GOLF BALL WASHER Filed Jan. 24, 1931 gwuemtom Warren Mfiample Patented Jan. 19, 1932 WARREN M. SAMPLE, or iviunoincnvnmnn GOLF BALL WASHER Application filed January 24,1931. Serial No. 511,053.
This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in a golf ball Washer. In the playing of golf the white golf ball becomes soiled or dirty resulting in discoloration thereof which renders it extremely difii-' I washer preferably located adjacent a tee so that the ball may bewashed or cleaned to restore its original color before driving the same in the direction of the succeeding green.
A further object of the invention is to provide a novel construction of a golf ball washing device in the form of a receptacle to con tain water or other cleaning fluid for wetting the ball with a rubbing element for theball form of a fabric strip downwardly looped in the receptacle and preferably comprising a section of carpet having a pile or nap surface, or similar material effective in the cleaning of the ball when the latter is moved thereover after immersion in the receptacle.
Withthe above and other objects in view that will become apparent as the nature of the invention is better understood, the same consists of the novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter more fully described and then claimed. In the accompanying drawings which show a preferred embodiment of the present like characters designating corresponding parts throughout the several views: Figure 1 is a top plan view of a golf ball washer constructed in accordance with the present invention showing water or cleaning fluid in the receptacle and the downward ly looped fabric strip extending between the side walls of the receptacle at one end thereof, Figure 2 is a side elevational view showing a retaining bar for one end of the fabric strip with supporting legs engaged at the opposite ends of the receptacle, and
Figure 3 is a vertical cross sectional view of the receptacle.
Referring more in detail to the accomassociated with the receptacle and in the invention and to which reference is had by panying drawings, there is illustrated a golf ball washer comprising a receptacle of elongated substantially rectangular form having a bottom wall 5 and parallel side walls 6 rising from the bottom wall adjacent one end thereof and an endwall 7 connecting the outer'e'nds of the sidewalls 6. The'other ends ofthe side wall 6 bulge outwardly and merge into a curved opposite end wall form ing a substantially cylindrical wall section 8 as illustrated, the circular wall section 8 rising from the adjacent end of the bottom wall 5.
' The receptacle is detachably engagedwith ground anchor legs .9 by the provision of an outwardly extending apertured lug 10 at the upper edges of the opposite endsof the receptacle'.
A cleaning or rubbing element in the form of a fabric strip is associated with the re ceptacle and is attached to the upper edges of the parallel side walls 6, the fabric strip 11 comprising a piece of carpet or like mate-. rial having a surface pile or nap disposed upwardly so that a golf ball may be rubbed thereover, the fabric strip 11 being looped downwardly into the receptacle between the side walls 6 as at 11" while the free ends of the fabric strip extend over the upper edges of the side walls 6 to be clamped to the outer sides thereof by the retaining bars 12 anchored to the side walls by the fastening devices 13, the lower end of the looped portion 11 terminating in spaced relation to the bottom of the receptacle.
The device is adapted to be located adjacent a tee so that a golf ball may be washed and cleaned before being driven toward the succeeding green. The golf ball B to be washed is firstimmersed in the fluid in the receptacle at the end thereof surrounded by the wall 8 and after being thoroughly \vetted, the ball is removed and rubbed over the fabric strip 11 as shown in Figures 1 and 3, the
looped portion 11 of the fabric strip causing 5 the latter to contact a considerable area of the ball at eachv rubbing operation. The immersion and rubbing of the ball on the fabric strip may be continued until the original color of the ball is restored. 1100 While there is herein shown and described the preferred embodiment of the invention, it is to be understood that such changes may be made therein as will come within the scope 5 of theinvention as claimed.
I claim:
1. In a golf ball washer, a receptacle, a fabric sheet secured at its ends to the upper edge of the receptacle and downwardly looped therein and disposed adjacent one end wall of the receptacle and spaced fromthe opposite end wall thereof.
2. In a golf ball washer, a receptacle, a fabric sheet secured at its ends to the upper edge of the receptacle and downwardly looped therein and disposed adjacent one end wall of the receptacle and spaced from the opposite end wall thereof and means at each end of the receptacle to accommodate leg supports therefor. I
3. In a golf ball washer, a receptacle adapted to contain water, leg supports therefor, a fabric-strip extending across thereceptacle over portion of the length thereof and looped downwardly into the receptacle and retaining bars for the ends of the fabric strip secured to the receptacle.
4. In a golf ball washer, a receptacle adapted to contain water, leg supports therefor, a
fabric strip extending across the receptacle over a portion of the length thereof and looped downwardly into the receptacle and retaining bars for the ends of the fabric strip secured to the receptacle and said fabric strip comprising a carpet having a nap surface disposed at the upper side of the looped portion.
In testimony whereof I aliix my signature.
