[0005] According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the first aspect, the exercise surface is entirely adjustable in inclination.

[0006] The invention described in claim 3 is claim 1 or 2.
In, the practice surface can be partially changed into a concave or convex shape.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in the third aspect, the concave or convex shape moves in a plane.

[0008] The invention described in claim 5 is the invention according to claim 3 or 4.
In the above, the size of the concave or convex shape is changed.

According to a sixth aspect of the present invention, in any one of the first to fifth aspects, the driving means uses fluid pressure.

[0010] According to a seventh aspect of the present invention, in any one of the first to sixth aspects, a shower device is associated with the practice surface.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the illustrated embodiments. FIG. 1 shows a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in which 1 is a frame having a recess formed in a punching practice area, and the frame 1 is formed of a metal plate, resin, wood, or the like. At home, the yard may be dug and formed, or in the case of concrete, the frame 1 may be installed on the concrete as a frame. The frame 1 is rectangular when viewed from above, but may be round or polygonal.

Reference numeral 2 denotes a training surface, which corresponds to the upper surface of the artificial turf 3. The artificial turf 3 is stuck on a base 4 having a shape substantially corresponding to the frame 1, and the base 4 can be tilted back and forth through a central fulcrum shaft 5. Reference numeral 6 denotes a bracket attached to the bottom of the base 4, reference numeral 7 denotes a bearing standing from the side of the frame 1, and the bearing 7 stands from a mounting block 8 made of concrete or the like. The bearing 7 may be fixed to the frame 1.

Reference numeral 10 denotes a support cylinder that stands upright from the mounting block 8. A hydraulic cylinder 11, such as hydraulic, hydraulic, or pneumatic, is vertically inserted into and fixed to the support cylinder 10, and a rod 12 of the cylinder 11 is fixed. The roller at the tip is the long hole 1 of the base 4
3 is engaged.

The solid line in FIG. 1 shows the artificial turf 3 in a horizontal state. By operating the control box 15 embedded in the floor 14, the practice plane 2 can be moved forward and backward by a desired angle as shown by a virtual line. It can be tilted. Therefore, by sloping the practice surface 2, it is possible to practice as if it were a real battle.

The embodiment shown in FIG. 2 is a base 4 provided with an artificial turf 3 in which the training surface 2 is made uneven, and is also tiltable via a support shaft 5 in this embodiment. As shown in the figure, the cylinder 11 may be installed in the horizontal axis direction. It should be noted that the same applies to the following embodiments, but the artificial turf 3 can be replaced by a real turf.

The embodiment shown in FIG.
7 is inserted so that it can tilt freely, and is suitable for practice such as bunker shots.

The embodiment shown in FIG. 4 is a specific example of the artificial turf 3, in which grooves 19a... This groove 19a has a round groove shape to enhance durability.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 5, a plurality of hydraulic cylinders 21 such as hydraulic, hydraulic or pneumatic are arranged on a plane, and a circular umbrella-shaped receiving plate 23 is provided at the upper end of a rod 22 of the cylinders 21. In addition, these can be individually moved up and down. The virtual line indicates the artificial turf 3.

The embodiment shown in FIG. 6 shows another drive system, in which one or a plurality of roller shafts 26 in the orthogonal direction are projected from the inclined drive shaft 25, and the roller shaft 26 has a spherical shape. The rollers 27 are arranged rotatably. When the drive shaft 25 is rotated, the rollers 27... Rotate and move on the inclined surface to deform the artificial turf 3 unevenly.

In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the driving means is an air bag 29 which expands / contracts in a pneumatic manner, and these are appropriately inflated / contracted to form irregularities on the artificial turf 3 thereon. It is something that I put on. It should be noted that the practice can be stably performed if the airbag 29 is made as hard to deform as possible. Further, water can be used instead of air.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 9, the shower device 32 is installed so as to shower from above toward the artificial grass 3 of the training device. This was due to the fact that there was rain during the actual battle. In this case, it is possible to practice by wearing rain gear as in the actual battle. Further, as shown in the drawing, a fan 33 for generating wind may be installed.

[0022]

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 10, a large number of used golf balls 35 are put in a frame 1 and a horizontal shaft 37 which is driven to rotate horizontally by a motor 36 with respect to the balls 35. The driving roller 38 has a different spherical shape, and the artificial turf 3 is freely deformed up and down as the driving roller 38 is driven to rotate slowly.

As shown in FIG. 10, the peripheral edge of the artificial turf 3 may be pulled by means of a traction rubber 40 or the like. This can be applied to all of the above embodiments. Also,
The periphery of the artificial turf 3 may be fixed with an anchor. further,
In the embodiments of FIGS. 1 to 10, after being tilted, they are once locked in that state, but the tilting is free to continue. Further, in the above-described embodiment, the exercise apparatus is mainly configured to practice a shot, but an exercise apparatus that assumes a putt on a green may be similarly configured. Further, the artificial turf can be made rough so that it can be freely exchanged for a rough shot.

[0024]

Since the present invention is constructed as described above, it is possible to practice not only on a flat place but also on an inclined surface or a green surface such as a compound inclined surface, so that an effective practice can be made as a more realistic practice. Will be possible.
