AI Technical Summary
Conventional golf carts lack effective storage solutions for golf bags, leading to poor usability and increased risk of damage when loading and unloading bags.
The golf cart features a unique bag placement system with concave left, right, and central placement portions, along with a club storage section formed by U-shaped tubular members, and a ladder-shaped main support portion to suspend the bag placement and club storage sections.
This configuration enhances the storage and accessibility of golf bags, reduces the risk of damage during loading and unloading, and improves overall usability by allowing easier access to side pockets.

Summary of the Invention
Problems to be Solved by the Invention
[0004] An object of the present invention is to provide a golf cart with improved storage performance for a golf bag.
Means for Solving the Problems
[0005] A golf cart according to an aspect of the present invention includes a golf cart body having driving means, a loading platform provided at the rear end of the golf cart body, a bag placement portion having a concave left placement portion provided above the rear side of the loading platform for placing a golf bag and disposed on the left side with respect to the traveling direction of the golf cart body, a concave right placement portion disposed on the right side with respect to the traveling direction of the golf cart body and disposed at the same height as the left placement portion, and a concave central placement portion disposed between the left placement portion and the right placement portion and disposed at a position higher than the left placement portion and the right placement portion.

Brief Explanation of Drawings
[0007]
Figure 1
Embodiment for Carrying out the Invention
[0008] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
[0009] FIG. 1 shows the configuration of a golf cart 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1(a) shows a perspective view when the golf cart 10 is viewed obliquely from the rear, and FIG. 1(b) shows a perspective view when the rear side of the golf cart 10 is viewed obliquely upward from below.
[0010] The golf cart 10 has a golf cart body 20 having a driving means and a loading platform 30 provided at the rear end of the golf cart body 20.
[0011] The bag placement part 40 is provided above the rear side of the loading platform 30 for placing a golf bag on the loading platform 30, and includes a concave-shaped left placement part 40L disposed on the left side with respect to the traveling direction of the golf cart body 20, a concave-shaped right placement part 40R disposed on the right side with respect to the traveling direction of the golf cart body 20 and at the same height as the left placement part 40L, and a concave-shaped central placement part 40C disposed between the left placement part 40L and the right placement part 40R and at a position higher than the left placement part 40L and the right placement part 40R. The left side wall part 40CL of the central placement part 40C and the right side wall part 40LR of the left placement part 40L are integrally formed, and the right side wall part 40CR of the central placement part 40C and the left side wall part 40RL of the right placement part 40R are integrally formed.
[0012] The club storage part 50 is formed by arranging a plurality of bottomed U-shaped tubular members along the width direction of the front golf cart body 20 so that the longitudinal direction faces obliquely upward at the rear side between the loading platform 30 and the bag placement part 40 to support the lower end part of the golf bag and store the golf clubs.
[0013] The main support part 60 has a ladder shape, stands on the loading platform 30 above the club storage part 50 and extending obliquely upward at the rear side of the loading platform 30, and supports the bag placement part 40 by connecting the upper end to the lower surface side of the bag placement part 40, and supports the club storage part 50 so as to suspend it from above.
[0014] The strength reinforcement part 70 is provided at a position higher than the bottom parts 40LC of the left placement part 40L and 40RC of the right placement part 40R and lower than the bottom part 40CC of the central placement part 40C to connect the right side wall part 40LR of the left placement part 40L and the left side wall part 40RL of the right placement part 40R for reinforcing the strength of the bag placement part 40.
[0015] The sub-support part 80 is made of a rod-shaped member, stands upright at the upper center of the loading platform 30 so as to extend rearward from the rod-shaped member, and connects the upper end to the lower surface side of the strength reinforcement part 70, thereby supporting the bag placement part 40.
[0016] By the way, in a conventional golf cart, when placing, for example, four golf bags on the loading platform, they can only be placed in a single row at the same height. Therefore, for the two golf bags placed in the center, it is difficult to take out the balls and golf tees stored in the side pockets of the golf bags, and the usability is poor.
[0017] On the other hand, as in the present embodiment, by providing the central placement part 40C, the left placement part 40L, and the right placement part 40R in a stepped manner, for example, when placing two golf bags on the central placement part 40C and one golf bag on each of the left placement part 40L and the right placement part 40R, it becomes easy to take out the balls and golf tees stored in the side pockets of any golf bag. Also, by making the placement locations of the golf bags stepped, it is possible to suppress damage to the golf bags when loading and unloading the golf bags.
[0018] Furthermore, as the club storage part 50, if cylindrical members for the number of players are arranged and club storage cases dedicated to each person are provided, it is possible to suppress damage to the golf clubs and easily confirm the number of golf clubs.
[0019] That is, the golf cart 10 of the present embodiment includes a golf cart body 20 having a driving means, a loading platform 30 provided at the rear end of the golf cart body 20, and a loading platform 30 for placing a golf bag on the loading platform 30. A concave-shaped left mounting portion 40L provided above the rear side of the cart body 20 and disposed on the left side with respect to the traveling direction of the golf cart body 20, a concave-shaped right mounting portion 40R disposed on the right side with respect to the traveling direction of the golf cart body 20 and at the same height as the left mounting portion 40L, and a concave-shaped central mounting portion 40C disposed between the left mounting portion 40L and the right mounting portion 40R and at a position higher than the left mounting portion 40L and the right mounting portion 40R. The left side wall portion 40CL of the central mounting portion 40C and the right side wall portion 40LR of the left mounting portion 40L are integrally formed, and the right side wall portion 40CR of the central mounting portion 40C and the left side wall portion 40RL of the right mounting portion 40R are integrally formed. A bag mounting portion 40, a club storage portion 50 formed by arranging a plurality of U-shaped tubular members having a bottom along the width direction of the golf cart body 20 so that the longitudinal direction faces obliquely upward at the rear side of the loading platform 30 between the loading platform 30 and the bag mounting portion 40 to support the lower end portion of the golf bag and store the golf clubs, and a main support portion 60 having a ladder shape, standing on the loading platform 30 above the club storage portion 50 and extending obliquely upward at the rear side of the loading platform 30, and connecting the upper end to the lower surface side of the bag mounting portion 40 to support the bag mounting portion 40 and support the club storage portion 50 so as to be suspended from above.
[0020] Further, the golf cart 10 of the present embodiment includes a strength reinforcing portion 70 provided at a position higher than the bottom 40LC of the left mounting portion 40L and the bottom 40RC of the right mounting portion 40R and lower than the bottom 40CC of the central mounting portion 40C to connect the right side wall portion 40LR of the left mounting portion 40L and the left side wall portion 40RL of the right mounting portion 40R to reinforce the strength of the bag mounting portion 40, and a sub-support portion 80 of a rod-shaped member that extends rearward of the loading platform 30, stands upright at the central upper portion of the loading platform 30, and connects the upper end to the lower surface side of the strength reinforcing portion 70 to support the bag mounting portion 40.
