[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a golf shoe provided with a level gauge.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when hitting a golf ball on a green, particularly when putting, it is general to visually determine the inclination of the green surface. However, although a great deal of experience is required to visually determine the inclined state of the green surface, even a person with abundant experience may not be able to read the delicate inclined state of the green surface. In particular, it is very difficult for a beginner to visually judge the inclined state of the green surface, and at present, most people play with almost no understanding of the inclined state.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and provides a golf shoe with a level gauge that can easily determine not only the inclination of the green surface but also the inclination at each hit position. It is intended to do so.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve this problem, the present invention provides a golf shoe with a level which is located on the front upper side of the upper of the golf shoe via a metal fitting for attaching a level gauge to the heel of the golf shoe. The gauge was mounted in a horizontal state, and the level gauge was filled so that bubbles were formed in the space formed by the main body, the lid closing the upper end of the main body, and the main body and the lid. And a liquid. Further, according to the present invention, an aligning ball seat is attached to a bracket provided on a bracket for attaching a level gauge, and the aligning ball is mounted on a downwardly concave spherical surface formed on the upper surface of the aligning ball seat. An outer surface of a pin which is covered with a cover so as to cover the aligning sphere, is screwed to the aligning sphere seat, and projects downward from a level gauge into a female screw hole formed in the aligning sphere. The screw thread is screwed into the male thread portion formed in the step (1), the level gauge is confirmed to have a levelness, and the lid is tightened to fix the level gauge. Further, the present invention is characterized in that the liquid has a specific gravity of 0.9 or less.

[0005] With this configuration, it is possible to provide a golf shoe with a level gauge that can easily determine the inclined state at each hitting position as well as the inclined state of the green surface by the movement of bubbles. In particular, by attaching the level gauge to the heel of the golf shoe via the bracket and bracket for attaching the level gauge, the inclination of the hitting position can be more accurately compared to the case where the level gauge is attached to another place of the golf shoe. Can be communicated to the level gauge.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 to 6,
Reference numeral 1 denotes a golf shoe. An end of a metal fitting 3 for attaching a level gauge is attached to a heel 2 of the golf shoe 1 with a screw 4. The metal bracket 3 for attaching the level gauge is formed by bending a band-shaped metal plate into a U-shape.
A metal fitting 3 bent into a U-shape with both ends applied to both sides of the heel 2 faces the front of the golf shoe 1 and is positioned above and in front of the upper 5 of the golf shoe 1. It is attached to the heel 2 by screws 4. A level gauge 6 is attached to the center of the U-shaped metal fitting 3. This level gauge 6
More specifically, a metal bracket 7 for attaching the level gauge 6 is attached to the center of the metal fitting 3 for attaching the level gauge so as to protrude forward. The aligning ball seat 8 is received, the male screw portion 9 projecting below the aligning ball seat 8 is inserted into the hole 10 of the bracket 7, and the nut 11 is screwed into the male screw portion 9 projecting downward from the hole 10. An aligning ball seat 8 is attached for tightening. A spherical surface 12 which is recessed downward is formed on the upper surface of the aligning ball seat 8, and an aligning ball 13 is mounted on the spherical surface 12, and a cover 14 is placed on the spherical surface 12 so as to cover the aligning ball 13. Lid 1
The female screw portion 15 formed on the inner surface of the aligning ball seat 8
And a male screw 19 formed on the outer surface of a pin 18 projecting below the level gauge 6 into a female screw hole 17 formed in the centering ball 13. After confirming that the level gauge 6 has obtained the levelness, the cover 14 is tightened to fix the level gauge 6.

