Description

A golf tee improved on directing and trajectory}

The present invention relates to a golf tee, and more specifically, to a golf tee with improved directionality and trajectory that can be easily used on the field without being affected by terrain or season, and can easily determine the hitting direction.

In general, a golf tee is used by golfers at a golf course to support the golf ball when taking a tee shot within the tee ground (the starting area of each hole). These golf tees are conventionally made of synthetic resin such as plastic. Manufactured from material or wood.

However, if it is made of wood, a problem arises in that it is damaged when a golfer hits the golf tee with a golf ball, so a new golf tee must be purchased each time. If it is made of synthetic resin, it is inconvenient to fix it on the ground and the golfer's tee is damaged. There was some difficulty in adjusting the position of penetration into the ground according to the shot position.

As a prior art to solve this problem, the "golf tee" of Republic of Korea Patent No. 10-2240881 has been proposed.

The above-described prior art can be easily fixed to the ground, has durability that does not break even when colliding with a golf club, and is manufactured as an integrated piece to prevent the tee shot components from separating from each other even when a strong impact is applied due to a golfer's shot. We are proposing a golf tee that allows golfers to easily determine the direction of their shot after a tee shot, unfold it, and reuse it.

However, the above-described prior art not only cannot be used when the topography of the field is sandy ground or a puddle, but also has problems with being affected by the ground or season, such as when a golf tee cannot be planted and fixed on frozen ground in winter.

Figure 1 is a perspective view showing a golf tee according to the present invention, Figure 2 is a side view showing a golf ball seated on the golf tee according to the present invention, Figure 3 is a plan view showing the golf tee according to the present invention, and Figure 4 is an example of hitting a golf ball seated on a golf tee according to the present invention.

As shown in the drawing, the golf tee 100 according to the present invention is largely composed of a golf ball holder 110 and a main body 120.

First, a hemispherical golf ball holder 110 recessed inward is formed at the upper position of the golf tee 100 to accommodate the golf ball 1. In addition, a main body portion 120 having a diameter larger than that of the golf ball holder 110 is formed at the lower position.

At this time, the main body portion 120 extends to the lower part of the golf ball holder 110 and is placed on the floor to form a large-area support portion that stably supports the center of gravity of the golf ball 1.

At this time, the golf ball holder 110 and the main body 120 of the golf tee 100 may be manufactured in a disk shape.

At this time, when the diameter of the golf ball 1 is D, the golf ball holder 110 can have a diameter of 0.4 ~ 0.6D, and the diameter of the main body 120 can be 0.8 ~ 0.6D. It can be formed into a 2D diameter.

Additionally, the main body 120 may form a striking guide 121 that protrudes outward from the edge.

The hitting guide 121 serves as a scale to determine the hitting direction, and is formed on a straight line extending outward from the center of the main body 120, and the extending tip is sharply protruded to provide directionality. .

At this time, when the striking guide 121 is viewed in a planar direction, the protruding end may have a substantially triangular shape.

When the striking guide 121 is viewed from the side, the shape of the protruding end may form an inclined surface that gradually slopes downward toward the end. At this time, the inclined surface may form a curved surface curved in the inward direction.

In this way, the side of the hitting guide 121 is formed to be inclined to prevent interference with the golf club when the swing direction of the golf club is from the position of the hitting guide 121 toward the center of the main body 120.

Meanwhile, a scale hole (121a) may be formed at the tip of the striking guide (121).

The scale hole (121a) forms a hole that vertically penetrates the center position of the tip of the striking guide (121) and provides a reference point for drawing a virtual extension line connected to the center of the main body.

For example, as shown in Figure 3, the user can adjust the hitting direction using the golf tee of the present invention.

For example, the end of the virtual extension line extending past the center of the main body 120 of the golf tee and the scale hole 121a of the hitting guide is aligned with the direction in which the golf ball 1 is to be struck and forms a straight line of the golf tee 100. You can set the placement location.

