Looking at the operation of the present invention configured as described above are as follows.

First, when the golf tee 20 is damaged, the projection 82 of the tool 80 is inserted into the tool hole 45 of the inner cylinder 40 and then in the unwinding direction B shown in FIG. 2. When rotated, the projection 44 of the inner cylinder 40 is moved from the circumferential groove 9b to the lower end of the vertical groove 9a and the inner cylinder 40 is rotated.

When the inner cylinder is rotated, the tee holder 30 is fitted to the golf tee 20, and the adjustment pin 50 adjusts the height of the inner cylinder 40 in a state provided in the tee holder 30. It is caught in the hole 35, the cover 70 is coupled to the inner cylinder 40, so that the golf tee 20, the tee holder 30, the inner cylinder 40 and the cover 70 Assembly S is rotated integrally.

Then, by lifting the golf tee 20, the projection 44 of the inner cylinder 40 exits the vertical groove (9a), wherein the assembly (S) of the outer cylinder (2) It is withdrawn to the top.

Subsequently, it is also possible to disassemble the drawn assembly S, replace only the damaged golf tee 20, and then reassemble and refit the outer cylinder 2, and attach a new assembly to the outer cylinder 2. It is also possible, and for the convenience of the following description will be limited to mounting a new assembly (S) of the tee holder 30, the inner cylinder 40 and the cover 70.

When the new assembly S is inserted into the outer cylinder 2, the cover 70 slides downward along the inner wall surface of the outer cylinder 2, and the new assembly S is the outer cylinder ( 2) The protrusion 44 of the inner cylinder 40 is inserted into the vertical groove portion 9a of the outer cylinder 2 while being inserted deeply into the inside.

Subsequently, when the new assembly S is inserted deeply into the outer cylinder 2, the protrusion 44 of the inner cylinder 40 is caught by the lower end of the vertical groove 9a, and the tool ( When the projection 82 of the 80 is inserted into the tool hole 45 of the inner cylinder 40 and then rotated in the locking direction A shown in FIG. 2, the projection 44 of the inner cylinder 40 It is moved from the lower end of the vertical groove portion 9a to the end of the circumferential groove portion 9b, and the new assembly S is assembled with the outer cylinder 2.

On the other hand, after setting the top and bottom height of the golf tee 20 and rotated in one direction (C) shown in Figure 2, the adjustment was in the slit portion 36 of the height adjustment hole 35 of the inner cylinder 40 The pin 50 is rotated together with the golf tee 20 and the tee holder 30 to be inserted into the step portion 37 of the height adjustment hole 35 of the inner cylinder 40 to be locked. Adjusting device is the adjustment pin 50 is caught in the vertical direction of the step portion 37 of the height adjustment hole 35 of the inner cylinder 40, the height of the golf tee 20 is determined.

 At this time, the golf tee 20 is the projection 24 when the adjusting pin 50 is caught by the step portion 37 of the height adjustment hole 35 of the inner cylinder 40, the front 24 is facing forward, The golfer can easily check whether the height adjustment of the golf tee height adjusting device is completed through the direction of the protrusion 24.

On the other hand, if you want to increase or decrease the height of the golf tee 20, when the golf tee 20 is rotated in the other direction (D) shown in Figure 2, the height adjusting hole of the inner cylinder (40) The adjustment pin 50 in the step portion 37 of the 35 is rotated in reverse with the golf tee 20 and the tee holder 30 so as to slit the height adjustment hole 35 of the inner cylinder 40. Is moved to 36).

Then, after the golf tee 20 is raised upward or downward, the golf tee 20 is rotated again in one direction C as shown in FIG. 2, and the adjustment pin 50 is high or high. The golf tee height adjusting device is inserted into the other lower step portion 37 and is engaged with the golf tee 20. The height changes. At this time, the golf tee 20 has the protrusion 24 facing forward.

On the other hand, if the golf ball is placed on the golf tee 20, the ball sensor 90 is pin 91, 92, tee holder terminal 93 (94), spring 95, 96 and ball 97 98), the inner cylinder terminals 99 and 100, and the outer cylinder terminals 101 and 102 are transmitted and received to inform an external controller or the like of the golf ball.

On the other hand, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and can be applied to a golf tee height adjusting device in which a detent hole and a detent mechanism are not installed, and a battery for supplying power to a ball sensor inside the outer cylinder is provided. Of course, it is also possible to be installed, it is possible that various implementations within the technical scope to which the invention belongs.
