However, because theflexible sheet member 3 must be kept in flush with the outer diameter of the head 4 after it is wrapped about thebody portion 5 of thesleeve member 2, thelip 7 of thehead 6 around theannular groove 6 must be thinned. However, thethinned lip 7 of the head 4 tends to be opened or curved outwards by an external force or object, and the user's hand that holds the grip sleeve will feel uncomfortable when this happened. Frequently opening thelip 7 or curving thelip 7 outwards may result in breaking of thehead 6. - U.S. Pat. No. 6,709,346 discloses a golf club grip sleeve, which includes a sleeve member and an annular skirt member. The sleeve member has a body portion and an annular stopper. The body portion is provided with an opening at an end thereof. The stopper is located at an external periphery of the body portion and is extended for a predetermined length from an end beside the opening of the body portion towards the other end of the body portion. The skirt member is extended outwards from the end beside the opening of the body portion and is longer than the stopper so as to be turned back to cover the stopper. The main drawback of this design of golf club grip sleeve is that the end edge of the annular skirt member tends to be opened, curved outwards, and damaged.
- The present invention has been accomplished under the circumstances in view. It is the main objective of the present invention to provide a grip sleeve, which keeps outer surface smooth for comfortable gripping by hand.
- To achieve this objective of the present invention, the grip sleeve comprises a sleeve member for sleeving onto a shaft of a sports gear, and a flexible wrapping member wrapped about the sleeve member. The sleeve member has a head, a heel and a body between the head and the heel. The head and the heel each have an outer diameter greater than the outer diameter of the body. The body has a radially-recessed annular locating groove extending around the periphery at least one of two distal ends thereof. The flexible wrapping member has an inner surface bonded to the periphery of the body of the sleeve member, an outer surface opposite to the inner surface and an end edge engaged into the radially-recessed annular locating groove for prohibiting axial displacement of the flexible wrapping member relative to the body of the sleeve member when the outer surface of the wrapping member is grasped by hand.
