Description

  The present invention relates to a club case used for storing and carrying a golf club, and more particularly to a club case suitable for carrying several golf clubs during a round of golf.

  During a golf round, all golf clubs except the putter are generally placed in a caddy bag, placed on a passenger golf cart, and the required golf club is selected according to the distance to the pin. I take it out of my bag and play.

And since the golf cart runs along a predetermined cart path, it is used after the tee shot to prevent the ball from going back and forth between the position of the cart and the cart, and to play quickly. As the golf club, about 3 to 5 golf clubs are selected and carried from fairway wood, pitching wedge, sand wedge, other irons, putters, and the like.
For this reason, conventionally, as described above, there has been proposed a small-sized club case with an open mouth that is suitable for moving with only a few golf clubs during a golf round (Patent Document 1, Patent) Reference 2).

However, such a conventional club case is formed in a circular shape so that the opening is opened as much as possible in consideration of the convenience of taking in and out of the golf club. Therefore, when a club case is carried around an undulating golf course, the club head that protrudes outside the club case is heavy, and the golf club may fall off because the opening side of the club case faces downward. There was a drawback that there was.
In particular, golf clubs stacked on other golf clubs in the club case easily slip off the other golf clubs and fall out of the club case.

  Note that the club case described in Patent Document 2 has a small-diameter circular opening, which is effective to some extent to prevent the golf club from falling off. However, since the opening is small, the golf club can be smoothly inserted and removed. There was a drawback that it was difficult to do.

As described above, in a conventional club case suitable for carrying only a few golf clubs during a golf round, the golf club is moving within the golf course without impairing the convenience of taking in and out of the golf club. No effective technique for preventing the golf club from falling out of the club case has been proposed.
In addition, the conventional club case provided with a leg for standing the club case on the ground and a stick-like bar member that pierces the ground also has a disadvantage that it increases in weight and is inconvenient for transportation and storage.

In addition, the problem that the golf club falls off during the round of golf as described above has also occurred in the self-play where the player holds the caddy bag.
This is the case when a conventional caddy bag has been considered to prevent the play of the golf club by inserting a grip into its inner bottom, but the caddy bag is almost horizontal. This is because it was not considered to prevent the golf club from falling off (Patent Documents 3 and 4).

  In particular, in the conventional caddy bag, once the grip end of the golf club held so as to be sandwiched between the inner bottom portions of the caddy bag is once removed from the inner bottom portion, an effective action for preventing the golf club from falling off is exhibited thereafter. It never happened.

  Thus, the problem to be solved by the present invention is that a club case suitable for use when carrying a golf club to be used during a round of golf, the golf club falls off while moving on the golf course. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a club case that solves such a problem.

  Furthermore, another object of the present invention is to provide a club case suitable for carrying several golf clubs used during a golf round, without compromising the convenience of taking in and out of the golf clubs. An object of the present invention is to provide a club case that solves the problem of a golf club falling off while moving on a golf course.

The present invention provides a main body having a golf club storage portion, an opening and a grip formed at the top of the main body portion, and an inner surface of the storage portion to prevent the golf club from falling out of the storage portion. And a non-slip portion that is disposed in a substantially central portion of the golf club and contacts a shaft of the golf club,
The anti-slip portion is formed along the inner surface of the main body portion on the side where the grip portion is provided, and the main body portion is made of a flexible material that is deformed by the weight of the golf club. In the state where the anti-slip portion comes into contact with the shaft of the golf club based on the deformation of the storage portion due to the weight of the club, and the club case is almost upright, the main body portion of the club case depends on the weight of the golf club. The club case with the anti-slip portion hardly contacting the shaft is the main feature because it hardly deforms .
An anti-slip portion may also be provided near the bottom of the inner surface of the storage portion so as to contact the shaft and grip of the golf club.

The main body portion is formed of a flexible material that can support the weight of the golf club stored in the storage portion, and that is deformed by the weight of the golf club, in a substantially central portion or near the opening of the storage portion. In addition, the anti-slip portion may come into contact with the shaft of the golf club based on deformation of the storage portion due to the weight of the golf club.
Further, the main body portion may include a cylindrical shape retaining material in the opening portion, and the storage portion may be formed so that a lower portion is gradually narrowed.

