Sealed golf ball with remotely activated audible sound generator powered by an electromagnetically rechargeable battery
First Claim
1. A sealed golf ball with remotely activated audible sound generator powered by an electromagnetically rechargeable battery, said sealed golf ball comprising:
- a) a golf ball;
b) a shock absorber contained in said golf ball;
c) a coil-shaped miniature receiver antenna contained in said golf ball, and receiving a first signal;
d) a miniature wireless receiver contained in said golf ball, being in electrical communication with, and receiving said first signal from, said coil-shaped miniature receiver antenna, and generating a second signal in response thereto;
e) an audible acoustic generator contained in said golf ball, being in electrical communication with said miniature wireless receiver, receiving said second signal from said miniature wireless receiver, and generating a series of audible beeps through said golf ball, and out into the ambient for hearing by a person seeking said golf ball;
f) a rechargeable micro-battery contained in said golf ball, and being in electrical communication with, and powering, said miniature wireless receiver and said audible acoustic generator;
g) a transmitter housing for carrying by said person seeking to locate said golf ball;
h) a wireless transmitter contained in said transmitter housing, and selectively generating said first signal;
i) a transmitter antenna disposed on said transmitter housing, being in electrical communication with said wireless transmitter, and transmitting said first signal; and
j) a switch disposed on said transmitter housing, and being in electrical communication with said wireless transmitter, and when activated, causing said wireless transmitter to generate said first signal and said transmitter antenna to transmit said first signal, which is received by said coil-shaped miniature receiver antenna, which sends said first signal to said miniature wireless receiver, which sends said second signal to said audible acoustic generator, which generates said series of audible beeps, which provides an audible trail to said golf ball to be located.

Abstract
A sealed golf ball that includes a golf ball, a shock absorber, a coil-shaped miniature receiver antenna in the golf ball receives a first signal, a miniature wireless receiver in the golf ball receives the first signal and generates a second signal in response thereto, an audible acoustic generator in the golf ball receives the second signal and generates a series of audible beeps in response thereto, through the golf ball, and out into the ambient for hearing by a person seeking the golf ball, a rechargeable micro-battery in the golf ball powers the miniature wireless receiver and the audible acoustic generator, a wireless transmitter is carried by the person seeking to locate the golf ball, and selectively generates the first signal, a transmitter antenna transmits the first signal, and a switch when activated, causes the wireless transmitter to generate the first signal and the transmitter antenna to transmit the first signal, which is received by the coil-shaped miniature receiver antenna, which sends the first signal to the miniature wireless receiver, which sends the second signal to the audible acoustic generator, which generates the series of audible beeps, which provides an audible trail to the golf ball to be located.
