DEFINITION

Classification: 473/305

Head and shaft connection:

(under subclass 282) Subject matter wherein the instrument comprises means to affix a ball striking portion to an elongated member extending longitudinally therefrom and wherein said affixing means forms a part of or contacts the elongated member.

(1) Note. The mere nominal recital of a hosel is not enough to make classification in this or indented subclasses proper. Significance has to be attributed to the connection. For example, a claim which names "a head comprising a hosel for connecting a shaft thereto..." but lacks any further description of the hosel is not classifiable here.
