Club head cover

Abstract

A club head cover includes a head-protecting member for enclosing a club head, a cover body for separately enclosing a club shaft, the cover body being provided with a longitudinal opening and connected to the head protecting member, and a device for biasing the cover body in a direction where the opening is reduced, whereby, when the club shaft is enclosed by the cover body, an inner wall of the cover body can tightly contact the club shaft.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A club head cover comprising: 
 a head-protecting member for enclosing a club head;    a cover body for separately enclosing a club shaft, the cover body being provided with a longitudinal opening and connected to the head protecting member; and    means for biasing the cover body in a direction where the opening is reduced, whereby, when the club shaft is enclosed by the cover body, an inner wall of the cover body can tightly contact the club shaft.    
     
     
         2 . A club head cover of  claim 1  wherein the means for biasing is selected from the group consisting of a flat spring, a rubber clip, and a coil spring.  
     
     
         3 . A club head cover of  claim 1  wherein the means for biasing is realized by forming the cover body using elastic material through a foam process.  
     
     
         4 . A club head cover of  claim 1  wherein the cover body comprises first and second members, and the means for biasing comprises an elastic members inserted into insertion grooves and fixed by screws.  
     
     
         5 . A club head cover of  claim 4  wherein the elastic member comprises a flat spring, both side ends of which are inserted into the longitudinal insertion grooves to bias the first and second members toward each other.  
     
     
         6 . A club head cover of  claim 1  wherein the cover body comprises first and second members facing each other, the first and second members being provided at the inner walls with horizontal coupling holes in which the elastic member is inserted and at a lower-inner wall with guide portion.  
     
     
         7 . A club head cover of  claim 6  wherein the elastic member comprises a rubber clip having a horizontal portion and vertical portions formed on opposite ends of the horizontal portion.  
     
     
         8 . A club head cover of  claim 6  wherein the guide portion comprises a receiving portion formed on an inner wall of the first member and a protruded portion formed on an inner wall of the second member and pivotally coupled on the receiving portion.  
     
     
         9 . A club head cover of  claim 1  wherein the cover body comprises first and second members facing each other, the first and second members being provided at the inner walls with horizontal coupling holes in which the elastic member is inserted and at a lower-inner wall with guide portion, the first and second member being further provided with sub-holes in which both ends of the elastic member are hooked, and the first and second members being further provided at a lower-inner wall with a guide portion.  
     
     
         10 . A club head cover of  claim 7  wherein the elastic member comprises a tension spring provided at opposite ends with hooks hooked on the sub-holes.  
     
     
         11 . A club head cover of  claim 1  wherein the opening becomes a gap through which the club shaft is inserted in the cover body.  
     
     
         12 . A club head cover comprising: 
 a head protecting member for enclosing a club head; and    an elastic receiving portion that is formed through a foaming process and connected to the head-protecting member, an insertion opening, through which the club head is inserted in or separated from the receiving portion, being formed on the receiving portion in a longitudinal direction.    
     
     
         13 . A club head cover of  claim 11  wherein the receiving portion is further provided at frames defining the opening with a pair of guides for guiding the shaft into or out of the receiving portion.
