The present invention relates to a golf practice device that performs repetitive practice of a golf swing, and more particularly to a golf practice device for a short swing such as putting or approach shot.

In general, in golf, learning the correct form of swing is fundamental and is a shortcut to progress. However, learning the correct form completely is not easy, and many people practice by reading textbooks and watching videos. Also, various types of exercise equipment are considered, and there are some that can correct and acquire the form by wearing and practicing.

For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a device related to a golf swing training device with the name “golf swing training device” that can accurately and easily confirm a form during a swing.
The device disclosed in Patent Document 1 generates a striking sound by a rod-shaped pipe, a pair of fixing members installed on the pipe and attachable to both elbows, and housed in the pipe and colliding with an end portion. It is comprised from the weight and the light each installed in the both ends of a pipe.
When the user wears a pair of fixing members on both elbows, the pipes are in contact with the front sides of both arms of the user, and the right arm and the left arm are fixed so as not to move by the pair of fixing members. When swinging with a golf club in this state, the correct form can be maintained without a side. In addition, since the light beam from the light installed at the end of the pipe is reflected as a spot on a screen such as a window glass on the front side of the user, it is possible to confirm the form by comparing the position of this spot with the target position. it can. Furthermore, if any of the shoulders tilts, the pipe tilts from the horizontal position, and the weight inside the pipe slides and collides with the end of the pipe, producing a striking sound. Tilt can be sensed.

Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2005-228561 discloses a golf swing practice tool that can strengthen the muscle strength necessary for a swing while correcting the swing under the name “golf swing practice tool”.
The device disclosed in Patent Document 2 is a pair of loop-like stretchable bodies, a back pad formed by covering the central portion of the stretchable body, and a pair formed by covering both ends of the stretchable body. It is made up of a bracelet pad.
Then, put both arms through a pair of holes formed between the back pad and the pair of arm pads, put the back pad on the back, wear it, and swing it with the golf club. Since a load is applied to the arm in a state, a backswing process, etc., it is possible to strengthen and strengthen the muscle strength necessary for the swing and to correct the swing by repeatedly practicing with the load.

The golf practice apparatus according to the best mode of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.
FIG. 1 is a conceptual diagram of a golf practice apparatus according to this embodiment of the present invention.
In FIG. 1, a golf training device 1 is a training device for learning a correct form when performing a short swing such as putting or approach shot in a golf swing, and mainly includes an arm band 2 and an arm. The golf club is composed of a receiver 3 and a shaft portion 4 that connects the arm band 2 and the arm receiver 3, and is used by being mounted on the right arm and the left arm while holding the golf club with both hands.
The arm band 2 is wound around and fixed to the arm on the user's launch direction side, that is, the arm that is not normally the dominant arm. By being wound in this way, the golf practice device 1 can be prevented from falling from the arm. On the other hand, the arm support 3 holds the arm opposite to the user's launch direction, that is, normally the dominant arm so as to be detachable, and is used by contacting the dominant arm with the concave portion formed in an arc shape. To do.
Further, the shaft portion 4 includes a first shaft 5 connected to the arm band 2 and a second shaft 6 connected to the arm receiver 3 so that the distance between the arm band 2 and the arm receiver 3 is constant. Have a role to hold. That is, the distance between the non-dominant arm around which the armband 2 is wound and the dominant arm held by the arm receiver 3 can be kept constant. Accordingly, when the golf practice device 1 is worn, the distance between the arms holding the golf club is determined, so that the correct form can be learned by repeatedly putting and practicing without changing the distance between the arms. it can.

The shaft portion 4 is provided with a length adjusting portion 7 that adjusts the length of the shaft portion 4. In the length adjusting portion 7, a groove 8 that is larger than the outer diameter of the second shaft 6 and is slidable by inserting the second shaft 6 is formed in the end portion 5a of the first shaft. The length of the shaft portion 4 is adjusted by inserting the end portion 6 a of the second shaft into the groove 8 and sliding the end portion 6 a of the second shaft in the groove 8. In addition, when the length adjustment part 7 is provided with a stopper that suppresses the movement of the second shaft 6 when the shaft part 4 is adjusted to a desired length, the length of the shaft part 4 can be easily fixed. Is possible. The kind and structure of the stopper are not particularly limited. Further, for example, a male screw is threaded on the outer periphery of the second shaft 6 and a female screw is threaded on the inner periphery of the groove 8 formed at the end of the first shaft 5a. By adjusting the length by movement, it is also possible to suppress the movement of the second shaft 6 by the frictional force of these screws without providing a stopper.
Further, the shaft portion 4 is provided with a first angle adjusting screw 9 and a second angle adjusting screw 10. The first angle adjusting screw 9 is provided at the end of the first shaft 5 on the arm band 2 side, and the arm band 2 can be tilted in the vertical direction with the first angle adjusting screw 9 as a fulcrum. The vertical angle formed by the band 2 and the first shaft 5 can be freely changed and fixed. Here, the vertical direction of the arm band 2 using the first angle adjusting screw 9 as a fulcrum means the vertical direction of the arm band 2 with respect to the paper surface in the state shown in FIG. Therefore, tilting is possible on both the front side and the other side.
On the other hand, the second angle adjusting screw 10 is provided at the end of the second shaft 6 on the arm receiver 3 side, and the arm receiver 3 can be tilted in the vertical direction with the second angle adjusting screw 10 as a fulcrum. The vertical angle formed by the arm receiver 3 and the second shaft 6 can be freely changed and fixed. The vertical direction of the arm receiver 3 with the second angle adjusting screw 10 as a fulcrum is the same as that of the first angle adjusting screw 9.
As described in detail later, the arm band 2 and the arm support 3 are attached to each other by making the respective angles changeable by the first angle adjusting screw 9 and the second angle adjusting screw 10 as described above. Alternatively, it can be arranged at right angles to the arm to be held.
The first angle adjusting screw 9 and the second angle adjusting screw 10 are not limited to screws, but may be a thumbscrew, bolt, and nut as long as they can be fixed by changing the above-described angle. Etc.

