Golf bag sustained with leg means

Abstract

A golf bag sustained with a leg is provided, including a bag body for storing golf clubs; a base mounted at the bottom of the bag body and having a flat surface portion, an anchored portion, an inclined plane portion; and a support piece detachably mounted at the bottom of the base. The support piece includes a flat sheet and a pair of opposing first fastening portion and second fastening portion formed on the flat sheet. The first fastening portion is assembled with the leg, and the second fastening portion is coupled to the anchored portion, so as to support the golf bag up by means of the assembled leg and support piece.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] This invention relates to golf bags sustained with leg means, and more particularly, to a golf bag having a support piece to be assembled with the leg means so as to support the golf bag up at a tilt. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] Golf has become a popular sport with ever increasing popularity among various walks of life and age groups. Many golfers like to practice their game without a caddie, carrying their golf bags by themselves. In order to avoid the golf bag from falling over on the grass and / or reduce the inconvenience of golf club removal and replacement, the present design of a golf bag employs a support piece on the base for locating a leg means, which enables the golf bag to be positioned on a tilt and allows convenient access to the clubs. [0003] As shown in FIG. 1, a conventional golf bag comprises a hood 1, a bag body 2 and a base 3. The hood 1 is positioned on the upper end of the bag body 2 and has a circular rim at the outer periph...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0009] Another objective of the present invention is to provide a golf bag sustained with leg means, which can be easily assembled and whose manufacturing cost can be reduced.

[0010] A further objective of the present invention is to provide a golf bag sustained with leg means, allowing the golf bag to be firmly supported by the leg means.

[0013] When the support member of the leg means is engaged with the first fastening portion of the support piece, the golf bag and the base can be tilted toward the direction of a leg member of the leg means, and the leg member can be extended away from the bag body, so as to support the golf bag up at a tilt. The tilted golf bag allows a use to easily remove the golf clubs from the bag body.

[0014] The support piece can be made of an elastic material to allow repeated opening and closing movements between the second fastening portion of the support piece and the anchored portion of the base. Moreover, the support piece is detachably attached to the anchored portion of the base, such that if the support piece is damaged, a new support piece instead of a whole new golf bag can be simply replaced.

[0015] The shape and size of the second fastening portion and the flat sheet of the support piece can be flexibly arranged, as long as the support piece together with the leg means provide sufficient support for the golf bag set up at a tilt.

[0016] Since the support piece is detachably and directly mounted to the base without requiring additional parts, the golf bag sustained with leg means according to the present invention can be easily and simply assembled. Also, a new support piece can easily replace the old damaged support piece without having to change or discard the whole golf bag, such that the manufacturing cost can be reduced.

Problems solved by technology

Nevertheless, a golf bag must be put up and lifted nearly a hundred times during a golf game, so that the support piece on the base is easily damaged due to frequent movement.

In addition, the support piece, when damaged, is unable to be dismantled from the base of a golf bag for replacement even though other parts of the golf bag are still in good condition.

Hence, ignoring the fact that the assembly process is complicated for a golfer, the number of components involved results in an increase of the overall cost.

Meanwhile, the combination of a number of components requires precision during manufacture, further resulting in additional cost, not to mention that material management becomes more complicated during manufacture and there is too great a consumption of materials involved for making golf bags.

The problems of requiring excessive components in the technique of assembling the base and the support piece of a golf bag lead to inconvenience and difficulties in using, assembling, and manufacturing golf bags, resulting in increased expense for users and increases of manufacturing cost and time.
