| 166 | Golf teeing device | US635605 | 1996-04-22 | US5647805A | 1997-07-15 | Robert S. Tarbox, Jr. |
| A lightweight and portable system to place a golf ball onto a tee. The present invention comprises a housing which has a hopper bin defined in the upper region thereof. The hopper is designed to accommodate up to four dozen golf balls at a time so that a golfer may "drive" numerous times without having to stop often and reload the hopper. Preferably, the interior of the hopper bin is sloped to form a rough funnel shape such that the golf balls are distributed one-at-a-time into a trough which is coupled to the hopper. Internal of the housing is the apparatus by which the golf balls are distributed single file through a delivery tube to the specialized ball placement mechanism. The most significant features of the present invention is the specialized ball placement mechanism which permits a golfer to tee their ball prior to driving at varying heights and the lever mechanism which allows a golfer to rapidly dispense a practice ball without drastically altering his stance or changing his grip. In particular, at the distal end of the ball placement mechanism is a pivotally connected roughly crescent shaped ball receptacle. This ball receptacle cradles the golf ball in two curved prongs or fingers. | ||||||
| 167 | Sensor apparatus for activating a pneumatic circuit | US613456 | 1996-03-11 | US5643096A | 1997-07-01 | Richard D. Lowe |
| An apparatus is provided to detect the presence or absence of an object thereon in order to actuate a pneumatic circuit. In particular, the apparatus is directed to detecting the presence or absence of a golf ball on a tee of an automatic golf ball teeing apparatus. The sensing apparatus includes a plunger engaged with a tee on which the golf ball rests. The plunger has a groove formed therein. The groove of the plunger is operatively engaged with a lever of a valve of a pneumatic circuit to be actuated. The plunger rests on a spring such that when a golf ball is present, the spring is compressed and the groove and lever of the valve keep the valve in a closed position. When the object is absent, the spring forces the plunger, and thus the groove, into an operative position in which the lever of the valve causes the valve to vent air. When the valve vents air, the pneumatic circuit is actuated and automatic replacement of the object is initiated. | ||||||

The pivot linkage minimizes the height of the automatic golf ball teeing apparatus since the air cylinder is not located axially beneath the tee cylinder. | ||||||
| 178 | Golf practicing apparatus | US745933 | 1991-08-16 | US5133557A | 1992-07-28 | Akitoshi Sugimoto |
| The improved golf practicing apparatus has a vertical slider unit that comprises an outer tube, an intermediate tube and an inner tube that are slidably fitted over one another in that order in such a way that the hole in the floor surface can be completely closed with the top surface of the intermediate tube. The apparatus repeats automatically a cycle that consists of automatically supplying a golf ball onto the tee mounted on the inner tube, automatically raising the tee above the floor by a drive mechanism, lowering the tee after hitting the ball on it, placing the next ball on the tee and raising the tee again. The apparatus may be adapted to have the capability of adjusting the height of the tee after it is raised above the floor. It may also be adapted to tilt the floor by a desired angle of inclination. The fairly large hole that is formed in the area where balls are teed up in the prior art golf practicing apparatus is completely closed in the improved apparatus, so the hole is not at all obtrusive to the player who is about to hit the ball. The damage to the club and hands of the player which would otherwise occur if the hole where exposed can be effectively prevented by the improved apparatus. If the apparatus has capabilities for adjusting the height of the tee and the inclination of the floor, the player can practice hitting balls with various types of clubs including woods and irons under substantially the same condition as in an actual golf course. | ||||||
| 179 | Golf swing practice apparatus with automatic teeing device | US712586 | 1991-06-10 | US5131661A | 1992-07-21 | Morell L. Jorgensen |
| A frame has on its upper end a horizontal platform covered with a synthetic, turf-like material, and disposed to support at least one practice golfer thereon. A motor operates intermittently to supply golf balls from a hopper, which is located at one side of the platform, to a pivotal chute which feeds the balls one-by-one to the upper end of a tee, which is also reciprocated by the motor between a lowered position beneath the platform, at which time a golf ball is automatically positioned on its upper end, and an elevated position in which the tee raises the ball upwardly to a teed position through a delivery hole in a resilient, replaceable hitting surface on the platform. The portion of the platform containing the hitting surface can be pivoted upwardly when it becomes necessary to replace the hitting surface. A collapsible cage can be placed in front of the platform to catch golf balls driven therefrom, and to return the balls to the hopper. | ||||||
| 180 | Light responsive automatic golf tee | US626035 | 1990-12-12 | US5078401A | 1992-01-07 | Donald E. Fehrenbach; Allan Waeghe |
| An automatic golf tee, after a ball is hit from it, lowers into the ground and reappears with a new ball ready to be hit. The tee is powered by an electric motor driving a vertical screw shaft onto which the tee is threaded. The tee cannot rotate; hence rotating the screw raises and lowers the tee. New balls are gravity fed to the tee at its lowermost position from an inclined ramp. The height to which the tee will rise is easily changed by moving an adjustable microswitch which, triggered by the rising tee, shuts off the motor. To start the tee downward after the ball is hit off of it, the tee is made hollow and a light-sensitive CdS cell is placed at the bottom. Uncovering the top of the tee lets light in, triggering the CdS cell to start the tee downward to pick up another ball. When the tee passes the feed ramp, a new ball rolls onto the tee, shutting off the light and stopping the downward travel. | ||||||
