Definitions
- the present invention is directed to a jacket and, in particular, a golf jacket including a pouch for protecting the grip of a golf club during inclement weather.
- All-weather jackets typically have a variety of constructions, such as an inner liner and an outer shell, to help insulate the wearer and keep out water and wind, respectively.
- Jackets generally include a torso portion and sleeves that are designed to fit smoothly on a wearer when they are standing upright. When the wearer is a golfer, however, the wearer may experience a number of shortcomings associated with conventional jackets.
- golf is a unique sport in that it is often played in inclement weather, requiring substantial protection from outerwear.
- Conventional golf outerwear does not adequately protect the golfer's equipment, in particular, the grips of the club.
- the golf grip is the critical link between the golfer's hands and the club—if the grips get wet, the grip surface can become quite slippery, making it difficult at best for the golfer to make a proper golf swing without losing grip on the club.
- many golfers try to carry a towel over the grip or hold the grip against the shaft of an umbrella to protect the grip from getting wet.
- the present invention is directed to a garment including an outer shell, an inner liner, and a pocket extending vertically upward for receiving a grip of a golf club, the pocket being disposed between the outer shell and the liner.
- the pocket includes a sheath including a closed end and an open end, the open end being attached to a downward-facing aperture in the shell or the liner.
- the aperture typically includes a closure, such as a snap, hook-and-loop (Velcro®), or a zipper.
- the garment may include sleeves for covering a wearer's arms (or a portion of the arms, such as in a vest). Preferably, the sleeves cover the wearer's entire arms.
- the sleeves may also be removable, such as by snaps or zippers circumscribing the arm near the shoulder of the wearer resulting in a vest-type garment once the sleeves are removed.
- At least one of the pocket and the outer shell should be substantially waterproof, such that the golf grip remains dry while being protected within the sheath.
- the outer shell when present, typically includes an outside surface facing away from the liner and an inside surface facing the liner so as to define an inner space therebetween, the shell including first and second anchored portions and defining an opening in the first anchored portion, the shell also including a tensionable portion disposed between the anchored portions, wherein the shell and liner are configured for encircling the wearer.
- the garment may further include a cinch, such as an elastic band disposed in the inner space and attached to first and second ends which are anchored to the first and second anchored portions, respectively, such that a closed path encircling the wearer is defined through the cinch and the tensionable portion.
- a cinch such as an elastic band disposed in the inner space and attached to first and second ends which are anchored to the first and second anchored portions, respectively, such that a closed path encircling the wearer is defined through the cinch and the tensionable portion.
- the tensionable portion is located at a front of the abdomen section.
- the cinch may also include an anchor securable to the first end and dimensioned larger than the first opening such that the anchor is prevented from passing through the first opening.
- the shell includes a pocket on the outside thereof; and the first opening is disposed inside the pocket such that the first end and the anchor are operable for releasably securing to each other from inside the pocket.
- the anchor is attached to the shell to retain the anchor when the first end is pulled from outside the shell.
- the elastic band typically has a band length between the ends and a band height perpendicular thereto and the inner space has a space height parallel to the band height and at least three times as large as the band height.
- the garment may further include a closure attached to the liner and the shell in the tensionable portion, the closed path being defined when the closure is closed.
- the cinch may include an anchor anchored to the first end and the first anchored portion, and the anchor is connected with the first end and the first anchored portion such that the anchor remains associated therewith when the closure is open for automatically stretching the elastic band around a wearer when the closure is closed.
- the garment also typically includes an upper body section including a torso portion and a sleeve having a shoulder, an elbow, and a wrist. Together these include a plurality of panels including first and second panels that extend from the shoulder to the wrist and are attached to each other by a back seam.
- the shoulder is generally attached to the torso portion such that the back seam runs from a back of the shoulder to a back of the elbow to a back of the wrist, and the first and second panels have back edges joined at the back seam, each back edge having a convex curvature of a radius that decreases towards the elbow.
- the present invention is also directed to a garment including a pocket extending vertically upward for receiving a grip of a golf club.

Abstract
A garment including an outer shell, an inner liner, and a pocket extending vertically upward for receiving a grip of a golf club, the pocket being disposed between the outer shell and the liner.
