Golf ball retriever

摘要

A device for retrieving an object such as a golf ball. In one preferred embodiment, the device comprises a handle, a stationary member or loop that is rigidly attached to the handle, a reactive member or loop that is pivotally attached to the stationary member and a spring for biasing the reactive member substantially perpendicular to the stationary member. Prior to capturing the object, the retriever is set such that the stationary and reactive members are substantially parallel. The retriever is then directed so that when the spring contacts an object, it trips the spring and causes the reactive member to pivot into a substantially perpendicular position with respect to the stationary member, capturing the object inside the stationary and reactive members.

1. A device for retrieving an object comprising:
a handle; a stationary loop rigidly attached to said handle; a reactive loop pivotally attached to said stationary loop, said reactive loop including a ground-engaging offset tab, the stationary loop and the reactive loop each having a top, bottom, and side portions, the bottom portion of the stationary loop is attached to the handle, the side portions of the reactive loop are pivotally attached to the side portions of the stationary loop, and the offset tab extends from the top portion of the reactive loop, the offset tab extending in a direction away from the handle when the stationary loop and the reactive loop are oriented parallel to each other; and means for biasing said reactive loop substantially perpendicular to said stationary loop, each of said loops substantially surrounding the object when positioned substantially perpendicular to each other.
