Golh: the golf hybrid sport of golfrisbee

The golh sport is comprised of the golh club, golfrisbee disc and golfrisbee basket. Swiveling the golh club, the flying object such as golfrisbee disk is thrown to fly into the golfrisbee basket. The golfrisbee basket has the wind-bell-chain reverted umbrella structure to protect the golfrisbee from damage. The flying object has many types such as the golfball, golfrisbee disk, golfring, diskring, boomerang, polygon boomerang, multi-boomerang ring, multi-boomerang diskring, etc. Golh is the hybrid golf comprising the flying golfrisbee and the golf ball. Basedisc is the golfrisbee sport following the similar game rules of baseball. The core technologies are the swiveling club throwing technology, wind-bell-chain reverted-umbrella golfrisbee basket and the universal direction wing flying disk technology. The golh system comprises the golh club, golfrisbee, golfrisbee basket, portable hole, golh lubricant, golh cart, golh trolley, golh bag, golh swing trainer, and the manufacture processes to be an integrated system package.

BACKGROUND FIELD OF INVENTION

Golh sports are the sports for the 21 st century. The golher plays the golfrisbee on the golfrisbee course according to the golf rules. As shown inFIG. 1A,FIG. 2A,FIG. 2QandFIG. 2R, golhers swivel the golh club2to launch the golfrisbee disk1to fly into the golfrisbee basket18. The core technologies of golh sport are golfrisbee1, golh club2and golfrisbee basket18.

As shown inFIG. 1A, the golh is the hybrid golf sport constituted of golfrisbee1and golfball15. The golh sport is to swivel the golh club2to launch the golfrisbee1to fly and throw the golfball15. The golfrisbee1is thrown into the golfrisbee basket18with the golh club2. The flag18fis at the top of the golfrisbee basket18. The flag18fis not only to mark the destination and basket/hole number but also to be the indication of the wind direction and wind speed. The golh player needs to adjust the way to throw the golfrisbee to compensate the influence of the wind direction and wind speed. The golfball15is to be thrown to the hole then putt the ball151to roll into the hole or portable hole6with the golh club. The golh is the long drive of golf playing with the golfrisbee disk1and golfball15. The flying distance of the golfrisbee1is compatible with the conventional golf ball.

The golfrisbee1throwing process is more like the hand-throwing disk. It looks beautiful just like the ballet dancer spinning on the stage. Therefore, we refer the golfrisbee to be the ballet in the sky. The sports of golh, handisc, and basedisc, etc are the new sports derived from our inventions golfrisbee and golfball.

The golfrisbee has the soft-landing essential characteristic which makes it is safe to play golfrisbee in the park. Playing in the golh course, multiple groups of golhers can play at the same hole/basket without safety concern. Multiple groups of golhers share the golh course price. Golh does not need the tee-time. It increases the usage of the golh course. It is safe to play golfrisbee in the public park. The golh played in the park is the Park Golh. In the park, the city government pays the green fee and it is free to play the golh in the park. The park golh will make the golh popular. The course golh is Green Golf and the park golh is the Free Golf.

The golh club launches the golfrisbee just as the human hand throws the flying disk. The soft-landing is the essential characteristics of the flying disk. Therefore, there is no impact force applied to the flying disk in both the launching and landing process. The golh can play the long drive in the golh course during the darkness in the night. We may embed the LED light in the golfrisbee to have the long drive Night Golh/Black Golh and the long drive Snow Golh/White Golh in the field.

To differentiate from the conventional golf sports having no long driving activities, we mention the new golf having the long drive capability with golfrisbee to be the park golh, snow golh and night golh. However, to make the golfers and the golf courses to accept the golh sport, we need to provide the complete golh system package for the golh strategic market.

However, the night golh and the snow golh have the tough times and tough places to play. Therefore, we make the innovation in the golh system pack to meet the challenges of all the tough environments. We make the innovation in golh system technologies based on our invention of golfrisbee. The system pack includes the golh cart, swing trainer, etc. We integrate technologies and make the innovation in system integration to meet the technical challenges in park golh, night golh, ski golh and snow golh to promote the golh sports. Without the innovation of the sporting system integration, the golh sport will not be functional properly. Eventually, as the golhers population increases, the golh will be the dominant sport in the golf course.

BACKGROUND-DESCRIPTION OF PRIOR ART

The prior arts related to golh sport have two: one is golf and the other is disk golf. The golfers and the hand-throwing disk golfers are the potential customers for golh sport. The golh is compatible to golf. The long drive of flying disk is compatible to the long drive of golf ball. The disk golf is to throw the flying disk into the disk golf basket with the hand. Recently, the disk technology has made a lot of progress. They are the Innova disk and the Aerobie flying ring. They make the disk golf sport be possible.

The U.S. Pat. No. 4,568,297 of Innova disk has the flying range of 712 ft. It is a flying disk approved by the Professional Disc Golf Association (PDGA). At the bottom of the disk, the hand-thrown flying disk has the vertical sharp edge to grasp with hand. The sharp vertical straight edge introduces a lot of drag. Outside the vertical sharp edge is the triangular design of the supersonic airfoil. However, the hand-thrown flying disk is always operating in the subsonic speed range. It is not a correct design for the front edge. The triangle is tilt upward. It is not a correct design for the tail end, either. The speed of flying disk is much less than the sonic speed. For the subsonic airfoil design, it does not need the triangle. At the head, the sharp edge does not have the supersonic effect. At the tail, the vertical edge and the upward slope of the triangular design causes the separation of the airflow from the tail fin. It induces a lot of drag to the flying disk. Due to the vertical sharp-edge, the Innova Disk is thrown horizontally. Even worse, the sharp edge of triangular design causes the Innova disk to be unsafe for the park sport. Originally, the flying disk has the benefit to play in the park safely. However, the Innova disk destroyed the park sport benefit. The Innova disk is small and heavy with the sharp edge. The Innova disk is dangerous to the public. You cannot play the Innova disc in the public park. Just as the golf ball is forbidden to play in the park, the disk golf is forbidden to play in the park, too. The disk golf is no more a park sport. Just like the golf, the disk golf has to be played in the disk golf course.

The Guinness World Record set the Aerobic Pro Ring (U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,560,358 and 4,456,265) to be the world farthermost thrown object 1,333 feet. However, it is not the dome-shaped flying disk. It is a flying ring with a flat plate having ring shape. There are two reasons for the ring plate structure to be the farthermost thrown object. The first is the thin profile of the ring plate; the second is the long-range stability. The thin profile has the low drag force. The long-range stability is due to the side stability of the spoiler rim to keep the straight flight. However, the side stability causes the Aerobie Ring not to have the dogleg curving flying capability. The dogleg flying capability is very important in the disk golf course. To have the dogleg curving flying capability, the player needs to bend the fly ring. It is not easy to control the amount of bending to have the desired dogleg curving flying. Furthermore, the inclined edge of the spoiler rim induces the drag at both the front and end edges. It reduces the throwing distance. The thin plate has no proper protection. It easily hurts the other people. Therefore, the Aerobie fly ring uses the composite materials.

The Aerobie Superdisc is the flying disk version of the Aerobie Pro Ring. However, Aerobic Superdisc no longer keeps the thin profile of the ring structure. The Aerobic Superdisc has the inclined curved edge with the dotted surface to increase the friction for handholding. At the edge, it also has the spoiler rim for stable flight. The spoiler rim is more like the upright directional wing of the airplane or the damping board of the boat. However, it induces many other drawbacks. At the leading edge, the spoiler rim will induce the separation of the boundary layer on the top of the flying disk. At the tailing edge, the spoiler rim will induce the separation of the flow from the soft cushion tail fin. The throwing distance is small due to the separation of the flow

Golf is the national sport of US. It is the representative sport of the capitalism. The high-flying golf ball is dangerous that the golf is not allowed to be played in the park. In the private golf course, the golfers need to pay the green fee for the green grass. It causes the high operation cost of the golf course that golh is the rich people sport. However, it becomes the critics and hatred target of the poor people in the world. Before, we do not care. After 911, we must consider that it is time for us to change the style of the golf sport. After 911, all the Americans are confused why the other worlds hate us so much? Golf sport is the representative for the hatred and is attacked by the outside western and well-developed countries. To the eyes of the poor people, the golf is the rich people sport. One-round of 18-hole play cost at least $30.00, even more. It is the monthly living fee of the poor people. With the addition of the caddy fee, the poor people cannot imagine to join the golf sport in all his life. No wonder the golf represents the wealthy people sport to be the hatred for the poor people. Due to the hatred caused by envy, the golf is still rejected to be the sport of the Olympic sport even though it is so popular in US.

Why does the golf cost so much? The long drive of the golf ball causes all the problems. It causes the extreme low rate of the usage of the golf course. The low rate of usage of the golf course causes the high cost of golf sport. Why does the golf course have such a low rate of usage?

(i) The highflying golf ball is very dangerous that the golf cannot be played in the public park. It can only be played in the private golf course. Even in the private golf course, the highflying golf ball of the multiple groups of golfers will hit on each other and hurt each other. The golf cannot have multiple groups playing at the same time. For the safety reasons, golf has the Tee-Time regulation. At any time, only one group can play at one hole place of the golf course.
(ii) The long drive of golf cannot be played in the winter snow course. On the thick snow, there is no solid ground to place the tee. The golf ball has to be played on the snow directly. As the swiveling golf club hits the ball, the snow powders will sprays everywhere that you can not see where the golf ball flies. Even worse, as the highflying golf ball falls on the snow, the golf ball punches the snow pile and is buried in the snow. The golf ball disappears in the snow golf course. The golfer can never find the golf ball until the snow melts in the next spring. Therefore, there is no long drive in the snowy golf course. The golf course needs to shut down in the snowy winter season.
(iii) There is no night golf or after hour golf. During the golf club swing, the golf ball is hit by the golf club seriously. As the high flying golf ball falling and hitting on the solid ground, the impact is seriously, too. Even LED embedded in the golf ball will be destroyed in the hitting and impact processes. Therefore, there is no night golf or after hour golf.

There are the places and times which the golfers cannot play the long drive such as the park, snow course and the time in the night. The snow golf is popular in the snowy place. The night golf is popular in the desert place. In the desert, it is very hot in the day. So, the night golf becomes popular. Both snow golf and night golf are limited to putting. There is no highflying golf ball activity in the snow golf and night golf.

In 1893, the father of snow golf, Rudyard Kipling, started to putt the golf ball into the tin can. He introduced the snow golf putting of golf ball to roll on the small area snow-clean ground. The snow golf does not have the long-range highflying golf ball activities. The snow golf is no more the golf sport in the open field. It is only in-house activities.

In the winter season, the golf course is filled with snow. Without the LED and buzzer, the highflying golf ball falls on to the snow and buried under the snow. It is impossible to find the golf ball that the golf game cannot play in the snowy golf course in the winter season. However, the golfer cannot play the long drive in the night or in the snowy field with the LED and buzzer being embedded in the golf ball. As the golf club head hits on the golf ball, the LED, buzzer and battery embedded in the golf ball will crack. As the highflying golf ball hits on the solid ground, the LED, buzzer and battery will crack, too. Therefore, the snow golf only has the putting activity that the golf course has to be shut down in the winter. The golf courses lost a lot of money and the employee is laid off for 3 months to half year. The snowy golf course still needs to shut down and lay off their employee.

OBJECTS AND ADVANTAGES

The golh sport is composed of three core technologies of golh club, golfrisbee disk and the golfrisbee basket. The golh sport families of golh, snow golh, ski golh, night golh, park golh, disk golh and basedisc, etc are derived from the invention of the golh. We provide the complete system solution for the golh sport. Accordingly, the innovations of golh and golfrisbee we made are not only in the golf technology and flying disk technology but also in the way of sporting system integration. The system pack includes the golfrisbee, golh club, golfrisbee basket, portable hole base, static friction lubricant, swing trainer, self-lock golh bag, and golh cart, etc. Furthermore, the cost of golh is reduced with the integrated manufacturing process. Golh is the sport for the people. For the golh and basedisc sports, the golfrisbee completely changes the image about the golf with the golh core technology. It will save the American from the hatred and attacks of the terrorism. The golh, ski golh and basedisc, etc will be the first golf type sports to be the official Olympic Sports and Winter Olympic Sports.

