Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a recreational form of golf played in the yard, field, gymnasium, or basketball court whether indoors or outdoor and provides a portable golf game which can be used indoors and outdoors where no other traditional golf can be played.
  • Millenn Golf is designed to be a more economical and challenging way of golfing than regular golf; yet it is complementary to regular golf.
  • the US patent no. 4,776,596 discloses a golf ball made of plastic and having braking means in the form of a shuttlecock wing.
  • the wing has a generally funnel-shaped configuration and includes a plurality of ribs.
  • a target device including a basket arranged above a target sheet.
  • Millenn Golf is a flexible yet challenging indoor and outdoor game which may be played by people of differing ages with enjoyment, entertainment and variety without great expense.
  • equipment for a portable golf game is provided as defined in claim 1.
  • Millenn Golf each player uses an ordinary golf club to strike the Nium Flyer from a portable strip of synthetic turf, causing the Nium Flyer to soar into the air towards or into the Netty Millenn. The goal is to strike the Nium Flyer as few times as possible with the golf club until the Nium Flyer lands into and rests in the Netty Millenn.
  • points may be used and assigned for successfully landing the Nium in the upper or lower Netty Millenn, depending upon the particular game chosen at that time by the players or game master.
  • the course may consist of one or more Netty Millenn as deemed necessary and desirable by the players and/or the game master for the day.
  • the players may choose from anyone of four Nium Flyers in playing Millenn Golf. Unlike regular golf, where up to 14 clubs are available to be used with the same ball, the Millenn golfer uses only two clubs, a driver and/or a lofted iron, and may choose any one of the four Nium Flyers. There are two Velo Niums, the small size and the large size. The other two Nium Flyers are called Stealthy Nium and SC Nium.
  • the players or the game master for the day decides which Nium Flyer is to be used for a particular game. Likewise, the players and/or the game master for the day decides the points given for the goal achieved before the start of any particular game being played. All participants must agree on the rules and points of the game in advance.
  • the game master for the day is responsible for all rule making and decisions on rule contests and scoring disputes, if any. The players are responsible for their own correct scoring.
  • Velo Nium small size, is a dimpled vinyl and/or plastic object in the shape of an American-type football. It is 78 millimeters (mm) in diameter and 104 mm long. It has plastic wing-fins inserted in the rear of the object around a plastic shaft/tube which is 3.6 mm in diameter and 78 mm in length. The small Velo Nium is lighter than the larger one and is suggested for use by children.
  • Velo Nium large size, is a dimpled vinyl and/or plastic object in the shape of an American-type football. It is 126 mm in diameter and 168 mm in length. It has plastic wing-fins inserted in the rear of the object around a plastic shaft/tube. The total weight of this object is approximately 80 grams.
  • Stealthy Nium is a dimpled vinyl and/or plastic ball which is 42 mm in diameter. It has plastic wing-fins inserted into the ball around a plastic shaft/tube. The overall length of Stealth Nium is 110 mm, and the maximum width is 78 mm.
  • SC Nium is a dimpled vinyl and/or plastic ball which is 42 mm in diameter, with a total overall length of 110 mm. It is a one-piece injection-blow-molded object. SC Nium is unique, with a 3600 spinning solid wing-hub assembly, to which is attached the solid plastic wing. The wingspan diameter is 80 mm. SC Nium comes in many bright and pastel colors for multiplayer identification purposes.
  • the Netty Millenn is composed of an umbrella like frame with doubled fabric netting on the base of the inverted umbrella with a smaller upper net, topped by the Millenn Golf Flag, all of which constitute the goal of the people playing Millenn Golf.
  • the Netty Millenn may be deployed in either the single net or the double net format and may either be inserted into the metal spike which is driven into the ground, or it may be mounted on the 30 mm base plate for use on hard surfaces.
  • the players use either a driver or an ordinary lofted golf club in striking the Nium Flyer which rests on a strip of synthetic turf at the start of the stroke by the player. After the stroke is played, the player then carries the strip of synthetic turf to the location of the Nium Flyer, places the Nium Flyer on the synthetic turf and repeats the process until the Nium Flyer comes to rest in the netting of the Netty Millenn.
  • Millenn Golf can be played almost anywhere in all kinds of climates on just about any kind of surface. Millenn Golf is environmentally friendly, demanding, and leaving little or no damage to the area where it is played. In playing Millenn Golf, the players may use a strip of synthetic turf as a launching mat.
  • the launching mat is 400 mm x 200 mm x 20 mm.
  • the launching mat is green with white letters down the center to guide the stroke being played by the player to avoid damage to the surface upon which Millenn Golf is being played.
  • the letters on the launch mat are as follows in a line down the center of the green launch pad: E N V I R ⁇ N M A T T L E N N.
  • the launch mat also is lettered with a white Japanese katakana with the same name as in English letters. Millenn Golf is designed to be enjoyed by all ages across all cultures, all of which is environmentally friendly yet demanding.
  • FIGS. 1 through Figure 3 depict the general construction of the Netty Millenn with both upper and lower nets in the open position assembled on the shaft which is inserted into the base plate 1.
  • the lower net 2 is substantially larger than the upper net 4.
  • These nets are constructed of nylon netting material, assembled around and attached to the metal ribs 7 and 9, which are in turn attached to the upper frame tube 5 and lower frame tube 6.
  • the base plate assembly 1 is depicted. The flag 3 is then mounted in the top of upper frame tube 5 and above the upper net 4.
  • FIG 4 again the Netty Millenn is depicted in a disassembled or exploded version with upper frame tube 5 and lower frame tube 6; upper net 4 and flag 3 are disconnected from lower frame tube 6 and base plate assembly 1.
