elflf ara'ona' (Illa/35W TORS J. B. PARSONS ET AL 1,807,089 I Patented May 26, 1931 UNITED STATES PATENT @FFECE JAMES B. PARSONS AND JOSEPH J. KING, OF INDIANA, PENNSYLVANIA GOLF COURSE MARKER Application filed May 6, 1929. Serial No. 360,786.
Our present invention has reference to a marker or signal for golf courses and has for its primary object the provision of a device for this purpose which will increase the visibility thereof, so that its location can be easily and accurately discerned by the players, regardless of their distance therefrom.
A further object is the provision of a marker or signal for this purpose in which N the pole is painted in contrasting colors,
in which the pole has fixed adjacent to its top downwardly inclined outwardly extending vanes that are also painted in contrasting colors and which have difierently colored numerals imprinted thereon, the said vanes being suitably braced and bemg surrounded adjacent to their lower ends by a ring of cross sectionally rounded metal, rubber or compressible tubing which will prevent injury to the turf when brought in contact therewith.
To the attainment of the foregoing and other objects which will present themselves the improvement resides in the invention as hereinafter described and definitely claimed.
In the drawings:
Figure l is a side elevation of our improvement. Figure 2 is a similar view with parts in section.
Figure 8 is a top plan view thereof. The pole l of our improvement is designed to have its lower portion received in the cups in the ordinary manner. The pole l is of iron or other suitable material and is painted throughout its length with contrasting colors as indicated by the numerals 2. The pole at the top thereof is provided with a sphere head 3, and below the head the pole has fixed thereto theinner and off-set ends of downwardly and outwardly inclined plates in the nature of vanes 4. These vanes are arranged at right angles with respect to each other and, therefore, comprise four in number. The opposite faces of the respective vanes are differently colored, as for instance, the confronting faces of the re spective vanes are respectively colored light and dark and the said vanes bear numerals 5 which are of a different color to the paint on the said vanes. The vanes are held in proper spaced relation through the medium of reinforcing means preferably in the na-- ture of bars 6 which are secured to the said vanes and to the pole 1. The outer or lower corners of the vanes are rounded downwardly and are formed with approximately semicircular depressions 7 or suitable lugs that afford seats for a rubber or like compressible ring 8. The ring 8 serves to protect the turf when the marker rests thereon. The pole 1 may be enlarged by arranging thereon metal, rubber or like compressible rings or collars 9 which will afford a snug engagement of the said pole in the cup 10, and in a like manner the pole may have arranged thereon compressible sleeves 11 that afford hand grips although these grips may, if desired, be of wood, which in some instances will be found more desirable. The grips 11,
- of course, are arranged at the balance point of the pole Our improvement is designed to replace the present iron rod or bamboo pole and flag. The chief advantage of the improvement is the visibility of the duo color scheme at all angles. The salient point of the design is the fact that from whatever angle the signal is approached a generous portion of bothcolors is discernible, while as previously stated, the ring 8 not only serves as a reinforcement for the outer vanes 4 but as a means for protecting the turf when the marker or signal is laid thereon.
Having described the invention, we claim:
The herein described construction of golf course markers comprising a pole, outwardly extending right-angularly arranged bars having their inner ends fixed to the pole, in-
clined plates having angle upper ends which are fixed to the pole and having their lower ends fixed to the respective bars and having their outer edges extending beyond said bars, andtheir said outer edges approximately in a line with the bars being provided with semi-cylindrical depressions and a cross sectionally round elastic ring arranged over the inclined plates received in the said depressions.
In testimony whereof we affix our signatures.
JAMES B. PARSONS. JOSEPH J. KING.
