Description

BRIEF DISCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The objects and advantages of the present invention will become more readily apparent after reading the ensuing description of the non-limiting illustrative embodiment and viewing the accompanying drawings, in which

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a golf club protector in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, also showing a golf club.

DETAILED DEWINDOWTION OF THE INVENTION

FIG. 1 shows a golf club protector 1 in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, wherein the protector serves to cover and protect the head 2 of a golf club so as to prevent the head from damage, dirt, moisture, etc. An identification number 3 is generally marked on the club head 2 to distinguish it from other clubs.

The golf club protector comprises a window 4 made of transparent or semi-transparent material. The window 4 is aligned with the identification number 3 so that the identification number can be observed through the window 4. The window 4 is integrated with the body of the protector through sewing, gluing, stapling, or any other suitable means of attaching. The window 4 can be circular, elliptical, square, rectangular, polygonal or an irregular shape. The transparent or semi-transparent material used to make window 4 is a silicon-based material, a silicon elastomer, polymeric material, or any other type of material suitable for this application so as to make the window elastic, strong, and esthetically appealing. In certain embodiments, the entire protector can be made entirely of silicon or other transparent or semi-transparent materials.

The protector for golf clubs of the present invention is capable of not only protecting the head of a golf club effectively, but also enables a golfer to easily read the identification number marked on the club head so as to facilitate the golfer to find the right club conveniently. Since a golfer can easily pick and replace a club, the possibility of covering a golf club by a wrong protector, or hitting a ball by a wrong club is minimized.

While particular embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be obvious to those skilled in the art that changes and modifications may be made without departing from the invention in its broader aspects, and therefore, the aim in the appended claims is to cover all such changes and modifications as fall within the true spirit and scope of the invention.
