Abstract
A protective device for a golf bag includes a panel member folded over to form a U-shape such that a first and second protective member extend from sides of a common midsection. At least one retention element is located on an inner facing surface of at least one of the first and second protective members to attach at least one of the first and second protective members to a first divider wall so as to prevent movement of the protective device relative to the golf bag. A notch on the first protective member is dimensioned to allow for an intersection of a second divider wall with the first divider wall. A cutout on the panel member enables the panel member to bend to conform to the first divider wall and any given curvature of the first divider wall.
Claims19
A protective device for a golf bag comprising:
- a panel member folded over to form a U-shape such that a first and second protective member extend from sides of a common midsection;
- at least one retention element on an inner facing surface of at least one of the first and second protective members, the at least one retention element to attach at least one of the first and second protective members to a first divider wall so as to prevent movement of the protective device relative to the golf bag, the inner facing surfaces of the first and second protective members otherwise being generally flat;
- a notch on the first protective member, the notch dimensioned to allow for an intersection of a second divider wall with the first divider wall;
- and
- a cutout centrally located on the common midsection, the cutout extending from the notch on the first protective member and across the midsection to at least a portion of the second protective member,
- wherein the panel member includes flexible and resilient properties for the panel member to conform to, cover, and be retained on the first divider wall, the notch and cutout further enabling the panel member to bend to conform to the first divider wall and any given curvature of the first divider wall,
- wherein at least one of the first and second protective members includes a layer of hook and loop material on at least a portion of an outer facing surface.
