Patent ID: 6942578

Claim:
A golf ball placement device comprising: a housing; a golf ball container located in the housing and provided with a golf ball outlet; a tube pivotally connected to the housing, the tube including a golf ball inlet and an open end; an actuator; transmission means for converting a motion of the actuator into a pivotal motion of the tube, the transmission means being mounted in the housing and being connected to the actuator and the tube, wherein said transmission means is properly balanced to enable the golf ball placement device to place a golf ball when a minimum force is applied to the actuator; and wherein the transmission means for converting a motion of the actuator into a pivotal motion of the tube comprises: a first rotating shaft inserted into the housing; a first lever having a first end and a second end, wherein the first lever is rigidly connected to the actuator at the first end of the first lever, wherein the first lever is connected to the first rotating shaft at the first end, wherein the actuator is linked to the first shaft, and wherein when actuator pivotally moves, the second end of the first lever moves pivotally around the first rotating shaft; a second rotating shaft inserted into the housing, wherein the tube is rigidly connected to the second rotating shaft; a second lever having a first end and a second end, wherein the second lever is rigidly connected to the second rotating shaft at the first end of the second lever, the second end of the second lever moves around the second rotating shaft as the second rotations shaft rotates; and an extension arm contains a first connection point and a second connection point, wherein the first connection point is pivotally connected to the second end of the first lever and the second connection point is pivotally connected to the second end of the second lever.
