Description

DESCRIPTION

TOOL FOR HYGIENE AND GOOD PRACTICES IN THE GOLF GAME

TECHNICAL SECTOR

The present invention refers to a tool for hygiene and good practices in the game of golf, the purpose of which is to allow the handling of both the golf balls and the signaling flags of the corresponding holes, in the most hygienic way possible.

It is also an object of the invention to provide a container that makes it possible to disinfect the tool after use, as well as additionally a game ball.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

During the sporting practice of the game of golf, it is necessary to act manually on the golf balls, as well as on the signal flags of the corresponding holes.

Although most players use gloves for this purpose, this is not always the case, and there may be a risk of transferring germs, bacteria or viruses caused by the shared use of these types of facilities.

That is why the applicant of this utility model detects the need to develop a device that guarantees hygiene and / or safety against germs, bacteria or viruses during golf.

EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

The recommended hygiene and good practice tool in the game of golf fully satisfactorily solves the aforementioned problem, based on a simple but effective solution.

For this, and more specifically, the tool of the invention is embodied in a kind of clamp preferably made up of a material of an elastically deformable nature, as which is made up of two symmetrical, elongated and parallel arms, which are linked together at their rear end through a "U" bend, so that said elongated arms present corresponding pairs of arcuate configuration conformations.

In this way, the first conformations affect their front end, with a radius of curvature according to the radius of a golf ball, while the second conformations affect the lateral edges of said arms, also arched, being arranged in proximity to the mentioned forelimb. Thus, the second conformations have a slightly smaller radius of curvature, according to the radius of the mast of the flag for the corresponding hole.

In this way, the gripper can be used to collect the ball from the hole without having to put your hand in it, facilitating the maneuver and making it much more hygienic. Likewise, the utility of the developed clamp makes it possible to remove the corresponding signaling flag from a hole through the use of the clamp conformations located through its lateral edges, so that the mentioned conformations would hold the mast of the corresponding signaling flag. .

The device thus described will be complemented with a sanitizing container, which also allows its convenient transport in the corresponding bag for the sticks, a container that has a body like a glass, with a hinged upper closing lid, in which a few recesses on which the corresponding disinfectant product is poured, and which allow the free ends of the clamp arms, as well as the golf ball to be received stably.

Optionally, the sanitizing container can be opened through the lower area of its body, in order to access a second emptying, in this case with a sphere shape, formally and dimensionally appropriate to receive the corresponding golf ball within it. .

In this way, both the tool and the ball can be disinfected when they are not being used.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

In view of the figures outlined, it can be seen how the tool of the invention is constituted from a clamp, in which two elongated arms [(1), (1 ')] are defined that are linked together forming a body one-piece through its rear end (2) with the particularity that said arms (1) present in correspondence with their front end two pairs of conformations [(3), (3 ')] and [(4), (4' )] with an arched configuration, the former affecting its anterior limb and with a radius of curvature according to the radius of the golf ball (5), and the latter, affecting the lateral edges of said arms [(1), (1 ')] in proximity to said front end, also arched, but with a smaller radius of curvature, specifically with a radius of curvature according to the radius of the mast (6) of the signal flag of the corresponding hole (7).

Preferably, the one-piece body is made up of a material of an elastically deformable nature so as to facilitate the movement of the elongated arms (1) when applying pressure to them to hold the golf ball (5) or the flagpole. marking a hole (7).

Optionally, the elongated arms [(1), (1 ')] have a rough external surface (13) to facilitate manipulation of the clamp, as can be seen in Figures 3 and 4.

Based on this structuring, and as shown in Figures 6, 7 and 8, the device of the invention can be used interchangeably to hygienically pick up the golf ball (5), which will be retained perfectly stable between the conformations [(3), (3 ')], as well as to extract the signaling flag from the corresponding hole (7) through its mast (6), which will be stabilized between the conformations [(4), (4 ')].

According to another of the characteristics of the invention, it has been envisaged that the device is complemented with a sanitizing container, which is represented in Figures 3 to 5, embodied in a body (8) like a glass, with a hinged upper closure cover (9), in which recesses (11) and (5 ') are established formally and dimensionally intended to stably receive the end of the arms elongated [(1), (1 ')] of the clamp, as well as the golf ball (5), respectively.

In this way, optionally, the emptying of the sanitizing container includes a foam [(10), (10 ')] capable of being soaked with a disinfectant product so that by depositing both the clamp itself or the golf ball, complete disinfection is guaranteed. of both elements.

On the other hand, in a variant of the embodiment of the sanitizing container, the recess (5 ') for receiving the golf ball (5) is located in the lower area of its body (8), being accessible by uncoupling the end lower (12) of said body (8).

Finally, figure 8 shows a representation where the use of the clamp of the present invention developed for use in holding a golf ball (5) as well as for holding the mast (6) of a signaling flag is observed. of a hole (7). In this way, the player is avoided direct contact with the elements involved in the game and, therefore, guarantees good practices and hygiene.
