Abstract
A golf club head cover is made in accordance with a method having a minimal number of steps from a single sheet of fabric-like material which provides both an outer covering and a liner and inherently forms the head cover which closely fits the head of a wood type golf club and has an especially configured constricted bore in the head cover. The head cover is also provided with a detachably mounted golf identification tag which simplifies manufacturing and supply inventories.
Claims27
A method for making a golf club head cover including the steps of:
- (a) cutting a sheet of fabric-like material into a substantially rectangular shape having a liner portion on one side of a substantially bisecting transvese axis and an outer cover portion on the opposite side, said sheet having identical longitudinal edges each defining inwardly curved edge segments on opposite sides of the transverse axis and having substantially identical end edges each defining a flap portion protruding centrally from between an oppositely extending pair of end edge segments;
- (b) folding said sheet longitudinally to form a substantially tubular sheet with its longituding edges in contiguous alignment;
- (c) sewing the aligned longitudinal edges of said tubular sheet subsequent to step b;
- (d) folding said tubular sheet about its transverse axis by moving said liner portion into an overlaying coextending position on said cover portion to form an incomplete head cover having open ends one of which is defined by substantially aligned flap portions and substantially aligned end edge segments of the identical end edges and said sheet;
- (e) moving the aligned flap portions subsequent to step d into contiguous alignment with the aligned end edge segments of said incomplete head cover;
- and
- (f) sewing the moved flap portion to the end edge segments subsequent to step e to form an end closing seam at the one open end of said head cover.
