Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Golftee zum Abschlagen eines Golfballs umfassend einen Fuß, ein an dem Fuß angeordnetes längenveränderliches Stützteil sowie eine Auflage für den Golfball.The invention relates to a golf tee for knocking a golf ball comprising a foot, arranged on the foot variable-length support member and a support for the golf ball.
Ein klassischer Golftee ist ein kleiner Stift aus Holz, Kunststoff oder Verbundmaterialien, der für den Abschlag des Golfballs in den Boden gesteckt wird und auf dessen Auflage der Ball aufgelegt (aufgeteet) werden darf. Der Ball liegt somit um die Länge des Schaftes des Golftees erhöht und ist daher einfacher zu spielen.A classic golf tee is a small pin made of wood, plastic or composite materials, which is inserted into the ground for the tee of the golf ball and on the support of which the ball may be placed. The ball is thus increased by the length of the shaft of the golf tee and is therefore easier to play.
Neben diesen klassischen Golftees, sind so genannte höheneinstellbare Golftees, insbesondere für den Winterbetrieb, bekannt geworden.In addition to these classic golf tees, so-called height adjustable golf tees, especially for winter operation, have become known.

Ausgehend von einem gattungsgemäßen Golftee, wie er sich aus der
Diese Aufgabe wird bei einem Golftee der eingangs erwähnten Art dadurch gelöst, dass das Stützteil als Schraubendruckfeder ausgestaltet ist, sich ein Zugmittel zwischen der Schraubendruckfeder und dem Fuß erstreckt und der Golftee eine Arretierung zum Festlegen des Zugmittels in unterschiedlicher Längserstreckung zwischen dem Fuß und der Schraubendruckfeder aufweist.This object is achieved in a golf tee of the type mentioned above in that the support member is designed as a helical compression spring, a traction means between the helical compression spring and the foot extends and the Golftee has a lock for fixing the traction means in different longitudinal extent between the foot and the helical compression spring ,
Die geringe Anzahl an Bauteilen trägt zu einem einfachen Aufbau des erfindungsgemäßen Golftees bei. Im einfachsten Fall besteht der Golftee aus einer Schraubendruckfeder, einem insbesondere einstückigen Fuß mit Arretierungsmitteln sowie einem Zugmittel. Die Schraubendruckfeder als längenveränderliches Stützteil unterliegt nahezu keinem Verschleiß und ist als robustes Standardbauteil verfügbar. Der vorzugsweise einstückige Fuß kann ebenfalls aus Metall gefertigt werden, was nicht nur zu dessen Stabilität beiträgt, sondern aufgrund des Gewichts darüber hinaus bewirkt, dass der Golftee beim Abschlagen des Golfballs nicht oder nicht so weit weg fliegt. Indem die Schraubendruckfeder mit Hilfe des Zugmittels mehr oder weniger zusammengedrückt und das Zugmittel mittels der Arretierung festgelegt wird, lässt sich die Auflage des Golftees mit einfachen Mitteln in unterschiedlicher Höhe einstellen.The small number of components contributes to a simple construction of the golf tee according to the invention. In the simplest case, the golf tee consists of a helical compression spring, a particular one-piece foot with locking means and a traction device. The helical compression spring as a variable-length support member is subject to almost no wear and is available as a sturdy standard component. The preferably one-piece foot can also be made of metal, which not only contributes to its stability, but also causes due to the weight beyond that the golf tee when tee off the golf ball not or not flying so far away. By the helical compression spring With the help of the traction means more or less compressed and the traction means is determined by means of the lock, the edition of the golf tee can be set with different means at different heights.
Sichere Standeigenschaften des Golftees werden dadurch begünstigt, dass die Schraubendruckfeder kegelstumpfförmig gewickelt ist, wobei ein erstes Federende die größere Grund- und Standfläche und das zweite Federende die Deckfläche des Kegelstumpfes ringförmig umgibt. Das zweite Federende kann zugleich die Auflage für den Golfball bilden, wenn der Durchmesser der von dem zweiten Federende umgebenen Deckfläche auf den Durchmesser des Golfballs abgestimmt ist. Insbesondere kann durch eine derartige Ausgestaltung der kegelstumpfförmigen Schraubendruckfeder die Konstruktion des Golftees weiter vereinfacht werden, da die Auflage integraler Bestandteil des längenveränderlichen Stützteiles ist.Safe stand properties of the golf tee are favored in that the helical compression spring is wound in a frustoconical shape, with a first spring end surrounding the larger base and standing surface and the second spring end annularly surrounding the top surface of the truncated cone. The second spring end can also form the support for the golf ball when the diameter of the surrounded by the second end of the spring deck is matched to the diameter of the golf ball. In particular, by such a configuration of the frusto-conical helical compression spring, the construction of the golf tee can be further simplified because the support is an integral part of the variable-length support member.
