specification.
My invention relates generally to exercisg ap aratus, and more particularly to a device (17 the use of which an as can be acquire indifferent strokes employed in the y practice on the links.
It is especially ada ted to enable ers to acquire the art of 'tting the ball Wlth, the
different clubs without the wasteof time required in following up the ball after'each stroke. Upon the open links the learner can,
make comparatively few strokes in a longafternoon of practice; while by the use of my invention, in which the ball is confined to certain limits, the strokes can be repeated in quick succession.
My invention will be readily understood from the following description, which is-to be t u This connectlon 18 shown as a stro read in connection with the accompanying drawings, which show one practical form in which such invention can be embodied.
Figure 1 is a side elevation of the entire a. paratus. Fig. 2 is an enlarged detail elevation of the connection between the clastic part of the'device and the-means for changing the radiusof action. "Fig. 3 is a plan view of part of Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a section of the ball sho a means for connecting it to the remain or of the apparatus. In any convenient place a stake or pin 1 formin a pivot, is ground nearly to its head. Encircling the stake 'ust above the ground is a loose in which pla I bolt 3, the ot erend of which is swiveled in a ring 4. An adjustable and flexible connection extends from ring 4 to a bail or clevis 6. cord 5 adjustable as to, length by having its ends tied at any point desired; but a. strap adjustable as to l h by an ordinary buckle can be substituted for the cord as will readily'understood. The cord or strap can be connected to the clevis 6 either directly or by means of the intermediate shown.
To the clevis 6 is secured anot er flex ible connection which is wholly or partially Esme ofgolf, in far less time'than is possibleshown as havingi its farther end upset over riven firmly into the 2 freely one end of the swivel be The one of which passes the clevis 6, and through the others similar clevis 9. For the full length of elastic webbing shown canbe substituted acord of elastic rubber as well as a length of non-elastic material contai an elastic section. For the elastic part b the connection, I have also used a heavy endless rubber band with ood' results. To the clevis 9 is connecte an eyebolt 10 which is embedded in the-ball 11, and is wide base '13, from which rises a short stan ard =14, the upper end of which is slightly cup-shaped to receive the ball without interfenng with the stroke. This tee is connected to some convenient art of the apparatus, such as the clevis 9, y a short cord 15, and can' be detachedif desired. When attached, it follows the motion of the rest of the apparatus, and forms a convenient attachment, especially when the. apparatus is used indoors. I V
In this apparatus the connection between t e stake and ball is adjusted to give the desired radius of action, a longer radius being used for the heavier strokes, such as the stroke. Theball is placed in proper position for the stroke to practiced as directl upon the und or upon a tee, It is t on struck with the proper club, causing it and the parts in connection with it, to make one or more'revolutime around the stake. Of course the stroke can be obtained in a short time. The elastic part of the flexible connection takes up the jar caused. by the stroke, relieves the connection of much of the strain which a non-elastic connection would permit, and thus dprolongs the life of the apparatus. ouble swivel joint, which permits all the parts to rotate upon their longitudinal axis? revents anzetwisti of the cord or of the e astic, and t with special reference to the all, permits some strokes such as the lofting stroke to be 110 same acilit of rotation,v
practiced, which could not be easily done without a free rotary mot on being allowed to the ball.
I do not limit myself to the precise construction and arrangement herein described and shown in the drawing.
What I claim is:
1. In an apparatus of the class described, a stake having an enlarged head, a ring loosely embracing the stake below the head, a bar 3 having a swivel connection with the ring, a ring 4 swiveled on the bar 3, a clevis 6, an ad'ustable and flexible connection between t e clevis '6 and ring 4, a piece of elastic webbing 7, leather loops secured to each. end thereof one of which is connected to the clevis 6, a clevis 9 connected to the other loop, a ball. and an eyebolt secured therein and connected with the clevis 9.
2. In an apparatus for golf ractice, the 20 combination w1th a stake, a be] and a flexible connection between them, of a ball-su port or tee adapted to be detachably secured to said connection.
In testimony whereof I have affixedm signature in resence of two witnesses the 22nd day of arch 1907.
