Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] The present disclosure relates to a method and kit for repairing a golf bag. [Background technology]
[0002] A golf bag has a cylindrical portion that opens upward, and its inside is divided into a number of tubes that can each accommodate one or more golf clubs. That is, a golf bag has a number of club storage tubes, and a partition is formed between two adjacent club storage tubes to separate them. In many golf bags, the partition is made of a soft material such as cloth. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0003] When inserting a golf club into the club storage tube, the tip of the grip may hit and rub against the partition. As a result, if the golf bag is used for a long period of time, the partition may tear. When this tear occurs, the lower part of the golf club (the grip) may get stuck in the torn part. This makes it difficult to insert and remove the golf club smoothly. [Means for solving the problem]
[0004] The golf bag to which the repair method proposed in this disclosure is applied has a first club storage tube, a second club storage tube, and a partition separating the first club storage tube and the second club storage tube. The repair method for the golf bag includes rolling a first protective sheet into a cylindrical shape, inserting the cylindrical first protective sheet with open upper and lower ends into the first club storage tube, and fixing the position of the first protective sheet inserted into the first club storage tube. This repair method allows smooth insertion and removal of golf clubs even if the partition of the golf bag is torn.
[0005] The golf bag to which the repair kit proposed in this disclosure is applied has a first club storage tube, a second club storage tube, and a partition separating the first club storage tube and the second club storage tube. The repair kit has a first protective sheet made of a flexible material and rollable into a cylindrical shape for insertion into the first club storage tube, and a second protective sheet made of a flexible material and rollable into a cylindrical shape for insertion into the second club storage tube. With this repair kit, even if the partition of the golf bag is torn, golf clubs can be smoothly inserted and removed.
[0006] The repair method and the repair kit may be applied to a golf bag in which the divider is not torn, in which case the repair method and the repair kit can protect the divider of the golf bag. [Brief description of the drawings]

[Diagram 2] 1 is a perspective view for explaining a repair method, showing a state in which a protective sheet rolled into a cylindrical shape is inserted into a club storage tube of a golf bag. [Diagram 3] FIG. 13 is a diagram showing a fixing sheet (fixing member) constituting the repair kit. [Figure 4] Fig. 1 is a perspective view for explaining a repair method, showing a state in which a fixing sheet is attached to the inner surfaces of two protective sheets rolled into a cylindrical shape. [Diagram 5] 11 is a cross-sectional view for explaining a repair method, showing how the protective sheet rolled into a cylindrical shape is inserted into the club storage tube and the position of the protective sheet is fixed by the fixing sheet; DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0008] The golf bag repair method and repair kit proposed in the present disclosure will be described below with reference to the drawings. In this specification, as an example of the repair kit, repair kit B having protective sheets 10A to 10E and fixing sheets 20A to 20F shown in Figs. 1 to 5 will be described as an example.
[0009] In the following, in descriptions where multiple protective sheets are distinguished, the protective sheets are referred to with reference symbols such as "10A", "10B", etc. In descriptions where multiple protective sheets are not distinguished, the protective sheets are referred to with reference symbol "10". Similarly, in descriptions where multiple fixing sheets are distinguished, the fixing sheets are referred to with reference symbols such as "20A", "20B", etc. In contrast, in descriptions where multiple fixing sheets are not distinguished, the fixing sheet is referred to with reference symbol "20".
[0010] [Golf bag] As shown in FIG. 2, the golf bag 90 is cylindrical and opens upward, and its inside is divided into a plurality of regions. That is, the golf bag 90 has a plurality of club storage tubes 91A to 91E. In the following description, the club storage tubes 91A, 91B to 91E are referred to by the reference numeral 91 in the description without distinguishing between them. A partition 92 (see FIG. 5) is formed between two adjacent club storage tubes 91. In the example shown in FIG. 2, the golf bag 90 has five club storage tubes 91. The number and shape (shape when the golf bag 90 is viewed in a plan view) of the club storage tubes 91 are not limited to the example shown in FIG. 2. As shown in FIG. 5, the lower end 92a of the partition 92 may be connected to the bottom 90a of the golf bag 90 or may be separated from the bottom 90a.