  The anti-slip portion may be made of polyvinyl chloride or polyurethane, and the anti-slip portion stores the synthetic leather or artificial leather so that the surface of the synthetic leather or artificial leather is in contact with the shaft of the golf club. You may be comprised by arrange | positioning on the inner surface of a part.

  The surface material constituting the non-slip portion is a golf club suspended by folding a 21 cm wide surface material on which a golf club shaft is horizontally mounted, and the golf club grip side is horizontally placed at 50 mm / min for 1 minute. It is preferable that the average value of the tensile force when pulled in the direction exhibits a frictional resistance of about 1.4 N or more.

  In the case where the main body portion includes a grip portion at an upper portion thereof, the opening portion is formed obliquely toward the lower portion of the main body portion as it moves away from the main body portion side where the grip portion is provided. Good.

  Further, in the case where the main body portion has a gripping portion at the upper portion thereof, the opening is maintained in a shape that is wide on the gripping portion side and narrows away from the gripping portion side by a cylindrical shape-retaining material. Good.

Before SL body portion, said lining portions other than the inner surface slip portion is provided in the housing portion is not in close contact with the table cloth of the main body, so that over surface in contact with the shaft or grip and a wide range of golf clubs It may be.
The main body may be foldable.

The club case of the present invention can prevent the golf club from falling out of the storage portion during a round of golf by the anti-slip portion coming into contact with the shaft of the golf club.
The slip prevention part provided also in the bottom part in a storage part contacts the grip of a golf club, and can further improve the above-mentioned fall-off prevention effect.

  The club case of the present invention is made of a flexible material that is deformed by the weight of the golf club, and the non-slip portion comes into contact with the shaft of the golf club based on the deformation of the storage portion due to the weight of the golf club when being carried. By doing so, there is an advantage that the effect of preventing the golf club from falling off by the anti-slip portion can be enhanced.

On the other hand, when the golf club is taken out from the club case, the club case is almost upright by placing the lower end portion of the club case on the ground, so that the club case is not deformed by the weight of the golf club. Therefore, it can be avoided that the anti-slip portion comes into contact with the shaft of the golf club to cause a trouble in taking out the golf club.
That is, the operation of inserting the golf club into the club case of the present invention and taking out the golf club from the club case can be performed smoothly.

The club case of the present invention is provided with a cylindrical shape-retaining material in the opening, so that the opening can be maintained in a state where the opening is greatly opened, and the golf club can be easily put in and out.
Further, by forming the lower portion of the storage portion so as to be gradually narrowed, the grips of the golf club are brought into close contact with each other and the contact force between the grip and the non-slip portion is increased, thereby preventing the golf club from falling off. The effect can be enhanced.

By making the non-slip portion of the present invention made of polyvinyl chloride or polyurethane which is easily available, the effect of falling off the golf club can be easily obtained.
Further, by making the surface of the synthetic leather or artificial leather constituting the anti-slip portion in contact with the shaft of the golf club, the appearance inside the storage portion is improved, and the strength and durability of the inner surface of the storage portion are improved. be able to.
By selecting the surface material constituting the anti-slip portion from those having a friction resistance of a predetermined value or more, the effect of preventing the golf club from falling off can be obtained easily and reliably.

Further, the opening is formed obliquely toward the lower portion of the main body as the distance from the gripping portion is increased, whereby the opening surface of the upper end of the club case is inclined and the opening area is increased. The gripping part can be fixed close to the upper end position of the main body part, and the main body part can be directed upward from the horizontal as much as possible when carrying.
Further, it is possible to make the club case upright when taking out the golf club.

  In addition, the golf club can be inserted into the storage part from the opening part or from the storage part by making the opening part into a shape that the grip part side is wide by the cylindrical shape-retaining material and becomes narrower as the distance from the grip part side increases. It becomes easy to take out the golf club. Furthermore, when the club case is carried, the narrowed apex side of the opening is on the bottom, so that the golf club shafts gather and come into close contact with each other, so that the golf club stored in the storage is opened. It is possible to more effectively prevent falling out of.

