Definitions

  • the present invention relates to golf accessories and more particularly, to a golf counter that can be fastened to a necktie clip or golf glove for counting strokes as well as putts.
  • Most golf courses consist of eighteen holes. The first stroke on each hole is hit from the teeing ground. Once on the green, the ball is putted toward the hole.
  • Golf is a popular sport across all sections of society. People usually play golf in groups. Each player records the score on a score card with a pen. It is inconvenient to record the score in this manner. Further, a beginner may forget the number strokes actually played, raising a dispute.
  • a golf counter according to the preamble of claim 1 is known from US 5,730,658 .
  • This golf counter is simple and of small size. It can, however, only be used to count and show one number, in this case the number of strokes.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a golf counter, which is convenient for use to count strokes as well as putts during a golf game.
  • the golf counter comprises a bottom wheel member, a middle wheel member, and a top wheel member. These three stacked wheels are pivotally connected.
  • the bottom wheel member has a series of numerals marked on its top side for counting strokes.
  • the middle wheel member has a through viewing hole for the numerals of the bottom wheel member, and is marked with a series of numerals for counting putts.
  • the top wheel member has a through viewing hole for the numerals of the middle wheel member.
  • the golf counter can be fastened to a clip, for example, necktie clip, by means of a magnet.
  • the golf counter can be directly riveted to a golf glove for convenient use.
  • a golf counter 1 which does not fall within the scope of the present invention is shown comprising a first wheel member 11 and a second wheel member 12. This golf counter is for counting strokes, including putts, during a golf game.
  • the first wheel member 11 has a stub center shaft 111 perpendicularly protruding from the center of its top side with a series of numerals (for example, 1 ⁇ 12) 112 marked on it and equiangularly spaced around the stub center shaft 111, multiple turning/interlocking devices 113 equiangularly spaced around the peripheral, and multiple of recesses 114 formed on the top side and equiangularly spaced around the stub center shaft 111.
  • a series of numerals for example, 1 ⁇ 12
  • the second wheel member 12 is attached to the top side of the first wheel member 11, having a center pivot hole 121 coupled to the stub center shaft 111 of the first wheel member 11, a through viewing hole 124 for the user to see one of the numerals 112, two downward lugs 125 extending from the periphery at two opposite sides, a positioning device 1251 formed on the inside of each of the downward lugs 125 and respectively engaged with one of the turning/interlocking 113 of the first wheel member 11 to hold down the second wheel member 12 to the first wheel member 11 in such a position that the through viewing hole 124 is aimed at one of the numerals 112, and multiple raised stubs 123 protruding from its bottom side and equiangularly spaced around the center pivot hole 121 and respectively engaged into the recesses 114 of the first wheel member 11.
  • a pivot cap 14 is fastened to the stub center shaft 111 of the first wheel member 11 to secure the second wheel member 12, allowing turning the second wheel member 12 around the stub center
  • the user rotates the first wheel member 11 relative to the second wheel member 12 to shift the engagement between the positioning devices 1251 of the downward lugs 125 and the turning/interlocking devices 113 of the first wheel member 11 by one notch, thereby counting the number of strokes.
  • a golf counter 1 in accordance with a first embodiment of the present invention comprising a bottom wheel member 11, a middle wheel member 12, and a top wheel member 13.
  • the golf counter of Fig. 1 is for counting total strokes of each hole during a golf game.
  • the bottom wheel member 11 of this first embodiment of the present invention is similar to the first wheel member 11 of the aforesaid golf counter of FIG. 1 but only for tee and fairway shots.
  • the middle wheel member 12 of this first embodiment is substantially similar to the second wheel member 12 of the aforesaid golf counter of FIG.
  • the middle wheel member 12 of this second embodiment further has a series of numerals (for example, 0 ⁇ 5) 122, for counting number of putts, marked on the top side and equiangularly spaced around the center pivot hole 121.
  • the top wheel member 13 is attached on top of the middle wheel member 12, having a diameter relatively smaller than the middle wheel member 12, a center hole 131 pivotally coupled to the center stub shaft 111 of the bottom wheel member 11, a through viewing hole 132 through which the user can see one of the numerals 122, and at least one, for example, two raised stubs 133 protruded from the bottom side and engaged into the raised stubs 123 of the middle wheel member 12.
  • the user can rotate the bottom wheel member 11 relative to the middle wheel member 12 to shift the engagement between the positioning devices 1251 of the downward lugs 125 and the turning/interlocking devices 113 of the bottom wheel member 11 by one notch, thereby counting the number of strokes, or rotate the top wheel member 13 relative to the middle wheel member 12 to shift the engagement between the raised stubs 133 of the top wheel member 13 and the recesses of the middle wheel member 12 to count putts.
  • the golf counter 1 can be fastened to the metal base member 41 or 51 of a metal clip 4 or 5 by means of a magnet 3. By means of the metal clip 4 or 5, the golf counter 1 can be fastened to the user's clothing.
  • the golf counter 1 may be directly riveted to a golf glove 6 for convenient use.
  • the invention provides a golf counter, which has the following features.
