Abstract

A bowling ball carrier, carrying two or three bags loaded with a plurality of bowling balls and allowing a user to easily receive or remove bowling balls into or from the bags, is disclosed. The bowling ball carrier has two parallel telescopic columns and a wheeled bag integrated with the lower ends of the telescopic columns. An upper bag holder frame, used for removably holding one or two bags in addition to the wheeled bag on the carrier, is attached to the carrier. The holder frame selectively engages with a locking beam of the two telescopic columns at its upper part. The wheeled bag may lie on its side. In such a case, the bag has a front opening capable of allowing a user to receive or remove bowling balls into or from the bag at the front of the bag. Alternatively, the wheeled bag may stand on its bottom. In such a case, the bag has a top opening capable of allowing a user to receive or remove bowling balls into or from the bag at the top of the bag. The opening of the wheeled bag is covered with a woven fabric lid or a synthetic resin lid.

Dependent claims

A bowling ball carrier comprising:

two parallel and telescopic columns each with a top and bottom end;
a main handle coupled to the top ends of both said telescopic columns;
a wheeled bag including a front, back, top, bottom and two side walls wherein said bottom ends of said telescopic columns are connected with said back wall of said wheeled bag and said front wall of said wheeled bag has a front opening capable of allowing a user to receive or remove bowling balls into or from the wheeled bag at the front of said bag, said wheeled bag comprising:
two ball seats provided on an inside wall of said back wall of said bag in a way such that the two ball seats are arranged on left and right sides of said inside back wall;
a partition block having two linearly concaved surfaces at left and right sides thereof and integrally set in a central portion of the interior of said wheeled bag, thus partitioning the interior of said bag into two cavities respectively having said ball seats, said partition block being covered with a blocking cover at a front surface, and said blocking cover being chamfered along an outside edge of its front surface;
two bosses formed on each of top and bottom front edges of said wheeled bag at two spaced positions, each of said two bosses having a screw receiving hole;
a hinged handle exteriorly attached to each sidewall of the wheeled bag, each said hinged handle having a belt slit for permitting a fastening belt to pass through;
a bottom support frame attached to said bottom wall of said wheeled bag;
a locking beam extending horizontally between middle portions of said two telescopic columns;
a reinforcing column extending inside each of the telescopic columns while being parallel to said telescopic columns, with a top end of said reinforcing column being fixed to the main handle and a lower end of said reinforcing column extending perpendicularly through said locking beam;
a lower support beam horizontally extending between the two telescopic columns at a position under the locking beam;
and
an upper bag holder frame assembly having first and second support members used for removably holding first and second upper bags, respectively, in addition to the wheeled bag on the carrier, said upper bag holder frame having said first support member secured to the two fixed column holders of the wheeled bag and said second support member selectively attachable in locking engagement with said locking beam of said two telescopic columns.