  Since the anti-slip portion is formed along the inner surface of the main body portion on the side where the grip portion is provided, an effect of preventing the golf club from falling off can be efficiently obtained. Since the anti-slip portion is not formed in other portions, the golf club can be smoothly inserted into the storage portion.

The lining of the portion other than the inner surface provided with the anti-slip portion of the storage portion is not in close contact with the front fabric of the main body, and is in surface contact with the shaft or grip of the golf club over a wide range. In addition, the effect of falling off the golf club can be enhanced.
Moreover, it can be made convenient for transportation and storage by making the main body part foldable.

The club case of the present invention includes a main body portion having a golf club storage portion, and an opening formed in the upper portion of the main body portion, and a golf club shaft substantially at the center of the inner surface of the storage portion. By arranging a non-slip portion that comes into contact with the golf club, it was possible to prevent the golf club from falling out of the storage portion.
The club case of the present invention may be provided with a non-slip portion in the vicinity of the bottom of the inner surface of the storage portion so as to contact the shaft and grip of the golf club.

Further, the main body portion is made of a flexible material that can support the weight of the golf club stored in the storage portion, and that is deformed by the weight of the golf club, in the substantially central portion or the vicinity of the opening portion of the storage portion. Thus, the anti-slip portion may come into contact with the shaft of the golf club based on deformation of the storage portion due to the weight of the golf club.
Further, the main body portion may include a cylindrical shape retaining material in the opening portion, and the storage portion may be formed so that a lower portion is gradually narrowed.

  The anti-slip portion may be made of polyvinyl chloride or polyurethane, and the anti-slip portion stores the synthetic leather or artificial leather so that the surface of the synthetic leather or artificial leather is in contact with the shaft of the golf club. You may be comprised by arrange | positioning on the inner surface of a part.

  In particular, the surface material constituting the anti-slip part is a golf club suspended by folding a 21 cm wide surface material on which a golf club shaft is horizontally placed, and the grip side of the golf club is 1 at 50 mm / min. It is preferable that the average value of the tensile force when drawn in the horizontal direction for a minute exhibits a frictional resistance of about 1.4 N or more.

In the club case of the present invention, in the case where the main body portion includes a grip portion at an upper portion thereof, the opening portion is directed to the lower side of the main body portion as the distance from the main body portion side where the grip portion is provided. It is good to form diagonally.
Moreover, the said opening part is good to be maintained by the shape where the said holding part side is wide with the cylindrical shape-retaining material, and becomes narrow as it leaves | separates from the holding part side.
Further, the anti-slip portion may be formed along the inner surface of the main body portion on the side where the grip portion is provided.

  In the main body, the lining of the portion other than the inner surface provided with the anti-slip portion of the storage portion is not in close contact with the outer fabric of the main body, and is in surface contact with the shaft or grip of the golf club over a wide range. The main body may be foldable.

The club case 10 embodying the present invention will be described below.
As shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, the club case 10 includes a total of 3 to 5 golf clubs C such as putters, pitching wedges, sand wedges, other irons, and fairway woods. It is made of lightweight and flexible fabric that is suitable for carrying inside.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a main body formed in an elongated bag shape, and the outer surface thereof is a fabric 1a made of synthetic leather having a slightly thick flexible surface sheet made of polyurethane, and a thin and durable woven made of polyester. It is composed of a highly flexible front fabric 1b lined with a foam sheet as a cushioning material on a cloth.
Reference numeral 2 denotes a storage portion formed in the main body 1, which is formed by stitching the side and bottom sides of the front fabrics 1 a, 1 b and the lining 1 c of the main body 1, and has seven dimensions. The grip G and the shaft S of the golf club C to the extent can be accommodated.

Reference numeral 3 denotes an opening formed at the upper end of the main body 1, which is always open so that the grip G and the shaft S of the golf club C can be inserted into the storage 2.
And in order to stabilize the shape of the storage part 2 near the opening 3, a shape-retaining material 3 a in which a foamed polyethylene plate having a thickness of about 2 mm is formed in a substantially isosceles triangular cylindrical shape is located near the opening 3. It is attached.

