[Prior Art]

 Conventionally, in a golf game, when the ball is turned on the green, a golf marker made of a disc-shaped body such as a coin is placed at the position of the ball to pick up the ball. Also, when the ball is turned on to the green, a dent is created in the green due to the impact of the ball, so the dent of the green was repaired by a small fork made of an elongated U-shaped flat plate.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, since the fork was usually inserted in the belt or stored in the pocket, it took time to remove it from the belt or the pocket. Furthermore, since the tip of the fork is sharp to some extent, the tip of the fork may be caught in the belt or pocket and damage the belt or pocket.

In addition, after the ball turned on on the green is cupped in and holed out, writing is performed on the score card using a writing instrument. The writing instrument is also stored in the pocket as it is, or inserted in the score card. Since it was stored in the pocket, it took a lot of time to take it out, and there was a risk that the writing instrument would stain the pocket and scorecard.

This invention solves the above-mentioned problems, and a fork and a writing instrument can be taken out integrally with a golf marker, and the fork and the writing instrument can prevent a pocket or the like from being damaged or soiled. The purpose is to provide a marker for use.

【Example】

 1 and 2 show a first embodiment of a golf marker according to the present invention. FIG. 1 is a side view of the marker and FIG. 2 is a bottom view thereof. The marker 1 is composed of a marker body 2, a fork 3 and a writing instrument 4.

The marker body 2 is made of a synthetic resin or the like, and is formed into a disc shape having a diameter of 36 mm and a predetermined thickness, for example. The fork 3 is for repairing the recess of the green, and is formed of a substantially U-shaped flat plate. Further, one end of the fork 3 is bent into a tubular shape, and a pivot portion 31 through which a shaft 30 is passed is formed in the tubular portion. In the vicinity of the periphery of the back surface 20 of the marker body 2, cylindrical bearing portions 21 are formed at positions corresponding to both ends of the pivot portion 31, and the shaft 30 is rotatably supported by the bearing portions 21. As a result, the fork 3 is rotatably supported on the back surface 20 of the marker body 2.

As shown in FIG. 2, when the fork 3 is rotated to a position where it comes into contact with the back surface 20 of the marker body 2 (hereinafter referred to as a storage position), the tip of the extending piece 32 is fixed. It is formed in a size that does not protrude from the peripheral edge of the marker body 2. As a result, even if the fork 3 is set in the storage position and the marker 1 is stored in the pocket, the tip of the extending piece 32 is prevented from being caught in the pocket. The shape of the fork 3 is not limited to that shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, and the extension piece 32 may be only one piece or three or more pieces.

The fork 3 is rotated from the storage position (solid line A in FIG. 1) to the projection position (two-dot chain line B in FIG. 1) opposite to the storage position by sandwiching the bearing portion 21. As a result, the extension piece 32 projects from the peripheral edge of the back surface 20 of the marker body 2. In this protruding state, the fork 3 is used to repair the depression of the green.

The writing instrument 4 has a pencil lead S held at a tip 40 thereof, a rear end thereof bent into a cylinder, and a pivot portion 42 through which a shaft 41 is inserted is formed in the cylinder. A cylindrical bearing portion 22 is formed near the periphery of the back surface 20 of the marker body 2 and across the center of the marker body 2 from the opposite side of the bearing portion 21 at positions corresponding to both ends of the pivot portion 42. The shaft 41 is supported by the bearing portion 22. As a result, the writing instrument 4 is rotatably supported by the back surface 20 of the marker body 2. In addition, the writing instrument 4 is set to a size such that the writing instrument 4 can be stored between the two extending pieces 32 without contacting the fork 3 while holding the pencil lead S.

In addition, a recess 23 is provided in the back surface 20 of the marker body 2 at a position where the writing tool 4 abuts, and a recess 23 into which the writing tool 4 holding the pencil lead S can be fitted is provided. Since the writing instrument 4 is stored in the pen, the pencil lead S is prevented from protruding below the fork 3. As a result, even if the fork 3 and the writing instrument 4 are set to the storage position and the marker 1 is stored in the pocket, the pocket is prevented from being soiled by the pencil lead S.

