Abstract
Embodiments of bag having a self-adjustable carrying strap system and methods to manufacture such a bag are generally described herein. Other embodiments that may be described and claimed include a golf bag having a self-adjustable carrying strap system.
Claims33
A connector plate comprising:
- a connector plate body defining a first surface and a second surface;
- a first bridge portion extending from the first surface, the first bridge defining a first channel;
- and
- a second bridge portion extending from the second surface, the second bridge portion defining a second channel,
- wherein the first and second channels define a first pathway configured to receive a first carrying strap of a bag and a transverse space forming a second pathway configured to receive a second carrying strap of the bag such that the first pathway is in transverse orientation relative to the second pathway.
2 more elements
A connector plate comprising:
- a connector plate body comprising:
- a middle portion;
- a first raised portion extending from the middle portion, the first raised portion defining a first slot;
- and
- a second raised portion extending from the middle portion, the second raised portion defining a second slot;
- and
- wherein the first slot and the second slot define a first pathway configured to receive a first carrying strap of a bag and the first raised portion and the second raised portion define a transverse space forming a second pathway configured to receive a second carrying strap of the bag such that the first pathway crosses over the second pathway.
4 more elements
A self-adjustable carrying strap system for a bag comprising:
- a first carrying strap;
- a second carrying strap;
- and
- a connector plate comprising a connector plate body having a rear surface and a front surface, the front surface defining a first bridge portion and a second bridge portion which are adjacent or proximate to a first plane, wherein the first bridge portion and the second bridge portion are configured to receive the first carrying strap, and a transverse space defined between the first bridge portion and the second bridge portion which is adjacent or proximate to the first plane, wherein the transverse space is configured to receive the second carrying strap such that the first carrying strap overlaps the second carrying strap.
1 more element
A bag comprising:
- an elongated body having a first upper portion defining an opening in communication with a chamber configured to receive one or more golf clubs therein;
- a first carrying strap and a second carrying strap having respective first end portions connected to a first portion of the elongated body and respective second end portions connected to a second portion of the elongated body such that the first carrying strap overlaps the second carrying strap;
- and
- a connector plate having a body including a first bridge portion and a second bridge portion that define a first pathway configured to receive the first carrying strap and a transverse space defined between the first and second bridge portions that form a second pathway configured to receive the second carrying strap such that the first pathway is in transverse orientation relative to the second pathway.
1 more element
A method of manufacturing a golf bag having an adjustable carrying strap system comprising:
- forming a tubular elongated body having an upper portion and a lower portion;
- forming a first carrying strap defining an elongated strap body having a first proximal portion and a first distal portion;
- forming a second carrying strap defining a second elongated body having a second proximal portion and a second distal portion;
- and
- forming a connector plate having a body including a first bridge portion defining a first channel and a second bridge portion defining a second channel that collectively define a first pathway configured to receive the first carrying strap and a transverse space defined between the first and second bridge portions that forms a second pathway configured to receive the second carrying strap such that the first pathway is in transverse orientation relative to the second pathway, wherein the first and second carrying straps overlap each other in a transverse orientation.
