POSITION MARKER FOR GOLF BALLS.
Application filed September 25, 1928. Serial No. 308,188.
This invention relates to an improvement 1n position-markers for golf balls. In playing golf it often happens that one player 1s stymied by the ball of his opponent. In such cases it is customary for the opponent to move his ball so as to permit the other player to putt his ball to the hole without hitting the opponents ball. It is, of course, desirable that when the moved ball is replaced, it shall be to the same position from which it was lirst moved.
The object of this inventionis to provide a simple device which may be inserted into the green at the point where the ball is removed. It is necessary, however, that any device used shall be of such a character as not to retard or deflect the ball being played, and the'invention consists in the construction as hereinafter described and particularly recited in the claims.
In the accompanying drawings:
Fig. l is a side view of a position-marker for golf balls constructed in accordance with my invention Fig. 2 is a top view of the same;
Fig. 3 is a side view of the peg detached;
Fig. i is a face view of the saine:
Fig. 5 is a plan view of the flexible niarlier detached; Y
Fig. (S is a front view of a inodilied forni of peg for the positioli-marker;
Fig. 7 is a reverse view thereof; and' Fig. 8 is an edge view showing the peg in section.
In carrying ont my invention l employ a peg 1.0 formed from wood or other suitable material with a narrow vertical slet ll in its upper end into which may be inserte( and fixed a strip l2 of paper or light fabric.
`lWhen a ball is removed oneof these devices is inserted into the green at the restinM place of the ball and pressed into the ground so that its upper end is flush with or below the surface. The flexible strip' will then lie upon n the surface of the ground but will not obstruct or deflect a ball passing over it. 'F he strip of paper or fabricinay be printed with advertising matter and so adapted for this purpose, as well as performing its function as a position-marker for golf halls. Asifter the play, the device may be readily removed and used when the nextfoceasion requires, hut if left in the ground will not form au obstruction.
As shown in Figs. l, 2, 3 and of the drawings, the device is formed in the shape of a cone and may be made from wood or any other suitable material. y Instead of forn'iing the device conical, it maybe formed from sheet-metal, as shown in Figs. 6, 7 and 8 of the drawings, in which a strip of n'ietal of suitable width is doubled upon itself to ferm two plates 13 and 14, the edges of the plates being tapered and'one provided with a tongue l5 to pass through a slot 16 in the other .ineinber and be turned down to clamp the tiexible strip 12 in place. y
rlhese devices arc very small.y the drawings for the sake of illustration being made on a much enlarged scale.
I claim:
l. A position-marker for golf balls Consisting of a peg and a strip of tape-like material secured to the upper end thereof and projecting sul'istantially horizontally therefrom.
2. A position-niarker for golf balls consisting of a peg formed at its upper end with a vertically-arranged slot and asti-ip of llenible material secured therein.
3. A position-marker for geit balls consid*- ing of a conical peg termed with a vertical slot in its upper end and a strip of flexible material secured therein.
In testimony whereof, I have signed this specification.
MIN OTT A., DAVIS.
