of parts hereinafter described, what I regard as constituting the invention" being defined by the claims appended hereto.
In order that the invention may be better understood, reference ismade to the accompanying drawings in which y Figure 1 is a plan view of my improved tee. i. Fig; 2 isa side elevation.
Fig. 3 is a plan view of the blank from which the ground contact memberis made. Fig. 4 is a detail view of a modified form of pin, and Figs. 5'and 6 are views of'a further modification. Referring by reference characters to this drawing, the, numeral .1 designates the ground contact member connected by a :tlex- "ihle element 2 witha weight- 3 as disclosed in my aforesaid application. 4 design the ball supporting member comprising a pin having a pointed lower end, aball supporting head 4%.
The ground cont-act member comprises a pair of spring arms 1*? and 1 which are adapted to normally spring apart so'as to lie at an an le, the one to the other. The are provide adjacent their free ends wit. eyes or openings 0. and b to receive the shank of the pin, and the size and disposition of the o enings is such that when the two arms 1 and 1* are pressed towards pin may be readily moved to any desired position relativethere-v to, while upon release of the arms they will spring apart and grip the surface of the pin and lock it in'its adjusted position.
The surface of the pin-may be roughened or corrugated to assist the gripping action, so but pie" with a plurality erably itis provided of narrow spaced annular ribs t -with wide intervening grooves. The openings at and h slightly exceed the size of the ribs so as to permit passage thereof and the spring it ing apart o the arms causes them to bind ground until arrested at the If it is desired to tee theadjustment is readily made by pressing ates , shank each other, the 1 inserted therein and against opposed faces "of adjacent ribs or flanges, thus aiiording a positive but easily releasable lock. The parts are so arranged and proportioned that when the arms are in gripping posit-ion the axis of the pin will be perpendicular to the lower or ground contact arm 1. :With a pin thus held by the spring arms it vmay be inserted into the r proper height by contact of the lower arm with the-ground.
the ball higher or lower thespring arms towards each other to re lease the pin which may be slid further into the openings or partially withdrawn as desired.
Preferably the ground contact and pin gripping device is formed from a single blank of sheet metal as shown in Fig. 3 which may be easily'died or stamped out and which I told on linear-4s. lit is provided with a air of openings 1, 1", one on 1 each side ofthe line of fold, and equi distant therefrom to form an eye for attachment of the flexible weight connecting element, which ;are preferably elongated as shown,, andgwith the i Instead oii making thepin in one piece as shown in the figures abovereferred to, which requires thatit be entirelyof metal, ll may make itoif a'plural'ity ctparts firmlyconnected together, as for example,'the. body of the pin may bemade of fiber or. other cheap non-metallic material, as shown at t, provided with a separately formed ball receiving cap 't 'of paper or fibre having a secured in-an opening in the top of the pin hy glue or other suitable means, and havinga g'roiind penetrating point 45 of metal similarly secured to its lower end.
The body of the pin'may grooves or corrugationsto assist the grip. ping action. Obviously thehead of the pin maybe made of-difierent heights and may be shaped as indicated st l and 4% in Figs. 5 and 6 to more efitectually protect the ground contact member. grooved in the manner "n I claim: 1 I l.