One of the golh target accounts is the golf course. To approach the golf course, at the beginning, the golh market strategy is to take the market which the golfer cannot play the long drive with golf ball. Golh will save the golf course in the winter season. The Golh adopts the golfrisbee flying disk to solve the snow golh and night golh problems:

(1) For the long drive of golh, there is no hitting impact force during the launching of the golfrisbee. As the golfrisbee falls on the ground, the golfrisbee has the soft-landing characteristics. The golfrisbee has enough lift force to carry the miniature LED, buzzer and battery. So, the LED and buzzer can be installed on the golfrisbee. The light and sound will lead the golher to locate and find the golfrisbee in the dark or in the snow very quickly.
(2) The golfrisbee is mounted on the golfrisbee club to launch to fly. The golfrisbee club does not contact with the snow powder at all. Therefore, the golher can see where the golfrsibee flies and lands.
(3) Due to the soft-landing of the golfrisbee, the golfrisbee will land on the top of the snow. The golher can identify the golfrisbee in the snowfield easily.
(4) Due to the safety of golfrisbee, the golh course can be as compact as a small park. The paths of 18 baskets/holes can be folded as a net. The compact golh course can be located in the residential area, which is close to the golher customers. It is convenient and safe for the night golher.
(5) The golh can have the multiple groups to share the golf course at the same time. The multiple groups share the same tee-time or there is no need to reserve the tee-time anymore. Golh reduces the cost a lot and increases the income of the golf course. It is the new golf standard which can play the golh in the snowy golf course. With the golh sport, the golf course can continue operating in the winter season.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

As shown inFIG. 1A, golh is the hybrid golf sport made of flying golfrisbee1, golfball15and the rolling ball151. Golfrisbee is the sport to swivel club2to launch flying disk1to fly. Golfball is the sport to swivel club2to throw ball15. In golh sport, the long drive adopts the flying golfrisbee1or golfball15as shown inFIG. 1A; the putting adopts the basket18for disk1or the hole6for golf ball as shown inFIG. 1AandFIG. 7.

From the table of comparison, eventually the golh sport will be the dominant sport over the golf sport. Our goal is to have the golh sports to be the Olympic sports. However, the golf is still not an Olympic sport yet. It is due to the golf being the sport for the rich people. Due to safety reason, the golfers need to book for the tee-time to play. The percent of usage of the golf course is very low that the golfing fees are high. Golf becomes the sport for the rich people only. To change the situation, the golfrisbee is introduced to make the revolution in the golf sport of modern society. Now, the golfrisbee has made the breakthrough in golh technology. It will make the golh sport to be the sport for the people, not for the rich.

Some selected applications of the golh sports and games are illustrated inFIG. 1. The basedisc is the golfrisbee adopting the baseball game rule. Both basedisc and golh are the new sports based on the innovation of the golfrisbee. As shown inFIG. 1B, the basedisc is the conjugate sport of the baseball. Basedisc is to play golfrisbee according to the baseball game rules. As shown inFIG. 1B, the golfrisbee can be played as the baseball and is referred to be the basedisc. For the basedisc, the baseball is replaced with the golfrisbee disc. The sporting rules of basedisc are similar to the sporting rules of baseball. However, the pitcher in the baseball game is no longer needed in the basedisc game. In basedisc game, the attacker swivels the golh club to launch the disk to fly. The defenders catch the disk and pass the disk to touch the attacker. The rule is the same as the baseball. The flying disk for the golh and basedisc has innovations to fly long-range distance and is safe to operate. The attacker111swivels the golh club2attto launch the basedisc1attand runs. The defender222catches the basedisc1attthen swivels the golh club2defto launch the basedisc2defto block the attacker111. As shown inFIG. 1AandFIG. 1B, to play the basedisc or golh in the park, we need to have the portable base or portable-putting hole. As shown inFIG. 39, the golh system pack includes the universal portable putting base45for both the basedisc and park golh. The specially designed golfrisbee adopted in the basedisc sport is referred as basedisc. The basedisc1attand2deffly as fast as the baseball does. The basedisc is smaller and heavier than golfrisbee adopts in the golh sport. The basedisc is the golfrisbee type flying disc launched with the swivel of golh club.

FIG. 1Cshows the application of the golfrisbee on the match game of the date of boys and girls. The girl111wstands on the high tower111h. The boy222mwishes to be dated stands on the ground. As the girl111hfinds out the boy222mwho wishes to date, the girl111hthrows the golfrisbee1with the swivel of the golh club2. The boy222mcatches the golfrisbee1and he has the right to ask for the date of the girl111h. This is the match game with the golfrisbee.

FIG. 1Dshows the handisc sport which is derived from the golh technique. The handisc is the conjugate sport of the football. The handisc is to play the golfrisbee according to the football game rules. The gatekeeper333gcan use two hands to catch the golfrisbee. The gatekeeper333gcan use either hand or golh club2to pass the golfrisbee1to the player333. Each team player333or the enemy's player444has one golfrisbee hang on the golly club. As soon as the player333or player444received the passed golfrisbee with left hand, the player333or444can swivel the golh club to launch the golfrisbee disk to pass or attack the gate. As the golfrisbee is thrown out, the player takes time to mount the golfrisbee on the club again. As shown inFIG. 1D, the golhers333pass golfrisbee and attack the gate; the enemy's gater444gtries to catch the attacking disk1and misses it.

FIG. 1Eshows the golh sport can play as the arrow shooting gain. Swiveling the golh club, the golfball type arrow15aor the golfrisbee type arrow1ais shot at the target18a.

Based on the innovation of the golfrisbee, many sports are created accordingly such as golh, golfrisbee, golfball, basedisc, handisc, basketdisc, tennidisc, waterdisc, golh shooting, etc. A lot of new associations such as Golh Association, Golfrisbee Association, Basedisc Association, Handisc Association, Basketdisc Association, Waterdisc Association, and Golh Shooting Association, etc will come to exist. In the future, since the handisc and golfrisbee will be the popular sport for people, golh has the potential to be the Olympic sport. Therefore, the golh will be the first Olympic sports of golf type sports.

Golh can be played on the golf course. Golh is the golf hybrid of flying disk and rolling ball. In golf, the golf ball is hit with the swiveling golf club. In golh, the golfball is thrown with the swiveling golh club. There are the compatibilities among the golfrisbee, golfball and golf ball.FIG. 2shows the standard portable golfrisbee basket18wcpapproved by the PGFA (Professional GolFrisbee Association) to have the golf course converted to be the golh course. Instead of using hand-throwing disk as the disk golfer does, the golher swings the golh club2to launch the golfrisbee1to fly into the golfrisbee basket18. On the golh course, there are many golfrisbee baskets18. The golfrisbee basket18corresponds to the hole on the golf course. In golh sport, the golher launches the golfrisbee1to fly into the basket directly with the golh club2. For the course golh, there is no tee-time requirement for the golfrisbee. The golher can play golh on the course any time and any place.

This is a portable type golfrisbee basket18wcp. For the fixed type golfrisbee basket, there is no need for the stand184as shown inFIG. 2QandFIG. 2R. The flag18fgives golher the indications for the wind direction and the wind speed. As shown inFIG. 2A, in the golfrisbee sport, the golfrisbee1must be thrown by the golh club2to fly and fall into the basket182just as the ball rolls into the hole as the golf sport does. To absorb the impact of the golfrisbee1and increase the possibility of the golfrisbee1to fall into the basket18wcpfrom any direction, the basket18wcpadopts the wind-bell-chain181and the basket182having small diameter reverted umbrella structure.

To make the golfers and golf courses accept the golh sport, we promote the night golh and snow golh. The night golh and snow golh can have the long drive with the flying golfrisbee1and putting with golfrisbee1or the rolling golf ball151. The snow golh and night golh do not conflict with the existing golf sport activities. The snow golh and night golh can do the time-sharing with golf for the same golf course. So, the portable gollfrisbee basket18wcpis invented that the golh can time share with the golf of the conventional golf course. To make the putting of the golfrisbee1have the same difficulty as the putting of the golf ball does, the outside diameter of the bundle made of the wind-bell-chain181is small. However, the diameter becomes small, the golfrisbee is easily damaged. Therefore, the small cross section golfrisbee basket18wcphas the special design to reduce the impact force. The special design is the wind-bell-chain181. As the golfrisbee1hits on the wind-bell-chain181and/or falls in the reverted-umbrella basket182, the wind-bell-chain181and the reverted-umbrella basket182swivel and generate the music sound of wind chain. The kinetic energy of the flying golfrisbee1is converted to the acoustic vibrational energy of the wind chain181. The swivel movement of the wind-bell-chain181serves as the buffer to protect the golfrisbee1from damage.

The wind-bell-chain181has a long dimension. The putting art of golfrisbee1is the golher has to control the force correctly. If the force is too large, the golfrisbee will bounce back and fall outside the reverted umbrella basket182. As shown inFIG. 2B, the wind-bell-chain181is made of the multiple sections of wind-bell1810. To have the harmonics of music, the wind-bell tube1810has the different length. Furthermore, to have the different harmonic combination, for different string of the wind-bell-chain181, the different length wind-bells1810are aligned cyclically. As shown inFIG. 2GandFIG. 2H, the wind-bell-chains181are hanged around the supporting pole1801. To make the wind-bell chain generate the music sound, the wind-bell-chain must be hanged near vertically. The tube1810only can hit on the dangling pan1812. As the tube1810touches on dangling pan1812, the sound cannot be generated. Therefore, the swivel amount of the wind-bell-chain181is small. Therefore, as shown inFIG. 2J, there is a pan1830to limit the swivel of the wind-bell-chain181and the basket182. The conventional wind chain stands still and is hit outside to generate sound and the conventional bell moves and is hit inside to generate sound. As shown inFIG. 2KandFIG. 2L, the wind-bell-chain181has the hybrid characteristics of both the bell and the wind chain . . . The tube1801of wind-bell-chain180swivels on the link1811and hit by the pan1812from inside the tube1801as the bell does. The pan1812clamps on the string1815. The pan1812supports the fork1811. The linkage of fork1811passes through the holes1810nof the cylindrical tube1810. The fork1811has the hook1811mto hold the tube1801. As the cylindrical tube1810dangles and swivels on the fork1811, the bottom of the cylindrical tube1810hits on the pan1812and the music sound is generated. In the conventional bell and wind chain, the moving pan hits the walls of bell and wind chain. For the wind-bell-chain181, the moving wall of the cylindrical bell1810hits the pan1812. This operation is the reversed operation of the conventional bell and wind chain.

As shown inFIG. 21andFIG. 2J, the wind-bell-chain181is hanged beneath the hanging cap180. The string1814passes through the hole of hanger1813and the slot1803in the hanging cap180to hang up the wind-bell-chain181. To increase the swivel of the wind-bell-chain, the hanging cap180is supported on the universal joint type ball18010. To swivel only, the hanging cap180might be supported on one pinpoint. However, for the fixed golfrisbee basket, to keep the theft from stealing the wind-bell-chain181, we need to use the ball joint to lock the wind-bell-chain181to the supporting pole1801as shown inFIG. 2Q. As the wind-bell-chain181swivels, the hanging cap801rolls on the ball joint18010. There is a lot of space1800reserved for the free roll movement of the hanging cap180. With the free roll mechanism of the hanging cap180, the whole wind-bell-chain181can free to rotate as the conventional wind chain does.

The light180L is for the night golf. In the night, the light180L shines on the flag18f, the wind-bell chain181and the reverted umbrella182. With the lights180L, the golher can see the golh basket18wcpin the night and swivels the golh club2to launch the golfrisbee1to fly toward the golfrisbee basket18wcp.

