Benefits of technology

[0005] The purpose of the invention is to offer a handle cover for a golf club possible to be fitted around a golf club by a user without any tool, and very tightly fitting around.
[0006] The feature of the invention is a handle cover consisting of a cylindrical body possible to fit around a handle portion of a golf club in an elastically tight condition, and an end cap closing up the upper end of the golf club. The cylindrical body has an elastic member to permit the cylindrical body easily expanded and shrunk for tightly fitted around a handle portion of a golf club without need of any tool.

Problems solved by technology

But a problem often come to a buyer, “How to fit the handle cover on the golf club?” So the diameter of a handle cover should be a little smaller than that of a golf club in order to tightly fit around the handle portion of a golf club.
Then a user are unable to expand a DIY handle cover got on the market without an auxiliary tool, or has to ask a skilled technician of a special store to do it, and has to pay some bucks.
In addition, the DIY handle cover loses its objective.

first embodiment

[0014] a handle cover for a golf club in the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, includes a hollow cylindrical body 11 and an end cap 12.

[0015] The hollow cylindrical body 11 is made of rubber, and having a diameter a little smaller than that of a golf club, as shown in FIG. 3 and a lengthwise wrinkled member 111 (maybe one or plural) to function as an elastic member of the cylindrical body 11 to permit the cylindrical body 11 expand easily outward by external force (i.e. expanding the inner diameter of the cylindrical body 11).

[0016] The end cap 12 is also made of rubber to close up the upper end of the cylindrical body 11 after fitted around the golf club. The end cap 12 is also possible to be formed with the cylindrical body 11 integral as one unit.

[0017] Next, FIG. 3 shows the handle cover 1 is combined with a golf club 2. A user can smoothly expand the cylindrical body 11 to a proper extent by means of the lengthwise wrinkled member 111, which enables the cylindrica...

second embodiment

[0018] a handle cover for a golf club according to the invention is shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, including a cylindrical body 11, an end cap 12 and an elastic member 13 of the same shape as the cylindrical body 11.

[0019] The cylindrical body 11 is made of rubber, having a lengthwise straight opening 112.

[0020] The end cap 12 is also made of rubber, closing up the upper end of the cylindrical body 11 after combined with a golf club 2.

[0021] The elastic member 13 is made of an elastic material such as an elastic band, having the same shape as the cylindrical body 11 to overlap around the cylindrical body 1 tightly to function as an elastic source for the cylindrical body 11 to easily expand diametrically (i.e. expanding the inner diameter of the cylindrical body 11).

[0022] Next, FIG. 5 shows the assembled condition of the second embodiment, with the elastic member 13 overlapped around the cylindrical body 11, and with the two ends of the elastic member 13 overlapped a little and then se...

Abstract

A handle cover for a golf club includes a hollow cylindrical body fitted around a handle portion of a golf club in a tight condition and an end cap closed up an upper end of the cylindrical body. The cylindrical body has an elastic member to let the cylindrical body provided with comparatively good elasticity to be easily expanded so that a user can fit it around a golf club without using any tool.
