Abstract

Alignment device for golf exercises, which having the purpose of facilitating the player's body position with respect to the ground, with respect to the point of impact on the ball and with respect to the swing line, is characterized by being constituted by the combination of six flat pieces, which form elongated strips preferably made of plastic material or other similar rigid or semi-rigid material and which together are capable of configuring an "H" in which two such parts, telescopically coupled to allow variation, participate as a central branch. At will the effective length of said branch, while in each of the other two branches two pieces participate, joined articulately to the central branch.

Description

Alignment device for exercises Golf.

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a device which has been specially conceived as an alignment means in ball throwing maneuvers, in learning exercises of golf.

The object of the invention is to facilitate control of the player's body posture during the exercise, without Need for professional participation.

Background of the invention

As is known when making a launch and among other parameters that are not relevant, such as impact intensity, the stick used, etc., the situation of the player's feet on the ground, his distancing from the point of impact on the ball and the swing line, that is the path that the free tip of the stick in its impact on the ball.

To date these parameters come determined by the monitor that teaches beginners, what It is a problem with a double aspect, on the one hand it is precise the presence of the monitor every time a launch, which is a very considerable waste of time and on the other hand there is a high risk of positional errors, for a not excessive skill of the instructor, by some instructions accelerated by having to serve several students, etc.

On the other hand and when the player practices alone, neither does he have the possibility to correct himself anymore that is almost impossible to pinpoint the position body that I had in a certain launch, to correct it in the next.

Description of the invention

The alignment device proposed by the invention solves the problem fully satisfactorily previously exposed, in the different aspects commented.

To do this and more specifically said device consists of six pieces, materialized in as many laminar strips of plastic or other material material that provides the device with adequate structural rigidity and resistance against environmental agents, said pieces destined to constitute a kind of "H" whose branch transversal is determined by two of them, movable telescopically one with respect to the other to be able to vary the effective length of said transverse branch, which is going to correspond to the distance between the player and the point of impact of the ball, jointly joining each of the ends of this telescopic transverse branch to two other pieces, articulated, able to position themselves in the alignment of so that a couple of them will configure the line of positioning for the user's feet, while the other one It can be parallel to the first or adopt any inclination desired, you will determine the swing line through its ends free.

The articulated character of these four pieces lateral, corresponding to the two lateral branches of the "H", allows all of them to fold over the middle branch or central and that the latter is shortened in turn, to reduce drastically the volumetric occupation of the device in situation inoperative of it.

Description of the drawings

To complement the description that is being performing and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, according to a preferred example of practical realization of it, is accompanied as part member of that description, a set of drawings where with illustrative and non-limiting nature, what has been represented next:

Figure 1.- Shows a representation schematic perspective of an alignment device for Golf exercises performed according to the purpose of the present invention

Figure 2.- Shows a plan view, in side elevation and in profile of one of the pieces that participate in the device of the previous figure, specifically in any one of the two intermediate or central pieces.

Figure 3.- Shows a plan view and in side elevation of another part that participates in the device, specifically one of those that do it in each of Its lateral branches.

Figure 4.- Shows, according to a representation similar to figure 3, the complementary piece of the latter in each of said lateral branches.

Figure 5.- Shows, according to a representation schematic plan of an example of practical use of device.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

In view of the figures outlined you can be observed as the alignment device that the invention proposes it is constituted from two central parts (1 - 1 '), identical to each other, which constitute respective flat strips and elongated, with one of its ends (2) semicircularly rounded and provided with a small hole (3) located substantially in the center of curvature of said end (2), while in the opposite end incorporates a kind of bridge (4) determining a slot (5) of suitably suitable dimensions to allow the pitch adjusted through the other piece (1 - 1 ') that complements the intermediate branch of the "H" constituted by the device.

The hole (3) of each of these pieces is faced a similar hole (6) of another participant piece (7) of the device, materialized in a flat and elongated strip, in this case with both ends (8) (8 ') rounded semi-circumferentially, complemented to each of these pieces (7) with a piece (9) similar to it, of the same width and length, with its ends also rounded, but instead of incorporating a hole (6) in one of the end straps, incorporates a kind of harpoon (10) capable of engaging in holes (3) and (6) of the aforementioned pieces, constituting a pivot axis for them.

In this way and as seen in Figure 5, a pair of pieces (7) and (9) constituting one of the branches sides of the "H" may constitute the placement line for the player's feet, the effective length of the pieces (1 - 1 '), and as a whole, may be varied at will to establish the distancing with respect to said line of location of the feet of the point (11) of impact on the ball, which will remain like this duly distanced from the player, and the other pair of pieces laterals (7 '), (9') will be aligned in turn, in disposition of parallelism or obliqueness with respect to the line (7 - 9), defining the trajectory or swing line.

In an operating situation and as mentioned previously, the transverse branch (1 - 1 ') can be shortened conveniently by telescopic displacement between its two sectors, and the end pieces (7), (9), (7 '), (9') can fold down through the articulation pivots (10) on said central branch, getting an enlisted element, that is rectilinear, of minimum dimensions that can be easily stored and protected inside a tubular sheath also of very small dimensions.

Claims (3)

1. Alignment device for golf exercises, whose purpose is to facilitate the player's body position with respect to the ground, with respect to the point of impact on the ball and with respect to the swing line, is characterized by being constituted by the combination of six pieces, flat, that configure elongated strips preferably of plastic material or other similar rigid or semi-rigid material and that as a whole they are capable of configuring an "H" in which two such parts participate as a central branch, telescopically coupled to allow varying at will the effective length of said branch, while in each of the other two branches in turn two pieces participate, articulated jointly to the central branch. 2. Alignment device for golf exercises, according to claim one, characterized in that each of the two pieces participating in the central branch of the "H" has one of its semicircularly rounded ends, with a concentric hole with said curve, while in its other end incorporates a kind of semi-clamp bridge dimensionally suitable to allow the passage through it of the other piece of said middle branch, thus resulting in both pieces movable longitudinally with respect to each other. 3. Alignment device for golf exercises, according to previous claims, characterized in that one of the pieces that participates in each of the lateral branches of the "H" has both rounded ends and next to one of them a hole similar to that of the pieces previously mentioned, while the other one is similar to the first one but incorporates a harpoon replacing said end hole, which constitutes the linkage joint between both parts participating in the lateral branch of the "H", and simultaneously to the end corresponding to the middle branch of it.
