Description

  The present invention relates to a golf ball marker used for confirming the position of a ball on a green in golf play.

  Conventionally, golf ball markers have been used to confirm the position of the ball on the green (see, for example, Patent Document 1). This golf ball marker is, for example, a disc-like one with a magnet embedded therein, and when not in use, a magnetic force is applied to the marker holder mounted on the helmet, gloves, belt, etc. of the hat worn by the player. It is attached by being attracted (magnetized). In use, the player is removed from the marker holder and placed on the golf ball.

  However, when a golf ball marker as shown in Patent Document 1 is used, since a disk-shaped object is simply placed on the green, even if there is no inconvenience in normal play, for example, the green has a steep slope. In such a case, it is difficult to confirm the position during long putting and it becomes difficult to confirm the position, and since it is inconspicuous, other players step on the line without knowing. On the other hand, when using a golf ball marker having a complicated shape by combining a plurality of members in order to stand out, there is a disadvantage that other players may feel uncomfortable when it is placed on the green. there were.

  For this reason, a two-piece golf ball marker that can be easily attached to a marker holder such as a hat when not in use and can stand out on the green when in use has been developed (see, for example, Patent Document 2). .

  However, in the conventional golf ball marker disclosed in the above-mentioned Patent Document 2, the outer peripheral shape of the lower marker and the upper marker are different, and there is room for further improvement, such as that there is no sense of unity in appearance. there were.

  Therefore, in the present invention according to claim 1, in the two-piece integrated golf ball marker that uses the upper marker by standing upright on the upper part of the lower marker by magnetic force, the upper marker and the lower marker are formed in the same outer peripheral shape, The lower marker was made heavier than the upper marker.

  Further, in the present invention according to claim 2, in the present invention according to claim 1, the lower marker is formed to be thicker than the upper marker.

  Further, in the present invention according to claim 3, in the present invention according to claim 1 or 2, the lower marker has a through-hole penetrating vertically, and the upper and lower surfaces are exposed to the through-hole. I decided to install it in the state that I let it.

  According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in the present invention according to any one of the first to third aspects, the lower marker is formed such that a region in which the upper marker is erected is formed in a concave shape.

  And in this invention, there exists an effect described below.

  That is, in the present invention, since the upper marker and the lower marker are formed in the same outer peripheral shape, when the upper marker and the lower marker are overlapped, a sense of unity is produced in appearance, and as one golf ball marker It can be handled and usability can be improved.

  In addition, in the present invention, since the lower marker is formed to be heavier than the upper marker, when the upper marker is used upright on the upper part of the lower marker, the position of the center of gravity is lowered to improve the overall stability. In addition, even if a strong wind blows, only the upper marker rolls off the lower marker, and the position of the lower marker is not shifted.

  In particular, when the lower marker is formed to be thicker than the upper marker, the upper marker and the lower marker can be distinguished from each other in appearance, and usability can be improved.

  Further, when a through hole penetrating vertically is provided in the lower marker and the magnet is attached to the through hole with both the upper and lower surfaces exposed, manufacturing can be facilitated.

  Furthermore, when the region for erecting the upper marker of the lower marker is formed in a concave shape, the upper marker can be prevented from rolling off from the lower marker.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS It is a figure for demonstrating the golf ball marker of this invention, (a) is each center sectional drawing of a lower marker and an upper marker, (b) is the top view which looked at the lower marker and the upper marker from the upper direction, respectively (c) These are perspective views of a lower marker and an upper marker. (A) is a central sectional view showing the state of the first example in which the lower surface of the upper marker is superimposed on the upper surface of the lower marker, and (b) is the state of the second example in which the lower surface of the upper marker is superimposed on the lower surface of the lower marker. (C) is a perspective view showing a state of (a) or (b), (d) is a central sectional view showing a state of a third example in which an upper marker is superimposed on another lower marker. is there. It is a perspective view which shows the state which made the upper marker stand upright on the lower marker by adsorb | sucking the end surface of an upper marker on the magnet of a lower marker by magnetic force.

  Hereinafter, a specific configuration of a two-piece integrated golf ball marker according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  1A and 1B are views for explaining a golf ball marker, in which FIG. 1A is a central sectional view of a lower marker and an upper marker, FIG. 1B is a plan view of the lower marker and the upper marker as viewed from above, and FIG. These are perspective views of a lower marker and an upper marker.

  In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes that the plane is formed in a circular shape, and a through hole having a circular plane is formed in the central portion thereof, and the thickness is formed to be thin, for example, 1.2 mm or less. It is a flat lower marker. The lower marker 1 is formed of, for example, a stainless steel plate, but may be formed of a non-magnetic material such as an aluminum plate or a plastic plate. ). A cylindrical magnet 2 is inserted into the central through hole 1a of the lower marker 1 and fixed with an adhesive or the like (note that the upper and lower surfaces of the magnet 2 are exposed). Preferably). In addition, a protrusion (protrusion preventing protrusion) 1b is formed on the peripheral edge of the through hole 1a of the lower marker 1 so as to abut against and support the peripheral edge of the magnet 2.

  Further, in FIG. 1, 3 is formed of a magnetic material such as an iron plate so as to have a plane having the same shape and size as the lower marker 1 and has a thickness of 1 mm or less. It is the flat-shaped upper marker currently formed. The upper marker 3 has a predetermined decoration on its upper surface with paint or the like (desirably, a magnetic material is exposed on the back surface and the outer peripheral end surface of the upper marker 3, but it allows magnetic force to pass through. Predetermined decoration may be given with paint of easy material). The upper marker 3 is lighter and thinner than the lower marker 1.

