Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of golf sports equipment, and more particularly to an improved chassis for a wheeled bag. [Background technology]
[0002] When transporting a conventional golf bag, it is generally necessary to place the golf bag in a wheeled bag. A wheeled bag chassis is generally attached to the bottom of the wheeled bag, and casters are attached to the lower part of the chassis. The wheeled bag can be tilted and towed by manually pulling the top of the wheeled bag. However, because the bag is supported and towed by two casters, only an upward force from a person can ensure that the bag can be moved and transported in an inclined state. This requires a lot of manual labor, which is inconvenient and requires a lot of manual labor, especially for people with weak strength.
[0003] Therefore, in the suitcase device with fully retractable, movable, biased cantilever support legs of Chinese Patent Application No. 200810126247.2, the pair of support legs is designed to support the weight of the suitcase device when in use. When not in use, the support legs are fully retracted into the suitcase device and can be easily and safely transferred to an extended operating position. This makes it easy to transport large and heavy objects in the suitcase device, but it is cumbersome to operate because the entire support leg frame must be pulled downward and inverted to operate it.

After entering the frame mounting groove, the elastic restoring force of the lateral spring causes the positioning part to extend from the top end of the fixed sleeve and insert into the upper protruding positioning recess, thereby locking the support frame. Inserting the protruding positioning part into the corresponding positioning recess makes it less likely to fall out of the frame mounting groove, improving the locking effect and improving safety in use.

The guide protrusion guides the vertical guide plate 38 as it moves up and down, and prevents the vertical guide plate 38 from shifting.
[0025] This embodiment has two states during use. One state is a folded state in which the support frame 30 is positioned in the frame mounting groove 20. At this time, the positioning portions at the upper ends of the position limiting posts 33 extend from the upper ends of the vertical support tubes 31 and the fixing sleeves 32 and are inserted into the upper protrusion positioning recesses. The outer ends of the protrusion positioning portions 521 are inserted into the positioning recesses formed in the side walls of the corresponding vertical grooves 21, thereby fixing the support frame 30 to the caster chassis 10. At this time, the blocking portion 241 is located behind the left or right part of the gripping rod 3 and blocks the left or right part of the gripping rod 3.

[0026] The other state is the use state, in which by grasping the gripping rod 3 by hand and pulling downward, the positioning part at the upper end of the position limiting post 33 is retracted and withdrawn from the upper protrusion positioning recess, and then the moving block 34 descends, the vertical guide plate 38 descends, and its bottom surface descends along the oblique wall surface of the guide insertion hole 53, causing the lateral positioning block 52 to move inward and laterally, compressing the lateral spring 1, at this time, the outer end of the protrusion positioning part 521 is disengaged from the positioning recess 211 formed in the side wall of the corresponding vertical groove 21, at this time, by simply pulling the gripping rod 3 backward with the hand holding it, the support frame 30 can be inverted and deployed, and during inversion, the fixing sleeve 32 and the vertical support 31 will move together until the upper end of the position limiting post 33 faces the front protrusion positioning recess. The top of the support tube 31 rotates along the semicircular groove 211, and as the lateral spring 1 returns, all parts return to their original positions, so that the upper ends of the position limiting posts 33 extend from the upper ends of the vertical support tube 31 and the fixing sleeve 32 and are inserted into the corresponding front protrusion positioning recesses to achieve locking. At this time, the support frame 30 is substantially perpendicular to the rear wall surface of the caster chassis 10. In this way, the caster chassis 10 is left in an inclined downward position and pressed against the ground by the support casters 40 and the bottom casters 11. Then, the caster chassis 10 can be manually pulled to move laterally, so that a golf bag, an airline bag, etc. can be placed in the caster chassis 10 and transported, which greatly reduces manual labor and is highly efficient in use.
