of Golf.
We, STUART NAVILLE CORLETT, Merchant, and JOHN ERNEST HULBERT,
Merchant, both of Manchestor House, Friday Street, London, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to
be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
"
This invention relates to an instrument or apparatus to be used for making the
or small mounds of sand or earth, upon the summit of which a ball is
placed and from which it is struck in playing the game of golf.
tees
The said instrument or apparatus consists of a mould for shaping the sand in the
formation of the "tees."
"
According to one form of our invention, the said mould is made in the form of a
conical shaped cup or cap, with a flange at the closed on crown end for convenience
In holding, and through which crown passes a pusher for ejecting or removing the
formed "tee" from the mould, the interior of which 18 of the shape which it 18
desired for the tee to have.
Figure 1 of the accompanying drawing represents a sand "tee," upon the summit
of which the ball rests and from which it is struck in playing off.
Figure 2 shows an elevation of the moulding apparatus for forming the said
tee," and Figure 3 shows the same in section.
Figure 4 1epresents a section of the mould filled with sand.
Figure 5 represents the formed "tee" being removed from the mould by the
push piece.
Figure 6 is a topside plan of Figure 2 and Figure 7 18 an underside plan thereof.
The same letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in Figures 1 to 7 of
the diawing.
a 18 cup or cop shaped body part, with an open bottom a³, and a (preferably)
conoidal shaped interior a', with the closed ond or crown a³, having a flange or
rim a', for convenience in holding, and through the middle of the crown, a plunger-
like pusher b, with a button 62, at its outer end, and a convex faced bearer &, at
its inner end, passes, and by means of which a sand " tee r, moulded within the
appliance, is ejected or removed.
"
Figure 8 represents a like instrument or apparatus as last described, but with the
mouth ond provided with a presser or rammer for consolidating the sand in the
formation of the tee.
a is the instrument, with the open end a', fitted with a plunger-like rammer or
presser e, having a holding handle e'. The mould is first filled with sand which is
subsequently compressed by the rammer.
The appliances described not only constitute moulds for forming the tees, but
also means for carrying and placing the sand tees in position.
We wish it to be understood that we do not limit ourselves to the shape of the
moulder or former, as we may vary this as we think fit without departing from our
invention, but
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :-
First. Making the sand or earth "tees" employed in playing the game of golf
within a mould or former, substantially as described and set forth.

page_text: Secondly. A mould or former for making golf "tees," having a push piece
passing through the clown or closed end for removing the formed tees, substantially
as described and set forth in Figures 1 to 7.
Thirdly. A moulder or former for making golf tees, provided with a rammer or
presser at the mouth end for consolidating the sand within the mould, substantially
as described and set forth in Figme 8.
Dated this 11th day of May 1895.
