Abstract
A housing assembly for golf swing sensing electronics that includes one or more sensors, such as accelerometers, gyrometers, or others, a battery, a threaded bottom plastics assembly that attaches to the grip end of a golf club, a plastic overmold, and an anti-rotation washer that secures the housing assembly, thus preventing dislodgement and/or rotation during use.
Claims20
A tag device, comprising:
- a sensor base, including one or more sensors configured to produce sensor data tracking movement of a golf club and a protrusion configured to screw into a hole of a grip end of a golf club;
- an overmold configured to mate with a top of the sensor base;
- and
- an anti-rotation washer positioned between the sensor base and the grip end of the golf club, including a disk and one or more claws extending downwardly from the disk, configured to embed in the hole in the grip end of the golf club;
- wherein the one or more sensors include at least one photosensor;
- and
- wherein the overmold is substantially transparent or translucent.

- an overmold configured to mate with a top of the sensor base;
- and
- an anti-rotation washer positioned between the sensor base and the grip end of the golf club, including a disk and one or more claws extending downwardly from the disk, configured to embed in the hole in the grip end of the golf club;
- wherein the disk of the anti-rotation washer includes one or more ridges or valleys configured to mate with one or more ridges or valleys in a bottom surface of the sensor base;
- and
- wherein the anti-rotation washer includes one or semi-circular protrusions extending radially outwardly from the disk, configured to frictionally engage with an interior surface of the overmold.
