Abstract
The invention relates to a bag for protecting sports equipment, particularly golf clubs, from damage due to temperature variations. The bag can be comprised of several individual panels, each comprising an insulated material, which create an inner volume into which a golf bag can be inserted. When the top panel is sealed, the insulated material can protect the contents of the bag from damage due to temperature variations.

A thermally insulated sports bag for protecting sports equipment from damage caused by temperature variations, said bag comprising:
- a bottom panel interposed between a first side panel and a second side panel along a first axis, and a front panel and a back panel along a second axis, said first and second axes being perpendicular to each other,
- wherein each of said front, back, first and second side panels are permanently affixed to the bottom panel along a periphery, and are configured to extend upward to define an inner volume of the sports bag;
- a top panel interposed between the first side panel and the second side panel along the first axis, and the front panel and the back panel along the a second axis, said top panel being permanently affixed to the first side panel opposite to the bottom panel;
- and
- a securing unit configured to secure the top panel to at least one of the second side panel, the front panel and the back panel to enclose the inner volume of the sports bag,
- wherein each of said front, back, bottom, top, first and second side panels are insulated.
A method of manufacturing a thermally insulated sports bag for protecting sports equipment from damage caused by temperature variations, said method comprising:
- selecting one or more flexible materials having good insulation properties;
- binding a plurality of said one or more materials together to form a single element;
- cutting a pattern from said single element to form a bottom panel, a first side panel, a second side panel, a front panel, a back panel and a top panel;
- selecting a securing unit and attaching said unit to the top panel and each of said second side panel, front panel, and back panel;
- affixing the first side panel and the second side panel to the bottom panel along a first axis;
- affixing the front panel and the back panel to the bottom panel along a second axis, said first and second axes being perpendicular to each other;
- affixing the top panel to the first side panel opposite to the bottom panel;
- and
- securing the top panel to each of the second side panel, the front panel and the back panel via the securing unit.