  Next, a method for using the golf ball marker will be described. First, when the golf ball marker is not used, the lower surface of the upper marker 3 is magnetically attracted to the upper surface of the magnet 2 of the lower marker 1 so that the lower surface of the upper marker 3 overlaps the upper surface of the lower marker 1. Both are made to be seen integrally (state shown in FIGS. 2A, 2B, and 2C). In this state, it is attached to a marker holder attached to, for example, a hat or a belt by a method such as magnetic adsorption. In FIG. 2A, as a first example in which the lower surface of the upper marker is superimposed on the upper surface of the lower marker, a state where the protrusion (protrusion for preventing omission) 1b is arranged on the upper marker 3 side is shown. Show. On the other hand, in FIG. 2B, as a second example in which the lower surface of the upper marker is superimposed on the upper surface of the lower marker, a protrusion (protrusion preventing protrusion) 1b is arranged on the side opposite to the upper marker 3. It shows the state.

  Next, when using a golf ball marker, as shown in FIG. 2 (c), the golf ball marker may be placed on the green with the two being integrated (at least appearing to be integrated). However, when it is desired to make it stand out for reasons such as being far away, the outer end surface 3a of the upper marker 3 is magnetically placed on the magnet 2 of the lower marker 1 as shown in FIG. By adsorbing, the plane (upper surface and lower surface) of the upper marker 3 stands upright on the upper surface of the lower marker 1. Here, in the lower marker 1 shown in FIG. 1, a protrusion (protrusion prevention protrusion) 1 b is formed on the peripheral edge of the through hole 1 a to form a region in which the upper marker 3 is erected in a concave shape. As shown in (d), the upper and lower surfaces of the lower marker 1 and the magnet 2 may be formed on a flat surface without forming the protrusion 1b.

  Thus, when the upper marker 3 is made to stand upright on the lower marker 1, the golf ball marker can be made conspicuous, so that the green generated when using the conventional golf ball marker is a steep slope. It is possible to effectively prevent inconveniences such as when it is difficult to see the position and it is difficult to confirm the position at the time of a long putt or when it is inconspicuous, and other players step on the line without knowing it. Since it is easy to check the presence of the ball marker, it is easy to check the pat line and it is possible to contribute to speeding up and manners.

  Further, in the golf ball marker, the upper marker 3 can be attached to the lower marker 1 only by “relatively weak force” that attracts the end surface 3a of the upper marker 3 onto the magnet 2 of the lower marker 1 by magnetic force. For example, when a strong wind blows, the attraction force (relatively weak force) due to the magnetic force is easily broken and the upper marker 3 falls on the lower marker 1. The inconvenience that the position of the entire golf ball marker including the lower marker 1 is moved by strong wind due to the strong wind of the upper marker 3 can be prevented.

  Further, the golf ball marker has a thin flat plate-like lower marker 1 having a thickness of, for example, 1.2 mm as described above, and a plane having the same shape and size as the lower marker 1 and has a thickness of, for example, 1 mm. Since the golf ball marker is composed of the following thin flat plate-shaped upper marker 3, when the upper marker 3 is used in a state of being superimposed on the lower marker 1, both players are integrated with each other. Since it will be visible only as “one thin flat plate golf ball marker”, it will be uncomfortable to other players (when using a golf ball marker of a complicated form with multiple members, etc. To prevent the player from feeling uncomfortable).

  As described above, in the present invention, the upper marker 3 and the lower marker 1 are formed in the same outer peripheral shape. Therefore, in the present invention, when the upper marker 3 and the lower marker 1 are overlapped, a sense of unity is produced on the appearance, and it can be handled as a single golf ball marker, and usability can be improved.

  In addition, in the present invention, since the lower marker 1 is formed to be heavier than the upper marker 3, when the upper marker 3 is used upright on the lower marker 1, the position of the center of gravity becomes lower and stable overall. The feeling can be improved, and even if a strong wind blows, only the upper marker 3 rolls from the lower marker 1 and the position of the lower marker 1 does not shift.

  Further, in the present invention, since the lower marker 1 is formed thicker (thicker) than the upper marker 3, the upper marker 3 and the lower marker 1 can be distinguished from each other in appearance, thereby improving usability. Can be made.

  In the present invention, the lower marker 1 is provided with a through-hole 1a penetrating vertically, and the magnet 2 is attached to the through-hole 1a with both the upper and lower surfaces exposed. be able to.

  Furthermore, in this invention, since the area | region which makes the upper marker 3 of the lower marker 1 stand upright is formed in concave shape, it can prevent that the upper marker 3 rolls off from the lower marker 1 beforehand.

  As mentioned above, although this invention was demonstrated, each component which comprises this invention and this invention is not limited to the said structure, Various correction and change are possible. For example, the lower marker 1 and the upper marker 3 are both formed in a circular plane, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, these planes are hexagonal and octagonal. You may make it form in polygonal shapes, such as a shape. The upper and lower surfaces of the magnet 2 are exposed. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the upper surface and / or the lower surface of the magnet 2 are coated with paint (which is easy to pass magnetic force). It may be decorated with a material). Furthermore, the magnetic material is exposed on the back surface and the outer peripheral side of the upper marker 3 simply by applying a predetermined decoration on the upper surface of the upper marker 3, but in the present invention, the rear surface and the outer peripheral side of the upper marker 3 are exposed. Of course, it may be decorated with paint (preferably made of a material that allows easy passage of magnetic force).
