UNITED STATES DONALD O. MOBRIDE, LlUIiDl'G, TEXAS.
GOLF-BALL TEE.
Application filed February 23, 1926. Serial I'm 90,173.
The present invention relates to golf ball tees, the primary object of the invention being to rovide a tee constructed of cardboard, eavypaper or the like material 6 and formed in such'a way that it may be conveniently carried in the pocket of the user, the tee requiring but little space in the pocketpf the user.
An important object of the invention is W to so construct the tee that by punching the central portion thereof with the fingers, upwardly extended su porting members will be provided on whic the golf ball may be posltioned to be struck b the club.
A further object of the invention is to rovide a tee of this character which will ave a substantially large base to insure against the tee to pling over under wind pressure or irregu arities that might occur on the surface on which the golf tee is positioned.
A still further object of the invention is to provide a tee which may be cheaply constructed, and one which ,willnot be easily lost when struck with the club of the user in hitting a ball.
' With the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the com- I bination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, .it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed, may be made 85 within the scope of what is claimed, without departing from the spirit of the invention.
Referring to the drawing Figure 1 is a perspective view of a golf 4 tee constructed in accordance with the invention.
Figure 2 is a side elevational view thereof.
Figure 3 is a transverse sectional view through the tee.
Figure 4 is a plan view of the tee before the supporting fingers have been forced from the body portion of the tee.
Referring to the drawing in detail, the
device includes a disk-like body-portion 5 constructed preferably of cardboard material, heavy paper or the like, but it is tobe understood that any desired thin sheet material ma be employed in the construction of the go f tee without departing from the spirit of the invention.
' fingers may line between the fingers o In the. formation of the tee, the central rtion of the body is cut as at 6 and 7, the ines being diagonallydisposed. Cuts 8 are also formed in the material, defining supporting fingers 9 that are disposed in s aced relation with each other as clearly s own by Figure 1.
In the formation of the fingers 9, a finger 10 is formed, the side edges of the finger ea 10 at points beyond the extremities of the fingers 9 bein formed b cuts .11 and 12 respectively. ines 13 an 14 are formed at the bases of the fingers providing indicating lines wherein the fingers should be bent when moved to their operative positions as shown by Figure 1, which movement of the e accomplished by the thumbs of the person using the tool, 1t being only necessary to force the fingers 9 and 10 outwardl from the body portion on the lines 13 an 14.
When the fingers 9 and 10 have been moved to their operative positions, it will. be obvious that a three point support is provided, in such a way that a golf ball may rest between the oints in a manner as shown by Figure 2 an be held in its roper teed osition for striking with a golf club.
I c aim:"- @551 1. A golf ball tee including a body portion formed of sheet material, supporting members. stamped from the body portion, one of the supporting members being constructed to define a .pair of supporting fingers, the opposite sup orting member including a supporting tger disposed in a the opposite supporting member, and said supporting members adapted to be extended above the body portion.
2. A golf ball tee including a body portion constructed to provide a base, said bod portion being formed of, sheet materia said body portion having diagonal cuts formed therein to provide a central supporting portion, the central supporting portion having diagonal cuts to provide a pair of supporting members, one of the supporting members including spaced fin ers, the opposite supporting member inc uding a single finger, and said supporting members adaptedto be extended beyondthe surface of the body portion.
Witness my hand, this the 17th day of 11 February, A. D. 1926.
