Abstract
A rollable golf bag having an elongated golf bag container with a collapsible rolling assembly coupled to the container. The collapsible rolling assembly is movable between an extended position to permit rolling of the container, and a folded position to facilitate carrying of the container. Wheels connected on the rolling assembly are detachable and can be stored within a storage compartment of the container.
Claims7
A rollable golf bag comprising:
- a golf bag container;
- collapsible rolling assembly means coupled to said container for permitting both stationary positioning as well as rolling of the container;
- said rolling assembly means including a plate member hingedly coupled to a peripheral wall of said container, said plate member being rotatable between a folded position adjacent the peripheral wall and an extended position angularly oriented in a downward direction from the peripheral wall;
- two support arms peripherally coupled to said plate member and respectively swingable between a vertically aligned retracted position and a laterally outwardly directed extended position;
- a respective wheel detachably coupled to a remote end of each support arm;
- two locking brackets pivotally connected to said plate member intermediate said support arms and respectively swingable between a vertically aligned folded position and an angularly oriented downwardly directed extended position;
- a notch respectively located on each support arm;
- and
- a pawl at an end of each bracket for engaging a respective notch to thereby retain said support arms in their respective extended positions.
