Definitions
- Norton 5 7 ABSTRACT A golf club cover configured generally in the shape of a wood club head but comprised essentially of only two pieces of material joined by stitching along a single common edge.
- a swiveling eye for attaching the cover to a lanyard is attached to the cover by a loop of material having its ends caught in the stitching.
- a further novel feature of the invention is the manner in which a swiveling eye commonly used by retaining lanyards to hold a group of head covers together, is attached.
- a swiveling eye commonly used by retaining lanyards to hold a group of head covers together.
- the invention offers the advantage of spreading the forces tending to separate such loops from the club cover by providing a supporting loop for a swivel ring which loop has its opposite ends caught at separate points in the stitching of the cover.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the golf club cover of our invention.
- FIG. 2 is a plan view of the bottom side of the club 45 DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
- a club head cover of the invention is made up of a Y" shaped top panel 1 combined with a uniquely shaped bottom panel 2.
- the bottom panel 2 is comprised of a bottle-shaped body 3 tapered at approximately the mid portion to a narrower upper half, and a head 4 generally circular in shape.
- the head 4 is connected to the body 3 by a neck portion 5.
- Arms 9 and 10 of the Y" shaped top panel I extend generally around the top portion 4 with the ends thereof fit ting into the respective sides of the neck 5 of the back panel 3.
- the outer edges 11 and 11a of top panel 1 are then joined to the outside edges 12 and 12a of panel 3 to complete the assembly of the club head cover.
- the reduced area 14 of the back panel 3 is approximately equal in diameter to the head portion 4. As these portions overlie one another in the assembled cover this size relationship controls the contour of the side portions 9 and 10. Minor variations in this pattern will cause the side portions 9 and 10 to slant inwardly or outwardly as desired.
- the club head cover resulting from assembly of panels illustrated in FIGS. 3 and 4 will have the side portions 9 and 10 curving inwardly adjacent the under side of the curb head and toward the sole which is covered by the head portion 4 of panel 2.
- Numerals may be added to the head section 4 of the cover by cutting out the desired number, as the Roman numeral III indicated, and attaching a contrastingly colored insert therebehind.
- Such an insert is represented by the dotted circle 15 surrounding the Roman numeral III of FIG. 4.
- the insert 15 may either be glued in place or held by stitching as that appearing at 16 around the three Is which make up the Roman numeral three.
- a welting 17 may be incorporated along the assembly seam of the. cover for decoration.
- a swiveling eye 20 is attached to the club head cover by a strap 21.
- the strap 21 passes through an open portion 22 in the body of the swivel eye 20, and its ends 23 and 24 are initially stitched to the opposite sides of the neck portion 5 of the back panel 2, as illustrated at numeral 26 in FIG. 4.
- the ends 23 and 24 of the strap 21 are also caught in the stitching combining the front and back panels 1 and 2 thus providing the swivel eye 20 with an exceptionally strong anchoring assembly.
- FIG. 6 the manner in which panels 1 and 2 fit together is generally illustrated for clarity.
- the particularly unique feature of the invention in combining those portions of the cover extending across the bottom and top of the club head in a single piece is most evident in this illustration.
- This configuration per mits the assembly of the club head cover by stitching along the single seam which marks the boundary between the front and back panels 1 and 2, which procedure results in a labor savings during assembly.
- the ends 23 and 24 of strap 21 are initially stitched to the side edges of the neck 5 of the bottom panel 2 which curves over the toe of the club and forms the toe of the cover of the invention.
- a cover for the head portion of a wood golf club comprising: v
- top panel and a bottom panel and means for joining the top and bottom panels along a single common seam the bottom panel wrapping around and forming a part of the toe of the cover so that portions thereof overlie both the top and bottom faces of the wood club head to which the cover is applied, and wherein the top and bottom panels are so shaped that an end portion of the cover formed by the joined panels conforms substantially to the contours of the wood golf club.
- a cover as recited in claim I further including an eye for a lanyard and means for attaching the eye to the cover, including a length of material having each end caught at separate spaced apart points in the seam between the top and bottom panels.
