<p>A protective cover for a golf club comprises two head cover members 102, 103 and a pair of shaft protecting bars 108, the head cover members being hingably connected so they can open and close by rotation about an axis which is substantially parallel to the longitudinal direction of the club shaft. A support member 111 is U-shaped and is hingably attached to the shaft protecting bars 108 in the embodiment shown. Knobs 113 extend downwardly and outwardly from the shaft protecting bars 108 and are biased way from the support member 111 by compression springs 114, thus keeping head cover members 102, 103 closed. A second pair of shaft protecting bars (128, fig. 6) may be formed separately from the first pair (108, fig.6). These bars (128, fig.6) may also be hingably connected to the support member 111 and may incorporate another pair of knobs 123 and biasing springs 124. Alternatively, a head cover member and a shaft protecting bar may be integrally formed (102, 103, 108, fig.8) and hinged to a similar part at the top of the head cover members (113, fig.8). A spring (134, fig.8) may be included to urge the two parts into a closed position.</p> |
