Golf ball grabber

摘要

A golf ball-grabbing device including a cap affixable at the longitudinal extremity of the grip of a putter shaft and having a single central opening therethrough with finger-receiving guide notches therearound, and a movable grabber assembly having (a) a base member shaped to be movably retained within the shaft below the cap and (b) at least three non-destructibly resiliently-deformable resiliently-deformable strip-like fingers each having a proximal end secured to the base member, an arcuate ball-grabbing portion, and a distal end terminating in a camming member having a substantially-planar ball-engagable face, each finger slidably engaged within one of the notches. The movable grabber assembly is slidable with respect to the cap between a non-use position in which the arcuate portions of the fingers are contained only by the shaft and a use position in which the arcuate portions of the fingers are deployed outside the shaft and above the cap.

1. In a ball-grabbing device for securement with respect to a tubular golf-putter shaft, the device including fingers for grabbing the ball, the improvement comprising:
a cap affixable at the longitudinal extremity of a grip end of the putter shaft, such cap having a single central opening therethrough with finger-receiving guide notches spaced therearound; and a movable grabber assembly having (a) a base member shaped to be movably retained within the shaft below the cap and (b) at least three non-destructibly resiliently-deformable strip-like forgers each having a proximal end secured to the base member, an arcuate ball-grabbing portion, and a distal end terminating in a camming member having a substantially-planar ball-engagable face, each finger slidably engaged within one of the guide notches, the movable grabber assembly being slidable with respect to the cap between a non-use position in which the arcuate portions of the fingers are below the cap and contained only by the shaft and a use position in which the arcuate portions of the fingers are outside the shaft and above the cap.
