Description

[Detailed Description of Device] a. OBJECT OF THE INVENTION [Industrial field of application] The present invention relates to a golf competition starting ball type device used in a golf competition, and more specifically, by hitting a tee-up golf ball, a fanfare sounds or The present invention relates to a golf competition starting ball type device in which a voice of encouragement is automatically emitted.

[Conventional technology]

In a starting ball type of a golf competition, hitting a smoke ball or the like is performed for the purpose of producing glitz. These balls have been devised in various ways such as generating colored smoke, but they are merely visually appealing. In addition, smoke balls are prohibited from use at some golf courses because explosives may damage the lawn. Furthermore, in a small-scale competition, the number of galleries is limited, and it is not possible to prepare sufficient production equipment in terms of cost.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

As described above, conventionally, since only the starting ball type device for the purpose of visual effect is used, a sufficient effect cannot be obtained, and there is a possibility of damaging the lawn.
Especially in small-scale competitions, it was difficult to make the starting ball style gorgeous because of the number of galleries.

The present invention was created in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a golf competition starting ball type device that can achieve a sufficient effect with a simple structure and does not damage the lawn.

B. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [Means for Solving Problems] The present invention provides a switch for detecting that a tee-up golf ball has been hit, and a sound generating device for generating a sound when the switch is operated. including. Also, according to an embodiment of the present invention, a switch connected to the tee by a string is provided, or a pressure sensitive switch is provided between the golf ball and the tee.

[Action]

When the tee is hit by the tee shot, the cord connected to the tee expands to operate the switch actuator, or the ball is released from the tee to operate the pressure-sensitive switch on the tee and generate sound. The device works.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.

FIG. 1 is a block circuit diagram of an embodiment of the present invention.
The switch 1 to be set before the shot is connected to the set terminal of the flip-flop 3, and the switch 2 closed by striking is connected to one input terminal of the AND gate 5. The output of the AND gate 5 is connected to the set terminal of another flip-flop 4. The output of the flip-flop 4 is the timer circuit 6 and the voice synthesis IC.
It is supplied to the circuit 7. The output of the voice synthesis IC circuit 7 is configured to be supplied to the sound emitting device 8 such as a speaker.
The operation of the circuit shown in FIG. 1 will now be described. After the ball is set on the tee and the switch 1 is pressed, the flip-flop 3 is set. When a shot is performed in this state, the switch 2 is closed and the flip-flop 4 is inverted. With this, the voice synthesis IC circuit 7 operates, and fanfare, cheers, applause, etc. are emitted from the sound emitting device 8.
Is emitted more. When a certain time has elapsed, the timer circuit 6 generates an output and the flip-flops 3 and 4 are inverted,
Waiting for the next set. An endless type tape recorder can be connected instead of the voice synthesis IC circuit 7, and the present invention is not limited to a special voice generating means. The two flip-flop circuits 3 and 4 and the AND gate 5 are also shown as examples, and the present invention is not limited to a particular circuit arrangement. That is, it is only necessary to detect a tee shot and generate sound, and various circuit arrangements for this purpose can be easily designed by those skilled in the art.

FIG. 2 is a schematic perspective view of the device according to the present invention, and shows the circuit, the power supply device, the switch and the like shown in FIG. A cord 10 is connected to the tee 9, and the other end of the cord 10 is connected to an actuator 11 of the switch 1 shown in FIG. Second
In the device shown, place a ball 14 on the tee 9,
When the set switch 1 is pressed to perform a shot, the extension of the string 10 causes the actuator 11 to operate. As a result, the switch 2 operates, the flip-flop 4 shown in FIG. 1 is inverted, and the fan device or the like is emitted from the sound emitting device 8.

FIG. 3 shows another embodiment of the present invention, in which a pressure sensitive switch 13 is used in place of the cord 10 and the actuator 11 shown in FIG. That is, when the ball 14 is placed on the tee 9, the pressure sensitive switch 13 operates to supply a contact output to the circuit. When the ball 14 is separated from above the tee 9 by the shot, the pressure sensitive switch 13 is released. Since this operation is the reverse of that described with reference to FIG. 2, it is preferable to provide an inverting circuit on the input side of the AND gate 5 shown in FIG. In addition, the impact on the tee due to the impact, that is, the string 10
In order to reduce the impact on the pressure-sensitive switch 13 or the pressure-sensitive switch 13, a flight prevention string with a pile may be attached to the tee.

C. Effect of the Invention As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to achieve a sufficient effect with a simple structure, and to obtain a golf competition starting ball type instrument that does not damage the lawn, which is extremely useful in practice. Is.