  Reference numeral 4 denotes a gripping portion that is fixed to the upper portion of the main body 1 and also functions as a hook, and is fixed to the shape-retaining material 3a at a position corresponding to the front fabric 1a. The upper end portion of the grip portion 4 is curved in a bowl shape (inverted U shape) so as to extend from the main body portion 1, and then obliquely extends downward to be gradually separated from the main body portion 1. Has been.

  Therefore, the golfer can directly carry the club case 10 by hand by holding the grip portion 4, and the club case 10 is made to function as a hook so that the club case 10 is attached to the caddy bag 50 as shown in FIG. The club case 10 can be carried by the golf cart 60 by being held so as to be hung on the opening 51 (mouth frame).

  Since the upper end portion of the grip portion 4 is curved so as to extend from the main body portion 1, a hand (finger) is inserted between the upper portion of the grip portion 4 and the main body portion 1 and the upper end portion of the grip portion 4. The club case 10 can be easily held at the position.

  5 is an anti-slip part provided from the inner bottom part (one side surface of the lower end part) of the storage part 2 to the vicinity of the opening part 3, and is made of a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) cloth having a surface textured It is made of (synthetic leather), and the surface side of the fabric is the inner surface of the storage portion 2 and is in contact with the shaft S and the grip G of the golf club C.

  The anti-slip portion 5 is disposed along the back surface of the front fabric 1a of the main body portion 1 to which the grip portion 4 is fixed. As shown in FIGS. The fabric 1a is sewn at the edge, and the portions other than the edge are slightly lifted from the surface fabric 1a in order to increase the contact area with the shaft S of the golf club C. .

In order to select a surface material suitable for use as the non-slip portion 5, the anti-slip effect (friction resistance) acting between various surface materials and the shaft S of the golf club C was tested. The results were as shown in Table 1.
Test method: As shown in FIG. 9, as the test piece, the fabric (width 210 mm, length 220 mm) of the anti-slip portion 5 is folded in two and aligned, and both ends in the length direction are tightened with clamps CP 5 mm each. The center of the exposed portion of the shaft S of the golf club C is placed on the fabric of the anti-slip portion 5.

At this time, the head H side of the shaft S is in a downward state due to the weight of the head H. Therefore, the grip G is pulled diagonally downward by the wire W using the universal material testing machine (Autograph AG-5KNIS manufactured by Shimadzu Corporation) and the fixed pulley F so that the shaft S is in a horizontal state. Then, in order to measure the frictional resistance generated between the fabric having a width of 210 mm and the shaft S, the average value of the test force for 1 minute was recorded.
The distance from the upper surface of the test piece in contact with the lower side of the shaft S to the lower end of the clamp CP is 100 mm.
Further, the grip G and the wire W were fixed by using a light and strong tape and NASCAN that do not affect the test result.

The conditions of the test are as follows.

Test piece 3:
It is a fabric (synthetic leather) having a thickness of about 0.5 mm, is flexible and stretchable, and the lining is a woven fabric. The surface is finely textured with polyurethane (PU), giving it a moist touch. Also, when the dough is pressed against the fingertip, it becomes soft and well recessed.
Test piece 4 (material used in Example 1):
It is a fabric (synthetic leather) having a thickness of about 0.9 mm, and is flexible and weakly stretchable. The lining is a woven fabric. The surface is roughened with polyvinyl chloride (PVC), giving it a moist and tactile feel. Moreover, even if the fabric is pressed against the fingertip, there are few dents.

Test piece 5:
It is a fabric (synthetic leather) having a thickness of about 0.5 mm, is flexible and stretchable, and the lining is a woven fabric. The surface is treated with a glossy polyurethane (PU) and has a smooth and moist touch. Also, when the dough is pressed against the fingertip, it becomes soft and well recessed.
Test piece 6:
It is a fabric (synthetic leather) having a thickness of about 0.9 mm, which is flexible but hardly stretchable. The lining is a woven fabric. The surface is finely embossed with a polyurethane (PU) gloss and has a moist feel. Moreover, even if a fingertip is pressed against the cloth, the surface hardly gets depressed and the surface is slightly hard.

