Patent Application
20240164511
The present invention relates generally to the field of golf accessories. More specifically, the present invention relates to a golf glove belt clip device. The device can be clipped to a belt, golf bag, and/or other structure, wherein a fastener of a base of the device is comprised of a hook or loop fastener that allows the hook/loop area of a golf glove to be attached to the device. The device can then be secured to a belt of a golfer, a golf bag, and/or another structure via a clip. The device may also be comprised of a magnetic fastener that can receive a ball marker and at least one tee holder that receives a golf tee. Accordingly, the present disclosure makes specific reference thereto. Nonetheless, it is to be appreciated that aspects of the present invention are also equally applicable to other like applications, devices, and methods of manufacture.
Golfers constantly put on and take off their golf glove while playing a round of golf. After a shot is hit around the green, a golfer normally removes their glove to putt and the glove is often stuffed in a pocket. Alternatively, some golfers may hang their glove on their golf bag and this method allows the glove to be easily lost as it is difficult to easily secure a golf glove to a golf bag. In addition, golfers may sweat while wearing a golf glove. However, the glove may not be able to dry as it removed and just shoved into a pocket.
Therefore, there exists a long-felt need in the art for a golf accessory device. There also exists a long-felt need in the art for a golf glove belt clip device. More specifically, there exists a long-felt need in the art for a golf glove belt clip device that securely receives a golf glove. In addition, there exists a long-felt need in the art for a golf glove belt clip device that securely receives a golf glove, wherein the glove can be easily accessed and has an opportunity to dry. Furthermore, there exists a long-felt need in the art for a golf glove belt clip device that securely receives a golf glove and can also securely receive other golf accessories, such as a ball marker and a golf tee.
The subject matter disclosed and claimed herein, in one embodiment thereof, comprises a golf glove belt clip device. The device is primarily comprised of a base having at least one fastener, a clip, at least one ball marker fastener, and at least one tee holder. The device can be clipped to a belt, golf bag, and/or other structure. The fastener of the base is preferably comprised of a hook or loop fastener that allows the hook/loop area of a golf glove to be attached to the device. The device can then be secured to a belt of a golfer, a golf bag, and/or another structure via the clip. The device may also be comprised of a magnetic fastener that can receive a ball marker and at least one tee holder that receives a golf tee.
In this manner, the golf glove belt clip device of the present invention accomplishes all the foregoing objectives and provides a golf glove belt clip device that securely receives a golf glove. In addition, the device allows the glove to be easily accessed and allows the glove to dry. Furthermore, the device can also securely receive other golf accessories, such as a ball marker and a golf tee.
The following presents a simplified summary to provide a basic understanding of some aspects of the disclosed innovation. This summary is not an extensive overview, and it is not intended to identify key/critical elements or to delineate the scope thereof. Its sole purpose is to present some general concepts in a simplified form as a prelude to the more detailed description that is presented later.
The subject matter disclosed and claimed herein, in one embodiment thereof, comprises a golf glove belt clip device primarily comprised of a base having at least one fastener, at least one clip, at least one ball marker fastener, and at least one tee holder. The device preferably has a clip-like shape comprised of a base and a curved member. The curved member is preferably in the form of an angled clip and allows the device to be removably clipped to a belt, a golf bag, or other structure.
The base of the device is comprised of at least one fastener located on the front surface of the base. The fastener is preferably a hook fastener or a loop fastener that receives the fastener surface (i.e., the hook surface or the loop surface) of the golf glove. In this manner, the golf is removably attached to the device.
The device may also be comprised of at least one ball marker fastener. In one embodiment, the fastener is comprised of a magnet that may receive a metal ball marker. In another embodiment, the device may be magnetic to receive a metal ball marker. The device may also be comprised of at least one tee holder that receives at least one golf tee. The holder is preferably a loop and/or a cylindrical structure.
The device may also be comprised of a method of use. First, the device is secured to a belt (or other item or structure) of a user using the curved member. Then, a golf glove may be attached to the fastener via the fastener surface of the glove and removed as needed during use. At least one golf tee can also be placed into and removed from the tee holder during use. In addition, at least one ball marker may be attached and removed from at least one ball marker fastener during use.
Accordingly, the golf glove belt clip device of the present invention is particularly advantageous as it provides a golf glove belt clip device that securely receives a golf glove. In addition, the device allows the glove to be easily accessed and allows the glove to dry. Furthermore, the device can also securely receive other golf accessories, such as a ball marker and a golf tee. In this manner, the golf glove belt clip device overcomes the limitations of existing methods of storing golf gloves when not in use during a round of golf that are known in the art.
