The disclosure relates to cleaning devices and more particularly pertains to a new cleaning device for cleaning golf clubs.
An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above by generally comprising a panel that comprises cloth. A slot is positioned adjacent to a bottom edge of the panel. A plurality of first fasteners is coupled to a front of the panel adjacent to a fringe of the slot. A housing that is complementary to the slot has a plurality of bristles that is coupled to and extends transversely from a back face of the housing. The bristles are configured to engage a face of a golf club to dislodge debris. A plurality of second fasteners, which is complementary to the first fasteners, is coupled to and extends outwardly from a rim of the back face of the housing. The second fasteners are positioned to reversibly couple with the first fasteners to secure the housing to the panel.
There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the disclosure in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are additional features of the disclosure that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.
The objects of the disclosure, along with the various features of novelty which characterize the disclosure, are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure.
The disclosure will be better understood and objects other than those set forth above will become apparent when consideration is given to the following detailed description thereof. Such description makes reference to the annexed drawings wherein:
With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to
As best illustrated in
An extension 20 may be coupled to a back 22 of the panel 12 proximate to a top side 24 of the slot 14. The extension 20 extends between the opposing side edges 18 of the panel 12 and to proximate to the bottom edge 16 of the panel 12. The extension 20 comprises cloth.
A plurality of first fasteners 26 is coupled to a front 28 of the panel 12 adjacent to a fringe 30 of the slot 14. Preferably, the plurality of first fasteners 26 comprises three first fasteners 26 coupled singly to the top side 24 and opposing sides 32 of the slot 14.
A grommet 34 is positioned through the panel 12, such that the grommet 34 is configured to hang the panel 12 from a golf bag. Preferably, the grommet 34 is positioned proximate to a top edge 36 of the panel 12.
The device 10 comprises a housing 38 that is complementary to the slot 14. A plurality of bristles 40 is coupled to and extends transversely from a back face 42 of the housing 38. The bristles 40 are configured to engage a face of a golf club to dislodge debris. Preferably, the bristles 40 comprise nylon.
A plurality of second fasteners 44, which is complementary to the first fasteners 26, is coupled to and extends outwardly from a rim 46 of the back face 42. The second fasteners 44 are positioned to reversibly couple with the first fasteners 26 to secure the housing 38 to the panel 12. Preferably, the plurality of second fasteners 44 comprises three second fasteners 44 coupled singly to the rim 46 adjacent to a lower face 48 and opposing side faces 50 of the housing 38. The first fasteners 26 and the second fasteners 44 are selected from the group of fasteners consisting of hook-type and loop-type fasteners.
A neck 52 is coupled to the housing 38. The neck 52 is fluidically connected to an interior space 54 defined by the housing 38. Preferably, the neck 52 is coupled to an upper face 56 of the housing 38. A spray cap 58 is threadedly couplable to the neck 52. A dipstick 60, which is fluidically connected to the spray cap 58, extends from the spray cap 58 into the interior space 54. The spray cap 58 is configured to be depressed by a user such that liquid positioned in the interior space 54 is drawn through the dipstick 60 and discharged through an orifice 62 positioned in the spray cap 58. Preferably, the dipstick 60 extends from the spay cap 58 to proximate to the lower face 48 of the housing 38.
Each of a plurality of indentations 64 is positioned in a respective opposing side face 50 of the housing 38 and extends into a front face 66 of the housing 38. Preferably, the plurality of indentations 64 comprises three indentations 64 substantially evenly spaced along the respective opposing side face 50. A depression 68 is positioned in a respective opposing side face 50 of the housing 38 and extends into the front face 66 of the housing 38. The depression 68 is in opposition to the indentations 64. The indentations 64 and the depression 68 are positioned in the housing 38 such that three fingers and a thumb of a user's hand are positionable around the housing 38. Preferably, the indentations 64 and the depression 68 are arcuate.
In use, the grommet 34 is configured to secure the panel 12 to a user's golf bag. The housing 38 is detachable from the panel 12 by decoupling of the first fasteners 26 from the second fasteners 44. Cleaning fluid positioned in the interior space 54 of the housing 38 is discharged using the spray cap 58, and the bristles 40 positioned on the back face 42 of the housing 38 are configured to dislodge debris from the face of the user's golf clubs. The panel 12, comprising cloth, is configured for drying the golf clubs.
With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure.
Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