Test piece 7:
A fabric (synthetic leather) having a thickness of about 0.7 mm, which is flexible but hardly stretchable, and the lining is a woven fabric. Although the surface is finely textured without polyurethane (PU) gloss, it lacks the moist feel and has a dry feel. Further, even when the fabric is pressed against the fingertip, the surface is hard without being depressed.
Test piece 8:
It is a synthetic rubber sheet material having a thickness of about 1 mm, and is flexible and has a certain degree of elasticity. The surface has no gloss and is smooth and moist. Moreover, although the surface is a little hard, it will become depressed when the cloth is pressed against the fingertip.
Test piece 9:
It is a polyester woven fabric having a thickness of about 0.1 mm, and is flexible and has stretchability in the oblique direction of the woven yarn. The surface does not have a moist touch, and has a dry touch.

As a result, it has been found that PVC or PU can be used as the surface material of the anti-slip portion 5 (particularly PVC is not easily affected by the surface state, and good results were obtained), but the surface processing state It was also revealed that the anti-slip effect on the shaft S varies.
Therefore, when the product was actually commercialized and tested based on the above results, a material capable of exhibiting a numerical value of 1.4 N or more obtained by the above test method is preferably used as a non-slip portion in the practice of the present invention. did it.

  In addition, even if it is the material of the numerical value of about 1.0N obtained by said test method, although the slip prevention effect (fall-off prevention effect) which this invention intended which was not able to be demonstrated with the conventional club case was able to be exhibited, Depending on the embodiment (the arrangement of the anti-slip portion, the difference in shape and strength of the storage portion, etc.) or the use mode of the club case, the golf club C may not be prevented from falling off.

6 is a caulking metal fitting that closes the lower end portion of the front fabric 1a, and is for increasing the strength and durability of the main body 1 and the storage portion 2.
7 is a reinforcement part sewn to the edge part of the said surface cloth 1a, Comprising: It is provided along the longitudinal direction of the said anti-slip part 5, and as shown in FIG. It is formed by wrapping an elongated rod-like core material 7a made of PVC with a cloth similar to the surface cloth 1a of the main body 1 and then sewing.
The reinforcing portion 7 provides sufficient strength (waist) to support the weight when the golf club C is about to fall off on the front fabric 1a side of the main body 1 where the grip portion 4 is provided.

  However, since the main body 1 does not use a hard long member that cannot be folded, the main body 1 is folded in about three and stored in a caddy bag or another bag for transport. Is possible.

Reference numeral 8 denotes a shoulder belt for carrying the club case 10, and the upper and lower ends thereof are detachable from the annular metal fitting 8 a fixed to the main body 1 at the vertical position of the grip portion 4.
The mounting position of the upper annular fitting 8a is in the vicinity of the upper end of the opening 3. When carrying the main body 1 with the shoulder belt 7 on the shoulder, as shown in FIG. Not only can the part 3 face up, and the golf club C can be reliably prevented from falling off, but this is convenient when entering a score on the score card.

  The opening 3 is arranged so that the shape retaining material 3a is arranged so that the holding part 4 side is wide and becomes narrower as the distance from the holding part 4 side increases. The shape is maintained in an isosceles triangle shape. Furthermore, by forming the apex side of the opening 3 (opposite side of the gripping portion 4) at an obliquely lower position, the opening surface at the upper end of the club case 10 is inclined, the opening area is increased, and the gripping portion 4 is increased. Can be fixed close to the upper end position of the main body 1, and the club head H can be directed upward from the horizontal as much as possible during use.

With the above configuration, it is easy to insert the golf club C into the storage unit 2 from the opening 3 or to remove the golf club C from the storage unit 2. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 7, when the club case 10 is carried, the narrowed apex side of the opening 3 is down, so that the shaft S of the golf club C gathers there by gravity and centrifugal force. become.
Thus, the golf club C stored in the storage portion 2 can be more effectively prevented from falling out of the opening 3 by contacting the shafts S of the golf club C so as to be in close contact with each other.

