Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a portable holder for tees and ball markers that is attached to the shoelaces of golf shoes. [Background technology]

[0002] At golf courses, players are required to carry small items such as tees, ball markers, and green forks, and typically store these items in their clothing pockets during play. However, if multiple tees, ball markers, green forks, spare balls, and other types of equipment are mixed together in one or more pockets, it can be difficult to quickly find the necessary equipment, which can cause delays in play. Furthermore, used tees, ball markers, and green forks can become soiled and dirty, making storing them in pockets unsanitary. To address these issues, various portable holders are commercially available, and these holders are designed to be attached to the player's clothing with a clip or to be fastened to a belt or shoelaces (Patent Documents 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5).

[0003] In recent years, the number of golf players using distance measuring devices has been increasing, and these devices are often stored in dedicated holders and attached to belts or around the waist. Therefore, carrying a variety of equipment, such as tees, ball markers, green forks, spare balls, and distance measuring devices, in pockets or individual holders attached to clothing or belts can be heavy, bulky, and inconvenient, creating a significant burden during extended play. This can be particularly problematic when walking, running, practicing swings, hitting balls, etc., as the hanging holders dangle against the feet or waist, causing distractions. Patent documents 1, 2 and 3 disclose portable golf equipment holders that have a function for storing golf accessories and can be attached to the shoelaces of golf shoes, but the materials used for the main body are synthetic rubber, synthetic leather, animal leather, etc., and none of them disclose a configuration that focuses on reducing the weight of the main body. Patent documents 4 and 5 disclose portable golf equipment holders that have a function for storing golf accessories, with particular emphasis on storing golf ball wipes. However, Patent document 4 uses highly absorbent fabric and waterproof / water-repellent fabric for the main body, while Patent document 5 does not disclose details of the materials used for the main body, and neither discloses any configuration for reducing the weight of the main body.

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Utility Model Application Publication No. 6-9670 [Patent Document 2] Utility Model Registration No. 3177708 [Patent Document 3] Patent No. 5319963 [Patent Document 4] Utility Model Registration No. 3133551 [Patent Document 5] Patent Publication No. 2023-15958 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] This invention was made in consideration of the problems with storing golf accessories in the past. The purpose of this invention is to provide a portable holder that is lightweight, allows golf tees and resin ball markers to be easily stored and removed without interfering with play, and prevents the tees from falling out due to vibrations and shocks during play. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is a holder for attaching to the laces of golf shoes, with an emphasis on reducing the weight of the main body. It is characterized by a base sheet made of polyethylene craft netting woven with acrylic yarn developed for scrubbing brushes, and a storage section on one side of the base sheet for a tee woven with the acrylic yarn and a resin ball marker, and further, two mounting holes for inserting the shoelaces are provided on the top surface of the base sheet in areas that do not interfere with the inserted tee.

[0007] In addition, this invention is characterized by the fact that the acrylic yarn or silicone rubber cord is placed in a wavy pattern inside the storage area for the tee and resin ball marker, and the tee is fixed in place by friction, thereby preventing the tee from falling off due to the vibration and impact applied to the shoes during play. Furthermore, the storage section for the tee and resin ball marker is constructed by weaving the acrylic yarn into the craft net, just like the base sheet, so that the resin ball marker can be inserted and fixed to the front due to friction with the acrylic yarn, making it possible to compactly store two pieces of equipment in one storage section to reduce weight. [Effects of the Invention]

[0008] The portable holder of this invention allows for easy access and storage of golf tees and plastic ball markers. It is lightweight and attaches to the shoelaces of golf shoes, so it does not interfere with play. It allows players to maintain their proper posture while using the tees and plastic ball markers, reducing the burden on players during long periods of play and preventing tees from falling out due to vibration or impact. The estimated weight of the portable holder of this invention, excluding the tees and plastic markers, is approximately 7g. Furthermore, the tee storage compartment is designed to conceal the tip of the inserted tee, preventing players from being injured by the tip of the tee in the event of a fall.

[0010] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings. Figure 1 is a front view of a portable holder 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention with a tee inserted. As shown in Figure 1, the base sheet 11 is sized to fit within the area of the instep of a golf shoe and is formed by weaving a moderately strong acrylic yarn developed for scrubbing brushes into a moderately flexible polyethylene craft net. One side of the base sheet 11 is provided with at least one storage compartment 12 for storing golf accessories including large and small tees 30, 31, and 32 and a resin ball marker 33. Furthermore, the base sheet 11 is provided with two attachment holes 13 on the top surface thereof, at locations that do not interfere with the inserted tees 30, 31, and 32, through which aluminum shoelaces 34 can be inserted. The storage section 12 for the tee and resin ball marker is formed by weaving acrylic yarn into a polyethylene craft net, similar to the base sheet 11, so that the resin ball marker 33 can be inserted and fixed in place on the front side by friction with the acrylic yarn, making it possible to store two pieces of equipment compactly in one storage section while reducing weight. In FIG. 1, large and small tees 30, 31, and 32 are inserted, but the number and positions are not limited to this.

[0011] FIG. 2 shows the interior configuration of the storage compartment 12 of the portable holder 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention with a tee inserted, and FIG. 3 shows a cross-section of the portable holder 10 of FIG. 2 cut along line AA with a resin ball marker also inserted. The storage compartment 12 for the tee and resin ball marker is attached to the front surface of the base sheet 11 and sewn with acrylic yarn along the outer edge of the storage compartment 12. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 2, fixing members 14, 15 made of silicone rubber or acrylic yarn are sewn in a wavy pattern to the inside of the storage compartment 12, securing the tee in place by friction and preventing it from falling off due to vibrations or shocks applied to the shoes during play. Furthermore, the tip of the inserted tee is concealed by the storage compartment 12, preventing players from being injured by the tip of the tee.

[0012] Figure 4 shows the back of the portable holder 10 with tees and resin ball markers inserted according to an embodiment of the present invention, and the tees 30, 31, 32 and resin ball markers 33 inserted into the storage section 12 do not pop out. 5 is a diagram showing the portable holder 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention in use. The portable holder 10 is attached to a golf shoe 35 by passing shoelaces 34 through two mounting holes 13 on the back of the base sheet 11 and tying them. The portable holder 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention can be attached to either a left or right golf shoe in the same way.

[0013] The above describes in detail the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments and can be modified in various ways within the scope of the objects and effects of the present invention.
