GOLF-BALL MARKER.
Application filed September This invention relates to devices for marking golf balls so that they may be'readily identified, and the general objectof theinvent-ion is to provide a very'simple and effective device forthis' purpose which embodies opposed jaws adapted to be brought down upon a golf ball, type carried by one of. said jaws, and an inking pad carried by" the other jaw, said jaws when closed against each other causing the type to rest against the inking pad so that the device is ready for immediate use. i i
A further object is to provide'a device of this character so constructed that the type may be readily removed from the jaw carry-' ing the type and readily changed, andalso to yieldingly urged against the type.
My invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, wherein Figure 1 is a side elevation of my improved device with the jaws open and a golf ball shown in dotted lines;
Figure 2 is a like view to Figure 1 but with the jaws closed, one of the jaws being partl broken away;
Figure 3 is a section through the typecarrying jaw.
Referring to this drawing, it will be seen that my device embodies the two aws, designated generally 10 and 11, these jaws having crossed handles 12 pivoted to each other by the pivot screw 13 or equivalent means. These handles being crossed, it is obvious that when the handles are pressed together the jaws will be pressed together. Each of these jaws is curved so as to conform to the The jaw 10 is formed this slot and below thelevel of the ball gripping surface of the jaw 10 there is disposed an inking pad 15 of any suitable character which is supported by means of the spring 16 attached to the aw 10 and urging the inking pad upward in the slot 14.
The jaw 11 is formed'with a longitudinally extending recess 17 adapted to receive a plurality of type 18. This recess has a rib along one wall, as at 19, so as to enter the grooves in the lateral faces of the type and-thus hold the type in such position'that their faces will conform to the curved face of a golf ball; It will be noted that the rib 19 is arcuate and that thus the inner ends ofthe type are held in an arcuate curve. The type are held in 15, 1927.- Serial No. 219,759.
placein the recess 17 by means of a locking plate 20, which is also arcuate to fit the jaw, this locking plate having apertures at its ends through which screws, bolts orother like means 21'may be disposed, these screws,'of,
course, entering the wall of the recess, 17.
lvhlle I have referred to the use of a rib 19 which engages in grooves in the type, obviously the type might be formed with ribs and the wall of the recess be grooved to receive lZ-hGSGllbS. In eithercase, the ,type'are interlocked with the. wall of the type recess. It s to be noted that the. surface 22 on the lower jaw 10 which is curved toform a seat forthe v golf ball is disposed above the inking pad andthat the type projectsufiiciently below the aw 11 so that when the jaws are closed, as shown in Figure 2, the type will contact with the yieldingly pressed inking pad and thus be coated with ink so that as soon as the jaws are opened to receive a golf ball, the I jaws may be forced toward each other to cause the imprint of the type upon the ball.
Obviously, I do not wish to be limited to the exact details of construction illustrated as the principle of my invention might be embodied in a number of forms without departing from the principle as defined in the appended claims.
I claim 1. A golf ball marker including opposed jaws adapted to be manually shiftable toward or from each other, said jaws being concavely closed. 1
' 2. A golf ball marker of the character described including two opposed jaws, one of said aws being formed with a seat for a golf ball and with a longitudinally extending slot, an inking pad disposed in said slot below the seat, the opposed jaw having type members detaohably carried therein and projecting below the jaw and arranged so that the lower faces of the type members are disposed on a concave curve, said type members projecting beyond the last named jaw sufficiently to engage said pad when the jaws are closed.
3. A golf ball marker of the character described including opposed jaws having crossed handles, one of said jaws being formed with a concave seat to receive a golf ball and with a longitudinallly extending slot intersecting said seat, and an inking pad resiliently supported in said slot, the other jaw having means for clamping type members therein and supporting said type members with their confronting faces in an upwardly curved line, said type members projecting below the jaw sufficiently to contact with the inking pad when the jaws are fully closed.
4. A golf ball marker of the character described including opposed jaws, manually operable means for forcing the jaws toward each other or away from each other, one of said jaws being formed with a concave seat. for a golf ball and with a slot intersecting said seat, an inking pad disposed in the slot below the seat and resiliently urged toward the seat, the other jaw having a type receiving recess in its face, a type clamping member engageable over said recess, and means in the recess whereby type may be supported with their confronting faces on a concave curve confronting the opposed aw. i
5. A golf ball marker of the character described including opposed aws having crossed handles, one of said jaws being forn'ied with a concave golf ball seat and with a slot in- V ing arcuate to support the typewith their type faces arranged in a concave line confronting the other jaw, and a clamping plate I adapted to be-disposed over said recess and detachably engaged with the recessed 'j aw.
