Description

  The present invention is an apparatus for practicing golf shots, and particularly relates to a golf practice table that assumes a case where a shot is made at an inclined place.

  Conventionally, in an actual golf course, there are few undulations and hitting a golf ball from a flat place. Therefore, there has been a demand to practice in a state assuming an inclined surface even during practice. For this reason, a variety of practice devices have been developed that embody such an inclined surface.

  For example, a mat in an artificial turf shot mat placed on the surface of a substrate by adjusting the height through adjuster bolts that are selectively screwed to a plurality of nuts planted on the back surface of the substrate. 2. Description of the Related Art A golf practice table is known in which the inclination angle of a surface can be adjusted to an arbitrary angle (see Patent Document 1).

Also known is a golf practice mat characterized by installing a plurality of strip-shaped artificial lawns on a base having an inclined surface with a gap parallel to the upper and lower sides of the inclined surface. (See Patent Document 2).

  Among the above-described conventional techniques, the invention related to Patent Document 1 is a practice table that can reproduce not only an inclined surface but also any state including a flat ground. However, because it is a configuration that uses bolts and nuts to make fine adjustments to create an inclined surface, it is cumbersome to create an inclined surface, and the structure is complicated, making it heavy and difficult to carry was there.

  Further, in the invention relating to Patent Document 2, even if lightness is ensured, it is necessary to place the ball in the gap between the artificial lawns in order to make the ball rest on the inclined surface, which corresponds to the placement of the artificial lawn. If the above attention is not paid, the ball cannot be stably placed, and the ball is located at a position slightly lower than the assumed position of the ball on an actual golf course.

  Therefore, the present invention is a golf practice apparatus that solves the above-described problems in the golf practice table and golf practice mat that have been conventionally known, and that realizes a state assuming an inclined surface in a golf course, and is lightweight. An object of the present invention is to provide a golf practice table that is excellent in being easy to carry and that can stably place a golf ball on an inclined surface.

  In order to achieve the above object, a golf practice stand proposed by the present invention is a rectangular parallelepiped in plan view, and has a base having an inclined surface that is inclined downward from the upper side toward the lower side, and on the inclined surface. And an elastic member extending in parallel with the upper side and the lower side of the inclined surface is arranged between the upper surface of the inclined surface and the bottom surface of the artificial grass. .

  In the above, the base is a rectangular parallelepiped having a size suitable for placing a ball on which a practitioner rides with both legs wide, one leg up or one leg down, and has an upper surface on one side. The inclined surface is inclined downward from the (upper side) side toward the other side (lower side) facing the side.

  Here, the inclination angle is preferably an angle of about 20 degrees to 45 degrees in consideration of an inclined surface of an actual golf course.

  In addition, the base has a strength that does not collapse even when a practitioner rides on the inclined portion, and it is necessary to maintain a weight that does not have difficulty in carrying, so a wooden or synthetic resin plate and It can be formed using expanded polystyrene. However, any material can be used as long as it has a strength that does not collapse even when a foot is placed on the inclined portion, and can maintain a weight that does not make it difficult to carry.

  The elastic member is formed with protrusions extending in parallel with the upper and lower sides on the surface of the artificial turf where the elastic member is disposed, and when the club swings, the elastic force is applied by the pressure of the club. An object of the present invention is to prevent the protrusions formed on the surface of the artificial turf from being obstructed by collapsing members, and between the upper surface of the inclined surface and the bottom surface of the artificial grass. It is arranged in parallel with the upper and lower sides of and attached.

  The elastic member may be attached to the upper surface of the inclined surface of the base or may be attached to the bottom surface of the artificial turf. Further, two or more elastic members may be arranged at a predetermined interval between the lower side and the upper side of the inclined surface. The elastic member is preferably a string-like sponge member, but may be any shape and material that can achieve the object.

  A cushion material layer can be formed on the upper surface of the inclined surface of the base. As a result, the impact on the base and the club generated when the golf club swings can be reduced. The cushion material layer may be made of any material as long as the object can be achieved, such as urethane, rubber sponge, or synthetic rubber body.

  The base can be hollow. Thereby, further weight reduction can be achieved.

  A handle can be attached to the side part including the upper side of the base. Carrying can be facilitated by the presence of the handle.

  According to the present invention, the elastic member is present between the upper surface of the inclined surface of the base and the bottom surface of the artificial turf, so that the upper and lower sides of the surface of the artificial turf that is inclined along the inclined surface of the base A ridge extending in parallel with is formed. Using this ridge, the ball can be stably placed on the artificial grass whose surface is inclined. In addition, when swinging a golf club, it is possible to provide a golf practice table in which the elastic member is crushed by the pressure of the club and the protrusions formed on the surface of the artificial turf do not get in the way.

  Further, by using lightweight foamed polystyrene as the base component and further making the base hollow, it is possible to provide a golf practice base that is lightweight and easy to carry.

  Furthermore, by attaching a handle to the side surface of the base, it is possible to provide a golf practice base that is easier to carry.

  Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  The golf practice table of the present invention shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 includes a base 10 and an artificial turf 4 disposed on the upper side of the base 10.

  The artificial turf 4 can be arranged on the upper side of the base 10 by fixing the entire circumference or a part or the whole of the bottom surface to the four circumferences of the base 10 or a part or the whole of the upper surface of the base 10. By fixing only the upper side portion of the artificial turf 4 corresponding to the upper side 20 of the base 10 to the upper side 20 of the base 10, it can be arranged on the upper side of the base 10.

  The base 10 is a rectangular parallelepiped that is rectangular in plan view, and includes an inclined surface 22 that inclines downward from the upper side 20 toward the lower side 21 as shown in FIG.

