Description

  The present invention relates to a golf tee that does not break or lose a tee during a golf tee shot.

  When golfing a tee shot, a golf club is usually hit with a golf ball placed on the tee. Common tees are composed of an insertion part to be inserted into the ground and a placement part on which a golf ball is placed, and many are made of wood or plastic, which are integrally formed as a whole.

  However, a tee made of wood or plastic has a problem that when the ball is hit, the tee flies along with the ball due to the hit of the club head, which takes time and effort. Also, because the tee itself was smashed, it sometimes broke and could not be used. Therefore, it was necessary to carry a plurality of tees during golf play.

  In order to solve these problems, in Patent Document 1, the height can be freely adjusted with one tee, and the resistance to the striking force is weakened and the tee is blown even when subjected to a lateral strike. Golf tees have been reported that are less likely to end up.

  The golf tee described in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1 has a leg portion having a tapered tip and a flange projecting laterally on the other end, and a support extending from the flange in a direction opposite to the tip. And a ball receiving member having a ball receiving portion formed at one end and having an axial hole that engages with the supporting shaft portion of the tee body, the supporting shaft of the tee body. A male screw is formed on the outer surface of the part, and a female screw is formed in the axial hole of the ball receiving member to engage with the male screw of the support shaft part of the tee body. Accordingly, the tee body can be held at different positions in an axial direction with respect to the support shaft portion of the tee body.

  However, the golf tee disclosed in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1 has a problem that the structure is complicated and the number of manufacturing steps increases, leading to an increase in cost. In addition, when hitting the ball, there is a concern that the tee body may be blown from the leg depending on the hit of the club head. In this case, the tee body must be searched for and reattached to the leg. It could be a loss of time.

  Therefore, the object of the present invention is to have a simple structure golf tee composed of an insertion portion to be inserted into the ground and a placement portion on which a golf ball is placed. There is no golf tee to offer.

  In order to solve the above problems, a golf tee of the present invention is a golf tee comprising an insertion part to be inserted into the ground and a placement part on which a golf ball is placed, and the insertion part is a hard member, Is a flexible member.

  In the golf tee of the present invention, the insertion portion is preferably formed of a hard resin.

  Moreover, the above-mentioned mounting part is preferably formed of a soft resin having flexibility.

  Furthermore, you may form the said description part with a soft rubber.

  According to the golf tee of the present invention, when a golf ball is hit with a golf club in a state where the golf ball is placed on the placement portion, the insertion portion made of a hard member remains unchanged, and only the placement portion made of a flexible member bends. It bends in a bent state and then is restored to its original state. Therefore, there is no possibility that the tee breaks during the tee shot.

In addition, since the insertion part is formed of a hard member, it is easy to insert into the ground, and when hitting a ball, the tee will come out from the ground and be blown even if a strong impact is applied to the placement part. Is reduced.

1 is an overall perspective view of a golf tee of the present invention. It is a front view of the golf tee shown in FIG. It is sectional drawing of the golf tee shown in FIG. It is a side view which shows the use condition of the golf tee of this invention. It is explanatory drawing which shows the state which hit the ball.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the golf tee of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  A golf tee 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention shown in the drawings includes an insertion portion 2 to be inserted into the ground and a placement portion 3 on which a golf ball B is placed. The insertion portion 2 is a hard member, and the placement portion 3 is Each is made of a flexible member. Thereby, it is possible to reduce the tee from being broken or lost during a tee shot.

  The insertion portion 2 constituting the golf tee 1 of the present invention has a tapered shape with a tapered tip so that the golf tee 1 can be easily inserted into the ground. In addition, the placement portion 3 has a funnel shape with a wide opening at the top, and a recess 4 in which the golf ball B is placed is formed in the upper center portion. Further, in the illustrated example, a plurality of holding bodies 5 are installed on the upper peripheral edge of the recess 4 in order to hold the golf ball B well. If possible, only the recess 4 may be provided.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the insertion portion 2 and the placement portion 3 are formed in a state where the upper and lower sides are connected via the connection portion 6. However, the insertion portion 2 and the placement portion 3 are connected to the filler. Alternatively, it may be formed integrally by changing the amount of plasticizer added.