Description
- The present invention is directed to a jacket and, in particular, a golf jacket including a pouch for protecting the grip of a golf club during inclement weather.
- All-weather jackets typically have a variety of constructions, such as an inner liner and an outer shell, to help insulate the wearer and keep out water and wind, respectively. Jackets generally include a torso portion and sleeves that are designed to fit smoothly on a wearer when they are standing upright. When the wearer is a golfer, however, the wearer may experience a number of shortcomings associated with conventional jackets.
- Because proper golf stance requires the wearer to bend forward at the waist and abdominal sections of the body, most jackets tend to ‘bunch up’ at undesirable locations when the posture of the wearer is other than upright. This ‘bunching’ interferes with a golf swing as fabric of the jacket protrudes into the arcuate path through which the arms of the golfer must travel during the golf swinging motion.
- Additionally, while many jackets sufficiently protect the wearer from the elements, golf is a unique sport in that it is often played in inclement weather, requiring substantial protection from outerwear. Conventional golf outerwear, however, does not adequately protect the golfer's equipment, in particular, the grips of the club. The golf grip is the critical link between the golfer's hands and the club—if the grips get wet, the grip surface can become quite slippery, making it difficult at best for the golfer to make a proper golf swing without losing grip on the club. When playing in the rain, many golfers try to carry a towel over the grip or hold the grip against the shaft of an umbrella to protect the grip from getting wet. These attempted solutions, however, are cumbersome and the extraneous items certainly must be discarded prior to making the golf shot. Typically, the time between discarding any protective items and actually making the golf shot is more than sufficient for the grip to get wet. Some golfers even awkwardly attempt to ‘hide’ the grip from the elements under a shirt or jacket. Since shirts are generally tucked into the golfer's pants and many jackets are relatively form fitting and provide little room for the protection of golf club grips, there remains a need, therefore, for a manner of keeping a golf grip dry during inclement weather that is simple, easy to use, and doesn't require any hindering protective items, such as a towel or an umbrella.
- The present invention is directed to a garment including an outer shell, an inner liner, and a pocket extending vertically upward for receiving a grip of a golf club, the pocket being disposed between the outer shell and the liner. In a preferred embodiment, the pocket includes a sheath including a closed end and an open end, the open end being attached to a downward-facing aperture in the shell or the liner. The aperture typically includes a closure, such as a snap, hook-and-loop (Velcro®), or a zipper.
- The garment may include sleeves for covering a wearer's arms (or a portion of the arms, such as in a vest). Preferably, the sleeves cover the wearer's entire arms. The sleeves may also be removable, such as by snaps or zippers circumscribing the arm near the shoulder of the wearer resulting in a vest-type garment once the sleeves are removed.
- So that the garment is suitable for use in extreme weather, at least one of the pocket and the outer shell should be substantially waterproof, such that the golf grip remains dry while being protected within the sheath.
- The outer shell, when present, typically includes an outside surface facing away from the liner and an inside surface facing the liner so as to define an inner space therebetween, the shell including first and second anchored portions and defining an opening in the first anchored portion, the shell also including a tensionable portion disposed between the anchored portions, wherein the shell and liner are configured for encircling the wearer.
- Additionally, the garment may further include a cinch, such as an elastic band disposed in the inner space and attached to first and second ends which are anchored to the first and second anchored portions, respectively, such that a closed path encircling the wearer is defined through the cinch and the tensionable portion. Preferably, the tensionable portion is located at a front of the abdomen section. The cinch may also include an anchor securable to the first end and dimensioned larger than the first opening such that the anchor is prevented from passing through the first opening.
- In one embodiment, the shell includes a pocket on the outside thereof; and the first opening is disposed inside the pocket such that the first end and the anchor are operable for releasably securing to each other from inside the pocket. Generally, the anchor is attached to the shell to retain the anchor when the first end is pulled from outside the shell. The elastic band typically has a band length between the ends and a band height perpendicular thereto and the inner space has a space height parallel to the band height and at least three times as large as the band height.
- The garment may further include a closure attached to the liner and the shell in the tensionable portion, the closed path being defined when the closure is closed. The cinch may include an anchor anchored to the first end and the first anchored portion, and the anchor is connected with the first end and the first anchored portion such that the anchor remains associated therewith when the closure is open for automatically stretching the elastic band around a wearer when the closure is closed.