Here, a method of using the golf practice tool will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 2 is a conceptual diagram when the golf practice device according to the present embodiment is mounted on the user's arm. 2, the same parts as those shown in FIG. 1 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description of the configuration is omitted.
In FIG. 2, first, the wearing method will be described. Since the user 13 is right-handed, the armband 2 is generally inserted from the wrist into the left arm 14 which is not the dominant arm on the launch direction 16 side, from the elbow to the wrist. Wrap around any position. Then, while putting the right arm 15 as the dominant arm on the arm rest 3, the putter 17 is grasped with both hands and both elbows are bent gently to form a putting form. Then, the left arm 14 around which the arm band 2 is wound by the shaft portion 4 of the golf practice device 1 and the right arm 15 held by the arm receiver 3 maintain a certain distance, and an inner angle θ formed by both arms and the grip. Will be determined. The pentagon 23 formed by connecting the right shoulder 21, the right elbow 18, the center 19 of the grip, the left elbow 20, and the left shoulder 22 is maintained by holding the inner angle θ and suppressing excessive movement of the wrist and fingertips. Stroke using both hands, both arms and both shoulders with the spine as the axis makes it possible to perform stable putting. By repeatedly practicing such putting, the correct form can be obtained.
Further, in the golf practice device 1, the right arm 15 is detachably held by the arm rest 3, so that it can be easily detached from the arm rest 3, for example, an operation other than putting or placing a golf ball is performed. Easy to do. And since the golf practice instrument 1 is a compact shape, it is not conspicuous even if it is worn, and it is possible to practice without worrying about the eyes in practice areas.

In FIG. 2, in the putting posture, the right arm 15 and the left arm 14 are not parallel from the elbow of the user 13 to the wrist, so that the golf practice device 1 sandwiches the shaft portion 4 and the arm band 2 and the armrest 3 are curved. In a straight line state, the arm band 2 is attached to the left arm 14 at an angle, and the arm receiver 3 is in contact with the right arm 15 at an angle, making it difficult to maintain the attachment surface and the holding surface.
Therefore, the arm band 2 and the arm receiver 3 are previously perpendicular to the left arm 14 and the right arm 15 by using the first angle adjusting screw 9 and the second angle adjusting screw 10 installed on the shaft portion 4, respectively. Further, the arm band 2 and the arm rest 3 are arranged so that the shaft portion 4 is horizontal or parallel to a straight line 24 connecting the right elbow 18 and the left elbow 20 or a straight line 25 connecting the right shoulder 21 and the left shoulder 22. Is tilted in the vertical direction and fixed, and the angle α formed by the arm band 2 and the first shaft 5 and the angle β formed by the arm receiver 3 and the second shaft 6 may be changed and determined. Here, reference numerals 11 and 12 are support members, respectively. The support member 11 is connected to the first shaft 5 to support the arm band 2, and the support member 12 is connected to the second shaft 6. The arm support 3 is supported.
Also, the length of the shaft portion 4 may be adjusted in advance by the length adjusting unit 7 according to the body shape of the user 13.
2 shows an example in which the golf practice device 1 is mounted on the arm from the elbow to the wrist. However, the golf practice device 1 is not limited to the arm from the elbow to the wrist, but to the so-called second arm from the shoulder to the elbow. It is also possible to install. Further, the golf practice device 1 is effective not only for correcting the putting form but also for a short swing such as an approach shot. In this case, it is necessary to set the length of the shaft portion 4 longer than that attached to the arm from the elbow to the wrist.

