Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Technical field of the invention] This invention relates to a lid for a hole cup, and more specifically, to a lid that can be detachably placed on a hole cup buried in a sand-filled artificial grass green. be.

[Technical background of the invention] Sand-containing artificial grass is made by filling the grass grains with sand.
Recently, it has been used for golf course greens because it has a characteristic and appearance similar to that of natural grass. However, unlike natural grass greens, it is difficult to easily drill holes for the hole cups and backfill them, so the hole cups are always in a fixed position. It tends to be uninteresting.

[Purpose of the invention] This invention was devised in view of the above-mentioned problems, and the purpose was to make it possible to cover the hole cup in a removable manner, covering and concealing that part on par with the surrounding greenery. To provide a lid for a whole cup.

[Examples] Hereinafter, this invention will be described in detail with reference to embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.

In Fig. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes an artificial lawn constituting a green laid on a base 2, the grass grains of which are filled with sand (for example, preferably silica sand No. 7 to No. 4). There is. 3 is a hole cup cut out of the artificial lawn 1 and buried in the base 2; in this case, the hole cup 3 has a height that prevents the sand filled in the grass grains from spilling from the cut of the artificial lawn 1 into the cup. It is set to Reference numeral 4 designates a lid according to this invention, which is formed so as to be detachably placed over the hole cup 3. That is,
The lid 4 includes a bottom wall portion 4a formed in a disc shape large enough to fit inside the hole cup 3, and a peripheral wall bent to rise to a predetermined height at the periphery of the bottom wall portion 4a. portion 4b, and this peripheral wall portion 4b
The upper edge of the hole cup 3 is bent outward to engage with the opening edge of the hole cup 3, or is bent slightly downward to form an engaging portion 4c. An artificial lawn 5 is provided on the upper surface of the bottom wall portion 4a, and is long enough to form approximately the same surface as the surrounding artificial lawn 1 when the lid 4 is placed over the hole cup 3. The grass grains are filled with sand as in the artificial lawn 1 described above. Note that this sand is suppressed by the peripheral wall portion 4b and does not fall out of the lid 4. Further, according to this embodiment, a knob 6 is provided on the bottom wall portion 4a, and this knob 6 is made sufficiently lower than the height of the artificial lawn 5.

In the above configuration, the lid 4 is connected to the hole cup 3.
When the lid 4 is placed on the hole cup 3, the engaging portion 4c comes into contact with the opening edge of the hole cup 3, and the lid 4 is held in that position, and the artificial lawn 5 and the artificial lawn 1 are on the same surface, which hinders play. The hole cup 3 can be closed without any trouble.

FIG. 2 shows a modified embodiment of this invention. According to this, a stem 7 that is wound into a flagpole insertion pipe 8 provided in the hole cup 3 is implanted approximately at the center of the lower surface of the bottom wall portion 4a. Insertion pipe 8
A flange 7a as a stopper that engages with the upper end of the flange 7a is integrally molded. Therefore, according to this, when the lid 4 is installed in the hole cup 3, most of the pressure applied to the lid 4 is supported by the stem 7.

[Effects] As is clear from the description of the embodiments above, according to this invention, the hole cups provided on the artificial grass green can be closed as if they had been backfilled, so multiple hole cups can be placed on the green. Bury it in an appropriate place, and one of the
You will be able to select and use one.

[Brief explanation of the drawing]

FIG. 1 is a longitudinal sectional view showing an embodiment of this invention separated from a hole cup, and FIG. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view showing a modified embodiment of this invention. In the figure, 1 is an artificial lawn, 2 is a base, 3 is a hole cup, 4 is a lid, 5 is an artificial lawn, and 7 is a stem.

Claims (1)

[Scope of Claim for Utility Model Registration] (1) A cover that is removably placed over a hole cup embedded in a sand-containing artificial grass green, and that has a disc shape that is sized to fit inside the hole cup. a bottom wall portion formed therein; and a peripheral wall portion that is bent to rise to a predetermined height at the periphery of the bottom wall portion, and is folded back to the outside so that its upper edge engages with the open end of the hole cup. A sand-containing artificial lawn is provided on the upper surface of the bottom wall portion, and the sand-containing artificial lawn forms approximately the same surface as the sand-containing artificial lawn constituting the green when the lid body is placed over the hole cup. A lid for a whole cup. (2) In claim (1) for utility model registration, the central part of the lower surface of the bottom wall is inserted into the flagpole insertion pipe provided in the hole cup and is latched to the open end of the pipe. 1.
