Claims5
A golf bag comprising
- a frame that includes
- a rigid stem,
- a gripping means at a top area of the stem,
- a rigid base plate connected to a bottom area of the stem, and
- two annular-shaped elements connected to the stem between the top area and the bottom area of the stem and whose diameters are substantially identical to a compartment designed to contain golf clubs, wherein at least one of the two annular-shaped elements is rigid and is located closer to the top area than the other annular-shaped element,
- an outer envelope connected to the two annular-shaped elements and that forms the compartment, and
- a propulsion system that forms an integral part of the golf bag and that is connected to the stem,
- wherein said golf bag can be carried by a user on his or her shoulders during a round of golf,
- wherein the propulsion system has a folding configuration with at least two positions;
- i) a deployed unfolded position for when the bag is to be driven by the propulsion system, and
- ii) a retracted folded position folded position for when the bag is to be carried by the user or stored,
- wherein the golf bag further comprises two wheels, termed active wheels, which are set in rotation by the propulsion system, and a third wheel, termed a passive wheel, which is not connected to the propulsion system and which is set in rotation when the bag is moved by the propulsion system, and
- wherein the propulsion system comprises motors that separately drive the active wheels.
