Description

golf tee

The present invention relates to a golf tee that can reduce the risk of loss when teeing off.

Typically, golf starts at the tee point for each hole, and at this time, golfers place a golf tee on the tee point to properly lift the golf ball off the ground depending on the condition of the grass or the golfer's height, and then place the golf ball on the tee before hitting a drive shot or iron shot.

However, since the grass condition at the tee point is not always even for each hole, there is the inconvenience of having to always carry around three types of tees of different heights, such as a short tee, middle tee, and long tee, and there is also the risk of losing them.

To address the above issues, various forms of technology have been developed.

For example, Republic of Korea Publication Utility Model No. 20-2018-0002585 (hereinafter referred to as “Patent Document 1”) proposed a technology for adjusting the height of a golf tee by forming a height-adjusting groove in a tee and forming a fixing member including a fixing member coupled to the height-adjusting groove.

(Patent Document 1) KR20-2018-0002585 U Height-adjustable golf tee

However, the above-described patent document 1 has a structure in which a hole is formed in the support of the tee and then a pin-shaped fixing part is inserted into the hole to connect it, so the support is easily broken when a tee shot is made.

In addition, in order to prevent the fixed member from coming off during a tee shot, an axle projection is formed in the fixed member, and a corresponding height adjustment groove is formed with a structure in which a moving groove and a rotating groove are formed. However, this structure is not only difficult to manufacture, but also has the problem of low durability and being easily damaged.

The purpose of the present invention for solving the above problems is to provide a golf tee in which a catch is formed in a fixed portion that connects a support portion and then the support portion expands when the support portion is connected, thereby preventing the support portion and the support portion connected to the fixed portion from being separated even when teeing off, thereby reducing the risk of loss.

Another object of the present invention is to form first and second extension bars on a support member and form a guide groove on a golf ball support member of a support member to form a straightness of a golf ball, thereby enabling not only beginners but also intermediate players to smoothly send a golf ball in a direction set by themselves.

The present invention forms a catch in a fixed part that connects a support part and then expands when the support part is connected, so that the support part and the support part connected to the fixed part are not separated even when teeing off, thereby reducing the risk of loss.

In addition, it is a useful invention that allows not only beginners but also intermediate players to smoothly send a golf ball in a direction they have set by forming first and second extension bars on the support section and forming a guide groove on the golf ball support section of the support section to form a straight line of the golf ball.

Figure 2 is an exploded perspective view of Figure 1.
Figure 3 is a state diagram showing the expansion state of the fixed part according to the rotation of the support part according to the present invention.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be examined in more detail using the attached drawings.

First, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the support member (10) forms a support member body (11) in which a joining hole (11a) is formed in a multi-stage shape, including a second hole (h2) formed concentrically with the first hole (h1) and having a smaller diameter than the first hole (h1), and a third hole (h3) formed concentrically with the first and second holes (h1, h2) and having a larger diameter than the second hole (h2) and a smaller diameter than the first hole (h1) above the second hole (h2).

In addition, a first extension bar (12) extending outwardly from the support body (11) and a second extension bar (13) extending perpendicularly to the first extension bar (12) are formed so that the first and second extension bars (12, 13) are configured to form a cross shape.

Here, one of the first and second extension bars (12, 13) described above may be configured to further include a ring hole (15).

Next, the fixed part (20) is formed with a first fixed part body (21) that is coupled to the first hole (h1) of the coupling holes (11) that constitute the support body (11) that constitutes the support part (10) described above, and second and third fixed part bodies (22, 23) that are sequentially coupled to the second and third holes (h2, h3) are formed on the upper side of the first fixed part body (21).

Here, the second fixed body (22) is formed to have a smaller diameter than the first fixed body (21), and the third fixed body (23) is formed to have a smaller diameter than the first fixed body (21) and a larger diameter than the second fixed body (23).

In addition, a support member joining hole (24) is formed by penetrating the inside of the first, second, and third fixed body bodies (21, 22, 23), a plurality of partition grooves (25) are formed to partition the second and third fixed body bodies (22, 23), and a fixing projection (26) is formed by extending inward from a position where the partition grooves (25) are formed among the support member joining holes (24).

Here, the fixed jaws (26) are formed in two places with the partition groove (25) in between, and are configured so that two fixed jaws (26) can be formed in symmetrical positions.

The above-described fixed member (20) is not particularly limited, but is preferably made of an elastic material that can flexibly respond when an external force is applied.

In addition, a catch groove (14) may be further formed in the first hole (h1) of the support body (11) constituting the support member (10), and a catch step (27) coupled to the catch groove (14) may be further included in the first fixing member body (21) of the fixing member (20) coupled to the first hole (h1).

Next, the support member (30) is configured to be coupled to the fixed member (20) described above.

