Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail. In the embodiments described below, the reference numerals of elements corresponding to each other denote the same numbers, and overlapping descriptions will be omitted.

First, with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3 will be described a first embodiment according to the present invention. 1 is a perspective view of a golf tee 1 according to a first embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line II-II of the golf tee 1 of Figure 1, Figure 3 is a golf tee of Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram for demonstrating the manufacturing process of (1).

1 to 3, the golf tee 1 of the first embodiment includes an insertion body 10 and a support tube 20.

The insert body 10 may be made of wood, metal, or synthetic resin, and at least a portion of the insert body 10 may be inserted in a vertical direction to the ground. The insertion body 11 includes a head portion 11 exposed to the ground and an insertion portion 12 protruding from the center of the lower surface of the head portion 11. The insertion part 12 is comprised from the columnar columnar part 13 and the conical attachment 14 here.

Here, the head portion 11 has the shape of a rotating body as a whole, jig coupling groove (11a) is formed in the center of the upper end jig (zig) used in the molding process of the support tube 20 described later is formed have. And the insertion portion 12 consisting of the pillar portion 13 and the attachment 14 is a portion that is inserted into the ground when the user applies the insertion force to the golf tee (1). At this time, the attachment 14 is formed to be pointed like a tip of the nail so that the insertion portion 12 can be easily inserted into the ground, and the thread is formed on the outer circumference of the pillar portion 13 so that the insertion is easier. Formed.

The support tube 20 is coupled to the upper side of the insertion body 10 at the lower end and is provided to support the golf ball seated at the upper end. The support tube 20 is wrapped around the head portion 11 of the insertion body 10, the coupling portion 21 is coupled to the head portion 11 and formed from the upper end of the coupling portion 21 is the upper end portion Is provided with a hollow portion 22 for supporting the golf ball seated. In this embodiment, the coupling portion 21 is provided to surround the entire head portion 11, in accordance with the embodiment coupling portion 21 may be provided only on the upper portion of the head portion (11).

In addition, an empty space, that is, a hollow (S, 中空) is formed inside the hollow portion 22 of the support tube 20, and the hollow (S) is buffered against the impact applied to the golf tee by receiving air. In addition, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the upper end of the hollow portion 22 on which the golf ball is seated is provided in a circular shape, and the upper end of the hollow portion 22 may be changed into various shapes such as polygonal or symmetrical closed curves.

In addition, the lower end of the hollow portion 22 adjacent to the coupling portion 21 is provided with a recess 23 recessed inwardly. When a part of the hit is applied to the golf tee 1, the recess 23 can be stretched and narrowed in the up and down direction, and in this process, the hit can be further buffered.

As such, the support tube 20 formed of the coupling part 21 and the hollow part 22 has a uniform thickness (t) as a whole, and is made of a material that is relatively soft and elastic as compared with the insert body 21 of a hard material. Is produced. As the support tube 20 is provided as an elastic tube, the support tube 20 is light in weight and has elasticity.

Since the support tube 20 is light in weight, the amount transmitted to the golf tee 1 of the total hit amount when the golf tee 1 is hit with the golf ball may be minimized. In more detail, when the hitting support tube 20 also has a movement component that moves in the same direction as the movement direction of the golf ball, the lighter the weight of the support tube 20 is transmitted to the support tube 20 The blow amount can be reduced. As such, when the hit amount applied to the support tube 20 is reduced, the hit amount applied to the golf ball is relatively increased, and thus the distance of the golf ball can be improved for the same total hit amount.

And, since the support tube 20 has an elastic force, while the impact force is applied to the support tube 20, the impact force is temporarily absorbed while being elastically deformed in the strike direction, and when the impact is completed, the support tube 20 can be restored to its original shape again. do. At this time, the air received in the hollow (S) of the support tube 20 helps to buffer the impact force applied to the support tube (20). As such, the impact force applied to the support tube 20 by the shock absorbing force of the support tube 20 itself and the buffer action of the air contained in the hollow (S) is not transmitted to the insertion body 10 to which the support tube 20 is coupled. Therefore, even if a strike is applied to the golf ball and the support tube 20, the golf tee 1 can be kept inserted into the ground without being separated from the ground (G, see FIG. 2).

On the other hand, if the soft support tube 20 is made lightly, it is advantageous in terms of flying distance, but it is difficult to be too light so as not to support the golf ball at least. Based on this point, the ratio of the thickness t (see FIG. 2) and the height H (see FIG. 2) of the support tube 20 is preferably about 1:15 to 1: 300. At this time, the height H of the support tube 20 is specifically, the height of the hollow portion 22. If the ratio between the thickness and the height of the support tube 20 is 1: 300 or more, the support force for supporting the golf tube 20 to the golf ball becomes too weak to make it difficult for the support tube 20 to stably support the golf ball. do. On the other hand, if the ratio of the thickness and height of the support tube 20 is less than 1:15, the weight of the support tube 20 becomes too large, making it difficult to achieve the purpose of reducing the distance loss of the golf ball.

On the other hand, the support tube 20 may be manufactured with a heat shrink tube. In this case, the heat shrink tube is a flexible tube that contracts when heat is transmitted by a heat source such as high temperature steam or light. Referring to FIG. 3, a method for manufacturing a golf tee 1 using the heat shrink tube is as follows. As shown in FIG. 3, one end of the jig Z corresponding to the shape of the hollow S (see FIG. 2) is coupled to the jig coupling groove 11a formed on the upper surface of the insertion body 10. Then, the insertion body 10 and the jig Z are arranged in a space in the cylindrical heat shrink tube T, and then heat is applied to the heat shrink tube T through a heat source such as high temperature steam or light. (T) is in contact with the insertion body 10 and the jig (Z) while contracting in a shape corresponding to the insertion body 10 and the jig (Z) while shrinking. The jig (Z) is removed and removed to complete the manufacture of the golf tee (1).

As such, when the forming of the support tube 20 and the coupling body 10 are combined using the heat shrinking tube, the manufacturing process of the golf tee 1 is simplified, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost of the golf tee 1. There is an advantage.

Thus, when the impact is applied to the support tube 20 together with the golf ball, the performance of the support tube 20 that absorbs the impact force while the corrugated structure 24 contracts and deforms up and down can be further improved. In the golf tee 2 of the present embodiment, a plurality of air access holes 22a are formed in the hollow portion 22. Through the air access hole 22a, air is smoothly introduced into and out of the hollow S (see FIG. 2) in the process of deforming the hollow portion 22 of the support tube 20 and restoring it back to its original shape. You can enter and exit.