- The garment also typically includes an upper body section including a torso portion and a sleeve having a shoulder, an elbow, and a wrist. Together these include a plurality of panels including first and second panels that extend from the shoulder to the wrist and are attached to each other by a back seam. The shoulder is generally attached to the torso portion such that the back seam runs from a back of the shoulder to a back of the elbow to a back of the wrist, and the first and second panels have back edges joined at the back seam, each back edge having a convex curvature of a radius that decreases towards the elbow.
- The present invention is also directed to a garment including a pocket extending vertically upward for receiving a grip of a golf club. In one embodiment, the pocket includes a sheath including a closed end and an open end, the open end being secured to a downward-facing aperture in the garment.
- The present invention is further directed to a golf jacket including an outer shell, an inner liner, configured to circumscribe the torso of a person and to define a gap between the shell and the liner; a vertically-extending zipper; and a pocket extending vertically upward for receiving a grip of a golf club, the pocket being disposed in the gap between the shell and the liner.

FIGS. 1-7 and, in particular,FIGS. 1 and 7 , the garment of the present invention, while preferably a jacket, can be any type of garment, such as a windbreaker, a ¾-length parka, a vest, a short-sleeve pullover, a wind shirt, or a full-length coat. More preferably, the garment is ajacket 10 including anouter shell 12, aninner liner 14. Most preferably, the garment is a jacket having a plurality of liners and an outer shell, configured for a golfer, such that it includes a pocket 11 extending vertically upward for receiving the grip of agolf club 19 to protect the grip from the elements prior to the golfer making a golf swing. - In a preferred embodiment, the pocket comprises a sheath 13 comprising a closed distal end 15 and an open
proximate end 17, the proximate end being vertically below and substantially collinear to an axis defined by the closed end, the open end, and the sheath connecting the two. The sheath can be made of any material including, but not limited to, synthetic or natural fibers, fleece, plush, or waterproof materials. Preferably, the sheath has a length sufficiently long enough to receive and cover an entire golf grip. The open end is preferably attached to a downward-facing aperture such that the sheath is exposed to the outside of the garment. If the jacket includes a liner and an outer shell, the pocket is preferably disposed between the outer shell and the liner. Preferably, the aperture is in the shell, liner, or both. The aperture preferably includes a closure including, but not limited to, snaps, hook-and-loop (Velcro®), or zippers. Unlike conventional pockets, the pocket extending vertically upward for receiving the grip of a golf club would not be suitable for carrying items (i.e., items would fall out given the vertical orientation of the pocket combined with the effect of gravity). - The garment can be of any design, but preferably includes sleeves covering a portion of a wearer's arm. Preferably, the sleeves are of a length sufficient to cover the entire length of the wearer's arms. In one embodiment, the sleeves are removable, such as by snaps or zippers circumscribing the arm near the shoulder of the wearer resulting in a vest-type garment once the sleeves are removed. The garment may also have a plurality of pockets positioned at a variety of locations. Preferably, the garment has two pockets, in addition to the sheath, positioned on the front of the jacket for receiving the wearer's hands. The garment, if a jacket-type garment, preferably has closures, such as snaps, buttons, Velcro®, or a zipper. The garment, if a pullover-type garment, preferably has no full-length closures, but may have a partial opening having closures near the top of the garment.
- So that the garment is suitable for use in extreme weather, at least one of the sheath and the outer shell should be substantially waterproof, such that the golf grip remains dry while being protected within the sheath. For example, the jacket outer liner or the sheath may include a waterproof barrier layer such as Gore-Tex®.

