[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a golf tee for placing a ball (tee-up) when performing a tee shot in golf.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 A conventional general golf tee has a pointed support shaft protruding from the bottom of a cup-shaped ball seat, and is integrally formed of a hard synthetic resin material or the like. In this golf tee, the support shaft is pierced into the ground of the tee ground so that the height of the tee-up ball is suitable for the tee shot, and it is embedded at the desired depth, thereby stably supporting the ball seat. It is used by teeing up the ball on the ball seat. However, this golf tee has a drawback that it cannot be used when the tee ground is, for example, artificial grass or hard soil, because it is difficult to pierce the support shaft into the ground.

Therefore, in order to solve the drawbacks of the golf tee described above, proposals of golf tees disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open Nos. 62-139678 and 62-139679 have been made. These golf tees are formed of a soft material such as rubber or synthetic resin into a cylindrical body, and are placed on the tee ground as they are, and the balls are laid up on the ball seat. It Therefore, unlike the former golf tee, it can be used without piercing into the ground of the tee ground, which is extremely convenient when the tee ground is artificial grass or solid soil.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, the proper height position of the ball when it is taken up differs depending on various conditions when performing the tee shot, so the height position of the ball to be taken up must be set to the desired proper value accordingly. I won't. This proper height placement generally depends on the type of club used, e.g. for high numbered clubs such as wood with a smaller loft angle to increase flight distance, higher ball Up, and in the case of a club with a large number such as an iron with a large loft angle to shorten the flight distance, the ball is taken up low. In addition, the appropriate height position of the ball differs depending on the loft angle depending on the club number even within the same wood or iron, and the appropriate height position also depends on other factors such as the depth of artificial turf and the preference or habit of golfers. The position is different.

However, in the case of the latter golf tee, in order to raise the ball at an arbitrary height position in accordance with these conditions, various golf tees having different heights must be prepared in advance. Therefore, it was difficult to deal with it in reality. Therefore, in the present invention, as a golf tee for solving such a problem of the conventional technique, the golf tee can be used by resting it on the tee ground as it is, and it can be taken up by adapting to the conditions when making a tee shot. An object of the present invention is to provide a golf tee capable of easily setting the height position of the ball to be adjusted to a proper height.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the golf tee of the present invention is a golf tee that is mounted on a tee ground and tees up a ball on a ball seat portion. It is composed of a plurality of tubular tees including two tubular tees having different heights, and the tubular tees are connected to each of the tubular tees at least at one end side in a fitted state. The joints are formed, and these tubular tees are connected individually or in any combination through the joints so that the height position for the tape-up can be set as desired. In order to achieve another object, in the golf tee of the present invention, a fitting and locking portion having saw-toothed concavities and convexities is formed on both ends of each of the above-mentioned tubular tees.

[0007]

EXAMPLES Hereinafter, the golf tee of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the examples shown in FIGS. This golf tee 1 is composed of a plurality of tubular tees including at least two tubular tees having the same diameter and the same shape and having different heights such as height and height. 2 is composed of a high tubular tee 2 and a low tubular tee 7. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the tubular tees 2 and 7 are formed in a cylindrical shape having the same diameter, and a large number of knurls 3 and 8 are formed along the longitudinal direction on the outer peripheral surface thereof. , Joints 4, 5, 9 and 10 are formed by saw-toothed concavo-convex on the upper and lower ends of the opening, and a shape-preserving inner lid 6 and 11 are formed in the middle of the inside. Each is provided. These tubular tees 2 and 7 are integrally molded of, for example, rubber or a soft synthetic resin material. In this embodiment, a polyethylene resin which is inexpensive, has relatively good molding processability, and has appropriate elasticity is used. Has been done.

The cylindrical tees 2 and 7 described above are fitted with the sawtooth-shaped irregularities provided at the ends forming the joints 4,5, 9 and 10 in a state of being meshed with each other. Connect them to form the golf tee 1 with the desired height. Therefore, if two types of the high tubular tee 2 and the low tubular tee 7 are prepared, for example, two units each, for a total of four units, as shown in FIG. 5, five types of different height combinations can be obtained. . For example, if the height L of the high tubular tee 2 is 16 mm and the height 1 of the low tubular tee 7 is 7 mm and the offset portion α due to the fitting is 1 mm, the low tubular tee 7 as shown in (a) can be obtained. When used alone, the height is 7 mm, when used as a combination of low tubular tees 7 as in (b), the height is 13 mm, and when used as a high tubular tee 2 as (c), the height is high. Is 16 mm, the height is 22 mm when the low tubular tee 7 and the high tubular tee 2 are used in combination as shown in (d), and the height is 22 mm when the high tubular tee 2 is used in combination as shown in (e). It becomes 31 mm.

The golf tee 1 described above has a ball 12 with a desired tee-up height H that meets various conditions when a tee shot is performed by selecting a combination of the tubular tees 2 and 7. It is used by placing it on the tea ground 13 where it is difficult to pierce the tee into the ground as in the case of artificial grass or hard soil. The knurls 3 and 8 in the above structure function as a slip stopper for making the tubular tees 2 and 7 easier to hold, and the inner lids 6 and 11 eliminate deformation especially when the material is rubber or soft synthetic resin. Functions as a shape-retaining means. Further, the joints 4, 5, 9 and 10 formed by the serrated concave and convex portions formed at the ends of the joints on the mounting surface side are adapted to the irregularities of the tee ground 13 and the depth of artificial turf. 1 can be stably supported, and the joint part on the ball seat side can be engaged with the dimple 12a recessed in the surface of the ball 12 to stably support the ball 12 so as not to drop off. To do.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, but various modifications can be made within the scope of the invention. For example, in the embodiment, the two types of the high tubular tee 2 and the low tubular tee 7 are used in total of two bodies each, but a total of four bodies are used. However, three levels of height can be obtained, and if the tubular tee is made into three types of high, medium, and low, or if each type is used with three or more bodies, the number of combinations can be increased to set the take-up height in multiple stages. be able to. Further, the shape of the joints may be any combination as long as they are fitted and connected to each other. Therefore, in addition to the saw-toothed concavo-convex shape, various shapes such as a rectangular wave shape can be used.

[Effect of device]

 As is apparent from the above examples, the golf tee according to the present invention can be easily used even in the case of solid soil or man-made turf ground by simply placing it in a stationary state. By using the individual cylindrical tees of different heights that make up the tee individually or by connecting them in any combination, it is possible to achieve the desired tee-up height at the desired tee-up height that suits each type of tee shot condition. You can In addition, in the golf tee according to claim 2, since the joints with the saw-toothed concavities and convexities are provided on both end sides of each tubular tee, the joints with the sawtooth-shaped concavities and convexities on the mounting surface side have irregularities on the ground and the population. The golf tee is stably supported by adapting to the depth of the turf, and the golf ball is stably supported so that the joint portion formed by the saw-toothed concavities and convexities on the ball seat side does not fall off due to the engagement with the dimple of the golf ball. .
