CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

This U.S. non-provisional patent application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. § 119 to Chinese patent application 202011506407.3, filed on Dec. 18, 2020, in the China National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA), the entire disclosure of which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The patent disclosure relates to a golf ball equipment, and more particularly, to a golf ball scriber.

DISCUSSION OF THE RELATED ART

Golf is a popular sport and golf players depend on scribed lines on a spherical surface of a golf ball to make precise and high-quality shots. A golf ball scribing device or a line marker may be used to scribe or mark lines on the spherical surface of the golf ball. Additionally, ink used to scribe lines should be dried fast and water cannot easily scrub such ink.

Existing golf ball scribing devices do not include an ink pen or a brush device for scribing. For example, a user carries both a golf ball scribing device and a separate ink pen, which is used to mark lines on the golf ball. This is not convenient for the user and the ink pen may be easily misplaced. Additionally, ink pen may be easily dried up without proper sealing mechanisms and the service lifetime of the ink pen is thus decreased.

SUMMARY

One or more embodiments of the present disclosure provide a golf ball scriber that integrates a brush device, which also has an increased sealing performance. As a result, a pen nib of the brush device is maintained wet due to the increased sealing performance and the brush device has a relatively long service duration.