  In particular, the hard member constituting the plug-in portion 2 is preferably formed of a hard resin. Examples of the material for the hard resin include thermoplastic resins such as ethylene, propylene, vinyl chloride, styrene, and amide, thermosetting resins such as melamine resin, phenol resin, and acrylic resin.

  Moreover, the flexible member which comprises the mounting part 3 is formed with the soft resin which has a softness | flexibility rather than the insertion part 2. FIG. Examples of the soft resin material include polyolefin resins, ester resins, polyurethane resins, polyamide resins, and the like that are softly formed by increasing the amount of plasticizer than the hard resin of the insertion portion 2.

  Further, the mounting portion 3 may be formed of a soft rubber that is more flexible than the insertion portion 2. Examples of the soft rubber include synthetic rubber such as fluorine rubber, silicone rubber, urethane rubber, and butyl rubber, and natural rubber.

  In addition, the flexible member which forms the mounting part 3 is a material which has flexibility more than the insertion part 2, and if it bends in the state bent at the time of hitting, it will not be limited to said material. .

  As an example of the molding of the golf tee 1, first, the insertion portion 2 is formed of a hard member having high hardness. At this time, in order to enhance the connection with the placement unit 3, for example, an uneven connection member 7 is formed on the upper portion of the insertion unit 2.

  Next, the mounting portion 3 made of a flexible member having flexibility is connected to the upper portion of the insertion portion 2. At this time, the placement portion 3 can be suitably formed by injecting a flexible member into the upper portion of the insertion portion 2 by insert molding. In addition, when inserting this golf tee 1 in the ground, it is preferable for this connection material 7 to also be in the ground side for prevention of breakage. Or as above-mentioned, you may form the insertion part 2 and the mounting part 3 integrally by changing the addition amount of a filler or a plasticizer.

  Since the insertion portion 2 is a hard member and the placement portion 3 is a flexible member, when the golf ball B is hit with a golf club from a state where the golf ball B is placed on the placement portion 3, the placement portion 3 made of the flexible member. After being bent in a bent state, it is restored to its original state, so there is no possibility that the tee will break during a tee shot.

  Moreover, since the insertion part 2 is formed of a hard member, it can be easily inserted into the ground, and even when the placement part 3 receives a strong hit when hitting, the force is applied to the placement part. 3 is absorbed, and the insertion part 2 does not escape from the ground and is not blown.

  Next, a method for using the golf tee of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

  In FIG. 4, the state which inserted the insertion part 2 of the golf tee 1 in the ground is shown. As shown in the drawing, it is preferable that the entire insertion portion 2 and the lower portion of the placement portion 3 are embedded in the ground. After inserting the insertion portion 2 into the ground, the golf ball B is placed on the placement portion 3. In this state, the golf ball B is hit with a golf club like a normal tee shot.

  FIG. 5 shows a state immediately after hitting a golf ball B with a golf club. When the golf club hits the golf ball, the golf ball B is hit forward, and at the same time, the placement portion 3 of the golf tee 1 is hit forward. Then, the mounting part 3 formed of the flexible member is bent in a bent state and then restored to the original state. Therefore, even if the strong impact by a golf club is received, the mounting part 3 can absorb the force. Therefore, the insertion part 2 formed of the hard member does not escape from the ground and is not blown or broken.

  As described above, according to the golf tee of the present invention, the insertion portion 2 to be inserted into the ground and the placement portion 3 on which the golf ball B is placed are composed of the insertion portion 2 as a hard member, and the placement portion 3 is inserted. Since the flexible member is more flexible than the insertion portion 2, even when the golf ball B is hit with a golf club, the placement portion 3 is not broken or crushed. There is no escape or breakage from the ground. This eliminates the need to carry multiple tees during play and eliminates the need to search for tees.
