Combined golf bag and cart mechanism

A combined golf bag and cart mechanism comprising:

• a golf bag having an elongated peripheral cavity defining an axis, rigid anchors at each end of said bag for supporting a rigid elongated pole in said cavity parallel to said axis and a slidable anchor slidably mounted on said pole;
• a golf cart permanently secured to said bag and movable between a retracted position in which said cart wholly nests in said cavity, and an extended position in which said cart supports said bag for transport on said wheels, said golf cart further including a pair of wheels and orienting means for pivotally coupling each of said wheels to said bag and for maintaining each of said wheels in parallel planes relative to said axis;
• said orienting means for each wheel further comprising a first lever having one end pivotally mounted on a first pivot pin on said slidable anchor, and a second lever pivotally connected to the opposite end of said first lever, said second lever having one end coupled to said wheel and the opposite end pivotally coupled to said slidable anchor on a second pivot pin on said slidable anchor axially spaced from said first pin whereby said first and second levers can be pivotally moved between said retracted and extended positions in a single movement;
• and
• rigid support rods interconnecting said first levers to one of said rigid anchors for supporting said first levers and said wheels in said extended position of said cart.
