[Background technology]

[0001] 1.Technical Field FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE The present disclosure relates generally to golf bags. More specifically, the golf bags disclosed herein include a protective layer extending along the length of the exterior surface of the golf bag. The golf bag includes: The cap may further comprise: Extending the protective layer along the length of the exterior surface of the cap do.

[0002] 2. Description of Related Technology Golf bags are almost always used by golfers. That It is necessary for the serious play of the sport. A golf bag is usually suitable for storing several golf clubs, each of which is a different type of club. For example, Put in and carried A golfer's set of golf clubs may contain clubs that excel at the particular types of golf shots that may be encountered during a typical round of golf. Types of golf clubs may include a sand wedge for hitting the ball out of a sand bunker, one or more so-called irons for hitting the ball in a high arc, a driver for hitting the ball in a long arc, and a putter for putting on the green. The more types of clubs in a bag, the more skilled a golfer will be. Golf This increases the likelihood of using the ideal club during the round.

[0003] Golf bags typically include: Ground and Returned to the bag by the unfortunate golfer Ruku Love and Golf bags have been equipped with a plastic or metal layer on the base to protect the bag from both the impact and the impact. The purpose of this base is to allow the golf bag to stand more or less upright. Possible This ensures that your bag is protected from wet, muddy or rocky conditions and prevents your golf clubs from getting stuck in the bag. accommodate The purpose of the bag was to support the fabric at the bottom of the golf bag. Some golf clubs have what is called a "kickstand" or a stand that attaches to the bag to support the bag off the ground. NobuThe conventional golf bag has a support that supports the golfer. Historically, For mud, dew, rain, grass stains, and other natural conditions , earth It is not intended to be placed on a surface.

[0004] U.S. Patent No. 9,474,949 describes a golf bag with a protective cover attached along the outer surface. profit This patent teaches a golf bag base that holds the bag to the ground. above At the same time, especially It is intended to protect the bag from natural elements such as mud, dew, rain, grass stains, etc. This golf bag base is intended to flex on a slope when the base is placed on a slope. therefore The breaks in the flexible area of ​​the golf bag base are provided to allow the base to fully contact the ground even when placed on an inclined surface.

[0005] However, conventional golf bags are not intended to lie flat on the ground without being temporarily or permanently soiled by natural conditions. While some golfers may find it inconvenient to place their golf bag on the ground, the golf bag placed on the ground will not tip over and damage the valuable clubs inside. Furthermore, the golf bag disclosed herein is intended to be optionally laid flat on the ground or left upright during use, thereby allowing substantially all of the golf bag to remain on the ground even in uneven conditions. above To some extent, it can be made to stand still. flexible It is desirable to provide a golf bag with this functionality.

[0006] Therefore, there is a need to provide a golf bag that includes a protective layer and provides a cap with the protective layer to protect the valuable golf clubs within the golf bag. Such a golf bag can provide a degree of protection by providing the protective layer in a manner that varies in width over the length of the golf bag. flexible There is a further need to ensure that sexuality is accessible.

[0007] overview Consistent with embodiments disclosed herein, a golf bag is disclosed. The golf bag includes a body. The body may include a protective layer extending along the length of the body of the golf bag. The golf bag includes: It may further include a removable cap, which also Protective layer that runs along the length of the cap of Contains nothing.

[0008] In another embodiment, a golf bag is disclosed. The golf bag may include a protective layer disposed along the entire length of the golf bag. The protective layer may include a first width, a second width, and a third width. The first width may be wider than the second width and the third width. The second width may be narrower than the first width and the third width. The third width may be narrower than the first width. Width Narrower than the second width Width It may be wider than that.

[0009] The accompanying drawings illustrate several embodiments of golf bags and are incorporated into this specification. The illustrated embodiments are exemplary and are not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure. [Brief explanation of the drawings]
