GOLF CLUB HEAD COVER
The present invention is related to an improved golf club head cover comprising a main body in a tubular shape having a receiving portion with a wider width and an opening portion with a narrower width and characterized in that a front side of the main body of the head cover comprises a left flipping piece and a right flipping piece; an extendable cloth is provided at a front edge portion between the two flipping pieces; a soft metal plate is provided inside the left flipping piece and an a restraining piece with magnets is provided inside the right flipping piece and extends outward therefrom. By covering a golf club head with the improved golf club head cover having such unique structure of the present invention, the club head can be advantageously protected from unnecessary impacts or scratches that may cause damages to the golf club head.
The present invention is related to a technical improvement for golf related equipment, in particular, to an improved golf club head cover.
(B) DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ARTGolf club head covers are commonly used for protecting the golf club head of such as the one for a driver or an iron club in order to prevent unnecessary impacts or scratches that may cause damages on the club head by covering the head portion thereof. Nevertheless, the golf club head covers are required to not only provide adequate protection to the club head but also to be practical and useful on the field. U.S. Patent Publication No. US2005/0016648A1 and U.S. Patent Publication No. US2006/0201596A1 both disclose designs for a golf club head cover. Both of the structures of the two head covers utilize a flip-to-open design allowing the club head to be placed therein, and a magnetic type elastic strip is only being provided at the edge of the flip-opened side of the head cover such that once the club head is inserted therein, the elastic strip is able to automatically close up the flip-opened side with its recovery elasticity in order to cover the club head therein. However, such use of magnetic type elastic strip on the head cover is of a rather limited restraining force, which tends to cause slippage of the head cover off the club head without providing sufficient and effective effects that the head cover is designed and used for. There is a need for an improved golf club head cover with enhanced practical and useful merits.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONIn view of the aforementioned drawback associated with known golf club head cover, a primary objective of the present invention is to provide an improved golf club head cover capable of overcoming the insufficient usefulness of the known golf club head cover and providing greater practical usages and merits with a novel structural design.
Accordingly, based on the technical problem encountered, the present invention provides a technical solution of a novel and improved golf club head cover comprising a main body in a tubular shape having a receiving portion with a wider width and an opening portion with a narrower width and characterized in that a front side of the main body of the head cover comprises a left flipping piece and a right flipping piece; an extendable cloth made of a thin fabric is provided at a front edge portion between the two flipping pieces; a soft metal plate is provided at an internal of the left flipping piece and an a restraining piece with magnets is provided at an internal of the right flipping piece and extends outward therefrom. By covering a golf club head with the improved golf club head cover of the present invention having such unique structure, the golf club head can be advantageously protected from unnecessary impacts or scratches that may cause damages to the club head.
Furthermore, an internal of the left flipping piece can be provided with magnets and an internal of the restraining piece of the right flipping piece can be provided with a soft metal plate.
