GOLF BALL Filed July 6, 1932 ATTO RN EYS Patented May 28, 1935 UNITED STATES rooms PATENT OFFICE GOLF BALL Leonard A. Young, Detroit, Mich.
Application July 6, 1932, Serial No. 621,068
1 Claim.
The present invention pertains to a novel golf ball and is directed particularly to the markings on the surface thereof. At present, there are two conventional types of markings, namely the mesh or square depression and the dimple or recess which is a round concave marking. The object of the mesh or square depression is to define straight-line circular bands around the ball, so that the ball rolls in a straight line after falling to the ground. This marking is believed to split the wind in flight or, in other words, to resist the tendency to deviate from a straight course. These depressions are of a box-like formation, and are subject to the objection that the lateral walls constitute surfaces which are exposed to wind resistance which slows down the ball.
The dimple mark is intended to minimize the wind resistance inasmuch as it has no straight walls, but this marking lacks the straight rolling and straight flight feature of the square mesh because the round concave depressions do not form the straight-line circular bands which are characteristic of the square mesh.
The object of the present invention is to provide a marking which combines the advantageous properties of both conventional markings and yet overcomes their objections as above described.
This object is accomplished, generally, by incorporating the important structural characteristics of the mesh and dimple markings in a single marking or, in other words, retaining the circular band formation for true rolling and flight and forming the walls of the depressions in a manner to minimize the wind resistance thereto. Accordingly, the outline of each depression is rectangular on the surface of the ball to provide straight-line bands, and the walls are sloped or concaved toward a central bottom point for the purpose of minimizing wind resistance.
The invention is fully disclosed by way of example in the following description and in the accompanying drawing, in which- Figure 1 is a projection of a surface marking of a golf ball marked in accord with this invention;
Figs. 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 are sectional views along the curved lines 2-2, 33, 4-4, 5-5 and 6-6 In Fig. 7 is illustrated a golf ball I having spaced indentations 2 in its surface located in the same manner as the markings of the conventional mesh ball. The depressions appear square in plan, having surface edges 3 which are straight except for the curvature of the ball. These edges will hereinafter be described as straight, by which it is meant that corresponding edges of adjacent depressions are aligned to form circles around the ball. The depressions are aligned in parallel and perpendicular circles and are spaced apart, preferably equally on all sides, whereby the spaces therebetween constitute two sets of parallel bands 4 and 5 intersecting each other at right angles. These bands cause the ball to roll straight on striking the ground and also split the wind in flight so that the tendency toward deflection is opposed. The surface area of the depressions and the width of the bands are determined by the surface area of cover to be contacted by the head of the golf club in striking, for proper stroke and delivery of power to the ball.
The wall of each depression is concave from any point on any edge through the point of greatest depth to any point on any other edge. This condition is illustrated in Figs. 3, 4, 5 and 6 which show concave curves 6, 6a, 6b transversely across the bottom of the depression and also a concave curve 1' diagonally of the bottom. Since each of the sections illustrated in Figs. 2 to 6 inclusive are taken through the center of the depression the depth d is the same in each instance. The distance from the point of greatest depth to the sides of the enclosing rectangle is known or can be ascertained from Figs. 1 and 7,-three points are thus found. An arc of a circle may be drawn through any three points not in a straight line and hence the construction of the entire surface depression is one of simple geometry. The sections of Figs. 2 and 6 are the shortest and longest arcs respectively and hence involve the shortest and longest radii respectively. The sections of Figs. 3, 4 and. 5 are any other sections.
Another objectionto the dimple marking is that in a dimple marked ball the area of the smooth, flat, undepressed surface is about sixteen times the corresponding area of a square mesh ball. This smooth flat surface is an area of resistance which is subject to wind resistance of the ball during flight. The mesh ball has a smaller ratio of smooth surface to depressed surface and is less subject to wind resistance than the dimple marked ball. As already indicated, the mesh marking has the disadvantage of causing compression or congestion of air at the radial walls, whereby the flight of the ball is retarded.
The marking according to the present invention removes also the aforementioned disadvantage of the dimple marking with respect to wind resistance without, however, introducing the air compression effect of the usual mesh marking. Either marking of this invention described above has no radial wall and no flat bottom to cause compression or congestion of air. In either case the wall slopes gradually inward to a center bottom point so that there is an unimpeded flow of air into and out of the depressions Without producing wind resistance or retardation of the ball.-
It will now be evident that the novel markings described herein provide the straight circular bands on the surface which are desired for true flight and straight rolling. On the other hand,
the objectionable lateral walls of the ordinary square mesh marking are replaced by a wall which slopes or merges toward a central bottom point, so that the minimized Wind resistance of the dimple marking is retained. Either of the novel markings described herein combines the advantages of the usual mesh and dimple markings and eliminates their objectionable features.
