Description

Golf tee with adjustable insertion depth {GOLF TEE WITH ADJUSTABLE INSERTION DEPTH}

It relates to a golf tee whose insertion depth is adjusted so that the golf ball to be hit during a golf swing can be prepared by being placed at a predetermined distance from the ground.

Unless otherwise indicated herein, the material described in this section is not prior art to the claims of this application, and is not admitted to be prior art by inclusion in this section.

Generally, golf tees are used when a golfer makes a tee shot, and these golf tees are intended to improve the distance of the golf ball by preventing friction with the grass or ground during the swing.

Such golf tees are usually formed with a seating portion on the upper side where the golf ball rests, and an insertion portion that is inserted into the ground on the lower side. The seating portion is formed in a concave shape on the inside to prevent the golf ball from moving, allowing the golf ball to be placed safely, and the insertion portion has a sharp tip so that it can be inserted into the ground.

However, the degree to which a golf tee is inserted into the ground must vary depending on conditions such as the type of club used, the golfer's physical condition, and the strength of the wind, but conventionally, it was common for the golfer to determine this based on experience. However, it is difficult for beginner golfers with limited playing power to place the golf tee at the same depth every time, and recently, golf tees with a scale on the outside so that the golfer can accurately recognize the insertion depth are being used.

However, even when the scale is displayed, there are disadvantages such as the golf tee being inserted deeper or the scale displayed on the outside being difficult to see depending on the conditions such as the viscosity of the ground or the grass where the golf tee is inserted.

Meanwhile, the golfer must check the direction in which the golf ball should be sent before hitting the golf ball resting on the golf tee. However, in order to hit accurately during the swing, the golfer's head and eyes must be pointed precisely at the golf ball, so there was the inconvenience of having to repeatedly look at the golf ball and the direction in which the golf ball should be sent just before the swing. Moreover, as beginner golfers have to repeat these movements, their concentration in the swing is disrupted and they ultimately have difficulty sending the golf ball in the desired direction.

Hereinafter, the constituent members of the golf tee 1 whose insertion depth is adjusted and their operational relationships according to a preferred embodiment of the disclosed content will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4B.

First, the main body 10 is provided. This body 10 is inserted into the ground below the point where the golf ball is hit, and serves to mount the structural members that will be described later so that they can be used. This body 10 is formed in a linear bar shape, but the lower end is formed in a sharp shape so that it can be inserted into the ground. And on the outer periphery, a plurality of fastening grooves 11 are formed in multiple stages.

And the above-described fastening groove 11 serves to selectively fasten the support portion 30, which will be described later. For this purpose, the height of the golf tee exposed to the ground after being inserted is indicated by a number between the fastening grooves 11 and the fastening groove 11. For example, if the golf tee is to be placed in the ground at a height of 50 mm, the support portion 30 is located on the fastening groove 11 at the corresponding position.

In addition, a long hole 12 is formed through the upper end of the above-described main body 10 in the longitudinal direction, and a fastening hole 13 is formed through the lower side of the long hole 12 in the horizontal direction. The above-mentioned long hole 12 is located inside the seating portion 20, which will be described later, which is coupled to the upper side of the main body 10, and absorbs the shock when the main body 10 is hit by a golf club head, thereby maintaining the golf tee. It acts as a shock absorbing core material to prevent damage.

This body 10 is made of a hard synthetic resin material so that it can be pressed and inserted into the ground, but in some cases, it may be made of wood or metal material.

Meanwhile, a seating portion 20 is coupled to the upper side of the main body 10 where the long hole 12 described above is formed, and this seating portion 20 serves to ensure that the golf ball to be hit is stably positioned on the golf tee. For this purpose, a seating groove 21 is formed at the top of the aforementioned seating portion 20, and is made of synthetic rubber or soft synthetic resin material so as not to be damaged by impact from the head of a golf club.

A support part 30 is selectively inserted into the fastening groove 11 side of the main body 10 equipped with the above-described seating part 20. This support portion 30 serves to adjust the height at which the main body 10 is inserted into the ground by being supported on the ground while being selectively positioned in one of the plurality of fastening grooves 11 described above.

This support portion 30 is formed in a flat shape and a through hole 31 is formed in the center thereof, so that the main body 10 is inserted through the through hole 31. And a connection band 32 is connected to one end of the support portion 30, and this connection band 32 penetrates into the fastening hole 13 to prevent the support portion 30 from being separated from the main body 10 without permission. In addition, a plurality of separation prevention protrusions 321 are formed on the connection band 32 to prevent the connection band 32 from being removed without permission within the fastening hole 13.

The above-mentioned connecting band 32 is made of flexible rubber material, soft synthetic resin material, or elastic fabric material, so that when the golf tee 1 with adjustable insertion depth is not used, the insertion depth can be adjusted through this connecting band 32. The adjustable golf tee (1) can be stored tied to one side of a golf club or golf bag to prevent loss.

In addition, the above-mentioned support part 30 is formed in the shape of an arrow so that the hitting direction of the golf ball can be displayed, and an indicator line 33 is further displayed on the tip of the support part 30. Therefore, with the support portion 30 fastened within the fastening groove 11, the lower end of the main body 10 is inserted into the ground so that the direction of the tip of the arrow coincides with the direction in which the golf ball should be sent. In addition, as an arrow-shaped indicator line 33 is further displayed on the support part 30, the golfer can swing stably while looking at the indicator line 33 along with the arrow shape at the tip of the support part 30.

According to the golf tee with adjustable insertion depth as described above, the support part supported on the ground is provided on the main body to be height-adjustable, so the golf tee can be quickly and accurately inserted into the ground at the correct depth, and the hitting direction is indicated by the support part. Accordingly, a golfer can make an accurate swing by only looking at the golf ball while recognizing the hitting direction when swinging, enabling a highly accurate golf swing.

The disclosed content is merely an example, and various modifications and implementations may be made by a person skilled in the art without departing from the gist of the claims, so the scope of protection of the disclosed content is limited to the specific implementation described above.
