  • Patent number: 4899413
    Abstract: A golf ball cleaning device comprising a small water sealable container which can be carried in a golf bag, or in a compartment thereof. The container has a peripheral dimension just enough larger than the peripheral dimension of a golf ball to have room for an upper brush to clean the upper part of the ball, a lower brush to clean the lower part of the ball, and an annular brush or scrubbing material in the form of a ring interposed between the upper and lower brush to clean the intermediate part of the ball, when the ball is positioned and held in the center of the container's cavity. The upper brush is rotatably mounted in the cover of the container with a hand crank or hand wheel to rotate the upper brush when the cover is in place on the container. Three, or more, spring fingers extend down from the base of the rotatable upper brush to hold the golf ball and position it in the center of the container's cavity when the cover is put in place to close the container.