Although specific embodiments of the invention have been illustrated and described, it will be apparent that various alterations in the details of construction may be made without departing from the scope of the invention as indicated by the appended claim. I l i What I claim is:
A golf ball having a series of spaced'surface depressions, said depressions each having a rounded bottom and curved sidewalls, said side- Walls continuing on an unbroken curve from said base to the surface of said ball and terminating in a polygonal configuration at said surface.

A formal farewell at Brunswick Naval Air Station
BRUNSWICK — The Navy bid farewell last week to decades in the sky above Maine.
Navy brass, including nearly a dozen admirals, participated in a 90-minute ceremony meant to give closure to the work of thousands of men and women: mechanics, clerks, radio operators, engineers and pilots. It also meant goodbye.
"You accept us and make us feel at home," said Capt. James Hoke, the last commander of Patrol and Reconnaissance Wing Five. The final planes are scheduled to fly away immediately after Thanksgiving. Next March, Hoke's air wing will be dismantled as part of the base's closure.
The ceremony couldn't wait until then.
"The runways would be closed," Hoke said. "No one would be left to do the ceremony. And no one would attend."
The base, which includes the Navy's last active duty airfield in the Northeast, is already a shadow of its former self. Three years ago, the wing's personnel topped 4,000 people and 40 or more planes filled the hangars here.
On Aug. 27, there were fewer than 700 people and three planes.
"This is our last hurrah," said John James, public affairs director for Patrol Wing Five. "There's nothing else."
The 11 a.m. ceremony included much of the Navy's pomp and circumstance, with a brass band, a red carpet and a boatswain's pipe announcing the arrival of VIPs including U.S. Reps. Michael Michaud and Chellie Pingree.
"You will be missed here in Maine," Pingree said.
Officers told stories of the Cold War years, when Brunswick planes chased and tracked Soviet submarines by dropping sonar buoys onto the ocean's surface and listening from a few hundred feet above. Meanwhile, they trained for deployment to Iceland, Sicily, Spain, Puerto Rico and the Azores.
Rather than hunting subs, today's P-3 squadrons are doing reconnaissance work over dry land. Air crews from Brunswick are now serving in the Middle East. The local base's last squadron, VP-26, is scheduled to go there in November.
Ret. Adm. John Roberts, who commanded Wing Five from 1993 until 1995, said he will miss the slow, propeller-driven planes flying overhead.
"Today is bittersweet," he said. Nine of Patrol Wing Five's 19 prior commanders, known as commodores, were present at the ceremony. "I'm seeing many friends I have not seen in a long time. But this doesn't feel right."
Hoke, who is on his third tour of duty in Brunswick, said he, too, will find it unsettling to see an empty sky. Until the past year, there was continuously five planes overhead during daylight hours.
"The base is really winding down," he said.
To host the ceremony, Hoke's office reopened a mothballed section of a $34 million hangar. The hangar had been under construction in 2005, when the Base Realignment and Closure Commission ordered the base to be closed.
Ret. Adm. Harry Rich, who fought the commission in 1995 and 2005 in an effort to preserve the Brunswick base, said he was saddened that the event was ever needed.
"The base has been a vital link in the defense of the U.S.," said Rich, who served in the 1980s as the commander of all P-3 Orions on the East Coast.
"I feel betrayed," Rich said. "The BRAC commission let us down."
The base is due to close entirely by May 2011.

Moen's research (published in six books as well as in leading academic journals) focuses on careers, families, gender, aging, and health over the life course. She is especially interested in work-related status transitions and trajectories as they play out in particular historical, community, corporate, and policy contexts. Moen's recent scholarship addresses the mismatch between work and retirement rules and regulations, on the one hand, and characteristics of the new workforce and the new, growing, retired force, on the other.
The Alfred P. Sloan Foundation and the National Institute on Aging have funded the bulk of her scholarship. Moen just published It's about Time: Couples and Careers (Cornell University Press, 2003). Two other volumes are in the works: The Career Mystique (Rowman and Littlefield) and Uncertain Futures: Sustaining Dual Couples in a New Risk Economy.
Phyllis Moen's Athenaeum lecture is sponsored by the Berger Institute for Work, Family, and Children at Claremont McKenna College.
