Abstract

Un marqueur à DEL pour parcours de golf et procédé de marquage à DEL pour parcours de golf dans lequel il est utilisé, procédé dans lequel un objet de marquage, par exemple, un drapeau ou un marqueur de distance, est rendu visible même sous la pluie, dans le brouillard ou dans une zone sombre de coucher de soleil, et grâce auquel un joueur peut jouer au golf rapidement, commodément et en toute sécurité, sans risque d'identification erronée d'une cible. Dans le marqueur à DEL (1) de l'invention, un boîtier (3) est fixé à la partie supérieure d'un poteau (2) pour drapeau. Le boîtier (3) contient une unité luminescente à DEL (5), une cellule solaire (6) et une batterie (7). Lorsque l'unité luminescente à DEL (5) est commandée par la batterie (7), la lumière est émise vers l'extérieur par les DEL, à travers la face de la paroi du boîtier (3), par clignotement à intervalles spécifiés. Le marqueur à DEL (1) est de préférence doté d'un capteur d'inclinaison (8) qui met en marche/arrête l'alimentation de l'unité luminescente à DEL (5) par détection de l'inclinaison du poteau (2). De plus, un capteur de contact conçu pour mettre en marche/arrêter l'alimentation de l'unité luminescente à DEL (5) par la détection de l'état de contact entre le poteau (2) et une coupelle, est de préférence prévu.