The working principles of the wind-bell-chain181are different from the conventional wind chain.

For the conventional wind chain,

(1) it has only one section of tube; (2) the pan hits the outside of the tube to ring; (3) the pan moves to hit the tube; (4) each tube of wind chain swivels individually.

For the wind-bell-chain,

(1) each string has multiple sections of tube; (2) the pan hits the inside of the tube to ring; (3) the tube moves to hit the pan; (4) the whole wind-bell-chain swivels all together; (5) the still pan hits the inside of the tube of the swiveling wind-bell-chain as the bell does. Therefore, our invention is referred as the wind-bell-chain.

Without the free roll mechanism of the universal joint type ball18010of the cap180, the wind-bell-chain181and the foldable basket182cannot swing. The wind-bell-chain absorption capability of the impact energy will be reduced a lot. Both the golfrisbee basket182cpand the golfrisbee1will be damaged due to the hit impact of the golfrisbee1. Therefore, the free roll mechanism of the universal joint type ball18010is the core technology of the golfrisbee basket18wcp.

As shown inFIG. 2CandFIG. 2D, to be portable, the basket182is in the shape of the reverted umbrella. The L-shaped basket bone1821pivots on the string18212as the umbrella bone does. In the normal operation, the end18211leans against the wall of the basket ring18220. In the portable mode, the L-shaped basket bones1821rotate and concentrate to be a bundle of ribs just like the umbrella does.

As shown inFIG. 2A,FIG. 2G,FIG. 2H,FIG. 21andFIG. 2J, to be portable, the supporting pole1801, the lock screw1830and the stand pole1831can pass the hole of the basket support18220. The lock screw1830has the pan structure to hit the outside of tube1810as the conventional wind chain does. The lock screw1830is to limit the swing of the wind-bell-chain181. As the dangling wind-bell-chain181hits on the pan of the lock screw1830with the impact force and the wind-bell-chain181will bounce back to swing in the reverse direction. The dangling tubes1810will continue swinging in the original moving direction that the tube1810hits on the pan1812on the inside of the tube wall. This process is similar to the emergency brake of the car, all the passengers continue moving forward and hit by the blockages.

Therefore, there are three different hit mechanisms to generate the music sound of the wind-bell-chain181. The first hit mechanism is the flying golfrisbee1hit on the outside of tubes1810and the wind-bell-chain181begins to swing. The second hit mechanism is the pan of the lock screw1830hits on the outside of tubes1810of the swinging wind-bell-chain181. The third hit mechanism is the dangling tubes1810hit on the pans on the inside wall of the tubes1810during the swinging wind-bell-chain181hitting on the pan of the lock screw1830.

Since the tube1810swiveling only in one direction, as shown inFIG. 2H, the fork1811is aligned in the tangent direction of the circle. As shown inFIG. 2B, the upper hanger1813and the lower hanger1816keep the tubes of the wind-bell-chain in the correct direction. The upper hanger1813passes through the string1814inside the hanging cap180as shown inFIG. 2J; the lower hanger1816passes through the string18212as shown inFIG. 2C. The strings1814and18212are in circle shape.

As shown inFIG. 2EandFIG. 2F, the stand184of the portable wind-bell-chain golfrisbee basket18wcphas the similar structure of the basket182. The only difference is that the stand184has only three legs1841and the legs1841are much stronger than the rib1821of the basket182. The stand legs1841pivotally rotate on the string18432and bears against the cylindrical wall1843of the stand184.

As shown inFIG. 2M, the portable wind-bell-chain golfrisbee basket adopts the lock screw technology. There are a circular wedge187won the female screw187and a circular wedge slot188won the male screw. On the circular wedge187w, there are multiple cut187c. As the female screw187rotates in the engaging direction, the wedge slot188wsqueezes the wedge187wtoward the center of the screw187to lock the pole passing the screw. As shown inFIG. 20andFIG. 21, the wedge slot1831wsqueezes the wedge1830wto engage and lock the extension pole1801. As shown inFIG. 2PandFIG. 2E, the wedge slot1843wsqueezes the wedge1842wto engage and lock the stand pole1831.

Releasing the lock of the compact lock screw mechanisms, the reverted umbrella golfrisbee basket18wcpwith the wind-bell-chain is easily retracted to a portable size. As shown inFIG. 21,FIG. 2JandFIG. 2A, rotating the female screw1830in the disengaging direction, the lock of the supporting pole1801is released. The supporting pole1801can be slided into the stand pole1831. As shown inFIG. 2AandFIG. 2D, the ribs1821are retracted to a bundle as the umbrella does. As shown inFIG. 2E,FIG. 2FandFIG. 2A, rotating the female screw1842in the disengaging direction, the lock of the stand pole1831is released. As shown inFIG. 2AandFIG. 2F, the stand leg1841are rotated downward and retracted to a bundle as the umbrella does. Then the stand184can be slided upward inside the wind-bell-chain181. With the lock screw and the rotating ribs and stands, the golfrisbee basket is easy to collapse to small package to carry along.

As shown inFIG. 2Q, we can easily modify the portable wind-bell-chain golfrisbee basket18wcpto be the fixed golfrisbee basket18wcf. For the fixed golfrisbee basket18wcf, the stand184and the stand pole183are not needed. As shown inFIG. 2A,FIG. 2PandFIG. 2J, the support pole1801is longer. The support pole1801is modified with the addition of a pan as the lock screw1830does.

As shown inFIG. 2R, it is the alternative way and the simplest way to modify the portable wind-bell-chain golfrisbee basket18wcpto be the fixed golfrisbee basket18wcg. It is just to take away the stand184and buries the stand pole1831in the ground directly.

Comparing our invention of the wind-bell-chain reverted umbrella golfrisbee basket18wcpwith the conventional disk golf basket, the conventional disk golf basket is very bulky and heavy. Without the free roll mechanism of the universal joint type ball18010, the conventional disk golf basket is constituted of a large bundle of heavy steel chains. As the flying disk hit on the conventional disk golf basket, the impact will cause the damage of the disk. Therefore, the putting disk of the disk golf has thick rim to increase the contact area to reduce the damage of the disk. Our wind-bell-chain reverted umbrella golfrisbee basket is light and swiveling. It is light and foldable that it is easy to carry as the portable golfrisbee basket. The flying disk hits on the wind-bell-chain reverted umbrella golfrisbee basket, the flying disk will not have damage.

The large bundle of the steel chain of the conventional disk golf basket has no excitation as the putting of the golf ball. The thick rim of the putting disk reduces the performance of the flying disk's flying range a lot. With our wind-bell-chain invention, the section of the wind-bell-chain181is as small as the hole of the conventional golf sport does. The putting of golfrisbee disk is as exciting and challenging as the putting of the golf ball does. The golfrisbee1doesn't need to have the thick edge that the golfrisbee1doesn't lose the performance of flying range. The golher can have birdie, eagle or hole-in-one without the worry of the damage of the golfrisbee disk1.

FIG. 3is an elevation view of the mounting operations of the golfrisbee1and golfball15. As shown inFIG. 3A, the golfrisbee1is mounted on the head11of golh club2. Then the golfrisbee1is rotated 180 degrees to dangle on the head3of golh club2as shown inFIG. 3B. As shown inFIG. 3C, the golfball15is mounted on the head3of golh club2with the adaptor13. Then the golfball15is rotated 180 degrees to dangle on the head3of golh club2as shown inFIG. 3D.

FIG. 4is the top view of the swiveling operations of the golfrisbee1and the golfball15. As shown inFIG. 4A, the golh club2is swiveled back to be ready to throw the golfrisbee1. As shown inFIG. 4B, due to the eccentric force, the golfrisbee1rotates. As shown inFIG. 4C, the golfrisbee1takes off and flies in the sky. As shown inFIG. 4D, the golh club2is swiveled back to be ready to throw the golfball15. As shown inFIG. 4E, due to the eccentric force, the golfball15pivotally rotates on the golh head. As shown inFIG. 4F, the golfball is thrown into the sky.

FromFIG. 4toFIG. 6, the mechanics of the golh club operations are analyzed in details.FIG. 6Ais to illustrate the most important principle of the golh sport. The mounting golfrisbee position is the same as the launching golfrisbee position which is at the vertical straight extension line of the golh club.FIG. 5Ashows the golfrisbee1is mounted on the head of the golh club2at the extension of the vertical straight line of the golh club2.FIG. 5Bshows the golfrisbee2rotates 180 degrees and dangles on the head of golh club2.FIG. 5Cshows the golfrisbee rotates 180 degrees due to the eccentric force of the swiveling circle of golh club2. The golfrisbee launches to fly at the same position of the mounting golfrisbee1.

The Frisbee flying in the air to keep its flying direction and balance, it must rotate to have the gyroscopic force to maintain its flying stability. To make the flying disc to rotate during the swiveling of pole or arm, the pivotal rotation center must not be coincident with the center of the gravity of the flying disc. This is referred to be the eccentric of the flying disc. For example, Swiveling arm to launch the flying disc, the finger holding the disc at the rim and the wrist is the pivotal center. The center of gravity of the flying disc is the rotational center. The rotational center of disc is not coincident with the pivotal center—the wrist. Similarly, swiveling club to launch the flying disc, the screw13at the rim of the disc is the pivotal center. The center or center of gravity of the flying disc is the rotational center. The rotational center of disc is not coincident with the pivotal center. It is referred that the pivotal center is eccentric to the rotational center.

As shown inFIG. 5D, there are two indexes to measure the flying performance of the flying disc: the linear momentum of the flying disc and the angular momentum of the flying disc. To have the larger flying stability, the flying disc needs to convert the energy of swiveling club to be the rotational angular momentum of the flying disc to have the gyroscopic force to stabilize the flying directional control. To have the longer flying distance, the flying disc needs to convert the energy of swiveling club to be the linear momentum of the flying disc to have the larger linear momentum and the larger kinetic energy to fly the longer distance.

As shown inFIG. 5E, to convert the energy of swiveling club to be the rotational momentum of the flying disc, the flying disc must have the conversion mechanism to convert the swiveling club energy to be the rotational momentum of the flying disc. The converting mechanism is the eccentric alignment of the rotation axis103of the center of the gravity and the pivotal rotation axis13of the flying disc1on the club head. Here, we mention the center of the gravity103and the pivotal rotation axis13are not coincident to be eccentric, i.e., Rd is larger than zero. Furthermore, the larger the eccentricity Rd is, the better performance the flying disc is. The largest eccentricity Rd is the radius of the flying disc. So the pivotal axle13is at the rim of the flying disc. As shown inFIG. 5EandFIG. 5F, through the Eccentricity of the pivotal axis13and the rotational axis103, it converts the energy of swiveling pole to the momentum applying to flying disc. Converting to the angular momentum of flying disc, it builds up the gyrostatic force to stabilize the fly of flying disc.

As shown inFIG. 5GandFIG. 5H, the flying disc takes off from the club head with the maximum angular momentum and maximum linear momentum. The angular momentum M_ang of flying disc is proportional to the product of the product of (the radius of the flying disc rotation)×(the radius of the swing of the pole)×(the angular velocity of the swing of the pole of club)
M_angαRd×Rc×ωclub
where Rd is referred to be the eccentric distance. Rd is the distance between the pivotal center and the rotational center of flying disc. The maximum eccentric distance Rd of the flying disc is the radius of the R_disc. So the pivotal center of the flying disc is at the rim of the flying disc.
The maximum radius of the swing of the pole R_c is the length of the club R-club plus the arm length
Rc=R club+R arm

The linear momentum of flying disc is proportional to the product of the product of (the radius of the swing of the pole×the angular velocity of the swing of the pole of club)
Linear MomentumαR_c×ωclub

The rotational angular momentum of disc is proportional to the (V**2/Rc)=(Rcω**2); the linear momentum is proportional to the (Rcω). Both angular momentum and linear momentum of flying disc is proportional to the length of club pole R. The longer the club pole, the better the flying disc performance.

