FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view showing a state in which the cover is folded.

First, referring to FIG. 1, a plurality of golf clubs 2 are inserted into insertion space 1a of golf bag 1 indicated by a two-dot chain line, and each head 2a protrudes from insertion space 1a. Has been made. The ring-shaped body portion 10 of the golf club head protector according to the present invention is arranged so as to surround a region including the bundle of the heads 2a of the plurality of golf clubs 2 protruding from the insertion space 1a, and is expanded. I have. The heads 2a are fixed so as not to move by the expanded ring-shaped body 10. A hand air pump 20 for injecting air into the ring-shaped body 10 is stored in a pocket (not shown) of the golf bag 1 except when the air is injected.

Referring to FIGS. 2 to 4, the ring-shaped body 10 is made of a soft material such as a plastic film, and includes a region including the head 2 a of the golf club 2, for example, the difference between the golf bag 1 and the golf club 2. It is a trunk having a constant width that can surround a region protruding from the insertion space 1a from the periphery. In the ring-shaped body portion 10, bulging portions 11 which expand and contract so as to expand and contract by the injection of air, and narrow non-bulging portions 12 provided therebetween are alternately arranged in the circumferential direction. .

The non-bulging portion 12 is configured so as not to reach the upper side and the lower side of the ring-shaped body 10, so that each bulged portion 11 is alternately formed near the upper side and the lower side of the ring-shaped body 10. The air is injected continuously from one location to each bulging portion 11. The air is injected from the air supply / exhaust port 13. The air supply / exhaust port 13 is provided in the bulging portion 11 near the upper side or lower side of the ring-shaped body 10 (the upper side and the lower side are not distinguished). The air tube 21 of the hand air pump 20 is connected to the connection projection 13 a of the air supply / exhaust port 13 so that air can be injected from the hand air pump 20 into the bulging portion 11. The air in the bulging portion 11 is exhausted by opening the exhaust valve 20a of the hand air pump 20. Of course, the air tube 21 may be detachable from the air supply / exhaust port 13. In this case, a valve capable of performing air check and exhaust is provided at the connection protrusion 13a of the air supply / exhaust port 13 or the like. The width of the non-bulging portion 12 is slightly increased near the upper end and the lower end so that the bulging of the bulging portion 11 bulges more in the vicinity of the center than in the vicinity of the upper and lower portions. I am sure that I can do it.

The above-mentioned ring-shaped body 10 can be constituted by using, for example, two plastic films. That Referring to FIGS. 5 and 6, two rectangular plastic off Irumu F, in another combined F, into a bag shape by the four sides thermally welded M _1. Also in the longitudinal direction of the mutually combined the two rectangular plastic film F, and the non-bulging portion 12 provided heat welding M ₂ parts of an elongate strip of longitudinally at regular intervals, and further a bag shape constituting the ring Jodo portion 10 by heat sealing M ₃ combined rectangular ends which are. Of course, even if the ring-shaped body 10 is not filled with air, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the ring-shaped body 10 can be easily formed into a flat sheet shape, which is further folded and reduced in size. Can be. Therefore, when not used, it can be folded small and stored in a pocket (not shown) of the golf bag 1 together with the hand air pump 20.

The supply / exhaust port 13 is formed on one plastic film F of the two plastic films F prior to the heat welding operation. The configuration of the air supply / exhaust port 13 can be two configurations shown in FIGS. 7 and 8. That is, as shown in FIG. 7, one of the constitutions is such that a connection protrusion 13a made of, for example, soft vinyl chloride is welded to one plastic film F and attached. In another configuration, as shown in FIG. 8, a connection projection 13a made of hard vinyl chloride is fastened and fixed to a plastic film F with a nut 13c via a holding plate 13b with an O-ring. The configuration of the air supply / exhaust port 13 is not particularly limited as long as air can be supplied / exhausted to the ring-shaped body 10.

The handling of the golf club head protector of the present invention will be described. For the plurality of golf clubs 2 inserted into the insertion space 1a of the golf bag 1, the ring-shaped body 10 and the hand air pump 20 housed in the pockets and the like of the golf bag 1 are taken out. 10 is fitted to the area including the head 2a of the golf club 2 so as to surround the golf club 2 from the periphery. Then, the air is injected into the ring-shaped body 10 by operating the hand air pump 20 to inflate the bulging portion 11. As a result, the bundle of the heads 2a of the golf club 2 is elastically pressed and fixed by the bulging portion 11 and is sandwiched between the bulging portions 11 on both sides by the non-bulging portion 12 serving as a concave portion. It is fixed elastically even in such a state. When the work of fixing the head 2a of the golf club 2 is completed, the hand air pump 20 connected to the ring-shaped body 10 and the air tube 21 is housed in a pocket or the like in the golf bag 1, the golf bag 1 is closed, and the golf bag 1 is transported. Offer. In use, the golf bag 1 is opened, the exhaust valve 20a of the hand air pump 20 is opened, and the air of the ring-shaped body 10 fixing the head 2a of the golf club 2 is released. Remove from 2a. The removed ring-shaped body 10 and hand air pump 20 are stored in a pocket or the like of the golf bag 1.

In the above description, the bulging portions 11 and the narrow non-bulging portions 12 of the ring-shaped body 10 are arranged alternately in the circumferential direction of the ring-shaped body 10. The bulging portions 11 and the narrow non-bulging portions 12 of the ring-shaped body 10 may be alternately arranged in the circumferential direction only on the inner side surface of the portion 10. This is because it is not necessary to provide a function of fixing the head 2a of the golf club 2 on the outer side of the ring-shaped body 10. By arranging the bulging portions 11 of the ring-shaped body portion 10 and the non-bulging portions 12 having a small width alternately in the circumferential direction, the bundle of the heads 2a of the golf club 2 having irregularities is formed with the bulging portions 11. By the narrow non-bulging portion 12, it can be fixed more securely as compared with a case without unevenness.

The swelling portion 11 and the narrow non-swelling portion 12 of the ring-shaped body 10 are arranged such that the vertically long swelling portions 11 and the non-swelling portions 12 are arranged alternately in the circumferential direction. It is not always necessary to arrange them alternately in the circumferential direction. It is sufficient that the inner surface of the ring-shaped body 10 swells not only in the circumferential direction but also in an uneven state when air is injected by the swelling portion 11 and the non-swelling portion 12.

The ring-shaped body 10 has a cylindrical shape with an open ceiling, but may have a cap with a closed ceiling. The cap-like shape ensures that the head 2a projects from the ring-shaped body 10 when the ring-shaped body 10 is put on the head 2a of the golf club 2 or during fixed conveyance. Can be prevented.

FIG. 9 shows an example in which the cover 30 is provided. In this example, the soft cover 30 covers the entire surface of the ring-shaped body 10 including the inner and outer surfaces, thereby forming the ring-shaped body 10 with a mark of heat welding, an uneven pattern, or two sheets of plastic. The sheets F, F are concealed at the outermost end without being heat-sealed so that the sheets F have a good appearance. Further, the ceiling of the ring-shaped body 10 is also covered to form a cap so that the head 2a of the golf club 2 does not come out of the ring-shaped body 10 upward.
