Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] This invention relates to T-Mark.

Conventional T-marks are mainly made of wood, iron, cast metal, or aluminum alloy castings. On the other hand, during play, a golf ball that misses a shot often collides with the tee mark, but once it collides, it goes without saying that it is bounced back with great force, and the direction in which it is bounced is completely unpredictable due to the rotation of the golf ball. In many cases, the ball was in the wrong direction, causing unforeseen accidents when it hit other players or gear rallies.

Therefore, the present invention aims to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks by improving this tee mark, and has the following points: It is possible to suppress the rebound of the golf ball that hits the tee mark. Specifically, the marking part 1 of the Tee Mark is made of soft rubber and is hollow, and holes 3 are provided at appropriate locations to allow the air inside A to escape when a golf ball collides with the golf ball. The air inside the hollow marking part 1 escapes due to the impact force caused by the collision of the golf ball, and the marking part 1 is also depressed and deformed so that the golf ball can be caught once.

Therefore, even if a golf ball collides with the hollow marker part 1, the air inside the hollow marker part 1 is pushed out from the hole 3 into the atmosphere by the impact force at the time of the collision, and the hollow marker part 1 is deformed. As a result, the golf ball is temporarily moved to the marking part 1.
The flying energy is captured by the
Also, since it is reliably absorbed, it will not be bounced back.

Next, an example of implementation of the T-mark according to the present invention will be explained based on the drawings.

First, FIG. 1 shows an example of a case in which the marking part 1 is made of a material that elastically deforms itself greatly when hit by a golf ball, catches the golf ball once, and has a restoring force, that is, soft rubber. It has a hollow ball shape made of a thin skin 2, and has an air escape hole 3 provided at the bottom of the marking part 1 to penetrate the inside and outside of the skin 2.

Next, FIG. 2 shows another embodiment, in which the entire skin 2 of the hollow ball shown in FIG.
It is constructed by drilling holes 3 at intervals of about 10 mm from each other.

Therefore, in each of the above examples, when the golf ball collides with the marking part 1, the air inside the marking part 1 escapes into the atmosphere from the air escape hole 3 due to the impact force, and the outer skin 2 becomes large. The golf ball is dented deeply and over a wide range, and due to this dent, the golf ball is once caught on the marking part 1,
It rolls down from this sign part 1 onto the taking ground without being bounced back.

In each of the detailed examples described above, the marker portion 1 has been described as being spherical, but it goes without saying that various modifications may be made without departing from the purpose of the present invention. Further, numeral 4 in each drawing is a stand.

As described above in detail in the embodiments, the T-mark according to the present invention has a sign part 1 made of a hollow material made of soft rubber that elastically deforms when a golf ball collides with it and catches it once. Since holes 3 are formed in the body and holes 3 are provided at appropriate locations through which air can escape, even if a misshot golf ball collides with the marking part 1, the marking part 1 itself does not have the rigidity of metal. Because it is elastically deformed by the impact force and catches the golf ball, it effectively uses the flight energy of the golf ball.
Moreover, it can be reliably absorbed and bounce can be effectively suppressed. Even if the ball rebounds, the power of the ball is reduced as much as possible by the catch, and the material does not have a large restoring repulsion force, so the rebound force is not enough to cause any damage to the player or the gear rally. can be sufficiently suppressed to provide a safe T-mark.

Furthermore, even if a golf ball collides with the marking part 1, the marking part 1 automatically returns to its original shape due to its own restoring force. It is aesthetically pleasing and does not have the disadvantage of staining the eating ground or fairway.
