JPS604532Y2 - Protective cover for bar-shaped sports equipment - Google Patents

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a cover for storing and protecting rod-shaped sports equipment such as baseball bats and golf clubs.

In addition to the above, hockey sticks, ice hockey sticks, boat oars, pole vault poles,
A variety of stick-shaped tools are used in sports, such as spears for javelin throwing, shinai and swords for kendo, bows for archery, and rifles for shooting.

These tools often have local recesses or bulges, or are generally slightly curved, and efforts have been made to match the shape of the tool with the shape of the case or cover.

However, the situation is not always satisfactory, and there are many problems as the effect of protecting the contents is insufficient, and there is also the complexity of requiring a different case or cover for each tool.

This proposal was devised in view of this situation.

That is, high elastic yarn such as spandex yarn or rubber yarn and spun yarn such as acrylic or cotton are aligned and knitted, and a pile of the spun yarn is formed on the inner surface while at the same time the top of the pile is thinned to the extent that the loop shape does not disappear. A protective cover made of a tubular knitted fabric raised in the circumferential direction is provided.

The present invention will be explained below with reference to the embodiments shown in the figures.

Figure 1 shows a protective cover that houses golf clubs.
One end of the cylindrical knitted fabric 1 is sewn 2 to form the bottom part, and a velvet type fastener piece 3 and a band 4 with another detachable fastener piece 3' are fixed to the opening at the other end. It is set up.

The cross sections of the A-A line and B-B line in the same figure are enlarged to show the second
- Shown in Figure 3.

The knitted fabric 1 has a knitted fabric base layer 5 on the outer surface, piles 6 protruding inwardly from the base layer 5, and a flexible material in which the tops of the piles are raised in the circumferential direction to the extent that the loop shape does not disappear. It has a three-layer structure with a hair layer 7.

As shown in a further enlarged view of the three-layer structure in FIG. 4, the knitted fabric base layer 5 is composed of spandex yarn 8 and 100% acrylic spun yarn 9, and the spun yarn 9 is piled from this base layer. .

The protective cover of the present invention can be manufactured using a circular knitting machine in substantially the same manner as in the case of clothing tights and the like.

However, for the cover of the present invention, which is smaller in diameter and longer than the tights, it is necessary to perform the raising process at the same time as the pile construction, and for this reason, the arc-shaped raising brush is attached to the inside of the annular needle bed, which is different from the conventional circular knitting machine. Different.

According to the conventional method of turning the pile after knitting and raising the pile in the length direction in a separate process, it is difficult to adjust and manage the degree of raising, and the pile tends to be excessively and unevenly raised, which may cause the loop shape to disappear. , it is virtually impossible to manufacture the protective cover of the present invention.

Even if this were to be carried out with strict caution, it would result in a significant increase in manufacturing costs.

In this case, the function and effect of the protective cover will be explained using examples shown in FIGS. 1 to 4.

That is, due to its high elasticity, the contents can be freely deformed over the entire length thereof, and the fur layer 7 covers the entire surface thereof.

Therefore, in the event of a collision with another external object, the impact will be effectively alleviated by the three-layer structure of the cover.

Most of the impact is absorbed by the elastic pile 6 and then further relaxed and diffused by the soft fur layer, so it is extremely effective in protecting the surface of the contents compared to conventional knitted fabrics with only piles. It is.

In the figure, H is the head portion of the golf club, S is the shaft portion, and W is the curved portion at the boundary between the head and the shaft.

In addition to the above-mentioned features, the protective cover of the present invention has high elasticity, so it is highly compatible, allowing for example to use a golf club cover for a baseball bat, and is lightweight and easy to handle, as well as being inexpensive to manufacture. Its practical effects are significant.

Claims (1)

[Scope of utility model registration request] In a protective cover for a rod-shaped sports equipment in which the main body is formed of a tubular knitted fabric, the knitted fabric 1 is knitted with high elastic yarn 8 such as spandex yarn and spun yarn 9 aligned, and the inner surface of the knitted fabric base layer 5 is knitted. While forming the pile layer 6 of the spun yarn 9,
At the same time, a protective cover for rod-shaped sports equipment is characterized in that it has a three-layer structure in cross section by providing a soft fur layer 7 formed by raising the top of the pile in the circumferential direction to such an extent that the pile loop shape does not disappear.
