<p>A golf bag 1 includes metal tubes 11 that are located at the bottom of the bag 1 to accommodate the handle-grips 16 of clubs 4 entered head-up in the bag 1. The tubes 11 are heated to dry the grips 16, by a printed-circuit or wire-wound element 13 that is bonded to the underside of a plate 12. The element 13 is powered from a rechargeable battery housed in a cavity 19 below the element 13, or from an external-supply connection point 9, in a circuit regulated by a thermostat 23; instead of using a single heating element 13, the tubes 11 may have individual elements 24 (Figure 4). The spaces between the tubes 11 are filled with plastics material 14 and flap-seals 18 close off the tubes 11 to reduce loss of heat. instead of tubes 11, a metal block 27 may be used, the handle-rips 16 being received in cavities 28 of the block 27 to which a heating element 25 is bonded (Figure 5). <IMAGE></p> |
