Remember the Golf Ball Gun from ?Fore Inventors Only? Fame?

By David Dawsey PE Esq

ADVERTISEMENTS
Ahh, the good old days?. Remember that crazy golf ball gun from the ?Fore Inventors Only? show that looked as if Stina broke her hand when she fired it? Here is my review from my prior post.

12) Golf Ball Launcher
Panel: packin?
The IP Golf Guy?s Evaluation:
Marketability: double bogey
Protectability: double bogey
Notes: The inventor mentioned that the device is ?patent pending,? so I thought I would check it out. Well, it is and the application has published as US Pub. No. 20060283433. It will be interesting to see if the application is granted a patent.

Frankly, I recall being surprised that he had a patent application filed on the launcher. So, imagine how surprised I was to see another patent application recently publish on the invention. The most recent application published as US Pub. No. 20080099004 titled ?Pressurized Air Shooting Device? and describes the invention as:

An air pressure gun to shoot a projectile, such as a golf ball, long distances using pressurized air. A flapper makes an airtight seal with an air duct to prevent air from leaking out of an air chamber. When a triggering mechanism releases the flapper, pressurized air from the air chamber can then swing the flapper open, thereby shooting the golf ball out of a barrel.

Perhaps these drawings will refresh your memory.

So, do you think this inventor will ever recoup his investment in two patent applications?

I have to admit that it would be kind of fun to take one of these out on the course; that is until the Ranger noticed and banned me from the course for life.
