Abstract

A holding device includes a plate member, a hanging piece secured on a rear side of the plate member, and several fastening and supporting mechanisms secured on a front side of the plate member; the holding device is hung on a user's belt by means of inserting the hanging piece in between the belt and the user's waist; each of the fastening and supporting mechanisms includes a fastening member, and a supporting member; the fastening member includes a secured ring, and a fastening loop, which is held in the secured ring, and elastic, expandable and compressible, for passing onto an annular groove of a golf tee; the supporting member includes an external bearing seat, an elastic element located in the external bearing seat, and an internal bearing seat joined to the elastic element and held in the external bearing seat in a movable manner.

1 . A device for holding golf tees, comprising 
 a plate member; and    a plurality of fastening and supporting mechanisms secured on a front side of the plate member; each of the fastening and supporting mechanisms including:    a fastening member; the fastening member having a secured ring; the fastening member having a fastening loop held in the secured ring; the fastening loop being elastic, expandable and compressible; and    a supporting member; the supporting member having an external bearing seat; the supporting member having an elastic element located in the external bearing seat; the supporting member having an internal bearing seat joined to the elastic element and held in the external bearing seat in a movable manner.    
   
   
       2 . The golf tee holding device as claimed in  claim 1  further having a hanging piece, which is elastic and secured on a rear side of the plate member at an upper end thereof; an upper end portion of the hanging piece being substantially bent into a semi-loop shape; a middle portion of the hanging piece being curved towards the plate member such that the middle portion of the hanging piece normally touches the rear side of the plate member, and a lower end of the hanging piece is apart from the plate member.  
   
   
       3 . The golf tee holding device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the secured ring has a step-shaped through hole while a step-shaped pressed element is joined to the fastening loop, and projects outwards through the step-shaped through hole of the secured ring; an inner end portion of the step-shaped through hole being wider than an outer end portion of the step-shaped through hole; an inner end portion of the pressed element being wider than an outer end portion of the pressed element.  
   
   
       4 . The golf tee holding device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein width of the fastening loop is no greater than diameter of a middle portion of a tee, on which a groove is formed, such that the fastening loop will pass onto the groove to fasten the tee; length of the fastening loop being greater than the diameter of the middle portion of the tee, on which the groove is formed.  
   
   
       5 . The golf tee holding device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the elastic element of the supporting member is a spring.  
   
   
       6 . The golf tee holding device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein both the fastening member and the supporting member of each fastening and supporting mechanism are secured on a same thin plate, and the thin plate is secured on the plate member.  
   
   
       7 . The golf tee holding device as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein the supporting member is connected to the thin plate at the external bearing seat thereof.
