The blower is configured to open the open / close lid of the underground hangar, extend the telescopic struts to be positioned at a predetermined blowing height, and to shorten and store in the underground hangar.

  A golf course green turf vegetation maintenance device according to claim 2 is characterized in that, in the configuration of claim 1, the blower includes a spray function unit that injects water mist in accordance with blowing. is there.

  Furthermore, in the golf course green turf vegetation maintenance apparatus according to claim 3, in the configuration of claim 1, the open / close lid of the underground hangar is decorated so that the upper surface thereof has the same appearance as the surrounding ground of the underground hangar. It is characterized by being.

  According to the present invention, an underground hangar having an open / close lid that is flush with the ground is provided around the green area, and the blower is positioned at a predetermined blowing height when in use, and stored in the underground hangar when not in use. Thus, the golf course green turf vegetation maintenance device can be obtained that does not impair the scenery around the green at the time of play and does not obstruct the field of view around the green or the target at the time of play.

It is a perspective view which cuts and shows a part of golf course green turf vegetation maintenance device concerning one embodiment of the present invention. It is a perspective view which notches and shows a part of storage state same as the above. It is a perspective view which cuts and shows a part of golf course green turf vegetation maintenance apparatus concerning other embodiments of the present invention. It is a perspective view which shows the detail of a part same as the above.

  1 and 2, reference numeral 1 denotes an underground hangar, which is installed in the basement around the green area. The underground hangar 1 includes an opening / closing lid 2 that is flush with the ground. The opening / closing lid 2 is horizontally supported by the lid opening / closing device 3 so as to be flush with the ground, and can be opened and closed so as to slide relative to the ground. The upper surface of the opening / closing lid 2 is decorated so as to have the same appearance as the surrounding ground of the underground hangar. In the illustrated embodiment, the artificial turf 4 is stretched over the entire surface so as to have the same appearance as the ground. Yes.
