Environment-friendly golf ball

Abstract

An environment-friendly golf ball includes a core body, a bonding material, and a cover for enclosing the core body. The core body is made of a dissoluble material, which is mixed with the bonding material at a predetermined ratio, so as to make the dissoluble material become an aggregation of specific shape. The shaped structure is steamed and solidified, so as to eliminate the water in the structure. The cover is molded from a dissoluble molding and covering material. The whole structure is water dissoluble and becomes the food of marine life and would not cause pollution to environmental ecology when the golf ball falls into water and could not be collected.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to a structure made of a dissoluble material, and more particularly to an environment-friendly golf ball made of a dissoluble material.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]A golf ball in the early stage generally includes a solid rubber core, over which tough twisted rubber threads are tightly wound, and dimples are provided on an outer layer of the golf ball to reduce wind resistance, so that a rotating speed and flying orbit of the golf ball can be more easily and actively controlled. Later, golf ball cores made of different materials, such as softwood, lead, mercury, etc., have been developed. The various designs aim to make the golf ball hit farther and easier for control.[0003]There are many golf balls of prior art. For example, Taiwan Utility Model Publication No. M252453 discloses a golf ball having a solid ball core and a cover which comprises a first half s hemispheric cup and a second half hemispheric cup attached to th...

Benefits of technology

[0008]It is therefore a primary object of the present invention to provide an environment-friendly golf ball, which is made of a naturally degradable material instead of a rubber material.

Problems solved by technology

When the small and light golf balls are hit and fall into woods or water, it is not easy to locate and collect all the lost golf balls, and some of them might be left in the woods or water.

Since the golf balls are made of non-biodegradable material, they become a burden on the environment.

However, not all the golf balls having been hit out and lost can be found and collected, particularly when the golf balls are so small and light, and when the player is a green learner.

For the golf course on an ocean liner, the golf balls hit out and fallen into water might finally become part of the beach drift to spoil the sights at seashore, or even be swallowed by marine life to endanger and cause pollution to the ecological environment.
