Description

Golf Tee Comprising Chemical Light Sensitive Material

The present invention relates to a tee (Tee) as an auxiliary means for separating the golf ball from the ground when the tee shot in the teeing ground of each hole of the golf stadium. More specifically, it is a flexible golf golf tee that allows the ball to be stably spaced from the ground, and the golf ball and the tee are hit at the same time so that the tee can be easily found even when the tee flies away from the home position. The transparent tee is formed so that a hollow portion is formed in the body, and relates to a golf tee having a chemiluminescent body embedded therein.

Golf is a type of ball game developed in Scotland. Dig 18 small holes that are 4.25 inches in diameter and 4.0 inches or more deep in a vast stadium. Players go round to golf clubs. It is a game in which a player hits a golf ball and puts a ball into each hole.

In addition, various kinds of goods are used for such golf. The batting rod used to hit a golf ball is called a club, and the first ball in each hole is called a tee shot. The area is called a teeing ground or tee box, and the tee shot is tee shot using a wood club or an iron club depending on the distance of each hole.

At this time, in order to make a tee shot, the player may simply place the ball on the grass of the teeing ground or use the fill, tee and sand made by the player to position the ball high from the ground. Generally, the ball is spaced from the ground. The tee is mainly used as a means for making a golf tee, but there are various shapes of the golf tee, but the lower part is generally pointed and configured to be easily plugged into the ground, and the upper part of the ball support formed with a groove to put the ball on the top. It is provided.

If a player takes a tee shot on the teeing ground, put the bottom of the tee on the ground with the ball on top of the tee, or put the tee on the ground first and put the ball on the top of the tee so that the ball is separated from the ground. The club then lifts the club backwards and then hits the ball at the face of the club head. In the conventional tee, when the club head hits the ball and the tee simultaneously, when the ball and the tee are blown together by the tee shot and fly around the player from the original position, there is a problem that the tee cannot be easily found.

In particular, in recent years our country's golf population is rapidly increasing due to the rapid popularity of golf, while the supply of golf courses is very short. In addition, even before sunrise or after sunset, golf games are conducted under lights. In such a time, even when the lights are dark, the situation is dark, and the used tee can not be found after the tee shot. In addition, even when the game proceeds under conditions such as misty areas, rainy days, etc. When using the golf tee embedded with the chemiluminescence of the present invention, the tee can be easily found. This delay can be compensated for and helps the game run smoothly.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, the ball and the tee is hit together to prevent the loss even if the tee fly away from the original position of the player, when the tee shot inside the force of the blow It is to provide a golf tee that can be added to the fun of the game by letting the glass ampoule of the light starts to break.

The object of the present invention is achieved by a golf tee formed by forming a hollow portion in the body of the flexible and transparent plastic tee through which light is transmitted to embed the chemiluminescent body in the hollow.

Golf tei of the present invention is composed of a main body 10, the hollow portion 23 is formed, and a chemiluminescence body 30 embedded in the hollow portion 23 of the body (10). The main body 10 of the golf tee of the present invention is made of a plastic material and is composed of a hollow part 23, an upper part 25, and a lower part 22. The chemiluminescent material 30 is composed of a fluorescent liquid 34 and a reaction liquid 32, and a constitution of the plastic capsule 31 in which the glass ampoule 33 and the reaction liquid 32 into which the fluorescent liquid 34 is injected is embedded. (A first configuration example) or, conversely, a glass ampoule 33 into which a reaction solution 32 'is injected and a plastic capsule 31 containing a fluorescent solution 34' (second configuration example) Can be.

The golf tee of the present invention configured as described above is used by applying a bending or bending force to the hollow portion 23 of the main body 10 before the golf game. At this time, the applied force breaks the glass ampoule 33 in which the fluorescent liquid 34 or the reaction liquid 32 'is embedded, so that the fluorescent liquids 34, 34' and the reaction liquids 32 and 32 'are mixed. The reaction takes place and emits light. Of course, even if the shot is taken as it is without destroying the glass ampoule 33 in which the fluorescent liquid 34 or the reaction liquid 32 'is embedded in advance, the glass ampoule 33 embedded in the blow of the golf club is broken and emits light.

