Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a golf tee hat enabled to secure at least one golf tee in its seam and further prevent the scalp of the player wearing the golf tee hat from scratching by the at least one golf tee secured within the golf tee hat.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

A tee is a stand used to support a stationary ball so that the player can strike it, particularly in golf, tee ball, American football and rugby. Tees are small stands that are embedded in the ground to support a golf ball to be struck by a golf club. Golfers often go through many tees during a round of the sport, because tees are often broken or mangled by the club as it strikes the ball, or the tee flies out the ground upon being struck by a club, never to be found. Therefore, golfers often carry many tees with them when they play, to replace broken or lost tees. Golf tee ball, American football, and rugby is a mentally intense sport, where it is important to minimize distractions. One such distraction can be searching for tees. Also, golf tees can be easily lost or broken when carried loosely in a golf bag, and they can poke and distract a player when carried in a pant pocket.
Sometime carrying these tees loose inside a golf bag may lead poking a player hand when the player inserts his/her bare hand inside the bag. Extra tees are often kept loose, or sometimes in the plastic bag in which tees are often sold, in the player's golf bag. It can be bothersome to have to rummage around in a golf bag to pick out a tee. Sometimes loose extra tees are damaged from being stored loosely. Although products exist for storing tees safely, there remains an unmet need to provide a convenient and amusing article for storing and retrieving extra tees.
Therefore, there remains a need to overcome the above-mentioned problem and our invention is a perfect solution for the same.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a golf tee hat enabled to secure at least one golf tee in its seam and further prevent the scalp of the player wearing the golf tee hat from scratching by the at least one golf tee secured within the golf tee hat.
The golf tee hat herein comprises the at least one hollow loop in form of one or more holes or the pockets. The at least one hollow loop is positioned on the either side of the golf tee hat to receive the at least one golf tee and keep the received at least one golf tee secured within the at least one hollow loop. The at least one hollow loop in form of a pocket is prepared by seaming an upper layer of material of the golf tee hat with the lower layer of material (in touch with the player's head) of the golf tee hat which further prevents the at least one golf tee tip from scratching the scalp or poking the player's head.
Further the at least one hollow loop herein is like a stitch lined holes that are positioned on the side of the golf tee hat above the ear to receive the at least one golf tee. The at least one hollow loop is formed by an elastic strip, wherein the elastic strip retains the at least one golf tee in place to prevent the at least one golf tee from falling out. Furthermore, the elastic strip prevents the at least one golf tee from angling out and poking the players head. The one or more hollow loops, traverses through the golf tee hat, enabling the golf tee pegs to be inserted into the at least one hollow loop. Also, the at least one hollow loop is enabled to be positioned in various locations in different embodiments

FIG. 1 illustrates a schematic view of the given invention which is also preferred embodiment of the invention comprises a golf tee hat [100] enabled to hold at least one golf tee [102].
The golf tee hat [100] comprises an upper [100 a] and a lower layer of material [100 b] joined with a seam [104] to form a cavity. The cavity formed by the seam [104] of the two layers of material leads to formation of at least one hollow loop [106] into the seam [104] to receive at least one golf tee [102], wherein the seam [104] secures the at least one golf tee [102] from falling. The at least one hollow loop [106] herein is a stitch lined hole or a stitched line pocket present on the upper layer of material [100 a] with provided backing by a lower layer of material [100 b], wherein the at least one hollow loop [106] is positioned on the side of the golf tee hat [100] above the ear of the player wearing the golf tee hat [100] to receive the at least one golf tee [102]. The at least one hollow loop [106] herein can be positioned in various locations of the seam [104], wherein the various locations depends on the player's choice. The golf tee hat [100] herein is designed for the player playing golf. The golf tee hat [100] is designed in a way that it is enabled to fit any player head shape or size. The golf tee hat [100] is highly flexible in nature as it is made up highly flexible material including at least one of a leather, natural artificial fibers, cloth or any combination thereof. Herein, if the player finds that he/she must place more golf tees [102] then the player is enabled to insert more golf tees into the at least one hollow loop [106] on the upper layer of material [100 a] of the golf tee hat [100] and this is how the player is enabled to place more number of golf tee [102] into the golf tee hat [100].
In other embodiment of the invention, the seam [104] of the golf tee hat [100] is cushioned with the elastic strip, wherein the elastic strip retains the golf tees [102] in place to prevent the golf tees [102] from falling out. The upper layer of material [100 a] of the golf tee hat [100] is made up of a weather proof material which makes the golf tee hat [100] a highly durable, a long lasting and suitable for any weather type. The lower layer of material [100 b] is a material which is of high durability and the various pokes of the fine and sharp tips of the at least one golf tee [102] does not enables the lower layer of material [100 b] to be torn or to be affected. The elastic strip in the seam [104] of the golf tee hat [100] is also enabled to prevent the poking of the fine and sharp tips of the at least one golf tee [102].
In yet another embodiment, the lower layer of the material [100 b] further comprises a cushioning material on its either side or on its both sides to provide double layered security from the tip of the at least one golf tee [102] for preventing the tip of the at least one golf tee [102] from poking his/her head. Herein, the cushioning material is at least one of extra layer of material similar to the material of lower layer [100 b], inner material of Velcro or combination thereof.
Therefore, including modularity, with which a player is enabled to select how many extra golf tees [102] he or she wants to carry by inserting one or more tees into the at least one hollow loop [106] to their golf tee hat [100]. A further advantage is convenience, provided by securing a plurality of tees [102] in an easy to reach place. Another advantage is hands free transport of the at least one golf tee [102], to the extent that the at least one golf tee [102] are carried external to a golf bag or tee container without having to be held in the hands. Yet another advantage is an amusing golf accessory that will prompt conversation among a player's fellow golfers.
Herein, the at least one golf tee [102] is enabled to be received into the at least one hollow loop [106] present onto the upper layer of material [100 a] of the seam [104] of the golf tee hat [100] and is further kept secured in between the upper layer of material [100 a] and the lower layer of material [100 b]. Because the at least one golf tee [102] is kept secured in between the two layers of material [100 a] and [100 b] prevents the at least one golf tee [102] from scratching the scalp or poking the player's head wearing the golf tee hat [100].
