AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0005] Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a holder for shafted sports equipment, namely, a ladies' lacrosse stick, and for additional small items, which overcomes the drawbacks of the prior art, and provides a convenient means for carrying the lacrosse stick.

[0006] It is another object to provide a ladies' lacrosse head cover that can be easily carried, e.g., by means of a shoulder strap, and which is at the same time large enough to contain the head of the lacrosse stick and accessory items, yet small enough to be convenient and stylish.

[0008] It is a related object to provide a lacrosse stick head cover that permits the head of the lacrosse stick to be quickly inserted into the storage compartment and closed up, and which also allows the lacrosse stick to be quickly and easily removed when needed for play or practice.

Problems solved by technology

To date, there have been no convenient carrying bags for women's lacrosse equipment, and no means for convenient storage of accessories or small items of sports equipment, e.g., gloves, balls, etc., except to have them in a standard player's travel bag.

These bags are bulky and heavy.

However, to date no carrying bag has been proposed that takes into account the rather small amount of equipment needed to be carried by the women or girls on the team.
