UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
JAMES BRYDEN DE MUN, 0F WILKES-BARRE. PENNSYLVANIA.
GOLF-BALL TEE.
Application led October 31, 1923. Serial No. 671,918.
To all lwhom it may concern Be it known that I, JAMES B. DE Mr INa citizen of the United States, and a resident ot' Wilkes-Barre, in the county of Luzerne and State of Pennsylvania, have invented.`
. signed for supporting a golf ball in striking position. j
It is one of the primary objects of the invention to provide a new and improved golf ball tee which will support a golf ball in such a manner as to permit of the golf lall being struck therefrom with the club without injury to the tee.
It is a further object of the invention to provide a device which is of a portable na ture and which can be conveniently carried by the player for subsequent use. .Y
lt is a still further object of the invention lo provide a device of this character which is capable of adjustment as to height.
With the above and other objects in view, reference is had to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l is a view in elevation showing the manner of use of a golf ball tee constructed in accordance with the present invention;
Fig. 2 is a top plan view thereof. Referring more particularly to the drawings, the golf ball tee is formed, preferably, from a length of wire of a resilient nature, and one end of the wire, as shown at 5, is bout backwardly u on the body portion 7, as at (i, to provi e a piercing point, by means ol' which the devicemay be inserted into the ground of the tee of the golf course.
l`he body portion is then coiled to provide' a tapering helical sha e, the uppermost or last'convolution of which is the largest and is designated in the drawings by the reference numeral 9.
The reference character A designates a golf ball, and in use the golf ball is adapted to be supported upon the uppermost convolution 9 of the helical-shaped body portion 8, as shown in Fig. `1, it being understood that the lower portion comprising the backwardly bent end 5 and the body portion 7, is inserted into the ound to support the ball in elevated position with respect to the surface of the tee.
When the ball is struck with a club, the ball is free to pass from the tee, and owing to the helical nature 'of the upper body l portion of theA tee, the same will withstand shocks due to contact of the club with the tee without injury to the latter. F urtherfore, the distance to which the members 5 and 7 are inserted into the ground may be varied in order to vary the height at which the ball will be teed with respect to the surface of the ground in which the tee is positioned.
What is claimed is:
l. .A golf ball tee comprising a body portion having one of its ends bent backwardly upon itself to provide a piercing point, and
golf-ball supporting means formed on the opposite end of said body portion.
2. A golf ball tee comprising a body portion having one of its ends bent backwardly upon itself to provide a piercing point, golf-ball supporting means formed on the opposite end of said body portion, and a resilient section 'interposed between the golfball supporting means and the piercing point.
3. A golf ball support comprising a length of resilient wire havin one of its ends bent backwardly upon itse f to provide a piercing point, a plurality of convolutions` formed in the opposite end of said length of resilient wire, the uppermost of said convolutions serving as a golf-ball support.
4. A` golf ball tee comprising a length of resilient wire bent vbackwardly upon itself, at one end to provide a piercing point, the other end of said wire being formed with a plurality of convolutions, each of said convolutions being successively larger to the end of the length of wire, the largest of said convolutions forming a golf ball su ort.
