Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide a hole cup which can produce any other louder and rhythmical sound than a pleasant sound at a time of hole-in by installing inside the hole cup a sound device generating a large sound by sensing sound or vibration of a dropping ball. CONSTITUTION:A hole cup is assembled by a cup body 1, a ball receiver 3 and a sound device 5, all being disassemble. The sound device 5 is arranged on a calyx plate 23 fixed to a mounting stand 31 and formed of a speaker 25, a cell 27 to supply power to the speaker 25 and a sensor 29 to send an electric signal to an electric circuit. A sound collecting microphone is used as the sensor 29. When a ball drops down on a ball receiving plate 12, its dropping sound is sensed by the sensor 29, and at the same time, sent to an electric circuit where it is amplified. When a switch circuit is started, a voice circuit in the speaker 25 is operated to generate a voice in a chirp of birds which goes out of the speaker 25. Thus, even if the hole is too distant from a place where the ball is striken to hear the ball dropping sound, the sound thus amplified can be heard without fail.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a hole cup embedded in a golf green.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A golf hole cup is made of a metal that produces a vibrating sound, and a support cylinder for holding a flag pole is supported by a pedestal at the center of the lower end of a cylindrical cup body. A plate-shaped ball receiving plate is provided at the height position of the portion, and the ball receiver is attached to the outer cylinder of the support cylinder via an elastic wire rod in a detachably fitted manner.

When a ball is placed in the cup, it falls on the ball receiving plate. Since the ball receiving plate is apt to vibrate and is received by the elastic wire rod, a vibration sound of the drop is generated, which is generated. It echoes into the body of the cup and sounds as a pleasant sound of "corn."

[0004]

According to the above-mentioned conventional golf hole cup, the actual sound is felt by the pleasant sound at the time of hole-in, but the sound is not only small and difficult to hear, but also monotonous. Because of this, I feel that there is a shortage in feeling the hole in.

When the flight distance is long, as in the case of a hole-in-one, the sound cannot be heard, so that the real pleasure of that time cannot be fully enjoyed.
Also, when the ball is hit at a place where the hole cannot be seen, it is not possible to know by sound whether or not the hole is in.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances.
To provide a golf hole cup that not only generates a pleasant sound at the time of hole-in as in the past, but also can generate other sounds as a sound that is relatively louder and rich in rhythm. Aimed at.

[0007]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a cup body in which a support cylinder for holding a flag pole is erected on a lower end portion of a cylinder through a pedestal, and a support cylinder. In a golf hole cup consisting of a ball receiving device in which a ball receiving plate is attached via a plurality of elastic wire rods to a tubular body that is detachably fitted to a ball, the sound or vibration of a ball falling under the ball receiving plate. Is installed, and an acoustic device that generates a louder sound than that is installed.For that acoustic device, attach the collar plate to the ring-shaped mounting base that is detachably fitted to the support tube, and place it on the collar plate. A speaker hole, a sensor, and a battery were installed between the elastic wires to form a golf hole cup.

[0008]

According to the above construction, when the ball enters the cup body, it falls onto the ball receiving plate and the sound of the drop is generated, and the sound or vibration is sensed and louder than that. Sound is emitted from the speaker.

Speakers and sensors that make up the audio device,
Alternatively, since the battery and the like are stored in the space below the ball receiving plate, the function as a golf hole cup is not impeded at all, and the acoustic device is removed by removing the pedestal from the support cylinder. Since it can be removed, there is no problem in cleaning the inside of the cup body.
