Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a golf bag, and in particular to a golf bag provided with a detachable top cover. [Background Art]

[0002] Currently, most golf bags commonly found on the market adopt a soft-shell structure, and particularly for the top cover portion, the soft-shell design has become one of the main options to reduce weight and improve portability. However, this design gives rise to several obvious problems in some situations. The top cover of the soft-shell structure is generally manufactured from canvas, nylon or polyester materials, which is flexible but has limited elasticity. During the transportation of golf equipment, especially when transported by air or when the vehicle is jostled, if the soft-shell top cover is impacted by strong external force, the club heads are prone to damage or deformation. On the other hand, for air transportation or long-distance transportation, the soft-shell structure cannot provide an anti-theft function, and is easily cut or damaged, which increases the risk of loss or damage to golf equipment.

[0003] In recent years, some manufacturers have solved the above-mentioned problems by changing the top cover of a golf bag to a hard-shell material integrally formed with the bag body, and at the same time improved the usability. However, although the conventional hard-shell top cover structure can achieve the function of protecting clubs, it cannot be detached from the golf bag. Therefore, when a user takes out golf clubs, the hard-shell top cover blocks part of the opening, which is very inconvenient. [Summary of the Invention]

[0004] The main object of the present invention is to provide a golf bag provided with a detachable top cover, wherein the detachable rigid top cover provides a protection function during transportation, and also allows a user to easily take out golf clubs.

[0005] To achieve the objective of the invention described above, the bag body, head frame, and upper cover are provided. A leg assembly having a base and two legs, We offer a golf bag with a removable top cover, including [a specific feature / feature]. The bag body has a storage space extending axially inside, and an opening on the top side of the bag body that communicates with the storage space. The head frame is located within the storage space of the bag body, adjacent to the opening, and a gap is formed between it and the bag body along the radial direction. The top cover has a first covering component and a second covering component, each provided on the top side of the bag body to cover the opening. The first covering component is detachably connected to the bag body, and at least a portion of the first covering component protrudes and is fixed in the gap between the head frame and the bag body. A base is provided on one side of the bag body, and the two legs are rotatably mounted on the base and can rotate between a retracted position and an extended position. The side of the bag body corresponding to the leg assembly further has two extensions that are spaced a predetermined distance apart and extend outward, and a groove formed between the two extensions, and the two legs are housed in the groove in the retracted position.

[0007] Referring to Figures 1 to 4, a golf bag with a removable top cover according to a first preferred embodiment of the present invention mainly comprises a bag body 10, a head frame 20, a top cover 30, a connecting assembly 40, and a leg assembly 50. Details are as follows.

[0008] The bag body 10 is a hollow cylindrical member and has a storage space 11 inside that extends along the axial direction of the bag body 10, and an opening 12 on the top side of the bag body 10 that communicates with the storage space 11. The storage space 11 is for storing at least one golf club (not shown), and the opening 12 is for inserting and removing the golf club from the storage space 11 of the bag body 10. The bag body 10 has, from bottom to top, a first contact portion 13, a base portion 14, and a second contact portion 15 on the inner wall surface near the opening 12. The first contact portion 13 extends along the axial direction of the bag body 10. The base portion 14 is connected to the top of the first contact portion 13 and extends outward along the radial direction of the bag body 10. The second contact portion 15 is connected to one end of the base portion 14 away from the first contact portion 13 and extends along the axial direction of the bag body 10. Of these, the base portion 14 is positioned approximately perpendicular to the first contact portion 13 and the second contact portion 15, so that the second contact portion 15 is located radially outside the first contact portion 13.

[0009] In this embodiment, the bag body 10 is made of a rigid material, such as ABS plastic or PC plastic.

[0010] The head frame 20 is an annular member and is provided within the storage space 11 of the bag body 10. It has at least one compartment 21 in its center, so that each golf club provided within the storage space 11 is sorted through each compartment 21. Of these, a part of the outer surface of the head frame 20 abuts against the first contact portion 13 and is fixed to the first contact portion 13 by a fixing component 22, and another part faces the second contact portion 15, thereby forming a gap 60 between the head frame 20 and the second contact portion 15 of the bag body 10 along the radial direction of the bag body 10. The base portion 14 is the bottom surface of the gap 60.

[0011] The upper cover 30 has a first covering part 31 and a second covering part 32 that are detachably connected and provided opposite the side of the bag body 10 to cover the opening 12. In this embodiment, the first covering part 31 is made of a hard material that is harder than the soft material of the second covering part, and has a covering portion 310 and an insertion portion 311. The covering portion 310 is a hollow shell part that is approximately semi-elliptical, and the insertion portion 311 is approximately semi-circular sheet-shaped and is connected to the bottom of the covering portion 310 and extends away from the covering portion 310. When the first covering part 31 is connected to the bag body 10, the insertion portion 311 is inserted into the gap 60 between the head frame 20 and the second contact portion 15 to form a fixed state, and the outer surface of the insertion portion 311 abuts against the second contact portion 15. The covering portion 310 is exposed from above the bag body 10. The second covering part 32 is made of a soft material, one end of which is fixed to the opposite side of the first covering part 31 on the bag body 10, and is connected to the covering portion 310 of the first covering part 31 by a wire fastener 320.