[0011] [Protective sheet] The repair kit B has, for example, protective sheets 10 in a number corresponding to the number of the club storage tubes 91 or more. As shown in FIG. 1, the protective sheet 10 is, for example, a substantially rectangular sheet. The shape of the protective sheet 10 may be a trapezoid or a parallelogram. The protective sheet 10 is made of a flexible resin. For example, the protective sheet 10 is made of a vinyl chloride resin. In the repair work described later, the protective sheet 10 is rolled into a cylindrical shape and inserted into the club storage tube 91. The material of the protective sheet 10 is not limited to this. The protective sheet 10 may be light-transmitting or colored. The multiple protective sheets 10 constituting the repair kit B may all have the same size and shape, or may be of multiple types that are different from each other.
[0012] The height of the protective sheet 10 (the size in the direction indicated by D1 in FIG. 1) may be smaller than the depth of the club storage tube 91. This allows the protective sheet 10 to be used for repairing golf bags 90 of different depths.
[0013] As shown in FIG. 1, a hook-and-loop fastener is attached to an end of the protective sheet 10 in the width direction (the direction indicated by D2 in FIG. 1). The hook-and-loop fastener has a first hook-and-loop fastener 11A and a second hook-and-loop fastener 11B that can be attached and separated from each other. The first hook-and-loop fastener 11A is attached to one surface of the protective sheet 10. A plurality of the first hook-and-loop fasteners 11A are arranged along the height direction of the protective sheet 10. The second hook-and-loop fastener 11B is attached to the opposite surface. As shown in FIG. 2, in repair work of the golf bag 90, the protective sheet 10 is rolled into a cylindrical shape. By attaching the first hook-and-loop fastener 11A and the second hook-and-loop fastener 11B to each other, the shape of the protective sheet 10 is maintained as a cylindrical shape.
[0014] A plurality of first hook-and-loop fasteners 11A (three first hook-and-loop fasteners 11A in FIG. 1) are arranged at intervals in the height direction (D1 direction). Similarly, a plurality of second hook-and-loop fasteners 11B are arranged at intervals in the height direction (D1 direction). Corresponding first hook-and-loop fasteners 11A and second hook-and-loop fasteners 11B are located at the same height.
[0015] At least one of the hook-and-loop fasteners 11A and 11B may have an elongated shape in the width direction of the protective sheet 10. This ensures a degree of freedom in the size (diameter) of the protective sheet 10 rolled into a cylindrical shape. That is, the protective sheet 10 to be fitted inside a large-sized club storage tube 91 can be rolled into a cylindrical shape with a large size (diameter), and the protective sheet 10 to be fitted inside a small-sized club storage tube 91 can be rolled into a cylindrical shape with a small size (diameter). There are no particular limitations on the type of hook-and-loop fasteners 11A and 11B as long as the size of the rolled cylindrical protective sheet 10 can be adjusted.
[0016] [Fixing sheet (fixing material)] As shown in Fig. 3, the fixing sheet 20 is, for example, a substantially rectangular sheet. The fixing sheet 20 has, for example, a flexible resin base material 21. The base material 21 is formed of, for example, polyvinyl chloride resin. In a repair work described later, the fixing sheet 20 is bent into a U-shape and attached to the upper edge 92b of the partition 92 of the golf bag 90 so as to cover the upper edge 92b (see Figs. 4 and 5). The width of the fixing sheet 20 (the size in the direction indicated by D4 in Fig. 4) may be the same as or smaller than the width of the partition 92.
[0017] The fixing sheet 20 may have a cushion sheet 22 attached to one surface of the base material 21. This makes it possible to protect the golf club when the golf club is inserted into the club housing tube 91. The cushion sheet 22 may be made of, for example, felt. The material of the cushion sheet 22 may be an elastomer.
[0018] Hook and loop fasteners 23A and 23B may be attached to both ends of the fixing sheet 20 in the longitudinal direction (the direction indicated by D3 in FIG. 3). The first hook and loop fastener 23A has an adhesive surface attached to one surface of the base material 21 with an adhesive, and a fastener surface 23a on the opposite side. The second hook and loop fastener 23B has an adhesive surface 23c and a fastener surface on the opposite side. The fastener surface 23a of the first hook and loop fastener 23A and the fastener surface of the second hook and loop fastener 23B can be attached to or separated from each other.
[0019] In the repair work, first, the fastener surface 23a of the first hook-and-loop fastener 23A and the fastener surface of the second hook-and-loop fastener 23B are attached to each other, and the adhesive surface 23c of the second hook-and-loop fastener 23B is exposed. In the repair process, the adhesive surface 23c of the second hook-and-loop fastener 23B is adhered to the inner surface of the protective sheet 10 inserted in the club housing tube 91. A protective film may be attached to the adhesive surface 23c of the second hook-and-loop fastener 23B.
