Description

Support for golf ball.

Object of the invention

It refers to a device that performs the function of support and positioner of a golf ball on a golf course, more specifically in the grass of the same when introduced by one of its ends in the ground that serves as the basis for this lawn.

State of the art

They exist in the market and therefore can various types of supports are considered as prior art for the first hit of golf balls, also known as "you tees." These supports have the main characteristic of be bodies that resemble a nail, of material usually biodegradable wood or plastic, or not, whose lower end is it digs into the grass, and whose upper end supports a ball with the sole purpose that the player can hit it with the lower end of the stick.

These devices have the disadvantage that, despite the player’s expertise, often the edge bottom of the stick hits the top of the device, with what which the address of the ball is altered, losing hitting accuracy.

Purpose of the invention

The purpose of the invention is to eliminate in the practice all the deviation in the trajectory in the golf balls when hit, designing a device or support that does not offer resistance to beating and that can be easily inserted into the pitch and lawn of a golf course with the help of a utensil or not.

Another purpose of the invention is to incorporate in the manufacture of said support means that facilitate the biodegradation thereof, so that it is not necessary to lawn caregivers extracting and collecting said dispositives.

Another purpose is to prevent the deterioration of the blades of lawnmowers, caused by the supports conventional rigid type balls, in case these are keep on the lawn during maintenance.

Another purpose is to design a support that contribute to the flowering and restoration of the grass of the field of Golf.

Description of the invention

The present invention presents a configuration as an inverted cone or funnel, open at the top, of so that the only vertex is the means for fixing it to the ground of game with a simple pressure, while for its superior zone a golf ball is placed, so that being the material of formation of the body of the support device paper, cardboard or similar, in said upper part it does not offer resistance to the passage of stick, allowing to absorb the impacts generated by hitting the stick of golf the ball getting avoid the deviation of the trajectory of said ball.

Alternatively, the golf ball holder of the invention is made of ecological cellulose type material and biodegradable or similar, so that it is not absolutely necessary remove said device from the pitch once used, and that it degrades and may also incorporate into said Composition of cellulose fertilizer compounds and / or seeds of the same nature of grass plants used in the field of game.

Optionally, the support for golf ball the invention incorporates a layer of paint or silkscreen covering the surface of the paper that forms the body of the support recommended.

Alternatively, another option of the invention is the manufacture of the same support but incorporating the type of seed appropriate to the specific playing field where will use such support.

Description of the figures

The features and advantages of the support of golf balls object of the present invention will be clearer in the detailed description of a preferred embodiment thereof. Other details and features will be revealed during the course of the description given below, in the one that shows by way of illustration but not limitation in example of the invention, with the help of the corresponding figures.

Follow below a list of different parts of the invention that are identified in the figures Previous with the help numbers: (10) golf ball holder according to prior art, (11) head of (10), (12) body of (10), (13) tip or lower end of (10), (14) cavity, (15) support for golf balls according to the invention, (16) upper edge, (17) body of (15), (18) tip of (15), (19) golf ball, (20) ground or pitch

Description of a preferred embodiment of the invention

In one of the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and as can be seen in figure 3, the golf ball holder (15) is formed by a conical body (17) empty inside, and whose upper edge (16) allows, such and as can be seen in figure 5, that a ball (19) rests on said edge (16).

The support (15) as can be seen, in the Figure 5, is inserted under pressure in the ground (20), being able to help, or not, to exert more pressure and dig deeper said support (15) by other similar supports (15) placed inside.

When the support (15) is manufactured with paper, cardboard or similar cellulose, mixtures or the like, an edge is achieved (16) that offers no resistance, so that when the ball (19) is place over the edge (16), and the player hits the end of the stick said ball (19) and touches the edge (16) of (15) absorbs the blow preventing a deviation in the trajectory of said ball (19).

Alternatively, the support (15) may incorporate into the base material or manufacture of the corresponding fertilizer compounds, to enrich the soil of game, so that when degraded they will serve as food for same.

Alternatively, another purpose is the incorporation into manufacturing base paste, support (15), seed identical or similar nature to the pitch of the pitch.

In another of the possible embodiments the support (15) being preferably conical, it will present a section transverse of its body (17) polygonal.

In another of the possible embodiments the support (15) being preferably paper or cardboard, it can be manufactured in plastic material that meets similar characteristics.

In another of the possible embodiments the support (15) may receive paint or silkscreen printing that does not modify its main features

Sufficiently described the present invention in correspondence with the attached figures, it is easy to understand that any detailed modification that it is deemed convenient, as long as the essence of the invention that is summarized in the following claims.
