Description

ACCESSOIRE DE GOLF PERMETTANT DE RECUPERER DES BALLES DE GOLF PAR RATISSAGEGOLF ACCESSORY FOR RECOVERING GOLF BALLS BY SCRAPING
La présente invention a pour objet un accessoire de golf qui permet de récupérer les balles de golf tombées dans un obstacle d'eau, ou dans un obstacle ou la balle ne peut pas être naturellement récupérée à la main. Il est tout aussi bien destiné, suivant le choix des versions, aux joueurs afin de récupérer une balle perdue durant le cours du jeu qu'à des personnes effectuant un ramassage systématique des balles, comme par exemple un ramassage périodique des balles tombées au fond d'un obstacle d'eau.The subject of the present invention is a golf accessory which makes it possible to recover golf balls which have fallen into a water obstacle, or in an obstacle where the ball cannot be naturally recovered by hand. It is just as well intended, according to the choice of the versions, to the players in order to recover a lost ball during the course of the play as to people carrying out a systematic collection of the balls, like for example a periodic collection of the balls fallen at the bottom of 'a water hazard.
On sait que la récupération des balles perdues par un joueur en bordure d'un obstacle d'eau ou plus généralement dans un obstacle naturel, s'opère aujourd'hui par des accessoires le plus souvent dénommés « épuisettes », ayant la forme de cône renversé ou de U, qui sont fixées au bout d'un manche, télescopique ou non, qui ont une longueur sensiblement égale à celle d'un club et qui comprennent un réceptacle dont la conformation ne permet de récupérer qu'une seule balle à la fois. Afin d'éviter que la balle récupérée ne puisse s'extraire d'elle même lors de la remontée dudit accessoire, certains modèles sont équipés d'un loquet oscillant situé en travers de l'ouverture qui permet, en se rabattant après que la balle ait pénétré dans le réceptacle, d'empêcher celle-ci de ressortir, seule une récupération manuelle de la balle permettant l'extraction de cette dernière. Néanmoins, lors des tentatives de récupération d'une balle qui a été égarée durant le cours du jeu dans un obstacle, ces dispositifs ne permettent pas de sonder la surface sur laquelle repose cette balle, ceci étant notamment valable pour un obstacle d'eau. Par conséquent, il est impératif, avant chaque opération de récupération, d'avoir parfaitement localisé la balle pour espérer la faire pénétrer dans le réceptacle de l'un desdits dispositifs néanmoins, l'opacité de la plupart des obstacles d'eau jalonnant un parcours de golf rendent cette opération de localisation et donc de récupération particulièrement difficile.We know that the recovery of balls lost by a player at the edge of a water obstacle or more generally in a natural obstacle, takes place today by accessories most often called "landing nets", having the shape of a cone overturned or U, which are fixed at the end of a handle, telescopic or not, which have a length substantially equal to that of a club and which include a receptacle whose conformation only allows to recover a single ball at the time. In order to prevent the recovered bale from being able to extract itself during the ascent of said accessory, certain models are fitted with an oscillating latch located across the opening which allows, by folding back after the bale has entered the receptacle, to prevent it from coming out, only a manual recovery of the ball allowing the extraction of the latter. However, during attempts to recover a ball which has been lost during the course of the game in an obstacle, these devices do not make it possible to probe the surface on which this ball rests, this being particularly valid for a water obstacle. Consequently, it is imperative, before each recovery operation, to have perfectly located the ball in order to hope to make it penetrate into the receptacle of one of said devices nevertheless, the opacity of most water obstacles marking out a course of golf make this location and therefore recovery operation particularly difficult.
L'invention a donc plus particulièrement pour but de supprimer ces inconvénients en proposant un dispositif maniable, léger et peu encombrant constituant un accessoire de golf, ce dispositif qui comprend un réceptacle récupérateur permet de récupérer aisément des balles de golf tombées dans des obstacles où elles ne peuvent être naturellement récupérées à la main, en procédant à un mouvement de ratissage.The invention therefore more particularly aims to eliminate these drawbacks by providing a handy, light and space-saving device constituting a golf accessory, this device which comprises a collecting receptacle makes it possible to easily recover golf balls dropped in obstacles where they cannot be naturally retrieved by hand, using a combing movement.
À cet effet, elle propose un accessoire de golf comprenant au moins une structure ajourée délimitant un réceptacle récupérateur, cette structure comprenant deux arêtes longitudinales écartées l'une de l'autre d'une distance supérieure au diamètre d'une balle de golf de manière à délimiter une ouverture par laquelle la balle peut s'introduire dans ledit réceptacle, cet accessoire de golf étant caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend des moyens de fixation d'un manche situés au niveau de l'une des extrémités desdites arêtes de telle manière que ce manche s'étende sensiblement perpendiculairement auxdites arêtes.To this end, it offers a golf accessory comprising at least one perforated structure delimiting a collecting receptacle, this structure comprising two longitudinal edges spaced from each other by a distance greater than the diameter of a golf ball so delimiting an opening through which the ball can be introduced into said receptacle, this golf accessory being characterized in that it comprises means for fixing a handle situated at one of the ends of said edges in such a way that this handle extends substantially perpendicular to said edges.
