Golf Bag Carrier with Detachable Wheels and Segmented Base
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional golf bag carriers with detachable wheels are often bulky, inefficient, and unsuitable for long distances, causing discomfort and instability, while existing solutions fail to provide a stable and accessible design for both wheeled and carried use.
Innovation Solution
A golf bag carrier with a base and detachable wheel assemblies that maintains a low center of gravity and high moment of inertia, allowing easy conversion between wheeled and carried modes, featuring a quick connect mechanism for wheel attachment and a telescopic handle for stable pushing and pulling.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Speed
If a separate cart with frame construction is used to wheel the golf bag, then the golf bag can be transported over long distances, but the device becomes bulky and adds excessive weight
Solution Approach 1:
The base is segmented into a lightweight platform without frame construction, with wheels that can be detached. This separates the essential base from the optional wheeled attachment, allowing the base to remain lightweight while still providing wheeled transport capability when needed.
Solution Approach 2:
The wheels are made detachable from the base, allowing the configuration to change dynamically between wheeled and non-wheeled modes. This enables the system to adapt to different transport needs without permanently carrying the weight and bulk of a full cart structure.
2Speed
If a separate cart with frame construction is used to wheel the golf bag, then the golf bag can be transported, but the overall device size becomes bulky
Solution Approach 1:
The base is designed as a compact platform without unnecessary frame construction, separating the essential support function from the optional wheeled transport function. This reduces the base volume while maintaining transport capability through detachable wheels.
Solution Approach 2:
The wheeled cart structure is extracted from the base design, allowing the base to be compact and lightweight. The wheels can be attached when transport is needed and removed when not needed, eliminating the need for permanent bulky cart structures.
3Speed
If the golf bag is secured to a separate cart, then the bag can be wheeled, but the bag may shift or separate causing instability
Solution Approach 1:
The golf bag is integrated with the base through attachment means, creating a unified stable unit. The base serves as both the support structure and the attachment point for wheels, ensuring the bag remains securely positioned during transport without shifting or separating.
4Speed
If conventional wheels are attached to the base, then the golf bag can be wheeled, but the center of gravity rises reducing stability
Solution Approach 1:
The base is designed with specific local characteristics including a lowered center of gravity and optimized wheel placement. The wheels are positioned to maintain low center of gravity, and the base construction provides localized reinforcement where needed while keeping overall weight minimal.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The solution provides a lightweight, compact, and stable golf bag carrier that can be easily pushed, pulled, or carried, maintaining the integrity of the bag and its contents, with detachable wheels that enhance mobility and storage convenience.
Implementation Method 1
the wheels or wheel assemblies are detachably attached to the base
Implementation Method 2
the center of gravity or mass of the golf bag carrier is relatively low and close to the ground and has a high moment of inertia, so that the inventive carrier is particularly stable with the wheels attached
Implementation Method 3
a handle that is deployed to enable the golf bag carrier to be pushed and pulled while the golf bag maintains is shape and integrity as a container

AI summary
A golf bag carrier has a base with opposing upper and lower base surfaces, an outer base wall between the upper and lower base surfaces and right and left arm assemblies attached to or extending from the outer base wall. The carrier also has a golf bag with an open top end, and a bottom end arranged opposite the top end that is attached to or integral with the base, and first and second wheels detachably connectable to the right and left arm assemblies, respectively. The base is virtually separated into two substantially equally sized opposing first and second base portions. The right and left arm assemblies are arranged in the first opposing base portion. A stand device deployment mechanism is arranged in the second opposing base portion, substantially opposite the arm assemblies, which are adapted to enable the first and second wheels to be detachably removed from the golf bag carrier to facilitate storage.
