Abstract
The golf club bag includes an elongated hollow bag body having an outer skin surrounding a central axis. A rigid base is provided for enclosing a lower end of the bag body. One or more rigid arm members are mounted to an upper portion of the bag body opposite from the lower end and securing structure is provided on a portion of the arm members spacedly offset from the bag body. The rigid arm members are attached to the bag body by means of a pivot joint for permitting the rigid arm members to pivot about a pivot axis, the pivot axis being transverse to the bag central axis. The bag has a rigid base which includes a chamfer formed thereon. The chamfer provides a stable support surface for maintaining the bag in a stationery position with the central axis offset from a vertical orientation.
Claims16
A golf club bag adapted for use with a golf cart vehicle, of the kind having a rigid mounting bar for receiving a golf club bag in a substantially vertical orientation on said golf cart vehicle, said golf club bag comprising:
- an elongated hollow bag body having an outer skin and defining a central, longitudinal axis;
- a rigid base enclosing a lower end of said bag body;
- at least one elongated, rigid arm member mounted to an upper portion of said bag body opposite from said lower end;
- and,
- securing means disposed on a portion of said at least one arm member spaced from said bag body and engageable with said rigid mounting bar on said golf cart vehicle, said bag body being retained in said golf cart vehicle with said central longitudinal axis tilted away from said substantially vertical orientation of said rigid mounting bar and said upper portion of said bag body spaced away from said rigid mounting bar on said golf cart vehicle and positioned closer to ground level.
A golf club bag accessory for mounting on a golf club bag having an elongated hollow bag body, a central longitudinal axis and a base enclosing a lower end of said bag body, said golf club bag accessory comprising:
- at least one elongated rigid arm member mounted to a pivot joint for permitting said at least one rigid arm member to pivot about a pivot axis, said pivot joint attached to a clamp;
- and,
- securing means on a portion of said arm member spacedly offset from said clamp;
- whereby said at least one rigid arm member may be attached to an upper portion of said bag body with said pivot axis transverse to said central axis so that said bag body may be fixedly retained in a golf cart vehicle, of the kind adapted for receiving a golf club bag in a substantially vertical orientation, in a mounted position different than said adapted for substantially vertical orientation, with said upper portion offset from said substantially vertical orientation and said golf club bag being angled away from the interior of said golf cart vehicle, said upper portion being positioned closer to ground level.
A golf club bag accessory for mounting on a golf club bag having an elongated hollow bag body, a central longitudinal axis and a base enclosing a lower end of said bag body, said golf club bag accessory comprising:
- at least one elongated rigid arm member attached to clamping means for securely mounting said golf bag accessory to said bag body;
- and,
- securing means on a portion of said at least one arm members spacedly offset from said clamping means, said securing means being adapted for engaging a rigid mounting bar on a golf cart vehicle, of the kind adapted for receiving a golf club bag in a substantially vertical orientation;
- whereby said at least one rigid arm member is attachable to an upper portion of said bag body so that said bag body may be fixedly retained in said golf cart vehicle with said upper portion of said bag body spaced apart from said rigid mounting bar, said bag body being angled away from said adapted for substantially vertical orientation provided by said rigid mounting bar and said upper portion being positioned closer to ground level.
A golf club bag accessory for mounting on a golf club bag having an elongated hollow bag body, a central longitudinal axis and a base enclosing a lower end of said bag body, said golf club bag accessory comprising:
- an auxiliary base adapted for attachment to said golf club bag at said lower end;
- a rigid L shaped member having first and second portions;
- said first portion providing means for attaching said auxiliary base to said golf club bag;
- and,
- said second portion formed approximately perpendicular to said central longitudinal axis, defining a support surface for maintaining said bag body in a tilted away position with said central longitudinal axis angled away the interior of a golf cart vehicle otherwise adapted to hold said bag body in a substantially vertical orientation, an upper portion of said bag body being spaced away said interior and closer to ground level than otherwise provided by said adapted for substantially vertical orientation.
