The present embodiment relates generally to an apparatus and method for removing a golf ball cover.
The need to remove a cover from used golf balls is known for recycling purposes. U.S. Pat. No. 5,976,430 discloses a mechanism for removing a golf ball cover, including two roller gears. U.S. Pat. No. 6,833,098 shows a similar design for removing a golf ball cover.
However, there exists a need in the art for an improved method and apparatus for removing golf ball covers. Specifically, it would be advantageous have a machine that is capable of removing a golf ball cover efficiently and to allow for a seamless disposal of the golf ball core.
