Description

Ball marker for golf {Ball maker for golf}

The present invention relates to a golf ball marker, and in particular, it is convenient to carry, and a golfer can simply mark on the green without having to bow down. It relates to a golf ball marker that can be used in various ways, such as determining the distance from the hole cup by obtaining location information through a GPS receiver.

In general, in a golf game, it is performed on a vast area of the field, and various equipment or portable items are possessed in a variety of ways.

Among them, the ball marker is a mechanism to mark the position of the ball instead of the golf ball so that the golfer's ball does not interfere with the path of the other golfer's batted ball. Therefore, the golfer always carries the ball marker during play.

Since these ball markers are formed in the form of a small disk so as not to obstruct the path of other golfers' batted balls, they are inconvenient to carry and there is a high risk of loss during use.

Accordingly, a magnetic ball marker clip has been developed so that the existing ball marker can be mounted on a hat by magnetism. The ball marker was slightly removed from the magnetic clip and used.

However, in the case of such a conventional ball marker, in order to mark the green using the ball marker, the golfer had to bow directly, and this was also the case when collecting the marked ball marker from the green.

As shown, the golf ball marker according to the embodiment of the present invention is a marking member 100 having a magnetic body 112 and a plurality of anchor pins 120 and the marking member 100 can be attached thereto. The attachment member 200 is included as a main component, and it is easy to carry and is configured so that a golfer can simply use a golf club to mark on the green without bending his or her back.

Hereinafter, a golf ball marker according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail based on the respective components.

The marking member 100 is basically provided with a disk-shaped body 110, and the marking member 100 is provided with a magnetic body 112 having a magnetic force on the upper surface of the body 110 as shown in FIG. , in particular it is possible to attach to a golf body. The lower surface of the main body 110 of the marking member 100 is provided with a plurality of anchor pins 120 formed long downward so as to be inserted into the green and fixed.

A noteworthy point in the configuration of the marking member 100 is that the magnetic body 112 having a magnetic force is not provided in the attachment member 200 but is provided in the marking member 100 . According to this configuration, the golfer attaches the marking member 100 having magnetic force to the lower end of the golf club without bending the waist, and then directs the anchor pin 120 downward and presses it firmly on the green. . After that, if the golf club is moved as if it is lightly scraped to the side without lifting it immediately, the golf club is safely separated from the marking member 100 fixed by the anchor pin 120 . Thereafter, in order to lift the marked marking member 100 from the green, it is not necessary to bend the waist, and gently lift the lower end of the golf club while in contact with the upper surface of the main body 110 of the marking member 100 located on the green.

In the center of the upper surface of the main body 110 of the marking member 100, a first LED 130 that is installed in a protruding form to emit light in a flashing manner is further provided, and at a point around the main body 110, the first LED ( A switch 140 for turning 130 on and off is provided in a protruding form. And a battery is built in the marking member 100 to supply electricity necessary for the first LED 130 to emit light. The battery may be provided as a rechargeable battery, but since the power consumption of the first LED 130 is not large, it is preferable to simply install a replaceable lithium-ion battery. In order to replace the battery, a cover 111 for opening and closing is provided on the upper surface of the main body 110 of the marking member 100 . As a result, the golfer presses the switch 140 to mark the necessary points on the green with the first LED 130 blinking, so that the marked points can be easily found later.

A buffer ring 113 is further installed on the periphery of the main body 110 as shown in FIG. 4 in the marking member 100 . This buffer ring 113 serves to mitigate the impact so as not to be damaged when the marking member 100 falls to the ground, and is made of a soft elastic material such as a rubber material or a urethane material.

Furthermore, a GPS receiver is built in the main body 110 of the marking member 100, and a communication interface for transmitting the location information received by the GPS receiver to the outside is further installed. In this way, it is possible to grasp the current location where golfers are playing with each other on the golf course through the screen of the smartphone. In addition, by installing a separate GPS receiver on the flagpole located in the hole cup or by installing a GPS receiver in another target location, information on the distance to the hole cup and other distances to the target can be easily found through the dedicated app. In order to fully utilize these functions, a dedicated app to be installed on the smartphone must be prepared.

The attachment member 200 is provided to make it easy to carry the marking member 100, and includes a plate-shaped attachment 210 made of a metallic material so that the marking member 100 having a magnetic force can be attached, and the attachment ( 210) It is installed on the lower surface and consists of a clip 220 that can be fixed by inserting the attachment 210 to the brim. Here, an inlet hole 211 through which the first LED 130 of the marking member 100 enters without interference is formed in the center of the attachment table 210 of the attachment member 200 . Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 1 , it is possible to attach the marking member 100 to the upper surface of the attachment member 200 in a close contact state without interference of the first LED 130 .

On the other hand, the golf ball marker according to the embodiment of the present invention is coupled in a form wrapped around the outside of the marking member 100 as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9 to the light emitting member 300 having the first LED 130 . It further includes a cover-type light emitting member 300 to emit light with a richer amount of light. To this end, the light emitting member 300 includes a disc-shaped casing 310 in which a battery is embedded, a ring-shaped second LED 330 installed along the periphery of the casing 310 to emit light, and a casing ( It is installed on the lower side of the 310 and consists of a pocket 320 made of an elastic material to accommodate the body 110 of the marking member 100 and to be coupled in a wrapped form. Here, in the case of the pocket 320, it may be made of a rubber material having elasticity so as to be stretchable, and as shown in the enlarged view of FIG. The inlet 321a is formed so that the main body 110 of the marking member 100 can enter and exit. In addition, an inlet groove 311 is formed in the central portion of the lower surface of the casing 310 exposed to the inside of the pocket 320 so that the first LED 130 of the marking member 100 can be retracted.

This light emitting member 300 has a more abundant amount of light by the ring-shaped second LED 330 in a state coupled to the main body 110 of the marking member 100 and emits light in a flashing manner, thereby making it easier for golfers to mark on the green. It has the advantage of making it possible to identify a point. In addition, the light emitting member 300 has an advantage that it can be used simply by combining it with a marker according to the prior art by the elastic pocket 320 .

Although preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above, various changes, modifications and equivalents may be used in the present invention. It is clear that the present invention can be equally applied by appropriately modifying the above embodiments. Accordingly, the above description is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention, which is defined by the limits of the following claims.