[0020] [Repair method] A method for repairing the golf bag 90 will now be described.
[0021] First, as shown in Fig. 2, multiple protective sheets 10 are rolled into a cylindrical shape. Then, hook-and-loop fasteners 11A and 11B are used to maintain the cylindrical shape of each protective sheet 10. That is, a first hook-and-loop fastener 11A attached to one edge of protective sheet 10 and a second hook-and-loop fastener 11B attached to the opposite edge are attached to each other. As a result, a tube with openings at both the top and bottom ends is formed by protective sheet 10.
[0022] At this time, the diameter of the tube made of the protective sheet 10 may be adjusted to the size of the club housing tube 91 into which the protective sheet 10 is to be inserted. That is, the relative positions of the first and second hook-and-loop fasteners 11A and 11B are adjusted so that the diameter of the tube of the protective sheet 10 to be inserted into a small-sized club housing tube 91 is small. Conversely, the relative positions of the first and second hook-and-loop fasteners 11A and 11B are adjusted so that the diameter of the tube of the protective sheet 10 to be inserted into a large-sized club housing tube 91 is large.
[0023] 2, the protective sheet 10 rolled into a cylindrical shape is inserted into the club housing tube 91. Since the protective sheet 10 is flexible, when the protective sheet 10 is inserted into the club housing tube 91, the shape (cylindrical shape) of the protective sheet 10 is deformed to fit the club housing tube 91. As a result, the protective sheet 10 is arranged along the inner surface of the club housing tube 91 and covers the partition 92. This makes it possible to prevent a golf club from getting stuck in the torn portion even if the partition 92 is torn. The protective sheet 10 may be inserted into all of the club housing tubes 91, or may be inserted into only some of the club housing tubes 91 (for example, the club housing tube 91 with a torn partition 92).
[0024] As described above, the height of the protective sheet 10 (size in the D1 direction shown in FIG. 1) may be smaller than the depth of the club storage tube 91 (the distance from the upper edge 92b of the partition 92 to the bottom 90a of the golf bag 90). By setting the height of the protective sheet 10 in this manner, the protective sheet 10 can be used to repair golf bags 90 of different depths. The height of the protective sheet 10 may be greater than half the depth of the club storage tube 91. The height of the protective sheet 10 may be greater than 2 / 3 the depth of the club storage tube 91.
[0025] Since the height of the protective sheet 10 is smaller than the depth of the club storage tube 91, the lower end 10a of the protective sheet 10 is floating above the bottom 90a of the golf bag 90, as shown in Fig. 5. Therefore, the vertical position of the protective sheet 10 is fixed by a fixing sheet 20 to prevent the protective sheet 10 from shifting downward.
[0026] 3, the adhesive surfaces of the first hook-and-loop fastener 23A are adhered to both ends of the base material 21 of the fixing sheet 20, and the fastener surface of the second hook-and-loop fastener 23B is bonded to the fastener surface 23a of the first hook-and-loop fastener 23A. The adhesive surface 23c of the second hook-and-loop fastener 23B is exposed. If a protective film is attached to the adhesive surface 23c, the worker peels off the protective film.
[0027] 4, the adhesive surface 23c of the second hook-and-loop fastener 23B provided at one end of the fixing sheet 20 is attached to the inner surface of the protective sheet 10 inserted into the club housing tube 91. The fixing sheet 20 is also curved into a U-shape so that the upper edge 92b (see FIG. 5) of the partition 92 is covered with the fixing sheet 20. The adhesive surface 23c of the second hook-and-loop fastener 23B attached to the opposite end of the fixing sheet 20 is then attached to the inner surface of the protective sheet 10 inserted into the adjacent club housing tube 91. As a result, the vertical positions of the two adjacent protective sheets 10 are fixed by the fixing sheet 20.
[0028] In this manner, hook-and-loop fasteners 23A and 23B are used to attach the fixing sheet 20 and the protective sheet 10, so that, for example, after their adhesive surfaces are attached to the fixing sheet 20 and the protective sheet 10, the position of the protective sheet 10 can be readjusted.
[0029] [Variations] It should be noted that the repair kit B and the repair method are not limited to the above-mentioned examples.
[0030] For example, in the example shown in the figures, adhesive or double-sided tape may be used to attach the fixing sheet 20 to the protective sheet 10, instead of the hook-and-loop fasteners 23A and 23B. As another example, hook-and-loop fasteners 23A and 23B may be used at one end of the fixing sheet 20, and the other end of the fixing sheet 20 may be directly attached to the protective sheet 10 with an adhesive.