Thecurved bases 46 are wider than theweb openings 48.Shell openings 52 defined in thefront shell panels 16 are also reinforced byeyelets 50 and are substantially aligned with theweb openings 48. - On the outside of the
shell 12, which faces away from theliner 14, straps 54 are sewn to thefront shell panels 16, opposite the centers of thecurved bases 46 of thewebs 44. Thestraps 54 are attached to anchors, which are preferably chordlocks 56.Chordlocks 56 each include ahousing 58 and a clampingportion 60, which together define achordlock opening 62 and which are biased relative to each other towards a clamping position byspring 64, positioned therebetween. When tensioned away from themain zipper 24, theweb opening 48, theshell opening 52, and thechordlock opening 62 are substantially aligned with each other. - The
shell 12 additionally includespockets 66 formed by pocket covers 68. Theshell openings 52 are disposed within thepockets 66. Pocket zippers 70 of theshell 12 selectively open or close thepockets 66. Apocket flap 72 on the outside of theshell 72 covers eachpocket zipper 70. - The
jacket 10 also has acinch 74, including anelastic band 76 and drawchords 78, which is also preferably elastic. Theelastic band 76 is disposed in theinner space 42. Thedraw chords 78 are passed througheyelets 79 in the ends of theelastic band 76 and sewn back upon themselves. Thedraw chords 78 are received through theweb opening 48,shell opening 52, andchordlock opening 62. - The
elastic band 76 has aband height 80 perpendicular to the length of the band between theeyelets 79. Theinner space 42 has aheight 81, which is preferably at least three times as large as theband height 80. This retains maximum mobility when a wearer is practicing a sport such as golf. - As shown in
FIGS. 2, 3 , and 5, aloop 82 of fabric is sewn to the liner at stitching 84 located at the top of theloop 82. Theelastic band 76 is received through theloop 82 and sewn thereto atstitching 88. Theloop 82 fixes theelastic band 76 to theliner 14 to retain thecinch 74 around the abdomen portion of thejacket 10, preventing thecinch 74 from sliding vertically from its ideal position. -
FIGS. 3 and 4 show the one of thedraw chords 78 anchored to theshell 12 by one of thechordlocks 56. Thechordlock 56 is dimensioned larger than theshell opening 52 and is thus prevented from passing therethrough. Thechordlock 56 is clamped to thedrawchord 78 and thestrap 54. Theelastic band 76 is stretched by a distance from a naturally assumed length, and thedrawchord 78 pulls thechordlock 56 against theshell opening 52. As thechordlock 56 is not receivable through theshell opening 52, thedrawchord 78 is anchored to theshell 12 in a first position relative thereto. The area about theshell opening 52 thus forms an anchored portion of thejacket 10. The portion of thedrawchord 78 on the outside of theshell 12 remains inside thepocket 66 and hidden from view. Thedrawchord 78 also pulls against theweb 44, which reinforces theshell 12. A similar arrangement is present on the other side of thejacket 10. - A closed path extending around the abdomen portion of the
jacket 10 and encircling the abdomen of thewearer 92 is defined by thecinch 74 and by atensionable portion 94 of theshell 12, which is located at the front of thejacket 10 between the locations at which thedrawchords 78 are anchored. Thetensionable portion 94 preferably extends across more than a third of the front of thejacket 10. The closed path extends across thezipper 24. As theelastic band 76 and sections of thedrawchords 78 are stretched, tension is produced along the closed path. As a result, theliner 14 and the tensionablefront portion 94 of theshell 12 are drawn against thewearer 92. Thewide base 46 of theweb 44 effectively widens the closed path by spreading the tension produced by the stretchedcinch 74 across a greater area of the front of theshell 12, widening thetensionable portion 94. Preferably, thebase 46 of theweb 44 is at least about three times wider thandrawchord 78, the shell andweb openings eyelets 50. - As a result, fullness is removed from the front of the
shell 12, which is pulled out of the way of the wearer's golf swing. The remainder of theshell 12 on the sides and back of thejacket 10 is free from the tension of thecinch 74 and thus remains full. -
FIG. 6 illustrates how thecinch 74 is adjusted. Themain zipper 24 is still closed and thejacket 10 is still being worn. Thepocket zipper 70, however, is opened so that thedrawchord 78 and thechordlock 56 are manipulable from the outside of thejacket 10. Thedrawchord 78 is pulled out from thepocket 66 as illustrated byarrow 96. - The
