Abstract
A triune quick release assembly and connection golf club system is disclosed herein. The quick release golf club has an improved assembly, disassembly and connection between the club shaft to allow the golfer to effortlessly change the club grip and/or club head. The triune quick release assembly and connection golf club system includes a quick release connection between the club shaft and the club grip, and also includes a quick release connection between the club shaft and the club head.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat is claimed is:
1 . A triune quick release connection system for a golf club, said golf club comprising a club grip, a club head and a club shaft intermediate of said club grip and said club shaft, said triune quick release connection system, comprising:
a first quick release connection between an upper terminal end of said club shaft and a lower terminal end of said club grip, said first quick release connection comprising an integrally fabricated shank having a protruding stem, said first quick release connection further comprising an integrally fabricated chuck having an internal bore, said internal bore of said chuck having an internal configuration complementary to an external configuration of said protruding stem of said shank; and a second quick release connection between a lower terminal end of said club shaft and a hosel of said club head, said lower terminal end of said club shaft having an integrally fabricated chuck having an internal bore, said hosel of said club head comprising an integrally fabricated shank having a protruding stem forming a unitary club head; said internal bore of said integral chuck of said club shaft having an internal configuration complementary to an external configuration of said protruding stem of said hosel.
2 . The triune quick release connection system of claim 1 wherein said external configuration of said stem of said first quick release connection and/or said stem of said second quick release connection is a convex polygonal or a star polygonal configuration, and wherein said internal configuration of said internal bore of said chuck of said first quick release connection and/or said chuck of said second quick release connection is a convex polygonal configuration or a star polygon configuration.
3 . The triune quick release connection system of claim 1 wherein said shank of said first quick release connection is integrally fabricated within said lower terminal end of said club grip or is integrally fabricated within said upper terminal end of said club shaft; and wherein said chuck of said first quick release connection is integrally fabricated within said lower terminal end of said club grip or is integrally fabricated within said upper terminal end of said club shaft.
4 . The triune quick release connection system of claim 1 wherein said first quick release connection further comprises a biased cylindrical fastener slidably engaged with said lower terminal end of said club grip or slidably engaged with said upper terminal end of said club shaft; and said biased cylindrical fastener configured to attach said lower terminal end of said club grip and said upper terminal end of said club shaft.
5 . The triune quick release connection system of claim 1 wherein said chuck of said second quick release connection is integrally fabricated within said lower terminal end of said club shaft.
6 . The triune quick release connection system of claim 1 wherein said second quick release connection further comprises a biased cylindrical fastener slidably engaged with said lower terminal end of said club shaft; said biased cylindrical fastener configured to attach said lower terminal end of said club shaft to said hosel of said club head.
7 . The triune quick release connection system of claim 1 wherein said first quick release connection further comprises longitudinal axial or helical channels and lateral axial channels along said stem of said shank.
8 . The triune quick release connection system of claim 7 wherein said first quick release connection further comprises opposed detents protruding within said lower terminal end of said club grip or within said upper terminal end of said club shaft; and wherein said detents are configured to engage said longitudinal axial or helical channels and said lateral axial channels along said stem of said shank of said first quick release connection.
9 . The triune quick release connection system of claim 7 wherein said first quick release connection further comprises a biasing mechanism secured within said upper terminal end of said club shaft or secured within said lower terminal end of said club grip; said biasing mechanism configured to engage said stem of said shank of said first quick release connection.
10 . The triune quick release connection system of claim 1 wherein said second quick release connection further comprises longitudinal axial or helical channels and lateral axial channels along said stem of said shank of said unitary club head.
11 . The triune quick release connection system of claim 10 wherein said second quick release connection further comprises opposed detents protruding within said lower terminal end of said club shaft; wherein said detents are configured to engage said longitudinal axial or helical channels and said lateral axial channels along said stem of said shank of said unitary club head.
12 . The triune quick release connection system of claim 1 wherein said second quick release connection further comprises a biasing mechanism secured within said lower terminal end of said club shaft and configured to engage said stem of said shank of said unitary club head.
13 . The triune quick release connection system of claim 1 wherein said second quick release connection further comprises a biased cylindrical fastener slidably engaged with said lower terminal end of said club shaft; said biased cylindrical fastener configured to attach said lower terminal end of said club shaft to said hosel of said club head.
14 . The triune quick release connection system of claim 1 wherein said first quick release connection further comprises a secondary fastener secured to said lower terminal end of said club grip and configured to engage said upper terminal end of said club shaft.
15 . The triune quick release connection system of claim 1 wherein said stem of said shank of said first quick release connection and/or said second quick release connection terminates with an elongate plug body, and wherein said chuck of said first quick release connection and/or said second quick release connection further comprises a plug retaining chuck.
16 . The triune quick release connection system of claim 15 wherein said chuck of said first quick release connection is integrally fabricated with said lower terminal end of said club grip and/or said upper terminal end of said club shaft; and wherein said chuck of said second quick release connection is integrally fabricated with said lower terminal end of said club shaft.
17 . The triune quick release connection system of claim 15 further comprising a cylindrical fastener slidably engaged with said stem of said first quick release connection and/or said second quick release connection; and wherein said cylindrical fastener is configured to attach said elongate plug body to said plug retaining chuck.
18 . The triune quick release connection system of claim 15 further comprising a biased retainer sleeve having an axial bore with a plurality of radially aligned bearing retainers.
19 . The triune quick release connection system of claim 18 further comprising a biasing spring engaged with said biased retainer sleeve.
20 . The triune quick release connection system of claim 18 further comprising a plurality of thrust bearings engaged with said bearing retainers of said biased retainer sleeve.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
