Abstract
A method of forming a device of composite material includes providing a mold having an internal space forming a cavity with an inner surface, the cavity having a shape corresponding to an inner shape of the device to be formed, placing inserts at one or more pre-defined positions along the inner surface, holding the inserts at the one or more positions, introducing removable material into the cavity of the mold to form a pattern having the inserts fixed therein when the removable material is in solid form, and removing the pattern having the inserts fixed therein from the mold.
Claims35
A method of forming a device of composite material, the method comprising:
- providing a mold having an internal space forming a cavity with an inner surface, the cavity having a shape corresponding to an inner shape of the device to be formed;
- placing inserts at one or more pre-defined positions along the inner surface;
- holding the inserts at the one or more positions;
- introducing removable material into the cavity of the mold to form a pattern having the inserts fixed therein when the removable material is in solid form;
- and
- removing the pattern having the inserts fixed therein from the mold.
The method according to claim 1,
- wherein at least one of the inserts is shaped to form a functional component or is a functional component of the device.
The device according to claim 36, wherein the one or more functional components act as one or more weights of the head, a first functional component of the one or more functional components acts as the shaft connector insert and a second functional component of the one or more functional components acts as a face of the head of the golf club.

A pattern of removable material, the pattern comprising:
- one or more inserts placed at one or more predefined positions along an outer surface of the pattern.
A device of composite material, comprising:
- one or more functional components placed at one or more predefined positions along an inner surface of the device, the functional components being integrally formed in one piece with the device, or embedded within a structure integrally formed in one piece with the device.
