Description

Golf swing exercise equipment {Device for practising golf swing}

The present invention relates to a golf mechanism, and more particularly, to a golf swing practice mechanism that can be freely and variously used conveniently and conveniently regardless of time and place.

In recent years, golf, which has enjoyed relatively explosive popularity, is rapidly becoming a popular sport in Korea. Moreover, unlike other ball games, it is recognized as a safe exercise that does not require physical contact with the opponent and fights against itself, so there is little risk of injury during exercise.

However, given the fact that it is difficult to secure sufficient fields or training grounds in a narrow country, it is an obstacle to widespread popularization because it requires some high cost. It is argued that in order for golf to escape from the social prejudice of luxury sports and become a true public sport, more than twice as many public courses must be secured than in the present, but domestic reality does not meet these expectations.

On the other hand, it is difficult to carry even one or two golf clubs necessary for swing practice because it is relatively long and heavy, and it is difficult to find a suitable swing practice place except for some paid practice sites. .

In addition, in recent years, except for golf clubs and baseball bats, even if you have fun while trying to exercise through a considerable swing exercise, there is no exercise equipment that can satisfy these exercise needs properly. Therefore, most of the busy and timeless modern people suffer from severe lack of exercise, and in particular, there is no provision of exercise equipment that can reduce the time and space constraints to the modern people.

Accordingly, the present invention has been devised in view of the above point, the object of the present invention is to provide a swing exercise mechanism using a golf swing practice mechanism or both arms that can be freely and variously used conveniently regardless of time and place. It is done.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a mechanism for swing practice, the handle for swing practice; A body formed of a material which can be bent by elastic deformation and coupled to the handle at one end thereof; And a weight body coupled to the lower end of the body via a lower connector.

The body of the present invention is formed by winding a high-elastic wire rod in the form of a coil in at least a part of the whole or the entire length.

The body of the present invention may further include an auxiliary connector 60 for coupling a variety of containers having a spiral at the inlet.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a perspective view showing a mechanism according to the present invention, which shows the lower end portion separated from the mechanism for swing practice. Overall, the handle 10 and the body 20 seem to resemble a golf club in appearance, but there is no head at the lower end of the body 20, and a weight body such as a golf ball 50 or a conventional beverage bottle of a special structure replaces it. It is.

Handle 10 according to the invention is integrally or detachably coupled to the top of the body 20. The handle 10 is provided with irregularities so as to be easily gripped by both hands, such as a grip of a golf club. However, since the mechanism of the present invention is not limited to the golf movement, it is also possible to vary the dimensions and shape of the uneven portion of the handle (10). Various examples of the handle 10 refer to FIGS. 4A-4F described below.

In addition, the body 20 according to the present invention is formed of a material that can be bent by elastic deformation, and has an upper connector 30 coupled to the handle 10 at the upper end. The body 20 corresponds to the shaft of the golf club and requires high elasticity. It is wound in the form of a coil in close contact with a high elastic resin such as a metal wire rod or fishing rod, and various shapes such as FIGS. 5A to 5D described below are possible. The upper connector 30 and the lower connector 40 which are located at the upper and lower ends of the body 20 are formed in an integral or combined structure. The lower connector 40 has a female thread 40a which engages with the weight body. The upper connector 30 can be configured as shown in Figures 6a to 6c to be described later as a function or simple decoration for the coupling.

The golf ball 50 may be used as the weight body according to the present invention, but the golf ball 50 includes a male screw 50a exposed to one side of the outer surface. The male screw 50a of the golf ball 50 is preferably matched to the specification of the spiral of the inlet coupled to the stopper in a general beverage container. The golf ball 50 and the male screw 50a may be integrally formed and have a hollow structure. Alternatively, the golf ball 50 and the male screw 50a may be molded by molding another material in the hollow part to vary the weight. On the other hand, since the golf ball 50 of the present invention is not hitting, elasticity is not so important.

2 is a perspective view showing a modification of the mechanism according to the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a configuration diagram showing another modification of the mechanism according to the present invention.

In FIG. 2A, the body 20 may further include an auxiliary connector 60 for coupling a container of various sizes having a spiral at the inlet. As illustrated here, the body 24 may be in the form of a rod rather than a coil (spring form). The point is the same. The auxiliary connector 60 is provided with a male screw 60a on one side and a female screw 60b on the other side at the same time, and may be formed of metal or high strength synthetic resin. Auxiliary connector 60 is utilized as needed when combining the container 52 of the different inlet spiral size. At this time, the lower connector 42 may be formed in a different form in conjunction with the standard of the auxiliary connector 60, but having a female screw 42a at one end is the same as the lower connector 40 described above. As shown in FIG. 2B, the body 24 and the lower connector 44 may be separated from each other. In this case, a male screw 24a is formed at the lower end of the body 24, and two or one female screws 44a independent of the lower connector 44 are formed.

In FIG. 3, the body 22 may be formed in a cone shape in which the diameter increases while going to the bottom, that is, in the form of a spring that increases in diameter toward the bottom. Accordingly, the diameter of the female screw 22a at the bottom is also increased, and the weight chain container 52 is directly coupled without the aforementioned auxiliary connector 60. Of course, it is also possible to combine the container of another specification via the above-described auxiliary connector 60 to the lower end of the body (22). This is a form closer to the club than golf clubs, but may be shortened. In this case, the present invention can be used as an exercise device using a club motion instead of golf practice.