This supporting member (30) includes an extension bar (31) that is coupled to the supporting member joining hole (24) of the fixed member (20), a wedge (32) formed to be embedded in the ground on the lower side of the extension bar (31), a plurality of height-adjusting grooves (33) formed in the height direction on the extension bar (31), and a joining bar (34) formed by the height-adjusting grooves (33), and a golf ball support member (35) for supporting a golf ball is included on the upper side of the extension bar (31).

Here, the connecting bar (34) constituting the support member (30) is formed so that the width in the horizontal and vertical directions, that is, the first width surface (w1) in one direction is larger than the second width surface (w2) in the other direction as shown in FIG. 3, and the first width surface (w2) is formed to have a size larger than the connecting hole (24) of the support member constituting the fixed member (20), and the second width surface (w2) of the connecting bar (34) is preferably smaller than the distance (w) between the symmetrically formed catches (26) constituting the fixed member (20).

And the height size of the catch (26) constituting the fixed part (20) can be made smaller than the height size of the height-adjusting groove (33) so that it can be inserted into the height-adjusting groove (33) constituting the support part (30).

In addition, the golf ball support member (35) constituting the above-mentioned support member (30) may further include a guide groove (35a) to improve the straightness of the golf ball when hitting after the golf ball is placed.

The usage method of the golf tee according to the present invention having the above configuration is as follows.

First, in order to fix the golf tee (50) according to the present invention to the ground, the support member (30) must be coupled to the support member joining hole (24) of the fixing member (20) coupled to the support member (10).

Here, the method of joining the support member (30) is to insert the second width (w2) portion of the joining bar (34) of the support member (30) so that it is parallel to the position where the catch (26) formed in the support member joining hole (24) constituting the fixed member (20) is formed, and the support member (30) is joined to the position desired by the user.

Then, the catch (26) of the fixed part (20) is placed at the height-adjusting groove (33) position of one of the above-mentioned supporting parts (30).

Here, the height of the catch (26) of the fixed part (20) is made smaller than the height of the height-adjusting groove (33), and the second width surface (w2) is made smaller than the separation distance (w) of the catch (26), so that the catch (26) can be coupled to the height-adjusting groove (33).

At this time, the first width surface (w1) of the connecting bar (34) forming the supporting member (30) is made to be larger than the supporting member connecting hole (24) of the fixing member (20), so that the fixing member (20) made of an elastic material expands outward due to elasticity at the position where the first width surface (w1) is arranged, and as a result, the position where the second width surface (w2) is formed is relatively contracted inward.

Meanwhile, when the support member (10) is broken in the above state and the support member (30) is rotated, the support member (30) rotates at the fixed member (20), and at this time, the rotation angle is approximately 90 degrees.

Then, the first width surface (w1) is positioned at the position where the catch (26) forming the fixed part (20) is formed, and the part where the catch (26) is positioned expands in the outer direction, and the position in the approximately 90 degree direction where the catch (26) is not formed, on the contrary, contracts in the inner direction.

Therefore, at the location where the first width surface (w1) is formed, the movement of the support member (30) in the upper and lower directions is restricted by the catch (26).

That is, as the location where the first width surface (w1) is formed expands, a fixing force is generated in the height-adjusting groove (33).

Meanwhile, when the fixing connection of the support member (30) to the fixed member (20) as described above is completed, the wedge (32) of the support member (30) is placed into the ground.

Here, in the present invention, first and second extension bars (12, 13) are formed on the outer surface of the support body (11) of the support member (10).

Therefore, aiming can be achieved by rotating the golf tee (50) of the present invention so that one of the first and second extension bars (12, 13) aligns with the direction in which the user wants to send the golf ball.

As described above, when the fixing of the support member (30) to the fixed member (20) is completed and the present invention is placed on the ground, and the user hits the golf ball support member (35) of the support member (30), the present invention forms a strong fixing bond between the fixed member (20) and the support member (30), so that even if the golf club is hit, the support member (10) and the support member (30) connected to the fixed member (20) do not become separated, thereby preventing the loss of the golf tee (50) during a tee shot.

In particular, in the present invention, as described above, if the direction of the support member (10) is aligned with the direction of one of the first and second extension bars (12, 13) in the direction in which the user wants to send the golf ball, aiming can be easily achieved, and furthermore, since a guide groove (35a) is formed in the golf ball support member (35) constituting the support member (30) of the present invention, it acts to ensure that the golf ball travels straight when the golf ball is hit, thereby helping not only beginners but also intermediate players to send the golf ball in the direction they have set.

Meanwhile, in the present invention, a ring hole (15) is formed in one of the first and second extension bars (12, 13) constituting the support member (10), so that the present invention can be used when not in use or when moving by combining the support member (30) or by connecting a separate string or the like thereto.

Although the above-described embodiments have been described for the most preferred embodiments of the present invention, it is to be understood by those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited thereto and that various modifications may be made and used within the scope set forth in the claims of the present invention.
