Golf Stand Bag Rotate Bottom Base Assembly
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional golf bags with integral bipod stands can inadvertently extend legs when leaned against a wall, leading to instability and potential falling on uneven grass, causing discomfort to golfers due to the exposed pivot bracket activating the legs unintentionally.
Innovation Solution
A golf stand bag with a rotate bottom base assembly featuring a pivot bracket mounted on the sidewall, a supporting rod, a top frame, and activating rods that allow the legs to extend obliquely, preventing accidental activation when the bag is leaned against a wall by using pivot balls and a pivot bracket with a length less than half the circumference to prevent deformation and exposure.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the pivot bracket is exposed out of the bottom of the bag body, then the golf bag can stand obliquely on sloping grass, but the pivot bracket easily presses against the ground and pivots relative to the bottom to inadvertently extend the legs when the user leans the golf bag on a wall
Solution Approach 1:
The pivot bracket is extracted from the exposed position at the bottom of the bag body and repositioned to be rotatably coupled to the rotate bottom base assembly. This extraction removes the harmful exposure while preserving the oblique standing function through the rotating mechanism.
Solution Approach 2:
The pivot bracket is transformed from a static exposed structure to a dynamic component that can rotate relative to the rotate bottom base assembly. This rotational capability allows the bag to adapt between upright and oblique positions while preventing accidental activation when leaned against surfaces.
2Stability of the object's composition
If the golf bag has a flat bottom, then the golf bag can stand upright on the ground, but the golf bag easily falls over on uneven grass
Solution Approach 1:
The bottom structure is transformed from a static flat bottom to a dynamic rotate bottom base assembly that can rotate between upright and oblique positions. This allows the bag to adapt its orientation to match the ground surface, maintaining stability on uneven terrain.
Solution Approach 2:
The bag's standing orientation is extended from a single upright dimension to multiple dimensions including oblique positioning. The rotate bottom base assembly enables the bag to tilt and rotate, adding angular degrees of freedom to accommodate uneven ground surfaces.
3Reliability
If the golf bag is laid on the floor to avoid falling, then the golf bag is stable, but the golfer tires easily due to stooping to lift up and lay down the golf bag
Solution Approach 1:
The golf bag becomes self-standing through the rotate bottom base assembly and leg mechanism, eliminating the need for the golfer to manually lay the bag down for stability. The bag autonomously maintains its position on uneven ground, reducing physical effort for the user.
Solution Approach 2:
The bag's orientation parameter is changed from fixed (upright or laid down) to variable (any angle between upright and oblique). This continuous adjustment capability allows the bag to find its optimal stable position without manual intervention, easing user effort.
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 ensures the golf stand bag can be securely positioned obliquely on uneven ground without unintentional leg extension, enhancing stability and reducing the effort required to manage the bag, thus improving user comfort and preventing accidental falls.
Implementation Method 1
the pivot bracket is rotatably coupled to the rotate bottom base

AI summary
A golf stand bag has a rotate bottom base assembly, a supporting rod, a top frame, a body, two legs and an activating member. The rotate bottom base assembly has a rotate bottom base and a pivot bracket. The rotate bottom base has a bottom, a sidewall formed on the bottom and two pivot balls formed on the sidewall. The pivot bracket has two pivot members pivotally mounted respectively on the pivot balls. The supporting rod is mounted securely on the pivot bracket. The top frame is mounted on the supporting rod. The legs are mounted pivotally on the top frame. The activating rod is mounted on the rotate bottom base and connected to the legs. The pivot bracket mounted on the sidewall instead the bottom of the rotate bottom base prevent the legs of the golf stand bag from inadvertently extending out the legs when the golf stand bag leans against a wall.
