Golf marker and clip assembly

Abstract

A golf marker and clip assembly has a clip element with an upper section biasedly interconnected by an intermediate section to a lower section. A space is formed between the upper section and lower section to receive and be retained on a golf hat or visor. The upper section includes a pair of guide arms. The marker itself has an outer rim and a raised central section. When the marker is slid onto the clip element, along the top surface of the upper section, the guide arms are positioned over a portion of the outer rim of the golf marker, thus retaining the marker within the clip element.

1 . A golf marker and clip assembly comprising:
 a clip element having an upper section with top and bottom surfaces biasedly interconnected by an intermediate section to a lower section with top and bottom surfaces, a space being formed between the bottom surface of the upper section and the top surface of the lower section, and a guide section having a pair of guide arms being substantially parallel to and forming a slot over the top surface of the upper section; and   a golf marker comprising an outer rim and a raised central section, the marker, in a marker storage mode, being configured to be slidable over the top surface of the upper section and to be positioned on the top surface of the upper section with a portion of its outer rim located within the slot, the marker being secured therein solely by the guide arms, and, in a use mode, the marker being configured to be slid out of the slot and off the top surface of the upper section, thus completely separating the marker from the clip element.   
     
     
         2 . The golf marker and clip assembly as in  claim 1  wherein which the slot extends partially along the perimeter of the upper section of the clip element. 
     
     
         3 . The golf marker and clip assembly as in  claim 1  wherein the outer rim of the marker substantially circumscribes the perimeter of the marker. 
     
     
         4 . The golf marker and clip assembly as in  claim 1  wherein the guide section extends from the upper section of the clip element. 
     
     
         5 . The golf marker and clip assembly comprising:
 a clip element having an upper section biasedly interconnected by an intermediate section to a lower section, a space being formed between the upper section and the lower section, and a pair of guide arms being substantially parallel to and forming a slot over the upper section; and   a golf marker comprising an outer rim and a raised central section, the marker, in a marker storage mode, being configured to be slidable over the upper section and to be positioned on the upper section with a portion of its outer rim located within the slot, the marker being secured therein solely by the guide arms, and, in a use mode, the marker being configured to be slid out of the slot and off the upper section, thus completely separating the marker from the clip element.   
     
     
         6 . The golf marker and clip assembly as in  claim 5  wherein the outer rim of the marker substantially circumscribes the outer perimeter of the marker. 
     
     
         7 . The golf marker and clip assembly as in  claim 5  wherein the slot extends partially along the perimeter of the upper section of the clip element. 
     
     
         8 . The golf marker and clip assembly as in  claim 5  wherein the guide arms extend from the upper section of the clip element.