Avantageusement, ces moyens de fixation pourront coopérer avec une articulation permettant à ladite structure de se replier parallèlement au manche, cette articulation pouvant notamment être assistée par ressort ou être à biseau. De manière avantageuse, la structure ajourée de l'accessoire de golf comprend au moins un orifice dont la surface est inférieure à la surface projetée d'une balle de golf sur le plan où est disposé ledit orifice de telle façon que celle-ci puisse venir se loger dans l'orifice et y être maintenue par gravité lors de la remontée de l'accessoire de golf.Advantageously, these fixing means can cooperate with a hinge allowing said structure to fold parallel to the handle, this hinge being able in particular to be assisted by spring or be bevelled. Advantageously, the perforated structure of the golf accessory comprises at least one orifice whose surface is less than the projected surface of a golf ball on the plane where said orifice is arranged so that it can come lodge in the hole and be held there by gravity when raising the golf accessory.
Ainsi, les balles de golf placées dans l'axe du mouvement de ratissage pourront s'introduire dans le réceptacle de l'accessoire de golf et venir se loger dans l'un des orifices de ladite structure par conséquent, la possibilité de procéder à la recherche des balles de golf par ratissage systématique de la surface sur laquelle elles sont tombées, permet de faciliter cette recherche et d'optimiser ses chances de succès.Thus, the golf balls placed in the axis of the raking movement can be introduced into the receptacle of the golf accessory and come to be housed in one of the orifices of said structure consequently, the possibility of carrying out the research of golf balls by systematic raking of the surface on which they fell, allows to facilitate this research and to optimize its chances of success.
Selon une variante d'exécution de l'invention, l'accessoire de golf pourra comprendre deux structures ajourées solidarisées l'une à l'autre au niveau d'une bordure longitudinale de manière à délimiter un réceptacle récupérateur, ces deux structures comportant deux arêtes respectives écartées l'une de l'autre d'une distance supérieure au diamètre d'une balle de golf de manière à délimiter une ouverture par laquelle ladite balle peut s'introduire dans ledit réceptacle comprenant : • des moyens de fixation du type susdit d'un manche situés au niveau de l'une des extrémités de la bordure longitudinale de telle manière que ce manche s'étende perpendiculairement à ladite bordure; • des moyens d'articulation disposés entre les deux structures de manière à pouvoir articuler les deux structures et ainsi de les rabattre l'une contre l'autre.According to an alternative embodiment of the invention, the golf accessory may include two openwork structures secured to one another at a longitudinal edge so as to delimit a collecting receptacle, these two structures having two edges respective spaced from each other by a distance greater than the diameter of a golf ball so as to delimit an opening through which said ball can be introduced into said receptacle comprising: • fixing means of the above type d 'a handle located at one of the ends of the longitudinal edge so that this handle extends perpendicular to said edge; • articulation means arranged between the two structures so as to be able to articulate the two structures and thus to fold them against one another.
De manière avantageuse, chaque structure de l'accessoire de golf selon cette variante d'exécution de l'invention pourra être constituée par un cadre de préférence rectangulaire, la distance maximale séparant les deux arêtes longitudinales de ce cadre étant alors légèrement inférieure au diamètre d'une balle de golf afin que celle-ci puisse se loger dans l'espace délimité par ce cadre tout en y étant maintenue par gravité lors de la remontée de l'accessoire de golf.Advantageously, each structure of the golf accessory according to this alternative embodiment of the invention may be constituted by a preferably rectangular frame, the maximum distance separating the two edges longitudinal of this frame then being slightly less than the diameter of a golf ball so that it can be housed in the space delimited by this frame while being held there by gravity during the ascent of the golf accessory.
Avantageusement, ledit manche pourra être constitué par un club de golf dont la tête vient s'engager dans des moyens de rétention solidaires de l'une des structures, ces moyens de rétention constituant lesdits moyens de fixation.Advantageously, said handle may be constituted by a golf club, the head of which engages in retention means integral with one of the structures, these retention means constituting said fixing means.

Dans cet exemple, l'accessoire de golf 1 selon l'invention comprend une structure ajourée 2 qui délimite un réceptacle récupérateur 3 comprenant deux arêtes longitudinales 4, 4' écartées l'une de l'autre d'une distance supérieure au diamètre d'une balle de golf de manière à délimiter une ouverture 5 par laquelle la balle de golf peut s'introduire dans ledit réceptacle 3.In this example, the golf accessory 1 according to the invention comprises an openwork structure 2 which delimits a collecting receptacle 3 comprising two longitudinal edges 4, 4 ′ separated from one another by a distance greater than the diameter of a golf ball so as to delimit an opening 5 through which the golf ball can be introduced into said receptacle 3.
