PRACTICE DEVICE FOR GOLFERS Filed July 17, 1935 INVENTOR. K. 5, MFCarf/vy UM 9m ATTORNEY Patented Sept. 14, 1937 UNITED STATES 2,093,153 PRACTICE DEVICEQFOR- GOLFERS Kellogg B. McCarthy, Eureka, Calif.
Application July 17,
3 Claims.
This invention relates generally to a device to be used by golfers in order to insure a more perfectly executed golf stroke.
While professional golfers vary with respect to 5 details of instruction, it is well established that the action of the right arm must be properly correlated with movements of the body, for a properly executed golf stroke. For example, the back swing of the club should be started with a body pivot, and the club should be swung back with the left hand. During the back swing the right elbow should remain relatively close to the right side of. the body, with a proper cooking of the right wrist at the top of the stroke. Likewise, during the downswing, momentum should be applied mainly bythe left arm, and in the follow-through the right arm should swing across the front of the body.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a simple device to be worn by the golfer, which will control action of the right arm in such a manner as to insure such a properly executed swing, thus correcting the most common defects of golfers.
Further objects of the invention will appear from the following description, in which the preferred embodiment of the invention has been set forth in detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawing,
Referring to the drawing: 7
Fig. 1 is a front view of a device incorporating the present invention, shown being worn by a golfer.
Fig. 2 is a side view of the device of Fig. 1, with the golfer positioned at the top of a back stroke.
Fig. 3 is a rear View of the device as shown in Fig. 2.
Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the device, apart from the golfer.
The device as illustrated in the drawing consists of a strap 10, which is arranged to extend diagonally across the front of the body. Assuming that the device is being used by a righthanded golfer, the lower end of strap l terminates near the left shoulder. A suitable means of. attachment for the lower end of the strap consists of a metal ring II, to which the strap is attached and which in turn is attached to a loop [2. This loop is of sufficient size to properly pass the wearers belt l3. Suitable means for retaining the upper end of strap I0 consists of a ring it, which is attached to a pair of straps l5 and i6.
In order to insure proper positioning of the' 1935, Serial No. 3 1,820
further strap [1 extending diagonally across the back of the body. The lower end of strap 11 is shown attached to the ring H, while the upper end is attached to the rearends of straps l5 and l6,'by suitable means, such as ring Hi.
In addition to the parts described above, a band l9 embraces-the right arm near the elbow, and this band is attached to a ring 2|, which in turn is slidable upon the strap II).
It is evident that various materials can be utilized in the construction of the device. For example, straps l6 and H can be made of fabric belting or leather, while straps l5 and I6, and also the band H), can be made of suitable elastic material. The rings H, l4, l8 and 2| can be conveniently made of suitable metal, and loop l2 can be made of either fabric or leather. For simplicity the band l9 may be merely passed through the ring 2|, in place of a more elaborate form of attachment. In order that the device may be properly adjusted to various golfers, it is desirable to have the arm band [9 adjustable, and also to afford suitable adjustments for the straps l5 and I6.
Use of the device described above is as fol- 1ows:At the beginning of a back'swing, the golfer must immediately start to pivot, since at the time the ball'is addressedthe ring 2! isat the lower end of strap in and therefore will not permit independent movement of the right arm to commence the back swing. During the back swing, and also at the top of the back swing as shown in Fig. 2, the right elbow remains relatively close to the body and adjacent to the right side of the waist. At the top of the back swing a natural and correct cooking of the right wrist occurs. During the down swing the right elbow likewise remains relativelyclose to the right side of. the waist until after impact with the ball. Thereafter during the follow-through the right arm is free to swing across the front of the body, by sliding movement of the ring 2| along the strap Ill. If the golf stroke is executed in a proper manner, no restraint whatever will be placed upon movement of the'right arm. However, if the golfer attempts to move the right arm incorrectly during the stroke, such incorrect movements are restrained, so that a badly exe- .7
outed stroke is prevented and the golfer is immediately apprised of his defects.
It is not anticipated that my device need be worn permanently by a golfer. After it has been worn for a compartively short time, proper muscular coordination occurs without conscious effort. It is of course evident that for a left-handed golfer, the band [9 engages the left arm, and inclination of the straps l0 and I1 is reversed.
I claim:
1. In a practice device for golfers, a band adapted to embrace the right arm adjacent the elbow, a strap, means forming a slidable connection between the band and the strap whereby the band and also the right elbow may move freely in the direction of extent of the strap and for a distance substantially equal to the length of the same, additional straps connected to one end of said first-mentioned strap and adapted to engage about the left shoulder, a device attached to the other end of the first-mentioned strap and adapted for attachment to the belt of the golfer at the right side of the waist, whereby said firstmentioned strap is retained in a position in which it extends diagonally across the front of the body.
2. In a practice device for golfers, a band adapted to embrace the right arm adjacent the elbow, a strap, additional straps connected to one end of the first-mentioned strap and adapted to embrace the left shoulder, means secured to the 25 other end of said first-mentioned strap and serving to permit attachment to the conventional trouser belt of the golfer at the right side of the waist, whereby the first-mentioned strap extends diagonally across the front of the body, a further strap extending diagonally across the back of the body, one end of the last-mentioned strap being attached to the shoulder embracing straps and the other end being attached to the lower end of said first-mentioned strap, and means forming a connection between the band and the first named strap for sliding movement of the band over substantially the entire length of the strap.
3. In a practice device for golfers, a band adapted to embrace the right arm adjacent the elbow, a front strap, elements embracing the left shoulder and connected to one end of said front strap, a second rear strap also having one end of the same connected to said shoulder embracing element, means for attaching the other ends of both said straps to the conventional trouser belt of the golfer at the right side of the waist, whereby the'two straps are positioned to extend diagonally across the front and back of the body, and means forming a connection between the band and the front strap for sliding movement of the band along the length of the front strap.
