Abstract
The present invention provides a cover for the head of a golf club, especially a putter. The cover comprises a hollow body having an open end, the body being arranged to define a slot which opens onto the open end of the body. The slot is shaped and arranged to receive a portion of the club when the club head is located in the body and to prevent withdrawal of the club head from the body in an axial direction. In the preferred embodiment, the slot is substantially L-shaped so that the cover must first be rotated before it can be removed. The cover offers good protection to a club head while being simple to fit and remove.

A cover for the head of a golf club, said cover comprising a hollow body having an open end through which the club head may be inserted, during use, into said body in a generally axial direction, said body being arranged to define a slot comprising an axial portion extending substantially in said axial direction and opening onto said open end of said body, and a transverse portion extending substantially perpendicularly from said axial portion, the arrangement being such that, upon insertion of the club head into said body through said open end, a portion of the club is received by said axial portion and that, upon relative rotation of said body and the club head about said axial direction, the portion of the club is received by said transverse slot portion thereby preventing withdrawal of the club head from said body in said axial direction.
A golf club head cover comprising:
- a hollow body having an open end through which a golf club head may be inserted into said body in a generally axial direction;
- and
- said body including a slot, said slot comprising an axial portion and a transverse portion, said axial portion extending along said body substantially in said axial direction from said open end of said body, said transverse portion extending substantially perpendicularly from said axial portion wherein that, upon insertion of the golf club head into said body through said open end, a portion of the golf club head is received by said axial portion and that, upon relative rotation of said body and the golf club head about said axial direction, the portion of the golf club head is received by said transverse portion thereby preventing withdrawal of the golf club head from said body in said axial direction, and said body being adapted to grip the golf club head at least when the portion of the golf club head is received in said transverse portion.
