ABSTRACT:
The golf club head cleaning machine uses two pairs of cylindrical brushes, one pair for the irons, the other for woods. The brushes of each pair operate in close proximity and the cleaning is done in the areas of proximity. In these areas the bristles of the brushes move in opposite directions in order to reduce the structural loads on the joints between the heads and clubs. The brushes for the woods are accessible through an opening in the lower front of the machine and operate dry. The brushes for the irons are wetted and are accessible through a curtained slot which lies essentially in a horizontal plane and extends across the front and part way back on each side of the machine. This slot allows the club heads to be moved through the passage from one side of the machine to the other and therefore allows for using a conveyor to move the clubs through the machine. The curtains in the opening and slot prevent escape of debris and the cleaning liquid. The brushes for the irons mounted one above the other, are parallel to each other and to the front of the machine and are in a plane which is at an angle to the essentially horizontal plane of the passage such that the upper brush is closer to the back of the machine. The preferred angle is approximately 60 degrees. The brushes for the woods are also parallel to each other and to the front of the machine and are in a plane which is about 10 degrees out of vertical with the upper brush farther from the back of the machine.
