Definitions
- the present invention relates to a golf ball or tee holder.
- the main function of a tee is to keep the golf ball high so that the golf player can hit the ball without touching the ground.
- the present invention relates more particularly, but not exclusively, to the training ground known as "practice" on which the player performs several strikes using a distributor taking golf balls on a tee attached to the practice mat.
- the tee according to the invention can also be applied to manual laying of the ball.
- standard tees are used with golf ball dispensers.
- the distribution is carried out in a fairly complex manner as can be seen in the document WO 9803232 where the distribution arm comprises a loop intended for gently place the ball on the tee.
- the present invention aims to achieve a new tee capable of receiving and keeping on its receiving surface a golf ball placed manually or by means of a golf ball dispenser.
- Another object of the invention is a flexible tee opposing a minimum of resistance when touched by a golf club during a strike.
- a golf ball or tee support comprising a lower part intended to be held in the ground and an upper part above the ground; the upper part comprising at the upper end a receiving surface for the golf ball.
- the support according to the invention comprises a return protrusion to prevent the escape of the golf ball during a pose. This protrusion extends upwards from at least one side of said upper part.
- the support can consist at least of natural rubber and substantially 70% of a butyl-based material to prevent the rebound of the golf ball during installation and to guarantee flexibility during the striking. It also includes other conventional materials. However, the support may consist of substantially 100% of a butyl-based material.
- the central part between the upper part and the lower part has a reduced diameter so as to constitute a folding zone. Thus the support can easily bend when struck by the club of a player. This minimizes the resistance of the support relative to the club, which makes it possible to limit, or even cancel, the influence of the shock between the club and the support on the trajectory.
- the upper part has a parabolic or conical shape with the end of smaller diameter disposed downwards.
- the protuberance is not in the striking zone, it is designed so that it has a width less than or equal to three-quarters of the diameter of the tee.
- the protuberance and the ball are spaced from each other, so they are not in contact.
- the distance between the protuberance and the golf ball is substantially equal to 2mm.
- the lower part may have a base in the form of a disc arranged horizontally and intended to be fixed in a training mat.
- FIG. 1 is a side sectional view of the support according to the invention
- - Figure 2 is a top view of the support 1 according to the invention.
- the body of the support 1 is made from a mixture of butyl and natural rubber, which gives it a flexible and resistant character. This body may be full or hollow as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.
- the support 1 consists of an upper part 5, a folding zone 7 and a lower part 6 which can all be inscribed in a vertical straight cylinder.
- the lower part 6 rests on a disc 8 serving as a base for the support 1.
- the disc 8 has a diameter of 54mm for a thickness of 3mm.
- the lower part is composed of a trunk of approximately 16mm in diameter with a height substantially identical to the thickness of the carpet. For carpets with a thickness of 35mm, tees can be produced with a total height of 42mm or 65mm. For carpets with a thickness of 15mm, tees can be produced with a total height of 25mm or 48mm.
- the upper part 5 is in the conical shape flared upwards. The folding area has a reduced diameter compared to the trunk of the lower part and the receiving surface 3 of the upper part.
- the receiving surface 3 in the form of a crown shaped so as to receive the ball. Its diameter can be 15mm or 18mm.
- a protrusion 4 extending upward obliquely. This protuberance is sufficiently rigid and elastic to return the ball to the receiving surface during installation. It acts as a convex return arm. It is arranged so that there is a space of about 2mm with the ball at rest. It is not in contact with the ball at rest.
