121 GOLF BALL TEEING DEVICE AND METHOD OF USE US14143621 2013-12-30 US20140357389A1 2014-12-04 Andrew J. Fischer
A golf ball teeing device and methods of use are described. Embodiments of the golf ball teeing device include a swing arm rotatably coupled to a base. The base can be included to secure the swing arm to a golf mat or the ground. In a general operation, a golf ball can be moved to a cradle of the swing arm using a golf club. The golf club can then be used to engage and rotate the swing arm. As the swing arm is rotated, the golf ball can follow a track to an aperture. After the swing arm has rotated approximately 120 degrees, the golf ball can exit the aperture and deposit onto a tee. In some embodiments, a biasing structure can be included to return the swing arm to a starting position.
122 Powerless automatic tee up machine US13389158 2010-08-03 US08485912B2 2013-07-16 Hyong Jun Kim
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.
