ABSTRACT:
There are disclosed a method and an apparatus for removing a cover from a golf ball. There is used a pair of geared rolls in an engaged manner, each geared roll comprising a cylindrical shaft on which teeth are axially formed and are circumferentially arranged at predetermined pitches. After the pair of geared rolls are rotated, the golf ball is placed on the upstream side of rotation of the geared rolls, so that part of the cover of the golf ball is bitten between the geared rolls. The cover bitten between the geared rolls is advanced by a rotational force of the geared rolls and is drawn out to the downstream side of rotation of the geared rolls. In this way, the core and cover of the golf ball are separated from each other. Accordingly, the cover can be mechanically removed from the golf ball with improved efficiency, so that the efficiency of work for recycling golf balls can be improved, and the amount of golf balls disposed as industrial waste can be reduced.
