EverTee design was when the idea was and designed. We could never afford to patent. This is because we thought that a great many pegs would have to be sold to recoup such an investment amounting to several hundred thousand dollars and up depending on the patent's scope.

The other day I read about Lars Eriksson, who has patented a spring-loaded peg-top. After a little research was done in 2006/06. The patent is now sold to an Italian company.

The article from the E24 makes Lars two sensible remarks (Inventions http://www.e24.se/ ... , accessed 2009-04-26):
- Then, I do not really know what happened to the tee, said Lars Eriksson. He points out that just innovations in consumer products is tricky.
- It may be the best product but it requires a lot of marketing and still do not know if it gets any of it. The following figure is taken from the article:

Override peg-top

I wonder if the patent on this tee is contrary to Everlast Tees designs. Protection of the design was applied in 2005/05 and was granted 2005/11.

A patent must be new to everyone and a novelty. I'm not going to bother me and dig into this. It would be interesting to look at the claims of the "non-locking peg." EverTee is a evighetspeg who also are retractive immovable with the help of the string which connects parts. In my opinion, EverTee be known as "prior art" for the spring-loaded golf tee which should rescind this patent.

My Pegg EverTee

I'm no expert on this. What do you think? Everlast Tees designs found in the PRV database with the application number 05-0354 and the registration number 78 725 and is become valid until 2010/05.

As a 16 year old student and industry it is natural that a company must produce a product, which we did. It was a evighetsspeg for Golf-angle. How could this be designed in as simple a manner as possible? Our budget was nonexistent, which made major constraints and opportunities limited.

Everlast Tees first prototype

We thought that ordinary pegs has two problems:

1. They fly away and be lost.
2. They break, usually in the hat or breaks in the shaft

The solution to the problem was tvådelningen, ie a shared peg with the during and top part which snapped together. The base remains in the ground and the top is hooked out. It always goes "off" for interconnection between the parts so that the rest of the tee is not deformed. A cord joins the parts so that the top is not to be lost and fly away. Our first prototype was made in the modeling clay with a standard push button in between (→). It worked pretty well, except that it went into the material. The mud was too brittle. A number of requirements were spread over the material and construction:

1. The material would be extremely durable and withstand large instantaneous strain
2. EverTee would be possible to mass produce at low unit cost
3. EverTee would meet current requirements from the Swedish golf courses, regarding the rules and environment

When I was 16 I went to ABB Industrial Gymnasium in Västerås. Traditionally, all students at the school participate in Young Enterprise . This is a competition between young entrepreneurs the chance to start a special type of firm, a UF business. A UF business operated for a year and special rules apply to profits and turnover. The basic idea is simple, to teach entrepreneurship and Youths

Daring to be their own

that is UF's slogan. More on UF can be found here !

I had early betämt me to make a serious UF years and thinking about ideas. In the summer vacation came to me as a light commercial life of the Golf-innovators still EverTee (not verbatim):

Golf-innovators still EverTee will develop and market a new type of peg, which neither must go to turn away or broken

After the idea was hatched, it was time to work to fulfill it. I had obviously no degree of relevant experience of any

EverTee

similar before, during the process, a variety of mistakes, which will be addressed in later items.

UF company was started after the summer of me and two friends at school. Of course it was mostly fixed before school (and I am thinking not only of the group but also on sponsorships, manufacturing, etc..) Started because I have a tendency to start on time.
