Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
I claim: 
     
         1 . A golf club head cover device comprising:
 a sheet material, said sheet material comprising a first edge and a second edge opposite said first edge, said second edge comprising a notch and a flap adjacent to said notch, wherein when said first edge and said second edge are coupled said sheet material takes on a tubular shape having a heel opening and a toe opening at opposite ends of said tubular shape, said flap overlays said first edge, and said notch is open to an interior of said tubular shape, said sheet material further comprising a leading edge connecting said first edge and said second edge, said leading edge comprising a curvilinear segment, wherein when said sheet material is formed into said tubular shape said curvilinear segment forms a tab adjacent to said toe opening, said tab comprising a permanent bend forming a hook adjacent to said toe opening.   
     
     
         2 . The golf club head cover device of  claim 1 , wherein said sheet material comprises a semi-rigid material. 
     
     
         3 . The golf club head cover device of  claim 1 , wherein said sheet material comprises two or more layers. 
     
     
         4 . The golf club head cover device of  claim 1 , wherein said sheet material further comprises a trailing edge connecting said first edge and said second edge, said trailing edge comprising a curvilinear segment, wherein when said sheet material is formed into said tubular shape said curvilinear segment forms a tab adjacent to said heel opening. 
     
     
         5 . A golf club head cover device comprising:
 a sheet material, said sheet material comprising a first edge and a second edge opposite said first edge, said second edge comprising a notch and a flap adjacent to said notch, wherein when said first edge and said second edge are coupled, said sheet material takes on a tubular shape having a heel opening and a toe opening at opposite ends of said tubular shape, said flap overlays said first edge, and said notch is open to an interior of said tubular shape, said sheet material further comprising a trailing edge connecting said first edge and said second edge, said trailing edge comprising a curvilinear segment, wherein when said sheet material is formed into said tubular shape said curvilinear segment forms a tab adjacent to said heel opening, said tab comprising a permanent bend forming a hook adjacent to said heel opening.   
     
     
         6 . The golf club head cover device of  claim 5 , wherein said sheet material comprises a semi-rigid material. 
     
     
         7 . The golf club head cover device of  claim 5 , wherein said sheet material comprises two or more layers. 
     
     
         8 . The golf club head cover device of  claim 5 , wherein said sheet material further comprises a leading edge connecting said first edge and said second edge, said leading edge comprising a curvilinear segment, wherein when said sheet material is formed into said tubular shape said curvilinear segment forms a tab adjacent to said toe opening. 
     
     
         9 . A golf club head cover device comprising:
 a tubular material having a heel opening and a toe opening at opposite ends of said tubular material, said heel opening and said toe opening being unobstructed, said tubular material being constructed of a sheet material formed into a tubular shape, said sheet material having at least a first edge and a second edge, wherein said first edge and said second edge are coupled to create said tubular shape, said toe opening comprises an external tab adjacent to said toe opening, said tab comprising a permanent bend forming a hook adjacent to said toe opening;   a notch in said tubular material, said notch being open to an interior of said tubular material;   a gap in said tubular material, said gap extending between said heel opening and said notch, said gap being open to an interior of said tubular material; and   a flap in said tubular material adjacent to said notch, said flap overlaying said gap, said flap comprising a border that is oriented toward said notch.   
     
     
         10 . The golf club head cover device of  claim 9 , wherein said tubular material comprises a semi-rigid material. 
     
     
         11 . The golf club head cover device of  claim 9 , wherein said tubular material comprises two or more layers. 
     
     
         12 . The golf club head cover device of  claim 9 , wherein said heel opening comprises an external tab adjacent to said heel opening. 
     
     
         13 . A golf club head cover device comprising:
 a tubular material having a heel opening and a toe opening at opposite ends of said tubular material, said heel opening and said toe opening being unobstructed, said tubular material being constructed of a sheet material formed into a tubular shape, said sheet material having at least a first edge and a second edge, wherein said first edge and said second edge are coupled to create said tubular shape, said heel opening comprises an external tab adjacent to said heel opening, said tab comprising a permanent bend forming a hook adjacent to said heel opening;   a notch in said tubular material, said notch being open to an interior of said tubular material;   a gap in said tubular material; said gap extending between said heel opening and said notch, said gap being open to an interior of said tubular material; and   a flap in said tubular material adjacent to said notch, said flap overlaying said gap, said flap comprising a border that is oriented toward said notch.   
     
     
         14 . The golf club head cover device of  claim 13 , wherein said tubular material comprises a semi-rigid material. 
     
     
         15 . The golf club head cover device of  claim 13 , wherein said tubular material comprises two or more layers. 
     
     
         16 . The golf club head cover device of  claim 13 , wherein said toe opening comprises an external tab adjacent to said toe opening.
