' WARREN H. MCLEOIL'OF BOULDER, COLORADO GOLF TEE Application filed Mareh' s, 1929. ser1a1-N s4s,o12.
This invention relates to an improved type of golf tee and its more specific aspect contemplates the provision of a golf tee formed from a homogeneous earthy material in the L3 absence of a binder and so constructed as to be self-sustaining and capable of withstand ing handling in shipmentand the like but disintegrable upon impact as, for example,
when struck by a golf club in play.
A preferred form of golf tee is a hollow cylinder which may have one end placed upon the ground and the ball supported upon the oppositeend. When such hollow cylinder tees are formed from homogeneous earthy material so as to be disintegrable upon impact by a golf club in play, my eX- perience has demonstrated that the cylinders frequently become cracked and the tees mutilated in shipment and handling before they are used. I have found that ifthese cylindrical tees formed from'homogeneous earthy material so as to be disintegrable are compressed in such manner as to provide a transverse reinforcing web of the homogeneous earthy material, the cylindrical tees are preserved against cracking and mutilation in a very satisfactory manner. It is therefore, the specific purposeof the present invention to provide reinforced, cyllndrical golf tees formed from homogeneous earthy material. r a a .The invention will be better understood by reference to the accompanying drawmgs forming a part hereof,in which v Figure 1 is a side 'elevational View of a cylindrical tee of uniform diameter-; Fig.2 is a sectional view taken on the 22 of Figure 1;
line
Fig. 3 is a side elevational view of a modi-- 'fied form' of the invention, showing a golf tee formed from concentric'cylinders having different diameters; Fig. t'is a View showingthe modified tee of Figure, 3 in reverse position and v r view taken on the line 5 f Figure 3.
Referring to the drawings the golfte'e 1 is cylindrical in form andhas the smooth ends2 and 3. The cylinder is fornied by 50 compressing a homogeneous earthy material suitable mold. The mold is so'formed that operation, with a transverse core orweb 4:, i more particularly shown in Figure 2. The web 4 is, therefore, formed of the same homogeneous material as the walls of the cylinder and is also disintegrable. The web 4,however, functions as a reinforcing member for the walls of the cylinder 1 and guards against premature cracking andmutilationof the tee.
InFigures 3 to 5 a modified form of the invention is illustrated. In accordance with this modified form of tee, the golf tee A is formed from'the concentric cylindrical sections B and C, the diameter of the cylindri cal section B being less than the diameter of such, .for example, as a colloidal-clay, in -'a the cylindrical section C. By providingcylindrical sections of difierent diameters at the opposite ends of the golf tee A, it willbe apparent that'a golf ball diagrammatically shown at X, will be seated more deeply in the golf tee when the cylindrical section C of greatest diameter is used as the ball supporting surface. (as shown in Figure 4) than when the cylindrical section B which isless 7 diameter is employed as the ball supporting surface (asshown inFigure In this modified form of the invention as in the preferred form, the golf tee is so molded as to be provided with a transverse web D functioning to reinforce the walls of the tee.
' From. the foregoing it will' be apparent that the invention permits'the production of disintegrable cylindrical golf tees from therewith a relatively thin. 'disintegrable transverse reinforcing web. 2; A golf tee comprising hollow cylindri cal sections of different diameters, said sec titons being adapted tobe selectively used l as a ball supporting surface.
Havingthus described my invention, what 9 I "less diameter than the hollow cylindrical section at' the opposite end,- and atransverse. 15 Web extending across *the tee substantially V at the point of juncture ofsaidhollow cylindrical sections. i
