Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for protecting a putter face surface and a protective cover for the putter face surface, which can surely protect the face surface of a putter head, and can be worn and removed very easily. In addition, various PR display effects can be obtained.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional putter cover has a shape that completely covers the entire head including a face and a root portion of a shaft. Generally, the base is made of a synthetic material such as synthetic fiber or synthetic leather and the inner surface is fluffy and made of a soft material. It is.

[0003]

Generally, a putter head is relatively soft even if the face surface is made of metal.
If left uncovered, it will be easily damaged when it comes into contact with other objects. That is, at a golf course, the golf cart is put together in a cylindrical putter of a cart and moved. In this case, if the cover is always worn on the putter head, it will not hurt, but as the round progresses, it becomes troublesome to remove the cover one by one when using putter, and just keep the cover removed Often there is. This is because the conventional putter cover is a cap type that covers the entire head including the face surface and the root part of the shaft, and because the inner surface is made of soft material, it is quite bulky and the storing operation is troublesome. It is.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, the present invention is provided to eliminate the above-mentioned conventional problems and to achieve the object of the invention. According to a first aspect of the present invention, in a method for protecting a putter face, a putter head is covered from one end of an opening of a tubular main body made of a stretchable material having a slightly smaller diameter than the circumference of the putter head. The face of the putter head is covered so that it does not fall off by using the expansion and contraction effect of the cylindrical body, and the logo of the golf course playing and the name of the course to be rounded are displayed on a part of the surface of the cylindrical body. Or other necessary items.

[0005] A second aspect of the present invention is to provide a protective cover for a putter face, wherein a cylindrical body is formed of a stretchable material so as to cover at least the face of the putter body.

A third aspect of the present invention is the putter face protective cover according to the first aspect of the present invention, in which a part of the surface of the cylindrical main body represents a golf course name, a course name, an organizer name, a company name, a product name, and the like. A display unit is provided.

A fourth aspect of the present invention is the putter face protective cover according to the first or second aspect of the present invention, wherein a cut is made in a part of the entire length of the cylindrical main body, and the cut is formed as necessary. A stopper is provided at the end.

[0008]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS In the figures, reference numeral 1 denotes a cylindrical main body having both ends open, which is made of a knit, rubber, or synthetic resin-based stretchable material, and whose cylindrical diameter is slightly smaller than the circumference of the putter. Molding. Reference numeral 2 denotes a display portion formed at a portion of the cylindrical main body, preferably at a position located on the flat face surface P '(FIG. 1).
Displays the name and brand name of the organizer, manufacturer, organization, company, product, etc. The display surface may be formed at a position opposite to the face surface P (FIGS. 2 and 3), and may be formed on both surfaces thereof. 2 ′ is a golf course name formed on a part of the tubular main body 1 in the same manner as the display section 2;
It is a display section for a course name, an organizer name, a manufacturer name, an organization name, a company name, a product name, and the like. Reference numeral 3 denotes a notch formed in a part of the tubular main body 1, which is applied to a T-shape. Reference numeral 4 denotes a stopper provided at an end of a cut formed in a part of the cylindrical main body, and an arbitrary member such as a hook-and-loop fastener is used. In the figure, P is a putter, the head of which is a pin type in the first example,
The second example shows a kamaboko type, and the third example shows a T-shape. In any of the above cases, it is more desirable that the shape of the cylindrical main body 1 be formed in a prototype that conforms to the shape of the putter head according to the outer shape of the putter head.

[0009]

[Specific use example] The use method of the present invention is as follows. The first example is an opening 1 ′ at one end of an elastic tubular main body 1.
To the tip of the pin-type putter, and insert it to the root of the shaft and wear it. In the second example, the opening 1 ′ at one end of the cylindrical main body 1 is placed at the tip of the kamaboko type, and is fitted to the root of the shaft and worn. In the third example, the opening 1 'at one end of the cylindrical body 1 on the side of the cut 3 is placed at the tip of the T-shaped putter, and the cut is fitted to the root of the shaft and worn.

[0010]

As described above, according to the present invention, the protective cover of the putter head is made of a material whose tubular body is freely expandable and contractable. Sometimes it fits tightly and protects the face. And since the cylindrical main body is small and the material is thin, it is not bulky and can be easily put in a shirt pocket as well as pants, so that it is easy to take out and convenient. Furthermore, the putter head protective cover product of the present invention is easy, bulky and inexpensive to manufacture.
Therefore, many of them can be provided at golf courses,
If the caddy always carries it and the player forgets to put on his putter cover, the caddy may wear it instead of the player and put it in the putter case. It does not hurt even if it comes into contact with the player, and is trusted and useful by the player, and is useful as a face protective cover for this type of putter head. In the case of a T-shaped protective cover, by providing a stopper on the base side of the putter head, it is possible to prevent the opening from expanding due to the cut.
