Abstract

A durable golf tee construction to prevent the loss of or damage to golf tees, allowing golf players to play many rounds of golf using only one golf tee. The first tee of the duo-tee construction contains a wire connected to the base top and the separable ball seat, through a center hole in the middle ring portion, so that the whole structure becomes more durable and thus environmental friendly than other prior art disclosure's teaching.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A durable golf tee construction, comprising: 
 a. A first golf tee having a base, a middle ring portion, a separable ball seat connected to said base by a wire placed through the center of said middle ring portion, said wire further having a first end-clamp attached to a cave slot on top of said base and a second end-clamp wedged on top of a resilient means located inside said separable ball seat;    b. A second golf tee; and,    c. A string connecting said first and second tee.    
   
   
       2 . The golf tee of  claim 1 , wherein said resilient means inside said separable ball seat of the first golf tee is a spring located inside a coaxially hollowed out inner space to house said spring and said wire, so as to allow said spring to move slidably inside the coaxial hollowed space of said ball seat, so that said ball seat may be temporarily separated from said middle ring portion, but remain connected to said middle ring portion by said wire, and so that said spring, in its compressed state, will exert force on said ball seat to resume its original state of being connected and fitted to said middle ring portion and said base.  
   
   
       3 . The golf tee of  claim 2 , wherein said cave slot is made from the same integral metal work piece forming the base.  
   
   
       4 . The golf tee of  claim 3 , wherein said middle ring portion is made of plastic material by plastic injection means to pressingly match said first end-clamp tightly with said cave slot on top of said base.  
   
   
       5 . The golf tee of  claim 4 , wherein said middle ring portion has a protruding sized to fit the diameter of the hollowed out inner space of said ball seat so that the ball seat will be easily aligned with the middle ring portion and base after temporarily separated from said middle ring portion after being struck upon by golf clubs.  
   
   
       6 . The golf tee of  claim 5 , wherein said middle ring portion has a bevel angel made to the protruding top for easier insertion to the opening of said coaxial hollowed space of said ball seat, resulting in lesser friction between the breakaway ball seat and the middle ring portion.  
   
   
       7 . The golf tee of  claim 5 , wherein said middle ring portion has extended outer circumferential edge for easy human handling.  
   
   
       8 . A durable golf tee construction, comprising: 
 a base, a middle ring portion, a separable ball seat connected to said base by a wire placed through the center of said middle ring portion, said wire further having a first end-clamp attached to a cave slot on top of said base and a second end-clamp wedged on top of a resilient means located inside said separable ball seat;    
   
   
       9 . The golf tee of  claim 8 , wherein said resilient means inside said separable ball seat is a spring located inside a coaxially hollowed out inner space to house said spring and said wire, so as to allow said spring to move slidably inside the coaxial hollowed space of said ball seat, so that said ball seat may be temporarily separated from said middle ring portion, but remain connected to said middle ring portion by said wire, and so that said spring, in its compressed state, will exert force on said ball seat to resume its original state of being connected and fitted to said middle ring portion and said base.  
   
   
       10 . The golf tee of  claim 9 , wherein said cave slot is made from the same integral metal work piece forming the base.  
   
   
       11 . The golf tee of  claim 10 , wherein said middle ring portion is made of plastic or rubber material by injection means to pressingly match said first end-clamp tightly with said cave slot on top of said base.  
   
   
       12 . The golf tee of  claim 11 , wherein said middle ring portion has a protruding sized to fit the diameter of the hollowed out inner space of said ball seat so that the ball seat will be easily aligned with the middle ring portion and base after temporarily separated from said middle ring portion after being struck upon by golf clubs.  
   
   
       13 . The golf tee of  claim 12 , wherein said middle ring portion has a bevel angel made to the protruding top for easier insertion to the opening of said coaxial hollowed space of said ball seat, resulting in lesser friction between the breakaway ball seat and the middle ring portion.  
   
   
       14 . The golf tee of  claim 12 , wherein said middle ring portion has extended outer circumferential edge for easy human handling.
