The pocket is equipped with a zipper operable to close and open the pocket. The zipper securely keeps things in the pocket. However, it is inconvenient for a golfer to hold a ball or tee and operate the zipper to close the pocket with one hand while holding a club in the other hand. It is also inconvenient for a golfer to hold a ball or tee, operate the zipper and put the ball or tee into the pocket with one hand while holding a club in another hand.
  • The present invention is therefore intended to obviate or at least alleviate the problems encountered in prior art.
    • SUMMARY OF INVENTION
  • According to the present invention, a golf bag apparatus includes a bag for carrying clubs, a pocket for carrying things and a cover assembly for covering the pocket. The cover assembly includes a large cover and a plurality of small covers. The large cover includes at least one fixed edge connected to the pocket and a free edge. Each of the small covers includes two fixed edges connected to the pocket and two free edges so that a slit is defined between any adjacent two of the small covers and that a slit is defined between the large cover and a nearest one of the small covers.
  • An advantage of the golf bag apparatus according to the present invention is its durability for not including a vulnerable zipper.
  • Another advantage of the golf bag apparatus according to the present invention is its convenience for not including a zipper.
  • Other advantages and features of the present invention will become apparent from the following description referring to the drawings.
    • BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
  • The present invention will be described through detailed illustration of two embodiments referring to the drawings.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a golf bag apparatus according to the first embodiment of the present invention.
  • FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the golf bag apparatus in another position other than shown in FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the golf bag apparatus in another position other than shown in FIG. 2.
  • FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the golf bag apparatus in another position other than shown in FIG. 3.
  • FIG. 5 is a perspective view of a hand in a pocket through a cover of the golf bag apparatus shown in FIG. 3.
  • FIG. 6 is a perspective view of the hand in the pocket through the cover for balls shown in FIG. 5.
  • FIG. 7 is a perspective view of a golf bag apparatus according to the second embodiment of the present invention.
  • FIG. 8 is a perspective view of a conventional golf bag apparatus.
    •  DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS
  • Referring to FIGS. 1 through 6, there is shown a golf bag apparatus according to a first embodiment of the present invention. The golf bag apparatus includes a bag 14 for carrying clubs, a pocket 16 for carrying things such as balls and tees and a cover assembly 1 for securely covering the pocket 16 while allowing convenient opening of the pocket 16. The pocket 16 is attached to the bag 14 by sewing for example. A zipper 30 is provided between the pocket 16 and the cover assembly 1.
  • The cover assembly 1 includes a frame 24, a large cover 10 and a plurality of small covers 20. The zipper 30 is provided between the frame 24 and the pocket 16.
  • The large cover 10 includes a plurality of edges 11 connected to the pocket 16 by sewing for example, two edges connected to the frame 24 and a free edge 12. There is a slit 23 between the free edge 12 of the large cover 10 and a nearest one of the small covers 20.
  • The large cover 10 is made of an elastic material so that a golfer can expand it and that it can automatically recover after the golfer releases it.
  • The small covers 20 are arranged side by side. That is, the small covers 20 do not overlap. There is a slit 23 between any adjacent two of the small covers 20. The small covers 20 are slender. That is, each of the small covers 20 includes two long edges 21 and two short edges 22. The long edges 21 of each of the small covers 20 are parallel. The long edges 21 are free, i.e., they are not connected to anything. The short edges 22 are connected to the frame 24 by sewing for example.
  • Similarly, the small covers 20 are made of an elastic material so that the golfer can expand them and that it can automatically recover after the golfer releases them.
  • Referring to FIG. 2, the large cover 10 is expanded by the golfer so that a related one of the slits 23 is enlarged. Things can be put into or taken from the pocket 16 through the slit 23.
  • Referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, any of the small covers 20 can be expanded by the golfer so that a related one of the slits 23 is enlarged. Things can be put into or taken from the pocket 16 through the enlarged one of the slits 23.
  • Referring to FIGS. 5 and 6, the golfer reaches a hand for balls through one of the slits 23.
  • Referring to FIG. 7, there is shown a golf bag apparatus according to a second embodiment of the present invention. The second embodiment is like the first embodiment except that the small covers 20 overlap. An upper one of the long edges of each of the small covers 20 overlaps a lower one of the long edges of an adjacent one of the small covers 20.
  • However, in another embodiment, a lower one of the long edges of each of the small covers 20 overlaps an upper one of the long edges of an adjacent one of the small covers 20.
  • The golf bag apparatus according to the present invention exhibits several advantages. Firstly, it is durable for not including a vulnerable zipper. Secondly, it is convenient for not including a zipper.
  • The present invention has been described via the detailed illustration of the embodiments. Those skilled in the art can derive variations from the embodiments without departing from the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments shall not limit the scope of the present invention defined in the claims.
