Abstract: Materials and fabrics compounded with negative ions and infrared materials to promote circulation of blood, ease stress and relieve body pain.

Abstract: A golf watch, which keeps time and allows a player to keep score of a person's golf game and records the clubs that were used during that game.

Abstract: A golf glove, preferably of leather construction material, and including a closed loop of a horizontally oriented strip of elastic at a midpoint of its length as measured from the opening into the glove and its fingertips, which length determines its size, i.e. small, medium or large, during the hiking of the glove onto the user's hand as occurs after its removal prior to putting and prior to tee off, the stretch occasioned by the hiking is localized in the elastic strip and obviates the leather stretching out of shape or size.

Abstract: A two-strap golf bag carrier in which the first and second straps each being oriented in opposite angular directions are adapted to cross each other at approximately a mid-point of the user's back, at which crossing point the straps are joined together which obviates lateral movement of the straps away from each other as would cause a strap to slip off of a shoulder.

Abstract: Embodiments (two) of a tripod golf bag stand in the second embodiment which the leg mechanism bypass positioning function of the base plate is adapted for use both on a larger man's-sized golf bag and on a smaller lady's-sized golf bag using an elongated slot, rather than a drill hole, to correspondingly accommodate the larger and the lesser ascending sliding movement of the leg mechanism slide which establishes the conditions for the bypass. For the man's-sized golf bag, the bypass position is adjacent the top of the slot and for the lady's-sized golf bag is adjacent the bottom of the slot; the slot size thus accounting for the slide movement differences and obviating having to use different mounted positions for the plate.

Abstract: An improved golf bag top opening collar using not only the known technique of obviating golf club contact with each other by physical separation of the golf iron openings, but also by promoting shifting movement of the irons to out-of-contact positions using appropriately directionally configurated bottom curved surfaces bounding the golf iron openings.

Abstract: A sports equipment bag-supporting leg mechanism having a slide repositioned from an upper to a lower position preparatory to operating the leg mechanism. The leg mechanism being readily attachable and detachable from the bag wherein the slide positions, whether upper or lower, are established positions at which the slide is held against inadvertent sliding movement. The slide is thus effectively used as a hand grip to move the leg mechanism in relation to holding springs incident to being latched to and unlatched from the golf bag.

Abstract: A golf shoe spike which does not produce so-called spike marks in a putting green due to the use of plastic construction material in which to obviate rupture of the plastic during tightening and untightening preparatory to replacement of a worn spike, the peripheral edge of the spike body is non-circular for improved turning engagement with a wrench having a matching non-circular spike body-receiving compartment and, at each change in direction characteristic of the non-circular spike body edge, a spike is located to provide optimum plastic material since the spike location coincides with a contact site at which the wrench and spike body interengage each other during the tightening and untightening of the spike.

Abstract: A golf bag-supporting leg mechanism having a slide repositioned from an upper to a lower position preparatory to operating the leg mechanism in which this operating mode is used to advantage in making the leg mechanism readily attachable and detachable from the golf bag. The slide positions, whether upper or lower, are established positions at which the slide is held against inadvertent sliding movement. The slide is thus effectively used as a hand grip to move the leg mechanism in relation to holding springs incident to being latched to and unlatched from the golf bag.

Abstract: A combination golf pull cart and golf bag in which the cart wheel-supporting legs vertically suspend, when not in an open tripod bag-supporting use, from a semi-circular bracket in encircling relation about the rear of the golf bag, which is a position forward and almost entirely within the width of the golf bag, and contributes to an optimum compact storage condition.

Abstract: In a golf bag support stand of the type in which descending sliding movement of a slide member is required incident to using the support stand, the movement of the slide member along a track which uses two parallel grooves on opposite sides of an intermediate raised section and a conforming shape in the slide member which, as a result, obviates deviation of the slide member from a vertical path and any binding or other adverse consequence during the sliding movement thereof.

Abstract: A golf club head cover utilized for protecting the heads of golf clubs, such as the "woods" from rain and other inclement weather as well as damage resulting from the striking of other clubs being carried in a golf bag during the playing of the game of golf and also during transport. A head cover in accordance with this invention deletes the dedicated numbering corresponding to the particular golf club to be covered in favor of a transparent window in the body of the head cover in the upper region thereof so that the numbering appearing on the sole plate of the club itself provides the required club identification when covered, whereby one may select a golf club such as a "wood" by directly viewing the sole plate of the club through the window when making a club selection. This permits one or more identical head covers in accordance with this invention to be used with any numbered wood club in the bag as opposed to being used with the specific club which is like numbered.

Abstract: A golf bag is formed of limp material for ready collapse and packaging, and for assembly to a series of rods to hold it in a longitudinal position. Each rod is formed of spring material for flexing whereby to shorten its effective length. When so flexed and placed in alignment with two opposed sockets at the ends of said golf bag, it may be released from flexed position for engagement with the sockets to hold the golf bag in a longitudinal tubular position.

Abstract: A golf bag-supporting leg mechanism having a slide repositioned from an upper to a lower position preparatory to operating the leg mechanism in which this operating mode is used to advantage in making the leg mechanism readily attachable and detachable from the golf bag. The slide positions, whether upper or lower, are established positions at which the slide is held against inadvertent sliding movement. The slide is thus effectively used as a hand grip to move the leg mechanism in relation to holding springs incident to being latched to and unlatched from the golf bag.