Then, the writing instrument 4 has a protruding position (a two-dot chain line in FIG. 1) opposite to the storage position from the storage position (solid line C in FIG. 1) with the bearing portion 21 shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. By being rotated up to D), the tip 40 holding the pencil lead S projects from the peripheral edge of the back surface 20 of the marker body 2. In this protruding state, writing on a score card or the like is performed using the writing instrument 4.

In this way, the marker 1, the fork 3 and the writing instrument 4 required from the time the ball turns on the green to the time when the ball is holed out and the score is written on the score card are integrated. Compared with the case of separately forming and putting in and out in a pocket or the like, the work of putting in and out is reduced. Further, since the fork 3 and the writing instrument 4 are housed in the back surface 20 of the marker body 2 and do not project from the peripheral edge of the back surface 20, the extension piece 32 of the fork 3 and the pencil lead S held by the writing instrument 4 are in the pocket. It is prevented from being caught by, so that the pocket is not damaged and the pencil lead S does not stain it. Furthermore, since the marker body 2 is relatively large, for example, 36 mm in diameter as described above, it will not be lost even if the marker 1 is placed on the green.

3 to 5 show a second embodiment of the golf marker, FIG. 3 is a side view of the marker 1a, FIG. 4 is a bottom view, and FIG. 5 is a VV sectional view of FIG. The same reference numerals as those in FIGS. 1 and 2 serve the same functions.

In the second embodiment, the fork 3 has the same structure as the above embodiment, but the writing instrument 4a is slidably movable. That is, as shown in FIG. 5, the back surface 20 of the marker body 2 is provided with, for example, a guide groove 24 having a reverse T-shaped cross section. The guide groove 24 is formed at an intermediate position between the extending pieces 32 of the fork 3 at the storage position so as to be parallel to the extending pieces 32. Further, in the guide groove 24, the writing instrument 4a holding the pencil lead S from the storage position (solid line E in FIG. 4) between the extended pieces 32 of the fork 3 has the tip 40 a predetermined length from the main body of the marker. The size is set so that it can be moved to the protruding position (two-dot chain line F in FIG. 4) projecting from the peripheral edge of the back surface 20 of No. 2.

As shown in FIG. 5, the writing instrument 4 a is formed in a shape that fits in the guide groove 24, and is slidable along the guide groove 24. Then, the writing instrument 4a is slid to the above-mentioned protruding position, whereby writing on a score card or the like is performed using the writing instrument 4a. Further, the writing instrument 4 a has a tip portion 40 formed so that the pencil lead S is located in the guide groove 24 in the storage position. Therefore, even if the writing instrument 4a is set to the storage position and the marker 1a is stored in the pocket, the lead S of the lead brush is in the guide groove 24, so that the pocket S is prevented from being soiled by the lead S of the pencil. Get off.

In this way, since the writing instrument 4a can be slid between the storage position and the protruding position, for example, by holding the marker 1a with one hand and sliding the writing instrument 4a with the thumb, The tip 40 holding the core S can be projected from the peripheral edge of the back surface 20 of the marker main body 2 or returned to the storage position, and the operability of the writing instrument 4a is good.

FIG. 6 shows a third embodiment of the golf marker. In this embodiment, the fork 3a and the writing instrument 4b are slidable. That is, guide grooves 25 1 and 26 2 into which the fork 3 a and the writing instrument 4 b are fitted are provided in parallel with each other on the left and right of the back surface 20 of the marker body 2. These guide grooves 25 and 26 are formed, for example, in an inverted T-shape in cross section as shown in FIG. 5, and the fork 3a and the writing instrument 4b are formed in shapes that fit into the guide grooves 25 and 26, respectively. There is. The guide groove 25 moves from the storage position of the back surface 20 of the marker body 2 (two-dot chain line G in FIG. 6) to the projection position (solid line H of FIG. 6) where the fork 3a projects from the peripheral edge of the back surface 20 of the marker body 2. It is set to the size possible. The guide groove 26 is set to a size such that the writing instrument 4b can be moved from the storage position of the back surface 20 (two-dot chain line I in FIG. 6) to the projecting position (solid line J in FIG. 6). In addition, the guide groove 25 and the guide groove 26 are set at an interval such that the fork 3a and the writing instrument 4b do not come into contact with each other. Further, the fork 3a and the writing instrument 4b are set so as not to project from the peripheral edge of the back surface 20 of the marker body 2 in the storage position.

