Abstract

The invention concerns a multiple-position tee comprising a support (10) driven into the ground, provided with a housing (14) wherein slides the stem of a tee head, matching locking protuberances being provided on the stem and on the housing periphery designed to co-operate so as to define preferred positioning of the head in the housing; the housing (14) has slots (16) forming teeth (17) with elastic radial deformation. The elasticity of the teeth enables the teeth (17) to be radially spaced apart outwards according to the protuberances and return to press radially inwards when the stem slides in the housing. In a preferred embodiment, the stem comprises circumferential grooves and the peripheral portion of the housing (14) forms a rib (15) oriented radially inwards.

Description

Tee à positions multiples La présente invention concerne un tee de golf à positions multiples. Le modèle français 96 6197, au nom du Demandeur, et le document US 4<B>516</B> 780 font connaître un tee à positions multiples comprenant un support enfichable dans le sol, pourvu d'un logement allongé dans lequel s'engage à coulissement la tige d'une tête de tee, des reliefs de blocage complémentaires étant prévus sur la tige et sur la périphérie du logement pour coopérer en vue de définir des positions préférentielles de la tige dans le logement. Dans le document 96 6197 mentionné plus haut, la tige porte deux ou trois rainures circonférentielles qui coopèrent avec une nervure radialement intérieure du logement pour réaliser lesdits reliefs de blocage. Cependant, il s'avère que, compte tenu des plastiques très rigides (polyamide par exemple) utilisés de préférence pour mouler les deux parties du tee, la manipulation, le coulissement et le blocage précis de la tige dans le logement ne sont pas toujours aisés. The present invention relates to a multi-position golf tee. The French model 96 6197, in the name of the Applicant, and the document US 4 <B> 516 </ B> 780 disclose a multi-position tee comprising a plug-in support in the ground, provided with an elongated housing in which slidably engages the stem of a tee head, complementary locking reliefs being provided on the rod and on the periphery of the housing to cooperate in order to define preferential positions of the rod in the housing. In the document 96 6197 mentioned above, the rod carries two or three circumferential grooves which cooperate with a radially inner rib of the housing to achieve said locking reliefs. However, it turns out that, given the very rigid plastics (polyamide for example) used preferably for molding the two parts of the tee, the manipulation, sliding and precise locking of the rod in the housing are not always easy .

Le but de l'invention est de proposer un tee de la même structure générale que celle précédemment mentionnée, mais qui soit d'un emploi plus facile et souple. The object of the invention is to propose a tee of the same general structure as that mentioned above, but which is of an easier and more flexible use.

L'invention atteint son but grâce à un tee à positions multiples comprenant un support enfichable dans le sol, pourvu d'un logement allongé dans lequel s'engage à coulissement la tige d'une tête de tee, des reliefs de blocage complémentaires étant prévus sur la tige et sur la périphérie du logement pour coopérer en vue de définir des positions préférentielles de la tige dans ' le logement, caractérisé en ce que ladite périphérie du logement sur laquelle sont formés lesdits reliefs présente des fentes séparant ladite périphérie en dents attachées à une base cylindrique et élastiquement déformables radialement. L'élasticité des dents permet aux dents de s'écarter radialement vers l'extérieur et de revenir appuyer radialement vers l'intérieur lors du coulissement de la tige dans le logement. Il est donc plus aisé de faire coulisser la tige dans le logement. Dans une réalisation préférentielle, la tige comporte des rainures circonférentielles et la partie périphérique du logement forme une nervure dirigée radialement vers l'intérieur. Le tee est avantageusement réalisé par moulage par injection d'une matière plastique telle qu'un polyamide, notamment l<B>Il Il</B> e nylon<B>.</B> The invention achieves its goal by means of a multi-position tee comprising a plug-in support in the ground, provided with an elongated housing in which the stem of a tee head is slidably engaged, complementary locking reliefs being provided. on the rod and on the periphery of the housing to cooperate in order to define preferential positions of the rod in the housing, characterized in that said periphery of the housing on which said reliefs are formed has slots separating said periphery in teeth attached to a cylindrical base and elastically deformable radially. The elasticity of the teeth allows the teeth to deviate radially outwards and to return to rest radially inwards when sliding the rod in the housing. It is therefore easier to slide the rod in the housing. In a preferred embodiment, the rod has circumferential grooves and the peripheral portion of the housing forms a rib directed radially inwards. The tee is advantageously made by injection molding of a plastic material such as a polyamide, in particular nylon and nylon. </ B>

L'invention sera mieux comprise grâce à la description suivante, se référant aux dessins annexés sur lesquels - la figure 1 est une vue de côté de la tête de tee, avec sa tige rainurée, - la figure 2 est une vue en coupe longitudinale du support de tee destiné à recevoir la tête de la figure 1. The invention will be better understood from the following description, with reference to the accompanying drawings in which - Figure 1 is a side view of the tee head, with its grooved rod, - Figure 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of the tee holder for receiving the head of Figure 1.

Le tee de l'invention comprend une tête 1 et un support 10. La tête comporte un plateau 2 de pose de balle, muni d'une cavité 3, disposé à un bout d'une tige cylindrique centrale 4 munie de trois rainures annulaires 5. The tee of the invention comprises a head 1 and a support 10. The head comprises a ball-laying plate 2, provided with a cavity 3, disposed at one end of a central cylindrical rod 4 provided with three annular grooves 5 .

Le support 10 comporte une partie allongée pointue 11 enfichable dans le sol qui peut être partiellement creuse pour réduire le poids de plastique moulé.The support 10 has a pointed, elongate, ground-engaging 11 portion that may be partially hollow to reduce the weight of molded plastic.

La partie 11 porte à son extrémité supérieure une partie aérienne composée d'un cylindre central 12 et d'une jupe tronconique 13 destinée à reposer sur le sol. Le cylindre central 12 forme un logement cylindrique 14 destiné à recevoir en tout ou partie la tige 4 de la tête 1. Une portion périphérique du logement 14, près de son extrémité supérieure ouverte, porte une nervure semi-torique 15 destinée à coopérer avec les rainures semi-toriques 5 de la tige 4. Conformément à l'invention, le cylindre 12 est divisé en dents 17 'par des fentes 16 verticales (on n'en a représenté qu'un petit nombre sur la figure 2, mais on peut prévoir avantageusement 6 ou 8 fentes diamétrales). Les dents 17 sont liées à la base du cylindre 12. Un relief de renforcement semi-torique 18 peut être prévu sur la face externe des dents 17. Part 11 carries at its upper end an aerial part composed of a central cylinder 12 and a frustoconical skirt 13 intended to rest on the ground. The central cylinder 12 forms a cylindrical housing 14 intended to receive all or part of the rod 4 of the head 1. A peripheral portion of the housing 14, near its open upper end, carries a semi-toric rib 15 intended to cooperate with the In accordance with the invention, the cylinder 12 is divided into teeth 17 'by vertical slots 16 (only a small number of them have been shown in FIG. advantageously provide 6 or 8 diametrical slots). The teeth 17 are connected to the base of the cylinder 12. A semi-toric reinforcement relief 18 may be provided on the outer face of the teeth 17.