To improve the flying performance of flying disc, the swiveling pole must be better than the swiveling arm in performance. The performance must be proportional to the swiveling radius. For the swiveling arm, the swiveling radius is the arm length. For the swivel club, the swiveling radius is the sum of the arm length pulsing the club length. The larger the angular momentum and the linear momentum of the flying disc is, the longer distance the flying disc will fly. So, the throwing of the flying disc with the swing golf club has the much better performance than the throwing of the flying disc with the arm only. The longer the length the club is, the larger the linear momentum is, the larger the distance the flying disc will fly.

Furthermore, to disengage the flying disc from the club head, it must have the disengaging mechanism. The eccentric force is generated by the eccentric alignment of the rotational center103and pivotal center13. Having the conversion mechanism converting from the swivel of the club pole to the rotation of the disc, the detaching mechanism is based on the rotation of disc. ComparingFIG. 5EwithFIG. 5Gfor the flying disc1having the swiveling club2induced rotational capability the disengaging mechanism is the rotational directional lock and unlock mechanism13. As the flying disc pivotally rotates at the position having the maximum tangent velocity of swiveling club as shown inFIG. 5G, the engaging-disengaging mechanism will unlock and release the flying disc to fly. The eccentric alignment of the pivotal club head and the center of golfrisbee causes the rotation of the disc. The eccentricity converts the swivel of club to be the rotation of the disc. The automatic rotation of fly disc can change the directional relation between the flying disc1and the club2that the directional detach mechanism13can be implemented. The screw13serves as the directional engage/lock detach/release mechanism. So the eccentric alignment is the essential to both the rotation of disc and directional detachment mechanism.

As shown inFIG. 5G,FIG. 5HandFIG. 5I, having the directional unlock and detaching mechanism, as the flying disc1takes off at the optimum position with the maximum rotational momentum and linear momentum, the flying disc is in the plane being parallel to the swiveling club.

Why the golh club2throwing golfrisbee disk1has such superior ultra long range flying capability? For the other inventions, their poles usually have the moving mechanical part and the clamping force of the mechanical part causes the disk to have an unsmooth take-off. Their disk flying direction is in the radial direction of the swiveling circle or in line with the swiveling pole. Our golfrisbee disk1flying direction is in the tangent direction of the swiveling circle of the golh club2. Furthermore, their eccentric force of the pole swing doesn't generate the rotating momentum of the flying disk. Comparing with other designs, our invention has the following six important characteristics. The first characteristic is to use the eccentric force of the swivel of the golh club to build up the angular momentum of the flying disk. The golfrisbee disk rotates as it takes off from the golh club. The second characteristic is the flying direction of the golfrisbee is in the tangent line direction of the swiveling circle of the golh club. The third characteristic is the clamp-free of the screw mechanism that the golfrisbee is easily to smoothly take off. The fourth characteristic is there are no moving mechanic parts in the engaging and releasing of the golh head and golfrisbee. The fifth characteristic is the golfrisbee flying plane and rotating plane are in parallel to the golh club swiveling plane. The sixth characteristic is the golfrisbee flying plane and flying direction are in the plane of the golfrisbee disk plane. To be compatible with the superior ultra long range throwing capability, the golfrisbee disk must have the superior aerodynamic design of the rotating airfoil design. The superior launching way and the superior airfoil design of the golfrisbee design make the golh sport have the ultra-long flying distance and superior performances.

The golh is a sport comprising a swivel means of golh club2, a flying means of golfrisbee1and a hanging means of golfrisbee basket18wcp. The golfrisbee1is one kind of the flying object only. The golh club2can throw many different flying objects such as disk, ring, ball, boomerang, etc. The fitting screw is for flying object pivotally mounted on the club head of golh club2. The pivotal mount is eccentric to the center of the flying object. The flying object pivotally rotates due to the eccentric force induced by the swivel of club2. As shown inFIG. 3, the rotation of the flying object is in parallel to a plane of the swivel of the golh club. The fitting screw13is pivotally rotating on the club head34as the golh club2is swiveled with hands. The flying object with the fitting screw13is pivotally mounted on the club head34. The fitting screw13has frictionless lock-and-release with club head34. The flying object is launched to fly based on the directional relation between the club head34and fitting screw13. The club head34is located at the end portion of the pole and the flying object is mounted at the end of the club2. The flying object rotates due to the eccentric force of the swivel of club2that the fitting screw13pivotally rotates to a position to unlock the frictionless lock with the golh club head34. The flying object is released and launched to fly.

The fitting screw13and club head34not only serve as a pivotally rotation but also serve as a directional lock and release. Based on the rotational direction, the pivotal mount of the flying object is locked or released. With the directional lock-and-release mechanism being embedded between the club head34and the fitting screw13, swiveling the pole of golh club2, the flying object automatically rotates toward outside of the swiveling circle due to the eccentric force. For the directional lock-and-release mechanism, the automatic rotation of the flying object changes the directional relation with the club head34from lock to release. The head34releases the fitting screw13to launch the flying object to fly,

FIG. 6Ashows the dynamics of the swiveling golh club2at the launching point. At the launching position, the golfrisbee1has the tangential velocity V and the angular momentum M. Swiveling the golh club2, momentum and eccentric force transfer o the flying object. It rotates the flying object to a new direction to release the lock. With the momentum transfer, the flying object is driven to fly in a long distance with a swivel of the golh club2. The eccentric force causes the pivotal rotation and generates gyroscopic force to stabilize flying object's flying. The directional lock-and-release mechanism is made of fitting screw13and club head34. The pivotal rotation of the flying object causes the lock-and-release mechanism from lock to release.

FIG. 6illustrates the selection of the optimum launching point. As shown inFIG. 6B, if the golfrisbee1launches before it arriving the extension line of the club pole more than 5 degrees, it is too early to launch the golfrisbee1. As shown inFIG. 6C, if the golfrisbee launches within 5 degrees before it arrives the extension line of the golh club2, it is the optimum point to launch the golfrisbee1. As shown inFIG. 6D, if the golfrisbee launches after it arrives the extension line of club pole, it is too late to launch the golfrisbee1. There is a very narrow window of 5 degrees for the optimum operation to launch the golfrisbee disk. Swiveling the golh club to launch the golfrisbee disk at the optimum point which has only 5 degrees of optimum operational window, it is the art of the golh.

In the course golh, the golh is the hybrid sport constituted of the flying golfrisbee, flying golfball and rolling ball. The golh can also play in the park as the park golh. However, the park golh is limited to the flying golfrisbee and the rolling ball. Unless you are outside the plan grass area, you can use the flying disk to make the long drive to fly. If the golher putt with golfrisbee and the golfrisbee falls outside the golfrisbee basket in the Green area, then the golher has to putt the ball to roll into the hole, i.e. putting Green. In park golh, as the object flying in the sky, it is the flying disk. As the object rolling on the ground, it is the rolling ball. In the strong wind, the goher may use the golfball. To make the dogleg turn of the flying path, the goher may use the boomerang golfrisbee or boomerang. As shown inFIG. 1AandFIG. 7A, from long drive to putting, the golher changes the golfrisbee to golf ball. In golh, the golher does not need to change club. The same club can either launch the golfrisbee or putt the golfball. In the park golh, you cannot play the flying golfball or golf ball in the park. The golh can be played in the park as the flying disk being played in the park. However, you can fly disk in the park. Park golh is safe to play in the park and it is invented for the Olympic golf sport.

FIG. 7shows the swiveling golh club1to put the ball and golfrisbee to roll. The head of the golh club2is in the shape of the head of golf club. One side of the golh club head is to launch the flying objects to fly and the other side is to putt the ball151as conventional golf club does.FIG. 7Ashows the ball being putted with club2to roll into a universal portable hole6. In golf, from long drive to putting, the golfer changes from wood club to steel club. The golf ball does not change. In golh, from long drive to putting, the golher changes from golfrisbee to golf ball.FIG. 7Bshows the golfrisbee1seats on the universal portable hole and is putted with golh club2to roll into a portable hole6.

FIG. 8andFIG. 9show the basic golh set which includes the golfrisbee1, golfball15and golh club2. As shown inFIG. 8, it shows the basic set of the golh. The golh is the golf hybrid of flying disk and ball. The disk1in golh sport is referred as golfrisbee1. The ball in golh sport is referred as golfball15. The ball in the conventional golf sport is referred as golf ball. Both golfrisbee1and golfball15are derived from the same club-swiveling throw art. The golfrisbee1or golfball15is thrown into the sky with the golh club2swiveling. The golfrisbee has many kinds of different designs. As shown in theFIG. 23, it shows the helicopter type boomerang wing segment17. As shown inFIG. 25, it shows the UFO disk type design.

FIG. 8Bshows golfball15which uses the same launching mechanism as golfrisbee1does. The flying object is a golfball15. The golfball15comprises a ball151and an arrow stick152. The fitting screw13is mounted on one end of the stick152. The other end of the stick152is inserted in the ball151.

FIG. 8Cis the right-hand golh club2R;FIG. 8Dis the left-hand golh club2L. The weight23is to train the golher to develop the golh muscle. The slot231is to have the weight23to be mounted on the golh club. The fixed handle5is located at the end of the golh club. The sliding handle21is to have the natural slow-to-fast swing movement. The slot211is to have the sliding handle21to be mounted on the golh club.

As shown inFIG. 8EandFIG. 8F, the screw34is made of a pair of semi-circle teeth. There is an indented hole3hon the screw3to adapt the light means12as shown inFIG. 9B, etc. Since the golfrisbee sport adopts the screw mechanism to swivel and launch the golfrisbee to fly with the golh club, we need to protect the screw mechanism. As shown inFIG. 8E,FIG. 8FandFIG. 8G, the dust cover361sliding mounts on the golh head36to protect the screw3from the dust. As shown inFIG. 8FandFIG. 8G, mounting the dust cover361on the golh head36, then slides the dust cover361sideward to lock the dust cover361with club head36. The dust cover hooks361hengage with and are locked with the golh head hooks36has shown inFIG. 8E.

FIG. 9is the section view of the golfrisbee and the golh club. The golfrisbee is in the UFO shape with right-handed screw cap13R and left-handed screw cap13L. This is the basic model of the golfrisbee1. Due to the co-existence of the screw caps13R and13L, the weight of golfrisbee1is well balanced. The dust cover131is to protect the screw13R and13L from the dust. Due to the weight balance, it does not have the wobbling phenomena that the flying distance is much longer than the unbalanced flying disk.

Furthermore, the screw caps13R and13L are embedded in the body itself. Since the screw cap13R and13L are located at the rim. To embed the screw cap13R and13L in the body of the golfrisbee, the rim of the golfrisbee has the ring band1rbstructure as shown inFIG. 10DandFIG. 10H. The ring band1rbis generated from the universal directional wing as shown inFIG. 10. Since the golfrisbee is not thrown with hand, it is not necessary to have the edge for the hand holding and throwing. The golfrisbee is launched with the golh club; it does not need the hand holding vertical edge of flying disk. It has the smoothly curved design in the middle portion of the bottom of golfrisbee. It reduces the aerodynamic drag force that the golfrisbee can fly longer and further. The left-hand screw34L is fit in the left-hand cap13L; the right-hand-screw34R is fit in the right-hand cap13R. Except the left-hand screw34L, the structure and operation of the left-hand golh club2L are the same as the right-hand golh club2R.

The right-handed screw3R has the right-handed screw34R notched on its top end. The bottom of the right-handed screw stub3R is pivotally mounted in the club head36. The screw3R is locked with the locking screw35. For the fixed cap13R of one golfrisbee1, the rotation of launching screw3R is to adjust for the optimum launching position as shown inFIG. 6C. To launch the golfrisbee with golh club properly, the allowance of angle of the screw3R rotation is only 5 degrees.

