Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to an improvement of a golf umbrella that is used as a rain cover or sunshade during rain or sunshine on a golf course.

When playing golf, the golf ball often ends up in a pond, river, or the like.

If the golf ball is quite far from the water's edge, leave it alone and continue playing, but otherwise golf balls are relatively expensive, so
In many cases, a golf ball submerged in water is pulled to the water's edge using a hand-held club or the like and collected.

However, since a club or the like is not a special tool for collecting golf balls, this type of work is extremely complicated and time consuming, which greatly impedes play, which is a serious problem.

This invention was invented in consideration of the above problems and to solve them. Its purpose is to:
To provide a golf umbrella which is carried by almost all golfers when playing golf and which is also used as a golf ball collecting tool, and which can very easily and quickly collect golf balls submerged in water such as a pond or a river.

The golf umbrella of the present invention includes a hollow umbrella shaft, an umbrella body provided in the umbrella shaft so as to be openable and closable, one or more movable shafts fitted in the umbrella shaft so as to be expandable and retractable. a grip body attached to the base end of the movable shaft body on the base end side;
The feature lies in that it consists of a ball receiving part formed on the handle body.

In other words, the shaft of the golf umbrella is made to be extendable and retractable, and the handle is provided with a ball receiving part that can scoop up golf balls well.

According to the present invention, a golf umbrella can function as a rain shelter or sunshade during rain or sunshine.

If the golf ball enters a pond or river, etc., close the umbrella base, extend the movable shaft relative to the canopy barrel, and release the ball receiving portion of the handle on the base end. By using this, golf balls can be collected easily and quickly.

Therefore, it does not take much time to collect golf balls,
It does not cause any major hindrance to golf play.

Furthermore, according to the present invention, one or more movable shafts are telescopically fitted into the umbrella shaft tube, so when it is extended, its total length increases by approximately an integral number of times, making it easy to collect even golf balls that are quite far away. I can do things.

However, since the grip handle body is simply formed with a ball receiving portion, it is easy to manufacture and there is no problem in gripping it.

Moreover, if the umbrella shaft is extended and the umbrella body is opened, the umbrella can be used as a stationary umbrella such as a beach umbrella or a garden umbrella.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings.

The main parts of the golf umbrella 1 include an umbrella shaft tube 2, an umbrella base 3, a movable shaft 4, a handle 5, and a ball receiver 6.

The canopy barrel 2 has a hollow shape, and a stopper 7 is fitted and fixed into the opening at its tip (upper opening in FIG. 1), forming a so-called stone protrusion.

The umbrella base body 3 is provided on the umbrella shaft tube 2 so as to be openable and closable.

In this example, an upper wheel 8 fixed to the front side of the umbrella shaft tube 2, a lower wheel 9 loosely fitted to the umbrella shaft tube 2,
a main rib 10 whose base end is pivotally connected to an upper wheel 8;
A strut 11 whose both ends are pivotally connected to the middle of the main rib 10 and the lower wheel 9, respectively, and a flywheel 12 which is provided on the front side of the canopy shaft tube 2 so as to be freely retractable and which hooks the lower wheel 9.
It is composed of an umbrella fabric 13 and the like stretched on the outside of the main rib 10.

The movable shaft body 4 is fitted into the umbrella shaft tube 2 so as to be expandable and retractable, and is composed of one or more members.

In this example, a single movable shaft body 4 is inserted from the proximal opening of the umbrella shaft tube 2 to make it expandable and retractable.

The handle body 5 is attached to the movable shaft body 4 on the proximal end side.

In this example, there is only one movable shaft body 4, so
It is attached to the proximal end of this. Specifically, an insertion cavity 14 is bored on the tip side of the grip handle body 5,
Insert the base end of the movable shaft body 4 here and attach the stop pin 15.
It is attached by fastening at.

The ball receiving portion 6 is formed in the grip body 5, and in this example, it is formed at the base end of the grip body 5 (on the left side in FIG. 4). 5 is shaped like a so-called spoon.

In this example, the ball receiving portion 6 includes a recess 16 that can receive the golf ball B, and a drain passage 17 that penetrates from the recess 16 to the back side thereof.

Therefore, in this embodiment, the umbrella shaft tube 2 and the movable shaft body 4 are
A locking mechanism 18 is provided between the movable shaft body 4 and the movable shaft body 4 to allow the movable shaft body 4 to be fixed in any expanded or contracted position.

In this example, the lock mechanism 18 includes a rotating body 19 that has a female screw, an inclined surface, and a through hole through which the movable shaft 4 can be inserted, a male screw that fits the female screw of the rotating body 19, and an umbrella. A hanging body 20 having a cylindrical shape with a cross section C and fitted onto the base end of the umbrella shaft tube 2 and having three protrusions projecting inward from a window hole provided in the shaft tube 2; A guide body 2 that is fitted into the base end of the guide body 2 to guide the movable shaft body 4 and has an inclined surface.
1, and a tightening body 22 which is fitted onto the movable shaft body 4 and has a cylindrical shape with a C-shaped cross section, and has sloped surfaces at both ends that match the sloped surfaces of the rotating body 19 and the sloped surfaces of the guide body 21, respectively. and a hooking protrusion 2 formed at the tip of the movable shaft body 4 that comes into contact with the protrusion of the hooking body 20 to prevent it from coming off.
It is composed of 3.

The length of the movable shaft 4 is set so that it does not come into contact with the repellent 12 when it is shortened and stored in the canopy shaft tube 2. Further, on the back side of the umbrella area 13, a Susko core card and the like are stored. It is convenient to have a pocket P.

When carrying such a golf umbrella 1, the umbrella body 3 is kept in a closed state as shown in FIG. 2. Of course, the movable shaft body 4 is housed in the umbrella shaft tube 2 and is kept in a so-called shortened state as an umbrella shaft.
