A CORPORATION F NEW YORK 'run' oADDY Application filed July 14,

This invention relates to tee caddies, and I employ this term because the device functions both as a carrier and supporter for tees and also carries a score card.

v An object of the invention is to provide a device of the character stated which is composed of cardboard or other flexible sheets of any suitable material, which can be readily carried in the pocket of the user and which will be a source of great convenience to golf players.

A further object is to provide a device of the character stated which can be manufactured and sold at an extremely low price and, i in fact, might be given away for advertising purposes, and which can contain any desired printed matter such, for example as the name of the golf club or of an individual or any other data.

lVith these and other objects in view, the invention consists in certain novel features of construction and combinations and arrangements of parts, which will be more fully hereinafter described and pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings- Figure 1 is a perspective view showing my improved device in open position, one of the tees being removed;

Figure 2 is an end elevation of the device folded;

Figure 3 is an exaggerated view in section on the line 3-3 of Figure 1;

Figure 4 is an end view similar to Figure 2 on a reduced scale, illustrating a modification, showing my improved device made from a sin le sheet.

y improved device comprises two members, namely an inner member 1 and an outer member 2.

The inner member 1 is of cardboard or other suitable material, comprising a sheet bent upon two fold lines 3, 3 with the ends of the sheet brought together forming a tee 5 holder of general triangular form in end view.

The upper portion of the member 1 between the fold lines is flat and provided with openin s 4 to receive tees 5.

he outer member 2 constitutes a sheet of cardboard or other analogous material having 192s. Serin No. 292,888.

a fold line 6 adjacent one end, receiving inV this folded portion the lower end of the member 1, and a staple or other securing device 7 is proj ected through the folds of the members 1 and 2, securing said members together.

The member or sheet 2 is of such length as to enable it to be folded over the tees 5 and forced into the space between member 1 and the lower portion of the sheet 2, which is folded against the front face of member 1 and is indicated by the reference character 8.

A golf score card 9 is provided on the inner face of member 2, so that, when said member is unfolded, the device is open, as shown in Figure 1. The pla-yer may keep the score on the device as well as utilize the tees as occasion may require.

In the modified form of my invention shown in Figure 4, I construct the inner and outer members 1 and 2 of a single piece of paper or other material, the member 2 being integrally connected to the member l at the fold line 3 which constitutes the lower end of the inner member. In other respects the construction is the same as the form above described, and while I shall express in the claims the terms inner and outer members, I would have it understood that by this lan! guage I desire to cover broadly the device lyjvhether it is made of one, two or more mem- U9.

ers.

It will thus be noted that I provide a device which is made of two members, each comprising sheets of cardboard or other suit able material secured together by a single fas- 8.2.. tening device and comprising a tee holder and an enclosure therefor, so that the device can be manufactured and sold at an extremely low price.

I claim: v

A device of the character described, comprising an outer cover and an inner tee-holder, normally enclosed by the cover when the latter is folded thereon, said tee holder comprising a sheet folded upon parallel fold lines presenting an upper flat wall, and two walls tapering toward each other, said tapering walls secured in an angle or fold of the cover, said upper wall having a series of openings lil-3 therein, spaced apart to receive the stems of golf tees and spaced suiicently to permit the heads of the golf tees to lie in the same plane.

Y Signed at New York city, n the county of New York and State of New York, this 12th day of July, A. D. nineteen hundred twentyeight.

Y SIDNEY ROSENSTEIN.
