A first example of a conventional golf practice device relating to such an approach shot is one in which a net that surrounds the front of the batter is supported by a frame that is as short as the height, and the net is attached to the target. As a second example, there is a ring-shaped frame with legs attached with a reticulated bag.

[0004]

The first example of the conventional golf practice apparatus is quite large and is difficult to install in a room of a general house. It is often stored in a closet or the like for aesthetics, etc., and there is a problem that preparation is troublesome and practice tends to be neglected.

The present invention has been made in view of such problems of the prior art.
An object of the present invention is to provide a golf practice device that can be installed in a small space without impairing the aesthetics of a room, is easy to prepare, and can practice easily every day.

[0006]

The features of the present invention for solving the above-mentioned conventional problems and achieving the intended purpose are as follows.
A vertically elongated box having an openable and closable front plate, a target hanging down in the box, and having one or a plurality of target holes through-opened, and hanging in the box behind the target. And a ball return member that receives the golf ball driven into the target hole and rolls forward.

A pulling tool for projecting and retracting the target plate is interposed between the target plate and the front plate, and the front plate is opened and laid down on the floor surface. The ball-returning member is pivotally attached to the box so that the rear part is raised and tilted, and the ball-returning member is formed into a flexible sheet shape, and is opposite to the part hung in the box. More preferably, the side portion is fixed to the front plate.

Also, on the surface of the target plate and the ball returning member,
It is preferable to provide an artificial turf material, and it is further preferable to provide a detachable ball receiving plate which is rotatably suspended in the box body and can be fixed in a state of projecting obliquely upward and forward from the upper part of the box body.

[0009]

In the present invention, the front plate of the box body is made freely openable and closable, and a target plate and a ball return member are suspended in the box body, so that all members are stored in the box body only by closing the front plate. Opening the front panel and laying it down on the floor makes it usable.

[0010] Further, a tension member is interposed between the target plate and the front plate to enlarge a space between the target plate and the ball return member at the time of use, and to form the ball return member in a sheet shape. The golf ball in the hole is dropped downward without rebounding. Further, by inclining the front plate at the time of use and fixing the ball return member to the front plate, a continuous inclined surface is formed from the rear of the target plate to the feet of the user, and the golf ball rolls thereon.

Further, by providing artificial turf material on the surface of the target plate and the ball returning member, the fluff of the artificial turf material causes
Reduces the impact sound of golf balls coming off the target hole, and
The golf ball spinning in the backward direction is rebounded downward.

Further, the golf ball that has come off the target hole is repelled downward by projecting the off-ball receiving plate during use.

In the box body 1, a target plate 6 is provided behind the front plate 2 (on the right side in FIG. 3), and the upper end portions of the side plates 3 and 3 are connected to each other via a pivot 61. It is rotatably hung by pivoting. Further, in order to project the front plate 2 forward (leftward in FIG. 1) at the same time when the front plate 2 is opened, a rod-shaped member is provided between the lower portion of the target plate 6 and a portion of the front plate 2 in front of the pivot 21. The pulling tool 7 is pivotally attached via pivots 71 and 72. The target plate 6 and the front plate 2 are connected via a spring.
May be connected, and when the front plate 2 is closed, the target plate 6
May be folded.

The target plate 6 has target holes 66, 67, 6
8 are arranged in the up-down direction and have through openings. Also,
The target plate 6 is made of a material having a shape-retaining property such as a plastic board, and its surface (left side in FIG. 1) is
In order to reduce the collision sound of the golf ball, a plate-like sponge 63 is attached, and further, a sheet-like artificial grass material 64 is attached.

In the box 1, a ball return member 8 formed of a sheet-like artificial grass material is provided behind the target plate 6 (right side in FIG. 1). The artificial turf material is obtained by implanting flexible synthetic fibers on a flexible sheet such as vinyl. The ball return member 8 is supported by the side plates 3 and 3 via the shaft 81 at one end thereof, and is thus hung down to near the bottom of the box body 1. The portion of the ball return member 8 opposite to the shaft 81 is fixed to the front portion (the left portion in FIG. 1) of the front plate 2 via a nail 82.

Further, in the box body 1, there is a detachable ball receiving plate 9
