Filed:
Oct 11, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/975177

Stephen K. Scolamiero - Bristol RI
Thomas E. Moore - Cohasset MA
John W. Kennedy - Cohasset MA
Steven Earle - Plympton MA
Daniel Ditzel - Hanover MA
Assignee:
Acushnet Company - Fairhaven MA
International Classification:
B29C 4300
US Classification:
264248, 264255, 2642791, 2642975, 2642978
Abstract:
A method of making a golf ball core, including the steps of providing a plurality of centers; providing a top mold plate defining a first plurality of cavities, a bottom mold plate defining a second plurality of cavities corresponding to the first cavities, and a center mold plate disposed between the top and bottom mold plates and comprising a plurality of corresponding protrusions; forming a plurality of shells from a layer material by placing the layer material into the top and bottom mold plate cavities; and molding the layer material around the protrusions of the center plate by applying at least one of heat and pressure to the top and bottom mold plates such that the layer material has a different temperature than the mold plates; opening at least one mold plate from the center plate and placing the centers in the shells; and joining the top and bottom mold plates to join the shells around the centers.

Method For Forming Golf Ball Cores

US Patent:
6939497, Sep 6, 2005
Filed:
Aug 8, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/924348
Inventors:
Stephen K. Scolamiero - Bristol RI, US
Assignee:
Acushnet Company - Fairhaven CT
International Classification:
B29C043/02
US Classification:
264236, 264325, 264347, 264DIG 59
Abstract:
A method of forming a golf ball core includes compression molding a core material in a mold cavity to form a partially-cured core, then the partially-cured core is removed from the mold cavity and placed in a medium to continue curing until it is substantially-cured. The method can also be used to form a golf ball by adding the step of forming a cover layer over the substantially-cured core.

US Patent:
7708545, May 4, 2010
Filed:
Dec 12, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/609433
Inventors:
Stephen K. Scolamiero - Bristol RI, US
LeRoy H. Seymour - Acushnet MA, US
Michael F. Vieira - Acushnet MA, US
Assignee:
Acushnet Company - Fairhaven MA
International Classification:
B29C 44/56
US Classification:
425404, 209634, 198952, 198542
Abstract:
Systems and methods are provided for integrated curing and cooling of golf ball cores. A plate die is used to separate hot golf ball cores from a post-mold matrix. The hot golf ball cores are held in an insulated unit to maintain the elevated temperature of the golf ball cores to achieve additional curing or cross-linking. The hot, cured golf ball cores are then passed through a cooling section where ambient, turbulent air is passed over the golf ball cores to achieve the desired level of cooling. The cooled golf ball cores are delivered to a pneumatic delivery system for additional processing. A cueing hopper is also provided between the insulated unit and the cooling section to serve as a buffer or accumulator in the system.

Method For Cooling Golf Ball Cores

US Patent:
8012392, Sep 6, 2011
Filed:
Mar 17, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/725516
Inventors:
Stephen K. Scolamiero - Bristol RI, US
LeRoy H. Seymour - Acushnet MA, US
Michael F. Vieira - Acushnet MA, US
Assignee:
Acushnet Company - Fairhaven MA
International Classification:
B29C 71/00
US Classification:
264236, 264237, 264347, 264348
Abstract:
Methods for cooling golf ball cores are provided. The methods involve passing a matrix of hot golf ball cores through a die plate to separate individual golf ball cores from the matrix. The die plate has a plurality of holes and each hole is sized to allow a single golf ball core to pass there through. A post-cure unit is arranged to receive the hot cores for additional curing and cross-linking. The hot, cured golf ball cores are then passed through a cooling section where high velocity air is passed over the golf ball cores to achieve the desired level of cooling. The cooling section may contain a fan assembly including an air diffuser to provide sufficient air flow coverage. The cooled golf ball cores may be delivered to a pneumatic delivery system for additional processing.

Method For Molding A Golf Ball Mantle Layer

US Patent:
20010008320, Jul 19, 2001
Filed:
Dec 18, 1998
Appl. No.:
09/215223
Inventors:
STEPHEN K. SCOLAMIERO - BRIDGEWATER MA, US
International Classification:
B29C043/18
B29C045/14
US Classification:
264/250000, 264/254000, 264/255000, 264/248000, 264/279100
Abstract:
A method for molding a layer around a body. The method includes injection molding uncured layer material around a first portion of the body to surround the first portion while leaving a second portion of the body free from layer material. Additional layer material is injection molded around the second portion of the body to contact the layer material around the first portion. The layer material is then compression molded around the body and cured.

Method For Forming Golf Ball Subassemblies

US Patent:
20030052438, Mar 20, 2003
Filed:
Oct 25, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/280900
Inventors:
William Brum - Raynham MA, US
Stephen Scolamiero - Bristol RI, US
International Classification:
B29C043/02
B29C071/00
B29C071/02
US Classification:
264/236000, 264/297500, 264/297800, 264/237000, 264/320000, 264/325000
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a method of forming a golf ball subassembly. After forming a partially-cured golf ball subassembly, the partially-cured subassembly is placed in a medium to continue curing until it is a substantially-cured subassembly. The medium in this embodiment is heated air and the subassemblies are moved through the heated air on a spiraled path. Subsequent to substantially curing the subassembly, it can be cooled in a cooling unit with a spiraled path. In one embodiment, the subassembly is a core, in another embodiment the subassembly is a core with a castable material thereabout.

US Patent:
20030067088, Apr 10, 2003
Filed:
Oct 9, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/973344
Inventors:
Stephen Scolamiero - Bristol RI, US
Michael Vieira - Acushnet MA, US
William Brum - Raynham MA, US
International Classification:
B29C031/00
B29C043/00
US Classification:
264/040400, 264/148000, 264/320000, 425/169000, 425/297000, 425/408000
Abstract:
The present invention relates to method and apparatus for making golf ball cores. The method includes using an inspection system during preform formation to measure the perform. The measurements are used to determine the measured perform volume and compare it to a standard preform volume. The method also includes using mold with pairs of self-aligning half-molds. The apparatus for inspecting the preforms comprises a non-contact measuring device, such as a camera. The self-aligning half-molds each include an upper surface with an angularly offset portion. When the offset portions mate during mold closure, the half-molds move with respect to one another.
