Description

The present invention relates to a golf ball wiping tool for wiping dirt attached to the surface of a golf ball with a water-absorbing material impregnated with water.

It is common for a caddy accompanying a golfer to wipe off dirt such as mud dirt, dust and grass juice attached to the surface of a golf ball with a wet towel during golf play, but play without a caddy. When doing so, the golfer has to wipe off the dirt himself, so for example, before putting on the green, the golfer must bring a wet towel to the position where the ball is on the green.

For this reason, a portable golf ball wiping tool that allows a golfer to hook around a waist belt and carry the golf ball has been proposed (see Patent Document 1). However, this wiping tool is a holder provided with a hook to be hooked on the belt. A water-absorbent material such as a sponge to be held is impregnated with water, and a golf ball is pressed against the water-absorbent material and rubbed against the water-absorbable material to wipe off dirt attached to the surface of the golf ball.

However, when a golf ball is pressed against a sponge impregnated with water and rubbed, water is squeezed out of the sponge, and a large amount of water adheres to the surface of the golf ball or a finger of a golfer so as to interfere with play. However, there is a defect that a dry towel or a handkerchief must be used to wipe off the adhering water. Therefore, the holder of Patent Document 1 is also equipped with a towel hook mechanism.

Also, if the golf ball is strongly pressed against the sponge held by the holder and rubbed, the water impregnated in the sponge is squeezed out at once, and the squeezed water may overflow from the holder and wet the clothes. At the same time, there is an inconvenience that the sponge must be replenished with water during play.

Further, it is difficult to reliably remove dirt adhering to the surface of the golf ball if the golf ball is gently pressed against the sponge so as not to squeeze out the water impregnated in the sponge.

The problem to be solved by the present invention is to ensure that water impregnated in a water-absorbing material such as a sponge can be wiped out of dirt attached to the surface of a golf ball by the water-absorbing material without squeezing out the water. It is in.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a golf ball wiping tool for wiping dirt attached to the surface of a golf ball with a water-absorbing material impregnated with water. And a seat provided with a hole for projecting into the case by a surface area smaller than that of a hemisphere.

The golf ball wiping device of the present invention impregnates a water-absorbing material loaded in a case with water, presses the golf ball against a hole provided in a seat, and pushes the golf ball in all directions with a fingertip. When rotated, dirt and grass juice on the surface of the golf ball are wiped off by the water-absorbing material, and at the same time, the lump of dirt and debris are removed by the edge of the hole provided in the seat. Taken. Further, since the golf ball is regulated so as not to be pressed against the water-absorbing material loaded in the case more than a certain amount by the hole provided in the seat, a large amount of water is generated from the water-absorbing material. Is never squeezed.

Therefore, the dirt attached to the surface of the golf ball can be reliably wiped off, and at the same time, a large amount of water is squeezed out of the water-absorbing material, and the surface of the golf ball and the fingertips become wet enough to interfere with play. Can be reliably prevented.

The best mode of the golf ball wiping tool according to the present invention is a case for loading a water-absorbing material impregnated with water, and a receiving hole provided with a hole for projecting a golf ball into the case by a surface area smaller than a hemisphere. A seat for opening and closing the case for facilitating washing and replacement of the water-absorbing material loaded in the case. It consists of a circular hole having a diameter about several millimeters smaller than the diameter of the ball, and furthermore, the water-absorbent material loaded in the case can easily polish off the grass juice attached to the surface of the golf ball. It is composed of a flexible foam made of melamine urethane resin.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an example of a golf ball wiping tool according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view showing a use state of the golf ball wiping tool. The golf ball wiping tool 1 uses a general sponge or a detergent. A case 3 in which a water-absorbing material 2 made of a soft foam (hereinafter, referred to as melamine foam) made of melamine urethane resin, which can polish persistent grass juice with water alone without water, and golf And a receiving seat 4 provided with a hole 5 for projecting the ball G into the case 3 by a surface area smaller than that of a hemisphere.

The case 3 and the seat 4 are integrally formed of plastic, and the seat 4 serves as an opening / closing lid for the case 3. That is, the receiving seat 4 has one end connected to the case 3 by the hinge 6 and the other end provided with the hook 8 to be hooked on the projecting piece 7 of the case 3. Accordingly, the water-absorbing material 2 can be easily loaded in the case 3, and the water-absorbing material 2 loaded in the case 3 can be easily taken out to wash dirt, They can be used interchangeably, or replaced with new ones. The hole 5 of the seat 4 has a diameter several millimeters smaller than the diameter of the golf ball G so that the golf ball G pressed against the hole 5 can be picked up with a fingertip and smoothly rotated. It is formed with a circular hole.

When the golf ball wiping tool 1 is used, the water-absorbing material 2 such as melamine foam loaded in the case 3 is impregnated with water to close the receiving seat 4 serving as an opening / closing lid. In this state, the golf ball G is pressed against the hole 5 of the seat 4 as shown in FIG. 2, and the golf ball G is rotated in all directions with a fingertip.

As a result, mud dirt and the like adhering to the surface of the golf ball G are wiped off by the water-absorbing material 2 and, at the same time, the lump of dirt and dust are removed by the edge of the hole 5 provided in the seat 4. As a result, dirt adhering to the surface of the golf ball G is reliably removed. In particular, if melamine foam is used as the water-absorbing material 2, the dirt of the persistent grass juice adhering to the surface of the golf ball G is ensured only by gently rubbing the water-absorbing material 2 while rotating the golf ball G with a fingertip. Can be polished.

The golf ball G, which is pressed against the hole 5 provided in the seat 4 and rotated with a fingertip, is pressed against the water-absorbing material 2 housed in the case 3 by the seat 4 more than a certain strength. Therefore, a large amount of water is not squeezed from the water-absorbing material 2 impregnated with water. Therefore, there is no danger that the surface of the golf ball G or the fingertips will get wet so as to hinder the play, or that the water impregnated in the water-absorbent material 2 will overflow from the case 3 and wet the clothes and the like. Further, since the water-absorbing material 2 made of melamine foam has a remarkably high water retention, even if the golf ball wiping tool 1 of the present example is put in a pocket of a clothes and is carried around, there is little possibility that the pocket gets wet.
