[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, golf has been widely used for health maintenance and socializing, and golf putters and the like have been actively practiced in golf courses and gardens as the heat of golf rises. Therefore, as a method to improve the putter technology if there is only a little space at home, etc., all golf balls can be hit with a putter by placing a plurality of golf balls, for example, about 3 of the ranges that can be hit with a putter on a straight line. It is considered that the putter technology is an improvement process if it is disturbed without moving in parallel to the target direction, and the putter technology is considerably improved if it advances straight in parallel to the target direction.
[0003]
However, since the golf ball is spherical, it easily rolls. For this reason, since it is very difficult to arrange a plurality of pieces on a straight line, if a golf ball is provided with a permanent magnet, it is considered that a plurality of pieces can be arranged on a straight line in a short time by attracting the golf ball. In view of this, it is considered that a rubber layer is formed on a golf ball and the rubber layer is mixed with a magnetic iron powder (see Patent Document 1).

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a front view of a golf ball 10 of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a partial cross-sectional view of the golf ball 10 of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a schematic view of the golf ball 10.
[0014]
Reference numeral 10 denotes a commercially available golf ball 10 which is composed of a ball body 11 and a plurality of permanent magnets 16. Reference numeral 12 denotes a jacket made of a polymer resin material or gutta-patch rubber, 13 is a reinforcing member, and 14 is a filler that is highly compressed at the center of the ball body 11 and has high resilience. Reference numeral 15 denotes a dimple for reducing the air resistance and improving the lift force by disturbing the flow of the surrounding air during the flight of the golf ball 10.
[0015]
The permanent magnet 16 is made of, for example, neodymium having a stronger magnetic force than a conventionally known ferrite magnet, and is formed in a cylindrical shape having a diameter of about 5 mm and a length of about 5 mm. Both end surfaces of the cylindrical permanent magnet 16 are configured as flat surfaces having almost no unevenness. A pair of permanent magnets 16 made of neodymium are embedded in the ball body 11. Both permanent magnets 16, 16 are provided at both ends on a straight line passing through the center of the ball body 11, and are fixed by press-fitting or rubber adhesive. The surface of the outer shell 12 of the ball 10 is exposed substantially flush. Although the permanent magnets 16 are embedded up to 13 in the drawing, the length of the permanent magnets 16 may be shortened and fixed only to the jacket 12. Further, the permanent magnet 16 may be configured such that the center side of the ball body 11 is slightly thicker than the exposed side so that the permanent magnet 16 cannot be removed from the golf ball 10.
[0016]
The exposed magnetic poles of the pair of permanent magnets 16 and 16 embedded in the ball body 11 have different polarities. In this case, for example, the exposed side of one permanent magnet 16 (right side in the figure) is an N pole, and the exposed side of the other permanent magnet 16 (left side in the figure) is an S pole (FIG. 3). The exposed side of one permanent magnet 16 (right side in the figure) may be the S pole, and the exposed side of the other permanent magnet 16 (left side in the figure) may be the N pole.
[0017]
The golf ball 10 is provided with a mark 20 indicating the polarity of either the S pole or the N pole of the permanent magnet 16 exposed on the surface of the ball body 11 of the embedded permanent magnet 16 (for example, the N pole side in the embodiment). (FIG. 4). The mark 20 has a part of the surface of the outer cover 12 colored in a color different from that of the outer cover 12, or the outer cover 12 material itself. Reference numeral 20 </ b> A denotes a mark portion as a portion where the mark 20 of the golf ball 10 is not provided.
[0018]
That is, the mark 20 is provided on about half of the ball body 11 on the side of at least one permanent magnet 16 (right side in FIG. 4). In this case, the mark 20 is not limited to about half of the ball body 11 and may be provided on the surface of the permanent magnet 16 as long as the polarity of the permanent magnet 16 embedded in the ball body 11 can be identified. It can be larger and smaller than half of the ball body 11. Further, a mark having a color different from that of the mark 20 may be provided on the mark portion 20A.
[0019]
Then, two golf balls 10 in which a pair of permanent magnets 16, 16 are embedded are prepared, and the mark 20 (N pole of the permanent magnet 16) provided on one golf ball 10 and the other golf ball 10 are provided. When the mark portion 20A (the S pole of the permanent magnet 16) without the mark 20 is approached, the N-pole permanent magnet 16 and the S-pole permanent magnet 16 that are substantially flush with the surface of the outer cover 12 are attracted. In close contact. A plurality (three in the embodiment) of these are adsorbed (FIGS. 5 and 6). That is, since the end surfaces of the permanent magnets 16 are flat, the plurality of golf balls 10 can be easily arranged on a straight line in a short time. If the permanent magnet 16 protrudes from the surface of the outer cover 12, the golf ball 10 rotates straight and does not advance, so that the permanent magnet 16 is exposed on the surface of the outer cover 12 substantially flush.
