Abstract

PURPOSE:To easily house and take out a ball by providing a hole being smaller than the diameter of the ball capable of extruding the ball on one wall surface of a container, and providing plural notches on the position of the diameter of the ball in the periphery of the hole being smaller than the diameter of the ball provided on the flexible wall surface opposed to this hole. CONSTITUTION:One wall surface of a container 1 is constituted of a wall member provided with a hole 5 through which a ball can be extruded with fingers, but which is smaller than the diameter of the ball, and the wall surface opposed to the hole 5 is constituted of a flexible wall member provided with a ball taking-in/out port 2 having a hole being smaller than the diameter of the ball, and also, having plural notches 3 to a position corresponding roughly to the diameter of the ball in the periphery of the hole. Also, on other wall surface than these wall members, a hook 6 or a belt penetrating member is provided, and a tee holding part 7 and a marker holding part are provided additionally. In such a manner, the portable ball container which is extremely convenient for carrying a ball, etc., and by which the ball can be housed and taken out easily and the presence of the ball is not felt is obtained.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a portable ball storage container, and more particularly to a portable golf ball storage container.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a golf ball or a tennis ball has been played by putting one or two in a pocket of pants or pants, but the presence of the ball gives the player a cramped feeling. In addition, there is a fatal defect that a skirt wearer does not have an appropriate ball storage area, and even if the ball storage area is intentionally provided, the style is bad and the usability is not good.

[0003]

[Objective] An object of the present invention is to carry a ball such as a golf ball or a tennis ball, which is extremely convenient for carrying around, and is very easy to store and take out the ball so that the presence of the ball is not felt. The point is to provide a vessel.

[0004]

The present invention comprises a ball container having one or more chambers for accommodating balls one by one, and one wall surface of the container has a hole smaller than the diameter of the ball that can be pushed out by a finger. A wall member having a wall member facing the hole, the wall surface facing the hole has a hole smaller than the diameter of the ball, and the periphery of the hole has a plurality of notches up to a position substantially corresponding to the diameter of the ball. And a hook or belt penetrating member provided on a wall surface other than the two kinds of wall members. The portable ball storage device can be used as a portable golf ball storage device, a portable tennis ball storage device, or the like. In the case of a golf ball storage device, a tee holding portion and / or a marker holding portion can be attached.

It is usually preferable to provide two ball storage chambers provided in the ball storage container in terms of size, but the number is not limited to this. It is preferable that the ball storage chambers are vertically stacked, but the present invention is not limited to this. The shape of the ball storage device is basically a quadrangular prism, but may be a polygonal prism such as a pentagonal prism or a hexagonal prism. Depending on the case, it may be a cylinder or an elliptic cylinder. Further, if the corner of the ball storage device is sharp, it may be damaged or hurt when touching an arm or hand, so it is preferable to add a radius to the corner. Although the materials forming the ball container may be the same, it is important that at least the wall material at which the balls are put in and taken out is also supple so that the balls can be put in and taken out.
Specific examples of the material include various rubber materials and flexible synthetic resins.

The hole for pushing the ball may have any shape as long as the ball does not spill out and can be pushed smoothly with a finger. The shape of the hole may be circular, triangular or square. It may be polygonal. The hole for putting in and out the ball is also a shape that allows the ball to be smoothly put in and out, and if the ball does not spill out unless pushed from the hole on the opposite side, that shape There is no restriction, and it may be circular or polygonal such as triangle or quadrangle. It is preferable that the notches provided in this are provided at equal intervals in a radial pattern from the center of the hole, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the hole is semicircular and parallel to the straight line of the semicircle from 2 to 4
Modifications such as making a book cut are also possible. For the width of the cut, an appropriate width is selected depending on the material and thickness of the wall material, the size of the ball, the shape and size of the hole. According to the present invention, a large number of so-called flexible fins formed around the hole by cutting are used to move the ball in and out. The resistance associated with the insertion and removal of the ball can be freely adjusted by the flexibility and thickness of the material forming the wall surface, the shape and size of the hole, and the number, depth and width of the cuts.

Hooks and belt penetrating members for hooking on a belt or skirt are attached to the wall surface other than the wall surface into which the finger is inserted and the wall surface into and out of which the ball is inserted. Examples of the material constituting these include metals and synthetic resins.

When used as a portable golf ball storage device, a wall surface where the storage device is not used is preferable, but it is preferable to attach a tee holding portion to any wall surface. Further, instead of the tee holding portion, or together with the tee holding portion, a marker holding portion can be attached. For the marker holding portion, for example, it is sufficient to provide a hole having a diameter slightly smaller than that of the marker on a wall surface having arbitrary flexibility.
