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.

  For example, as disclosed in Patent Document 1, the golf ball marker has a horizontal disk shape and has a configuration in which a light emitter is provided on the top.

Utility Model Registration No. 3148870

  However, when the golf ball marker as shown in the above-mentioned conventional patent document 1 is tried, since the light emitter is provided on the upper portion, when reading a line from the horizontal direction opposite to the cup, the light emitter is I found that it was difficult to see.

  The present invention has been made paying attention to such problems of the prior art, and an object of the present invention is to provide a golf ball marker that can emit light in a horizontal direction on a green when in use.

  Therefore, in the present invention according to claim 1, in the golf ball marker, the upper marker and the lower marker that are attracted to each other by magnetic force constitute the golf ball marker, and the upper marker is placed vertically on the lower marker in the horizontal state. The posture can be changed between the standing posture and the lying posture placed horizontally, and a light emitter is provided on the ceiling portion of the upper marker in the horizontal state.

  Further, in the present invention according to claim 2, in the present invention according to claim 1, the switch for turning off the light emitter by pressing upward on the bottom of the upper marker in the horizontal state is located below the bottom. The light-emitting body is turned off when the upper marker is in the lying posture, and the light-emitting body is turned on when the upper marker is in the standing posture.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the present invention according to the second aspect, the upper marker is provided with a concave portion capable of accommodating a switch at the bottom while the ceiling portion of the lower marker in a horizontal state is a flat surface. When the upper marker is placed on the ceiling of the lower marker, the illuminator is turned off while the illuminator is turned on when the upper marker is placed on the bottom of the lower marker. Decided to configure.

  In the present invention, when not in use, the lower surface of the upper marker is magnetically attracted to the upper surface of the lower marker, so that the lower surface of the upper marker overlaps with the upper surface of the lower marker so that the entire surface can be seen as a whole. A light emitting body such as an LED is caused to emit light in a horizontal direction in a lying posture that is attracted to the lower surface side of the marker or in an upright posture in which the end surface of the upper marker is upright on the upper surface of the lower marker.

  For this reason, in the present invention, when the green that has been generated when using the conventional golf ball marker is steep or long putting, it is difficult to see the position on the line reading from the opposite side of the cup. It is possible to effectively prevent inconveniences such as staggering or having other players step on the pat line.

  Furthermore, since the presence of the golf ball marker is dramatically improved, a pad line can be easily formed, and the problem of putting, which is the biggest problem in golf, can be solved.

The perspective view which shows a golf ball marker. FIG. Sectional drawing in the lying posture (at the time of light extinction) of a golf ball marker. Sectional drawing in the standing posture (at the time of lighting) of a golf ball marker. Sectional drawing in the lying posture (at the time of lighting) of a golf ball marker.

  The golf ball marker according to the present invention has a circular or polygonal plane, a lower marker having a magnet at the center, a light-emitting body such as a battery or LED having the same shape as the lower marker, and a predetermined upper surface. The upper marker is decorated, and the lower marker and the upper marker are attracted by a magnet. Also, the upper marker and the lower marker are separated so that the light emitter emits light. When not in use, the lower surface of the upper marker is attracted to the upper surface side of the lower marker so that the entire marker can be seen as a single unit, but no light is emitted. In use, the upper marker is attached to the lower surface of the lower marker by adhering the lower surface of the lower marker to the lower surface of the lower marker or by magnetically adhering the end surface of the upper marker to the upper surface of the magnet of the lower marker. It is characterized in that light can be emitted in the horizontal direction while standing upright.

  A specific form for carrying out the present invention is, for example, a form described in the following first embodiment.

  FIGS. 1-5 is the figure which showed the golf ball marker 1 by Example 1 of this invention.

  The golf ball marker 1 includes an upper marker 2 and a lower marker 3 that are attracted to each other by magnetic force.

  The golf ball marker 1 can be changed in posture between a standing posture in which the upper marker 2 is vertically placed on the upper portion of the lower marker 3 in the horizontal state and a lying posture in which the upper marker 2 is horizontally placed. A light emitter 4 such as an LED is provided on the ceiling.

  In addition, the golf ball marker 1 has a switch 5 that protrudes downward from the bottom surface by pressing the light emitting body 4 off by pressing upward on the bottom of the upper marker 2 in a horizontal state.

  In the golf ball marker 1, the light emitter 4 is turned off when the upper marker 2 is in the lying posture (see FIG. 3), while the light emitter 4 is turned on when the upper marker 2 is in the standing posture (see FIG. 4). I am doing so.

  Further, the golf ball marker 1 has a flat surface at the bottom of the lower marker 3 in the horizontal state and a recess 6 capable of accommodating the switch 5 at the bottom, so that the upper marker 2 is in the lying position even when the upper marker 2 is in the lying posture. When 2 is placed on the ceiling of the lower marker 3, the light emitter 4 is turned off (see FIG. 3). On the other hand, when the upper marker 2 is placed on the bottom of the lower marker 3, the light emitter 4 is turned on. (See FIG. 5).

  The lower marker 3 has a circular plane, a through hole 7 having a circular plane is formed at the center thereof, and a cylindrical magnet 8 is inserted and fixed with an adhesive or the like. A flange 9 is formed in the through hole 7, and the recess 6 is formed below the magnet 8 with the magnet 8 inserted into the through hole 7.

  In the figure, 10 is a battery, 11 and 12 are a pair of left and right lead wires of the light emitter 4, 13 is a very thin plate spring, and one lead wire 11 and the upper electrode of the battery 10 are connected to each other by a conductive adhesive. 14, the other lead wire 12 and the spring are electrically connected, the switch 5 is formed at the movable portion at the tip of the spring 13, and the contact 15 is formed at the tip of the spring 13. The pedestal 16 is formed of a disk-shaped, electrically conductive and magnetic material having a thickness of 1.2 mm with a central portion penetrating, and forms a flange 17 having a thickness of 0.1 mm. The pedestal 16 is connected to the lower electrode of the battery 10 with a conductive adhesive 18.

  The very thin plate-like spring 13 is connected to the pedestal 16 by the contact point 15 by the repulsive force of the spring, but the part that needs to be insulated is insulated by a very thin insulating film 19. 20 is a resin for waterproofing & decoration

  Next, the usage method of the golf ball marker 1 of the present Example 1 is demonstrated. First, when the golf ball marker 1 of Example 1 is not used, the lower surface of the upper marker 2 is magnetically attracted to the upper surface of the lower marker 3 so that they can be seen together (see FIG. 3). ). Then, in this state, for example, it is attached by magnetic adsorption to a marker holder attached to a hat or the like.

  Next, when the golf ball marker of Example 1 is used, it may be marked on the green as shown in FIG. 3 while both are integrated, but when it is cloudy or rainy 5 is used by emitting light, and in the case of a long putt or the like, as shown in FIG. 4, the upper marker 2 is set upright on the lower marker 3 to emit light in the horizontal direction.

  Thus, when the upper marker 2 stands upright on the lower marker 3 and emits light in the horizontal direction, the pat line can be clearly confirmed, which occurs when the conventional golf ball marker is used. It is easy to see when the green is steep or long putting, effectively preventing other players from accidentally stepping on the line, and putting is the biggest golf problem. Is a dramatic improvement.