Next, the armband will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 3A is an outline view of an arm band of the golf practice apparatus according to the present embodiment, and FIG. 3B is an outline view of an arm belt of the golf practice apparatus.
In FIG. 3 (a), the arm band 2 is a cylindrical body made of a stretchable fabric, and freely stretches when worn and is fixed at an arbitrary position on the user's arm.
Further, as shown in FIG. 3 (b), in the golf practice equipment, instead of the annular arm band 2, a belt-like body having a cut line is formed, and a planar fastener as indicated by the symbol A so that it can be fastened. It is good also as armband 2a provided with. The planar fasteners A are provided at portions where the cuts are in contact with each other, and can generate a large frictional force by being brought into contact with each other to be fastened in an arbitrary winding state. Therefore, it is possible to adjust the winding diameter of the arm band 2a according to the thickness of the user's arm. In addition, since the thickness of the arm is generally thicker from the wrist side to the elbow side, it is necessary to change the winding diameter of the arm band 2a to wind it in a conical shape. Since it can be easily handled, it is easy to wind and also has a good feeling after use.
Fig. 3 (b) shows the simplest structure, but with one buckle or metal fittings, pulling one end of the armband 2a with one free hand and folding it back with the buckle or metal fittings. However, the winding diameter of the arm band 2a may be fixed so as to be adjustable. Since the arm band is to be attached to the arm, it must be able to be easily fastened with one hand. For this reason, an arm band that can be fastened with a buckle or metal fitting while easily adjusting the winding diameter is useful.
Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 3C, an arm belt 26 can be used in place of the arm band 2 in the golf practice device. The arm belt 26 is wound around a user's arm by winding a belt-like cloth around the arm and fitting a buckle 27. The buckle 27 includes a male buckle 28 and a female buckle 30. As shown in the figure, the male buckle 28 is fixed to one end of the arm belt 26 using a fixing fabric 29, and the female buckle 30 is fixed to the arm belt 26. It is fixed to the other end using a fixing fabric 31. In the case of this arm belt 26, the structure is somewhat more complicated than that of the planar fastener shown in (b), but the fastening force is stronger than that of the planar fastener.
In addition to the buckle 27, the means for connecting the band-like bodies by forming them in a ring is not particularly limited as long as both ends of the band-like body such as buttons can be connected. In addition, these materials need to have sufficient strength, such as thick fabric or artificial leather, because a load from the shaft portion is greatly applied during an operation such as a swing.

Next, a modification of the peripheral part of the armrest will be described with reference to FIG. (In particular, corresponding to claim 4)
FIG. 4 is a conceptual diagram of the peripheral portion of the arm rest of the golf practice device according to the present embodiment.
In FIG. 4, the arm receiver 3 includes a substantially arc-shaped support member 12 that can hold the arc-shaped arm receiver 3, and three springs 32 that are interposed between the support member 12 and the arm receiver 3. To the second shaft 6.
Therefore, when the user's arm is brought into close contact with the arm receiver 3, the arm receiver 3 is moved in the direction of the user's arm, so that the arm receiver 3 moves to the second shaft 6 side, and the springs 32 are both Pressed and biased. When the user slightly removes the force of the arm that is in close contact with the arm receiver 3 or slightly disengages the arm from the arm receiver 3, the biased spring 32 extends, so that the arm receiver 3 is The user can get a feeling that the arm rest 3 fits the arm.
The number of the springs 34 to be installed is not particularly limited, and other than the springs 34, for example, an elastic material such as rubber or sponge can be installed.

Next, an example in which a golf practice instrument is worn on the arm will be described with reference to FIGS.
FIGS. 5A and 5B are conceptual diagrams in the case where the golf practice apparatus according to the present embodiment is put on the arm for putting.
5 (a) and 5 (b), the user 13 wears the golf practice device 1 on the arm from the elbow to the wrist, and FIG. 5 (a) shows that the user 13 is not shown. FIG. 5B shows the posture before the golf ball is hit, and FIG. 5B shows the posture after the user 13 hits the golf ball. Thus, since the distance between the arms is fixed when the golf practice device 1 is mounted on the arm, the golf practice device 1 prevents the user 13 from breaking the pentagon formed by both shoulders, both elbows, and the grip. It is possible to obtain a correct form by assisting in putting and performing repeated practice by attaching the golf practice device 1 to the arm from the elbow to the wrist.

Next, FIGS. 6A to 6C are conceptual diagrams in the case where an approach shot is performed with the golf training apparatus according to the present embodiment being worn on the arm.
6 (a) to 6 (c), the user 13 wears the golf practice device 1 on the arm from the elbow to the wrist as in the case of FIG. 5, and is extremely short such as 20 yards or 40 yards. The approach shot is being done. The user 13 swings up the iron 33 in FIG. 6A, hits a golf ball (not shown) on the face of the iron 33 in FIG. 6B, and hits the golf ball in FIG. 6C. I am taking a post posture. In approach shots aiming at extremely short distances, it is good to swing while holding the triangle formed by both shoulders and both arms, so by attaching the golf practice equipment 1, the distance between both arms is fixed and it is difficult to break this triangle. The posture can be maintained. Therefore, similarly to the case of putting, it is possible to acquire a stable foam by wearing the golf practice device 1 and repeating the practice.
5 and 6, the golf practice apparatus 1 is described as being mounted on the arm from the elbow to the wrist. However, the golf having the long shaft portion 4 on the so-called second arm from the shoulder to the elbow. The practice tool 1 may be worn to practice approach shots and putting.

As described above, the present invention described in claims 1 to 4 can provide a golf practice device that is easy to use and can acquire a correct form in swings such as putting and approach shots. And can be used as a tool for setting up golf driving ranges.
