Description

May 26, 1936. P. E. KNUDSON 0 GOLF GREEN SWEEP Filed June 4, 1955 INV ENTOR Patented May 26, 1936 UNETED STATES PATENT OFFICE GOLF GREEN SWEEP Peter E. Knudsen, Hettinger, N. Dak. Application June 4, 1935, Serial No. 24,953
2 Claims.
The invention relates to a sweeper and more especially to a golf green sweeper.
The primary object of the invention is the provision of a sweep of this character, wherein oiled sand golf greens can be rendered smooth, free from waves and the surface maintained in a soft and perfect condition for, approaching and putting in the game of golf.
Another object of the invention is the provision of a sweep of this character, wherein a steel pulverizer coacts with a sweeping mat so as to treat the surface of a golf green whereby such surface can be rendered level and smooth, the sweep being also serviceable for use in the surfacing of the infield of a baseball diamond as the same can be rendered level and smooth.
A further object of the invention is the provision of a sweep of this character, which is simple in construction, readily and easily handled for the use thereof, thoroughly reliable and eificient in its operation, susceptible of long wear, strong, and inexpensive to manufacture.
With these and other objects in view, the invention consists in the features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter more fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawing, which discloses the preferred embodiment of the invention and pointed out in the claims hereunto appended.
In the accompanying drawing:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of the sweep constructed in accordance with the invention.
Figure 2 is a vertical sectional view thereof.
Figure 3 is a fragmentary vertical detailed sectional view showing the manner of fastening the mat to the stock of the device.
Similar reference characters indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views in the drawing.
Referring to the drawing in detail, the sweep comprises a bar-like stock 5, preferably made from wood although it may be made from steel or other suitable material and is of the required length, width, and thickness. To the under side of the stock 5 is made fast a flexible mat 6 constructed .from fibrous substance and is imitative of the usual woven door mat, yet it may be a piece of carpet having the required stiffness and flexibility. The mat 6 at one longer edge is made fast to the underside of the stock 5, preferably through the use of staples I so that a major por- 5 tion of this mat will be unattached and the under face of such mat is built with a pile 8, this being the working side of the mat.
At the outside longer edge of the stock 5 is mounted thereon a steel pulverizer 9 having the 10 twisted or angularly disposed spaced pulverizing teeth II] which at their working portions lie flush with the pile 8 of the mat B and such pulverizer works the surface of a golf green of the oiled sand type for cutting, leveling and pulverizing the sand while the mat 6 functions to smooth the playing surface of such green. An edge of the bar serves as a leveling device.
Fitted in a suitable socket ll crowned by a retaining strap I2 is a handle bar I3, the latter being of the required length and disposed at the proper angle as well as at the center of said stock 5 for the proper handling of the sweep.
In the use of the sweep the pulverizer at the working side thereof is brought in contact with the playing surface of the golf green and on operation by pulling the sweep the said playing surface will be worked for the leveling and smoothing thereof torender it in perfect condition for approaching and putting in the playing of golf.
As has been stated, the sweep is usable for leveling and smoothing the infield of a baseball diamond.
What is claimed is:
1. A sweep of the character described, comprising a flexible fibrous mat, a stock fixed to said mat at one longer side thereof, a leveling, cutting and pulverizing bar carried by the stock and confronting the mat and a handle connected with said stock.
2. A sweep of the character described, comprising a flexible fibrous mat, a stock fixed to said mat at one longer side thereof, and a leveling, cutting and pulverizing bar carried by the stock and confronting the mat.