The slotted skirt16is the overlap of the slotted flap1f3and the slotted slap1b1or the overlap of the slotted flap1b3and the slotted slap1f1of the universal directional wing as shown inFIG. 10GandFIG. 10H. The skirt16introduces the side stability without the loss of the dogleg fly capability. Furthermore, the slotted skirt16serves as the bumper to protect the people from being hit. The slotted skirt16has the bumper design to play safe in the park. The slotted skirt16made of the foam material has the slotted opening space between the golfrisbee main plane and the skirt16. The slotted skirt16of the golfrisbee1has the function of the long-range stability of the spoiler rim; however, the skirt does not have the drag caused by the spoiler rim as the Aerobie disk does. Theoretically, the farthest distance comes from throwing angle at 45 degrees. To throw 45 degrees, it is not necessary to throw the flying disk level. With the slotted skirt16, the golfrisbee can throw at high angle of attack to have the flying path of 45 degrees.

For the conventional flying disk, the handhold vertical edge of conventional flying disk generates a lot of drag at the large angle-of-attack. The golfrisbee1has no handhold vertical edge that it can launch at any angle-of-attack. With the aerodynamic smooth airfoil design, thin ring structure and launching with the golh club, the golfrisbee will be the new Guinness World Record to set Golfrisbee to be the manpower throwing Worlds farthest thrown object.

FIG. 9Bis the partial exposed cross-section of the golfball. The golfball15has one handle152with the screw1520to screw in the ball151. The ball151is similar to the conventional golf ball. A light and/or sound device12are installed in the middle of the female screw13R. Therefore, the male screw3R has a hole in the middle portion to adapt the light and/or sound device12.

The extension club locker22is optional. To adjust the length of golh club, the golh club has two segments. The locker22has the structure as shown inFIG. 2M. Releasing the extension club locker22, the lower segment2B is slidable in the upper segment2U. Locking the extension club locker22, the lower segment2B is locked in the upper segment2U. The length of golh club is adjusted to be the ideal club length of the golher.

The rotational motor70is optional. In the most popularly used basic golh club2, the rotational motor70does not need at all. The operation of the basic golh club completely relies on the swivel of club with hands. To use the rotational motor, the locking screw35is released to allow the screw34R to have the free rotation. The rotation motor index71is the stopping position of the rotational motor70for the optimum launch point as shown inFIG. 6C. The battery5embedded in the handle is to supply the power to the rotation motor70. The switch51is to turn on and turn off the rotation of the rotation motor70. There is turn-on process and turn-off process. For the turn-on process, the battery power is first on, and then the rotation motor7starts to rotate. For the turn-off process, the motor rotator first stops the screw34R at the position prescribed by the index71for the optimum launch point inFIG. 6C. Then the battery power is shut down.

Swiveling the golh club2to launch the golfrisbee, the golfrisbee1rotates on the golh club2with the golh club head34being the pivotal center. It builds up the angular momentum. The rotational radius is large. As the golfrisbee takes off, the center of rotation is at the center of the golfrisbee. The rotational radius becomes small. According to the conservation of angular momentum, the rotation speed of the golfrisbee will become faster. The effect is similar to the ballet dancer shrinking her hands in front of her chest to speed up the spin speed. Therefore, the golfrisbee is referred to be the sky ballet. To increase the spinning effect, the ring band mass is reduced and the center mass is increased with the addition of weight12as shown inFIG. 9.

The golh sport is constituted of three core technologies—the universal directional flying wing, the swiveling club and wind-bell-chain technologies. As shown inFIG. 8AandFIG. 24A, the golfrisbee1is the merge of the technologies of disk, ring, and boomerang and helicopter wing. Since the golh is a brand new sport, so we introduce the innovation of golh product step by step as shown fromFIG. 10toFIG. 26. It is noted thatFIG. 9Ais the view of the golfrisbee as shown inFIG. 11B;FIG. 8Ais the view of the golfrisbee as shown inFIG. 12B.

The design of the ultra long flying disk is much different from the conventional flying disk and Frisbee. To keep the golfrisbee1horizontal status to fly for the ultra long distance, the golfrisbee rotates and uses the gyroscopic force to stabilize the horizontal flight status. Furthermore, for the ultra long distance flying disk of golfrisbee1, the low drag force airfoil of the wing and the side stability are the most important issues. Without the side stability, the golfrisbee1will roll in the side direction then lose the lift force and falls to ground.

To play the golh in the golf course, the golh and golfrisbee technologies have to be compatible with the golf and ball technology. The swing of golh club is similar to the swing of golf club. The long-drive flying distance has to be compatible. As shown in the following table, the long drive flying capability of golfrisbee is about the same as flying golf ball.

For the conventional flying disk, the flying distance is much less than the conventional golf ball. Recently, the disk technology makes a lot of progress. It makes the disk be played in the golf course. The golf course can be modified to be the golh course.

Therefore, the golfrisbee1has the special design to have the long range flying capability. All the shape of the golfrisbee1has the streamline design for integrity. There is no abrupt line segment or sections as most of the flying disk and ring do. With the golh club2, it will be the human power farthest throw in the world. Furthermore, the golfrisbee1is designed to be safe to play as the conventional flying disk does.

So far, there is no flying disk using the aerodynamic airfoil as shown inFIG. 10Ain its design. The golfrisbee is the first to apply the wing theory of the aerodynamics to design. As shown inFIG. 10A, being relative to the wind direction1w, as the conventional uni-directional flying wing with airfoil1mfflies in the wind with the tip forward, the wing with airfoil1mfis flying in the forward direction. As shown inFIG. 10b, being relative to the wind direction1w, the conventional wing with airfoil1mbcannot fly in the backward direction. However, the golfrisbee is rotating during the flight to maintain its horizontal flying status. The golfrisbee must fly in both forward direction and backward direction. Actually, for the rotationally flying golfrisbee, the golfrisbee needs the universal directional flying capability. For simplicity, we use bi-directional flying wing to make the analysis and design for the universal flying

To fly in both forward direction and backward direction, as shown inFIG. 10C, the forward flying wing with airfoil1mfand the backward flying wing with airfoil1mbare overlapped. The forward wing1mfand the backward wing1mbare adjusted to have the maximum overlap of the upper curvatures. Then the transitional smooth curvatures are connected between the forward wing1mfand the backward wing1mb. The lobe1rbis formed. As shown inFIG. 11, for the golfrisbee disk, the lobe1rbbecomes the ring band. The envelop of the overlapped wing, as shown inFIG. 10D, is the airfoil with main plane1mof the bi-direction flying wing of the golfrisbee.

To increase the performance of the wing, the wing further has additional wing segments. As shown inFIG. 10E, the wing with airfoil1fis constituted of main plane1mf, slat1f1, slat slot1f2, flap1f3, and flap slot1f4. The slotted slat1f1is the auxiliary airfoil fitted to the leading edge of the wing. At high angles of attack, the angle of attack of the slotted slat1f1being less than that of the main plane1mf, there is a smooth air flowing over the slotted slat1f1which tends to smooth out the eddies forming over the wing1f. The slotted slat1f1is fitted to the leading edge near the wing tip to improve lateral control. Slot1f2is the passageway built into the wing1fa short distance from the leading edge. It is constructed in such a way that, at high angles-of-attack, the airflows through the slat slot1f2and over the wing1f, tending to smooth out the turbulence due to eddies.

As shown inFIG. 11andFIG. 12, the slotted slat1f1also serves as the wing fence at the position16fn. In the conventional unidirectional flying wing, the wing fences are fin-like vertical surfaces attached to the upper surface of the wing to control the airflow. On swept wing airplane, the wing fence prevents the drifting of air toward the tip of the wing at high angles of attack. On straight wing airplane, the wing fence controls the airflow in the flap area. In both cases, the wing fence gives better slow speed handling and stall characteristics.

As shown inFIG. 10E, the slotted flap1f3is a high-lift device which increases the camber of the wing1fand increases the effective wing area. The use of slotted flap1f3gives better take-off performance and permits steeper approach angles and lower approach and landing speeds. The flap slot1f4makes the flap to be slotted flap1f3. The Slotted flap1f3produces lift in excess of drag.

Since the golfrisbee rotates during flight, as the wing1frotates 180 degrees, the wing tail become wing tip as shown inFIG. 10F. To make the golfrisbee to fly with wing tail as it does with the wing tip, we need to make the innovation of the wing. As shown inFIG. 10G, the forward wing1fand backward wing1bare overlapped together. As shown inFIG. 10H, the cross section of the universal directional flying golfrisbee wing1is the envelope of the forward wing1fand backward wing1bas shown inFIG. 10G. The skirt16serves as both slotted slat1f1and slotted flap1f3as the conventional wing slat and flap do.

This bi-directional wing can be generalized to be the plural directional wing and the universal directional wing. A plural directional wing has a plural directional flying capability. As shown inFIG. 10is the bi-directional wing.

The bi-direction wing can be extended to plural-direction wing to have flying capability in plural directions. For each flying direction, the plural-directional wing has a cross section to be the envelop of a forward direction of a uni-directional wing cross section1for1mfand a backward direction of a uni-directional wing cross section1bor1mbas shown inFIG. 10CandFIG. 10G. There are transitional smooth curves between the forward direction of a uni-directional wing cross section and a backward direction of a uni-directional wing cross section. Each flying direction of the plural-direction wing has the cross section as shown inFIG. 10DandFIG. 10H.

For the rotational flying disk, we need to have the universal direction ring. As shown inFIG. 11, it shows that the golfrisbee disk having the universal directional flying capability is equivalent to have the rotational flying capability. For the rotationally flying disk, the disk needs to have the universal direction flying capability. The universal direction flying wing is in a disk shape. At any section view crossing a center of the disk, the disk has wing cross section to be the envelop of the forward direction of a uni-directional wing1fand the a backward direction of a uni-directional wing1b, There are smooth transitional curves between the forward direction of a uni-directional wing1fand the backward direction of a uni-directional wing1b. For the high performance uni-direction wing, it further comprises a slotted slat1f1and a slotted flap1f3. The envelope of the forward uni-directional wing and the backward uni-directional wing forms a disk1mmade of the main planes and the slotted skirts being the overlap of the slotted slat1f1and the slotted flap1f3. As shown inFIG. 11BandFIG. 12B, being relative to the wind direction1w, at the position16st, the skirt serves at the slotted slat1f1; at the position of16fpsthe skirt serves as the slotted flap1f3.

Furthermore, the skirt16serves as the empennage which is similar to the tail assembly of the conventional airplane. The empennage gives the side stability to the aircraft. The skirt16serves as the horizontal stabilizer and the vertical stabilizer or fin. As shown inFIG. 11BandFIG. 12B, at the position16em, the skirt16serves as the vertical stabilizer. At the position16fps, the skirt16serves as both flap1f3and the horizontal stabilizer. As the skirt16serves as the horizontal stabilizer, the skirt16is used to prevent the golfrisbee from pitching up or down. As the skirt16serves as the vertical stabilizer, the skirt16is used to prevent the golfrisbee from yawing in side direction. It serves to offset the tendency of the golfrisbee to roll in the side direction. As shown inFIG. 11C, the principle behind the skirt operation is the compensation of the difference of lift force with the difference of the downwash airflow. As the wind1wblows on the golfrisbee1, due to the rotation of the golfrisbee1, one side flow1r1has the higher relative wind speed than the other side1rr. According to the Bernoulli Law, the difference of relative wind speed over the main plane1mgenerates the different air pressures that the lift forces1pland1pron two sides are different. Due to the viscosity of boundary flow over the main plane1m, the absolute airflow speeds16aland16aron two sides are different. The airflows hit on the skirt16and flow downward with different speeds. The different speeds airflow generates the different forces16sland16sr. The momentum caused by the difference of the lift forces1pland1prwill be compensated with the momentum caused by the difference of the forces16sland16sr. Therefore, the golfrisbee1can be kept to fly horizontal position for the ultra long distance fly.

