[0002] This Utility Patent is a continuation of Design Patent 29,142,185, filing date May 21, 2001, Inventor: Daniel D. Hale
[0003] 1. Field of the Invention
[0004] The present invention relates generally to, but not exclusively to the sport of golf. This invention may also relate to other sport or activity where wiping, cleaning, or polishing of equipment, hands, face, and etc., are performed.
[0005] 2. Description of Prior Art
[0006] While playing golf or other activity, there are numerous occasions whereby it is desired to remove dirt and debris from a golf club or equipment, or perspiration and other material from hands, face, and other body parts. Generally such an implement has been in the form of a rag or towel that has no easy separable or discrete surfaces to wipe hands, face, and other body parts, from surfaces that wipe golf clubs and other equipment. There are golf towels that form into a sleeve or bag, but in general are not made for easy insertion of a golf club or other cleanable instruments.
[0007] The present invention is a multi-purpose wiping, cleaning, or polishing device comprised of two adjoined panels, and made of a fabric such as terry cloth. Both panel surfaces are of a material that is soft, absorbent, and very pliable, and may be of any color or colors.
[0008] The device may be made from one or multiple panels. Both panels are of equal size, except one panel has an elongated end, allowing it to extend outside of the joined area of the other panel, creating an appendage or flap. This elongation shall be of sufficient length and width to be easily pushed aside by a golf club or other instrument for easy insertion into the panel halves when the elongation is in a downward position. The elongation may likewise be held in an upward position, and held by the elongation, making it easy to separate the panels. The panels are permanently, or seperably joined together, with three edges equal, and one having an elongation.
[0009] The present invention will be fully understood from the following description of the preferred embodiment thereof when read in conjunction with the appended drawing wherein:
