2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a normal golf tee is hit with a ball when hit by a golf club during a tee shot, and a player often loses sight of the golf tee. As a countermeasure for this, in a first example of conventional countermeasures, a golf tee 61 for wood, a golf tee 62 for iron and a green correction tool 63 are connected with a string 64 as shown in FIG. Although the golf club hits the golf tee when the golf tee hits the golf tee, the golf tee has a short flight distance and is effective in making it easy to find the golf tee. There are disadvantages such as inconvenience because the volume is bulky because the long cords 64 are connected to the green correction tool 63 and 61 and 62, and the price is expensive due to the large number of main components. Was.

As a second example of conventional countermeasures, there is a golf tee in which a lower portion and an upper portion are simply joined by a hinge. A golf ball is placed on an upper ball mounting portion, and the golf tee is teeed up to hit the ball. Then, the upper part of the golf tee also receives the impact force of the hit ball, the upper part bends in the hitting direction with respect to the lower part and absorbs a little impact force in the hitting direction, but in the course of bending, a large impact force is applied to the lower part and it escapes The disadvantage is that the upper and lower parts are only rotatably connected when flying and teeing up, so the lower part is easily bent when placing the ball into the ground and the stability is poor, making it difficult to use. There was inconvenience.

[0004] For this reason, the golf tees are rarely used, and the players continue to use ordinary golf tees. Was also getting worse.

[0005] The present invention relates to a golf tee, and when the golf ball is teeed up, the lower part is stabbed into the ground to easily bend when the ball is placed, resulting in poor stability and difficulty in use. There are no drawbacks, and even when the upper part of the golf tee receives the impact force of the ball when hitting, it absorbs the impact force and the golf tee fixed to the ground does not fall out and fly, and the configuration is simple and bulky A golf tee is provided. That is, the present invention provides a golf tee that is stable, easy to use, convenient to fly, has a simple structure, and is inexpensive.

Even when the golf club 1 hits the upper support member 3 of the golf tee 1, the upper support member 3 and the lower support member 2 are connected to each other by the connecting member 4, but are separated from each other. Since it is received not through the connection member 4 but through the connection member 4, it can be greatly reduced, does not fly out, and is fixed first when trying to take the golf tee 1. Since it leaves the lower support member 2 in the positions, nor lose sight. Further, since the upper support member 3 is placed on the receiving portion 22 of the lower support member 2, the configuration is simple, and the size of the golf tee 1 is the same as that of a normal golf tee, and is compact and bulky. Inexpensive, easy to use and much more convenient.

FIG. 2 shows a first embodiment of the present invention.
This is shown in FIGS. FIG. 2 is a perspective view, and FIGS. 3 and 4 are cross-sectional views. FIGS. 2 and 3 show a state where the lower support member 2 and the upper support member 3 are separated and the connection member 4 is extended so that the structure can be easily understood. ing. The golf tee 1 includes a lower support member 2, an upper support member 3, and a connection member 4. The lower support member 2 includes a wedge-shaped portion 21 at a lower portion, a receiving portion 22, an opening portion 23, a hook portion 26, and a knob portion 24 to receive the upper support member 3 at an upper portion. 3 is provided with an opening 23 in the direction of impact applied by the golf club head, the receiving portion 31 of the upper support member 3 is rubbed off, the hook portion 26 is connected to the connecting member 4, The knob 24 is provided on the upper end of the lower support member 2. The upper support member 3 has a ball receiving portion 32 at an upper portion thereof, a received portion 31 and a hook portion 33 at a lower portion, and the received portion 31 is substantially arranged so as to be placed on the receiving portion 22 of the lower support member 2. It has a male and female substantially frusto-conical shape, the receiving part 31 has a convex shape, and the receiving part 2
Reference numeral 2 denotes a concave shape, and the hook portion 26 is connected to the connection member 4. The connecting member 4 is composed of a ring-shaped elastic member 41 made of a rubber material, and the hook portion 26 of the lower support member 2 is formed.
The extension member 41 is connected to the hook portion 33 of the upper support member 3 in an extended state.

That is, the wedge-shaped portion 21 of the lower support member 2 is inserted into the ground, the lower support member 2 having the ball receiving portion 32 for mounting a golf ball is placed on the receiving portion 22, and the lower support member 2 and the upper In addition to the tee-up method in which the support member 3 is connected, the lower support member 2 having a wedge-shaped portion 21 at the lower portion, the receiving portion 22 at the upper portion, and the ball receiving portion 32 at the upper portion for receiving a ball is provided at the lower portion. Receiving part 2 of 2
An upper support member 3 having a receiving portion 31 mounted on the second support member 2;
Connection member 4 for connecting lower support member 2 and upper support member 3
Golf tee 1 consisting of

The upper support member 3 is placed on the receiving portion 22 in close contact with the lower support member 2 by the contraction force of the expansion / contraction member 41. Here, the elastic member 41 having a ring shape
In FIGS. 2, 3 and 4, the extended state is represented as a drawing from the side.

A description will be given of the function of the embodiment and the function thereof. First, at the time of teeing-up, the lower support member 2 is fixed by inserting the wedge-shaped portion 21 into the ground at a position where the wedge-shaped portion 21 is to be arranged so that the opening portion 23 comes in the traveling direction of the ball. At this time, the upper support member 3 is
Since the golf ball is placed on the receiving portion 22 in close contact with the golf ball, the golf ball is stably supported without tilting or wobbling even when the golf ball is placed on the ball receiving portion 32, and the tee-up is completed. Also, when the wedge-shaped portion 21 is inserted into the ground, the insertion can be easily performed by holding the knob portion 24 by hand. That is, by simply inserting the wedge-shaped portion 21 into the ground and placing the golf ball on the ball receiving portion 32, the tee-up can be performed with the same simplicity as that of a normal golf tee and without tilting or wobbling.

At the time of a tee shot, when the golf club head hits the upper support member 3 together with the golf ball, the impact energy of the golf club head causes the receiving portion 3 of the upper support member 3 to receive the tee shot.
1 attempts to fly out while receiving a force in the traveling direction of the golf ball while being pulled downward by the connecting member 4 at the hook portion 33, but rubs off from the opening portion 23 because the opening portion 23 is set, and Try to jump out, but the connecting member 4
And is blocked by the lower support member 2 fixed to the ground. Although the impact force at this time is applied to the upper support member 3, since the upper support member 3 and the lower support member 2 are separated, the impact energy of the golf club head is not directly received as an impact on the lower support member 2 and the connection is established. Since it is received via the member 4, it can be greatly reduced. In addition, since the lower supporting member 2 is connected to the lower supporting member 2 by the expanding and contracting member 41, the impact force is further buffered by the expanding and contracting member 41 and transmitted to the lower supporting member 2, so that the impact force can be further reduced, and the ground of the lower supporting member 2 can be fixed. Even though the power is the same as a normal golf tee, it does not come off. That is, the impact force on the lower support member 2 fixed to the ground can be significantly reduced, and the fixing force of the lower support member 2 can be reduced accordingly. Even if the shape is small, the upper support member 3 from the lower support member 2 does not come off the ground. Prevent separation. The opening 23
Since the receiving portion 31 of the upper supporting member 3 supports gravity by the receiving portion 22 of the lower supporting member 2,
The receiving force of the impact force of the golf club head is
, The impact force is reduced accordingly, and is transmitted to the lower support member 2 very little. Therefore, after finishing the tee shot, tee 1
Stays in the fixed position at the beginning, so if the tee 1 is to be taken, it only has to pass through the lower support member 2 in the fixed position at the beginning, and not only loses sight,
It is much more convenient.

Although the elastic member 41 is made of a rubber material such as natural rubber or synthetic rubber, it goes without saying that an elastic spring may be used. In addition, the hook portion 26,
Any shape may be used as long as it can be hooked on and fixed to 33 or connected and fixed.

FIG. 5 shows a second embodiment. FIG. 5 shows a case where the string 42 is used for the connection member 4 and the groove 35 of the upper support member 3 is used.
And the groove 25 of the lower support member 2. Connection member 4
Although it does not expand or contract, at the time of teeing up, the lower support member 2 is fixed by inserting the wedge-shaped portion 21 into the ground at the position to be arranged so that the opening 23 comes in the direction of ball travel. At this time, the upper support member 3 is
The receiving portion 31 of the upper support member 3 needs to be manually placed on the receiving portion 22 of the lower support member 2 because the telescopic member 41 is not in close contact with the receiving portion 22 of the golf ball. Is put on the ball receiving portion 32, the tee-up is completed. During a tee shot,
When the golf club head hits the upper support member 3 together with the golf ball, the impact energy thereof causes the upper support member 3
The receiving portion 31 has the opening 2 in the traveling direction of the golf ball.
3 is set, the user tries to slip through the opening 23 and further jump out. However, since the impact energy to the lower supporting member 2 is transmitted to the lower supporting member 2 via the connecting member 4, the energy can be greatly reduced. If the fixing force of the ground of No. 2 is set to be equal to or more than the product of the mass of the upper support member 3 and the acceleration to jump out, there is no escape. According to the experiment, even the driver's tee shot is conical and 0.8cm in diameter on the ground surface
When the insertion depth of the wedge-shaped portion 21 is 2.7 cm or more, the wedge-shaped portion 21 does not come out, and the impact force is larger than when the elastic member 41 of the first embodiment is used. Separation from the lower support member 2 can be prevented. That is, even after the tee shot, the golf tee 1 remains at the initially fixed position. Therefore, if the golf tee 1 is to be taken, the golf tee 1 only needs to pass through the lower support member 2 which is initially at the fixed position.

FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing a third embodiment. The connecting member 4 is a substantially U-shaped elastic member 410 made of a resin material having elasticity but a little less elasticity. The lower support member 2 is connected to the lower support member 2 at the upper side and the side surface, respectively. Further, in order to facilitate manufacture, the upper support member 3 and the main body 20 of the lower support member 2 are connected to each other. The connection member 4 is integrated. A hard resin cover 210 having a wedge-shaped outer shape is bonded and covered at the lower portion of the main body 20 to form a wedge-shaped portion 21 so that it can be easily inserted into the ground. here,
The main body 20 has a receiving portion 22, and the lower support member 2 includes the main body 20 and a cover 210. In this embodiment, the opening 23 is not provided in the receiving portion 22 of the lower support member 2. However, during a tee shot, when the golf club head hits the upper support member 3 together with the golf ball, the impact energy thereof causes the upper support member 3 to lose its impact energy. 3 and the receiving portion 22 of the lower supporting member 2 have elasticity, so that they are deformed to buffer the impact force, and even if the upper supporting member 3 is about to pop out, the connecting member 4 is formed of the elastic member. 41, it has a function of buffering the impact force, that is, the impact force on the lower support member 2 fixed to the ground can be significantly reduced.
Does not fall off, and a similar effect can be obtained.

Here, the receiving portion 31 and the receiving portion 32 are substantially U
Since the connecting members 4 of the V-shaped expansion / contraction members 410 are connected and integrated, the receiving part 31
An excellent effect that it can be naturally placed in a molded state without being placed on the receiving portion 32, a large shock-absorbing effect of the expanded and contracted connecting member, and that it is easy to integrally mold. Can be raised. Although the example in which the integration and the substantially U-shaped expansion / contraction member 410 are performed at the same time is shown here, it is needless to say that they can be performed independently and separately.

In FIG. 6, a hard cover 210 having a wedge-shaped outer shape is adhered to the lower portion of the main body 20 to form the wedge-shaped portion 21, but a hard member is provided at the lower end of the main body 20. Needless to say, it is good.

FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view of an embodiment in which the receiving portion 31 is a female and substantially concave shape, the receiving portion 22 is a male and substantially convex shape, and the wedge-shaped portion 21 is a hard member. The main body 20 of the upper support member 3 and the lower support member 2 and the connection member 4 are integrated. The shape of the receiving portion may be any substantially male and female shape as long as mounting is possible, and either may be male. The connecting member 4 is a U-shaped elastic member 410 made of a resin material having elasticity but a little less elasticity. The upper supporting member 3 is slightly lower, the side surface is lower, and the lower supporting member 2 is upper. A hard member 211 is inserted into a hole 201 at the lower end of the main body 20 of the lower support member 2 to form a wedge-shaped portion 21 that is connected to each other on the side surface, and is easily inserted into the ground.

When the receiving portion 31 has a substantially concave shape with a female and the receiving portion 22 has a substantially convex shape with a male, the opening is formed so that the receiving portion 21 of the lower supporting member 2 can pass through. The member 3 is provided with an opening. That is, the receiving portion having a substantially concave shape, or the receiving portion having a substantially convex shape to the receiving portion, or
What is necessary is just to provide so that a receiving part may slip through.

At this time, the main body 20 of the lower support member 2 also includes an opening 23 when the shape of the receiving portion 22 is substantially concave and an opening is provided. It will have the opening 23.

FIG. 8 is a perspective view showing the upper support member 3 for the iron golf club tee in the first embodiment. For irons, the height of the upper support member 3 is small.

FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view of an embodiment in which the connecting member 4 is incorporated into the upper supporting member 3 and the lower supporting member 2. The connecting member 4 is opposed to the upper supporting member 3 and the lower supporting member 2, respectively. Through holes 342, 272,
It has a bag-shaped hole 34 and a hole 27 having a large hollow portion 341 and a hollow portion 271 at the back, in which a connecting member 4 composed of an elastic member 41 is disposed.
1 is a hollow portion 341, a hollow portion 271 having a diameter of a small hole portion 342;
The upper support member 3 and the lower support member 2 are connected by having the head 411 larger than the small hole 272. That is, when the upper support member 3 is placed on the lower support member 2, the connection member 4 is set to the hole 34 of the upper support member 3 and the hole 27 of the lower support member 2 that face each other.

