Support base for a golf bag

Abstract

A support base is mounted to a golf bag of the type having a substantially U-shaped resilient defined by a mediate section and two limbs. The support base has two parallel side passages in a top side thereof. The support base further has a cutout in a lateral side thereof. The cutout and the side passages being communicated with each other and arranged to define a tongue with the side passages located on both sides of the tongue. Each side passage includes an open outer end and a closed inner end. An end wall defining the inner end of each side passage includes an inclined groove. The cutout includes an outer open end and an inner end that is aligned with the closed inner ends of the side passages. The outer end of the cutout allows insertion of the mediate section of the resilient member into the closed inner end of the cutout until each of the limbs of the resilient member reaches the closed inner end of an associated one of the side passages, thereby allowing the limbs to be pivoted into the inclined grooves for supporting the golf bag in a tilt position.