[0031] In the example shown in the figure, the fixing member for fixing the position of the protective sheet 10 in the depth direction of the club storage tube 91 may be a clip that uses elastic force to pinch the upper edge 92b of the partition 92 and the upper edge of the protective sheet 10, instead of the fixing sheet 20. In this case, the fixing member may be made of metal. Also, a cushion such as felt or elastomer may be attached to the surface of the fixing member. When the fixing member is such a clip, only one protective sheet 10 may be inserted into the golf bag 90, and the protective sheet 10 may be fixed to the upper edge 92b of the partition 92 by the fixing member.
[0032] [summary] (1) In the repair method described above, the first protective sheet 10A is rolled into a cylindrical shape, and the cylindrical first protective sheet 10A with open upper and lower ends is inserted into the first club housing tube 91A. Then, the position of the first protective sheet 10A inserted into the first club housing tube 91A is fixed. This makes it possible to smoothly insert and remove golf clubs into and from the first club housing tube 91A even if the divider 92 of the golf bag is torn. Furthermore, when this repair method is applied to a golf bag in which the divider 92 is not torn, the occurrence of tears in the divider 92 can be suppressed.
[0033] (2) In the repair method of (1), the rolled up shape of the first protective sheet 10A is maintained in a cylindrical shape by a hook-and-loop fastener attached to the first protective sheet 10A. This makes it possible to adjust the size of the tube formed by the first protective sheet 10A according to the size of the club storage tube 91A.
[0034] (3) In the repair method of (1) or (2), the second protective sheet 10B is rolled into a cylindrical shape, and the cylindrical second protective sheet 10B with open upper and lower ends is inserted into the second club storage tube 91B. Then, the position of the second protective sheet 10B inserted into the second club storage tube 91B is fixed. This makes it possible to smoothly insert and remove golf clubs into and from the second club storage tube 91B even if the divider 92 of the golf bag is torn. Furthermore, when this repair method is applied to a golf bag in which the divider 92 is not torn, the occurrence of tears in the divider 92 can be suppressed.
[0035] In the repair method of (4) and (3), a part of the fixing sheet 20A covering the upper edge of the partition 92 is attached to the first protective sheet 10A inserted into the first club housing tube 91A, and another part of the fixing sheet 20A is attached to the second protective sheet 10B inserted into the second club housing tube 91B. This makes it possible to adjust the attachment position of the fixing sheet 20A to the protective sheets 10A and 10B according to the positions and sizes of the club housing tubes 91A and 91B.
[0036] In the repair methods (5) and (4), the fixing sheet 20A is attached to at least one of the first protective sheet 10A and the second protective sheet 10B with a hook-and-loop fastener, which allows the positions of the protective sheets 10A and 10B (positions in the depth direction of the club housing tubes 91A and 91B) to be adjusted.
[0037] (6) The repair kit B described above includes a first protective sheet 10A made of a flexible material that can be rolled into a cylindrical shape and for insertion into the first club storage tube 91A, and a second protective sheet 10B made of a flexible material that can be rolled into a cylindrical shape and for insertion into the second club storage tube 91B. This allows golf clubs to be smoothly inserted and removed from the club storage tubes 91A and 91B even if the divider 92 of the golf bag is torn. Furthermore, when this repair method is applied to a golf bag in which the divider 92 is not torn, the occurrence of tears in the divider 92 can be suppressed.
[0038] In the repair kits of (7) and (6), the first protective sheet 10A and the second protective sheet 10B each have a first hook-and-loop fastener 11A and a second hook-and-loop fastener 11B that can be attached to each other, and the rolled-up shape of the protective sheets 10A and 10B can be maintained in a cylindrical shape by attaching the first hook-and-loop fastener 11A and the second hook-and-loop fastener 11B together. This allows the size of the tube formed by the protective sheets 10A and 10B to be adjusted according to the size of the club storage tubes 91A and 91B.
[0039] The repair kits of (8) and (6) have a fixing sheet 20A that is attached to the inner surface of the first protective sheet 10A inserted into the first club housing tube 91A and is attached to the inner surface of the second protective sheet 10B inserted into the second club housing tube 91B, and covers the upper edge of the partition 92. The positions of the protective sheets 10A and 10B inserted into the club housing tubes 91A and 91B (positions in the depth direction of the club housing tubes 91A and 91B) can be fixed by the fixing sheet 20A.
