Patent ID: 7160204

Claim:
A golf club head comprising: a body including a recess in a front side thereof; and a striking plate including a striking face on a front side thereof for striking a golf ball, a plurality of positioning protrusions projecting from an outer perimeter of the striking plate, said positioning protrusions being integrally formed on said outer perimeter and adapted to provide a tolerance in an assembling step so as to define a welding channel thereof, and connected to said recession of said body in a welding step by welding portion formed on said welding channel such that said welding portion securely mounts said striking plate in said recess of the body by said positioning protrusions and said outer perimeter of the striking plate being welded to an inner perimeter of the recess of the body; wherein when the striking plate is initially inserted into the recess of the body in the assembling step, said positioning protrusions plastically deform and securely engage with the inner perimeter delimiting the recess to prevent said striking plate from falling off from said recess of said body, after the assembling step, for aiding welding operation, thereby positioning the striking plate in the recess and simplifying assembling and positioning for a subsequent welding procedure, said positioning protrusions being disposed in a gap of said welding channel formed between the recess of the body and the striking plate.
