A pref-erredeinbodiment "of this invention --is illustrated 'in the accompanying drawings, in "which "Fig; 1 is a plan view-bf my golf ball 'collector,

F w-a'basket o ceptacle ilfiphavingt a semi=0irsupported on the sides 2 of the frame I by means of clips I9, secured in spaced relationship on the side walls I8. Handle grips 29 are secured on the side Walls I8 of the basket Iii, thus providing means for lifting the basket out of its supporting frame. The bottom I I of the basket I6 is preferably made of perforate material, as best indicatedin Fig. 1, with the perforations 2| of somewhat smaller size than the diameter of a golf ball. A wire mesh has also been used for the bottom II of the basket I 6, with satisfactory results. The rear ends of the rods I9 extend over the forward edge of the basket I6, as shown in Figs. 1 and -2.
The spring fingers II] are formed with their base portions 23 bent away from the direction of revolution, as best indicated in Figs. 2 and 4, thus providing a brushing effect on golf balls located in their path. It has also been found that this construction provides a maximum of efficiency, as on v the rare occasions when the portion 23 strikes the exact top of a golf ball, the ball is either snapped rearwardly up the ramp and into the basket, or snapped forwardly. In the latter case, the ball will be picked up again as the machine approaches its new position. As shown in Fig. 3, the spacing of the U-shaped fingers I is less than the diameter of a golf ball 24, shown by dotted lines, so that there is no possibility of a ball being missed bythe fingers Ill. If a ball should be located be- :r
tween the fingers II] and the ramp II when the machine is at rest, it will be scooped up by the plate [2 as soon as the machine is moved forwardly.
Fig. 3 illustrates one method of removably securing the fingers II in the shaft 5. The shaft 5 is provided with spaced transverse bores or holes 25, of sufficient diameter to receive two of the legs 26 'of the fingers H, and set screws 21 clamp the legs 26 in place. Thus, any one of the fingers I I which may become broken or badly bent out of shape, by striking a rock or from any other cause, may be easily replaced without disturbing any of the other fingers.
In operation, this golf ball collector is preferably pulled ahead of whatever power plant may be used for motivation, such as a tractor or truck, by being attached to a draw bar extending forwardly of the operating machine. The collector may be used singly, or in multiple, like a gang lawnmower, by having the separate units attached to the usual draw bar construction for gang lawn mowers, and the whole attached to the forwardly extending draw bar. It is preferable to have the collecting units move ahead of the truck or tractor, so that the wheels of the latter will not ride over and force any of the golf balls into the ground before they are picked up. Satisfactory results have also been obtained with a single unit located in advance of each of the front wheels of the truck or tractor, and a gang of units drawn behind the truck or the like and spanning the distance between the two forward units.
The spaced rods l 4 of the ramp I l permit twigs, dirt, stones, grass clippings, and the like to fall through to the ground, and the perforated bottom of the basket I6 is useful in cleaning the collected golf balls by turning a hose on them while they are still contained in the basket. This may be done While the basket is still in place in the col- 4 lecting device, or after the basket has been removed to some more convenient location.