The golfrisbee1has a skirt16serving as slat and flat. The skirt16has many different ways to implement. As shown inFIG. 23A,FIG. 23BandFIG. 23C, the skirt has the slot between the skirt16and the disk body1m. As shown inFIG. 23F,FIG. 23GandFIG. 23H, the skirt16has the slot implemented as the slotted skirt. The skirt ring16has the ring band16R wrapped around the edge of the main body of the golfrisbee1m. To increase the bond between the main disk1mand the skirt16, there are the holes16H punched through the edge of the main disk1m. It is noted that all the skirt in this invention can be and actually is better to be implemented with this way. The skirt16has several functions.

(1) It serves as the bumper to protect both human and the golfrisbee itself. The skirt is made of the soft material such as foam rubber. The skirt16has the skirt hanger161extended into the golfrisbee body.

(2) The skirt16serves as the stabilizer at the side of the golfrisbee for the long-range flight as the empennage does.

(3) At the front of the golfrisbee, the skirt16serves as the guiding slot to guide the air flowing above the golfrisbee as the slot slat does. It reduces the drag force at the front end. This design is the subsonic airfoil design. It is completely different from the Innova Disk. The Innova Disk has the triangle front end being the supersonic airfoil design. However, for the supersonic wing to operate at the subsonic speed, it induces a lot of drag force.
(4) At the tail of the golfrisbee, the skirt16guides the airflow to wash downward to increase the lift and drifting distance as the slot flap does. On the contrary, in the Innova patent, the design of triangle rim will cause the air flowing up. It reduces the airlift force of the flying disk.

As shown inFIG. 12, the wing is in a ring shape wing. The ring shape wing has the section view crossing the center of the ring to be the overlap of forward direction uni-directional wing and backward direction uni-directional wing. There are smooth transitional curves between the cross sections of forward direction uni-directional wing and the backward direction uni-directional wing.

As shown inFIG. 12, the universal direction wing developed from the disk inFIG. 10Hcan be applied to the wing of the flying ring. The cross section of the golfrisbee ring is in the shape of the golfrisbee disk as shown inFIG. 10HandFIG. 11A.FIG. 12Bis the isometric view of theFIG. 8A. As shown inFIG. 12B, for the front portion16stof the ring, the outer skirt serves as the slat; the inner skirt16fpsserves as flat. For the rear portion of the ring, the inner skirt serves as the slat16st; the outer skirt serves as the flat16fps. At the right side and left side, both the outer skirt and inner skirt serve as the empennage16em.

The second core technology of the golfrisbee is the swiveling club throwing technology. The swiveling club throwing technology not only throws the golfrisbee1but also throws the golfball15, boomerang, etc.FIG. 14shows the golh set made of the golfball15and golh club2. The fit mechanism between the flying object and the head of golh club is screw. To reduce the air drag force, the fit screw of the flying object is the female screw13and the head of golh club2is male screw3. The light and sound generator12is embedded in the female screw13. There is one pore34pin the screw head3to adapt the light and sound generator12as the golfball15is mounted on the screw head3. The LED and battery can be embedded in the flying disk. Because the golh club does not hit on the flying disk and the flying disk has the soft landing, the LED and battery will be left unharmed. Having LED and sound generator12, you can play golh in the snow golf course and/or in the night. The flying disks will softly land on the top of the snow pile.

The golfball15is thrown with the golh club2as shown inFIG. 1A. The fast release latch1521is biased by a spring hidden in the bar152. The fast latch1521fits in the notch1511in the ball151to lock the bar152with the ball151. Twist the bar152, the fast release latch1511will be suppressed and the bar152can be pulled out of the ball151. Then the ball151can be putted to roll into the hole6as shown inFIG. 7A. As shown inFIG. 14C, there is one arrowhead151aattached to the golfball15. The fin153is to control the throwing direction of the golfball15. As shown inFIG. 1E, the golfball15is thrown to fly and shoot at the target board18a.

In general, the golh sport comprises of a flying object being thrown to fly with a swivel of a club2by hand. The golh club2is swiveled with hands to rotate the flying object to build up the rotating momentum and throw the flying object to fly. The golh club2is constituted of a pole and a head. The pole is swiveled with hands in a circle to throw the flying object to fly. The club head is for the flying object pivotally mounting on it. The flying object is thrown out to rotate and fly. The flying object can be boomerang171as shown inFIG. 15, the ball15and the disk1as shown inFIG. 1, etc.

FIG. 15shows the swiveling golh club and the universal direction wing technology applying to boomerang171. The flying object is a boomerang171.

As shown inFIG. 15G, the golfrisbee boomerang171takes off and flies in the sky.

FIG. 16shows the swiveling golh club and the universal direction wing technology applying to multi-boomerang172. The flying object is a multi-branches boomerang172, the boomerang172comprises multiple branches jointing together at a central joint. For the odd number of branches, the boomerang will turn and fly back. For the even number of branches, the boomerang will not turn. Adjusting the number of the branches, we can control the curvature of flying path. To have the eccentric force, the fitting screw13is mounted at ends of branches.FIG. 16AandFIG. 16Cis the application of the swiveling golh club technologies to the tri-boomerang172mand172.

FIG. 18shows the swiveling golh club and the universal direction wing technology applied to golfrisbee disk1d. The flying object is a disk1d.FIG. 18AandFIG. 18Cis the application of the swiveling golh club technologies to the golfrisbees1dmand1dmade of flying disk. As shown inFIG. 18A, the golfrisbee1dmhas the cross section as shown inFIG. 10D.

As shown inFIG. 18C, the golfrisbee1dhas the cross section as shown inFIG. 10H. A light and sound generator12is installed in the middle of female screw13. The male screw34of club head is empty in the middle portion. The light and sound generator12is embedded in the cavity of female screw13not only to reduce air drag to increase throwing distance of flying disk but also having weight balance for the flying disk. Since the golfrisbee can have the sound device and light device installed, the snow golh and night golh has the long Drive capability with golfrisbee. The golh can be played in the snowy golf course to be snow golh. The snow golf course just needs to blow the snow away from the putting hole area to clean out a small area for putting the golf ball. With the golh, the snowy golf course can continue the operation in the winter season. As shown inFIG. 18E, the golh club2is swiveled backward to be ready to throw the golfrisbee disk1d. As shown inFIG. 18F, due to the eccentric force, the golfrisbee disk1drotates. As shown inFIG. 18G, the golfrisbee disk1dtakes off and flies in the sky.

The flying object is a diskring1h.FIG. 20AandFIG. 20Care the application of the swiveling golh club technologies to the golfrisbee diskrings1hmand1h. As shown inFIG. 20A, the golfrisbee diskring1hmhas the cross section as shown inFIG. 10D. As shown inFIG. 20C, the golfrisbee diskring1hmhas the cross section as shown inFIG. 10H. As shown inFIG. 20E, the golh club2is swiveled back to be ready to throw the golfrisbee diskring1h. As shown inFIG. 20F, due to the eccentric force, the golfrisbee diskring1hrotates. As shown inFIG. 20G, the golfrisbee diskring1htakes off and flies in the sky.

The drag force determines the flying distance. The wobbling phenomena and the abrupt shape are the most important two aerodynamic drag factors. To eliminate the wobbling, the structure of golfrisbee is symmetrical. To reduce the drag force, the golfrisbee shape is further smoothed. The essential difference between the golfrisbee and the conventional hand-thrown flying disk is that the golfrisbee1gets rid of all the sharp edges. It has no edge at all. The golfrisbee1has the dome shape smooth design in its middle portion. The golfrisbee1with the skirt16is safe to play in the park. It is the only flying disk having both the thin profile of the ring structure and the dome shape of the flying disk. The golfrisbee1is launched with the golf club2. The golfrisbee screw13is about half turn only. It makes the golfrisbee1be able to have very thin profile.

FIG. 21shows the swiveling golh club and the universal direction wing technology applied to boomerang diskring or boomerang ring. As shown inFIG. 22, the same golfrisbee1has the structure to be diskring1dras shown inFIG. 22Bor the structure to be ringdisk1rdas shown inFIG. 22C. Both of them are referred to be the golfrisbee1. The golfrisbee1has the hybrid structure of the disk, ring and boomerang.FIG. 21AandFIG. 21Dare the application of the swiveling golh club technologies to the sky ballet golfrisbee1made of the boomerang diskring1dror boomerang ring1rd.

As shown inFIG. 22B, the flying object is a boomerang type diskring1dr. The boomerang17is at the center portion of the diskring1dr. The boomerang17is constituted of a plural of branches. As shown inFIG. 22C, the flying object is a boomerang ring1rdand the boomerang is at the center portion of said diskring1dr. The boomerang17is constituted of a plural of branches. As shown inFIG. 21C, the golfrisbee1has the cross section is either to be diskring1dras shown inFIG. 22Bor the cross section of ring1rdas shown inFIG. 22C. As shown inFIG. 22G, the golh club2is swiveled backward to be ready to throw the sky ballet golfrisbee1. As shown inFIG. 21H, due to the eccentric force, the sky ballet golfrisbee1rotates. As shown inFIG. 21J, the golfrisbee1takes off and flies in the sky. As shown inFIG. 21G, there are arrowheads1aaround the peripheral of the golfrisbee1m. As shown inFIG. 1E, swiveling the golh club, the golfrisbee with arrowhead hits and attached on the target board18a.

FIG. 23shows the alternative design of the golfrisbee1made of the boomerang diskring. As shown inFIG. 23D, the boomerang polygon is the combination of two different boomerangs172mand173mas shown inFIG. 16andFIG. 17. Comparing with the boomerang polygon as shown inFIG. 23Ewith the boomerang diskring as shown inFIG. 23A, the boomerang diskring is the boomerang polygon with the number polygon edges to be infinite. The golfrisbee1is also considered to be the combination of the boomerang172mas shown inFIG. 16and the diskring1has shown inFIG. 20. As shown inFIG. 23, the hole42in the ring band is to reduce the weight. The center weight12is added to the center of the golfrisbee to increase the spinning effect. The center weight12is constituted of the weights120,124the screw122and the nut123. For the night golf and/or snow golf, the weight120and/or124can be either the light source and/or the sound source. For the ultra long distance, the addition of the weight is not easy. If the weight is larger than the aerodynamic lift force, the flying disk will dive downward and the flying distance is decreased instead of increase. Therefore, the light or sound for the night golh and snow golh needs to have a very compact design to reduce the weight and size.

To have the long drive in night golf or snow golf, the LED and buzzer have to be installed on the golfrisbee1. Night golh is to play golh in the night. Night golh is the golh sport in the desert places. Why there is the need for the night golh? The first reason is that it is too hot to play golh during the daytime for the cities in the desert such as Las Vegas. The golher has to wait until the temperature is cooled down in the night. The night golh is the only golh which can be played in the hot desert. The second reason is that, in the weekdays, after the business hour, it is already 6 p.m. It becomes dark. If the golher wants to play golh in the weekday, the night golh is the only choice.

Comparing golh with golf, the night golf is limited to be putting only! It is difficult to find the long drive flying golf ball in the night. To have the long drive in night golf or snow golf, the LED and buzzer have to be installed on the golfball. However, as the golfball is hit by the golf club, the impact force will destroy the LED and buzzer. As the highflying golfball falls on the ground, the impact force will destroy the LED and buzzer installed in the golfball, too. Therefore, it is impossible to mount any signal indicator device on the golfball. The long drive of the golf ball causes no night golf, no snow golf, no park golf and booking for tee-time. It causes the usage of the golf course to be low. So, the light and/or sound generator mounted on the golfrisbee is very important for the golh to have the night golh and snow golh to increase the usage of the golf course.

