Golf article cleaner
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing golf article cleaners are inadequate for cleaning golf balls and club heads of various sizes, often requiring one-handed operation and failing to effectively clean grooves and surfaces, while also being prone to contaminating the user's clothing and encumbering golf swings.
Innovation Solution
A golf article cleaner with an expandable cleaning area, featuring a stacked inner surface portion with detachable upper portions and a magnet member to maintain the structure, allowing for effective cleaning of both golf balls and club heads using both hands, while being waterproof and easy to store.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a general towel structure is used for cleaning golf articles, then the cleaner can be carried and used conveniently, but only the surface portion of the golf ball is cleaned and dimples are not effectively cleaned
Solution Approach 1:
The inner surface portion is divided into a first inner surface portion and a second inner surface portion continuing from the first, where the second portion has different cleaning characteristics to effectively clean dimples and grooves while the first portion handles general surface cleaning, allowing different regions of the cleaner to have specialized functions for different cleaning needs
2Object-affected harmful factors
If the cleaner is made with a waterproof outer surface portion, then contamination spread is prevented, but the cleaner may encumber golf swings and contaminate user clothing
Solution Approach 1:
The cleaner is segmented into an inner surface portion for cleaning and an outer surface portion with waterproof properties, allowing the waterproof feature to contain contamination within the cleaner structure while the overall compact design prevents interference with golf swings and clothing contamination
3Adaptability or versatility
If the cleaning area is expanded to clean various sizes of golf articles, then both golf balls and club heads can be cleaned effectively, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The upper portion of the first inner surface portion and the upper portion of the second inner surface portion are detachably deployed, allowing the cleaning area to be expanded or reduced based on the size of the golf article being cleaned, providing adaptability while maintaining a compact stored configuration
4Area of stationary object
If the inner surface portion is divided into stacked portions with detachable upper portions, then the cleaning area can be expanded, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The first inner surface portion and the second inner surface portion are arranged in a stacked configuration where the second portion continues from the first, with detachable upper portions that can be deployed to expand the cleaning area or nested together for compact storage, efficiently utilizing space while providing variable cleaning capacity

AI summary
The present invention relates to a golf article cleaner which can conveniently and cleanly wash a golf article during a golf game process and which is easy to store and thus can prevent the spread of contamination after washing the golf article. The golf article cleaner includes an inner surface portion that functions as an inner shell and washes the golf article, and an outer surface portion that functions as an outer shell and is sewn around the inner surface portion, wherein the inner surface portion is composed of a first inner surface part and a second inner surface part, which are separate in an overlapping state, the second inner surface part being provided to be continuous from the first inner surface part, and, in order to enlarge a washing area, the upper portion of the first inner surface part and the upper portion of the second inner surface part are configured to be detachably deployed, so that foreign substances attached to the surface and grooves of the golf article can be easily washed.
