Description

Golf Tee {Golf Tee}

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a golf tee, and more particularly, to a golf tee having improved visibility so that a user can easily find the length of the golf tee when a change in length can be easily detected.

A golf game is a game in which a hole is formed in a lawn far away and a golf ball is blown away or forward by using a golf club so that a player who hits a golf ball in the hole as the shortest number of hits is concealed, Will start at the tee ground. Normally, a rod-shaped golf tee having a length of about 5 to 9 cm is put on the tee ground and then the golf ball is placed on the golf tee.

The golf tee used here is usually made of wood or plastic. The upper end of the golf tee is extended to the shape of a hollow tubular trunk so that the golf ball can be placed thereon. The lower end of the golf tee is sharpened so as to easily fit on the ground.

However, since the conventional golf tee is formed of a single body using wood or plastic, the golf tee is made of a hard material, so that when the golfer swings the golf club and hits the golf ball, The golf tee was easily broken and consumed a lot, and the golf tee was pulled out from the ground due to a severe impact at the moment of hitting, so that it was often lost and jumped out.

In addition, the golf tee affects the course of the golf ball. When the golf ball is hit, the resistance due to the friction between the golf ball and the top surface of the golf tee, and the resistance of the golf ball according to the shape or direction broken when the golf tee is broken There is a problem that the ball can not be blown accurately in a desired direction because it can affect the course.

Accordingly, Korean Unexamined Patent Publication No. 10 (1993) -0730023 proposes a golf tee to prevent a golf tee from being broken or broken due to the impact when a golf club is struck, and to prevent the golf tee from being splashed and lost .

1, an upper body 1 for supporting a golf ball and a lower pin 2 for insertion and fixing to the ground surface 17 are separately formed and connected to the upper and lower members 1 and 2 by a connecting pin 3, The upper end of the connecting pin 3 is elastically supported by a spring so that the lower end of the connecting pin 3 is elastically supported by the upper body 1 so that the body 1 receives the impact force in a direction perpendicular to the axis according to the swing of the golf club, the body 1 is bent in the direction of the hitting At this time, bending change of the connection pin 3 made of soft plastic is made so as to be flexible, and the lower end of the main body 1 which is in contact with the pin 2 is separated by the compression of the spring, (2), and At this time, the upper main body 1 is in a state of being bent with respect to the lower pin 2, but hanging on the pin 2 due to the connection pin 3, As the spring is compressed, the restoring elasticity accumulated in the inside acts to return the main body 1 to the state of being in the normal engagement state (standing state) with the lower side pin 2 again.

The prior art having such a structure does not pull out from the ground surface 17 together with the pin 2 when the impact force on the golf ball 20 is applied to the main body 1 and only the upper main body 1 portion But the assembly structure is very complicated and takes a lot of assembly time. Also, the machining structure of each part is complicated, and the spring force of the metal spring Since the number of components such as the required number of parts is large, the manufacturing easiness is greatly increased, the productivity is very low, and there are various problems such as generation of noise specific to the metal spring.

Further, it is difficult to discriminate the golf tee at night, so that it is difficult to accurately tee shot with a conventional golf tee. When the golf tee is separated from the ground due to the impact of the tee shot, a considerable amount of time is required to find and retrieve the golf tee. There is a problem that the user may not be able to find the golf club and lose the golf club.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the conventional glare golf tee of Korean Registered Utility Model No. 20-0469940, which is superior in visibility, bends the soft body to rupture the glass tube and mixes the hydrogen peroxide water and the fluorescence liquid, It is possible to enjoy a golf game using golf tee and to easily identify at night, so that accurate tee shot and golf tee can be recovered. It is connected with auxiliary tee by elastic connecting cord to prevent golf tee from flying away, A golf club having excellent visibility that can prevent the loss of the golf club is also proposed.

However, the above-mentioned prior art is disadvantageous in that it is only one time that a fluorescent liquid is formed and emitted, and the possibility of repeated use is low, and there is a disadvantage in that the configuration for preventing the loss of the golf tee through connection with the auxiliary tee is also a primary There is a problem that the striking force of the golf ball can not be transmitted to the golf ball efficiently because it provides a repulsive force to the golf club while reducing the moving radius of the golf club being hit by the golf ball.

As a result, the conventional golf tee can be said to be low in ease of use and economical efficiency due to the complicated structure for achieving the variable function of the length, and the light emitting means proposed for the night golf game has a disadvantage in terms of complicated structure and use reproducibility. It is necessary to develop a technology that can solve the problems at the same time effectively.
