Claims4
A device for protectively storing and transporting golf equipment, comprising:
- a) an elongated rigid housing having a closed flat bottom end and a forwardly angled opened top end;
- b) a lid hinged to the higher rearward edge of said opened top end of said housing to cover and protect the heads of golf clubs which are invertably inserted within said housing and other golf equipment;
- c) an upper angled cushioning insert having a plurality of apertures therethrough, said upper angled cushioning insert carried within said forwardly angled opened top end of said housing so that the heads of the golf clubs can rest naturally in place in some of the apertures, free from contact with each other while shafts and handles of the golf clubs are suspended above said bottom end of said housing whereby some other apertures can hold other golf equipment therein;
- d) a plurality of separators, each having a back partition and a plurality of tapered side partitions extending outwardly from the back partition, said separators are spaced apart and angularly positioned vertically within said housing so that the top edges of the back partitions of said separators are tilted backwards with respect to the bottom edges of said back partitions of said separators while said tapered side partitions divide the interior of said housing into a plurality of vertically angled channels which line up with said apertures in said upper angled cushioning insert whereby the shafts and handles of the golf clubs are protected within the channels from making contact with each other;
- e) a pair of wheels, each recessed and mounted directly on an opposite rear corner of said bottom end of said housing for mobility of said housing;
- and
- f) a small non piercing foot affixed to said bottom end of said housing opposite from said wheels to provided stability to said housing when said housing stands upright unattended without having to pierce the ground so that rot and mildew is eliminated.