The main body 10 of the golf tee of the present invention is molded by an injection molding method by adding a small amount of a light stabilizer to a plastic material such as polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP) having flexibility and transparency. By using the light stabilizer as described above, it is possible to reduce the deterioration of the luminescence performance of the fluorescent material during the distribution period. The light stabilizer that can be used in the present invention may be, for example, benzophenone derivatives, salicylic acid esters, benzotriazole derivatives and HALS (Hindered Amine Light Stabilizer), and the amount thereof is 0.1 to 5% by weight relative to the PE or PP. .

The material constituting the main body 10 of the golf tee of the present invention should have flexibility because the glass ampoule 33 of the chemiluminescent body 30 to be built should be broken. Since the golf tee of the present invention is flexible, a space between the tee main body 10 and the capsule 31 embedded in the tee main body 10 to prevent the tee from being easily bent or bent on the ground when the tee is inserted into the ground. By minimizing the increase in the adhesiveness of the capsule 31 to the tee body 10 can be given a strength that can be easily plugged into the ground. The capsule 31 of the chemiluminescent material 30 inserted into the hollow portion 23 of the tee body 10 is transparent and soft, such as polyethylene, polypropylene, or ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA), and is not easily broken or broken. The plastic material is used to prevent destruction of the capsule 31 when the glass ampule 33 into which the fluorescent liquid 34 or the reaction liquid 32 'is injected is destroyed. On the other hand, in order to suppress moisture permeation, the plastic used for the tee body 10 and the plastic different from the material of the capsule 31 are used. For example, when the tee main body 10 is polyethylene, the capsule 31 uses polypropylene or ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA). In addition, by further embedding a dehumidifying agent 21 such as silica in the hollow portion 23 of the tee body 10, it is possible to remove the moisture transmitted through the tee body 10.

The capsule 31 is made of tubular plastic having a diameter of 2 mm to 5 mm and a length of 15 mm to 60 mm, and contains a glass ampoule 33 into which a fluorescent liquid (first structural example) or a reaction liquid (second structural example) is injected. The reaction solution 32 or the fluorescent solution 34 'is injected and sealed. The glass ampoule 33 contained in the capsule 31 has a tube shape having a diameter of 1 mm to 2 mm and a length of 10 mm to 30 mm, and is sealed by injecting a fluorescent solution (Configuration Example 1) or a reaction solution (Configuration Example 2).

The fluorescent liquids 34 and 34 'used in the present invention are bis (2-carbonpentyloxy-3,4,6-trichlorophenyl) oxalate {Bis (2-Carbopentyloxy-), which is commonly referred to as oxalate. 3,4,6-trichlorophenyl) Oxalate}, and the reaction solution 32 (32 ') is hydrogen peroxide (H ₂ O ₂ ; hydrogern peroxide). In addition, by adding a small amount of various fluorescent dyes to the fluorescent or reaction solution, various colors such as red, pink, yellow, green, blue, violet, etc., which are preferred by competitors The luminous material of can be obtained.

As a dye which can be added to the said fluorescent liquid or reaction liquid, it is green, for example, BOE [CAS No.10075-85-1, B.P.E.A; 9, 10-Bis (Phenylethynyl) Anthracene}, Blue 2-CB A {CAS No.135965-21-8, 2-cBEPA; 2-chloro-9, 10-bis (4-ethoxyphenyl) anthracene}, yellow bifiene {CAS No.18826-29-4, BPEN; 5, 12-Bis (Phenylethynyl) naphthacene}.

Golf tee embedded with the chemiluminescent body 30 according to the present invention, when the user bends the tee to break the glass ampoule 33, or impacts during the golf swing to break the glass ampoule 33, the fluorescent liquid 34 ( 34 ') and the reaction liquids 32 and 32' are mixed to emit a chemical reaction. In addition, when the dye is added, it emits light in various colors depending on the color of the added dye.