[0020]
Since the permanent magnets 16 provided on the plurality of attracted ball bodies 11 are located at locations where the golf balls 10 are in contact with each other, the putter is made of a material that can attract the permanent magnets 16 such as iron. Even in this case, there is no inconvenience that the golf ball 10 is attracted to the putter. Specifically, the place where the putter hits is located in a direction orthogonal to the straight line connecting the permanent magnets 16 and 16, so the distance between the permanent magnet 16 and the putter becomes longer and the magnetic force becomes weaker. Putter practice can be suitably performed without the influence of the permanent magnet 16 being attracted to the putter.
[0021]
As described above, a pair of permanent magnets 16 and 16 are provided so as to be substantially flushly exposed and embedded in the surface of the ball main body 11. The permanent magnets 16 and 16 are provided at both ends on a straight line passing through the center of the ball main body 11, and the exposed sides of the permanent magnets 16 and 16 have different polarities. This permanent magnet 16 and the other permanent magnet 16 provided on the other ball body 11 can be easily adsorbed. As a result, a plurality of golf balls 10 can be arranged on a straight line very easily and in a short time.
[0022]
In particular, since a pair of permanent magnets 16 and 16 are provided on a straight line passing through the center of the ball body 11 and a plurality of golf balls 10 can be arranged on a straight line, whether the plurality of golf balls 10 proceed in a substantially straight line in parallel. It becomes possible to perform putter practice of whether or not it will turn. Further, since the pair of permanent magnets 16 and 16 are provided on the ball main body 11, the trouble of arranging the golf balls 10 on a straight line is eliminated, and a plurality of golf balls 10 can be arranged in an extremely short time.
[0023]
Further, since the mark 20 indicating the polarity of the permanent magnet 16 is provided on the surface of the ball body 11 on at least one permanent magnet 16 side, the permanent magnet 16 (N pole) on the mark 20 side and the other golf ball 10. The permanent magnet 16 (S pole) on the opposite side to the mark 20 can be adsorbed. Further, if the mark 20 is formed on the S pole side of the other permanent magnet 16, the permanent magnet 16 (S pole) on the mark 20 side and one permanent magnet 16 on the opposite side of the mark 20 provided on the other golf ball 10. (N pole) can be adsorbed. Thereby, it becomes possible to arrange a plurality of golf balls 10 on a straight line simply and very easily.
[0024]
Further, since the exposed surfaces of the permanent magnet 16 and the attracting member 22 are flat, the attracting force of the permanent magnets 16 attracting each other can be maximized. As a result, the golf ball 10 and the golf ball 10 can be strongly adsorbed even if a smaller permanent magnet 16 is used, so that the plurality of golf balls 10 can be straightened easily by the magnetic force of the permanent magnet 16. Can be lined up.
[0025]
Next, FIG. 7 shows a golf ball 10 according to another embodiment of the present invention. In this case, the attracting member 22 is provided instead of one (right side in the figure) of the permanent magnet 16 provided on the golf ball 10 of FIG. The attracting member 22 is made of an iron material that has no magnetic force and can be attracted to the permanent magnet 16. The attracting member 22 is formed in a shape substantially equivalent to the permanent magnet 16. That is, the golf ball 10 is exposed on the surface of the ball body 11 to a substantially surface and embedded with a permanent magnet 16, and is exposed on the surface opposite to the surface on which the permanent magnet 16 is provided to provide an attracting member 22. 16 and the adsorbing member 22 are provided on a straight line passing through the center of the ball body 11. Other golf balls 10 are configured in the same manner as described above.
[0026]
Since the permanent magnet 16 provided on the ball body 11 and the attracting member 22 provided on the other ball body 11 can be attracted in this way, a plurality of golf balls 10 can be arranged on a straight line very easily. Is possible. Thereby, the same effect as described above can be obtained.
[0027]
In the embodiment, a three-layer ball is used for the ball body 11, but the golf ball 10 is not limited to the three-layer, and the permanent magnet 16 (including the attracting member 22) is attached to a two-layer or one-layer golf ball. However, the present invention is effective.
