Abstract

1,172,449. Detection of golf balls. A. C. WICKMAN. 24 July, 1968 [26 July, 1967; 8 June, 1968], Nos. 34223/67 and 27347/68. Headings A6D. [Also in Division H4] The Specification describes various systems for discovering lost golf balls, the golf balls being constructed to radiate or reflect detectable radiation. The normal golf ball comprises a molded plastic casing 11, Fig. 1, a wound rubber filament middle portion 12, an inner rubber shell 13 and a liquid composition core 14. A radio active substance 15, strong enough to be detected for some distance but not too strong to handle may be mixed with the liquid core 14, Fig. 1; with the outer casing 11, Fig. 2 or in a paint 25, Fig. 3 on the outside surface of the ball. The radiation is thus omnidirectional and may be detected by a Geiger counter 22 mounted on the end of a golf bag trolley. The Geiger counter is directional, and the trolley &c. is thus orientated for maximum received signal. The level of received signal is displayed on a meter 23 which may be calibrated in range. Earphones may alternatively be used. The golf ball may be provided with a radio wave reflective layer at any depth, providing the layers external thereto are transparent to radio waves, and the golf ball may be detected by a radio direction finder 29, Fig. 7, used in the same manner as the Geiger counter of Fig. 5, in conjunction with a radio transmitter 27. The golf ball may be provided with a miniature radio transmitter 26 Fig. 4 which is detected by direction finder 29.
