Modular stand bag for golf clubs

Abstract

These inventions provide for golf bags, in particular stand type golf bags used in game play are arranged with modular components. These components can be easily switched by a golfer whereby the component may be replace with one having an alternative function or style. In addition, components subject to damage may be quickly and easily replaced with new components. Golf bags are configured with special fasteners which allow parts to be removably affixed to the bag for the switchable components. Standard materials and fasteners might be used elsewhere on the bag. Golf bag components which are arranged to be changeable include at least: the stand element, a back pad, shoulder straps and shoulder moulds, and pockets. Kits comprising an upgrade theme are also arranged to cooperate with these bags and to be sold as stand alone products in support of extended uses of the bags.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THESE INVENTIONS [0001] 1. Field [0002] The following inventions disclosure is generally concerned with containers for sporting equipment and associated accessories and more specifically concerned with stand bags for carrying golf clubs on the course during play. [0003] 2. Prior Art [0004] The notion of interchanging parts of an article to realize added function is not precisely new. Indeed in the clothing industry, there is opportunity for changing parts to form an altered whole and thereby achieve a new look or function. Similarly, personal telephones now come with kits to redress the appearance at the user's pleasure. At present, one major automobile manufacture is considering a vehicle which has changeable components which may be applied to a common chassis to change a ‘car’ into a ‘truck’. Thus, both the look and function may change as a result of changing various component parts of an article. [0005] With further regard to clothing, a few examples are suggested a...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0013] It is an object of these inventions to provide golf club bags comprised of components which may be easily removed.

[0014] It is a further object to provide golf club bags which may easily change their appearance and style.

Problems solved by technology

It is a contrast to prior art methods and devices that known systems do not allow for one to change the function and style of a bag after purchase; one must carefully chose a bag before purchase which satisfies a particular need and has a neutral or modestly attractive look.
