[Prior art]

 Generally, the types of golf balls include hand-wound balls, two-piece balls, one-piece balls, and the like, and all balls are formed with rubber (rubber material) as a core.

It is well known that the rubber (rubber material) has a high rebound resilience as the temperature rises, and the rebound resilience sharply rises to about 50 ° C., which is higher than room temperature. Introduction to Rubber Technology ”).

[0004] Therefore, in a golf ball formed by using the rubber material as a nucleus, in the winter season when the temperature decreases, the rubber which is the nucleus of the ball hardens, the flight distance does not increase, and the touch at the moment of impact The problem that was also inferior occurred.

[0005] In order to solve these problems, in winter when the temperature drops, a general golfer puts the golf ball in his pants pocket or warms it in his / her palm before the start. The resilience was maintained.

[0006]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 However, it is not preferable to put a golf ball in the pocket, because it makes the player feel uncomfortable when practicing the swing or moving. There was also a problem that the appearance was not good.

[0007] Further, even in the method of warming in the palm, the golf ball cannot be raised to a temperature higher than the body temperature, and the rebound resilience cannot be effectively increased. Furthermore, if the ball was lost during play, a new ball had to be re-warmed from the beginning, which was inefficient.

[0008] In view of the above, the present invention increases the rebound resilience of rubber by effectively warming a ball, and can prevent a decrease in flight distance due to cooling of the ball even when the temperature drops. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a container.

[0009]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above object, the golf ball container of the present invention has a heating element mounted inside the container.

[0010] The container is formed of a heat insulating encapsulating material in which a plurality of layers of materials are bonded by ultrasonic processing.

[0011] In addition, a pocket for holding the heating element is provided inside the container.

Further, the pocket is formed of a mesh-shaped material capable of efficiently releasing the heat of the heating element.

[0013] Further, a lid that can be opened and closed is installed in the opening of the container.

[0014] Further, it is preferable that the lid is installed so as to be freely opened and closed with a fastener, a hook-and-loop fastener, a button or a hook.

According to the above configuration, if a plurality of golf balls are housed in a housing equipped with a heating element, the golf balls can be effectively warmed. In particular, when a surrounding material having high heat retention and a pocket capable of efficiently releasing heat are provided, the ball can be heated effectively. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the flight distance from being reduced due to the cooling of the ball even when the temperature drops. Also, by installing and closing the lid of the container with a zipper, hook-and-loop fastener, button or hook, etc., it becomes very easy to put the ball in and out.

[0016]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. 1 is an overall view of the container body of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a side view of the container body partially sectioned, FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the enclosing member, and FIGS. Preferred examples are respectively shown.

The container main body 1 is made of a surrounding material 2 having an excellent heat retaining effect, and is formed in a size that can accommodate a plurality (three in the figure) of golf balls G. Further, the container main body 1 can be attached to a waist belt of pants or a golf bag for convenient carrying.

A cover 4 is installed in the upper opening 3 of the container main body 1 so as to be openable and closable, and a fitting 5 for holding a trouser belt or the like is provided on the outer surface. A mesh-shaped pocket 6 and a heating element 7 held in the pocket 6 are detachably provided inside the housing body 1.

The lid 4 is installed in the upper opening 3 of the container body 1 by a generally used fastener 8 so as to be openable and closable, but is constituted by engaging elements of a male surface and a female surface. A hook-and-loop fastener, button, hook, or the like may be used.

As shown in FIG. 3, the enclosing member 2 is provided with a suede-like cloth 9 having an aesthetic appearance and a water repellent function on the front surface, and a golf ball G on the inner surface so as not to damage the golf ball G. And tricot dough 10 are used. Between the suede-like cloth 9 and the tricot cloth 10, an intermediate material 11 of a foamed urethane sheet having a heat retaining function and a cushioning property is arranged. If the inner side is made of a sputtering fabric or ceramic fiber fabric in which metal ions such as titanium having heat generation effect are plasma-treated, the heat retaining effect is further improved.

The suede-like material 9, the middle material 11, and the tricot material 10 are bonded to each other by ultrasonic quilting. The ultrasonic quilt processing is a processing technique for bonding a plurality of layers of material by frictional heat generated by ultrasonic vibration of the material itself, and has been conventionally known.

The ultrasonic quilting is different from ordinary multi-needle quilting, in that there is no penetrating hole between the raw materials, and it is possible to prevent cold air from intruding from the outside and is excellent in heat retention. In addition, since no thread is used, the use of the surrounding material 2 of the container body 1 does not cause a fray of the thread that hinders the golf ball G from being taken in and out.

Inside the housing 1, a pocket 6 for detachably holding the heating element 7 is provided. The pocket 6 is made of, for example, a polyester mesh so that the heat of the heating element 7 can be easily passed and released. Although the pocket 6 is provided from the side surface to the bottom surface of the container main body 1 in the drawing, it may be installed on the entire surface of the container main body 1 or the inner surface of the lid 4.

The heating element 7 is a commercially available disposable body warmer generating about 40 ° C., which is capable of effectively heating the golf ball G without using a human body during use. Preferably, it is used. As a result of performing a heat retention test in this example, the heating element 7 rose to 35 ° C. in 5 to 7 minutes after the start of heating, and then reached a maximum temperature of 38 to 40 ° C. It reached 6 ° C. Also, within 5 hours, which is the average round time, the internal temperature of the container body 1 could be maintained at 30 ° C. or higher in winter.

Next, a method of using the golf ball container of the present invention will be described. First, in winter when the temperature falls, about 10 to 20 minutes before the start of play, the heating element 7 is taken out of the container body 1 and lightly softened to generate heat. Thereafter, the heating element 7 is housed in the pocket 6 in the housing body 1, and the plurality of golf balls G are housed in the housing body 1.

The core rubber (rubber material) of the golf ball G in the container main body 1 is heated by the heat generated by the heating element 7. Immediately before the play starts, the heated golf ball G in the container main body 1 is taken out, placed on a tee, and play is started. When the container body 1 is worn on a trouser belt, the heating element 7 warms the area around the wearing section, and the human body can be warmed comfortably in winter play when the temperature decreases.

In another preferred example shown in FIG. 4, the container main body 1 is formed in a cylindrical shape, the pocket 6 and the heating element 7 are stored inside the container main body 1, and the hanging member 12 is attached to the lid 4. By installing this, it can be used by hanging it on a golf bag or the like, which is advantageous in terms of carrying and use.

Further, as in another preferred example shown in FIG. 5, a storage part 14 for a golf ball G formed in a hemispherical shape is installed on a heating element 13 formed in a three-dimensional shape. The same effect can be obtained by storing the main body 1 in the main body 1.

[Effect of the invention]

 As described above, the golf ball container of the present invention has the following effects by adopting the above configuration.

Since the heating element is mounted in the housing body, the golf ball can be effectively warmed. Therefore, even when the temperature drops, it is possible to prevent the flight distance from decreasing due to the cooling of the ball. In particular, the golf ball can be heated more effectively by forming the housing body with a highly heat-insulating surrounding material and housing the heating element in a pocket capable of efficiently releasing heat. it can.

In addition, by installing and closing the lid of the container with a fastener, a hook-and-loop fastener, a button, a hook, or the like, it is very easy to put the ball in and out.

Further, by forming the container body by ultrasonic quilting without using a thread, there is no through hole by a needle between the materials, so that invasion of cold air from the outside can be prevented, and heat insulation can be achieved. It has excellent effects. Furthermore, there is no occurrence of thread fraying which hinders the golf ball G from being taken in and out.
