UNITED STATES HARRY F. STANTON, OF OCEAN CITY, NEW JERSEY.
TEE HOLDER FOR GOLF-CLUB SHAFTS.
Application filed July 27,
My invention relates to a new and useful tee holder for golf club shafts adapted to ,hold and retain a number of tees so that they will be instantly accessible at the desired points along the course.
During the past few years, the use of peg like tees of wood or other material has greatly increased, such tees being pressed into the turf at the teeing ground for supporting the golf ball, while the golfer drives, said tee being subsequently removed from the ground and usually carried in the players pocket, until it is again needed.
In order to avoid carrying the toes in the ture the lining and wear holes through the pocket, I have devised a novel means coacting with the upper end of the shaft of the driver'or brassie for firmly securing the necessary tees in an instantlyaccessible position without the disadvantages of torn and bulging pockets, and the inconvenience and loss of time involved in fumbling for a tee among various other articles carried in the pocket.
A further object of my invention is to provide a tee holder of the character described whereby the tees are always instantly accessible without in anyway detracting from the appearance, utility, efficiency, feel or balance of the golf club or materially adding to the cost of manufacture thereof.
To the above ends, my invention consists in providing an upper head or knob-like member adapted to receive or to be fitted on the upper end of a driver or brassie shaft and to be suitably secured thereto, a rubber, leather or other resilientpad or disc secured to the upper extremity of the club shaft enclosed within said head, and aligning, converging passages extending from countersunk seats in the top of said head, through said pad and into the upper end of said shaft, said countersunk seats receiving the heads of said tees and the passages the hanks or stems thereof.
My invention further relates to various other novel features of construction and advantage all as'will be hereinafter described and claimed.
For the purpose of illustrating my invention I have shown in the accompanying drawings one form thereof which is at present preferred by me, since the same has been found in practice to give satisfaetory and reliable results, although it is to be underpoeket (or other receptacle) Where, due to their sharp pointed stems, they tend to punc- 1928. Serial No. 295,712.
stood that the various instrumentalities of whleh my invention consists can be variously arranged and organized and that my invention is not limited to the precise arrangement and organization of the instrumentalities as herein shown and described.
In the accompanying drawings Figure 1, represents a perspective view of a driver or brassie shaft provided with a tee holder embodying my invention.
Figure 2, represents on an enlarged scale a top plan View of Figure 1.
Figure 5, represents a bottom plan view of the tee holder shown in Figure 3, shown detached from the shaft and inverted.
Figure 6, represents a top plan view of the upper end of the golf shaft with the tee holder shown in Figure 5 removed.
t Figure 7, represents a side elevation of 3 Referring to the drawings, in which like reference characters indicate like parts, 1 designates the shaft of a driver or brassie to the upper end 2 of which is suitably secured the tee carrier 3 which is in the form of a knob or head provided with the bottom opening 4 which receives the upper end 2 of the shaft 1. 5 designates a pad or disc made of rubber, leather or the like, or any otherresilient material, which is secured to the upper extremity of the shaft, and which when the device is assembled abuts; against the inner shoulder 6 in the head 3, it being understood that the pad 5 may be secured to the shoulder 6. The head 3 is provided with the downwardly converging holes or apertures 7, which align with the holes 8 in the pad 5 and with the holes 9 in the upper-end 2 of the shaft 1, as will be understood from Figure 4.
To position a tee 10 in my novel tee holder,
it is merely necessary to insert the stem or shank 11 thereof through the aligning holes 7 in the head 3, the holes 8 in the pad 5 and through the holes 9 in the upper end 2 of the shaft 1. The holes 7 and 9 are long and wide enough to permit the easy insertion and withdrawal of the stem 11 of a tee 10, while the holes 8 in the resilient pad 5, are of a slightly smaller diameter than the stems 11 of said tees, so that a firm frictional grip is provided for retaining the-tees 10 in position and to prevent their falling out or displacement, as will be clearly seen from Figures 3 and 4.
In order to facilitate the withdrawal of the tees and to prevent the heads 12 thereof from projecting beyond the upper surface 13 of the head 3, I provide the countersunk recesses 14, which form seats for the heads 12 of the tees, said seats or recesses being laterally notched as at 15 to form a thumb space for gripping the head of a tee, during its withdrawal.
I preferably install my novel appliance in the end of the driver or brassie shaft, as these are the clubs usually used for driving purposes. In case, however, the golfer drives with a driving iron, my novel tee holder can be attached to the end of the shaft of the driving iron or to the end of the shaft of any other clubs without departing from the spirit of my invention.
It is obvious that my novel device can be readily applied to the shafts of clubs already in use or to the shafts of drivers or brassics during their manufacture, Without appreciably adding to the cost of manufacture.
It will thus be seen that my novel tee holder is capable of holding a plurality of tees, firmly and detachably in an instantly accessible manner and it will further be seen that by the provision of my novel tee holder at the end of a golf shaft I do not in any Way interfere with the balance or function of the latter.
I am aware that the invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential attributes thereof, and I therefore desire the present embodiment to be considered in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive, reference being had to the appended claims rather than to the foregoing description to indicate the scope of the invention.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and useful and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. In a device of the character stated, a
tee carrier comprising a head adapted to be secured to the upper end of a golf shaft, a pad of resilient material carried by said head, there being passagesextending through said head and pad, and countersunk seats in said head, the passages in said pad being of less diameter than the passages in said head.-
2. In a device of the character stated, a
golf club shaft, a head for the end thereof having a seat adapted to fit. upon the end of said shaft, and a resilient pad interposed between said head and shaft, there being an aligning converging passage extending through said head, pad and shaft for the reception of a tee.
3. In a device of the character stated, a golf club shaft, a head having a bottom seat adapted to fit over the end of said shaft and a resilient pad interposed between said shaft and head, there being converging aligning passages extending through said head, pad and shaft, the passages through said pad being of lesser diameter than the other passages.
4. In a device of:the character stated, a golf club shaft, a head fitted over the end thereof, a resilient pad interposed between saidhead and shaft, there being aligning converging passages in said head, pad and shaft for receiving a tee, the passages in said head and shaft being of-a greater diameter than the passages in said pad and countersunk seats in said head.
5. In a device of the character stated, a golf club shaft, a head fitted over the end thereof and a resilient pad interposed between said shaft and head, said head having outer counterbored seats with side notches for the head of a tee, there being converging aligning holes extending through said head, pad and shaft for receiving the shank of a toe, the holes in said pad being of lesser diameter for frictional engagement with a tee shank.
