Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

  The present invention is an off-the-shelf golf putter practice mat manufactured with a simple single-surface artificial turf or the like, and can easily and quickly set the form of undulation on the golf course green on the artificial turf surface. In general, existing golf putter practice mats on the market have a simple artificial turf surface, and the artificial turf surface where the ball is first set is almost the same height as the floor surface. In many cases, an inclination angle is provided slightly in front of the cup hole, and the height is increased in the vicinity of the cup hole. A container or bag (hereinafter simply referred to as a container) made of a flexible sheet is provided on the back of the artificial turf of a golf putter practice mat made of artificial turf or the like. The polystyrene polystyrene material, which is the raw material of the expanded polystyrene, is stored and provided with a polystyrene bead that has been pre-expanded twice or more in volume, and the upper surface of the artificial turf is pre-expanded by the strength of the artificially pressurizing pressure. By adopting a form that applies the principle that polystyrene beads move to the outer periphery of an artificial pressure part, any surface of the artificial turf can be easily and quickly imitated in the form of undulation on a golf course green. The present invention relates to a golf putter practice mat that is improved so that it can be adjusted and set, and gives a realistic feeling that is not different from the actual green state of a golf course.

  Typical prior arts of golf putter practice mats made of ready-made artificial turf for indoor use etc. are disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication Nos. 02-032870, 02-039777, 7-027645, etc. As mentioned, many golf putter practice mats have a simple artificial turf surface, and generally put the golf putter practice mat on the floor surface in an office or home to practice putting. The surface of the artificial turf is set at almost the same height as the floor from the position where the ball is set to a little before the cup hole, an inclined angle is set from a little before the cup hole, and it is raised one step near the cup hole, Alternatively, the practice pattern is very simple because there are many forms in which the distance of the inclination angle provided slightly before the cup hole is long.

  Alternatively, as disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 6-066744, the height can be adjusted only at a peripheral portion where there is a cup hole, or from the beginning of hitting the ball as disclosed in JP-A-2002-336394. There are some that can set the tilt angle up to the peripheral part with the cup hole, but this is also a form that changes only the tilt angle setting to the peripheral part of the cup hole, and it is said that it imitates the undulation of the golf course green It ’s hard.

Also, those that can be set assuming a green undulation of a golf course are disclosed in JP-A 09-215806, JP-A 09-019525, JP-A 11-019266, JP-A 2002-272892, and JP-A 2002-320697. No. 0, No. 02-147161, No. 3021495, etc., all of which are complicated in terms of mechanism utilizing air pressure or hydraulic pressure, etc., and have a simple form for inclining the artificial turf surface. There were many manufacturing costs, heavy weight, and nothing that was easy to carry.

Also, there is a form that is considered to be a device that can be set to simulate the undulation of the green turf surface of a golf course that is disclosed in JP-A-11-164926, but filled with granular materials such as ceramics Since water and other liquids are allowed to flow inside the waterproof sheet and the frictional resistance value of ceramics and the like is lowered by the liquid such as water to facilitate movement, it is far from being easy and quick to set indoors. And the water supply pipe or equipment for water supply / drainage or air exhaust must be provided in the waterproof sheet, and also in the overall component configuration including the rising and falling jacks provided between the floor surface and the support plate, Alternatively, the support plate for supporting the weight when filled with granular materials such as ceramics and water is also considerably expensive in a form in which the weight must be considerable. Far from the price range incite the cost's of buying mind, the not be seen in the existing dealers at present.

  Also, golf putter practice mats, which are mainly used indoors, need to set the golf putter practice mats easily and quickly indoors, etc., which increases the weight and takes time to set or store. However, a golf putter practice mat that lacks simplicity, such as being difficult, is fatal.

  In this way, the artificial turf surface can be easily set up assuming the undulation of the green of the golf course, and there is no cheap thing, and the artificial turf surface has a simple form, so the undue of the green turf surface of the golf course The consumer must purchase a golf putter practice mat and practice frequently at home or in the office, and the golf course green will show the results of the practice. It is very difficult.

  Also, because the artificial turf surface is a simple form, it is practiced actively at the time of purchase, but the golf ball hits simply by rolling straight, without changing how it changes like the green hit of the golf course. Often they get tired of long-term practice and are often forgotten with dust in the corners of their homes and offices.

Problems to be solved by the present invention

  Therefore, the above problems have been solved, and since the artificial turf surface has a simple shape, there is no practice pattern that assumes the undulation of the green of the golf course, and the golf ball simply rolls straight. It is an object of the present invention to provide a golf putter practice mat that can be easily and quickly set on the assumption that the golf putter practice mat is in a state of delicate undulation in the green of the golf course.

Means to solve the problem

The configuration of the golf putter practice mat according to the present invention is as follows.
(Claim 1)
A golf putter practice mat made of artificial turf, etc., and a container or bag made of a flexible sheet-like material that can be bent on the back of the artificial turf, or on the entire back of the artificial turf, or any An area is provided.
(Claim 2)
According to the first aspect of the invention, a container or bag provided on the backside of the artificial turf is provided with the polystyrene beads, which are the raw material of the expanded polystyrene, stored in a container or in a bag shape and accommodated with polystyrene beads that have been pre-expanded twice or more.
(Claim 3)
The polystyrene beads according to claim 2 are housed in a container or bag made of a flexible sheet that can be folded between the artificial turf back surface and the floor surface according to claim 1 and having an arbitrary area. It is provided.

