The bottom is closed and the top is open such that the golf clubs are selectively receivable into the storage reservoir through the open top. The flexible main body is movable between a retracted configuration in which the golf clubs are not receivable into the storage reservoir through the open top and an expanded configuration in which the golf clubs can be selectively received through the open top.

  • Patent number: 5634210
    Abstract: A face shield is flexible and includes two side wings that are connected to a main body by living hinges and a face-engaging element that spaces the body away from the face of a wearer. A flexible band attaches the shield to the wearer. The face shield body is opaque to the sun and one form of the shield includes cutouts which are covered with sunglasses-type material. The body is preferably cardboard or other such material so the shield can be folded and bent for storage or to customize it for the particular wearer. The shield can be discarded after use if desired.
