Definitions

  • the invention relates to a golf tee with a shaft which can be plugged into the ground and a head which is provided with a ball support which is at least largely adapted to the outer shape of the golf ball and the diameter of which decreases from the upper edge in the direction of the shaft
  • a golf tee is known, for example, from US-A-5, 154,417, in which the head is made in one piece with the shaft and that consists of an inner, stiff reinforcing part, which on the outside is elastic and resistant to wear Is polymer coated, is also known
  • the shape of the head also has a certain meaning or has a certain influence on the trajectory of the golf ball defined at and by the tee
  • Many of the conventionally designed golf tees with a circular head shape are problematic in this regard.With a small ball rest there is less danger that the trajectory of the golf ball is impaired when it is hit but the positioning of the golf ball more difficult With a comparatively large ball support, the golf ball can be stabilized more easily, but the high head stiffness can undesirably influence the trajectory
  • the invention is based on the object in this regard to remedy the situation by a corresponding design of the head
  • edge region of the head can be bent or bent elastically, at least in places, under the action of force, by recessed areas or regions formed on the edge region of the ball support
  • a golf tee designed according to the invention has a ball rest, which ensures a stable positioning of the golf ball. With a certain force, such as occurs on the tee, the edge region of the head can deform, as a result of which the trajectory of the golf ball remains almost unaffected during the tee
  • the recessed points or areas on the edge area of the ball rest are recesses.

  • an elastically jerkable deformation of the edge region of the head can also be ensured or supported by the fact that the or other recessed points or regions are open spaces between lobes-like projections distributed over the circumference of the edge region
  • a further embodiment in which this flexibility of the edge region is ensured, provides that the ball support has a base area in the form of a spherical segment and at least two extensions projecting therefrom
  • a golf ball can be positioned particularly well in an embodiment variant in which the extensions of the ball support give an oval shape in plan view or in which the extensions of the ball support give at least approximately the shape of a regular rounded n-corner with n> 3 in plan view, a golf ball can be positioned particularly well
  • the approaches are also designed such that they protrude the radius of the particularly circular base surface of the ball support surface by 1 mm to 3 mm, in particular by up to 1.5 mm.
  • the radius of the base surface of the ball support surface is chosen in particular between 5 mm and 7 mm.
  • the diameter of the ball which is slightly larger than that of conventional golf tees, is better able to close the golf ball on the golf tee Stabilize A possible inclination of the golf tee without the ball falling down can therefore be greater than is the case with conventional tees

Abstract

L'invention concerne un tee de golf comprenant une tige (1) pouvant être enfoncée dans le sol et une tête (12,12',12'',12''',12IV), munie d'une surface de logement de la balle (3,3',13,13'',13''',13IV), adaptée au moins dans une large mesure à la forme extérieure d'une balle de golf et dont le diamètre diminue en direction de la tige, depuis le bord supérieur. La zone marginale de la tête (2,2',12,12',12'',12''',12IV) peut être cintrée ou infléchie, au moins par endroits, sous l'effet des forces exercées, avec remise élastique en position initiale, par des points ou des zones (7,27,37,8,8',8'',8''') aménagés par enlèvement de matière au niveau de la zone marginale du logement prévu pour la balle (3,3',13,13',13'',13''',13IV).
