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 a 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;
- a 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, said deformable means deformable in connection with a first force applied to said deformable means by said cart in the forward or backward directions of travel of said cart, said deformable means also laterally deformable in connection with a second force applied to said deformable means by said cart in a direction other than said forward or backward directions whereby said deformable means dampen said first and second forces applied by said cart;
- and
- mounting means configured to be attached to said handle for attaching said deformable means to said handle.
Apparatus for towing a multiple-wheeled 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 user, said apparatus comprising:
- a belt member configured to be attached to the waist of the user;
- an elastomeric member configured to be disposed between the cart handle and said belt member for controlling movement of the cart while the cart is being towed;
- a retaining member for maintaining said elastomeric member in position with respect to said belt member;
- and
- a coupling device for removably coupling said elastomeric member to the cart handle.
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 an elastomeric material for dampening, along multiple axes, 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.
Apparatus comprising a deformable member, said deformable member configured to be removably disposed between a golf bag cart handle and a waist of a user, said deformable member operable to dampen forces exerted between the golf bag cart handle and the waist of the user in three axes during motion of one or both of a golf bag cart associated with the golf bag cart handle and the waist of the user.
Apparatus for towing a multiple-wheeled device over a terrain, said apparatus configured for attachment to a handle of the device and further configured for attachment to the waist of a user, said apparatus comprising:
- a belt member configured for attachment to the waist of the user;
- deformable means configured to be disposed between the handle of the device and said belt member for controlling movement of the device while the device is being pushed or pulled, said deformable means deformable in multiple axes, to control movement of the handle, and therefore the device, in the multiple axes;
- and
- mounting means configured to be attached to the handle for attaching said deformable means to the handle.
