ABSTRACT:
The portable golfball teeing device consists of a portable case, the upper portion of which opens into a hopper to receive a bucket of golf balls. The apparatus within the case for separating and singularizing the golf balls consists of a platform at the bottom of the hopper having inclined surfaces leading to a funnel shaped opening in the platform, a rotatable cup located at the bottom of the funnel to receive the golf balls singly, and three blades which are suspended for movement through slits in the platofrm, the blades include an outer parallel pair which move in an arcuate path and a central blade which reciprocates in a vertical path. The blades are interconnected with the cup and move in response to movement of the cup. The cup is rotated by a linear gear, meshing with gear teeth on the cup, which is actuated by a foot pedal that is connected to the gear by a wire. In operation, pressure on the foot pedal rotates the cup to release a ball from the cup down a guide connected to the cup to a tee. As the cup moves the blades also move guiding balls into single file over the platform surface into the funnel and then, the cup.