Figure 5 is a picture showing the golf tee embedded with a chemiluminescent light emitter according to the present invention is shown in a variety of colors depending on the dye added to emit light in the dark.

The light emission time of the chemiluminescent material of the present invention can be adjusted by the composition ratio of the fluorescent liquids 34, 34 'and the reaction liquids 32, 32'. Considering that the average time for a game of 18-hole golf is 4 to 6 hours, the duration of luminescence is sufficient for 2 to 3 hours, considering that 9 holes are played before sunrise or after sunset. Is evaluated.

According to the invention, and the luminance at an initial luminance 5000-20000 milli candela flops square meter (mcd / m ^2), and the luminance after 3 hours Fluorescence liquid 34 relative to the 1000~2000mcd / m ² (34 ') and It is preferable to constitute the reaction liquids 32 and 32 '.

When the above light emission luminance is evaluated according to the DIN67510 standard, which is the German standard of visual recognition, the criterion of clearly showing the contour of the object is 5mcd / m ² , which corresponds to the luminance that can last 8 hours. This is a luminance that can give sufficient brightness even in a golf game based on 18 holes.

An example of the composition ratio of the fluorescent liquid 34 and the reaction liquid 32 to have such luminance is, for example, 0.1 ml to 0.4 ml of the fluorescent liquid and 0.1 ml to 0.4 ml of the organic hydrogen peroxide liquid which is a reaction liquid reacting with it. This can be achieved by.

In the first configuration example of the chemiluminescent material used in the present invention, the glass ampoule 33 into which the fluorescent liquid 34 is injected is embedded in a plastic tube-shaped capsule 31 in which the reaction liquid 32 is incorporated, thereby preventing UV and moisture. It is to prevent the arrival of ultraviolet light and moisture to the sensitive fluorescent solution 34 as much as possible. The fluorescent liquid 34 used in the present invention is sensitive to ultraviolet rays and moisture, whereas the golf tee of the present invention to which the fluorescent liquid is applied is continually exposed to ultraviolet rays or moisture in the air during distribution. It is necessary to prevent the arrival of ultraviolet rays and moisture at 34 as much as possible. Accordingly, the first structural example of the chemiluminescent material of the present invention includes a glass ampoule 33 into which the fluorescent solution 34 is injected into the reaction solution 32, thereby refraction or reflection of ultraviolet rays by the reaction solution 32, thereby causing the fluorescent solution to be dissolved. The amount of ultraviolet radiation reached up to (34) can be greatly reduced.

The second structural example of the chemiluminescent material 30 which can be used in the present invention is the fluorescent liquid and the reaction liquid as opposed to the first structural example, that is, the glass ampoule 33 into which the reaction liquid 32 'is injected, the fluorescent liquid 34 As the chemiluminescent body 30 embedded in the capsule 31 incorporating '), the chemiluminescent body 30 having such a configuration has been used as a fishing light emitting body. Conventional chemiluminescent material is a structure in which a glass ampoule 33 into which a hydrogen peroxide is injected, which is a reaction solution 32, is embedded in a capsule in which a fluorescent liquid 34 is embedded. There was a problem in that it is easy to come into contact with the light emitting performance of the fluorescent liquid 34 immediately. In order to solve this problem, fishing chemical light-emitting bodies are generally packaged in opaque shading.

The fishing light emitter is extremely limited in terms of the consumer's characteristics, and the shape, color, and structure of the article are not necessary, so even if it is opaque light-packed packaging for UV protection, there is no problem in selling. However, since golf tees have a significant influence on the design of the shape, structure, color, etc., it is common for consumers to directly check and purchase the golf tees. Therefore, golf tees cannot be packaged and sold in opaque shading packaging. However, the conventional chemiluminescent body can be used as the chemiluminescent body embedded in the golf tee of the present invention, even if the golf tee is exposed to ultraviolet rays during the distribution process, the ultraviolet light can be blocked by the light stabilizer added to the tee body 10. This is because it can block ultraviolet rays by packing it in a transparent plastic case to which a light stabilizer is added.

