Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an improvement of a green hawk used for repairing a depot (a dent) generated when a ball of the green is dropped when approaching the green in golf play.

As a green hawk A used for repairing a depot, as shown in FIG. 1, there is a green hawk A in which a hawk portion 2 is formed integrally and continuously on the tip side of a handle portion 1 formed in a short strip shape.

This one is always put in a pocket of clothes when playing golf, and when repairing the depot generated on the green by the approach before entering the putter, take out this green hawk A from the pocket and It is used in part 2 to flatten out any depots that have formed on the green.

However, the conventional green hawk A has a total length of about 10 cm including the handle portion 1 and the hawk portion 2 and can be always put in the pocket, but the handle portion 1 and the hawk portion 2 are Since the metal members are continuously formed as one body, the sharp tip of the hawk portion 2 may pierce the player's body through the cloth of the pocket when playing in a pocket. There are problems that arise.

From this, there is a demand for a green hawk A having a structure in which the handle portion 1 is formed in a case shape of the hawk portion 2 and the hawk portion 2 is folded at the tip end side of the handle portion 1 to be rotatable. By forming the handle portion 1 in a sheath shape, the entire wall portion becomes thick and a problem arises that the handle portion 1 becomes bulky when stored in a pocket. Further, when the hawk portion 2 is foldably rotatable with respect to the handle portion 1, the hawk portion 2 is arranged in the left and right width directions thereof like a jack knife in order to reduce the thickness of the handle portion 1 as a case. When the handle portion 1 is pivotally supported so as to rotate about the support shaft in the orthogonal direction, the direction of the force applied to the fork portion 2 when the fork portion 2 is pulled out and used is the axial direction of the support shaft. There arises a problem that the mechanism for fixing and holding the hawk portion 2 in the pulled-out state becomes troublesome.

The present invention was made in order to solve these problems that have occurred in the conventional green hawk, and the hawk portion is foldably and pivotally connected to the handle portion in a non-use state. Is folded in half, and in the folded state, the tip of the fork part does not protrude to the outside without increasing the thickness of the handle part, and the folded state and the fork part are An object of the present invention is to provide a new green hawk that ensures that the pulled-out state is securely held.

In the present invention, as a means for achieving the above-mentioned object, a short strip-shaped handle portion has a lower end edge and a top end edge of a fork portion including a plurality of fork pieces is hinged by a connecting shaft in the left-right direction. In a continuous manner, and forming grooved grooves continuously on the left and right side edges of the upper end of the hawk and on the left and right side edges of the handle, and forming deeper locking grooves at the lower end of each of them. On the outer circumferences of the handle portion and the fork portion, a horseshoe-shaped locking member that surrounds the handle portion and the fork portion is slid up and down by fitting the projection formed on the inner peripheral surface of the locking member and the groove. And a locking projection that engages with the locking groove is provided at the lower end of the protrusion of the locking member, and the front end of the hawk piece of the hawk part is provided on the rear surface of the upper end of the locking member. The present invention proposes a green hawk provided with engaging protrusions that engage with each other within the space.
