Golf ball

Abstract

A golf ball aims to facilitate discerning of flying distance of a hitting golf ball for golfers. It has a solid ball inside, a reflective layer coated on the surface of the solid ball and a transparent layer formed on the reflective layer. When the golf ball is hit and flies, the layer structure of the reflective layer and transparent layer can reflect light projecting thereon so that the golf ball looks brighter, and the golfers can clearly see the flying distance and dropping location of the golf ball.

Description

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

FIG. 1 is a sectional view of a conventional golf ball.

FIG. 2 is a sectional view of the golf ball of the invention.

FIG. 3 is a sectional view of another embodiment of the transparent layer of the invention.

FIG. 4 is a fragmentary enlarged view according to FIG. 3.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Please refer to FIG. 2, a golf ball 10 according to the invention mainly includes a solid ball 20, a reflective layer 30 and a transparent layer 40. The reflective layer 30 is coated on the surface of the solid ball 20. The transparent layer 40 is formed on the surface of the reflective layer 30.

Referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, the transparent layer 40 may contain fluorescent powders 41. Hence during flying of the golf ball 10, light projection on the golf ball 10 can be reflected by the reflective layer 30 and the transparent layer 40 that contains the fluorescent powders 41 to make the golf ball 10 looking brighter.

The reflective layer 30 is a thin layer as shown in the drawings.

When in use, referring to FIG. 2, the golf ball 10 is hit and flies. Light projected onto the ball is reflected by the reflective layer 30 on the surface of the solid ball 20, and emits through the transparent layer 40. Thus the golf ball 10 looks brighter. The flying distance and dropping location of the golf ball 10 can be seen clearer by the golfers.

In short, the golf ball 10 of the invention provides the following main features:

1. When golfers strike the golf ball 10, the middle reflective layer 30 on the golf ball 10 performs light reflection. After the golf ball 10 is hit and flies, through the layer structure of the reflective layer 30 and transparent layer 40 formed on the surface 20 of the solid ball 20, light projecting thereon can be reflected to give the golfers clearer view of the flying distance and dropping location of the golf ball 10.

2. The reflective layer 30 and transparent layer 40 formed on the surface of the solid ball 20 give the entire golf ball 10 a brighter look and more appealing visual effect, thus increase the economic value of the golf ball 10.

Therefore the golf ball 10 of the invention provides new and desirable functions that are more appealing to golfers. The flying distance and dropping location of the golf ball 10 are more discernable to the golfers. It also has an excellent reflective effect, and can whet golfers' purchase desire.

Claims

1. A golf ball comprising a solid ball, a reflective layer coated on the surface of the solid ball and a transparent layer formed on the reflective layer.

2. The golf ball of claim 1, wherein the reflective layer is a thin film.

3. The golf ball of claim 1, wherein the transparent layer contains fluorescent powders.
