Variable morphology putting green for playing golf

USPTO Application #: 20090118025
Title: Variable morphology putting green for playing golf
Abstract: With respect to prior putting greens, the inventive putting green has the advantage that it is very simple, owing to the provision of inflatable cushion elements, or cushion elements designed to be filled by highly pressuring fluids. Moreover, the arrangement of the filling-in means for filling the cushion elements outside the body of the putting green greatly facilitates maintenance operations of said cushion elements. A variable morphology putting green comprises a covering element and means for varying the height or level of the covering element with respect to a base therefor, said means comprising a plurality of cushion elements designed for operating between a completely full condition and a completely empty condition, and which can be filled-in by a filling-in fluid. (end of abstract)

Variable morphology putting green for playing golf description/claims


The Patent Description & Claims data below is from USPTO Patent Application 20090118025, Variable morphology putting green for playing golf.

Brief Patent Description - Full Patent Description - Patent Application Claims
  monitor keywords BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a novel variable morphology putting green, specifically designed for playing golf.

The field of the invention is that of the variable morphology putting greens simulating, in an artificial manner, different experiences in putting operations on playing golf.

To that end are already known computer system controlled putting greens, which are so controlled to modify their morphology or pattern, starting from mechanical systems (usually cylinder and piston mechanisms), which prior systems have the disadvantage that they are very complex and require a difficult and expensive maintenance.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Thus, the aim of the present invention is to provide such a variable morphology putting green which is much more simple than like prior putting green systems, and which, moreover, can be recovered in a very simple and easy manner in a failure event.

According to one aspect of the invention, the above aim, as well as yet other objects, which will become more apparent hereinafter, are achieved by a putting green as claimed in claim 1.

Preferred embodiments of the invention are defined in the remaining claims.

With respect to prior putting greens, the inventive putting green provides the advantage that it is much more simple, owing to the provision of the plurality of inflatable cushion elements, or cushion elements adapted to be filled by highly pressurized fluids.

Moreover, the arrangement of the filling means of the cushion elements outside of the putting green body greatly facilitates the maintenance operations on said cushion elements.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The above mentioned aim and yet other objects, advantages and features will become more apparent hereinafter from the following detailed disclosure of a preferred embodiment of the invention, which is illustrated, by way of a non limitative example, in the accompanying drawings, where:

FIG. 1 is a schematic view showing the putting green according to the present invention, including related control systems for controlling the morphology or pattern of said putting green;

FIG. 2 shows a schematic diagram of a pressurizing-depressurizing system of a variable morphology putting green unit;

FIG. 3 shows a detail of a control system for filling-in a cushion element of the unit shown in FIG. 2;

FIG. 4 shows a modified embodiment of the unit shown in FIG. 2; and

FIG. 5 is a cross sectional view showing an example of a putting green made according to the present invention.
