Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a golf tee having a flexible support section.

(Prior Art) In general, in golf, when hitting a golf ball from the teeing ground, which is the starting point of the hole to be played,
You can hit the ball after placing it on an inverted cone-shaped golf tee.

As shown in Fig. 4, the conventional golf tee has a ball mounting part 4 in the shape of a slat for placing a golf ball 3 on the upper part of a support part 2 formed of hard plastic or wood into an inverted conical shape, and the lower part is A tapered and pointed insertion portion 5 is formed.

When tearing up, insert part 5 of golf tee 1.
After adjusting the height of the ball placement part 4 by inserting it into the ground 6, the golf ball 3 is placed on it. In this state, the golf club is swung to hit the golf ball 3 with the club head 7.

The height of the tee up is the club head 7 to the ground 6
Ideally, the top half of the golf ball 3 should come out when the sole is attached to the ball, but it can be adjusted depending on the foot or iron used, or when you want to hit the golf ball 3 high or low. are doing.

Further, since the golf tee 1 is made of hard plastic or wood, the outer diameter of the upper part of the support portion 2 is increased to increase strength. For this reason, when setting the height of the golf tee 1 low in a place where the ground 6 of the teeing ground is hard, a short tee with a short support section 2 is used because it cannot be inserted deeply. I had to prepare two types of golf tees to play.

Also, it would be ideal if the club head 7 would hit the center of the golf ball 3 when swinging, but if the club head 7 hits the center of the golf ball 3, it would be ideal.
At the same time as it hit, it also hit Golf Tee 1,
Not only did the distance not increase, but the Golf Tee 1 sometimes broke or flew off and was lost.

For this reason, a golf tee 1 has been developed in which the middle of the support 2 is bent to make it difficult for the club head 7 to hit the club head 7, as shown in FIG.

However, since this is made of hard plastic, it has the disadvantage that it is easily broken when hit by the club head 7, and the amount of misalignment between the ball resting part 4 and the embedded part 5 is regulated, and the height cannot be adjusted. There was a problem that the range was also restricted by the length of the vertical insertion part 5 on the lower end side.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) The present invention eliminates the above-mentioned drawbacks, allows the prop to be bent at any angle or curve, can be inserted deeply even on hard ground, and can be freely adjusted in height, making the club head To provide a golf tee that can be held up so that the golf ball does not hit the golf tee so that the club head hits the center of the golf ball to extend the flight distance, and that even if it hits the golf tee, the prop part is deformed so that breakage and loss can be prevented. .

(Means for solving the problem) In the present invention, the outer periphery of a soft metal wire is covered with soft plastic or rubber to form a support section, a ball placement section is provided on the upper part of the support section, and the lower end side is tapered. It is characterized by having a pointed insertion part.

(Function) Next, the function of the present invention will be described. The support column is formed by covering the outer periphery of a soft metal wire with soft plastic or rubber, and can be bent at any angle or curve.

Therefore, when tearing up the ball, the height and displacement of the ball placement part can be adjusted by inserting the insertion part into the ground and bending it at an arbitrary angle or curve.

In addition, the support column is made of soft metal wire that is difficult to break, and the outer diameter is narrow from the neck to the bottom so that it can be easily inserted even on hard ground, the height can be adjusted freely, and it has a long A long tail can also serve as a short tail.

Furthermore, even if the club head hits the golf tee when shot, the support is formed to be flexible, so it will simply bend in the opposite direction due to the impact and will not break, and it will also be less likely to be blown off and lost.

(Example) Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to an example shown in the drawings.

1 to 3 show an embodiment of the present invention, in which the outer periphery of a soft metal wire 8 is covered with a soft plastic 9.
A ball mounting portion 4 is provided on the upper portion of the support portion 2, and a tapered insertion portion 5 is formed at the lower end thereof.

As the soft metal wire 8, as shown in FIG. 1, a flexible metal wire such as a copper wire, an aluminum wire, or a lead wire formed into the shape of a nail, for example, is used.

The support section 2 is made by injection-molding and covering the outer periphery of a nail-shaped soft metal wire 8 with a soft plastic 9, and at the same time, a slit-like ball mounting section 4 is formed on the upper part, and only the lower end is tapered. An insertion portion 5 is formed therein. Therefore, the strut portion 2 is similar to the neck portion 1
The outer diameter is approximately the same from zero to the lower side, and is formed thinner than the neck portion 10 of the conventional golf tee 1.

This golf tee 1 has a support portion 2 made by covering the outer periphery of a soft metal wire 8 with a soft plastic 9, and can be bent at any angle or curve as shown by the imaginary line in FIG.

When teeing up, as shown in Figure 3, insert the insertion part 5 of the golf tee 1 into the ground 6, bend it at an arbitrary angle or curve, adjust the height and misalignment of the ball placement part 4, and then Place ball 3.

The strut part 2 is made of a soft metal wire that is hard to break, and the outer diameter is almost the same from the neck part 10 to the lower part, and the whole is thinner than conventional hard plastic or wood that is thick. It can be easily inserted even on hard places on the ground 6, the height can be freely adjusted, and the long tie can also serve as a short tie.

In addition, even if the club head 7 hits the golf tee 1 when shooting, the support 2 is formed to be flexible, so the impact will bend it in the opposite direction, preventing it from breaking like in the past, and preventing it from being blown off and lost. There will be fewer things.

Although the support portion 2 is shown as having an inverted conical shape, it may also be formed in an inverted pyramid shape.
Further, the soft metal wire 8 is not limited to one wire, but may be a wire-like wire made by twisting and bundling a large number of thin wires, and the material covering the soft metal wire 8 may be rubber.

(Effects of the invention) As explained above, according to the golf tee of the present invention, the support can be bent at any angle, and it can be inserted deeply even on hard ground and the height can be adjusted freely, making it difficult for the club head to hit the golf tee. You can hit the club head to the center of the golf ball to increase flight distance, and
Even if it hits a golf tee, the support only deforms,
Breakage and loss can be prevented.
