[58] First of all, as shown in Figures 1 to 3, and Figures 7 to 11, the automatic golf ball supply device according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention is directed to automatically supplying a golf ball I at a portion where a user hits the golf ball 1 with a golf club and comprises a frame 10, an ascending and descending part 13, a golf ball transfer roller 20, a golf ball guide slope plate I 7a, and a protection member Ii.
[59] Here, the frame 10 has a golf ball discharge part ba at its upper side, in particular as shown in Figure 1, it is preferred that the golf ball discharge part IOa of the frame 10 is formed in a cylindrical or polygonal shape so that part or all portions of the golf ball 1 can move over the frame 10 and can be io mounted atop the tee member 12.
[60] In addition, the ascending and descending part 13 has a tee member 12 on the top of which is mounted the golf ball 1, and the ascending and descending part 13 is installed to be freely ascend and descend in the direction of the discharge part along the guide 14 installed at the frame and ascends and is descends by means of the motor 16.
[61] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the ascending and descending part 13 ascends and descends by means of a rotation rod 15 one end of which rotates by means of the motor 16, and the other end of which is loosely caught by the side rail 1 3a of the ascending and descending part 13.
[62] When the motor 16 rotates at a normal speed like the dotted line of Figure 2, the rotation rod 15 pushes up the ascending and descending part 13, so the golf baIl 1 can be supplied to at the height where the user can best hit the golf bafi 1 mounted atop the tee member 12.
[63] As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the golf ball transfer roller 20, which is s a kind of the golf ball transfer device 200, is directed to forcibly transferring the golf ball 1 toward the direction of the tee member 12 as its outer surface rotates and comes into contact with the golf ball 1 so that the golf ball 12 in the golf ball standby compartment 17 is pushed and mounted atop the tee member 12 of the ascending and descending part 13. The golf ball transfer roller 20 is in characterized in that it rotates and snaps the golf ball 1 and moves along the spacing guide 24 for the purpose of obtaining an elastic spacing movement of the rotary shaft 20a, and it is connected with the movable motor 21 which is fixed at the movable frames 22 and 23 elastically fixed at the frame 10 by means of the elastic spring 25.
[64] As shown in Figure 2, the golf ball transfer roller 20 might be formed of a rotary shaft 20a which is not eccentric, and as shown in Figure 15 it might be formed of an eccentric rotary shaft 20a the rotary shaft of which is eccentric to the rotary shaft of the motor 16 for the purpose of ensuring the eccentric movements of the rotary shaft while it snaps the golf ball 1 and rotates.
[65] As shown in Figure 2, the golf ball transfer roller 20 snaps the golf ball 1 and rotates, and relatively rides over the golf bafl I by means of the rotary shaft 20a. The movable motor 21 installed at the movable frames 22 and 23 is constituted to move within a certain range elasticafly fixed by the elastic spring in order for the above-mentioned spacing movement to be dynamically s implemented.
[66] Therefore, when the golf ball 1 is forcibly transferred, the golf ball transfer roller 20 directly connected with the movable motor 21 rotates and comes into reliable contact with the golf ball I, so it can pushes the golf ball 1 toward the direction of the tee member 12 without using a driving force transfer in device such as a complicated belt, a gear or something, thus maximizing the forced transfer force.
[67] In addition, the golf ball guide slope plate 1 7a of the present invention is installed in the golf ball standby compartment use that the golf ball 1 in the golf ball standby compartment 17 can be guided to a position higher i than the discharge part iDa of the frame 10, as a result of which the height (H) of the frame 10 can be reduced.
[68] The protection member 11 serves to protect the golf ball 1 positioned higher than the discharge part iDa and has an inner diameter surface ha corresponding to the discharge part 1 oa.
[69] Here, as mentioned above, it is preferred that the golf ball discharge part Wa of the frame 10 is formed in whole in a cylindrical shape or a polygonal shape so that part or all the portions of the golf ball 1 can move up above the frame 10 and can mount atop the tee member 12.
[70] The golf ball supply procedure of the automatic golf ball supply s device according to the present invention will be described. When the golf ball transfer roller 20 rates and comes into contact with the golf ball 1 in the golf ball standby compartment 17 and pushes the same, the golf ball 1 moves upward along the golf all guide slope plate I 7a at the height higher than that of the frame and is pushed by the following golf ball I and is guided by the protection io member 11 and finally is mounted atop the tee member 12 which remains descended.
[71] When the mounting of the golf ball 1 is detected by a golf ball detection sensor (not shown) installed at the tee member 12, the motor 16 rotates in the normal direction as indicated by the dotted line of Figure 2, and i the rotation rod 15 pushes upward the ascending and descending part 13, thus supplying the golf ball at the height where the user can best hit the golf ball 1 mounted atop the tee member 12.
[72] Here, in the present invention, there is further provided a control part (not shown) which is characterized in that in the event that the golf ball 1 is forcibly transferred toward the tee member 12, a normal rotation signal is applied to the motor 21 rotating the golf bafl transfer roller 20, and when the golf ball 1 is mounted atop the tee member 12, a reverse rotation signal is applied to the motor 21 so that the remaining standby golf balls 1 do not interfere with the user's tee shot, whereby it is possible to prevent the golf ball 1 from exposing to s the outside of the protection member Ii.
[73] It is preferred that the protection member Ii is made of an elastic material such as rubber, silicon, a resin material or something. As shown in Figure 4, a protection cap 110 can be adapted, which is supported by the guide 113 and has a lid ill protecting the golf ball 1.

[77] As shown in Figure 14, there might be provided a protection cap 11 G which is integral with the lid 112.
[78] At each engaging piece 114 of Figure 12 is formed an engaging surface 115 at its side surface, thus maintaining its shape. It is preferably made of an elastic material such as rubber, resin, sificon or something, so it can be bent by the golf ball 1 if necessary.
[79] As shown in Figure 6, ii can be changed or modified in various forms without escaping from the scope of the technical concept of the present invention, for example, there might be provided a protection cap ilK having a protection hair 112 arranged in a horizontal direction.
[80] As shown in Figures 16 to 19, as the protection member ii of the present invention, a protection cap ii R formed, in whole, in a cylindrical shape io might be adapted.
[81] The protection cap hR has an inner diameter surface ha corresponding to the discharge part Wa. At the inner diameter surface ha is installed a golf ball input prevention protrusion 124 for preventing an error operation which might occur as the golf ball 1 is externally inputted into the is interior of the frame 10 via the inner diameter surface ha.
[82] The golf ball input prevention protrusion 124 is made of an elastic material soft enough to easily bend when the golf ball 1 is discharged via the inner diameter surface ha and not to easily bend when the golf ball 1 is externally inputted into the interior, and the golf ball input prevention protrusion 124 is protruded with an upward slope.
[83] In addition, in the interior of the protection cap ii R might be installed a guide 123 which guides the golf balI 1 in the direction of the tee member 12.
[84] At the protection cap 11 R is formed a thread hole 11 Rb in such a way to be detachable from the frame 10 by means of a fixture such as a screw, s a bolt or something, the construction of which makes it possible to freely exchange the worn or damaged protection cap 11 Fl.
