AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention is a system for magnetically securing a golf ball marker to an article, such as a hat or garment, using magnets. The system includes a first clamping body, a second clamping body, a first magnet, a second magnet, and an intermediate material. The first clamping body and the second clamping body are positioned on either side of the intermediate material, with the first clamping body being external and the second clamping body being internal. The first magnet and second magnet are magnetically attracted to each other, pulling together the clamping bodies and resulting in them clamping against the intermediate material. The system allows for easy and secure attachment of golf ball markers to articles without damaging pins or needles.

Problems solved by technology

Though capable of holding the golf ball marker, these prior art have drawbacks.
While these prior art afford a user methods to attach ball markers, using the pin causes some damage to the article.
Other methods of attaching a golf ball marker exist, but many are not simple to operate or fall out of place.

Embodiment Construction

[0017]All illustrations of the drawings are for the purpose of describing selected versions of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0018]The present invention is a system for magnetically securing an item to an article, especially in the sport of golf. The magnetic properties of the present invention allows for an item to be secured to an article without the use of damaging pins, needles, and similar anchoring components. The present invention comprises a first clamping body 1, a second clamping body 2, a first magnet 3, a second magnet 4, and an intermediate material 5. The first clamping body 1 and the second clamping body 2 are positioned on either side of the intermediate material 5, with the first clamping body 1 being external with respect to the intermediate material 5 and the second clamping body 2 being internal with respect to the intermediate material 5. The first magnet 3 and second magnet 4 are magnetically attracted to...

Abstract

A golf ball mark holder is secured to an intermediate material by placing a first clamping body and a second clamping body on opposite sides of the material. A first magnet is connected to the first clamping body and a second clamping body is connected to the second clamping body, causing the clamping bodies to become magnetically attracted to each other and clamp down upon the intermediate material. The first clamping body is ferrous, allowing it to be magnetized by the first magnet. The first clamping body is then capable of securing the golf ball marker, as the golf ball marker is magnetically attracted to the first clamping body. Through use of the first clamping body and second clamping body the golf ball mark holder along with the users golf ball marker can be secured to any intermediate material without disrupting or altering the intermediate material.

Description

[0001]The current application claims a priority to the U.S. Provisional Patent application Ser. No. 61 / 845,058 filed on Jul. 11, 2013.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates generally to a system for using magnetism to secure a first clamping body and second clamping body to an intermediate material and for attaching a golf ball marker to the first clamping body.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Golf ball markers are one of many accessories commonly used in golf. Golf ball markers are used to indicate the most recent position of a golf ball, allowing the ball to be removed from the putting surface during play. Since it is desirable for said golf ball markers to be easily accessible to a user, there are a number of prior art that are provided for holding and carrying golf ball markers. These prior art primarily secure the golf ball marker by installing a corresponding magnet in a hat or by using a mechanical clip to secure the golf ball marker to a user's garments. T...