Furthermore, as for the said main-body part 1, the side surface in which the said holding | grip part 4 is provided becomes narrow toward the lower part, and the storage part 2 in the main-body part 1 becomes narrower toward the lower part (lower constriction).
Further, the lining 1c made of a synthetic resin woven fabric of the main body 1 is not in close contact with the outer surface 1b of the main body 1, and the grip G and the shaft S of the golf club C in the storage portion 2 are connected to the lining 1c. Contact in a wide range.
Therefore, the effect of preventing the golf club C from falling out of the storage portion 2 due to the frictional force generated between the inner surface of the storage portion 2 and the golf club C is further exhibited.

The length of the main body 1 is about 885 mm at the portion corresponding to the grip portion 4 and about 840 mm at the portion corresponding to the apex of the opening 3. When the holding part 4 is held in a state where several golf clubs are accommodated therein, a balance can be obtained at an angle as shown in FIG.
Therefore, it is possible to effectively avoid rubbing the bottom of the main body 1 against the ground, and to prevent the golf club stored in the main body 1 from falling out of the opening 3.

  Further, since the center of gravity when the short golf club C such as a pitching wedge or a sand wedge is in a horizontal state is about 70 cm from the grip end, as shown in FIG. Even if the golf club C becomes horizontal in the storage unit 2, the head H side of the golf club C does not face downward, and the golf club C does not start to fall out of the storage unit 2.

  However, when the club case 10 further tilts during walking, the golf club C comes out of the opening 3 and the position of the center of gravity of the golf club C reaches the outside of the opening 3. As shown in FIG. 1, the grip G of the golf club C and the upper side of the shaft S are in contact with the anti-slip portion 5.

Here, the anti-slip portion 5 that comes into contact with the shaft S of the golf club C is a portion that is provided at substantially the center of the inner surface of the storage portion 2. The position of the contact portion depends on specific design matters such as the length or size of the storage portion 2, the flexibility of the storage portion 2 or the main body portion 1, and the size of the shape retaining material 3a. It has a certain width that varies depending on the type and number of golf clubs C being used.
In general, the lower end is a position about the length of the grip G (about 25 to 27 cm) from the inner bottom of the storage unit 2, and a position 30 to 40 cm above (from the opening 3 to 20 to 30 cm). The position having the upper end up to (position) corresponds to the “substantially central portion of the inner surface of the storage portion” suitable for providing the anti-slip portion 5 in the present invention.

  In addition, in a long golf club C such as a fairway wood, the center of gravity position in the horizontal state is always out of the storage portion 2, so the shaft S or grip G of the golf club C is not slippery portion 5. The effect | action which contact | abuts to becomes easy to produce.

As described above, in the state where the grip G of the golf club C and the upper side of the shaft S are in contact with the anti-slip portion 5, the upward force based on the principle of “lever” is applied in the storage portion 2 due to the weight of the head H of the golf club C. Since it acts on the grip G and the shaft S, it is possible to effectively prevent the golf club C from coming out of the club case 10 any more.
Other golf clubs C that are not in direct contact with the anti-slip portion 5 are also in a state in which the grip G and the like are clogged in the storage portion 2, and are prevented from coming out of the club case 10.

Further, when the main body 1 is tilted so that the opening 3 faces downward as described above, the shape-retaining material 3a is formed by the weight of the golf club C as shown in FIG. 10 (d) and FIG. The main body 1 is deformed so that the lower anti-slip portion 5 and the outer surface 1a are pulled downward to close the storage portion 2.
Therefore, the shaft S of the golf club C is tightened in the storage portion 2, and the golf club C is further effectively prevented from coming out of the club case 10.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 7, a step is formed at the boundary portion B between the lining 1c and the shape-retaining material 3a, and the golf club C is moved to the club case 10 by the grip G being caught on the boundary portion B. It is prevented from getting out of it.

As explained above, the club case 10 of this embodiment is
