Abstract:
The present invention employs air pressure to suspend golf balls practice tees. A supply of golf balls is provided by a weather-resistant funnel connected to a pipe leading underground towards the fan. A sensor is used to determine if a golf ball is currently suspended in air and when to dispense a new ball.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an automatic golf ball supply device, being an automatic golf ball supply device which automatically supplies golf balls to a position where the golf balls will be hit with a golf club by the user, which comprises: a frame on the upper part of which is formed a golf ball withdrawal hole; an ascending and descending mount which ascends and descends by means of a motor, and on the upper surface of which is provided a tee member where a golf ball rests, and which is provided so as to ascend and descend freely in the withdrawal hole direction following a guide provided in the frame; and a golf ball conveying loader which conveys golf balls towards the tee member of the ascending and descending mount as the outer circumferential surface rotates and makes contact with the golf balls inside a golf-ball-waiting chamber in such a way as to be able to push each golf ball and to rest the same on the tee member. Consequently, there are advantages in that the height of the frame can be minimized and there are great savings on the weight, volume and installation space of the product, and in that it is possible to reduce the number of parts and hence increase productivity and economize on production costs, and to minimize loss of motive force and so maximize the force with which the golf balls are conveyed.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a portable and ergonomic instrument for storing golf balls and tees and for automatically positioning a tee in the ground at a predetermined height and a ball in balance thereon, by means of a movement of one hand on the part of the player in the standing position. Said instrument consists primarily of a main body (10) serving as a storage unit (12) for balls (Bn), a multi-purpose shuttle (20) and a retaining clamp (P). After setting the desired height of the ball on the thumbwheel (50), the alternating movement of the shuttle (20) from abutment to abutment, using the knob (21), first upward, then downward and finally upward, enables the result to be achieved. Any golfer who has difficulty bending down or squatting, and those who do not wish to bend down or squat, may be interested in owning such an instrument.
Abstract:
A ball supply device where a ball is automatically supplied to a designated position is provided. The ball supply device includes a mat unit having an inclined surface and a hole, where a ball provided along the inclined surface is positioned; a tee member lifted up and down along an axial line of the hole in the mat unit and moving the ball positioned in the hole to a tee shot position at a spot that is upwardly spaced from a plane of the mat unit; a loading unit located on a plane lower than the mat unit and moving the ball loaded thereon to the mat unit; and a feeding member positioned between the loading unit and the mat unit and providing balls, which are provided from the loading unit one by one, to the inclined surface of the mat unit by performing a swing motion within a range.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a powerless automatic tee up machine, which repeats the transporting of the golf balls onto a golf tee through potential energy, a cam curve, a principle of balancer and a link system without using power, and which has a maximally simplified structure to significantly reduce manufacturing costs as compared to conventional machines. For this purpose, the powerless automatic tee up machine of the present invention comprises a main body unit which receives a golf ball and feeds the gold ball through an outlet, an outlet block unit for opening/shutting the outlet, a rotating unit which determines the opening/shutting operation of the outlet block unit, and which rotates in accordance with the presence or absence of the golf ball, and a rotation control unit which controls the motion of the rotating unit in accordance with whether or not the golf ball has been transferred to a golf tee by the rotating unit, thereby enabling the repeated tee up of golf balls without using power and also increasing effectiveness in terms of manufacturing costs due to the simplified structure.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to an apparatus for correcting a head-up phenomenon during a golf swing, and more specifically to an apparatus for correcting a head-up phenomenon during a golf swing, which helps a golfer keep his or her eyes on the place where a golf ball to be struck is located, by making the ball ascend just before the impact only if the swing speed exceeds a pre-set value. According to the apparatus for correcting a head-up phenomenon especially during the golf tee-shot training, a golf ball either ascends above the ground or descends toward the ground from above just before the impact only if a down-swing is performed or only if the swing speed exceeds the pre-set value, such that the user may not suffer too much burden when swinging the golf ball placed on the tee. As such, during the golf tee-shot training the present invention is able to avoid the head-up phenomenon or correct the head-up habit by stopping the golfer from looking away from the place where a golf ball to be struck is located, by making the ball just before the impact only if the swing speed exceeds the pre-set value. In addition, even if the swing speed exceeds the pre-set value, the golf ball would not ascend or would descend from above just before the impact, such that the golfer can keep looking at the striking site till the last moment, thereby avoiding the head-up phenomenon and correcting the head-up habit.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to an automatic golf ball supply device for automatically supplying golf balls to a position where the user hits the golf ball using a golf club. A characterising feature of the present invention is that it comprises: a frame; an ascending and descending vertical carrier provided in such a way that it is free to ascend and descend; a motor; a first rod for performing a forwards rotation or backwards rotation movement; a second rod linked in movement to the other end of the first rod; a separating type of pressed-member which separates from the ascending and descending vertical carrier when the ascending and descending vertical carrier is ascending, and which collides with and is pressed by a pushing plate formed in the other side surface of the ascending and descending vertical carrier when the ascending and descending vertical carrier is descending; a rotational force transmission means for converting the pressing force of the pressed-member into a rotational force; and a golf ball guide member means for nudging the golf ball and settling it on a tee member of the ascending and descending vertical carrier when the vertical carrier has descended, by means of the rotational force transmission means. As a result, the present invention is advantageous in that it reduces production costs, lessens the incidence of malfunction, and can maintain a flexible performance in operation in diverse environments.
