com? TEE.
Application filed March 19, 1927. Serial No. 178,810.
My invention relates to golf tees.
It is the object-of my invention to provide a golf tee which will not turn in the ground and will maintain itself in a firm 6 steady posit-ion resisting the torsional effect of the impact of the ball, as it is seldom that the club hits the ball squarely, and, as a result torsional strains are set up which serve to rotate the tee loosening it from the ground and ejecting it.
It is a further object of my invention to provide in this combination a golf ball sup porting head in which the points of support or lines of support will be adequate for positioning the ball, but will be of the minimum area and will be so arranged that the body of the tee will be sufliciently removed from the points of support so that the ball will not come in contact with the body.
Referring to the drawings:
Figure 1 is a side elevation partially in section of a tee having anangular ground engaging shaft and a four-point engaging head, the surface of the head being flat;
Figure 2'is a top plan view of Figure 1;
Figure 3 is a bottom plan View of Figure 1.
Figure {l is a side elevation partially in section of a slightly modified form;
Figure 5 is a top plan view thereof illustrating the broken circle type of golf ball engaging edge;
Figure 6 is a bottom plan view of Figure 4;
Figure 7 is a side elevation of a triangular form of tee Figure 8 1s a top plan view thereof;
Figure 9 is a bottom plan view thereof.
' Referring to the drawings in detail, 1 is a 40 body which ma be either square or triangular or rectangu ar.
This body is mounted upon, preferably as an integral part thereof, a ground en gaging portion consisting of a pyramid having flat surfaces 2 and sharp downwardly tapering edges 3 which terminate in a hit 4,
's pyramid may either have three sides or four sides or any number of sides. The desired object is to rovide flat engaging surfaces to provide re atively broad bearing surfaces in enga ement with the ground in combination wit sharp edges between the surfaces to provide the maximum'of resistance to the rotation of the golf tee coupled with ready penetration of it into the ground.
The body itself is provided with a flat upper surface 5 or an arcuate surface 6, .the result in both cases being the same that the upper surface of the body is not brought in contact with the ball. a i
The body provides on its corners upstandin ball engaging portions 7 which may eit er engage the ball on the points 8 or the semi-circular surfaces 9.
In Figures 7, 8 and 9, the structure is triangular, while, in the other figures, the
structure is rectangular.
It will be understood that I desire to comprehend within my invention-such modifications as may be necessary to adapt it to varying conditions and uses.
Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:
1. In a golf tee, a head having a semicircular depressed upper surface, and a plurality of semi-circular upstanding olf ball en' aging edges, said depressed sur ace and go f ball engaging edges being laid out on the surface of the semi-circular head, and a depending ground engaging member for supporting the head.
2. In a golf tee, a head having a semicircular depressed u per surface, and a plurality of semi-circu ar upstanding 01f ball engagin edges, said depressed sur ace and golf bal engaging edges being laid out on the surface of the semi-circular head, and a depending ground enga mg member for supportm the headysai ground engaging member iaving fiat sides tapering to a point.'
In testimony 'whereof, I aflix my signature.
GEORGE CLAUSING.
