Abstract:
A container constructed of an outer liquid impermeable shell with an open mouth and a liquid permeable chamber rigidly dependent from the anterior of a lid to the outer shell provides a sealed closure of the outer shell with the permeable chamber entirely enclosed interior to the closed container. The permeable chamber is configured to receive a golf ball toward the top, proximate the anterior of the lid, and allow displacement of the golf ball in the interior of the chamber to the bottom of the same after sealing the container with the lid, immersing the golf ball in cleansing fluid held in the impermeable shell. Reciprocal displacement of the contained golf ball with reciprocation of the closed container in an appropriate amount of cleansing fluid wets and brings the exterior surface of the ball into contact with scrubbing surfaces disposed upon the interior of the permeable chamber thus cleaning the ball. The container may be constructed with an overall diameter only fractionally greater than the diameter of a standard golf ball and a length of about three diameters of a golf ball. The golf ball is quickly and efficiently cleaned, is quickly and easily placed into the container with unfastening of the lid and partial removal of the interior permeable chamber, and is quickly and easily retrieved from the container with unfastening of the lid, removal of the dependent chamber, and inversion of the same.
