A golf ball struck by a golfer is allowed to penetrate through the screen such that the struck golf ball disappears from view, thereby increasing the pleasance of golfing environments and a flying image of the golf ball is allowed to be displayed in the simulation image as the struck golf ball disappears from view, thereby further improving the realism of virtual golf, and wherein screen elements which constitute the penetration type screen are prevented from being opened even when golf balls repeatedly pass between the screen elements, thereby improving product reliability. To accomplish this, the penetration type screen includes a plurality of screen elements, each being formed of spandex, the plurality of screen elements being arranged side by side such that the screen elements at least partially overlap each other and are each inclined at a specific angle. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A penetration type screen for screen golf, the penetration type screen comprising: a plurality of screen elements, each being formed of spandex, the plurality of screen elements being arranged side by side such that the plurality of screen elements at least partially overlap each other and are each inclined at a specific angle. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The penetration type screen according to claim 1, wherein each of the plurality of screen elements is formed of a fire-retardant-processed spandex material. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The penetration type screen according to claim 1, wherein the plurality of screen elements is arranged such that light of a projector for projecting an image is directed toward side surfaces of overlapping portions of the screen elements. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The penetration type screen according to claim 1, further comprising a frame that supports the arrangement of the plurality of screen elements in which the plurality of screen elements overlap each other and are each inclined at a specific angle. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The penetration type screen according to claim 4, wherein the frame includes a support guide portion having a shape corresponding to the arrangement of the plurality of screen elements in which the plurality of screen elements overlap each other and are each inclined at a specific angle. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The penetration type screen according to claim 5, wherein the support guide portion includes: an inclined surface portion such that an inclined surface of each of the plurality of screen elements is secured to and supported by the inclined surface portion; and a riser that is formed between the inclined surface portion and another inclined surface portion. ### Claim 7 (depends on 4) The penetration type screen according to claim 4, wherein the frame includes: a first frame portion arranged at a front side of the plurality of screen elements; and a second frame portion corresponding to the first frame portion, the second frame portion being arranged at a rear side of the plurality of screen elements and being coupled to the first frame portion to support the plurality of screen elements. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The penetration type screen according to claim 7, wherein a first support guide portion having a shape corresponding to the arrangement of the plurality of screen elements in which the plurality of screen elements overlap each other and are each inclined at a specific angle is formed on the first frame portion and a second support guide portion having a shape corresponding to the arrangement of the plurality of screen elements in which the plurality of screen elements overlap each other and are each inclined at a specific angle is formed on the second frame portion, and the first frame portion and the second frame portion are coupled to each other such that the first support guide portion and the second support guide portion support the arrangement of the plurality of screen elements. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The penetration type screen according to claim 8, wherein the first support guide portion includes: a first inclined surface portion such that an inclined front surface of each of the plurality of screen elements is secured to and supported by the first inclined surface portion; and a first riser that is formed at an end portion of the first inclined surface portion such that one side surface of each of the plurality of screen elements is secured to and supported by the first riser, and the second support guide portion includes: a second inclined surface portion such that an inclined rear surface of each of the plurality of screen elements is secured to and supported by the second inclined surface portion; and a second riser that is formed at an end portion of the second inclined surface portion such that another side surface of each of the plurality of screen elements is secured to and supported by the second riser. ### Claim 10 (depends on 4) The penetration type screen according to claim 4, wherein the frame is constructed by coupling a plurality of sub-frames, each being provided to support part of the plurality of screen elements. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The penetration type screen according to claim 10, wherein each of the sub-frames includes: a first sub-frame portion arranged at a front side of the plurality of screen elements; and a second sub-frame portion corresponding to the first sub-frame portion, the second sub-frame portion being arranged at a rear side of the plurality of screen elements and being coupled to the first sub-frame portion to support the plurality of screen elements. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The penetration type screen according to claim 11, wherein a first support guide portion having a shape corresponding to the arrangement of the plurality of screen elements in which the plurality of screen elements overlap each other and are each inclined at a specific angle is formed on the first sub-frame portion and a second support guide portion having a shape corresponding to the arrangement of the plurality of screen elements in which the plurality of screen elements overlap each other and are each inclined at a specific angle is formed on the second sub-frame portion, and the first sub-frame portion and the second sub-frame portion are coupled to each other such that the first support guide portion and the second support guide portion support the arrangement of the plurality of screen elements. ### Claim 13 (depends on 11) The penetration type screen according to claim 11, wherein an end portion of the first sub-frame portion of the sub-frame and an end portion of the second sub-frame portion of another sub-frame are arranged respectively at front and rear sides of a screen element, facing each other, such that the end portion of the first sub-frame portion and the end portion of the second sub-frame portion are coupled to each other.
