Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide a grip tape having a high shock absorbing capability, excellent in the water absorption property of sweat, and suitable for a golf club. CONSTITUTION:A grip tape 1 is constituted of a belt-like tape main body 2 having a sandwich structure provided with an intermediate layer made of a synthetic resin fiber nonwoven fabric and a surface layer and a back layer made of a synthetic resin having resiliency and water absorption property on both sides and a projection section 3 provided along the tape main body 2 nearly at the center section on the back side of the tape main body 2 and having high cushion property, and the grip tape 1 is spirally wound on the grip of a golf club for use.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a grip tape wound around a grip of a golf club or the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art The grip portion of a golf club, various rackets, etc. is made of leather or rubber in order to prevent the grip from slipping in the hand due to an impact when the ball hits the head and the head from shaking. Etc. are wound. For example, a grip portion of a golf club is covered with a cylindrical rubber having one end closed at a grip portion of a shaft and a large number of grooves formed on the surface to make fine irregularities.

[0003]

However, since the rubber grip already attached to the club is relatively hard and lacks elasticity and water absorption, the impact applied to the hand when duffed is large, and , Especially when playing on a hot day such as summer, there was a problem that it was slippery due to sweat or the like. Also, if it is used for many years, the rubber surface of the grip is worn and the groove becomes shallow or disappears, and the anti-slip effect is lost. In this case, the grip may be replaced, but this replacement work is troublesome.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a grip tape suitable for a golf club or the like, which has a high impact absorption capacity and can be firmly gripped without slipping due to sweat or the like. .

[0005]

For this reason, the grip tape of the present invention has a band-like shape having a sandwich structure in which a nonwoven fabric is used as an intermediate layer and a front surface layer and a back surface layer made of a synthetic resin having elasticity and water absorption are provided on both sides thereof. And the tape main body, and a protrusion having a high cushioning property provided along the tape main body at a substantially central portion on the back surface side of the tape main body.

[0006]

With this structure, when the tape is wound around the grip of a golf club or various rackets, the protrusions on the back surface of the tape body are raised to form appropriate irregularities on the grip surface, and the tape body surface absorbs water. Since the material is excellent in elasticity and elasticity, it does not easily slip even when sweating, etc., and it can effectively cushion when a shock is applied. Moreover, the fit feeling when gripping the golf club is improved.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In FIG. 1, a grip tape 1 for a golf club of the present embodiment is composed of a belt-shaped tape body 2 and a protrusion 3 provided along the tape body 2 at a substantially central portion on the back surface side of the tape body 2. There is.

The tape body 2 is, as shown in FIG.
Intermediate layer 2A made of non-woven fabric, and front and back layers 2B and 2C made of synthetic resin having elasticity and water absorption on both sides thereof
It has a sandwich structure. As the manufacturing method, for example, a nonwoven fabric containing polyester or rayon as a main raw material is impregnated with a polyurethane resin from the surface. As a result, a three-layered tape body 2 having a sandwich structure is formed with the middle layer 2A made of a nonwoven fabric impregnated with polyurethane resin in the center and the front surface layer 2B and the back surface layer 2C made of polyurethane resin on both sides. The amount of resin impregnated can be controlled by the method of impregnating the polyurethane resin from the surface.

The protrusion 3 is formed of a polyethylene independent foam having a high cushioning property, for example, as an elongated prism.
The tape body 2 is adhered to the substantially central portion on the back surface side with an adhesive. When such a grip tape 1 is spirally wound on the grip rubber of the golf club with the surface layer 2B having no protrusions 3 on the front side as shown in FIG. Unevenness is created at various intervals.

According to the grip tape having such a constitution, since the grip portion can have appropriate elasticity, water absorption and unevenness, the golf club has a good fit when gripped and even when sweating. It absorbs sweat and becomes slippery, preventing head shake at the moment of impact. In addition, it has an excellent ability to absorb shock when it is applied, and an excellent body protection effect. Further, it has an effect that gloves are unnecessary.

In this embodiment, a golf club has been described as an example, but needless to say, it can be used as a grip tape for various rackets such as tennis rackets, badminton, squash and the like.

[0012]

As described above, according to the present invention, elasticity and water absorption are excellent, and since appropriate irregularities can be provided when wound around a grip, even when sweating, etc. It has a sufficient anti-slip effect, an excellent shock absorbing effect, and an excellent body protecting effect. In particular, when applied to a golf club, gloves are not required.
