Abstract
In one embodiment, a kickstand assembly for a golf bag is disclosed, the kickstand assembly comprising: at least one stand leg for supporting the golf bag at an angle; an actuating mechanism coupled to the stand leg, the actuating mechanism causing to deploy the stand leg when the golf bag is positioned at an angle, wherein the actuating mechanism includes separable modular pieces that are removeably coupled to each other along a length of the actuating mechanism. The actuating mechanism of the kickstand assembly may also comprise: an elongated actuating member including a lever actuator, a stand leg actuating rod, and an actuator connector that couples a first end of the lever actuator to a first end of the stand leg actuating rod.

A kickstand assembly for a golf bag, comprising:
- at least one stand leg for supporting the golf bag at an angle;
- at least one stand leg receiver having a first end and an opposite second end, wherein the first end of the stand leg receiver couples to a leg bracket hinge of a leg bracket, and the opposite second end of the stand leg receiver couples to the at least one stand leg;
- and
- an actuating mechanism coupled to the stand leg and external to the golf bag, the actuating mechanism causing to deploy the stand leg when the golf bag is positioned at an angle,
- wherein the actuating mechanism includes separable modular pieces that are removeably coupled to each other along a length of the actuating mechanism,
- wherein the actuating mechanism comprises:
- an elongated actuating member including
- a lever actuator,
- a stand leg actuating rod, and
- an actuator connector that couples a first end of the lever actuator to a first end of the stand leg actuating rod;
- wherein the actuator connector comprises:
- a first portion of the actuator connector coupled to the lever actuator;
- and
- a second portion of the actuator connector coupled to the stand leg actuating rod, wherein a detachable fastening mechanism couples the first portion of the actuator connector to the second portion of the actuator connector.
A modular golf bag stand comprising:
- at least one stand leg;
- a first section having a lever actuator, the lever actuator having a first end and a second end, the second end of the lever actuator couples to an actuator device that causes the at least one stand leg to deploy when the golf bag is tilted;
- a second section having a stand leg actuating rod, the stand leg actuating rod having a first end and a second end;
- and
- an actuator connector removeably couples the first section to the second section, and the second section is coupled to the at least one stand leg,
- wherein the actuator connector comprises:
- a first portion of the actuator connector coupled to the lever actuator;
- a second portion of the actuator connector coupled to the stand leg actuating rod, wherein a detachable fastening mechanism couples the first portion of the actuator connector to the second portion of the actuator connector;
- and the first end of the lever actuator removeably couples to a first portion of the actuator connector, and the first end of the stand leg actuating rod couples to a second portion of the actuator connector.
A modular golf bag stand comprising:
- at least one stand leg;
- a first section having a lever actuator, the lever actuator having a first end and a second end;
- a second section having a stand leg actuating rod, the stand leg actuating rod having a first end and a second end;
- and
- an actuator connector removeably couples the first section to the second section, and the second section is coupled to the at least one stand leg,
- wherein the actuator connector comprises:
- a first portion of the actuator connector coupled to the lever actuator;
- and
- a second portion of the actuator connector coupled to the stand leg actuating rod, wherein a detachable fastening mechanism couples the first portion of the actuator connector to the second portion of the actuator connector;
- wherein the first end of the lever actuator removeably couples to a first portion of the actuator connector, and the first end of the stand leg actuating rod couples to a second portion of the actuator connector;
- a leg bracket having at least one hinge;
- and
- at least one stand leg receiver, the stand leg receiver having a first end and a hollow second end, the first end of the stand leg receiver configured to couple to the hinge of the leg bracket and the hollow second end of the stand leg receiver configured to couple to the stand leg;
- wherein the second end stand leg actuating rod removeably couples to a connector portion of the stand leg receiver.
