BRIEF SUMMARY
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to golf equipment, and more particularly, to an improved golf trolley or cart.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Golf trolleys are widely used by golfers to assist in carrying their golfing equipment, while on a golf course. During play in winter and more severe weather, golf trolley wheels gather mud and wet grass. This does not affect play, but presents golfers with a problem after completion of their sporting activity. It is not always possible to clean trolley wheels after use. Weather conditions may make this impractical or cleaning facilities may not be available. Often golfers have to put trolleys, with dirty wheels, into vehicle interiors or lockers. This dirt can mark, dampen or damage such areas and upholstery. There is, therefore, a need for a means to prevent golf trolley wheels from soiling their environment.
It is thus an object of the invention to provide a means for preventing soiled golf trolley wheels from coming into contact with upholstery, etc.
It is a further object of the invention to provide a means for cleaning the soiled golf trolley wheels while preventing the soil from contacting clean environments.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The foregoing and other objects of the invention are achieved by this invention which provides a wheel cleaning cover e.g., a golf trolley wheel cover, which has a body consisting of two parts/halves. When in use, a hinge and straps hold both halves of the body closed. When closed around a golf trolley wheel the wheel cover will: environment; and etc. and contains such debris within, until removed after unfastening.
Reference throughout this document, will be to one wheel cover, given that its partner is identical.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING
A special embodiment of the invention will now be described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawing in which:
FIG. 1 is a front elevation of a closed wheel cover in accordance with the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a rear elevation of the wheel cover of the present invention in a closed condition;
FIG. 3 is a side elevation of the hinge side of the closed wheel cover, corresponding to the view identified by arrow B, in FIG. 1;
FIG. 4 is a side elevation of the closed wheel cover opposite to the hinge side, corresponding to the view identified by arrow C, in FIG. 2;
FIG. 5 is a top plan view of the wheel cover of the present invention, corresponding to the view identified by arrow A, in FIG. 1;
FIG. 6 is a side view of the wheel cover of the present invention in a partially open condition, corresponding to the view identified by arrow D, in FIG. 7;
FIG. 7 is a rear elevation of the wheel cover in a partially open condition;
FIG. 8 illustrates a front view of internal components for cleaning; and
FIG. 9 is an isometrical front view representation of the wheel cover of the present invention in a partially open condition.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
According to the present invention there is provided a wheel cover comprising two hinged, hollow, semi-circular casings, in the form of a circular cover when closed. This wheel cover, when closed around a wheel will prevent dirt from the wheel from soiling its immediate environment. This wheel cover, with permanently fixed internal components, when closed around a wheel and turned in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction, will act in a brushing and cleaning manner. A typical golf trolley has two wheels, therefore, a pair of these wheel covers would present a complete solution. Each of the pair of wheel covers would be identical.
Referring to the drawings, the wheel cleaning cover, as shown in FIGS. 1-9, is a hollow, openable casing formed from ridged moulded material.
Before opening the casing, straps 3 and 4, as shown in FIG. 3, have to be unclipped to allow opening to take place. Straps 3 and 4 are permanently fixed by an individual stud 9 and fastener 6 clips to stud 7 as shown in FIG. 7. This applies to both sides of the wheel cover.
