[0002] Golf clubs are inserted into a golf bag. The head part of the golf club protrudes upward from the head frame of the golf bag, and a plurality of insertion holes and grids for separating the golf clubs are provided in the head frame. However, since the head part of the golf club is likely to collide above the head frame, it causes damage to the head part of the golf club.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0003] The technical problems to be solved by the present invention are as follows. Golf clubs are inserted into a golf bag, and since the head part of the golf club is likely to collide above the head frame, it causes damage to the head part of the golf club.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical means. The lift cylinder type golf bag includes a bag body, a head frame provided at the top of the bag body, a base provided at the bottom of the bag body, and a lifting part movably fitted to the head frame. The lifting part surrounds the golf clubs inserted into the bag body, the highest position after rising is higher than the golf clubs, and after descending, the head part of the golf club is exposed. A lock assembly is provided between the lifting part, the bag body, and the head frame. The lock assembly can lock the high position and the low position after descending of the lifting part, and the unlocking button of the lock assembly is provided on the tip side part of the lifting part.

[0005] The golf club is inserted into the bag body through the insertion hole or grid of the head frame, and the head portion of the golf club protrudes upward from the head frame. The operator raises the lifting part, and since the lifting part surrounds all the golf clubs and the highest position is higher than the head portion of the golf club, the lifting part protects the golf clubs in the golf bag and avoids being subjected to external collisions. When the operator uses the golf club, the operator lowers the lifting part to expose the head portion of the golf club for easy insertion and removal.

[0006] When the lifting part rises to the highest position, it is at a high position. When the lifting part descends to the lowest position, it is at a low position. Since a locking assembly is provided between the lifting part, the bag body, and the head frame, the locking assembly can lock the lifting part when it is at a high position. The unlocking button of the locking assembly is provided at the top of the lifting part, so that the operator can easily unlock the locking assembly.

[0007] As a structural option, an annular groove is formed in the head frame, and the lifting part can penetrate through the annular groove and be inserted downward into the bag body. The annular groove separates the head frame into an intermediate island shape and an outer ring shape. The lifting part can be hidden inside the bag body when descending.

[0008] As an option, the lifting part includes an upper frame, a lower frame, and a connecting part that fixedly connects the upper frame and the lower frame. When the lifting part rises to a high position, the lower frame abuts against the bottom of the head frame. When the lifting part descends to a low position, the upper frame abuts against the top of the head frame. In this way, the lifting range of the lifting part is limited. As an option, the connecting part may be a lever, a block, and an external material surrounding the lever or the block so that the lifting part becomes a cylindrical member to protect the golf club.

[0009] As a structural option, the bag body includes an external fiber rod that fixedly connects the head frame (specifically, the outer annular part of the head frame) and the base, and an internal fiber rod that fixedly connects the head frame (specifically, the middle part island of the head frame) and the middle part frame. The middle part frame is fixedly attached to the external fiber rod. The external material of the bag body surrounds all the external fiber rods, with the top connected to the head frame and the bottom connected to the base. The lifting part inserted downward into the bag body is located between the external fiber rod and the internal fiber rod. The bag body uses fiber rods and can effectively reduce the weight of the golf bag.

[0010] The lower frame is movably fitted to the external fiber rod and can move up and down along the external fiber rod. The external fiber rod corresponds to the guide rod of the lower frame, and a guide hole for fitting the external fiber rod is formed in the lower frame.

[0011] As an option, the lock assembly includes a cylindrical member that fixedly connects the upper frame and the lower frame, and a release lever provided within the cylindrical member. The release button is hinge-connected to the upper frame. One end of the release button is movably connected to the top of the release lever, and the bottom of the release lever is connected to a wedge block. A guiding position-limiting member is provided at the bottom of the cylindrical member. The striker is movably fitted within the guiding position-limiting member, a spring is fitted therein, and a wedge groove that fits with the wedge block is provided. A lock block is provided on an external fiber rod. A connection base is provided at the bottom of the upper frame, and the top end of the cylindrical member is fixedly connected to the connection base via a connecting member. The release button is hinge-connected to the connection base. One end of the release button protrudes laterally from the upper frame, enabling easy pressing by the operator. The other end of the release button is positioned above the release lever. By pressing the release button, the operator causes the release button to tilt around the hinge axis with the connection base, acting like a lever to drive the release lever downward. The release lever drives the wedge block downward. The wedge block is inserted into the wedge groove of the striker, driving the striker to move parallelly. The striker is drawn into the guiding position-limiting member, disengaging from the lock block to achieve unlocking and enabling the lifting and lowering part to descend.

[0012] When the lifting and lowering part is displaced upward and reaches a high position, the wedge-shaped striker automatically locks across the lock block, locking the lifting and lowering part. In this case, the striker drives the wedge block and the release lever to rise and return. The top end of the release lever drives the release button to pivot and return, and one end of the release button connected to the release lever abuts against the bottom of the upper frame, limiting the pivoting range of the release button.

[0013] As an improvement, a brake switch is provided on the grip of the head frame, casters are provided at the bottom of the base, a braking member is provided on the casters, and the braking member is connected to the brake switch via a brake wire. The operator operates the brake switch to pull the brake wire, the brake wire pulls the braking member, the braking member contacts the caster, and the caster is braked.

[0014] The brake switch includes a brake button and a brake release button that are movably fitted to a brake switch substrate (attached to the grip of the head frame). A hook portion is fixed to the brake release button, a step that can engage with the hook portion is provided on the brake button, the brake button can linearly displace along the brake switch substrate, and is connected to the brake wire. The operator displaces the brake button upward to pull the brake wire. The hook portion engages with the step, and the brake button is locked. When releasing the braking of the caster, the operator presses the brake release button to disengage the hook portion from the step, so that the brake button descends and returns, the braking member rotates and returns under the action of a torsion spring, and the braking of the caster is released.

Advantages of the Invention

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention achieves the following technical effects.

[0016] First, the golf clubs inserted into the golf bag are comprehensively protected by the lifting part and can be taken in and out more easily by the user.

[0017] Second, the high position state of the lifting part is automatically locked and can be unlocked by the user.

[0018] Third, the unlocking button of the lifting part is provided near the top, which can not only be easily operated but also looks beautiful.

[0019] Fourth, the bag body uses fiber rods, and the outside of the lifting part uses PE material or cloth, which can effectively reduce the weight of the golf bag.

[0020] Fifth, a brake switch is provided on the grip of the head frame, so that the user can easily lock and unlock the casters.

[0021] Hereinafter, the present invention will be further described with reference to the drawings.
