Pinkham Assistant Examiner-Theatrice Brown Attarney.l0hns0n & Kline 5 7] ABSTRACT A block of rigid material has an elongate slot open at the bottom to receive between the legs formed by the slot ahead and shank of a golf ball tee, there being a plurality of horizontal vertically spaced pairs of grooves in the facing surfaces of the legs to receive an abutment member, such as a coin or a ball marker to engage the head of the tee and force the shank thereof into the ground more or less depending upon which pair of grooves is occupied by the abutment when downward pressure is applied to the block, for instance on the top surface thereof to cause the bottoms of the legs to engage the ground.

INVENTOR.
James E. fi/wscol Z ww p GAUGE FOR PLACING GOLF BALL TEES This invention relates to an article for placing a golf ball tee in the ground so that the golf ball will be held by the tee elevated above the ground at one of several predetermined heights.
l-leretofore, devices proposed for such use have been so costly to make and inconvenient to use that, at least currently, no such devices are available ori the market. Yet, it is highly desirable, from the point of view of the player, that the golf ball be held in an elevated position a determinate distance above the surface of the ground.
An object of this invention is to provide a tee-placing and elevation determinate device which is simple in construction having but one movable part which is readily replaceable and economical to manufacture and easily used.
This has been accomplished by providing asimple block of suitable material, preferably rectangular in shape, with a vertical slot open at the bottom end of the block and forming a pair of leg portions, the bottoms of which are adapted to engage the surface of the ground when downward pressure is applied to the block.
The facing surfaces of the leg portions are provided with opposite pairs of vertically spaced grooves, opening at least at one end, and shaped to slidably receive edgewise a coin or ball marker which serves as an abutment to engage the head of the tee placed in the open end of the slot and to force the shank of the tee into the ground until the bottoms of the legs engage the surface of the ground.
The elevation of the head of the tee will thus depend upon the particular pair of grooves the abutment is placed in, or the absence of a removable abutment in which case the end wall of the slot will serve as an abutment for minimal insertion of the shank of the tee in the ground, i.e., a maximum elevation of the head of the tee and the ball.
In use, the coin or other abutment member is placed in one of the pairs of slots depending on the elevation of the ball desired, the tee being placed with its head against the abutment in the slot and held therein by the fingers or other parts of the hand of the player. The block and tee are then directed to the ground and, after the pointed end of the shank of the tee has entered the ground, force is applied by the player's fingers to the sides or other parts of the block to sink the shank into the ground until the bottoms of the legs engage the surface of the ground.
Other features and advantages will hereinafter appear.
In the accompanying drawings:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the device of the present invention in use.
FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing one embodiment of the present invention, and showing an abutment member in one pair of slots.
FIG. 3 is a front elevation of the article as shown in FIG. 2.
FIG. 4 is a side elevation of the article as shown in FIG. 2.
FIG. 5 is a view like FIG. 4, showing a modified form of the abutrrient positioned in the slots.
As stated above, the gauge for placing a tee for golf balls of the present invention in its presently preferred form comprises a body of suitable material, such as wood, metal, or plastic composition, or a combination of the same, and may comprise a block having a top 11 and a bottom 12, faces 13 and 14 and sides 15. The block 10 has a slot 16 extending from the bottom 12 upwardly and has its wall 17 located a determinate distance from the bottom 12 of the block. The slot 16 forms two spaced leg portions 18.
The inner faces 19 of the leg portions 18 have a plurality of pairs of vertically spaced grooves 20, 21, 22 and 23 which, in the embodiment shown in the drawings, extend from the one face 13 to the other face 14 of the block. The grooves 20, 21, 22 and 23 are placed at determinate distances from the bottom 12 of the block and from each other, and the vertical spacing may be the same, preferably about one-fourth inch apart.
The grooves to 23 of each pair are opposite each other and have a width approximately equal to the thickness of the particular coin, for instance a dime; or, if desired, a disk D provided with suitable identifying marks, which may be used as a ball location marker, may be slid into a pair of oppositely disposed grooves 20, 21, 22 or 23 and constitute an abutment member 24 in the slot 16.
The slot 16 has a width such that it may receive the head or top of a golf ball tee 25, as illustrated in FIG. 3, while the shaft or shank 26 of the tee 25 may project more or less from the end of the legs 18. Preferably, the sides of the leg portions 18 may carry indicia indicating the distance for the grooves from the bottom of the legs to the ground.
Assuming that the player desires that the golf ball be elevated approximately one-half inch above the surface of the adjacent ground, the abutment member 24 would be slid into the grooves 22. The tee would then be inserted in the slot and would be held with the head 27 of the tee against the abutment 24 by the thumb and index fingers of the players hand as shown in FIG. 1, and then, with the tee so held, it would be directed toward the ground and pressure applied most conveniently on the top 11 of the block to push the shank of the tee into the ground until the bottoms 12 of the legs engage the surface of the ground. The block 10 would then be withdrawn leaving the tee placed in the ground with the head at the desired elevation.
If it were desirable that the golf ball be held at a higher elevation, say 1 inch from the ground, the abutment member 24 would be placed in the slots 20; and if it were desired that the ball be elevated l A inches from the ground, the abutment member would be placed aside and the top 1 l of the tee would be placed against the bottom wall 17 of the block.
Thus it will be seen that by merely placing an abutment member in the oppositely disposed slots 20, 21, 22 or 23 or removing the abutment, the player can conveniently control the position of the ball on the tee for the particular drive to be made.
While there are only four grooves shown in the form of the invention herein illustrated, the bottom 17 of the slot provides a fifth determinable position for supporting the golf ball. If desired, the abutment member 24 may be as shown in FIG. 5, in which a portion 29 which is shaped to fit in any one of the grooves 20, 21, 22 or 23 is united with or forms part of a disk 30 which has a thickness approximately half the distance between the adjacent grooves 20, 21, 22 or 23. Therefore, by placing the device 28 in one of the slots with the disk 30 extending upwardly or downwardly, approximately twice the number of determinate positions can be obtained.
The sides of the legs 18 may be provided with indicia to indicate the distance the head of the tee will be elevated from the ground when the abutment is placed in the various grooves.
Variations and modifications may be made within the scope of the claims and portions of the improvements may be used without others.
I claim:
