Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide the height of a golf tee and a scattering preventive tool wherein the golf tee is inserted into the ground surface after inserting the tee into a cylindrical body with the disk, thereby setting the height of desired teeing-up by the position of the disk and preventing the scattering and loss of the tee by a hit ball. <P>SOLUTION: This golf tee scattering preventive tool is characterized in that the tapering-off cylindrical body is integrally placed in a central part of the disk; the golf tee is inserted by setting a position of the disk and the cylindrical body so as to become the height of teeing-up desired in advance; its height is reproduced after inserting the tee into the ground surface up to a disk grounding position; and when hitting the ball, the jumped up and down tee falls by stalling by wind pressure received to a disk surface, to prevent scattering to an unspecified long distance. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI

Description

  The present invention relates to a golf tee scattering preventer that sets the height of a golf ball placed on the ground and suppresses the tee from being scattered at the time of hitting.

  Conventionally, the method for determining the height of the tee-up of a golf ball is estimated sensuously with the fingertip inserted under the neck of the tee, or it is used as a guide for grounding using tees with different steps or lengths, or The height was determined along the face of the golf club. In addition, as a golf tee scattering prevention device, a part of the golf tee is tied and tied with another tee of the same type, both of which are embedded in the ground, and even if one of the tees is scattered by a hit ball, it remains on the other tee. There were anti-scattering tools. In addition, there were ones that were given a hinge function in the middle part of the tee support, made of a rubbery flexible material and bent, and others aimed to prevent scattering by using a bowl-shaped lightweight ball table. .

Therefore, there are the following problems.
(A) Although the method for determining the set height of the tee with a fingertip or a visual sensation is simple, it is not constant, and is inaccurate due to variations in height each time. In addition, the stepped tee was difficult to determine the depth of insertion, and basically had to rely on the sensation of the fingertips.
(B) The tee with a string to prevent splashing must insert two tees into the ground for each tee shot, and there is a risk that the string will fly around in the air each time a ball is hit. I could give it. Also, if two were scattered at the same time, they could be lost.
(C) According to the rules of golf competition, it is stipulated that those that may suggest the direction of the ball or improve the location of the ball during tee shots should not be used when hitting. This method, which can handle the string, could violate the golf rules, and there was doubt about the use of the tie with the string.
(D) Soft and flexible tees are difficult to insert into the ground unless they are very soft, and are unstable and uncomfortable because they are soft and difficult to maintain upright. Also, the tee with its head extending / contracting or bending is not stable in insertion, and when hitting a ball that rubs against the ground, it may scatter over a dozen meters due to the repulsive force.

  An anti-scattering device for golf tees comprising a cylinder formed so that a golf tee can be press-fitted from an upper opening, and a support plate formed on the periphery of the lower opening of the cylinder so that the cylinder can stand independently. .

  The height of the ball to be teeed up is an important theme for golf players, but it is a great advantage that the ball height can always be set stably only by inserting until the disc attached to the tee contacts the ground. That is, since the distance between the disc and the upper end of the tee is synonymous with the height of the ball, the cylinder may be cut to the required length using the scale on the outer circumference as a guide and inserted to the neck under the tee. In the case of a short cylinder, the height of the ball may be set by moving the position of the disk to a desired position on the tee. When a golf ball is hit using this tee, the tee tries to jump up into the air once, but since a large wind pressure is momentarily applied to the surface of the disc attached to the tee, the force of scattering to the distance is resistant. Since the tee is pushed down and immediately falls to the immediate ground, it can be prevented that the tee is scattered and lost in an unspecified direction. Therefore, it is not necessary to search for the whereabouts of the scattered tees each time a ball is hit, and it can be easily picked up within the immediate range of the batter, so that the entire golf play can proceed smoothly. Even if an expensive special tee is used as in recent times, time is not taken for searching.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below.
(A) Push the tee (4) to a predetermined depth into the tapered tube (2) at the center of a soft or semi-rigid thin rubber or plastic disc (1). Next, place the golf ball (6) on the tee (4) and hold it with your palm and insert it into the ground. The insertion depth is based on when the bottom of the disc (1) contacts the ground (5). finish.
(B) To correctly set the height from the ground (5) to the golf ball (6), when the cylinder (2) is fully inserted to the neck of the tee (4), the desired ball height Cut and adjust the length of the cylinder (2) so that The outer circumference of the cylinder (2) is engraved with a scale (3) that serves as a guide for cutting. Of course, the cylinder (2) may be of a type in which it is extremely short and the position of insertion is freely selected and moved. In any case, since the distance between the golf ball and the ground (5) is confirmed when the disc (1) contacts the ground (5), the height of the ball can be easily reproduced. There are various materials, thicknesses and lengths of golf tees (4), but the material of the cylinder (2) has elasticity, elasticity and durability so that it can be flexibly adapted to any of them. Shall have.
(C) Although the tee (4) tries to fall off the cylinder (2) due to the impact when hit with a ball, the cylinder (2) is stretchable and is press-fitted into its inner wall and fixed tightly. -(4) is hard to fall off. The material of the disc (1) and the cylinder (2) is made of soft and thin rubber or plastic, so even if it is impacted by a hit ball, it will not affect the other. And safe. The diameter of the disc (1) is preferably a size that can sufficiently confirm the grounding, and does not give a visual effect or a sense of incongruity to the player. For example, a size and thickness of about 500 yen coins are appropriate.
(F) The colors of the disc (1) and the cylinder (2) are white, red, yellow, pink, etc. in order to make it easy to distinguish between the ground and lawn, and the shape is also sticking to the disc. Absent. In addition, a name and a pattern can be put on the disk surface. Of course, the size and thickness of the disc and the cylindrical part can be set freely.
The present invention is configured as described above. When this is used, the tee (4) is inserted from the tip of the cylindrical body (2) to a desired depth, and the golf ball (6) is placed on the top of the tee (4). Put the tip of the tee (4) into the ground (5) by holding the fingertip and palm together. The desired insertion depth into the ground (5) is completed when the disk (2) contacts the ground (5), but conversely, the position of the disk (1) may be adjusted accordingly. After that, when the ball is hit, the tee (4) bounced at high speed tries to jump, but at that moment the wind pressure is applied to the surface of the disk (1) and it quickly stalls. Since it falls within the range, it can be easily picked up. Of course, if the ball is hit without touching the tee, it remains in the original position where the tee was inserted. Thus, the setting of the golf tee height and the prevention of scattering are simultaneously achieved by the present invention.

  As shown in FIG. 3, a bowl-shaped conical plate (7) may be used instead of the disc (1). In this case, the mounting method of the tee (4) is the same as that of the cylindrical body (2) with a disk, but it is somewhat disturbing when the tee (4) is inserted into the ground, and the effect of preventing scattering after hitting the ball. Are the same. In addition, the cylindrical body can be not only a cylindrical shape but also a rectangular tube shape or a pedestal shape.
