Golf shoe brush

Abstract

An attachment for fastening a brush to a shoe. The attachment having a first (horizontal) flange extending to a second (vertical) flange. The first flange attaching to the sole of the shoe, with the second flange attaching to a wiping element such as a brush. The attachment could alternatively be provided with a disk-like single flange having threading allowing the attachment to be screwed into a standard golf shoe threaded spike hole.

I claim:  
     
         1 . A golf shoe brush attachment adapted to be attached to a golf shoe for cleaning golf club heads, said golf shoe having a side wall, said brush attachment comprising: 
 a generally L-shaped bracket having a first flange generally perpendicular to a second flange, said first flange formed with at least one orifice defined therein able to receive and to engage a single spike projecting from an underside of said golf shoe, said second flange having an inner side opposite an outer side, said inner side facing and generally perpendicular to said golf shoe side wall when said first flange is frictionally held by said spike, said outer side defining a dovetail joint tendon for connection with a wiping element tendon;    a wiping element for wiping a golf club head, said wiping element being operative to clean a golf club head by a sweeping movement of said golf club head against the same, said wiping element comprising a dovetail joint tendon extending from said wiping element, said tendon configured to cooperate with said second flange mortise to allow for connection of said wiping element to said bracket.    
     
     
         2 . The brush attachment of  claim 1 , wherein said wiping element comprises a brush.  
     
     
         3 . The brush attachment of  claim 1 , wherein said wiping element comprises an absorbent material.  
     
     
         4 . The brush attachment of  claim 1 , wherein said connection between said tendon and aid mortise is releasable, thereby allowing said wiping element to be detached from said second flange.  
     
     
         5 . A golf shoe brush attachment adapted to be attached to a golf shoe for cleaning golf club heads, said golf shoe having a side wall, said brush attachment comprising: 
 a generally L-shaped bracket having a first flange generally perpendicular to a second flange, said first flange formed with at least one orifice defined therein able to receive and to be frictionally held by a single spike projecting from an underside of said golfer's shoe, said second flange having an inner side opposite an outer side, said inner side facing and generally perpendicular to said golfer's shoe side wall when said first flange is frictionally held by said spike;    a wiping element for wiping a golf club head, said wiping element comprising a number of bristles; and    a connection for connecting said wiping element to said second flange, said wiping element extending from said golf shoe generally perpendicular to and away from said outer side of said second flange, said wiping element being operative to clean a golf club head by a sweeping movement of said golf club head against the same.    
     
     
         6 . The brush attachment of  claim 5 , wherein said connection for connecting is releasable, thereby allowing said wiping element to be detached from said second flange.  
     
     
         7 . A golf shoe brush attachment adapted to be attached to a golf shoe for cleaning golf club heads, said golf shoe having a side wall, said attachment comprising: 
 a generally L-shaped bracket having a first flange generally perpendicular to a second flange, said first flange formed with at least one orifice defined therein able to receive and to be frictionally held by a single spike projecting from an underside of said golf shoe, said second flange having an inner side opposite an outer side, said inner side facing and generally perpendicular to said golf shoe side wall when said first flange is frictionally held by said spike;    a wiping element for wiping a golf club head, said wiping element comprising a number of bristles; and a connection for connecting said wiping element to said second flange, said wiping element extending from said golf shoe generally perpendicular to and away from said outer side of said second flange, said wiping element being operative to clean a golf club head by a sweeping movement of said golf club head against the same, wherein said connection for connecting is releasable, thereby allowing said wiping element to be detached from said second flange.