[0012] The connecting assembly 40 is provided between the first covering component 31 and the bag body 10 and is for connecting the first covering component 31 to the bag body 10. Specifically, the connecting assembly 40 has a first connecting component 41 and a second connecting component 42. The first connecting component 41 is provided on the outer surface of the first covering component 31. The second connecting component 42 is provided on the outer surface of the bag body 10 and is detachably connected to the first connecting component 41. In this embodiment, the connecting assembly 40 has a snap button structure.

[0013] The leg assembly 50 comprises a base 51, two legs 52, and an elastic component 53. The base 51 is fixed to one side of the bag body 10, and the two legs 52 are rotatably mounted on the base 51 and operated to rotate between a retracted position and an extended position. When the two legs 52 are in the retracted position, they are attached to the bag body 10 substantially parallel to the axial direction of the bag body 10. When the two legs 52 are in the extended position, they contact the ground at approximately a predetermined angle to the bag body 10, allowing the bag body 10 to be used at an angle. The elastic component 53 is provided on the bag body 10 and acts on the two legs 52 to generate momentum for the two legs 52 to move from the extended position to the retracted position. Of the two legs, the side of the bag body 10 corresponding to the leg assembly 50 further comprises two extensions 16 that are provided at a predetermined distance apart and extend outward, and a groove 17 formed between the two extensions 16. Of these, the two legs 52 of the leg assembly 50 are housed in the groove 17 when retracted, and the thickness of the extension portion 16 along its extension direction is greater than the distance between the two legs 52 and the bag body 10. As a result, when the bag body 10 is transported on a flat surface, the two extension portions 16 come into contact with the ground, but the two legs 52 do not, thus effectively preventing the two legs 52 from being damaged in a collision.

[0014] According to the structural configuration described above, in the golf bag according to the present invention, during actual use, the user can switch between a closed state and an open state of the upper cover 30 by operating the zipper 320. As shown in Figure 1, when the zipper 320 is raised, the upper cover 30 is switched to a closed state, closing the opening 12 and preventing the removal of each golf club from the storage space 11. Normally, the closed state is used when storing or transporting the golf bag, and in this state, the first covering part 31 made of hard material can effectively provide protection to each golf club inside the bag body 10. On the other hand, as shown in Figure 5, when the zipper 320 is opened, the upper cover 30 is switched to an open state, allowing the second covering part 32 to separate from the first covering part 31, thereby exposing the opening 12 and allowing the removal of each golf club from the storage space 11. Normally, the open state is used when the golf bag is in use. Since the first covering part 31 is removable, the user can separate the first covering part 31 from the second covering part 32 and release the connection between the first connecting part 41 and the second connecting part 42 of the connecting assembly 40, thereby removing the first covering part 31 from the bag body 10 and fully exposing the opening 12, allowing the golf clubs to be taken out. After use, the insertion part 311 of the first covering part 31 is inserted into the gap 60 again, and the first covering part 31 is reconnected to the bag body 10 by the connecting assembly 40, completing the installation of the first covering part 31. Therefore, the removable structure of the first covering part 31 effectively improves the flexibility of the golf bag during use.

[0015] As shown in Figure 6, a golf bag with a removable top cover according to a second preferred embodiment of the present invention has a structure similar to that of the first preferred embodiment. However, in this embodiment, the connecting assembly 40 has a plug-in buckle structure.

[0016] As shown in Fig. 7, the golf bag with a removable top cover according to the third preferred embodiment of the present invention has a structure similar to that of the first preferred embodiment. However, in this embodiment, the top cover is provided opposite to the top side of the bag body 10 and comprises two identical first covering members 31 for covering the opening 12. Each of the first covering members 31 is detachably connected to the bag body 10, and at least a portion of each first covering member 31 protrudes into and is fixed in the gap 60 between the head frame 20 and the bag body 10. Accordingly, both of the two first covering members 31 can be removed from the bag body 10 to completely expose the opening 12, which makes it easier to take out each golf club in the accommodation space 11.

[0017] As described above, the golf bag with a removable top cover according to the present invention, in which the top cover is detachably arranged and comprises the first covering members with a certain hardness, not only provides the function of protecting clubs during transportation, but also can be removed at any time during use to make it easier to take out the clubs, effectively improving the flexibility of use of the golf bag. On the other hand, by forming the groove for accommodating the leg assembly with the two extending portions, it is possible to prevent the leg assembly from being damaged by collision during use or transportation.
