Abstract

A golf club head cover for covering and quickly drying a wet golf club head. Condensed water on the golf club head is wicked through a hydrophobic layer and is then absorbed by a hydrophilic outer layer that covers the hydrophobic layer. Moisture is retained by the hydrophilic outer layer until it evaporates. In a preferred embodiment a hydrophilic inner layer surrounds the golf club head. The hydrophobic layer covers the hydrophilic inner layer. Condensed water in the hydrophilic inner layer is wicked through the hydrophobic layer and is absorbed by the hydrophilic outer layer until it evaporates. In a preferred embodiment the hydrophilic inner layer is a polyester blend where the polyester part has been chemically treated with a hydrophilic agent so that it can absorb water.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 ) A golf club head cover for covering and quickly drying a golf club head, comprising:
 A) a hydrophobic layer covering said golf club head, and   B) a hydrophilic outer layer covering said at least one hydrophobic layer,   wherein condensed water on said golf club head is pulled through said hydrophobic layer due to a wicking action and is absorbed by said hydrophilic outer layer until it evaporates.   
     
     
         2 ) The golf club head cover as in  claim 1 , further comprising a hydrophilic inner layer adjacent to said golf club head and covered by said hydrophobic layer. 
     
     
         3 ) The golf club head cover as in  claim 2 , wherein said hydrophilic inner layer is a polyester blend fabric. 
     
     
         4 ) The golf club head as in  claim 3 , wherein said polyester blend fabric comprises a polyester part that has been chemically treated so that said polyester part is hydrophilic. 
     
     
         5 ) The golf club head cover as in  claim 1 , wherein said at least one hydrophobic layer is a polyester knit. 
     
     
         6 ) The golf club head cover as in  claim 1 , wherein said hydrophilic outer layer is a nylon knit. 
     
     
         7 ) The golf club head cover as in  claim 1 , further comprising an air chamber hydrophobic layer between said hydrophobic layer and said hydrophilic outer layer. 
     
     
         8 ) The golf club head cover as in  claim 6 , wherein said air chamber hydrophobic layer comprises a plurality of monofilament polyester yarns interknitted between said at least one hydrophobic layer and said hydrophilic outer layer. 
     
     
         9 ) A golf club head cover for covering and quickly drying a golf club head, comprising:
 A) a hydrophilic inner layer adjacent to said golf club head,   B) two side sections, each side section comprising:
 1) a side section hydrophobic layer covering said hydrophilic inner layer, and 
 2) a side section hydrophilic outer layer covering said side section hydrophobic layer, wherein condensed water on said golf club head is pulled through said side section hydrophobic layer due to a wicking action and is absorbed by said side section hydrophilic outer layer wherein moisture is retained by said side section hydrophobic outer layer until it evaporates, and 
   C) an edge section, comprising an edge section hydrophilic outer layer covering said hydrophilic inner layer, wherein said edge section hydrophilic outer layer has a denier greater than the denier of said side section hydrophilic outer layer for increased durability.   
     
     
         10 ) The golf club head cover as in  claim 7 , further comprising a window attached to said edge section hydrophilic outer layer wherein said window permits the viewing of the number engraved on said golf club in said golf club head cover.
