ABSTRACT:
A toy golf club (10) is disclosed comprising a handle (12), a hollow shaft (14), and a club head (16). The shaft (14) defines an internal ball magazine chamber (34) sized to receive and store multiple toy golf balls through an upper aperture (40). The balls are ejected one at a time through a lower aperture (42) that extends through a lower bevelled surface (45) at the heel portion of the head (16). Sequential ejection of the balls is controlled by a gate assembly (58) comprising a lower hood member (60) pivotally mounted to the bottom of the shaft (14) within the chamber (34); a linkage arm (62) connected at a lower end to the hood member (60) and extending within the shaft (14) to the handle (12); and a trigger member (64) that is attached to the upper end of the linkage arm (62) and projects through an opening (30) in the handle (12). Reciprocal upward and downward movement of the trigger member (64) pivots the hood member (60) between an open orientation wherein a ball can be ejected from the lower aperture (42) and a closed position in which the lower aperture ( 42 ) is obstructed.