Meanwhile, the main body 120 forms a cut surface 123 in which a portion of a section in one direction relative to the center line is cut in the shape of a "│" shape, thereby minimizing contact with the main body 120 when hitting a golf club. .

For example, the cut surface 123 is a cut surface formed at a position parallel to and spaced apart from the center line of the main body 120 in the direction outside the concentric circle from the center line when viewed from a planar direction, and the golf tee 100 of the present invention as a whole is It must have an eccentric structure.

This eccentric structure provides structural features that minimize contact between the golf club and the golf tee. Meanwhile, this eccentric structure allows the golf ball 1 to easily escape from the golf ball holder 110 even if the center of gravity of the golf ball 1 moves slightly toward the cutting surface 123.

This can be very useful in putting movements that require fine force control.

The cutting surface 123 and the striking guide 121 are located in orthogonal directions. For example, the main body 120 may be formed so that the striking guide 121 is located at the tip of the cutting surface 123 in a direction perpendicular to the center line.

Meanwhile, the main body 120 may be provided with a fixing hole 125 that allows a loop to be hung on the edge or a string to be tied.

At this time, the edge of the main body 120 is formed with a surface wide enough to form a fixing hole 125. This wide surface supports the left and right sides of the bottom of the main body 120, making it easier to walk in a straight line. You will have the advantage of improvement.

Hereinafter, the golf ball holder 110 will be described in more detail. The golf ball holder 110 may have a plurality of needle-shaped support protrusions 111 distributed on its hemispherical inner surface.

In particular, the needle-shaped support protrusions 111 are composed of needle-shaped protrusions that protrude upward from the hemispherical inner surface, and can be evenly distributed on the hemispherical inner surface to secure a wide support range for the golf ball 1 and ensure stable support. there is.

Meanwhile, by minimizing the contact area between the golf ball 1 and the needle-shaped support protrusion 111, the frictional resistance between the golf ball 1 and the golf tee 100 can be minimized when hitting the golf club, and as a result, the golf ball ( 1) It can contribute to improving distance and trajectory.

As shown in FIGS. 1, 3, and 5, the golf ball holder 110 penetrates the center of the hemispherical inner surface in the vertical direction to form an auxiliary tee coupling hole 113 for coupling the auxiliary tee 2. there is.

At this time, the auxiliary tee 2 can be used when it is necessary to fix or assist the golf tee 100 of the present invention on the field.

At this time, the auxiliary tee 2 may vertically penetrate the golf tee body 120 and be inserted into the ground to serve to fix the movement of the golf tee.

Meanwhile, the lower end of the auxiliary tee 2 can be combined with the golf tee 100 to increase the hitting point of the golf ball.

For example, the auxiliary tee 2 can be a commonly used short tee, and can be used to adjust the height by inserting this short tee into the auxiliary tee coupling hole 113 formed in the center of the main body 120. .

For example, when the ground is soft, such as in the case of a puddle, the existing needle-type golf tee cannot be fixed, but when the main body 120 has a large support area like the golf tee 100 according to the present invention, it can be easily mounted even on soft ground. It has the advantage of being usable.

For this reason, the golf tee 100 of the present invention provides the advantage of being useful even in sandy terrain.

Meanwhile, since there is water in the puddle, it is necessary to increase the hitting point from the golf tee 100. At this time, by using the auxiliary tee 2 in combination, the hitting point of the golf ball can be raised above the water level.

Meanwhile, the auxiliary tee coupling hole 113 may be formed in a "+" shape, and the straight direction of the crosshair may be formed in a straight line with the hitting guide 121 formed on the edge of the main body 120.

For example, the user sets the seating direction of the golf tee 100 by estimating that the straight direction of the crosshair of the auxiliary tee coupling hole 113 is located in a straight line with the scale hole 121a of the hitting guide 121.