Wenn das zweite Federende ein in Richtung der Mitte der Deckfläche abgewinkelten Halteabschnitt aufweist, lässt sich hieran das Zugmittel in Verlängerung der Federlängsachse und damit in Wirkrichtung der Schraubendruckfeder optimal befestigen. Das Zugmittel erstreckt sich vorzugsweise entlang der Federlängsachse zwischen der Schraubendruckfeder und einer an dem Fuß des Golftees angeordneten Arretierung zum Festlegen des Zugmittels in unterschiedlicher Längserstreckung, wodurch die Schraubendruckfeder in unterschiedlicher Längenausdehnung feststellbar ist.If the second spring end has an angled in the direction of the center of the top surface holding portion, this can be the traction means in extension of the spring longitudinal axis and thus optimally secure in the effective direction of the helical compression spring. The traction means preferably extends along the spring longitudinal axis between the helical compression spring and arranged on the foot of the golf tee locking for fixing the traction means in different longitudinal extent, whereby the helical compression spring is determined in different longitudinal extent.
Damit der Golftee kippfrei auf jedem beliebigen Untergrund stehen kann, weist der Fuß vorzugsweise drei sich von dem Fuß in Richtung der Aufstandsfläche des Golftees erstreckende Stützbeine auf. Der als Dreibein ausgestaltete Fuß kann auf jedem beliebigen Untergrund kippfrei stehen, da drei Punkte immer in einer Ebene liegen.So that the tee can be tilt-free on any surface, the foot preferably has three extending from the foot in the direction of the footprint of the golf tee supporting legs. The foot designed as a tripod can be tilt-free on any surface, as three points always lie in one plane.
Sofern das Zugmittel als Seil ausgestaltet ist, kann die Arretierung form- oder kraftschlüssig wirken. Die formschlüssige Arretierung umfasst an dem Seil ausgebildete Verdickungen sowie einen vorzugsweise in Verlängerung der Federachse in dem Fuß angeordneten Durchbruch, den die Verdickungen formschlüssig hintergreifen. Eine kraftschlüssige Arretierung für das Zugmittel umfasst eine an dem Fuß angeordnete Seilklemme, die das Seil zusammenpresst und damit kraftschlüssig hält. Die kraftschlüssige Arretierung bietet den Vorteil, dass die Höhenverstellung stufenlos möglich ist.If the traction means is designed as a rope, the lock can act positively or non-positively. The positive locking comprises thickenings formed on the cable and a preferably arranged in extension of the spring axis in the foot breakthrough, which engage behind the thickenings form fit. A non-positive locking device for the traction means comprises a cable clamp arranged on the foot, which compresses the cable and thus holds it in a force-fitting manner. The non-positive lock has the advantage that the height adjustment is infinitely possible.
Sofern das Zugmittel als Kette, insbesondere Gliederkette, ausgestaltet ist, umfasst die Arretierung vorzugsweise einen Durchbruch in dem Fuß, den die versetzt zueinander angeordnete Glieder der Kette formschlüssig hintergreifen.If the traction means is designed as a chain, in particular link chain, the catch preferably comprises an opening in the foot, which engage behind the elements of the chain arranged offset from one another in a form-fitting manner.
Die Ausgestaltung des Zugmittels als flexibles Band ermöglicht es, das Band zum besseren Wieder finden eines weggeflogenen Golftees mit einer Signalfarbe auszuführen. Die Arretierung für ein vollständig als flexibles Band ausgeführtes Zugmittel umfasst im Abstand gleichmäßig angeordnete Durchgänge in dem Band, eine schlitzförmige Durchführung in dem Fuß für die Führung und Umlenkung des Bandes sowie einen an der Unterseite des Fußes angeordneten Fortsatz zum Durchsetzen eines Durchgangs in dem Band. Im Interesse einer preiswerten und einfachen Ausführung des Golftees ist der Fortsatz zugleich eines der drei Stützbeine des Fußes.The design of the traction means as a flexible band makes it possible to find the band for better re-find a weggeflogenen golf tee with a signal color. The detent for a fully flexible banded traction means includes spaced passageways in the band, a slot-shaped passageway in the foot for guiding and deflecting the band, and an extension at the bottom of the foot for penetrating a passageway in the band. In the interest of a cheap and simple design of the golf tee, the extension is at the same time one of the three support legs of the foot.
Um die Suche nach einem verschlagenen Golftee im Gelände zu erleichtern, weist das Zugmittel in vorteilhafter Ausgestaltung der Erfindung mindestens ein Signalisierungsmittel auf.In order to facilitate the search for a devious golf tee in the terrain, the traction means in an advantageous embodiment of the invention, at least one signaling means.
Sofern das Zugmittel als flexibles Band ausgeführt ist, kommt als Signalisierungsmittel eine Einfärbung des Bandes, insbesondere des vollständigen Bandes, mit einer Signalfarbe in Betracht. Sofern das Zugmittel als Seil ausgeführt ist, kann am Ende des Seiles zusätzlich ein eingefärbtes Band als Signalisierungsmittel befestigt sein.If the traction means is designed as a flexible band, comes as signaling a coloring of the band, in particular the complete band, with a signal color into consideration. If the traction means is designed as a rope, at the end of the rope additionally a colored band can be attached as a signaling means.
Schließlich können die Zugmittel Beschriftungsfelder, Werbeaufdrucke oder andere Unterscheidungsmerkmale aufweisen.Finally, the traction means can have labeling fields, advertising imprints or other distinguishing features.