In this embodiment, since the connecting member 4 is set in the holes 34 and 27 in the upper supporting member 3 and the lower supporting member 2 and is settled therein, a compact and smart impression is given. Can be. Also in this embodiment, since the impact energy of the upper support member 3 is transmitted to the lower support member 2 via the connecting member 4, the impact energy of the lower support member 2 can be greatly reduced, and furthermore, the elastic member 41 which expands and contracts.
As a result, since the impact force is buffered by the expansion and contraction member 41 and transmitted to the lower support member 2, the impact force can be further reduced, and the lower support member 2 does not come off as in the first embodiment. And the same effect can be obtained.

Here, even if the connecting member 4 does not expand or contract, the same effect can be obtained although the impact is slightly increased.

[Effect of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, the wedge-shaped portion 21 of the lower support member 2 is inserted into the ground, and the lower support member 2 having the ball receiving portion 32 on which the golf ball is placed is placed on the receiving portion 22. And a method of teeing up a golf ball, wherein the lower support member 2 and the upper support member 3 are connected to each other, and the lower support member 2 having a wedge-shaped portion 21 at a lower portion and a receiving portion 22 at an upper portion. An upper support member 3 having a ball receiving portion 32 for receiving a ball at an upper portion and a received portion 31 placed on the receiving portion 22 of the lower support member 2 at a lower portion; and the lower support member 2 and the upper support member 3. Since the connecting member 4 is connected, the wedge-shaped portion 21 is inserted into the ground, and the lower supporting member 2 is fixed.
Only by placing the upper support member 3 on the receiving portion 22 of the lower support member 2 and placing the golf ball on the ball receiving portion 32, that is, simply inserting the wedge-shaped portion 21 on the ground and placing the golf ball on the ball receiving portion 32, At the time of teeing, the upper support member 3 can stably and easily tee the golf ball without tilting or wobbling, and the teeing is completed with the same convenience as a normal golf tee. Also, at the time of a tee shot, even if the golf club hits the upper support member 3 of the golf tee 1, the upper support member 3 tries to jump out of the receiving portion 22 of the lower support member 2 but is connected to the connection member 4 to connect to the ground. Is blocked by the lower support member 2 fixed to the second support member. Since the impact force at this time is such that the upper support member 3 and the lower support member 2 are separated from each other, the impact of the golf club head is not directly received as the impact on the lower support member 2 but is received via the connecting member 4. The lower support member 2 can be greatly reduced and does not fall out and fly. If the golf tee 1 is to be taken, the lower support member 2 which has been fixed at the first position only has to be pulled out. It is convenient. further,
Since the upper support member 3 is placed on the receiving portion 22 of the lower support member 2, the size of the golf tee 1 is the same as that of a normal golf tee, and it is very easy to use because it is not bulky. Also, since the configuration is simple, the cost can be reduced.

Further, by using the expansion / contraction member 41 as the connection member 4, the impact force is buffered by the expansion / contraction member 41 and transmitted to the lower support member 2, so that the impact force can be further greatly reduced and the fixing force of the lower support member 2 to the ground is usually smaller. Even if it is the same as a golf tee, it does not come off. That is, the impact force on the lower support member 2 fixed to the ground can be significantly reduced, and the fixing force of the lower support member 2 can be reduced accordingly. Even if the shape is small, the same effect can be obtained without falling off the ground. Less damage to golf tees and longer life. Similarly, it goes without saying that damage to the golf club head can be reduced.

When the opening portion 23 is provided, the receiving portion 31 of the upper support member 3 supports the gravity by the receiving portion 22 of the lower support member 2, but the impact force of the golf club head is not applied to the receiving portion 31. Since it rubs through the portion 23, its impact force is so small that it is transmitted to the lower support member 2 very little. Therefore, the fixing force of the lower support member 2 can be reduced accordingly. The effect can be improved, the golf tee is less damaged, and the life can be extended.

Further, if the knob portion 24 is provided at the upper end of the lower support member 2, when the wedge-shaped portion 21 is inserted into the ground,
By holding the knob portion 24 by hand, the effect that insertion can be easily performed can be enhanced.

The connecting member 4 is made of a resin material having elasticity but a little less elasticity, and a U-shaped elastic member 41 is used.
0, the upper support member 3 is connected to the lower support member 2 at the lower and side surfaces, and the lower support member 2 is connected to the upper and side surfaces at the upper and side surfaces, respectively. If the main body 20 and the connecting member 4 are integrated, a golf tee that is less expensive can be provided.

Further, when the connecting member 4 is set in the hole 34 of the upper supporting member 3 and the hole 27 of the lower supporting member 2 facing each other when the upper supporting member 3 is placed on the lower supporting member 2, 4 is an upper support member 3 and a lower support member 2
Since the golf tee fits in the holes 34 and 27 in the inside, the volume of the golf tee is reduced, and the golf tee is compact, has a good appearance, and is easy to use.
