Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a booth for golf training, and more particularly to a prefabricated booth structure for golf training which can be easily assembled by attaching a cushion pad to a frame by using magnets and can be easily disassembled by pulling the cushion pad from the frame.

BACKGROUND ART

Generally, a booth for an indoor driving range includes a plurality of panels which are assembled to form a front wall, left and right walls, so that a golf prayer practices golf in the booth by hitting a golf ball towards the front wall. The booth may be provided with a simulation apparatus using projection which can project an image on the front wall.
The general booth for golf training is made of wooden panels, and a cushion pad is attached to the inner wall of the wooden panel to absorb noise and shock generated when the golf ball collides into the wooden panel. The cushion pad is made by enclosing a cushion sheet with a cover and stitching the cover, and is attached to the inner wall of the panel by using an adhesive.
Since the booth for golf training is made of wooden panels and cushion pads attached to the inner wall of the panels, a size of the material is large, and thus carriage and keeping of the booth is cumbersome. Also, since the cushion pads are attached to the wooden panel by using the adhesive, it is not easy to assemble the booth, and it is difficult to move or rearrange the booth.
Also, since a gap is produced between the cushion pads attached to the inner wall, a golf ball is inserted in the gap.
In order to solve the above problem, the applicant proposed Korean Utility Model No. 0420593 entitled Booth for Golf Training.
According to the utility model, the booth includes a frame 2 configured by connecting metal pipes to form an entrance 9 at one side, and cushion pads 4 fixed to inner walls of the frame to form walls, as shown in FIG. 1. The frame 2 consists of a plurality of horizontal bars 6, a plurality of vertical bars 8, and a corner member 10 interposed between the horizontal bar 6 and the vertical bar 8, so that the frame 2 is assembled or disassembled.
The cushion pad 4 is formed in a long rectangular plate, as shown in FIG. 2, and is mounted on the frame 2 in such a way that the sidewall is closely contact with each other. The cushion pad is provided with an extended flap 16 at the sidewall to cover the surface of the adjacent cushion pad 4 and eliminate a gap between the cushion pads 4.
The cushion pad is also provided on a rear surface thereof with a fixing member 12 detachably coupled to the frame 2. The fixing member consists of a surface fastener 14.
With the above construction, the booth is easily assembled or disassembled. Since the size of each component is small, the carriage or keeping of each component is also easy. It prevents the golf ball from inserting or passing through a gap formed between the cushion pads 4.
The cushion pad is easily fixed to the frame 2 by using the surface fastener, which improves the assembly efficiency.
However, the applicant found a one-touch fixing member to further improve the assembly efficiency.

DISCLOSURE OF INVENTION

Technical Problem

Therefore, the present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems occurring in the prior art, and an object of the present invention is to provide a prefabricated booth structure for golf training which can be easily assembled by attaching a cushion pad to a frame by using magnets which are attached to the cushion pad as a one-touch fixing member and can be easily disassembled by pulling the cushion pad from the frame.
Additional advantages, objects, and features of the invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows and in part will become apparent to those having ordinary skill in the art upon examination of the following or may be learned from practice of the invention.

Technical Solution

In order to accomplish the above-mentioned objects, a fabricated booth structure for golf training including a frame configured by connecting metal pipes, and cushion pads fixed to inner walls of the frame to form walls, and a fixing member provided on a rear surface of the cushion pad to attach or detach the cushion pad to or from the frame, comprising: a one-touch fixing member provided on the cushion pad, wherein the one-touch fixing member is easily attached or detached to or from the frame.
The frame is made of magnetic metal, and the one-touch fixing member is made of magnets.

Advantageous Effects

With the present invention, the cushion pad is easily attached to the frame by attaching the cushion pad to the frame by using the magnets which are attached to the cushion pad as a one-touch fixing member and can be easily disassembled by pulling the cushion pad from the frame, thereby shortening the assembling time or disassembling time and further improving the assembly efficiency.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The above and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will be more apparent from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:

FIG. 1 is a perspective view illustrating a booth for golf training according to the prior art;

FIG. 2 is a perspective view illustrating the construction of the cushion pad shown in FIG. 1;

FIG. 3 is a view illustrating a cushion pad according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention; and

FIG. 4 is a view illustrating a cushion pad according to another preferred embodiment of the present invention.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Now, a fabricated booth structure for golf training according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following description of the present invention, the same drawing reference numerals are used for the same elements even in different drawings, and the duplicate explanation thereof will be omitted.
The fabricated booth structure includes a frame 2 configured by connecting metal pipes, and cushion pads 4 fixed to inner walls of the frame to form walls, as shown in FIG. 3. A fixing member is provided on a rear surface of the cushion pad 4 to attach or detach the cushion pad to or from the frame 2. The cushion pad 4 is provided with a one-touch fixing member that is easily attached or detached to or from the frame 2.