  The artificial turf 4 is mounted on the inclined surface 22 of the base 10, and its surface is inclined along the inclined surface 22 from the upper side 20 side toward the lower side 21 side as shown in the figure. .

  In the illustrated embodiment, a rectangular shape in plan view of the inclined surface 22 of the base 10 is a length suitable for a practitioner using a golf practice table to ride with both feet wide and to place a ball. Although the rectangular shape has a width of 80 cm and a width of 40 cm, the dimensions are not limited as long as the object can be achieved.

  In the illustrated embodiment, the slope 22 has a maximum height (upper side 20 side height) of 10 cm and a minimum height (lower side 21 side height) of 3 cm. The maximum height and the minimum height may be any height as long as the inclination angle of the inclined surface 22 can ensure an angle of about 20 to 45 degrees in consideration of the actual inclined surface of the golf course. It can also be.

  In the illustrated embodiment, the base 10 includes wooden plates 1 and 1 and a polystyrene foam 2 sandwiched between the wooden plates 1 and 1. As shown in FIG. 3, the foamed polystyrene 2 is made hollow inside to ensure lightness, but even if a person practicing using the golf practice table of the present invention puts his feet on an inclined surface, the shape does not collapse. Any material can be used as long as it satisfies a certain level of strength and can maintain a weight that is not difficult to carry.

  In the golf practice base of the present invention, an elastic member is disposed between the upper surface of the inclined surface 22 and the bottom surface of the artificial turf 4 so as to extend in parallel with the upper side 20 and the lower side 21.

  The elastic member is arranged between the upper surface of the inclined surface 22 and the bottom surface of the artificial turf 4 so as to extend in parallel with the upper side 20 and the lower side 21, whereby the artificial turf 4 inclined along the inclined surface 22 is arranged. A hump 23 (FIG. 3) extending in parallel with the upper side 20 and the lower side 21 is formed on the surface of the golf ball 24, and a golf ball 24 placed as shown in FIG. The surface of the turf 4 is directed downward so as not to roll down in the direction of the arrow 25.

  In the illustrated embodiment, the string-like sponge members 5, 5 each having a height and width of about 1 cm and having a length over almost the entire length in the longitudinal direction of the base 10 are connected to the upper side 20 and the lower side 21 of the inclined surface 22. And a predetermined interval between them. Accordingly, the golf ball is stably placed at the position of the golf ball 24 shown by the solid line in FIG. 3 or the position of the golf ball 26 shown by the broken line, and the shot is practiced on the inclined surface. Can do.

  Since the elastic member is disposed between the upper surface of the inclined surface 22 and the bottom surface of the artificial turf 4 for the above-described purpose, a predetermined amount is provided between the upper side 20 and the lower side 21 of the inclined surface 22 as shown in the figure. Two or more (not shown) can be arranged at intervals, and although not shown, only one can be arranged.

  In the illustrated embodiment, the elastic member is disposed so as to extend over almost the entire length of the base 10 in the longitudinal direction. However, as described above, the length of the elastic member is that of the artificial grass 4 that is inclined. Since it is sufficient to prevent the Wolf ball placed on the surface from rolling down in the direction of the arrow 25 in the downward direction, the length can be made short enough to achieve this purpose.

  In this way, a plurality of elastic members having a short length can be arranged in a straight line in the longitudinal direction of the base 10, one, one, with a predetermined feeling, or a short length. These elastic members can also be arranged in steps in different positions between the upper side 20 and the lower side 21 at different positions in the longitudinal direction of the base 10.

  In the illustrated embodiment, the sponge members 5 and 5 are attached to the upper side of the inclined surface 22 as shown in FIG. 2, but may be attached to the bottom surface of the artificial turf 4.

  In this embodiment, a sponge member having a height and a width of about 1 cm as an elastic member disposed so as to extend in parallel with the upper side 20 and the lower side 21 between the upper surface of the inclined surface 22 and the bottom surface of the artificial turf 4. 5 and 5 are employed, but by providing an elastic member, a hump 23 extending in parallel with the upper side 20 and the lower side 21 is formed on the surface of the artificial turf 4 inclined along the inclined surface 22. The golf ball 24 formed and placed above the hump 23 as shown in FIG. 3 can be prevented from rolling down in the direction of the arrow 25 with the inclined artificial turf 4 surface facing downward. In addition, when the golf club is swung, the elastic member is crushed by the pressure of the club, and the hump formed on the surface of the artificial grass 4 has a size and flexibility that does not interfere with the swing. , Serial size and material does not matter.

  In the illustrated embodiment, the cushioning material layer 3 is formed by bonding on the entire upper surface of the inclined surface of the base 10, and the artificial turf 4 is disposed on the cushioning material layer 3. An elastic member is arranged between the bottom surface of the lawn 4.

  As the cushion material layer 3, a rubber sponge can be used in order to relieve an impact on the base 10 that occurs when swinging with a golf club.

  Since the artificial turf 4 has a certain elasticity, the object of the present invention can be achieved without the cushion material layer 3. However, if the cushion material layer 3 is formed on the upper surface of the inclined surface of the base 10, As described above, it is advantageous because the impact on the base 10 generated when swinging with a golf club can be reduced.

  In the illustrated embodiment, 6 is attached to the side surface including the upper side 20 of the base 10. That is, a ribbon-shaped synthetic resin is sandwiched between the wooden boards 1 and 1 and the polystyrene foam 2 at the center of the side surface to form handles 6 and 6.

  Since the handles 6 and 6 are attached for the purpose of facilitating the carrying of the golf practice base of the present invention, any material and shape can be used as long as they can be used as handles. Moreover, as long as the whole golf practice stand can be supported stably, you may attach to the side part containing the lower side 21 of the base 10, or the side part containing a side.
