Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a training device for playing golf.
  • the present invention aims to remedy these drawbacks by providing a device of particularly simple design, requiring little maintenance at low cost and allowing golf training in the best conditions.
  • the golf training apparatus comprises a housing 1 for the practice of large shots and approach shots.
  • This housing 1, of rectangular shape, consists of two anterior 2 and posterior parallelepipedic parts 3 of the same dimensions, articulated, along two adjacent short sides, around a transverse hinge 4.
  • the two articulated parts 2 and 3 of the housing 1 are advantageously covered, partially or entirely, with a layer of synthetic grass 5 applied to their upper horizontal faces, when the housing 1 is deployed and the two parts 2, 3 are aligned with each other at the horizontal on the ground, these two faces coming into contact with one another when the box 1 is folded.
  • the front part 2 carries a tee 7, constituted by a section of tube, standing vertically above the upper face 2a of this part and on which a golf ball 8 can be placed so that it is raised by relative to the upper face 2a of the front part 2 of the housing.
  • the device according to the invention also comprises a step 9 which is necessary so that the player is located at the correct height with respect to the ball 8.
  • This step 9, of the same thickness as the main housing 1, is in the form a rectangular tank, advantageously also covered with a layer 5 of synthetic grass on its upper face.
  • This step 9 can advantageously be housed inside the rear part 3 of the housing 1, when the latter is folded back in the closed position.
  • the rear part 3 of the housing 1 has, in its upper face 3a, a hole 10 allowing the practice of putting as will be described later.
  • a protective net 11 is fixed to the rear part 3, this net extending upwards, from the longitudinal sides and from the rear transverse side of the rear part 3. For transport this net 11 advantageously folds up at inside the housing 1.
  • the front part 2 of the housing contains a mechanism which ensures, after the execution of a swing, the return of the ball 8 to the starting position.
  • This mechanism comprises a cable 12 which is attached to the ball 8 and which extends through an opening 13 provided in the upper face 2a of the front part 2 of the housing.
  • the tee 7 is articulated, at its lower part, about a horizontal and transverse axis 14.
  • This axis 14 is advantageously constituted by a metal rod passing right through the tee tubular 7, extending transversely between a side and longitudinal wall 2b of the housing part 2 and the front face of a transverse screw 15, on which it is supported, this screw 15 being screwed into the other side wall and longitudinal 2c of part 2 of the housing.
  • the rod 14 passes through the vertical slots of two longitudinal guide pieces 15 in the shape of an inverted U, which are fixed to the bottom 2d of the front part 2, on either side of the tee 7. It is thus possible, by screwing more or less the screw 15, to deform the metal rod 14 between a horizontal rectilinear position as shown in solid lines in FIG.
  • the cable 12 extends, starting from the bale 8, longitudinally through the tubular tee 7, it passes under a transverse support pin 16 located approximately halfway length of the tubular tee 7 and above the articulation axis 14 of the tubular tee 7, and it exits from it through a longitudinal slot 17 formed in the lower and anterior part of the tubular tee 7 and extending to its lower end, from there the cable 12 passes between an upper counterpressure cylinder 18 and a lower drive cylinder 19, these two cylinders being arranged one above the other and each having a horizontal and transverse axis.
  • the lower drive cylinder 19 is coupled to the output shaft of at least one drive motor 20 (in the case of two opposite motors 20 in the embodiment shown).
  • the cable 12 then enters a storage magazine 21 in which it is coiled in a random manner and it is fixed at its end.
  • the upper counterpressure cylinder 18 is fixed under a rectangular mobile plate 22 which extends in a part of the opening 13 provided in the upper horizontal face 2a of the front part 2 of the housing 1. This mobile plate 22 extends only over a part of the length of the opening 13, so as to leave, at the rear, a free passage for the cable 12 when the ball 8 is thrown in the direction of the net 11 as will be seen below.
  • the movable plate 22 is articulated, along its front edge, on the upper face 2a of the part 2 of the housing 1, by means of a transverse hinge 23 and it thus forms a pedal on which the player can press. It has, in its rear part, a longitudinal notch 24 which opens into its rear edge and which is wide enough to allow the passage through it of the tubular tee 7, when the latter comes to occupy its vertical position which is shown in phantom in figure 2.
  • a protective cradle 25 is disposed just below the lower drive cylinder 19, over the greater part of its length, to prevent the cable 12 from being able to wind around the lower drive cylinder 19.
  • a contactor 26 which controls the supply of the electric motor or motors 20.
  • the movable plate 22 is normally maintained in its horizontal position, as shown in FIG. 2, by means springs 27 bearing on the bottom 2d of part 2 of the housing and under the plate 22. In the horizontal position the movable plate 22 is thus flush with the rest of the upper face 2a of part 2 of the housing.
  • the player places the ball 8 on the upper end of the tubular tee 7 which is then in a vertical position, as shown in phantom in Figure 2.
  • This position can be adjusted by height by action on the screw 15 controlling the arching of the rod 14.
  • the ball 8 is thrown backwards towards the net 11 and it drives the cable 12 to which it is attached.
  • This movement causes the tubular tee 7 to tilt in an anticlockwise direction under the action of the cable 12 which is pulled by the ball 8 backwards, that is to say to the left on the Figure 2, and which takes place from the cable reserve contained in the storage magazine 21, and this freely so that the upper counterpressure cylinder 18 is separated from the lower drive cylinder 19.
  • the bale 6 is stopped in its race by the net 11 and it falls on the upper face 3a of the rear part 3 of the housing 1.
  • the part of the cable 12 which is located downstream of the two cylinders 18, 19, is thus forced back and forced to penetrate into the my storage gasin 21 in which the cable coils on itself in a completely random manner.
  • the cable is prevented from sliding relative to this tubular tee 7 and the tensile force exerted on the cable 12 causes, due to the fact that the pin support 16 is located above the pivot axis 14, a pivoting movement of the tubular tee 7 and of the ball 8 which it carries, in a clockwise direction, to bring it into a vertical position of departure.
  • the upper part of the tubular tee 7 engages in the notch 24 provided in the rear part of the plate 22.
  • Figure 6 illustrates how the apparatus according to the invention can be adapted for putting training.
  • the rear part 3 of the housing 1, which is provided with the hole 10 is used and this part 3 is used with other similar rectangular housings 3 also each provided with a hole 10, these housings extending perpendicularly either to a small side or to a large side of the rear part 3:
  • Obstacles 28 can be fixed in appropriate places on the surfaces of the boxes, in order to allow the player to choose at will the difficulty of his drilling.
  • Removable covers 29 can be used to plug holes 10 at will.
  • the device according to the invention may also include a movable part 30 of triangular shape making it possible to connect two adja housings cents at any angle, so as to constitute any route.
