[0001] This Application claims priority to and the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2005-0095202, filed Oct. 11, 2005. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] 1. Field of the Invention [0003] The present invention relates to a portable case for a golf ball equipped with a heat generating device, and more particularly, to a portable case for a golf ball equipped with a heat generating device mounted therein integrally, so that a golf ball can maintain its flexibility and elasticity, and a player can be kept warm even during a round of golf in the cold of wintertime. [0004] 2. Background Art [0005] In general, it is well known that during play, the distance a golf ball travels may differ according to the external environment and the temperature of a golf ball itself. Particularly, a decrease in temperature of a golf ball reduces its resilience, which leads to a reduction on its the flight distance when struck. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0006] Accordingly, the present invention has been made in view of the above problems occurring in the prior art, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a portable case for a golf ball equipped with a heat generating device, in which resilience of the golf ball itself can be maintained even in the cold wintertime, thereby increasing the flight distance when hitting a tee-shot. [0007] Another object of the present invention is to provide a portable case for a golf ball equipped with a heat generating device, in which a golfer's body can be kept warm so as to be maintained in a good condition at all times. [0008] In order to accomplish the above objects, according to the present invention, there is provided a portable case for a golf ball equipped with a heat generating device, which comprises: a lid; a cylindrical body made of a metal material and opened at the top and bottom ends thereof, the cylindrical body having an accommodating zone defined therein, the accommodating zone being partitioned into a first accommodating space and a second accommodating space by a thin plate made of a metal material, the first accommodating space being adapted to receive a golf ball therein and a second accommodating space being adapted to receive a heat source therein so as to provide resilience to the golf ball, and having a plurality of vent holes formed on the outer circumferential wall of a lower portion thereof correspondingly to the second accommodating space for communicating with the second accommodating space; and a heat supply device detachably fit into the lower end of the cylindrical body, for supplying heat generated by combusting fuel by means of air introduced through the plurality of vent holes to the second accommodating space so as to allow the golf ball received in the first accommodating space to be maintained in its proper temperature. [0009] Preferably, the thin plate may be formed in either a hemi-spherical or flat shape, and has a plurality of holes formed thereon. [0010] The heat supply device includes: a first fuel storage tank formed of a unitary body structure and having an injecting port formed protrudingly on the top surface of an upper portion having an outer diameter equal to or smaller than the inner diameter of the cylindrical body, so that the first fuel storage tank is detachably fit into the bottom end of the cylindrical body to be fixed thereto, the first fuel storage tank having a fuel filling member built therein for filling liquid-phase fuel therein via the injecting port; a first flame cap formed of a cap-shaped structure opened at the top and bottom portion thereof and partially at a lateral side thereof, the first flame cap being detachably coupled to the upper portion of the injecting port of the first fuel storage tank so as to communicate with the inside of the first fuel storage tank and having a wick built therein for combusting the vaporized fuel which is generated from the fuel filled in the fuel filling member and is supplied thereto; and an extinguishing cap detachably coupled to the upper portion of the first flame cap for extinguishing the flame of the wick. [0011] The first flame cap may further include a fixing frame for fixing the wick inside thereof. [0012] Furthermore, the wick may be made of asbestos coated with platinum. [0013] The heat supply device includes: a second fuel storage tank formed of a unitary body structure body hermetically sealed and having an outer diameter equal to or smaller than the inner diameter of the cylindrical body, so that the second fuel storage tank is detachably fit into the bottom end of the cylindrical body to be fixed thereto, the second fuel storage tank having a discharging valve mounted in the upper portion thereof for discharging the liquefied gas filled therein, and a liquefied gas filling valve mounted in the lower portion thereof; and a second flame cap having a plurality of through-holes formed thereon, and detachably coupled to the upper portion of the second fuel storage tank so that the discharging valve for discharging the combustion gas is pressurized to be opened. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS [0014] The above and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will be apparent from the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which: [0015] FIG. 1 is a perspective view illustrating the outer appearance of a portable case for a golf ball according to a first embodiment of the present invention; [0016] FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of the FIG. 1.; [0017] FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along the I-I line of the FIG. 1 except a lid shown in the FIG. 1; [0018] FIG. 4 is a view showing an operating state of the present invention; [0019] FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a portable case for a golf ball according to a second embodiment of the present invention, as seen from the same direction as that of FIG. 3; and [0020] FIG. 6 is a magnified view of the "A" part in the FIG. 5.
