Apparatus for providing motion sensors on a golf club
First Claim
1. A motion analysis device comprising:
- a fixed clamping member having a first interior surface, and being constructed of a first material;
a sensor unit integrally formed on an exterior surface of the fixed clamping member, the sensor unit being configured to detect a motion of the motion analysis device;
a pivoting clamping member pivotally secured to a first end of the fixed clamping member, and having a second interior surface that opposes the first interior surface of the fixed clamping member when the pivoting clamping member is in a secured position;
a gripping element formed over one or more of the first interior surface and the second interior surface, the gripping element being constructed of a second material that is different than the first material;
a tightening member pivotally secured to a second end of the fixed clamping member and having a cylindrical threaded portion;
a rotatable knob having a threaded interior portion, the threaded interior portion having a diameter corresponding to that of the cylindrical threaded portion so as to be threadingly engaged therewith,wherein the pivoting clamping member includes an opening having a shape and a size such that the tightening member is engagable therein, andwherein the rotatable knob is configured to be rotated around the cylindrical threaded portion of the tightening member and engage with an exterior surface of the pivoting clamping member to place the pivoting clamping member in the secured position.

Abstract
A fixed clamping member has a first interior surface and is constructed of a first material. A sensor unit formed on an exterior surface of the fixed clamping member detects a motion of the motion analysis device. A pivoting clamping member secured to a first end of the fixed clamping member has a second interior surface that opposes the first interior surface when the pivoting clamping member is in a secured position. A gripping element constructed of a second material different than the first material is formed over the first interior surface and the second interior surface. A tightening member having a threaded portion is secured to a second end of the fixed clamping member. A knob has a threaded interior portion with a diameter corresponding to the cylindrical threaded portion. An opening on the pivoting clamping member has a shape and a size corresponding to the tightening member.
