Abstract
A golf club protector tube retainer for golf bags, comprises a flat plate having a plurality of apertures for receiving the individual protection tubes. Tube clamping and securing means having a resilient individually compressible deformable friction member is provided at each aperture for gripping the walls of each inserted tube. The tube retainer plate is held in the open end of the bag by a bag strap which partially encircles the bag and is passed through loops in the golf bag to engage a pair of hangers mounted on opposite ends of the plate adjacent said loops.
Claims8
A golf club protection tube holder for golf bags, comprising in combination;
- a flat plate having a plurality of apertures located therein for receiving the protection tubes, the longitudinal axis of said plate apertures located substantially perpendicular to a face of said plate and each aperture being defined by a substantially vertical wall;
- means to retain said plate loosely within the interior of the golf bag;
- a plurality of clamping means attached to said face of said plate, each including a spacer having a wall defining a cylindrical cavity axially aligned concentrically with said plate apertures, an annular resilient member positioned in said cavity substantially larger in thickness than the depth of said cavity, extending outwardly from the cavity, and having an aperture aligned axially with a corresponding plate aperture, a compression element having a cylindrical opening axially aligned with a plate aperture and said spacer cavity, and fastening members interconnecting said plate, said spacer and compression element, operable to draw the compression element and plate together to deform and expand the resilient member inwardly radially beyond the corresponding plate aperture wall a substantial distance to develop substantial friction between the walls of a corresponding tube and a corresponding resilient member.