As shown inFIG. 36, the weight120is the light source for the night golh and snow golh. The screw122passes the hole1203to hold the light120to the golfrisbee1. The light source1200emits the light in the night golh to guide the golher to locate the golfrisbee. To save the power, the light sources are LED. The LEDs have different colors. As the golfrisbee rotates in the night, it has the rainbow in the dark sky. The switching button1201can be pushed to shut the battery power. The switching button can be capacitor type that the seal of1201can be solid. The battery and the switching circuit1202are to supply the power and light control to the light source1200.

As shown inFIG. 37, it shows the sound source124is to add the weight at the center of the golfrisbee for the night golh and snow golh. The screw122passes the hole1243to hold the sound source124to the golfrisbee1. The speaker1240generates the sound to guide the golher to locate the golfrisbee. The switching button1241can be pushed to shut the battery power. The switching button can be capacitor type that the seal of1241can be solid. The battery and the switching circuit1242are to supply the power and light control to the light source1240.

As shown inFIG. 28, to have the video, audio effect and enhanced curved flying capability, the golfrisbee is modified to be the helicopter type golfrisbee as shown inFIG. 24. To have the control of the soft landing in the golfrisbee basket182cp, the boomerang golfrisbee1adjusts the boomerang wing17to have different curved path. The boomerang wing17has many different wing segments to modify the curved flying path of the golfrisbee. As shown inFIG. 28A, the boomerang wing17having the segment17ais for the right-hand golh club to have the curved up flying path. As shown inFIG. 28B, the boomerang wing17having the segment17bis for the left-hand golh club to have the curved up flying path. As shown inFIG. 28C, the boomerang wing17having the segment17cis for the left-hand golh club or right-hand club to have the curved up flying path. The segment17cis derived from the bi-directional wing segment1mas shown inFIG. 10D. As shown inFIG. 28D, the boomerang wing17having the segment17dis for the right-hand golh club to have the curved down flying path. As shown inFIG. 28E, the boomerang wing17having the segment17eis for the left-hand golh club to have the curved down flying path. As shown inFIG. 28F, the boomerang wing17having the segment17fis for the left-hand golh club or right-hand club to have the curved down flying path.

As shown inFIG. 24, the golfrisbee has the universal wing17a. The wing segment17acan adjust the angle of attack to change the flying path of the golfrisbee. The wing segment17ahas the short stub17bpivotally fitting in the golfrisbee body. Changing the angle of the attack of the wing segment17a, the lift force of the golfrisbee will change. The flying path of the golfrisbee will change accordingly.

There are many different versions of the golfrisbee. As shown inFIG. 24, the cap131L is the punched through cap. For the punched through type cap, the launching angle can be increased a lot. Furthermore, the golfrisbee1can be made much thinner. It can reduce the drag force. The flying distance can be much farther. As shown inFIG. 25the wing segment17is optional to be removed to be a golfring. As shown inFIG. 26, the golfrisbee has only one right hand cap to minimize the air drag. To have the weight balance, the air bubble13bis embedded in the golfrisbee body on the opposite site of the cap. The volume of the air bubble is the same as the volume of the cap.

In addition, we need to provide the system pack solution. Golh is to introduce a complete system pack solution to the existing golf and flying disk problems. It offers the solution for the snow golf, night golf, park golf and disk golf. One unique golfrisbee disk will fulfill all the different tough requirements of the different golf sports.

The screw needs the lubricant to reduce the static friction. The initial static friction causes the uncertainty during the golh club swiveling process. To have the consistent swiveling process and expected result, the lubrication is needed to eliminate the stick force of the initial static friction. Furthermore, as the golfrisbee falls on the ground, the dirt sticks to the screw of the cap. It will cause the inconsistent swiveling result. So, the cap13of the golfrisbee is needed to be checked and cleaned quite often for the serious competition of championship.

The screw system of the golfrisbee cannot allow the dirt or sand to attach to it. We need to have the field cleaner to clean the sand and dirt away. Comparing with golf, the golh is a high-tech sport. To play good, you need to understand the mechanics, aerodynamics, etc. The most difficult problem is the initial static friction/stick force problem during the golfrisbee launching process. To swing consistently, the screw fit cap of the golfrisbee needs to be cleaned with blowing air and applied with lubricants of different viscosity. The static friction controller contains the compression air and lubricant.

As shown inFIG. 27, in the field operation, we use the static friction controller7. It has the three processes to be integrated in one bottle device: the air compression, the air cleaning and the lubricant application. The static friction controller is constituted of the compressing cylinder70, the switching block71, the spraying nozzle72and the container74. The lubricant75is stored in container74. The cap742is to seal the lubricant741entrances. The spraying nozzle72is mounted on the top of the sliding cylinder70. The sliding tube70can be fit in the hole722. The cavity723guides the fluid into the nozzle720. The hole721is to fit for the spraying tube. Press on the nozzle72, the cylinder70slides downward. The one-way compression piston7021moves upward to seal the conduit. The one-way compression valves714moves downward to allow the air to be sucked into the conduit713. The air inside the switching block compartment716is forced to flow out into the container74. As the finger is released, the sliding cylinder70moves upward under the air pressure in the compartment716. The air inside the conduit713is compressed and the one-way valve714is closed. As the air pressure inside the conduit713is larger than the air pressure in the compartment716, the one-way valve7021moves downward. The compressed air flows into the compartment. Repeating the process as shown inFIG. 27AandFIG. 27Breciprocally, the air pressure inside the container74is built up.

To use the compressed air to clean the cap of the golfrisbee or the screw of the golh head, as shown inFIG. 27C, the finger holds the sliding tube at the position to have the conduit701to align with the hole711on the wall of the switching block71. The compressed air flows through the hole711, the conduit701, the cavity723, and the nozzle720. The compressed air blows on the cap or screw to blow away the dirt. As the dirt is cleaned, the golher can apply the lubricant75to the cap or screw. As shown inFIG. 27D, the finger holds the sliding tube70at the position to have the conduit701to align with the hole712on the wall of the switching block71. The lubricant75flows through the hole712, the conduit701, and the cavity723and the nozzle720. The lubricant75sprays on the cap and screw to lubricate the cap and screw.

Golf sport has one bag to carry many different golf clubs. Golh sport also has many different golh clubs for the golher to carry. For example, different pitch of the screw, different launching angle, different type of screw, different length of club, etc, there are many different golh clubs. Therefore, the golher may carry several golh clubs. Even worse, the flying objects have versatile disk, boomerang, ring, etc to be the flying object. So, the golher needs more room for the golh bag. However, to carry the golh bag walking on the snow is not so easy. So, the trolley is needed.

Both snow golh and night golh have the highflying disk activity. Using the golfrisbee, the snow golh and the night golh have the complete golf course activity. The golh can boost up the golf course income a lot. Definitely, the golf courses will welcome the golh for their own benefit of the golf course income. Due to the night golh, the golf course can operate at night in the weekday or in the hot desert. Due to the snow golh, the golf course can operate in the snowy winter. This is the win—win solution for the golf course and the golhers. It reduces golfer cost a lot, too. The member fee of the golf course will worth more. The golf course will sell the golh club and golfrisbee and encourage all the golfers to play golh in the night or in the snowy days. To encourage the golfer to play the golh, they will allow the golhers to share the same course and no tee-time!

The golfrisbee can be played in the snowfield to be the ski golh. The ski golh is to play the golh with the cross-country ski. The snow golh and ski golh are referred as white golh. With the golfrisbee, in the shiny sunshine, the golher can play the white golh. The white golh has the different taste from the green golh. To play the white golh, we need to provide the auxiliary equipment. The complete system package includes the golh cart equipped with ski to play the ski golh.

The golf never plays in the snowfield or the dark field. In19thcentury, the USGA (United States Golf Association) already set the game rule for the snow golf. However, the snow golf cannot keep the snowy golf course to operate in the winter. After 110 years, the snow golf still cannot play the highflying golf ball game. It is impossible to have the long drive of the golf ball in the snowy golf course. It is hard to find the golf ball in the white snow course. Therefore, the snow golf and night golf are also limited to the putting only. Today the snow golf and the night golf already have the special rules and means. Both are the in-door golf activities to putt the golf ball to roll into the hole only. The golf cart, golf trolley or golf bag is not designed for the snow golf or night golf. The golf cart is a four wheels electrical car. The golf trolley cannot carry golfer. The golf bag is too heavy to be used on the soft snow. Therefore, the golf cart or golf trolley is not capable to work in the snowfield and the dark field.

To carry the heavy golf bag to walk on the soft snow is not an easy job. For the golf course in the desert of Las Vegas, the snake and animal will come out in the night. We need to minimize the hazards in the snow golh and night golh. The golh bag is integrated with the personal portable golh cart. The golher can ride on the personnel portable golh cart in the golf course to minimize the hazards and speed up the play. As he arrives at the disk-landing place, he can step down the golh cart; pop the support stick to support the golh cart as the standing golf bag. The golh cart will serve as the standing bag as you play the golh. As the golher launches the golfrisbee disk, the golher can immediately step on the golh cart to run after the flying disk.

As shown inFIG. 29A, the golh trolley5is mounted on the axle500of wheels50. The foldable handle51pulls the frame52to drag the golh trolley5forward. The supporter55is hinged to the ear520on the frame52with the pivotal axle550. The golh bag4is leaned against the frame52.FIG. 29Bshows the golh bag being integrated with the portable trolley5a. To ski on the snow, as shown inFIG. 29C, the trolley5is mounted on the snow ski901. To ski on the snow and run on the road, as shown inFIG. 29D, the trolley is mounted on the belt wheel501. The belt wheel501is composed of two wheels5011and5012, belt5013and triangle structure5014. The trolley5is pivotally mounted on the top node of the structure5014.

To play the night golh in the desert or the snow golh in the heavy snow northern place, the golher has to ride on the cart. In the desert, during the day, the temperature is too high to play golh. The only time to play golh is in the night. However, in the night, the snakes come out, too. The golher has to ride on the golh cart. In the heavy snow place, the snow depth can be very deep. It is impossible for the golher to ski to drag the golf trolley. The golher has to ride on the golh cart, too.

The snow golf course and night golh courses are the tough play environment. We need special golh equipment for the snow golh and night golh. To play the snow golf in the snow golf course, there are other issues to be addressed. To play the snow golf in the field, it is impossible to drag the heavy golf bag to walk on the soft snow in the cold windy golf course. We need a specially designed golh cart to carry the bag and the golher altogether.

There are two kinds of cart. One is three-wheel golh cart8as shown inFIG. 30. The golher can stand on the golh cart8to drive the golh cart. The golh cart is a foldable and portable golh cart. Releasing the extension lock821, the length of pole82can be adjusted. The pole82is foldable with the pivotal joint830. The technique for the golh cart adopts our former U.S. Pat. No. 5,474,144 Twin-Wheel Motor Car with Differential Height and Speed Mechanism. It needs only one motor to drive the twin-wheels80. Since it has three wheels, it does not need the complicate self-balance circuits and control. It does not have the speed limit as the two-wheel golh cart does. Therefore, the cost becomes much cheaper and the speed is much faster. As shown inFIG. 30C, the front wheel86is mounted on the support frame82with the axle860. Rotating the handle81, the frame82rotates which also causes the front wheel86to rotate to change direction. The twin-wheels have the differential mechanism to drive the wheels86to have the different speed during the turning direction. InFIG. 30B, the support85pivotally rotates on the axle850to support the ear820. The support85supports the frame82. The golf cart is served as the standing bag and golh trolley.

The golh needs to play as the snow golh and the night golh. It is impossible for the golher to pull the golf trolley in the deep snow. It is extreme dangerous to walk in the dark field. The golh cannot use the existed golf facilities to play the snow golh or night golh. In the snowfield and the dark field, the golh trolley has to be integrated with the golh cart and be able to carry the golher. The Dean L. Kamen et al U.S. Pat. No. 5,971,091 Transportation Vehicles and Methods and U.S. Pat. No. 6,302,230B1 Personal Mobility Vehicles and Methods do not have the trolley function of golh cart. Our new innovative golh cart is unique to have the multiple functions of the golh bag, golh trolley and golh cart. The golh cart is similar to the two-wheel golf trolley. However, the golher can ride on the golh cart.

