Abstract

Support for golf ball, which is provided to allow to locate at the desired height the ball that is used at the exit of the game of golf, is characterized because it is constituted by a shank (1) of nailing on the ground, with a top head (3) for support and stable positioning of the ball, the lateral surface of the rod (1) having means (6) or (7) for the retention, at any point of its length, of a stop element (5) determinant of a means limiting the penetration of the rod (1) itself, in order that the head (3) of support of the ball is at a greater or lesser height with respect to the ground.

Description

Support for golf ball.

Object of the invention

The present invention, as expressed in the set forth in this specification, refers to a support for position the golf ball at the exit, being planned to allow the player to place the ball at the concrete height you want to achieve maximum effectiveness of the blow that perform.

It is therefore the object of the invention to provide the golf sports sector, and in particular the players of this sport, a support with features that allow at the exit the ball used in the game can be placed at greater or lower height from the ground, in order to receive the blow of exit in the situation in which the player considers as more optimal

Background of the invention

As is known, in golf the ball that has to be hit by the stick that the player handles, it places, in the exit blow, on a support that sticks in the ground, to slightly raise the ball from the surface and get a clean and effective hit with it. That support is called "tee" in the sector.

Well, regardless of the many types of supports or "tees" used, it is noteworthy that there is a specific type in which the ball can be placed at a greater or lesser height than the ground, to enable the player to place the ball in the position that it deems most suitable according to its striking characteristics, and try to achieve the greatest efficiency in that stroke of
exit.

In that sense, in the Spanish utility model  U200300772 describes a support consisting of three pieces, one of they nailed to the ground, another telescopically attachable on the previous one to serve as support to the ball and to be able to place this one to greater or lesser height, and another consisting of an axial rod that relate the previous two and determine the means that enable keep the support piece at a greater or lesser height than the nailing piece

Said support has the disadvantage of being  constituted in a complex way, since there are three pieces that must engage in a certain way, the question being also doubtful efficiency with regard to the correct and desired maintenance of the position of the piece that acts as a support, that is, the one Telescopically engages the nailing piece.

Description of the invention

The support of the invention, also provided to allow placing the golf ball at a greater or lesser height, It has the peculiarity of being materialized in a simple way, solving the problems of complexity and doubtful efficiency and functionality offered by the support described in the section previous.

On the other hand, the support of the invention allows to be located at the desired height, with precision, efficiency and safe maintenance in that position.

In this regard, the support of the invention will be constitutes by means of a rod of nailed in the ground, whose end upper forms a stable support head for the ball, head which has a slight concavity in its upper part for seating of the ball and corresponding stable maintenance of it.

Said spike rod and ball holder, It is complemented by an element in penetration stop functions of the stem on the ground, whose element is materialized by a kind of sliding ring along the stem and that can stay locked anywhere in it to determine the rod penetration stop, so that the lock to greater or lesser height of the stopper element will determine a greater or less penetration of the stem pin, causing the head is at a greater or lesser height than the ground, which results in be able to place the ball at a greater or lesser height.

The referred stopper element can slide to along the stem by threading and being retained in the desired position, by itself, while in a variant embodiment, the sliding of the stopper element can be axially exceeding lateral projections of the stem, so that the fixation or lock in the desired position in this case it is done by pressing some buttons actuators of inner lugs set in the own stop element.

Brief description of the drawings

To complement the description that then it will be done and in order to help a better understanding of the features of the invention, accompanies the present descriptive memory a set of drawings based on the which innovations and advantages will be more easily understood of the support of the invention.

Figure 1.- Shows a side elevation view of the support with the stop element disposed thereon.

Figure 2.-Shows another elevation view, in this case with a slight inclination, of the support provided with projections laterals for retention of the stop element.

Figure 3.- Shows a side elevation view of the stop element with the buttons of the internal lugs in resting position

Figure 4.- Shows a view like the previous one, although in this case the buttons are pressed determining the operational position of the lugs.

Description of the preferred embodiment

In view of the commented figures, you can observe how the support of the invention is constituted by a rod 1 with an end 2 pointed or sharpened, for allow its nailed to the ground while the upper end and opposite 3 determines a head with a slight concavity 4 in its upper surface determining a seat for a ball of the used in the game of golf, so the support is planned to serve as a ball seat that is used at the exit of the golf game, so that it is elevated from the ground and It can be hit effectively.

Stem 1 presents the particularity of be complemented with a stop element 5 that is mounted on it with the power to move throughout it, and whose stop element is preferably constituted by a ring that can have any external geometric configuration, and that can be held at any point the length of the comment stem 1.

Specifically, the stem 1 will include a steak external thread 6 for threaded mounting of the aforementioned stop element 5, being able to position it at any height of the length of the rod 1 and constitute the maximum stop penetration of such a rod 1 into the ground and therefore get than the head 3 and with it the ball that supports the concavity 4 top of it, is located at that height from the ground to carry out the blow by the golf player.

Stem 1, instead of the commented thread 6, may be affected by a series of projections 7 along the length of the same and whose highlights can also be retained, in any of them, the commented stop element 5, withholding by pressing some external pushbuttons 8 acting on internal lugs that are the that will make stop with the projections 7 to carry out the retention and fixing the stop element 5 on the rod 1.

Claims (6)

1. Support for a golf ball, which being provided to allow the ball that is used at the exit of the golf game to be placed at the desired height, is characterized in that it is constituted by a rod (1) stuck in the ground, with an upper head (3) of support and stable positioning of the ball, presenting the lateral surface of the rod (1) means (6) or (7) for the retention, at any point of its length, of a stop element (5) determinant of a means limiting the penetration of the rod itself (1), in order that the head (3) of the ball is at a greater or lesser height with respect to the
ground. 2. Support for golf ball, according to claim 1, characterized in that the stop element (5) is movably mounted along the rod (1). 3.
