v w. M. DECKER G LF TEE Filed Nov. 24. 1924 Patented Dec. 8, 1925.
outrun stares WILLIAM MORE DECKER, OF BUFFALO, NEW YORK.
GOLF TEE.
Application filed November 24, 1924. Serial No. 751,734.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, WILLIAM Moan DECKER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Buffalo, in the county of Erie and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Golf Tees, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to a golf-tee or ball support to be used in place of the ordinary tee made of moistened sand which has the objection of soiling the hands and producing an uncomfortable grip on the clubs.
One object of the invention is the production of a light and compact tee which can be conveniently carried in the pocket which is inexpensive and which is not liable to be broken and therefore capable of repeated use.
A further object is the provision of a tee which will support a golf ball either in a high or low position, as desired.
In the accompanying drawings:
Figure 1 is a side elevation of the improved tee placed to support a ball in a high position. Figure 2 is a vertical section thereof. Figure 3 is a side elevation of the device reversed to support a ball in a low position. Figure 4 is a vertical section thereof in the last-mentioned position. Figures 5 and 6 are vertical sections of a modified construction of the reversible tee showing the same in high and low position, respectively.
Similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views.
Referring to the embodiment of the invention shown in Figs. 1 to 4, the device comprises a hollow reversible base 10 which is approximately dome-shaped and adapted to rest upon the ground. and a tubular ballsupporting post or member 11 mounted on the central part of the base. This post is either adapted to rise above the top of the base to form a high tee, as illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2; or to extend below the top of the base to form a low tee, as shown in Figs. 3 and4. For this purpose the device is constructed of soft rubber or other suitable flexible material. such as felt or leather, so that the base may be conveniently reversed from one position to the other, to raise the post above it. or lower and invert the post within it. The post is preferably of such length that when in its inverted position, illustrated in Fig. 4, its lower end is level with the lower edge of the base, thus restin on the ground and acting as astrut which supports the central elevated part of the base.
By making the post of hollow or tubular form, dirt or other foreign matter is not liable to lodge in it. rendering it self-cleaning and preventing fouling thereof.
However. the tubular character of the post is not essential and I do not therefore wish to be limited to that particular construction. It could be made solid, if desired. as shown at 11% in. Figs. 5 and 6. In this case. the post is preferablv cupped at both ends to form concave ball-seats 13. 14 which prevent the ball from rolling off the post both in the hi h and low adjustments of the reversible tee.
If desired. the base of the device may be formed with a hole 15 for receiving one end of a tie or cord. not shown. bv which two of the tees may be connected together. say half a foot apart. to facilitate finding the used one in the player should drive it. as well as the ball.
VVb le snpnortin othe ball at either of two elevations. th s ble tee has the further advantages of li htness. compactness. durabilitv and econornv. being practically unbr akable and emblino t to be used r eatedlv. .As the entire device can be molded or formed in a sin le piece from soft rubber or other s it ble material. it can produced at small cost.
nbvious t e oet, may be made longer. or shor er. as desired.
I claim a rnv invention 2- 1. A flexible golf tee. com rising a reversible dome-shaped base and a ball-supporting post mounted on the base and roi in bove i s el v d l'OT) in one position of the b se and extendin below said top in th rpvprgorl --nqitin-n n'F tlwp lqngg 2. A combination hi h and low golf-tee. comprising a hollow reversible bas and a ba l-su o t g o t moun ed on the base-v said post rising above the elevated top of the ba e in one position thereof. and extendin down into the se to the lev l o ts bo t m ed e in the other reversed position of the base to form a su port for said elevated top.
3. A combina on high and low golf-tee. comprising a hollow reversible base and a tubular ball support mounted on the elevated top of the base, said support rising above said top in one position of the base and extending below the same in the other re- 5 versed position of the base.
} 4. A combination high and low golf-tee, comprising a hollow reversible base and a tubular nost and strut mounted on the elevated top of the base. said post rising above said top in one position of the base and extending down into the base to the level of its bottom edge in the other reversed position of the base.