  • the pointed spike 8 is used when ordinary ground or turf is the location for Millenn Golf.
  • the spine 8 is inserted into lower frame tube 6 in place of base plate assembly 1.
  • Upper net 4 and net rib 7 are also shown.
  • Figure 5 depicts the cross-sectional detail of the lower frame tube 6, with the pointed spike assembly inserted into the base of lower frame tube 6 when pointed spike tube 19 is inserted inside the sleeve of lower frame tube 6.
  • the assembly using spike 8 with the pointed ground spike shoulder 18 is securely fastened to lower frame tube 6 by the lower clamp 12.
  • Lower net 2 is mounted in net rib mounting strip 10 and moves about pivot 11.
  • Figure 6 depicts a cross-sectional detail of the connection between upper frame tube 5 and lower frame tube 6, which are securely fastened by upper clamp 13.
  • the lower frame tube shoulder 16 on the top of lower frame tube 6 prevents any further insertion of the lower frame tube insert tube 17 further into the base of upper frame tube 5.
  • the upper net rib 9 is mounted in the upper net rib mounting strip 14 at pivot 15.
  • Figure 7 is a cross-sectional detail of the base plate assembly 1 as it attaches to the lower frame tube 6 by means of insertion of the base plate tube 21 into 6. Again, lower clamp 12 is used to securely fasten those two members together. Base plate tube 21 is threaded into base plate 20 to securely hold those two components together when the base plate assembly 1 is used in playing Millenn Golf.
  • the net rib mounting strip 10 and pivot 11 are also located in this drawing, Figure 7, where the lower net 2 is attached for deployment.
  • Figure 8 Figure 9, Figure 10, Figure 11, Figure 12, Figure 13, and Figure 14 all concern SC Nium Flyer.
  • Ball 30 is mounted on the badminton-style fairing 31 which contains numerous openings 32.
  • Figure 11 the view from the base of the badminton-style fairing 31 shows the screw/shoulder screw 35 as it attaches ball 30 to badminton-style fairing 31.
  • the threads 33 are bored into the ball 30.
  • the screw/shoulder screw 35 is then screwed into threads 33 through 34, the thick base of 31.
  • the tapered wall in 31 is identified by 36.
  • the badminton-style fairing 31 is depicted with 37, hole in 31.
  • the spherical housing in 31 is identified at 38, which is the location on which 30 rests in the fully assembled position once screw/shoulder screw 35 is screwed into 33, the threads in 30.
  • Figure 15, Figure 16, Figure 17, and Figure 18 concern the Stealthy Nium Flyer with a four wing-fin arrangement 40.
  • the unitized ball 39 is mounted on the center tube/rod 41 on the opposite end of tube/rod end 42.
  • Figure 19 depict the Stealthy Nium Flyer with the three wing-fin assembly 43 according to an embodiment of the invention, attached to the unitized ball 39.
  • the recess on the wing-fin edge 44 exposes more of the side, and 45 is the recessed edge on wing-fin 43.
  • FIG 23, Figure 24, Figure 25, and Figure 26 depict the Velo Nium Flyer with upper portion of football head 46 and lower portion of football head 47. These FIGS. 23 -26 depict the Velo Nium Flyer in the four wing-fin assembly 48, which are attached to center tube/rod 49.
  • FIG 28, Figure 29, and Figure 30 depict upper football head 46 and lower portion 47 of Velo Nium Flyer with football broadside 50 resting on and mounted on center tube/rod 49.
  • Velo Nium Flyer a three wing-fin 52 assembly is used. The wing-fins are attached to the football broadside head 50 and are also attached at tube/rod end 53. Lower portion of football head 47 recesses at 51.
  • Figure 31 is the fully assembled Netty Millenn with the upper net 4 and lower net 2 in the collapsed position, with the upper net rib 9 and the lower net rib 7 in the folded or collapsed position.
  • the upper net snap strap 23 is ready for closure, as is the lower net snap strap 22.
  • Figure 32 is the Millenn Golf flag which is either white, orange, or green.
  • Figure 33 is the E N V I R ⁇ N M A T T L E N N strip of indoor-outdoor synthetic turf or carpet on which appears down the center line the word E N V I R ⁇ N M A T T L E N N in white letters on the synthetic turf mat used in Millenn Golf.
  • the mat measures 400 mm x 200 mm x 20 mm.
  • Figure 34 is another drawing of E N V I R ⁇ N M A T T L E N N with the Japanese katakana down the center line of the E N V I R ⁇ N M A T T L E N N. Again, this mat is the Japanese version of E N V I R ⁇ N M A T T L E N N using white letters down the center line of the synthetic turf mat used in playing Millenn Golf.
  • each player uses an ordinary golf club to strike the Nium Flyer from a portable strip of synthetic turf, E N V I R ⁇ N M A T T L E N N, causing the Nium Flyer to soar into the air toward or into the Netty Millenn in the fewest strikes of the Nium Flyer with the golf club as possible until the Nium Flyer lands into and rests in the Netty Millenn.
  • Each player then removes the Nium Flyer from the Netty Millenn and proceeds to repeat the game process to any number of Netty Millenn in the course as determined by the players or the game master for the day.
  • the player with the fewest strokes, as in regular golf, is the winner of that particular match or event.
  • points may be used and assigned for successfully landing the Nium Flyer in the upper or lower Netty Millenn, depending upon the particular game chosen at that time by the players or game master.
  • the course may consist of one or more Netty Millenn as desired and deemed necessary by the players and/or the game master for the day or that particular event.
  • the players choose from anyone of four Nium Flyers in playing Millenn Golf. In Millenn Golf, the players use only two clubs, a driver and/or a lofted iron, to strike the Nium Flyer chosen for that particular game or portion of the course.