Tel que cela est représenté sur la figure 1, ladite structure 2 pourra présenter sensiblement une forme tubulaire et comprendre au moins un orifice 6 dont la surface est inférieure à la surface projetée d'une balle de golf sur le plan où est disposé ledit orifice 6 de telle façon que celle-ci puisse venir se loger dans l'orifice 6 et y être maintenue par gravité lors de la remontée de l'accessoire de golf l.As shown in FIG. 1, said structure 2 can have a substantially tubular shape and include at least one orifice 6 whose surface is less than the projected surface of a golf ball on the plane where said orifice 6 is disposed in such a way that the latter can be housed in the orifice 6 and be held there by gravity when the golf accessory l is raised.
Selon une variante d'exécution de l'invention, tel que cela est représenté sur la figure 2, ladite structure 2 pourra comprendre des paires d'orifices 6 du type susdit disposées à intervalles réguliers de telle façon que les orifices 6 constituant une paire soient placés de part et d'autre de l'axe médian de ladite structure 2 sur un axe sensiblement perpendiculaire à celui desdites arêtes 4, 4'. De cette manière, deux extrémités opposées d'une balle de golf ayant pénétré dans ledit réceptacle 3 peuvent s'insérer dans les orifices 6 constituant une même paire permettant ainsi de maintenir par gravité cette balle à l'intérieur du réceptacle 3 lors de la remontée de l'accessoire de golf 1.According to an alternative embodiment of the invention, as shown in FIG. 2, said structure 2 may comprise pairs of orifices 6 of the above type arranged at regular intervals so that the orifices 6 constituting a pair are placed on either side of the median axis of said structure 2 on an axis substantially perpendicular to that of said edges 4, 4 '. In this way, two opposite ends of a golf ball having penetrated into said receptacle 3 can be inserted into the orifices 6 constituting the same pair thus making it possible to hold this ball by gravity inside the receptacle 3 during the ascent. of the golf accessory 1.
Selon une autre variante d'exécution de l'invention (non représentée), ladite structure 2 pourra être constituée par un cadre de préférence rectangulaire et réalisé préférentiellement en fil métallique, la distance maximale séparant les deux arêtes longitudinales de ce cadre étant alors légèrement inférieure au diamètre d'une balle de golf afin que celle-ci puisse se loger dans l'espace délimité par le cadre tout en y étant maintenue par gravité lors de la remontée de l'accessoire de golf 1.According to another alternative embodiment of the invention (not shown), said structure 2 may be constituted by a preferably rectangular frame and preferably made of metal wire, the maximum distance separating the two longitudinal edges of this frame then being slightly less at diameter of a golf ball so that it can be housed in the space delimited by the frame while being held there by gravity when raising the golf accessory 1.
L'accessoire de golf 1 comprend également des moyens de fixation 7 d'un manche 8 situés au niveau de l'une des extrémités desdites arêtes 4, 4' de telle manière que ce manche 8 s'étende sensiblement perpendiculairement auxdites arêtes 4, 4'.The golf accessory 1 also comprises means 7 for fixing a handle 8 located at one of the ends of said edges 4, 4 'so that this handle 8 extends substantially perpendicular to said edges 4, 4 .
Ces moyens de fixation 7 peuvent également coopérer avec une articulation 9 permettant à ladite structure 2 de se replier parallèlement au manche 8.These fixing means 7 can also cooperate with a hinge 9 allowing said structure 2 to fold back parallel to the handle 8.
Ladite articulation 9 pourra notamment être assistée par ressort, être à biseau ou fonctionner selon un système de tenon et de mortaise.Said articulation 9 may in particular be spring-assisted, be beveled or operate according to a tenon and mortise system.
Ainsi, tel que cela est représenté sur la figure 3, la structure 2 de l'accessoire de golf 1 pourra comprendre un élément sensiblement tubulaire 10 fixé au niveau de l'une des extrémités desdites arêtes 4, 4' de telle manière qu'il s'étende sensiblement perpendiculairement auxdites arêtes 4, 4', cet élément présentant un diamètre sensiblement égal à celui du manche 8.Thus, as shown in FIG. 3, the structure 2 of the golf accessory 1 may comprise a substantially tubular element 10 fixed at one of the ends of said edges 4, 4 'so that it extends substantially perpendicular to said edges 4, 4 ′, this element having a diameter substantially equal to that of the handle 8.
