Abstract
Apparatus and methods for propelling a multiple-wheeled golf bag cart over a terrain are described. In one embodiment, the apparatus is configured to be attached to a handle of the golf bag cart and further configured to be attached to the waist of a golfer. The apparatus includes a belt member for attachment to the waist of the golfer, a deformable member configured to be disposed between the cart handle and the belt member for controlling movement of the cart while the cart is being towed, and a mounting member for attachment to the handle for connecting the deformable member to the handle.

Apparatus for towing a multiple-wheeled golf bag cart over a terrain, said apparatus configured for attachment to a handle of the golf bag cart and further configured for attachment to the waist of a golfer, said apparatus comprising:
- a belt member configured for attachment to said waist of said golfer;
- deformable means configured to be disposed between said cart handle and said belt member for controlling movement of said cart while said cart is being towed;
- and
- mounting means configured to be attached to said handle for attaching said deformable means to said handle.
Apparatus for towing a multiple-wheeled golf bag cart over terrain, said apparatus configured to be attached to a handle of the cart and also configured to be attached to the waist of a golfer, said apparatus comprising:
- a belt member configured to be attached to said waist of said golfer;
- means configured to be disposed between said cart handle and said belt member for controlling movement of said cart while said cart is being towed;
- and
- means configured to be attached to said handle for mounting said controlling means to said handle.
A belt for towing a multiple-wheeled device over terrain, said belt configured to be attached to a handle of the device, said belt comprising:
- a belt member configured to be attached to the waist of a user, said belt member comprising an opening formed therein;
- and
- a belt engaging member comprising a base at a first end and a coupling device proximate a second end, said belt engaging member configured for insertion through said opening of said belt member.
A belt engaging device, said device configured for insertion through an opening formed in a belt and for attachment to a golf bag cart handle for the towing of a multiple-wheeled golf bag cart over terrain, said belt engaging device comprising:
- a first end defining a base, the base enlarged to engage the belt about a perimeter defined by the opening formed in the belt;
- and
- a second end further comprising a coupling device, for attachment to the golf bag cart handle, said belt engaging device comprising a deformable material for controlling movement of the cart while the cart is being towed and dampening forces transmitted between the cart and a user wearing the belt.
An interface between a belt to be worn by a user and a golf bag cart handle, said interface comprising:
- a belt engaging device, a first end of said belt engaging device configured to engage the belt, a second end of said belt engaging device configured to extend toward the golf bag cart handle, said belt engaging device comprising a material for dampening forces transmitted between the golf bag cart handle and a user wearing the belt;
- and
- a coupling device configured to extend from the second end of said belt engaging device to provide an attachment to the golf bag cart handle.
