Abstract

Apparatus for golf training consisting of two elements: 1. A convex mirror 2 enabling the golfer to monitor his movement. 2. A flexible mat 1 in the form of a bridge which makes it possible to have a sensation identical to that which the golfer has when playing on turf.

Description

La présente invention concerne un appareil destiné à l'entrâinement au golf. The present invention relates to an apparatus intended for golf training.

Cet appareil est constitué de deux parties: un miroir convexe permettant au golfeur de contrôler son mouvement, et un tapis souple qui permet au golfeur d'avoir une sensation identique à celle qu'il a en jouant sur du gazon. This device consists of two parts: a convex mirror allowing the golfer to control his movement, and a flexible mat that allows the golfer to have a feeling identical to that which he has when playing on grass.

I1 existe de'jà des miroirs convexes pour l'entrainement au golf. L'inconvénient de ces articles est qu'ils obligent à réaliser,une manipulation pour changer l'inclinaison du miroir en fonction des longueurs différentes des clubs de golf,pour éviter les déformations de l'image. En utilisant un miroir en forme de demisphère, l'image du golfeur se positionne automatiquement sur une partie de la demi-sphère. En utilisant des clubs courts, le golfeur sera près du miroir et son image sera placée en haut de la demi-sphère. En utilisant des clubs longs, le golfeur sera loin du miroir et l'image sera en bas de la demi-sphère. Nous avons choisi une forme demi-sphérique pour faciliter la fixation du miroir sur le tapis, mais il est possible d'obtenir le même résultat en utilisant un miroir en forme de quart de sphère. There are already convex mirrors for golf training. The disadvantage of these articles is that they make it necessary to carry out a manipulation to change the inclination of the mirror according to the different lengths of the golf clubs, to avoid distortions of the image. By using a mirror in the shape of a hemisphere, the image of the golfer is automatically positioned on a part of the hemisphere. Using short clubs, the golfer will be near the mirror and his image will be placed at the top of the hemisphere. By using long clubs, the golfer will be far from the mirror and the image will be at the bottom of the hemisphere. We have chosen a semi-spherical shape to facilitate the fixing of the mirror on the carpet, but it is possible to obtain the same result by using a mirror in the shape of a quarter of a sphere.

La deuxième partie est constituée par un tapis souple en forme de pont, qui est maintenu dans sa forme initiale par un ou plusirs tendeurs en fil de caoutchouc, bracelets en caoutchouc ou en ressort métallique. La balle est placée sur un tapis lisse ou équipé de poils. The second part consists of a flexible mat in the form of a bridge, which is held in its initial form by one or more tensioners made of rubber thread, rubber bracelets or metal spring. The ball is placed on a smooth mat or fitted with bristles.

Pour éviter la détérioration rapide de la surface du tapis, le tapis est équipé de rails de protection en sangles ou en cordes souples et très lisses. Pendant la rencontre de la canne de golf avec les rails de protection, la partie supérieure du pont en caoutchouc du tapis s'enfonce facilement car elle ne rencontre que de l'air. Les tapis actuels sont très rigides, et ils occasionnent des lésions très graves aux golfeurs : tendinite, fèlures aux poignets et aux coudes etc... Ce nouveau tapis est construit uniquement avec des matériaux souples. To avoid rapid deterioration of the surface of the carpet, the carpet is fitted with protective rails made of straps or flexible and very smooth ropes. When the golf club meets the protective rails, the upper part of the rubber deck of the mat easily sinks in because it only encounters air. The current mats are very rigid, and they cause very serious injuries to golfers: tendonitis, wrist and elbow cracks, etc. This new mat is built only with flexible materials.

Figure I représente une vue en coupe de l'ensemble, le socle I formant tapis, sert de base au miroir 2 fixé par une tige 3, la section de sphère 6 représente la position de l'image lorsque le golfeur utilise des clubs courts, j la section de sphère 7 représente la position de l'image lorsque le golfeur est loin du miroir, et qu'il utilise des clubs longs. Le socle-tapis I a une surface en forme de pont à l'endroit ou est placée la balle 4, cette forme de pont du tapis socle est maintenue dans sa forme initiale par des tendeurs en caoutchouc 8. Ces tendeurs sont fixés sur le tapis par des trous 9. La balle 4 est placé sur des sangles souples et lisses 5. La surface supérieure du pont est lisse ou équipée de poils.FIG. I represents a sectional view of the assembly, the base I forming a mat, serves as the basis for the mirror 2 fixed by a rod 3, the sphere section 6 represents the position of the image when the golfer uses short clubs, j the sphere section 7 represents the position of the image when the golfer is far from the mirror, and when he uses long clubs. The base-carpet I has a bridge-shaped surface at the place where the ball 4 is placed, this form of bridge of the base carpet is maintained in its initial form by rubber tensioners 8. These tensioners are fixed on the carpet by holes 9. The ball 4 is placed on flexible and smooth straps 5. The upper surface of the bridge is smooth or fitted with bristles.

Figure 2 représente une vue en perspective du recto du tapis-socle formant pont. Les rails de protection 5 sont fixés sur le tapis par collage, par boutons pression ou par tout autre système. Le ou les tendeurs 8 sont fixés sur le socle par des trous permettant un laçage très facile.Figure 2 shows a perspective view of the front of the base carpet forming a bridge. The protective rails 5 are fixed to the mat by gluing, by press studs or by any other system. The tensioner (s) 8 are fixed to the base by holes allowing very easy lacing.

Figure 3 représente une vue en perspective du verso du tapis-socle I. Le ou les tendeurs 8 sont passés dans les trous 9 pour permettre un laçage facile et une tension qui peut varier. La forme de laçage n'est pas limitative.Figure 3 shows a perspective view of the back of the base mat I. The tensioner (s) 8 are passed through the holes 9 to allow easy lacing and a tension which can vary. The form of lacing is not limiting.

A ces deux extrémités, le ou les tendeurs 8 sont immobilisés par des noeuds ou des clips. At these two ends, the tensioner (s) 8 are immobilized by knots or clips.
