JP 2009-273748 A JP 2008-0668069 A

  Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 describe a handle and a handle that are gripped when the head cover is removed from the club. By grasping and pulling a handle made of hard material or a belt-like handle, the force in the extraction direction is reliably transmitted to the head cover. That is, the handle or belt-shaped handle made of a hard material has a shape, size and hardness suitable for being firmly grasped by hand. For this reason, it is convenient that the head cover is easily pulled out only by a simple pulling operation.

  On the other hand, when the head cover extracted by such a simple operation is placed on the ground, the operation of picking up the head cover after a shot may be physically burdensome or forget to pick it up. Since the material constituting the handle and handle described above is hard or thick and belt-like, it is impossible to hold the head cover on the player's body using the handle or handle. Furthermore, if it is a hard handle or a belt-like handle, these will protrude from the head cover. For this reason, the bag cover that covers the club head of the caddy bag must be enlarged by the above-described amount of protrusion, resulting in an increase in the caddy bag, which is disadvantageous in terms of carrying.

  The present invention has been provided to solve the above-described problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a golf club head cover that can be easily held on the player's body and can be held without discomfort.

  The invention according to claim 1 is a head cover of a golf club, characterized in that a flexible and slender latching member is attached to a head housing portion in which a golf club head is housed.

  Since a flexible and slender latching member is attached to the head housing part, the latching member can be hooked on a member with a hook function attached to the player's waist belt. The operation of picking up the head cover is eliminated, and the physical burden is reduced. Further, since the player plays with the head cover held on the player's body, the head cover can be prevented from being left behind. Furthermore, since the latching member is made of a flexible and elongated material, the latching member is inserted into the inside of the waist belt and held on the body without using a member having a hook function as described above. It is also possible. The effects as described above can be reliably obtained not only in the driver head cover and the fairway wood head cover but also in the putter head cover.

  Further, since the latching member is made of a flexible and elongated material, when the club is inserted into the caddy bag, the latching member is in close contact with the head cover. Space can be minimized, which is convenient.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a shaft accommodating portion in which a shaft of a golf club is accommodated in the head accommodating portion, and the latching member is attached to a top portion of the head accommodating portion. It is a head cover of a golf club.

  Normally, the head cover made of synthetic leather or the like is heavier than the shaft cover made of knit or the like, so when the retaining member is fastened to the waist belt or the like, the shaft storage part hangs down from the head storage part. It becomes a form. At this time, the heavy head housing part is located on the upper side, and the light shaft housing part is located on the lower side. No discomfort or anxiety. Since the heavy head housing is located close to the body, there is very little shaking and there is no sense of incongruity or concern during play.

  A third aspect of the invention is the golf club head cover according to the first or second aspect, wherein a hook member is attached to the latching member.

  By hooking the hook member on the waist belt of the player, the head cover can be easily and reliably held on the body.

It is the perspective view and partial sectional view of the whole head cover or part. It is a side view of the head cover hold | maintained at the player. It is a perspective view which shows another example. It is a perspective view of a hook member.

  Next, a mode for carrying out the head cover of the golf club of the present invention will be described.

  1 to 4 show an embodiment of the present invention.

  First, the entire head cover will be described.

  A head cover 1 shown in FIG. 1 is for a driver or fairway wood. The head accommodating portion 2 is made of a material such as synthetic leather, and is obtained by stitching together an upper member 3, an intermediate member 4 and a lower member 5 cut into a predetermined shape. The head housing portion 2 suitable for the shape of the club head is configured by such a stitching structure.

  As shown in FIG. 1B, the stitching structure of the upper member 3, the middle member 4 and the lower member 5 includes a stitched portion 3A in which the peripheral portion of the upper member 3 is folded inward and the peripheral portion of the middle member 4 on the inner side. The decorative ball edge 6 is sandwiched between the stitched portion 4A folded back, and the three members of the stitched portion 3A, the stitched portion 4A, and the ball edge 6 are stitched together. This stitching portion is denoted by reference numeral 7 and a sewing thread is illustrated.

  The shaft accommodating portion 9 is a cylindrical member joined to the lower end of the head accommodating portion 2 and has elasticity so that the head can pass therethrough. The shaft housing 9 is optimally made of knit. Since the head accommodating portion 2 is made of a material such as synthetic leather that is not easily torn to prevent the club head from being damaged, its mass is larger than that of the shaft accommodating portion 9. It has become.

  Next, the latching member will be described.

  For example, a flexible slender string made of a synthetic fiber made of polyamide or a latching member 10 obtained by cutting soft natural leather into a string shape is attached to the head accommodating portion 2. Here, it is a string made of synthetic fiber. Hereinafter, the latching member 10 may be expressed as a string 10.

  The upper surface portion of the head accommodating portion 2 is a top portion 11 and has a slightly curved upper surface shape. The both ends of the string 10 are coupled to the edge of the top portion 11. As shown in FIG. 1 (A), the best attachment location of the string 10 is the front portion of the top portion 11 (the left edge portion in FIG. 1 (A)). Both ends of the string 10 are sewn together at the stitching portion 7. The string 10 has an appropriate slack as shown in FIG. 1 (A) in order to be easily hooked to a member having a hook function attached to the waist belt of the player.