As described above, the fork 3a and the writing instrument 4b can be projected from the peripheral edge of the back surface 20 of the marker main body 2 by holding the marker 1a with one hand and sliding with the thumb, respectively, or the above-mentioned storage position. Therefore, the operability of the fork 3a and the writing instrument 4b is good.

7 and 8 show a fourth embodiment of the golf marker. In this embodiment, the fork 3b and the writing instrument 4c are arranged so as to rotate in the surface direction of the back surface 20 of the marker main body 2, respectively. Is becoming

The marker body 2 is formed such that one semicircular portion 27a (right side in FIG. 7) is thick and the other semicircular portion 27b (left side in FIG. 7) is thin. A rear end of the fork 3b is rotatably supported by a pin 5 on the semicircular portion 27a, and a writing instrument 4c is rotatably supported by a pin 6 on the rear end of the semicircular portion 27b. It is supported. As a result, when the writing instrument 4c is located at the storage position (solid line L 1 in FIG. 7) within the peripheral edge of the semicircular portion 27b, the writing instrument 4c projects in the thickness direction of the marker body 2 as shown in FIG. Never. Therefore, even if the writing instrument 4c is set to the storage position and the marker 1a is stored in the pocket, the pencil lead S is unlikely to stain the pocket.

Then, the fork 3b and the writing instrument 4c are rotationally moved between the storage position (solid lines K and L in FIG. 7) and the projecting position (two-dot chain lines M and N in FIG. 7), respectively, so that the fork is moved. 3b and the writing instrument 4c are projected from the peripheral edge of the back surface 20 of the marker body 2 or returned to the storage position.

As described above, since the fork 3b and the writing instrument 4c are rotatably supported on the back surface 20 of the marker body 2 by the pins 5 and 6, respectively, the structure of the marker can be simplified.

As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the writing tool 4c and the fork 3b are arranged so as to overlap the back surface 20 of the marker body 2, and the writing tool 4c and the fork 3b can be freely rotated by the pin 7. May be pivoted to. In this case, since the writing instrument 4c and the fork 3b are pivotally supported by the single pin 7, the structure of the marker can be simplified as compared with the fourth embodiment.

A sixth embodiment of the golf marker will be described with reference to FIG. In the fifth embodiment, the fork 3c and the writing instrument 4d are housed inside the marker body 2a. The marker main body 2a is formed in a hollow shape and can be opened and closed left and right around the shaft 8. In the vicinity of the opening of the marker body 2a and inside the marker body 2a, shafts 9 and 10 are arranged in the thickness direction of the marker body 2a, and the forks 3c and the writing instrument 4d are attached to these shafts 9 and 10. And are rotatably supported respectively.

Then, with the marker body 2a open, the fork 3c or the writing instrument 4d is rotated about the shafts 9 and 10 so as to protrude from the marker body 2a. On the other hand, after rotating the fork 3c and the writing instrument 4d toward the inside of the marker body 2a, the fork 3c and the writing instrument 4d are stored in the marker body 2a by closing the marker body 2a.

When the fork 3c and the writing instrument 4d can be housed inside the marker body 2a in this manner, there is an advantage that the appearance of the marker is good. In the stored state, the lead S of the pencil held by the writing instrument 4d is not exposed outside the marker body 2a, so the lead S is not broken.

Although the writing instrument described above holds the lead S of the pencil, it may hold a ballpoint pen or the like.
