  • Patent number: 4655453
    Abstract: An improved place kicking tee which includes a first side having a recess therein with the configuration similar to that of the end of an oblate spheroidal football, which recess is specifically designed to support a football in an upright position while enabling the football to be kicked out of the recess with substantially no adverse forces being imposed upon the football by the recess. When the tee is flipped over to its opposite face, it may be used as a field goal block with the ball being held thereon by a person's finger or alternatively being supported thereon by foldable leg portions which when not in use fold into the surface thereof. The surface including the recess includes one set of support legs which are pivotally related thereto so that the opposite face may be elevated off the ground at a level of two inches with the legs open and one inch with the legs folded in a closed position.