strap 54 retains thechordlock 56 in thepocket 66 and relatively near the shell andweb openings portion 60 and the stiffness of thespring 64 are such that thechordlock 56 resists displacement of thedrawchord 78 therethrough resulting from thecinch 74 tension, but such that thedrawchord 78 may be pulled further through thechordlock 56 when biased with a force greater than achievable by thecinch 74. Thus, by pulling thedrawchord 78 out from the pocket, as shown, theelastic band 76 is further stretch. When thecinch 74 is being stretched as shown by pulling thedrawchords 78, thechordlock 56 and thetensionable portion 94 of theshell 12, including theweb 44, resist the pulling. - In
FIG. 6 , thechordlock 56 is shown stretched by a greater distance than it is inFIG. 3 . When thedrawchord 78 is released by the wearer, thechordlock 56 again clamps against thedrawchord 78 and anchors thedrawchord 78 to theshell 12 in a second position relative to thereto. With thedrawchord 78 anchored in the second position, thecinch 74 pulled tighter about the abdomen of the wearer than when the drawchord 8 is in the first position relative to theshell 12. - To loosen the
cinch 74, the wearer opens thepocket 66 and presses the top 98 of thechordlock clamping portion 60 into thehousing 58, releasing the grip of thechordlock 56 on thedrawchord 78 and allowing theelastic member 76 to contract, drawing thedrawchord 78 back through thechordlock 56 to a looser position. - When the wearer unzips the
main zipper 24 and removes thejacket 10, opening the previously closed path, thechordlocks 56 remain associated with thedrawchord 78 and theshell 12 such that no adjustments need to be completed prior to reclosing themain zipper 24. In the preferred embodiment, thechordlocks 56 remain secured to thedrawchord 78 so that theelastic band 76 is automatically stretched when themain zipper 24 is again closed about wearer. - Furthermore, any
cinch 74 adjustments can be performed while thejacket 10 is being worn. Consequently, the wearer can feel changes iscinch 74 tension as they are made, and need not engage in a trial-and-error iterative approach that would be required if the jacket needed to be removed for adjustments. In addition, thecinch 74 tension is infinitely variable. - Referring to the alternative embodiment of
FIG. 7 ,jacket 100 includes resilient tension-spreadingvertical bars 102 sewn to the inside of theshell 12 on each side of themain zipper 24. Thus, bars 102 are disposed in series with each other along the closed path. For clarity, the jacket pockets are not shown inFIG. 7 . Thebars 102 distribute the tensile force of thecinch 74 over a large tensionable portion 104 of thejacket 100 as thecinch 74 pulls the shell eyelets 50 away from each other. - One of ordinary skill in the art can envision numerous variations and modifications. For example, the cinch may be anchored to the shell by hook and loop fasteners permitting the cinch to be anchored at a plurality of locations on the shell. All of these modifications are contemplated by the true spirit and scope of the following claims.
- As used herein, the term “about,” used in connection with one or more numbers or numerical ranges, should be understood to refer to all such numbers, including all numbers in a range.
- Other than in the operating examples, or unless otherwise expressly specified, all of the numerical ranges, amounts, values and percentages such as those for amounts of materials, and others in the specification may be read as if prefaced by the word “about” even though the term “about” may not expressly appear with the value, amount or range. Accordingly, unless indicated to the contrary, the numerical parameters set forth in the specification and attached claims are approximations that may vary depending upon the desired properties sought to be obtained by the present invention. At the very least, and not as an attempt to limit the application of the doctrine of equivalents to the scope of the claims, each numerical parameter should at least be construed in light of the number of reported significant digits and by applying ordinary rounding techniques.
- Notwithstanding that the numerical ranges and parameters setting forth the broad scope of the invention are approximations, the numerical values set forth in the specific examples are reported as precisely as possible. Any numerical value, however, inherently contain certain errors necessarily resulting from the standard deviation found in their respective testing measurements. Furthermore, when numerical ranges of varying scope are set forth herein, it is contemplated that any combination of these values inclusive of the recited values may be used.
- The invention described and claimed herein is not to be limited in scope by the specific embodiments herein disclosed, since these embodiments are intended solely as illustrations of several aspects of the invention. Any equivalent embodiments are intended to be within the scope of this invention. Indeed, various modifications of the invention in addition to those shown and described herein will become apparent to those skilled in the art from the foregoing description. Such modifications are also intended to fall within the scope of the appended claims.