The level gauge 6 has a circular shape in plan view, a main body 20 having a substantially vertical cross-sectional shape, a circular shape in order to close the upper end of the main body 20, and a substantially vertical cross-sectional shape. Lid 21, a liquid 22 filled in a space formed by the main body 20 and the lid 21 by fitting the lid 21 inside the main body 20, And the pin 18 protruding downward from the center. The main body 20 is made of a metal such as brass or a synthetic resin, and is provided with the pins 18 integrally. The lid 21 fitted inside the main body 20 is made of a transparent synthetic resin such as vinyl chloride. Thus, it is fixed to the main body 20 with an adhesive. And the lid 21
Has a flat surface, and an inner surface is formed in a concave shape curved in an arc shape. Further, a cross reference line 23 passing through the center of the lid 21 is drawn on the flat surface of the lid 21. Further, the liquid 22 filled in the space formed by the main body 20 and the lid 21 is preferably a liquid having a specific gravity of 0.9 or less, and the liquid 22 having a specific gravity of 0.9 or less is, for example, amyl. Various liquids such as alcohols such as alcohol, butyl alcohol, methyl alcohol, and ethyl alcohol, and petroleum oils such as kerosene, tert-aldehyde, and dibutyl ketone are used. Is filled so that a single bubble 24 is formed in the space formed by the above. If the specific gravity of the liquid 22 exceeds 0.9, for example, if the liquid 22 is water (specific gravity 1.0), the bubbles 2 in the liquid 22 having a high specific gravity
4, the specific gravity of the liquid 22 is preferably 0.9 or less, since the movement of the liquid 22 becomes dull and has a function as a level gauge, but the bubble 24 cannot move instantaneously and is impractical.

When the level gauge 6 having the above-described structure confirms that the levelness is obtained, the cover 14 is tightened by fixing the metal fittings 3 for attaching the level gauge to the heel 2 of the golf shoe 1. This is because the levelness of the level gauge 6 cannot be obtained simply by attaching the level gauge 6 via the bracket 7. By wearing and playing the golf shoe 1 with the level gauge 6 having the above-described configuration, the level gauge 6 is positioned at the foot, and by looking at the position of the bubble 24 of the level gauge 6, the position of the foot to be hit can be determined. You can know if it is inclined. For example, when the player is right-handed, when the bubble 24 is located at the center of the level gauge 6, that is, at the intersection of the cross reference line 23, as shown in FIG. Is not inclined, and when the bubble 24 is located on the reference line 23 in front of the intersection of the reference line 23 as shown in FIG. It can be confirmed that the position of the foot to be hit is inclined forward and upward.
As shown in (c), when the bubble 24 is located on the reference line 23 behind the intersection of the reference line 23, the position of the foot to be hit is inclined downward and forward. As shown in FIG. 6 (d), the bubble 24 is positioned on the right side of the intersection of the reference line 23 with the reference line 2.
3, it can be confirmed that the position of the foot to be hit is inclined upward and to the right, and as shown in FIG. When it is located on the reference line 23 on the left side of the intersection, it can be confirmed that the position of the foot to be hit is inclined upward to the left. The above is the case of the single tilt. Next, the composite tilt will be described. FIG.
As shown in (f), when the bubble 24 is located between the reference line 23 on the front side of the intersection of the reference line 23 and the reference line 23 on the right side, the position of the foot to be hit is diagonally right. You can see that it is inclined forward and upward,
Further, as shown in FIG.
When it is located between the reference line 23 on the front side and the reference line 23 on the left side of the intersection, it can be confirmed that the position of the foot to be hit is inclined diagonally forward and left. Also, as shown in FIG. 6 (h), when the bubble 24 is located between the reference line 23 on the rear side of the intersection of the reference line 23 and the reference line 23 on the right side, the step to hit the ball It can be confirmed that the position is inclined diagonally forward and downward to the left. Further, as shown in FIG. 6 (i), the bubble 24 is located on the left side of the reference line 23 behind the intersection of the reference line 23. It can be confirmed that the position of the foot to be hit is inclined obliquely right forward and downward when it is located between the reference line 23 and the reference line 23.

The level gauge 6 described above has a cross reference line 23 passing through the center of the lid 21 on the flat surface of the lid 21.
However, the position of the bubble 24 can be confirmed without providing the reference line 23, and the function as the level gauge can be sufficiently performed. Also, the golf shoe 1 with the level gauge 6 is always worn while playing, so that the inclination of each hitting position from tee shot to putting can be read. The golf shoe with the level gauge 6 according to the present embodiment may be worn by a player on both feet or one foot.