The golf case's packaging case of the present invention is the shape and structure of a typical golf tee packaging case except that the addition of a light stabilizer to a transparent plastic such as polyvinyl chlorite (PVC) or polyethylene terephthalate (PET) Has By adding 0.1 to 5% by weight of a light stabilizer during molding of the packaging case, the radiation amount of ultraviolet rays irradiated to the golf tee of the present invention during the distribution process in the packaging case is reduced, and the ultraviolet light passing through the packaging case is the golf tee body of the present invention. The light stabilizer contained in (10) again performs the ultraviolet ray blocking function to maintain the light emitting function of the fluorescent liquid 34 even during a long distribution period. This can be seen from the examples below.

Example 2

Each of the four chemiluminescent materials of the first and second structural examples prepared in Example 1 was embedded in the eight hollow parts 23 to which 2 wt% of a light stabilizer (ultraviolet absorber) was added, respectively, and 2 wt% of ultraviolet absorbers. After 3 days, 30 days, 90 days and 180 days, the glass ampoule 33 was broken after being packaged in a molded polyethylene terephthalate case and added to the room. The luminance was measured according to the test method of DIN 67510. Is shown in Table 2.

As can be seen from the above embodiment, in the case of the chemiluminescent material according to the first constitutional example of the present invention, sufficient brightness is maintained even during the distribution period of 6 months regardless of whether the tee body 10 and its packaging container have ultraviolet absorbers added thereto. Can be. On the other hand, the conventional chemiluminescent body shows an unsuitable luminance to be applied to the golf tee of the present invention after three months when left indoors. However, in the case where the light stabilizer is added to the tee body 10 of the present invention and packaged in a packaging case in which the light stabilizer is added and molded, sufficient luminance can be applied to the golf tee of the present invention even after 6 months of shelf life. It can be seen that it represents.

Golf tee embedded with the chemiluminescent body of the present invention can be configured in various shapes and structures. Any shape or structure can be used as long as the structure can incorporate a chemiluminescent body. For example, the body 10 and the upper portion 25 may be integrally formed, and the chemiluminescent body may be inserted into the hollow portion 23, and then sealed together with a molded cover or sealed with an adhesive.

In addition, a method of inserting the light emitting tube into the circular space inside the tee main body 10 and sealing the inlet may be used. When injection molding the tee main body 10, the double injection molding the light emitting tube in advance is injected. It is possible to maintain the chemiluminescence more stably by increasing the adhesion by using the (insert injection) method, and at the same time by further reducing the moisture absorption. In addition, the main body 10 and the upper portion 25 in which the hollow portion 23 is formed may be separately configured to embed the chemiluminescent material 30 in the hollow portion 23 of the main body 10, and then combine the upper portion 25. have.

On the other hand, the shape and structure of the golf tee according to the present invention can be configured by various modifications. FIG. 6 is a photograph showing a state of emitting light in the dark of a golf tee having a chemiluminescence body having a different appearance according to the present invention, and showing a state in which light is emitted in various colors according to added dyes.

Golf tee embedded with the chemiluminescence of the present invention has the effect of emitting light even in the dark. Golf tee embedded with the chemiluminescent material of the present invention forms a double or triple UV blocking wall for protecting the UV-sensitive fluorescent solution and the reaction solution. It has the effect of giving sufficient light emission luminance. Accordingly, the golf tee of this nickname can be easily found when using the tee before sunrise or after sunset to prevent the loss of the tee, and also enjoy the fun of seeing the light of the tee jumping up into the air during use. As a result, there are not only a few side effects that provide a hot topic that can naturally start a conversation with a companion.

In addition, it is easy to find a tee when playing a game in a foggy area, a rainy day, etc., which helps compensate for the delay in the game time due to the time spent looking for a tee. .
