<p>A golf ball caddy has cylindrical body 1, which is fitted internally with a helical sprung piston assembly 2 and 3 which elevates the balls to an ejection port 7. At the top of the body adjacent the ejection port is a thumb hole 5 which allows a small portion of the topmost ball to protrude, this combined with the spring pressure prevents the ball from being ejected until the spring pressure is displaced by applying counter pressure with the thumb at 5. The ball is then ejected into the hand, simultaneously subsequent balls are raised to the position of their former, thus allowing the process to be repeated. The piston is arrested at the top of its stroke by an internal flange 4 just below the ejected port. This allows the balls to be reloaded into the body, The caddy may have a clip for attaching it to a golf trolley or bag, means to hold golf tees, ball markers, or pencils, and a vacuum relief hole 8.</p> |
