2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, golf ball pick-up devices are simple for picking up a ball in a pond or a driving range. For this reason, when a player picks up a ball in a green or cup on a golf course, he puts his weight on one leg and bends his hips with a putter as a cane to lean forward. At this time, the entire weight is applied to the toe of the foot, so that the lawn in this part is dent and the state of the green is spoiled. Also, when you wake up, you lose your balance and twist your shoes, damaging the lawn and ruining the greens. In particular, the elderly and those with weak hips are less likely to bend forward, so they tend to lose balance when picking up the ball in the cup.

[0003]

There are many people who have difficulty picking up a ball in a cup, such as an elderly person, a person with weak waist, and a person with high blood pressure. When a healthy person is tired, he loses his balance and gets stuck when picking up the ball in the cup. Also, the green grass is bent forward with the putter as a cane and weight is applied, so that the trace of the putter is attached, and the grass around the cup sinks because the whole weight is put on the toes. Also, when you pick up the ball and get up, you twist your legs to lose balance and stagger, so the spikes can damage the grass and ruin the lawn.

[0004]

When picking up a ball, a ball catcher is attached to a grip end of a putter, and the ball is picked up while standing on a green or in a cup without bending a hip. After picking it up, remove it and put it in your pocket.

By using the small ball catcher of the present invention to pick up the ball while standing, no burden is placed on the waist, and the balance is not lost, so that the legs are not hung and the grass is not damaged by the shoes. In addition, the lawn does not sink only around the green cup because the weight is not applied to the toes.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below. About 3 width
An elastic spring plate having a length of about 50 mm and a length of about 50 mm or a strong elastic plastic plate is bent into an S-shape, and the tip is folded back into a trumpet shape. A set of three or four of these plates are arranged at equal intervals, and the base is fixed to a shaft (hereinafter referred to as claws) and mounted in a container with a cap. Remove the cap, pull out the claw, hit the ball-shaped part with the tip turned back, hit the ball lightly, and push the ball lightly, the trumpet-shaped part slides on the ball, the claw opens, and the ball gets inside the S-shaped claw . The part of the nail that hits the ball inside the file is made into a file shape, making it difficult for the ball to fall when picked up. (B) A method of inserting a ball catcher by inserting it into the hole for air release at the grip end of the putter. By pushing the cap (1) of the ball catcher, the inner push rod (3) pushes the shaft (5) and the stopper (7)
And insert it into the vent hole on the grip end of the putter. When the finger is released from the cap (1), the shaft (5) is returned by the force of the spring (4), and at the same time, the stopper (7) opens in the hole, and the ball catcher and the stopper (7) sandwich the rubber of the grip and fix. . At this time, the sheath tube (6) is pushed out and comes out by the thickness of the rubber of the grip. Next, remove the cap (1), turn the putter upside down, and nail (2)
Press the ball against the ball and press it lightly to make it elastic (2)
Opens and grabs the ball and picks it up as it is.
Remove the ball from the claw (2), cover with the cap (1), push with the finger, extend the stopper (7), pull out the ball catcher while pressing the cap (1) as it is.
(Figs. 1, 2, 3,) (b) A method in which a ball catcher is fitted into a rubber joint with a magnet at the grip end of the putter and inserted into the rubber joint. A magnet (1) is attached to the grip (9) of the golf putter in advance.
Insert the rubber joint (12) with 1), insert the ball catcher into the ball when you pick up the ball, remove the cap (1), turn the putter upside down and press it against the ball, and push it lightly to make it elastic.

Even if you put a rubber joint on the grip in advance and put it, there is no problem as long as it is a few cm longer. In addition, it can be easily removed because it is attached by the power of a magnet. A rigid guide (length 7 to 10) such as a cylindrical metal or plastic is inserted into the insertion portion of the ball catcher with a rubber joint.
mm) to prevent the ball catcher from bending sideways. The magnet (11) should be strong enough to support the weight of the ball catcher holding the ball. Figure 5 shows the cap as a sliding cover, lowers the cover and puts out the claws,
A ball catcher with a raised cover that can accommodate claws. Fig. 6 shows a ball catcher that can be stored by twisting to the right and twisting it to the right to pull out the claws and twisting it to the left to retract the claws.

[0007]
