The disclosure relates to golf tee holders and more particularly pertains to a new golf tee holder for opening bottles and repairing divots.
The prior art relates to golf tee holders and includes a variety of golf tee holders having a brush configured for cleaning golf related accessories. Known prior art does not include a golf tee holder having a divot repairing tool and a bottle opener.
An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above by generally comprising a base plate having a pair of channels extending therethrough. Each of the channels is configured to receive a respective golf tee of a pair of golfing tees. A plurality of bristles is coupled to the base plate and is configured for facilitating cleaning golf related articles. A fastening member is coupled to the base plate and is configured for removably fastening to an object positioned proximate to a golfer. A divot repairing tool is coupled to the base plate. A bottle cap remover is coupled to the base plate and is configured to facilitate removing a cap from a bottle.
There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the disclosure in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are additional features of the disclosure that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.
The objects of the disclosure, along with the various features of novelty which characterize the disclosure, are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure.
The disclosure will be better understood and objects other than those set forth above will become apparent when consideration is given to the following detailed description thereof. Such description makes reference to the annexed drawings wherein:
With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to
As best illustrated in
A plurality of bristles 26 is coupled to the base plate 12 and is configured for facilitating cleaning golf related articles 28 such as a golf club, a golf tee, a golf ball, or any other golf related article 28. The plurality of bristles 26 extends outwardly from the first surface 14 and each of the bristles 26 is bendable. A material of each of the bristles 26 typically is plastic, hair, feather, or any other conventional bristle material.
A fastening member 30 is coupled to the base plate 12 and is configured for removably fastening to an object 32 positioned proximate to a golfer such as a golfing shoe, a golfing bag, or a golfing garment. The fastening member 30 comprises a clip 34 attached to and extending from the second surface 16. A top edge 36 of the clip 34 abuts the base plate 12 and the clip 34 extends therefrom towards a bottom edge 38, wherein the clip 34 is positioned prostrate relative to the second surface 16. The top edge 36 of the clip 34 is positioned proximate to the first edge 18 of the base plate 12, wherein the bottom edge 38 is positioned proximate to the second edge 20 of the base plate 12. The clip 34 is resiliently flexible and may be forcibly spaced from the second surface 16 to facilitate attaching the clip 34 to the object 32. A divot repairing tool 40 is coupled to the base plate 12. The divot repairing tool 40 comprises a pair of tines 42 being positioned on one of the lateral edges 22 and extending outwardly therefrom. An end of each of the tines 42 is pointed, wherein each of the tines 42 is configured to forcibly penetrate into grass on the golf course.
A bottle cap remover 44 is coupled to the base plate 12 and is configured to facilitate removing a cap 46 from a bottle 48. The bottle cap remover 44 comprises a first protrusion and a second protrusion each attached to the second edge 20. The first protrusion is configured for being positioned on a bottom side of the cap, wherein the first protrusion is defined as a lever 50. The second protrusion is configured for being positioned on a top side of the cap, wherein the second protrusion is defined as a fulcrum 52 to the lever 50 such that the lever 50 pivots about the fulcrum 52 when removing the cap 46 from the bottle 48. Alternatively, the clip 34 may have a cutout extending therethrough and forming the fulcrum 52 and the lever 50 to define the bottle cap remover 44 thereon.
In use, the clip 34 may be attached to the golf shoe of the user. Each of the channels 24 may receive a respective golf tee of the pair of golf tees. The plurality of bristles 26 may brush against golf related articles 28 to facilitate cleaning the golf related articles 28. The user may remove the cap 46 from the bottle 48 by engaging the bottle cap remover 44 with the cap and lifting the cap 46 from the bottle 48. The divot repairing tool 40 may be used to repair divots created in the grass by inserting the tines 42 within the grass and rotating the soil upwardly to level the divot with the grass.
With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure.
Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
