Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the general art of sport bags and in particular to the field of golf bags. More particularly, the invention relates to a golf bag which allows stick and club access via the side of a bag and which allows exposure of an internal stand which receives and retains golf clubs via lateral loading .
  • the invention provides an alternative to the top loading golf bags and allows a player to load a golf bag during play without having to upturn a club and load via its handle.
  • a golf bag will comprise a wall defining an inner receptacle and various pockets on the exterior of the wall.
  • Players always load a golf bag with clubs handle first through an opening in the top of the bag. This causes the club head to protrude above a top rim of the bag and the club handles to engage the bottom of the bag. Thus the clubs an; loaded into the bag upside down.
  • Known golf bags essentially comprise a bag-type container that accommodates the clubs and at least one further insertable accessory, in which the clubs are disposed in recesses that are distributed around and within the circumference, thereby forming a center cavity.
  • Golf bags optionally include a trolley or carriage on wheels and a towing bar with a handle.
  • golf bags are known in great numbers and in the most varied embodiments.
  • so-called standing bags are used in many instances, which have a narrow, quiver-type container for the clubs and are provided with various pockets on the outside.
  • they are equipped with support legs that open up when the bag is set down, and have not only a handle but also at least one carrying strap.
  • the disadvantage of such golf bags can essentially be seen in the fact that they must be carried, that in order to facilitate carrying, they do not have a lot of storage space, and that they experience a severe stress on the support legs, which stress can actually lead to destruction, because of the constantly repeated setting-down process.
  • a trolley or a golf buggy in turn consists essentially of a chassis with wheels and a towing bar with a handle, and can be broken down into its individual parts relatively quickly, at least in various embodiments.
  • DE 299 19 158 Ul shows a golf bag that accommodates golf clubs and other equipment items, having a plurality of club holder elements that are formed by segments of hollow profiles and a bag body that surrounds a storage cavity, whereby the side wall formed in this way has at least two segments, releasably connected with one another and club holder elements rigidly connected with one another.
  • the golf bag can be (releasably) connected with the golf cart at the side wall, with one segment.
  • United States Patent 6,997,274 discloses a golf bag that essentially comprises a ready-to-go, bag-type container with carrying handle that accommodates the clubs and at least one further insertable accessory.
  • the clubs are disposed in recesses that are distributed across the circumference of the container, thereby forming a center cavity.
  • the golf bag also comprises a trolley on wheels and a towing bar with a handle and an electronic control.
  • the aim of the invention disclosed in this patent is to provide a golf bag that can be used for many purposes.
  • the recesses for the clubs are configured as chambers subdivided by internal partitions between an inner tube and an outer tube, several chambers forming together a flap across the length of the container that can be opened or closed.
  • the container is further linked to a suitcase-type, transportable unit by means of a linkage that extends in the center thereof.
  • the wheels are housed in an upper cover and in a lower cover and the trolley hoop the motor and the battery in the interior of the container.
  • the present invention provides an alternative to the known golf bag assemblies. More particularly, the present invention provides a golf bag assembly which allows selective access to the inside of the bag without the aforesaid prior art limitations of top loading.
  • the invention further provides a golf bag which allows stick and club access from the side of a bag.
  • the invention further provides a golf bag including a removable external cover which exposes an internal module or stand including a support assembly for one or a plurality of golf clubs.
  • the present invention comprises: a golf bag of the type having a wall defining an internal space to form a quiver like receptacle; the internal space terming at one end in an opening allowing access to said internal space; the wall terminating at an opposite end in a closed base; characterised in that the bag includes in said internal space a stand which is accessible for storage of golf clubs; wherein, the wall comprises a removable cover capable of exposing said stand and allowing a player to gain ready access to the golf clubs for use and storage during play.
  • the cover includes a variety of compartments which allows a golfer to store golfing accessories.
  • the use of a top opening allows access and storage of golf clubs according to conventional methods.
  • the removable cover combines the security of a bag wall with accessibility of the stand provided by the removable wall cover.
  • the present invention comprises: a golf bag of the type having a wall defining an internal space to form a quiver like receptacle; the internal space terming at one end in an opening allowing access to said internal space; the wall terminating at an opposite end in a closed base; characterised in that the bag includes in said internal space a stand having at least first and second tiers to enable storage of golf clubs by engagement within; the first and second tiers having corresponding formations which each receive part of a golf club to be stored in said stand, wherein, the stand is accessible for storage of golf clubs; and wherein, the wall comprises a removable cover capable of exposing said stand and allowing a player to gain ready access to the golf clubs for use and storage during play; wherein the golf clubs engage said stand via said first and second tiers.

Abstract

Les sacs de golf de la présente invention se distinguent de tous les sacs de golf connus en ce qu'ils permettent d'accéder aux clubs par le côté du sac. L'invention propose en outre un sac de golf comprenant un couvercle amovible, au-dessous duquel se trouve un module ou support intérieur comprenant un ensemble support qui comporte une partie de fond et une partie de dessus recevant et maintenant respectivement un club de golf ou une pluralité de clubs de golf. L'invention permet au joueur d'introduire ou de charger tous les 'fers' dans le sac à partir du côté du sac, toutes les lames étant situées à la base du sac. On peut charger par le dessus les clubs en bois et les accessoires que l'on peut introduire (c'est-à-dire parapluie, etc.), dont la forme et la dimension sont variables. Il y a un emplacement systématique et numéroté pour tous les clubs, ceux-ci ayant tous une position dédiée à l'intérieur du sac. Tous les clubs sont 'saisis' à leur emplacement spécifique individuel et leur chargement et déchargement nécessitent une action de pousser-tirer. Tous les clubs sont indépendants les uns des autres et ne se touchent pas.
