ABSTRACT:
A golf club cleaning apparatus is disclosed that is capable of cleaning both right-handed and left-handed irons and woods and is also capable of cleaning the faces and the bottom of irons as well as the front driving face and sole plate of woods. A first opening into the apparatus is provided for right-handed clubs, and a second opening is provided for left-handed clubs, with each opening being designed to accept either a wood or an iron for cleaning of the same. The overall appearance of the apparatus resembles a golf ball sitting on a tee, with the upper portion being at least partially filled with a cleaning or washing liquid. A golf club is held in place after insertion through one of the openings into the device, with the bottom and back in contact with a receiving tray. Cleaning of the club head is effected by rotating a semispherical brush connected with an externally extending crank, with the brush being at least partially immersed in the cleaning liquid and maintained to contact with the front face of the club by a spring bias on the receiving tray urging the club front face in a horizontal direction toward the brush. The inlet openings into the apparatus are angularly spaced from the top of the apparatus so that a club inserted therethrough will have predetermined positioning with respect to the brushes within the apparatus to enhance club cleaning. In addition, a separate compartment is divided to accommodate foreign matter dislodged from club heads during cleaning, and this minimizes club damage during subsequent club cleaning operations.
