GOLF TEE Filed May 6, 1937 I ATTORNEY.
INVENT OR. 7
Patented May 31, 1938 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFIQE GOLF TEE Thaddeus S. Davids, Rochester, N. Y.
Application May 6, 1937, Serial No. 141,135
2 Claims.
The object of this invention is to provide a tee from which a golf ball can be driven, which tee also furnishes a sight for the intended direction of the flight of the ball.
Another object of the invention is to provide a tee that will indicate the direction of the flight of the ball, and from which the ball can be driven in either direction.
Another object of the invention is to make the tee of two parts, one of which is adjustable endwise on the other part so that the tee can be accommodated todifferent conditions.
These and other objects of the invention will be illustrated in the drawing, described in the specification, and pointed out in the claims at the end thereof.
In the drawing:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of the golf tee.
Figure 2 is a side elevation of the golf tee, with the ball placed thereon.
Figure 3 is a top plan view of the golf tee.
Figure 4 is a front elevation of the golf tee with the ball in place thereon.
In the drawing like reference numerals indicate like parts.
In the drawing reference numeral I indicates the base of the tee having the forwardly extending beam 2 at one end and having the diverging members 3 and 4 at the other end, which members together resemble the head of an arrow. The beam is perforated longitudinally with a hole 5 that extends the length thereof, and in this hole is adjustably mounted a rod 6, which is adjustable longitudinally of the base or the beam of the device and is located midway between the diverging members.
At the end of the beam is formed a cup 1 adapted to receive and support the golf ball. The ball is placed in the cup I, and the stroke of the club can be delivered in either direction, but preferably from right to left in Figure 1. If the stroke is delivered in the other direction, the rod 6 should be extended to the right of the basefor 'the purpose of making the base more stable.
The beam and the diverging members 3 and 4 furnish a sight to the golf player for the purpose 5 of indicating the direction of the flight of the ball, the flight of the ball being along the axis of the rod 6, but the members 3 and 4, having diverging lines and converging planes, constitute an optical focusing device that enables the 10 player to more accurately drive the ball in the given direction. The rod 6 can be used as a sight member, and permits the sighting of the ball to be made separately, and this in turn eliminates the division of attention between the ball and the green.
The location of the rod permits the player to place himself in parallel relation thereto, which will insure more accurate driving of the ball. The presence of the members 3 and 4 enable the player to more accurately sight, so that in driving, the desired contact between the head of the club and the ball is achieved.
I claim:
1. A portable golf tee having a beam member, a rod sliding longitudinally in said beam member and projecting from either or both ends thereof, arms diverging at an angle from said beam member on each side of the rod member at substantially equal angles to the rod member.
2. In a portable golf tee, the combination of a beam. member having a cup-shaped recess therein, a rod sliding longitudinally in said beam member and projecting from either or both ends thereof, arms diverging from said beam member 5 on each side of the rod member and cooperating with the rod member to form a stable base for the tee, from which the ball can. be driven in either direction.
THADDEUS S. DAVIDS.
