Golf Ball Scriber With Integrated Sealed Brush Device
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing golf ball scribing devices lack an integrated ink pen or brush device, leading to inconvenience and reduced service life due to easy ink drying and misplacement, resulting in decreased accuracy and stability during golf shots.
Innovation Solution
A golf ball scriber with a built-in brush device that includes a spring-sleeved scribing guide sleeve and a sealing cover to maintain ink moisture, extending the service life and enhancing accuracy by integrating the pen core with the scriber, allowing for precise line alignment on the golf ball.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a separate ink pen is used with the scribing device, then the scribing function is achieved, but the device complexity increases and the ink pen may be easily misplaced or dried up
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates the ink pen and scribing device into a single unified tool. The ink reservoir is incorporated directly into the scribing device body, and the writing tip is positioned within a scribing groove that guides it along the golf ball surface. This merging eliminates the need to carry separate ink pens, preventing misplacement and ink drying issues while reducing the overall number of components the user must manage.
2Duration of action of moving object
If the ink pen is not properly sealed, then the structure is simpler, but the ink dries up quickly and service lifetime decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs a nested sealing structure where the writing tip is housed within a scribing groove that acts as a protective enclosure. The ink reservoir is nested within the device body with sealing mechanisms at the interface. This nested arrangement provides effective sealing to prevent ink evaporation and drying, extending service lifetime while maintaining a compact and relatively simple overall structure.
3Reliability
If the scribing device lacks integration with ink pen, then the structure is simpler and manufacturing cost is lower, but the ink pen may be easily misplaced and service lifetime is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the ink delivery system with the scribing mechanism into a single integrated device. The ink reservoir, writing tip, and scribing groove are combined into one unit that cannot be easily separated or misplaced. This integration significantly improves reliability by ensuring the ink supply is always available when the scribing function is needed, eliminating the reliability issues associated with separate ink pens.
4Ease of manufacture
If the pen nib is not sealed, then the manufacturing is simpler, but the ink dries out and the brush device cannot maintain wetness
Solution Approach 1:
The writing tip is nested within the scribing groove structure, which provides a built-in sealing environment. The groove walls enclose the tip, creating a protected micro-environment that reduces ink evaporation. This nested sealing approach maintains pen nib wetness effectively while adding minimal manufacturing complexity, as the sealing is achieved through the existing structural geometry rather than additional complex sealing components.

AI summary
A golf ball scriber includes: a clip comprising a first clip body and a second clip body which are connected by a pivot shaft; a clamping groove surface disposed on an inner clamping surface of the clip; a sealed brush device; a first clip groove and a second clip groove symmetrically arranged on a respective outer wall of the first clip body and the second clip body; a scribing ruler disposed at a bottom surface of the first clip groove; a strip-shaped chamfered groove disposed on the scribing ruler away from the clamping groove surface; and a strip-shaped scribing groove disposed on the chamfered groove which corresponds to the clamping groove surface, wherein the scribing ruler, the chamfered groove, and the scribing groove share a central line, and the brush device is in sliding connection with the first clip groove disposed on the first clip body.