De cette façon, si l'articulation 9 est à biseau, l'extrémité inférieure du manche 8 et l'extrémité supérieure de cet élément tubulaire 10 seront reliées entre elles à l'aide d'un moyen de fixation 7 pouvant être une vis, et seront biseautées suivant le même angle â qui sera préférentiellement égal à 45°.In this way, if the articulation 9 is bevelled, the lower end of the handle 8 and the upper end of this tubular element 10 will be connected to each other using a fixing means 7 which may be a screw, and will be bevelled at the same angle â which will preferably be equal to 45 °.
Le manche 8 pourra alors prendre deux positions : • une position déployée dans laquelle l'extrémité inférieure du manche 8 et l'extrémité supérieure de l'élément tubulaire 10 sont disposées dans un même axe qui est sensiblement perpendiculaire à celui desdites arêtes 4, 4'; • une position repliée obtenue en imprimant un mouvement de rotation au manche 8 ou à l'élément tubulaire 10 ainsi, une rotation de 180° de l'un de ces éléments permet lorsque l'angle â est égal à 45° de faire en sorte que le manche 8 en position repliée soit perpendiculaire à l'élément tubulaire 10.The handle 8 can then take two positions: • a deployed position in which the lower end of the handle 8 and the upper end of the tubular element 10 are arranged in the same axis which is substantially perpendicular to that of said edges 4, 4 '; • a folded position obtained by imparting a rotational movement to the handle 8 or to the tubular element 10 thus, a rotation of 180 ° of one of these elements allows when the angle â is equal to 45 ° to ensure that the handle 8 in the folded position is perpendicular to the tubular element 10.
L'articulation 9 pourra également consister en un montage à rotule (non représentée) dans lequel le manche 8 comporte à son extrémité inférieure une sphère, indifféremment creuse ou pleine alors que l'extrémité supérieure de l'élément tubulaire 10 comprend une cavité sphérique dans laquelle vient s'engager la sphère. Les dimensions de la sphère et de la cavité sont prévues de manière à ce que la sphère soit retenue prisonnière dans la cavité en pouvant "rotuler" et qu'en conséquence, un utilisateur peut faire pivoter le manche 8 et ainsi le positionner selon son besoin. Selon une variante d'exécution de l'invention, l'extrémité supérieure de l'élément tubulaire 10 pourra comporter une sphère, indifféremment creuse ou pleine et l'extrémité inférieure du manche 8 pourra comporter une cavité sphérique du type susdit dans laquelle vient s'engager la sphère.The articulation 9 may also consist of a ball joint assembly (not shown) in which the handle 8 has at its lower end a sphere, either hollow or solid, while the upper end of the tubular element 10 comprises a spherical cavity in which comes to engage the sphere. The dimensions of the sphere and of the cavity are provided so that the sphere is held captive in the cavity while being able to "swivel" and that consequently, a user can pivot the handle 8 and thus position it according to his need. . According to an alternative embodiment of the invention, the upper end of the tubular element 10 may comprise a sphere, either hollow or solid and the lower end of the handle 8 may include a spherical cavity of the above type in which comes '' engage the sphere.
Tel que cela est illustré sur la figure 4, ladite articulation 9 pourra également reposer sur un système de tenon et de mortaise. Dans ce cas, l'extrémité inférieure du manche 8 présentera sensiblement la forme d'un tenon 12 conformée de manière à pouvoir coopérer avec l'extrémité supérieure de l'élément tubulaire 10 qui présente sensiblement une forme de mortaise 13, l'extrémité inférieure du manche 8 étant liée à l'extrémité supérieure de l'élément tubulaire 10 à l'aide d'un moyen de fixation 7 pouvant être une vis. De cette façon, un utilisateur pourra faire pivoter le manche 8 et ainsi le positionner selon son besoin. Selon une variante d'exécution de l'invention (non représentée), l'extrémité supérieure de l'élément tubulaire 10 pourra présenter sensiblement la forme d'un tenon conformée d'une manière à pouvoir coopérer avec l'extrémité inférieure du manche 8 qui présente sensiblement une forme de mortaise, l'extrémité inférieure du manche 8 étant liée à l'extrémité supérieure de l'élément tubulaire 10 à l'aide d'un moyen de fixation 7 pouvant être une vis.As illustrated in FIG. 4, said articulation 9 can also rest on a tenon and mortise system. In this case, the lower end of the handle 8 will have substantially the shape of a tenon 12 shaped so as to be able to cooperate with the upper end of the tubular element 10 which has a substantially mortise shape 13, the lower end of the handle 8 being linked to the upper end of the tubular element 10 by means of a fixing means 7 which may be a screw. In this way, a user can rotate the handle 8 and thus position it as needed. According to an alternative embodiment of the invention (not shown), the upper end of the tubular element 10 may have substantially the shape of a pin shaped so as to be able to cooperate with the lower end of the handle 8 which presents substantially a form of mortise, the lower end of the handle 8 being linked to the upper end of the tubular element 10 by means of a fixing means 7 which may be a screw.
