Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a golf tee, a golf tee,

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to a golf tee for displaying a hit direction of a golf ball in a line on the ground, and more particularly to a golf tee for allowing a user, Of the golf ball is displayed on the ground with a line.

The golf tee is a mechanism for keeping the golf ball in a state of being separated from the ground at the time of hitting the golf ball.

The above golf tee is a consumable item that is essentially used among golf equipments provided for enjoying golf, and various types of golf tees are provided according to the shape to be formed.

In addition, it is preferable to insert the golf tee into the designated surface to make the height of the ball half as long as the head of the driver, and it is mainly made of wood, plastic, elastic resin or the like, , There is a disadvantage.

Recently, the structure of such a golf tee has been improved so that the user can be informed of the direction of the golf tee placed on the top of the golf tee during a golf game or practice, so that the user enjoys the golf, A variety of golf tees have been proposed.

For example, as described in Document 1, Document 2, and Document 3, a golf tee has been proposed in which a direction indicator bar or an arrow or the like is attached to one side of a golf tee so that a user can recognize a hit direction of the golf tee.

However, the conventional golf tees such as the literature 1, the literature 2, and the document 3 have different shapes from those of the golf tees used in general, so there is a problem that the user who enjoys golf easily feels a sense of heterogeneity in using them. The configuration of the direction indicator bar or the arrow marking the golf ball's hitting direction on the outer side increases the size of the golf tee or changes the appearance of the golf tee so that the golfer can easily carry the golf tee, .

In addition, the conventional golf tees such as the literature 1, the literature 2 and the document 3 can aim to display the golf ball's hit direction by putting the golf ball on the golf ball. However, after the golf ball is hit, There has been a problem that the outer shape is deformed or damaged due to the impact generated when the golf ball is hit, so that there is a problem that it is difficult to smoothly and continuously achieve the original function for indicating the direction of the golf ball.

In addition, there is a problem that it is difficult to use a continuous and stable golf tee due to the problem that can be easily broken as described above, and the unnecessary purchase cost due to the problem is increased. In the conventional golf tee, It is difficult to inform the user of the flow direction of the golf course smoothly, so that golf tees are often lost while enjoying golf.

The battery 21a of the battery unit 21 is preferably constructed by applying a conventional battery or a battery capable of storing an external power source or a power source. It is preferable to use a lithium ion battery It is good.

The second contact element 21b is electrically connected to the battery 21a so that the power of the battery 21a can be transmitted to the light emitting unit 11. [

3, when the upper body 10 and the lower body 20 are engaged with each other, the second contact element 21b of the lower body 20 is engaged with the upper body 10 of the upper body 10, When the golf ball B is placed on the head 10a of the upper body 10 as shown in FIG. 4, the load of the golf ball B The upper body 10 tilts naturally in the direction of the lower body 20 and the first contact element 11b of the upper body 10 and the second contact element 21b of the lower body 20 come into close contact with each other will be.

Particularly, when the first contact element 11b of the upper body 10 and the second contact element 21b of the lower body 20 are in close contact with each other as described above, the second contact element 21b, The power of the battery 21a connected to the first contact element 11b is transmitted to the light emitting part 11 connected to the first contact element 11b so that the light emitting part 11 can emit light.

The combination of the upper body 10 and the lower body 20 and the combination of the first contact element 11b and the second contact element 11b, which form a selective contact by the combination of the upper body 10 and the lower body 20, 3, the upper body 10 and the lower body 20 are connected to each other by a connecting member 30 (see FIG. 3) The upper body 10 is configured to flow from the upper portion of the lower body 20 about the connection portion between the connection member 30 and the lower body 20. [

It is preferable that the connecting member 30 is connected to the upper body 10 or the lower body 20 so as not to interfere with the use of the upper body 10 or the lower body 20 even when the upper body 10 and the lower body 20 are connected. Although not shown in detail in the present invention, one side of the connecting member 30 is connected to the lower body 20, and the lower body of the upper body 10 is supported by the upper body 10 and the lower body 20 to be spaced apart from those shown in Figs. 2 and 3, as shown in Fig.

2 and 3, when the upper body 10 and the lower body 20 are engaged with each other as described above, a connection member (not shown) for connecting the upper body 10 and the lower body 20, So that the interconnected state can be firmly maintained through the connection part 30.

The connecting member 30 is preferably formed of silicone rubber and the connecting member 30 is connected to the upper body 10 and the lower body 20 as shown in FIG. The upper body 10 and the lower body 20 are completely separated from each other even when the golf ball B is placed on the head 10a of the upper body 10 and the practice of hitting the golf ball B is performed .

In addition, the connecting member 30 may be formed to have a concave-convex shape to more firmly connect the upper body 10 and the lower body 20, and to prevent the connecting member 30 from being easily broken or broken It may be formed to a thickness of 1 cm or more. However, it goes without saying that the length and thickness of the connecting member 30 can be variously changed according to the user's selection.

The upper body 10 includes a plurality of coupling protrusions 10b at a portion connecting to the lower body 20 and the lower body 20 is formed at a position corresponding to the coupling protrusion 10b And a plurality of coupling grooves 20a are formed in the coupling grooves 20a.