Referring to FIGS. 1, 2, 3, and 5, the golf ball holder 110 according to the present invention may form an air tunnel 115 horizontally crossing the center on the hemispherical inner surface.

At this time, the straight direction of the air tunnel 115 is formed to be in a straight line with the striking guide 121 formed on the edge of the main body 120. Such an air tunnel 115 induces the pressure air to strongly escape through the air tunnel 115 when a golf club is struck, thereby achieving the effect of causing the golf ball 1 to be lifted by pressure.

Due to this levitation effect of the golf ball 1, distance and trajectory can be improved.

In other words, in the present design, the back of the golf tee 100, where the golf ball 1 is hit, is lifted, so that the strong wind generated when the golf club is swinging serves to lift the bottom of the golf ball 1.

In addition, the present invention connects the hair ball (3) or the auxiliary tee (2) to the wire (4) using the fixing hole (125) and the scale hole (121a) formed in the main body (120), so that when hitting a golf club, the golf tee ( 100) scattering distance can be limited.

Figure 6 is an example of using a wire and an auxiliary tee connected to a golf tee according to the present invention. Referring to Figure 6, the golf tee 100 according to the present invention connects one end of the wire 4 to the fixing hole 125 or the scale hole 121a formed in the main body 120, and the wire 4 The other end of can be connected to the auxiliary tee (2).

At this time, the auxiliary tee (2) is fixed by being driven into the ground at a certain depth, and both ends of the wire (4) form a hook-shaped loop so that it can be easily attached to and detached from the auxiliary tee (2) and the golf tee (100). .

Figure 7 is an example of using a wire and a hairball connected to a golf tee according to the present invention. Referring to Figure 7, the golf tee 100 according to the present invention connects one end of the wire 4 to the fixing hole 125 or the scale hole 121a formed in the main body 120, and the wire 4 The other end of can be connected to the hair bundle (3).

At this time, the hairball 3 is placed on the ground, and both ends of the wire 4 form hook-shaped rings so that the hairball 3 and the golf tee 100 can be easily attached and detached.

At this time, the hairball 3 is scattered together when the golf tee 100 is scattered by hitting a golf club, and the golf tee 100 is not scattered far away but falls nearby due to air friction resistance. , In addition, it is easily visible so that the golf tee 100 can be easily collected and loss of the golf tee 100 can be prevented.

The wire 4 as described above may be made of a highly elastic rubber band material.

Figures 8 and 9 are examples of putting using a golf tee according to the present invention.

Referring to the accompanying drawings, the golf tee 100 according to the present invention forms a round 123a in the section where the vertical cross section and the bottom surface of the main body 120 are connected in forming the cut surface 123 for putting. When the main body portion 120 is easily tilted in the putting direction, the golf ball can be naturally guided in the putting direction.

For example, by forming the starting point of the bottom surface of the round 123a to be as close to the center of gravity of the main body 120 as possible, the center of gravity of the golf ball 1 can be more easily moved.

The golf tee 100 according to the present invention has the advantage that it can be easily used by placing it directly on the field without being restricted by terrain or season due to the large bottom support area and the large golf ball support area.

For example, the golf tee 100 according to the present invention has the advantage of being able to be used even in puddles, sandy ground, or frozen ground in the winter.

Meanwhile, as shown in Figures 10 and 11, the golf tee of the present invention has the advantage of being easy to use on inclined surfaces.

10 and 11 are examples of using the golf tee according to the present invention on a sloped surface.

As shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, when the golf tee 100 according to the present invention is used on a sloped surface, the hitting guide 121 faces downward on the sloped surface, and the cutting surface 123 faces upward on the sloped surface. Let it go and use it.

With the golf tee 100 placed as described above, the user can hit the golf ball in the direction of a downward slope as shown in FIG. 10, or may hit the golf ball in the direction of an upward slope as shown in FIG. 11.

As seen above, the golf tee 100 of the present invention may be made of a rubber material.
