GOLF-BALL "rEE.
Application led August 27, 1927. Serial No. 215,874.
This invention relates to a olf ball tee or golf tee for supporting gol balls vvhen driving from a tee or when playing Winter rules, Y
The. object of the invention is to provide a novel and simple golf tee form-ed of a single section of metal 01' Wire in a continuous piece having a ball retaining p0rtion or 'ring of square, polygonal or other suitable shape atV the top to'support and retain the golf ball and having underneath, a plurality or pair of spiral 'turnsproviding asymmetrical appearance and also a spring for resiliency, as Well as a shoulder to limit the degree 'which vthe shank may be pressed into the ground and thus-the height of the tee in use, so 'as to give aplayer a set height at all times. f With the above and other objects in View, the invention consistsof certain Ifovel com binations -and'arrangements of parts to be hereinafter more fully described'. In the accompanying drawings Figure l is a perspective view of a golf tee or golf ball tee constructed in accordance with the invent-ion. Figure 2 is an elevation o'f the device showing the same in the ground for slip- .porting a golf ball, and
Figure 3 is a top plan View of the golf tee. Referring to the drawings in detail, in which like reference charactersl designate corresponding parts throughout the several views, it will be seen that the t'ee is formed from a single section of ordinary springer iron Wire or a continuous strip of 'metal of suitable flexible character tinned, nickled, or otherwise coated to protect it from rust, the Wire being indicated at 4. This Wire is of suitable gauge and has the shank portion 5 formed with a tapered or pointed end. 6 to readily penetrate the ground. The top por# tion is provided with a lsquare rectangular or other suitable ball retaining portion'7, 45
jacent corner o- Side designated 'at 9, al-
though it is to be understood that said ball retaining portion may be of otherA polygonal the end 8 of the Wire engaging thenext adsection, triangular, hexagonal, octagonal, or other suitable shape.r in addition to being square or rectangular. The Wire Where bent from the point 9 is extended oil' in the curved direction at an angle inwardly and down- Wardly as designated at l0, being at an acute angle with respect to the side l1 of the ball 55 retaining portion 7 and then circled or formed With two complete coils or turns 12 and 13, the tWo circlesjbeing formed into a cone shape so as to give a symmetrical appear-ance and also produce a coil or spring, o0 the bottom of which at the point 14 forms a shoulder which will act as a stop When pressed in `the ground giving the player al set height at all times for the ball supported on the ball retaining portion of the-tee. The ta ered coil spring will also make the golf/ tee resilient and avoid bending 'of the shank and also limit they height which the shank is pressed into the ground so that there Will be no objection to the use of a device as' or- "10 dinarily the case, in having the ball teed too high or too low, thus insuring that the player Will always have the ball teed to the proper height and produce better shots. If the de- .vice is at all bent in use it may be readil;r
bent back into shape for re-use.
While I have described my invention and shown the teev in the preferred form, it is to be understood, as previously stated, that the ball retaining portion may be of other shape and that I am not limited to the useof two, turns or coils or in the exact formations d'escribed so long as such constructions do not depart from't-he spirit and scope of the invention as' claimed.
' Havingthus described my invention, `What I claim' is:
A golf ball'tee comprising a single piece` of Wire bent 'at one end into the form of a 4 cup shaped` receptacle forthe ball', the upper 90 periphery of the cup being of square formation, the remaining portion ofthe cup being of spiral and corneal form.
In testimony-whereof I aix my signature.-
