Collapsible Golf Bag Frame With Rollable Pocket for Easy Carry
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional compact golf bags do not ensure reliable portability and convenience when carrying a small number of clubs, especially during approach shots or on public golf courses, as they maintain a significant size and weight even when empty.
Innovation Solution
A golf bag design featuring a tubular main body frame with a foldable or rollable pocket and a detachable handle, along with optional supports to maintain the bag off the ground, allowing for reduced volume and enhanced portability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a compact golf bag is designed with a smaller size to store only a small number of clubs, then the bag becomes easier to carry, but the portability and mobility are not reliably secured when the bag is empty
Solution Approach 1:
The golf bag employs a collapsible frame structure that can dynamically change its configuration. When clubs are present, the frame maintains its expanded tubular shape to provide structural support and stability. When clubs are removed, the frame can be collapsed to a compact form, allowing the bag to adapt its state based on usage conditions and ensuring reliable portability in both scenarios.
Solution Approach 2:
The golf bag is divided into separable components including the frame, pocket, and cover. The frame can be detached and collapsed independently, allowing the bag to be disassembled into smaller segments for easier storage and transport when not in use, while maintaining its functional integrity when clubs need to be stored.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the golf bag maintains a sufficient storage space extending in the longitudinal direction to store golf clubs, then clubs can be stored, but the bag cannot be folded to become significantly small when not in use
Solution Approach 1:
The frame structure transitions from an extended tubular configuration when clubs are stored to a collapsed compact form when empty. This dynamic transformation allows the bag to maintain sufficient storage space capability when needed while reducing its volume significantly when not in use, resolving the contradiction between storage capacity and compactness.
Solution Approach 2:
The pocket is designed to be nested within or attached to the frame structure, and both can be collapsed together. When the bag is not in use, the pocket and frame can be folded into a compact nested configuration, minimizing the overall volume while maintaining the capability to expand and store clubs when required.
3Ease of operation
If a handle is permanently installed on the main body frame to enable carrying, then the bag is easy to carry, but the bag cannot be detached or stored compactly
Solution Approach 1:
The handle is designed as a separate, detachable component rather than being permanently fixed to the frame. This segmentation allows the handle to be easily attached and detached as needed, providing ease of carrying when required while enabling compact storage when not in use, and avoiding the complexity of permanent attachment mechanisms.

AI summary
Disclosed is a golf bag having a minimum volume when not in use. The golf bag includes a main body frame having a tubular shape and a pocket made of a foldable or rollable material, the pocket being connected to a lower portion of the main body frame and being configured to support a golf club stored therein through the main body frame, and a handle detachably installed on one side of the main body frame and configured to be held by a user or hung on a device of a golf cart. The golf bag further includes a support detachably coupled to the main body frame and configured to support the main body frame such that the main body frame is in a state of being spaced apart from the ground.