On the contrary, the snow golh and ski golh are the real golf sports in the snowy winter season. To run on the deep snow in the golf course, the wheel can change to be the snow wheel80sas shown inFIG. 35. The wheel paddle801is at the end of the cylinder802. The cylinder802is under the bias of the spring803. As shown inFIG. 35A, the snow wheel80srolls on the solid ground. The wheel paddle801is compressed to be the same circle as the wheel80s. As shown inFIG. 35A, the snow wheel80srolls on the snow. The wheel paddle801is expanded into the snow to serve as the paddle. The wheel paddle801expels the snow to drive the golh cart8forward or backward.

As shown inFIG. 30DtoFIG. 30F, the golh cart9is further equipped with the automatic golh snow ski9. As shown inFIG. 32AandFIG. 32B, the automatic golh snow ski9is raised up to run on the solid ground. As shown inFIG. 32CandFIG. 32D, the automatic golh ski9is lowered to support the weight of golh cart9to drive on the soft snow. The wheel can be changed to be the snow wheel80s.

As shown inFIG. 32B, there is a Z-shape guiding slot910notched on the guiding plate91. The wheel axle600passes through the Z-shape guiding slot910. The spring92connects between the axle600and the ski9to pull the ski forward to raise the ski9. The spring92is constituted of two segments923and924. The segment924has the hooked end921to hook the axle600. The segment924has the hooked end920to hook the ear923of the guiding board91. Under the compression force of the spring92, the guiding plate91is pulled forward to raise the ski9up.

As shown inFIG. 32C, the wheel rolls on the soft snow95and traps in the snow95. The ski9contacts with the snow95. As the wheel60rotates to drive the golh cart to move forward, due to friction, the ski9is left behind. The wheel axle600climbs up the slope of the Z-shape guiding slot910to force the ski9downward to engage with snow95to support the weight of golh carts.

FIG. 33shows the installation of the snow ski without removing the wheel. As shown inFIG. 33A, the wheel axle600passes the slot and presses the locking plate912downward. The locking plate912is pivotally mounted on the guiding plate91with the pin9120.FIG. 33Bshows the axle600is mounted in the guiding slot910.FIG. 33Cshows the locking plate is closed with the biasing spring.FIG. 33Dshows the hook921is attached to the axle600and the installation is finished.FIG. 34shows the lower slot of Z-shape guiding slot can make the extension to be the guiding slot910e. The snow ski9can be folded to integrate with the golh cart or golh trolley.

FIG. 31shows the two-wheel golh cart. The golh cart is foldable and portable. Releasing the extension lock621, the length of pole62can be adjusted. The pole62is foldable with the pivotal joint630. The golh cart can be further innovated from the Segway of Dean L. Kamen et al U.S. Pat. No. 5,971,091 Transportation Vehicles and Methods and U.S. Pat. No. 6,302,230B1 Personal Mobility Vehicles and Methods. The supporting stick65is pivotally mounted on the frame62with the pivotal axle650passing the ear620of the frame62. The two-wheel golher cart6is served as the standing bag as shown inFIG. 31B. The snow ski9can be mounted as shown inFIG. 32D,FIG. 32EandFIG. 32F. The wheel can be changed to be the snow wheel8s, too.

FIG. 38shows the self-locked portable golh bag for traveling golher. As shown inFIG. 38A, the golh bag has the self-lock cap43being self-locked with the golh bag42. The handle41is to carry the golh bag42or to hang the golh bag42on the golh cart as shown inFIG. 30. Under the biasing spring431, the pressing plate432presses against the top rim of the golh bag42. Under this pressure, the protrude430is locked in the notch4210. To open the golh bag, pressing the cap43downward, the protuberance430moves downward to slide in the slot421. Rotating the cap43, slides the protuberance430to the slot421end. Lifting up the cap43, the golh bag42is opened. As shownFIG. 38B, the cap43can be held at the bottom of golh bag42to facilitate the carry of the golh bag42. Slide the protrude430into the vertical segment of the slot422and press the cap43upward. As the protrude hits the end of the vertical segment, rotate the cap43horizontally to the end. Under the biasing force of the spring431, the pressing plate biases against the bottom plate of the golh bag42. Under the biasing force, the protrude430is fitted in the notch422. The self-locked cap43is self-locked to the bottom of the golh bag42.

To play the basedisc, we need the portable base. To play the golh in the park, we need the portable-putting hole. As shown in theFIG. 39, it shows the universal portable hole base. It can be used as either the base in the basedisc or the putting hole in the park golh. The rolling golf ball can roll upward on the inclined plane452and the plateau451into the hole450. The flag46has the flag461to mark the number of the hole. The flag is inserted in the hole450of the base45with the stub460fitting inside the hole450.

Now the flying disk technology is comparable with the golf technology. The long-drive champion record for the golf ball is about 1236 feet. The hand-throw Aerobee Ring has the flying range record to be 1,333 feet. Therefore, the golfball and flying disk can be compatible to share the same golf course. Furthermore, we make the innovation for golfrisbee. The golfrisbee will make the flying disk flying higher and longer distance. With the golfrisbee, golh club and professional training with the golh swing trainer, almost all the people can launch the golfrisbee as well as and as far as the long drive of golf ball.

However, the way of golh swing is different from the way of golf swinging. There is the golh swing trainer to train the golfer to be the golher. The golf swing trainer provides guidance for the correct way of the swing of the golf club. Our golh swing trainer not only guides the swing path but also guides the swing speed and swing acceleration. The golher swing trainer integrates both the weight training and swing training in the same swing trainer.

The swing of golh is different from the swing of golf. To launch the golfrisbee with the golh club, the swing speed and the swing pattern is very important. To train the golher to be familiar with the swing way of golh, as shown inFIG. 40, the golh swing trainer10is important for the golh instructor. The golher stands inside the golher trainer and has the golher club2fit inside the swing glider23sas the same position as the payload23shown inFIG. 8. The handle21sis fit at the position21shown inFIG. 8. The Computer aided golh instructor101drives the solenoid tube1022located inside the tube102to rotate to drive the gliding stub1021and the swing glider23sto slide. The swing glider23sis to guide the correct swing speed of the golh club. InFIG. 40D, it shows the alternative design of the guide. As the pulley101ppulls the rope1025, the guide23sslides to move to guide the correct swing speed.

The golh simulator41is the miniature of the portable wheel balance machine. Instead of balancing the wheel, we apply the same principle and mechanism to measure the rotation of the golfrisbee1. The golher can easily check the simulating results of flying distance, launching angle, launching speed, and flying direction on the LCD screen. Furthermore, the golher can adjust the parameter of the viscosity of the lubricant, the starting angle, the launching angle of the screw, etc to find the optimum swing pattern for himself. With the golher simulator, the golher does not need to go through the tedious launching and walking, trial and error process and improve his techniques systematically.

FIG. 41is the golh simulator11. The golfrisbee1is mounted on the rubber wheel head111. The rubber1111envelops around the steel drum1110to be the rubber head. Any golfrisbee cap3can easily fit on the rubber wheel head111. As the golher swings the golher club, the sensors113and microprocessor114of balance mechanism record and analyze the dynamical behaviors of the golfrisbee. The dynamics results are shown on the LCD display. The LCD display112is mounted on pole of the golf club.

The golfrisbee is made of the composite material to be one single piece. Furthermore, the golfrisbee has the screw. Therefore, the mass production manufacture process is very important to the golh industry. As shown inFIG. 42A, the manufacture of making golh club and golfrisbee module is highly complicated four-step process. In the first step, the golh club head locking screw35, launching stubs34R and34L are casted with model. As shown in step2, the locking screw35is put in the club head module to cast the golh head with the locking screw35. As shown in step3, the launching stubs34R and34L are put in the golfrisbee module to cast the golfrisbee with the launching screws. As shown in step4, the golfrisbee is put in the skirt module to have the skirt16casted to be one unit with the golfrisbee1.

FIG. 42Bshows the assembly process of the golh club and golfrisbee. In Step5, the handle, golf club head, golf club pole and golf launching stub are assembled to be the golh club. In Step6, the payload124, screw123and golfrisbee body are assembled to be the golfrisbee1. In step7, the golfrisbee1is mounted on the launching screw stub and is ready for launching test. The detailed production process and flow are discussed in details as follows.

As shown inFIG. 23F, the golfrisbee is made of two materials. The skirt16material is made of the soft material16sas shown inFIG. 46. The main plane1mmaterial is made of the elastic material1meas shown inFIG. 43. It adopted the double injection plastic modules as shown inFIG. 43andFIG. 46. As shown inFIG. 44, the golfrisbee1is made of three materials. It adopted the triple injection plastic modules as shown inFIG. 43andFIG. 46. To minimize the air drag, as shown inFIG. 43, the callouts show the details of the curvatures for the stubs which support the skirt16.

During the plastic module injection, to generate the screw13of the golfrisbee1, it must rotate to retrieve the screwed module head13s. The rotation of the screwed module head13swill cause the distortion of the main plane1mof the golfrisbee1. To get rid of the distortion due to the rotation of the screwed module head13s, there is the need for the special module injection process. A plastic injection module for the flying object comprises a screw module13sand a main plane cavity module190, said screw module13srotates to retrieve from said main plane cavity module190before said plastic injection modules190and191are open. As shown inFIG. 43A, as the modules190and191close, the elastic plastics1meis injected into the cavity of the main plane1m. After the plastic injection, the screwed module head13srotates and retrieves from the cavity as shown inFIG. 43B. The modules190and191still close and press on the injected plastic main plain1mto release the stress on the main plane1mwith the residue heat of the plastic injection and keep the main plane1min the original shape. After the main plane1mis hardened, then the module191opens as shown by the arrow191t.

To increase the life of the golfrisbee1, as shown inFIG. 44, the screw bore13is made of the hard plastic material. The screw134is in the shape of dual half ring. The golfrisbee is constituted of three kinds of material: the soft skirt16, the elastic main plane1mand the hard screw13. The composite golfrisbee1adopts the triple plastic injection process. To reduce the air drag, as shown inFIG. 44C, the skirt support161envelops the edge of the main plane1m. There are smooth transition curves between the skirt16and the main plane1m. As shown inFIG. 45A, the pore13preserves a hole imp as the elastic material1meis injected for the main plane1m. As shown inFIG. 45B, the modules are separated and the hole1mpis formed in the main plane1m. Then the hard plastic1mhis injected and the screwed module head13sis inserted in the reserved pore as shown inFIG. 45C. As shown inFIG. 45D, the screw module head rotates and retrieves, then the modules190and191open. The hard female screw13is formed.

As shown inFIG. 46A, the soft plastic16sis injected for the skirt16. As the module190and191open, the complete golfrisbee1is done. It notes that the soft plastic16sinjection can be integrated with eitherFIG. 43orFIG. 44to have the double injection or triple injection to minimize the production cost.

As the golfrisbee is large and flat for the long throwing distance, the distortion of plastic injection becomes problem. To overcome the shrinkage distortion in plastic injection, as shown inFIG. 47, the backbone plate1mkis embedded in the golfrisbee disk or golfrisbee ring. The screw13is integrated with the backbone plate1mk. As shown inFIG. 48, the backbone plate1mkand screw13are injected with the hard plastic material1mhsuch as polycarbonate. Then the backbone plate1mkwith the screw13is put in the cavity to be injected and enwrapped with the elastic plastic material injection1mesuch as rubber. The high technology and high performance golfrisbee is made of the composite material with the complex manufacturing process.

The golh sport is to swivel the golh club to launch the golfrisbee to fly into the golfrisbee disk. The golher having the less number of swivels score will be the winner. The golh sport comprises the three key technologies of golh club, golfrisbee disk and the golfrisbee basket. While the invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to the preferred embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
