Benefits of technology

"The present invention is a unique golf tee design that has a separable ball seat portion, making it resistant to damage from golf swings. The tee is connected to a second tee using a string, which prevents the first tee from flying out and disappearing into the grass. The string also helps golfers visualize a line and improves their golf games. The ball seat is designed to withstand hitting and quickly return to its original shape. Compared to previous patents, the present invention has several advantages, including a three-piece construction, better string attachment, and a bevel angle that reduces resistance during impact and improves restoration. The tee is always located due to the string / second tee pulling mechanism."

Problems solved by technology

Although tees are relatively inexpensive and golfers usually carry a package of them in the golf bags, golfers sometimes run into problems when these one-time-use tees are used up in a game.

Embodiment Construction

[0024] Present invention uses the prevalent rubber or plastic material as the main ingredient for the production of the middle ring portion. These materials include, but are not limited to, PE, PVC, PU, etc., and help to enhance the durability of present invention. The technique of plastic / rubber injection to form the middle ring portion, as well as the making of said plastic / rubber, are commonly found practices and need no disclosure herein.

[0025]FIG. 1 shows a first tee 100, connected to a second tee 200, by a string 150. By using this pair of tees connect by a string 150, golfers will be able to locate the tee after striking the ball (sitting on top of the tee), because the tee being struck upon (whether it's tee 100 or tee 200, depending on the use), the other tee will pull back the “flying out” action of the tee being struck upon. The string 150 can be made of bright color and thus helping to locate the tee construction.

[0026]FIGS. 2a and 2b show the breakable / separable const...

Abstract

A durable golf tee construction to prevent the loss of or damage to golf tees, allowing golf players to play many rounds of golf using only one golf tee. The first tee of the duo-tee construction contains a wire connected to the base top and the separable ball seat, through a center hole in the middle ring portion, so that the whole structure becomes more durable and thus environmental friendly than other prior art disclosure's teaching.

Description

[0001] This application is a Continuation-In-Part (CIP) application, under 37 CFR 1.53(b), of a prior parent application Ser. No. 10 / 907,580, by the same inventors, to supplement the disclosure re the matter related to “Durable Golf Tee Construction”. Present CIP application claims priority of the filing date of Apr. 6, 2005 for the content already disclosed in the prior application, per the requirements of 35 U.S.C. § 120 and 37 C.F.R. 1.78.FIELD AND BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] The present invention relates generally to design and construction of durable and reusable golf tees. The main advantage of present invention helps to reduce the loss of or damages to the golf tee, and therefore, has great environmental value. [0003] Golf tees traditionally are simply a wood stick with a widened seat on top for the ball to be placed. Although tees are relatively inexpensive and golfers usually carry a package of them in the golf bags, golfers sometimes run into problems when these one...
