Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a tee used in golf play.

When hitting the first ball from the teeing ground of a golf course, use a wooden or plastic nail-shaped tee peg (hereinafter simply referred to as a tee), place the ball on top of it, and place the ball on top of it.
It is permitted under the rules to tee up and hit the ball.

There are two types of tees: short iron tees and long wood tees. Golf players carry these tees, balls, ball markers, writing utensils, etc. in their pants pockets. Items were jumbled at the bottom of the pocket, and when taking out the desired tee from the pocket when tearing, I often grabbed unnecessary items.

On the other hand, when a golf ball falls directly onto the green surface during golf play, the impact marks caused by the golf ball will remain as dents on the green surface, so these dents (hereinafter referred to as punts) should be repaired before a putting stroke or the like. is necessary as manners, and as a device for this purpose,
Although it is desirable to carry a Punto repair tool in the form of a fork, few people carry this Punto repair tool.

In the present invention, a pair of left and right engaging bodies facing opposite to each other is provided laterally on the outer surface of the pointed shaft part of each tee, and these engaging bodies each have a locking body that fits into the engaging body part of the opposing tee. By providing a section to allow multiple tees to be detachably connected in parallel to each other, it is extremely easy to take out the tees from inside the pocket, and when a pair of two tees is made, it is possible to easily connect the tees to each other in parallel. It is designed to be used as a tool.

Next, the present invention will be explained based on an embodiment. Reference numeral 1 is a tee made of injection molded synthetic resin material, and the tee 1 has a head 2 and a pointed shaft portion 3 that are integrally formed on a substantially straight line. It is molded in series.

The tip 4 of the shaft 3 of the tee 1 is sharpened so as to be able to pierce the ground at a teeing ground, etc., while the upper surface of the head 2 is recessed so that a golf ball can be placed thereon. It is 7.

Reference numeral 5.5 denotes a pair of left and right engaging bodies for removably connecting the plurality of tees 1 in a horizontal row in parallel with each other;
, 5 are integrally formed to protrude in opposite directions in the diametrical direction from the outer surface of the vertical midway portion of the shaft portion 3 of each tee 1.

Both engaging bodies 5,5 are each provided with a locking part at a symmetrical position with respect to the axis A of the shaft part 3, and when the engaging bodies 5.5 of adjacent tees 1.1 are brought close to each other while facing each other, The locking portions of each engaging body 5 are mutually fitted into the locking portions of the other side.
The structure is such that more than one Tito can be connected at least in parallel to each other.

Various embodiments of the locking portion in the engagement body 5 can be considered, but in the embodiments shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, the shaft portion 3 of each tee 1 has a circular cross section, and each retainer 5 has a circular shape in side view. shape, and both retainers 5 are arranged so that the side surfaces of their respective protrusions 6.6 protrude are substantially on the same plane, and both protrusions 6, 6 are located at a position appropriately away from the axis A toward the outside of the radius. They are formed to protrude in opposite directions, and locking holes 7, 7 are formed at positions radially inward from the respective protrusions 6, 6 by a dimension P.

In this configuration, two or more tees are lined up so that their shaft tips 4 are in the same direction, and the protrusion 6 and locking hole 7 of the right engagement body 5 on the left tee 1 are aligned on the right side. By fitting into the locking hole 7 and the protrusion 6 of the left engaging body 5 on the tee 1 (see FIG. 5), a plurality of tees are connected in parallel to each other as shown in FIG. 4. can.

If you put it in your pocket in this state, the tee will not collect at the bottom of the pocket and will be easier to take out.

In addition, the tent can be repaired by holding a pair of tees 1, 1 in your hands and sticking the points 4, 4 of both tees 1, 1 into the grass surface of the tent area and pulling up the grass area. Then, all you have to do is tee up the tees one by one.

In the embodiment of the locking portion shown in FIGS. 6 to 9, the shaft portion 3' has a cross-shaped cross section, and a pair of left and right ribs that are circular in side view extend from the rib portions formed in opposite directions at 180 degrees. engaging body 5',
5' are made to protrude integrally, and as in the previous embodiment, protrusions 6', 6' are provided at positions near the tips of the side surfaces of both retainers 5'.
are made to protrude in opposite directions, and a locking hole 7' into which the protrusion 6' fits is formed at a position a distance P away from the protrusion 6' toward the shaft portion 3'.

In addition, when the tip 4 of the tee 1 is stuck into the grass surface, the lower end of the triangular candy-like engaging body 5' can be sunk deep under the core surface, so that the so-called iron tee 1 with a short foot length can be used. ', and can also be connected with the wood tee 1 as shown in FIG.

Furthermore, in the present invention, the left and right engaging bodies 5, 5°5'
, 5' and the locking holes 7, 7' are not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments. The locking hole 7 may be bored at a offset position, and the axial direction of the protrusion 6 and the locking hole 7 may be perpendicular to the axis A of the shaft portion 3, or may be appropriately inclined or in the same direction. It also includes things like that.

In summary, the present invention is a synthetic resin tee in which a head and a pointed shaft are integrally molded, and a pair of left and right engaging bodies are integrally formed on the outer surface of each shaft in opposite directions of approximately 180 degrees. Each retainer is provided so that it can be removably fitted into the other engaging body when two or more tees have their shaft tips facing the same direction and the opposing engaging bodies of each tee face each other. It has a locking part for joining, and can be used as a regular tear tab when the tees are used separately.When the tees are used separately, they can be used as a pair, and the tips are placed in the same direction. If so, it can be used as a repair tool for repairing a tent, and golf players do not need to carry a separate fork-shaped tent repair tool.

Furthermore, if two or more tees are connected, they will become flat, so the floor of the pocket will not bulge, and the tees can be taken out of the pocket while still connected, making it easy to grab other unnecessary items. Never.
