Golf ball support body

Abstract

A golf ball support body S adapted to be removably attached to a golf tee T having a leg T1 adapted to be inserted into the ground for standing by itself and a horizontally enlarged section T2 disposed above the leg T1, said golf ball support body S comprising a ball support section 10 in the upper end, a large-sized inner section 12 disposed below the ball support section 10 for receiving the horizontally enlarged section T2 of said golf tee T, a small-sized inner section 14 disposed below said large-sized inner section 12 for insertion-holding the lower portion of said golf tee T disposed below the horizontally enlarged section T2 so as to prevent downward separation of the golf tee T, and separation preventive inward projections 26 disposed in the upper portion of said large-sized inner section 12 for preventing upward separation of said golf tee T, and said golf ball support body S being able to be attached to the golf tee T in a state in which said lower portion of said golf tee T is held by the small-sized inner section 14 and in which said horizontally enlarged section T2 is received in said large-sized inner section 12 so that upward separation of said golf tee T is prevented by said separation preventive inward projections 26.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a golf ball support body removably attached to a leg body. [0003] 2. Description of the Prior Art [0004] Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open Hei No. 5-86370 discloses a golf tee comprising ball support section including a number of circularly arranged upward projections adapted to support a golf ball on the circularly arranged front ends thereof. This type of golf tee is made of synthetic resin as an integral body. Further, because of its form, its production cost is high as compared with a conventional golf tee of simple shape in which the upper end of its bar-like leg is diametrically enlarged to form a dish-like ball support section. Therefore, in the case of damage, the whole has to be exchanged, incurring a relatively high cost. [0005] On the other hand, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 402 discloses an exchangeable golf tee so designed that the upper end of its shaft-like le...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0006] The object of the present invention is to provide a golf ball support body easily removably mounted on the leg body of an existing tee or the like, and so designed that when a golf ball is supported thereon and hit, the ball support section is prevented from separating from the leg body.

Problems solved by technology

Further, because of its form, its production cost is high as compared with a conventional golf tee of simple shape in which the upper end of its bar-like leg is diametrically enlarged to form a dish-like ball support section.

Therefore, in the case of damage, the whole has to be exchanged, incurring a relatively high cost.

These golf tees can be used by exchanging the ball support sections; however, when a golf ball is supported thereon and hit, the ball support section is likely to be separated from the leg and lost.