  The string 10 shown in FIG. 1A has a slack shape that is inflated to the front side. On the other hand, the string 10 shown in FIG. 3C has a slack shape that is inflated upward.

  Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 1 (D), the end portion of the string 10 is brought close to the front end portion of the top portion 11 and sewed, and is inflated to the front side in a ring shape. That is, it has a string shape like a scoop type.

  Next, the holding state of the head cover will be described.

  FIG. 2A shows a state where the head cover 1 is held by the player. A member 13 having a hook function, that is, a locking member 13 is attached to the waist belt 12. Various structures of the locking member 13 are conceivable, but here is an example in which a flat plate is bent. Synthetic resin can be molded into a bent shape, but here, an aluminum plate is bent.

  The locking member 13 includes an insertion portion 14 having a U-shaped cross section that opens downward, and a hook piece 15 that extends upward from a lower portion of the insertion portion 14. The locking member 13 is mounted so that the waist belt 12 enters the inner space of the insertion portion 14. In this state, the slack string 10 is inserted between the hook piece 15 and the insertion portion 14 to be hooked.

  By hooking in this way, the front end portion of the head accommodating portion 2 hits the player's buttocks (buttock portion) 16 and the shaft accommodating portion 9 is in a suspended state. Reference numeral 17 denotes the rear part of the player's thigh.

  It is also possible to attach the string 10 so as to cross the vicinity of the center of the top 11 as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG.

  It is also possible to hold the head cover 1 by increasing the slack length of the string 10 so as to be sandwiched between the waist belt 12 and the body.

  Next, other examples will be described.

  FIG. 3 shows the case of the head cover of a putter head. A latching member 10 is attached in the vicinity of the end of the upper member 3 of the head cover 1. The string 10 here is constituted by a flexible and elongated band-like member, and both ends thereof are fastened to the vicinity of the end of the upper member 3 by the hooks 18, that is, near the front end of the upper member 3. Reference numeral 19 denotes a shaft coupled to the putter head. The other configuration is the same as that of the previous example including a portion not shown, and the same reference numerals are described for members having similar functions.

  Next, another hook structure will be described.

  In the previous case, the locking member 13 is attached to the waist belt 12. In this case, a member corresponding to the locking member 13 is arranged on the string 10 side. An insertion part 21 having a through hole is provided at the lower part of the hook part 20 opened downward, and the string 10 passes therethrough. A component constituted by the hook member 20 and the insertion portion 21 is a hook member 22.

  The hook portion 20 is hooked on the waist belt 12, and the head cover is held in the same manner as in the holding state shown in FIG.

  The operational effects of the embodiment described above are as follows.

  Since the flexible elongate latching member 10, that is, the string 10 is attached to the head accommodating portion 2, the hook 10 is attached to the player's waist belt 12, that is, the locking member 13 is attached to the string 10. Can be hooked, the operation of bending the upper body and picking up the head cover 1 on the ground is eliminated, and the physical burden is reduced. In addition, since the player plays with the head cover 1 held on the player's body, the head cover 1 can be prevented from being left behind. Further, since the latching member 10 is made of a flexible elongated material, the latching member 10 is inserted into the waist belt without using the member 13 having the hook function as described above. It is also possible to hold it. The effects as described above can be reliably obtained not only in the driver head cover and the fairway wood head cover but also in the putter head cover.

  Further, since the latching member 10 is made of a flexible and elongated material, when the club is inserted into the caddy bag, the latching member 10 is in close contact with the head cover 1, and therefore the latching is performed. The space for the working member 10 can be minimized, which is convenient.

  A shaft housing portion 9 in which a shaft of a golf club is housed is joined to the head housing portion 2, and the latching member 10 is attached to the top portion 11 of the head housing portion 2.

  Normally, the head cover 1 is heavier in the head housing portion 2 made of synthetic leather or the like than the shaft housing portion 9 made of knit or the like, and therefore when the latching member 10 is fastened to the waist belt 12 or the like, the head housing portion 2 As a result, the shaft accommodating portion 9 hangs down. At this time, since the heavy head accommodating portion 2 is located on the upper side and the light shaft accommodating portion 9 is located on the lower side, even if the light shaft accommodating portion 9 is swung, it is in contact with the rear portion 17 of the thigh. There is no sense of incongruity or concern during play. Since the heavy head accommodating part 2 is located in the place close | similar to a body, it shakes very little and there is no sense of incongruity or anxiety during a play.

  A hook member 22 is attached to the latching member 10.

  By hooking the hook member 22 on the waist belt 12 of the player, the head cover 1 can be easily and reliably held on the body.

  As described above, the present invention is a golf club head cover that can be easily held on the player's body and can be held without any sense of incongruity. Therefore, it can be widely used as golf equipment without bending over and misplaced.
