Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a tee structure for placing golf balls. Background Technology

[0002] Note that golf is a sport that is relatively gentle and allows people to enjoy the surrounding scenery and socialize while playing. As a result, golf involves repeatedly placing the ball, which is necessary for each hole.

[0003] The conventional way to place a golf ball is to first insert the tee into the soil, then place the ball on the tee before proceeding with the tee shot. However, golf tee spikes are specialized tools used to lift the golf ball a certain distance off the ground during the tee shot, reducing interference from the ground and grass and making the target clearer. Because every golfer's height, arm length, club grip, and swing posture are different, and factors such as the shape of the hitting surface also play a role, appropriately sized tee spikes will help the golfer achieve the optimal swing posture, hitting the center of the ball and generating maximum swing power.

[0004] Traditional golf tacks have a fixed, non-adjustable height, which cannot meet the user's needs for different tee heights. Therefore, it is necessary to carry multiple tacks of different heights, which is inconvenient and takes up a lot of space. To overcome these problems, existing adjustable-height golf tacks utilize a threaded structure on the tack. Adjusting the thread allows the tack shaft to be lengthened or shortened, thus achieving height adjustment, as seen in Japanese Patent No. JP200843720 A. Alternatively, height adjustment can be achieved using interlocking mechanisms such as grooves or snap-fit ​​designs, as seen in Taiwanese Patent No. TW201408351 A, Japanese Patent No. JP2009254815, and US Patent No. 9737773 B2, etc.

[0005] However, the aforementioned combination of upper and lower tee pins requires a stable connection, so both are made of high-strength materials. When the user hits the ball, the hard tee pins are easily broken after being struck by the club. Furthermore, after the player swings and hits the ball, the tee pins are also knocked away and bounce around, causing the player to have to search for the tee after hitting the ball, which is both time-consuming and affects the player's mood. Therefore, there is a need for further improvement in the design of the tee pin structure, which is an area that the industry is eager to improve. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the shortcomings of the existing technology, the main objective of this utility model is to provide a golf tee structure that, through improvements to the golf tee structure, can effectively rebound and release the impact force, allowing the down club to remain firmly fixed on the ground without being easily pulled up, thereby overcoming the difficulties in the existing technology.

[0007] To address the aforementioned objective, this utility model provides a golf tee structure comprising an upper and a lower tee. A telescopic structure allowing for relative sliding and height adjustment is provided between the upper and lower tee. A base is located at the top of the lower tee, with a groove for the upper tee to pass through and for sliding and limiting its position. The bottom of the lower tee has a barb that increases resistance when embedded in the soil. This design effectively releases the force of the club swing, ensuring the lower club remains firmly in place on the ground and is not easily pulled out, thus reducing the likelihood of the club being pulled out.

[0008] The telescopic structure refers to the track provided on the lower ball pin, which is located below the slot. The upper ball pin is provided with a guide groove that slides relative to the track, thereby allowing the upper and lower ball pins to be combined to form a golf tee and to adjust the height by relative displacement.

[0009] The upper ball nail is made of soft plastic, while the lower ball nail is made of hard plastic.

[0010] The base of the lower spike is shaped like a triangular arrow, which can be used by the batter for aiming.

[0011] The guide groove of the upper ball nail is provided with multiple locking blocks on the outside, which correspond to the insertion groove to form a height adjustment positioning function.

[0012] Each card has a height indicator. Attached Figure Description

[0031] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and in the form of embodiments. The accompanying drawings are for illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily the actual proportions and precise configurations of the present invention after implementation. Therefore, the scope of the present invention in actual implementation should not be limited by the proportions and configurations of the accompanying drawings.

[0032] Please see Figure 1 This is an exploded perspective view of the present invention, showing the improved golf tee structure. Its main features include an upper peg (1) made of soft plastic and a lower peg (2) made of hard plastic. In addition to the aforementioned features, please refer to the following: Figures 2-4 The diagram shows a three-dimensional assembly, cross-section, and height adjustment of a golf tee. The bottom peg (2) has a base (21) at its top. The base (21) has a groove (22) for the top peg (1) to pass through and be positioned. A track (23) is provided below the groove (22). The bottom of the bottom peg (2) has a barb (24). The top of the top peg (1) has a ball carrier (11) for placing a golf ball and a guide groove (12) that fits into the track (23) and can be moved relative to it.

[0033] Please refer again. Figures 1-7As shown, an upper ball nail (1) made of soft plastic and a lower ball nail (2) made of hard plastic are combined together. Utilizing the telescopic structure between them, the upper ball nail (1) is inserted into the slot (22) of the base (21), so that the guide groove (12) of the upper ball nail (1) and the track (23) below the slot (22) interlock, thus combining the upper ball nail (1) and the lower ball nail (2) into a ball seat, which can be adjusted in height by relative displacement. However, when the user adjusts the height, the upper ball nail (1), through the slot (22) design of the lower ball nail (2), can stably perform vertical displacement adjustment and positioning.

[0034] Please refer again. Figures 1-2 As shown, multiple locking blocks (13) are provided outside the guide groove (12) of the upper ball nail (1) to correspond to the insertion groove (22) and form a positioning function for height adjustment. Each locking block (13) has a height indicator (14). When the user adjusts the height, they can know the adjusted height position through the height indicator (14) and can use the locking block (13) to lock the position in place with the insertion groove (22). Figure 5 This indicates that the golf ball is placed at its lowest point on the tee [top peg]. Figure 6 This indicates that the golf ball is placed at its highest point on the tee [upper nail]. At the same time, when the upper nail (1) rises or falls relative to the lower nail (2) to adjust its height, the design of the track (23) and guide groove (12) allows the upper nail (1) to push away the soil adhering to the track (23) smoothly when it is pushed down, without causing any obstruction to the movement.

[0035] When the user inserts the ball seat into the ground, its rigid plastic lower ball nail (2) allows the user to insert it into the soil more easily and effortlessly. The barb (24) at the bottom of the lower ball nail (2) inserted into the soil will tilt when the upper ball nail (1) is impacted. At this time, the tilted lower ball nail (2) drives the barb (24) to hook into the soil. In this way, the lower barb (24) can increase resistance and reduce the probability of the ball seat being pulled out.

[0036] Furthermore, considering that the top nail (1) must withstand the impact force during impact, metal wire [not shown in the figure] is added to the soft plastic and injection molded. Therefore, the top nail (1) is made of soft plastic covered with metal wire, which has better impact resistance and rebound, and can increase the stability of holding the ball; Figure 7As shown, when the golf ball is placed on the tee (11) for the user to hit, the soft plastic-coated metal wire upper nail (1) can effectively release the force of the club swing, prevent the upper nail (1) from breaking, and absorb the impact force; at the same time, it can firmly fix the lower nail (2) to the ground and not be easily pulled up, effectively reducing the probability of the tee being pulled off the ground due to the impact.

[0037] In addition, the base (21) at the top of the bottom nail (2) can be in the shape of a triangular arrow, which can be used by the batter for aiming. The triangular arrow-shaped base (21) on the bottom nail (2) can be flush with the ground after the bottom nail (2) is inserted into the ground, which can effectively reduce the tilt of the bottom nail (2) and help stabilize the ball.

Their purpose is to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of this utility model and implement it accordingly. They should not be construed as limiting the patent scope of this utility model. That is, all equivalent changes or modifications made in accordance with the spirit disclosed in this utility model should still be covered within the patent scope of this utility model.