(Function)
The golf putter practice mat having the above-described configuration is obtained by replacing the container 2 made of a flexible sheet-like material that can be folded on the back of the artificial turf 1 of the golf putter practice mat made of artificial turf or the like with the back of the artificial turf 1. By providing polystyrene beads 8 which are provided on the entire surface or in an arbitrary area and accommodated with pre-expanded polystyrene beads 8 in the container 2 and artificially pressurize the upper surface of the portion B of the artificial turf 1 to be lowered. The pre-foamed polystyrene beads 8 housed and provided in the container 2 on the back side of the artificial turf 1 at the pressurized portion move from the artificially pressurized portion to the non-pressurized portion. Further, the artificial turf 1 surface can be raised by artificially pressurizing the peripheral part other than the portion a or b to be raised, and the upper surface of the artificial turf 1 can be artificially raised. The undulation adjustment setting such as a delicate slice line or hook line can be easily and quickly performed on an arbitrary surface of the artificial turf 1 at an arbitrary height by the strength of pressure applied to the surface.

Embodiment of the Invention

  A preferred embodiment of a golf putter practice mat according to the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.

  In the embodiment of the present invention, a golf putter practice mat that gives a realistic sensation that is not different from the green state of an actual golf course and that can fully demonstrate the results of practice, as shown in FIG. The artificial turf surface is simple, the artificial turf surface is set at almost the same height as the floor surface from the start of the start to a little before the cup hole, the inclination angle is set slightly before the cup hole and the cup In the form of a step higher in the vicinity of the hole, a form having a slant angle 4 from slightly before the cup hole to the vicinity of the cup hole, or a form in which a slant angle of a complicated form can be set mechanically, or in JP-A-11-164926 An example compared with the disclosed golf putter practice mat will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 8, a container 2 made of a flexible sheet-like material that can be bent is provided on the entire back surface of the artificial turf 1 of the golf putter practice mat or in an arbitrary area, and is reserved in the container 2. Foamed polystyrene beads 8 are accommodated and provided.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the upper surface of the portion B to be lowered on the surface of the artificial turf 1 is artificially pressurized, so that the spare is provided in the container 2 on the back of the artificial turf 1 at the pressurized portion. The expanded polystyrene beads 8 are moved in the direction of the arrows of the non-pressurized portions D (1), D (2), D (3), D (4), D (5) from the artificially pressurized site, It becomes a form as shown in Fig. 4 and any surface of the artificial turf 1 can be adjusted to a fine slice line and hook line undulation adjustment setting at any height, or a partial undulation adjustment setting can be easily performed on the artificial turf 1 surface. In addition, there is an effect that can be performed quickly.

  The above-described embodiment will be described with reference to the perspective view of FIG. 2. By artificially pressurizing the upper surface of the part B to be lowered as shown in FIG. 2-1, the artificial turf of the part B to be lowered as shown in FIG. 1 The pre-expanded polystyrene beads 8 housed and provided in the container 2 on the back surface move in the direction of arrow C, and the portion b to be raised on the surface of the artificial turf 1 is raised.

  As an example of the above solution, as shown in FIG. 6, the artificial turf 1 surface is lightly and artificially pressurized with a foot or hand to the portion C to be lowered on the artificial turf 1 surface to artificially pressurize and lower the portion. The pre-expanded polystyrene beads 8 housed in the container 2 on the back of the artificial turf C are moved in the direction of the unpressurized portions F (1) and F (2) from the artificially pressurized site. Then, the portion of the artificial turf 1 surface to be lowered is lowered.

  In addition, the pre-expanded polystyrene beads 8 stored in the container 2 are very cheap in price as they are used as cushion materials for healing cushions currently on the market, and in particular, the soft feel and lightness of the cushions. The flowability of polystyrene beads that have been pre-expanded by lowering the pre-expansion rate of granular polystyrene beads, which is the raw material of expanded polystyrene, is so good that it is used as a cushioning material. Pre-expanded polystyrene beads 8 used for golf putter practice mats do not require fluidity as much as cushion materials, so the foaming ratio is increased to increase the frictional resistance, including the purpose of reducing the weight. By storing the undulation, the artificial turf 1 top surface can be easily adjusted with a little artificial pressure. There is an effect to be.

  As described above, the pre-expanded polystyrene beads 8 housed in the container 2 on the back side of the artificial turf 1 have high fluidity due to the strength of the artificial pressure applied to the upper surface of the artificial turf 1. As a result, it is possible to easily and quickly adjust and set the undulation on any surface of the artificial turf at any height, and to produce a very lightweight golf putter practice mat.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 7, a container 7 provided with pre-foamed polystyrene beads in a container 7 made of a flexible sheet that can be bent in an arbitrary area is provided on a golf putter practice mat. The form provided between the back of the artificial turf and the floor has the same effect as the present invention.
