UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
JAMES F. FLAHERTY, 0F PHILADELPHIA, PENITS YL`V'ANIA..v i
GOLF TEE.
Application filed September 5, 1925` Serial No. 54,589.
To all 'whom 'it may concern:
Be it known that I, JAMES F. FLAHERTY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Golf Tees, whereof the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.
My invention relates to a portable device including the combination with a wire nail having a head in unitary relation therewith;
. of a primarily separa-te cup shaped washer support for a golf which is rigidly connected with said nail beneath said head so as to extend above the latter and form an, annular receptacle; which device. may be repeatedly used as a ball; said nail being thrust into the ground so as -to present said receptacle to receive such a ball.
My invention includes the various novel features of construction and arrangement hereinafter more definitely specified.
In said drawings; Fig. I is a vertical sectional view of lmy the same set in the ground and holding a. golf ball.
Fig. II is a vertical sectional View showing a modified form of my invention.
Referring to Fig. I; lthe golf tee comprises the stem 1, conveniently formed of an ordinary cylindrical steel wire nail, having the at head 2, which is seated in the cup shaped washer 3 inrcoaxial relation with the upwardly extending annular flange 4 of said washer; said washer having the tubular sleeve 5 extending beneath said head 2 and tightly fitting said stem 1.
I find it convenient to form said stem 1 of steel, as above mentioned and to form said washer 3V of ressed sheet brass, and to permanently unite them and prevent corrosion thereof by providing them with a Ymetallic coating 7; which is conveniently formed by diplping the assembled nail and washer in mo ten tin.
Although I prefer to form said washer 3 of small diameter in comparison with the dimensions of a glf ball 8 as indicated in Fig. I; it is to be understood that a suitable ball receptacle may be made of larger diameter and diEeren-t form; for instance, as indicated at 9 in Fig. II.
It may be observed that in either form of my invention the golf ball 8 rests upon the improved device showing annular rim of the tee so as to be 'securely held therein. Moreover, although in Fig. I, I have shown said tee with its stem thrust into the ground 10 only as far as the lower end of said washer 3; it is to be understood that it may bc otherwise employed; for instance, as shown in Fig. II, it may be thrust into the ground until its annular flange 4 is flush with the latter, so 'that the golf ball may be conveniently rolled into the receptacle thus formed, without the necessity for the operator to manually' pick it up and place it.
Furthermore, although I prefer tol form the stem of the tee of a wire nail having a head 2 and point 11; the latter serving to facilitate the operation of placing it in the ground; a suitable stem may be formed of a cut length of cylindrical wire .as indicated at 12 in Fig. II. u
Therefore, I do not desire to limit myself to the precise details of construction and arrangement herein set forth as it is obvious that various modifications may be made therein without depart-ing from the essentialV features `of my invention as defined in the appended claims.
I claim:
` 1. A golf tee comprising a metallic stem i having one end pointed and adapted rto be thrust? into the ground and having a head at its opposite end, and a metallic cup rigidly connected with said stem, at the upper end thereof, and comprising an 'annular flange extending upwardly beyond said head and forming areceptacle in which a ball may be set, and also comprising a tubular sleeve fitted to said stem, in lrigid relation therewith, beneath said head.
2. A golf tee comprising a metallic stem adapted to be thrust into the ground and a primarily separate metallic cup rigidly connected with said stem, at the upper end thereof, and comprising an annular flange forming a receptacle in which a ball may be set; and a metallic coating extending over said stem and cup and permanently uniting them.
3,'A golf-tee comprising a metallic stem having one end pointed and adapted to be thrust into the ground and having a head at its opposite end, and a metallic cup rigidly connected with said-stem, at, the upper 'end thereof, and comprising an annular ,ange extending upwardly beyond said head ,I .and forming a receptacle in which a ball may y be set, and also comprising a tubular sleeve fitted to said stem, in rigid relation therewith, beneath said head; and a metallic coating extending over said stem and cup and permanently uniting them.
4. A golf tee comprising a cylindrical steel wire nail having a head at one end thereof, and a pressed sheet brass cup including a tubular sleeve surrounding said nail beneath said head, and an annular flange projecting upwardly from said head Aforming a receptacle in whicha ball may be set.
5. A golf teecomprising a steel stem adapted to be thrust into the ground and
