Claims5

Dependent claims

A folding collapsible golf cart comprising:

a) a hollow upper main shaft;
b) a handle having a grip located on a first end thereof and a second end slidably inserted into a first end of the hollow upper main shaft and selectively locked in a predetermined position by a lock located on the first end of the hollow upper main shaft;
c) an upper bag cradle connected to the hollow upper main shaft;
d) a lower main shaft;
e) a coupling frame pivotally connected at a first end thereof to a second end of the hollow upper main shaft and at a second end thereof to a first end of the lower main shaft;
f) a bottom frame;
g) two wheels, one of the two wheels is located on each of two opposing ends of the bottom frame;
h) a lower bag cradle connected to a second end of the lower main shaft;
i) a folding-control rod member pivotally connected at a first end thereof to a middle portion of the coupling frame and at a sliding lug of a second end thereof to a middle part of the bottom frame, the folding-control rod member being movable between folded and extended positions;
j) a locking device connected to the middle part of the bottom frame, the folding-control rod member being selectively secured in and released from the extended position by the locking device;
k) an upper link pivotally connected at a first end thereof to the hollow upper main shaft and at a second end thereof to a first side of the locking device;
and
l) an lower link pivotally connected at a first end thereof to the lower main shaft and at a second end thereof to a second side of the locking device,
wherein, when the folding-control rod member is located in the extended position, the first end of the folding-control rod member is pivoted to a position extending outwardly from the bottom frame and the hollow upper main shaft is extended by the upper link and the lower main shaft is extended by the lower link, and, when the folding-control rod member is located in the folded position, the first end of the folding-control rod member is pivoted toward a predetermined one of the two opposing ends of the bottom frame and the hollow upper main shaft is retracted by the upper link and the lower main shaft is retracted by the lower link.
