Modular Golf Bag Body Assembly with Clamping Fasteners
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional golf bags are difficult for non-professionals to dismantle and modify due to complex assembly and repair, leading to resource wastage and limited consumer customization options, as they are designed with fixed sizes and shapes.
Innovation Solution
A golf bag design featuring an upper frame, bottom frame, main body pieces, secondary body pieces, and a handle that can be freely assembled and disassembled using clamping grooves, strips, and buttons, allowing for easy replacement and customization of body pieces and handle sizes/colors with adhesive tapes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If traditional stitching and riveting mode is used to fix fittings, then structural strength is improved, but ease of disassembly and modification deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The golf bag is divided into multiple independent body pieces (first body piece, second body piece, third body piece) that can be separately assembled and disassembled. Each body piece has independent clamping structures (clamping grooves, clamping strips, buttons) allowing non-professional personnel to easily dismantle and reassemble the bag without affecting overall structural integrity.
2Ease of operation
If complex assembly mode with buckles is used, then ease of assembly is improved, but reliability of connection deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The vulnerable inserting buckles are removed from the design. Instead, a more reliable connection system is implemented using clamping grooves, clamping strips, and button fasteners that provide both ease of assembly for non-professionals and reliable connections that maintain structural integrity during use.
Solution Approach 2:
Clamping strips serve as intermediary elements between body pieces and support rods. These strips fit into clamping grooves and are secured by buttons, creating a reliable mechanical connection that is easier to assemble than traditional buckles while maintaining connection strength.
3Manufacturing precision
If body pieces with complicated workmanship are used, then manufacturing precision is improved, but ease of repair deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The bag body is segmented into multiple independent pieces with standardized clamping interfaces. If one body piece is damaged, only that specific piece needs to be replaced rather than returning the entire bag for repair. The clamping groove and button design allows for easy replacement by non-professional personnel.
Solution Approach 2:
The design allows damaged body pieces to be easily removed and replaced. Instead of repairing complicated integrated structures, users can discard damaged pieces and replace them with new or spare pieces, recovering the functionality of the golf bag with minimal effort and cost.
4Ease of manufacture
If fixed size handle is used, then manufacturing simplicity is improved, but adaptability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The handle system is made adjustable rather than fixed. The handle can be positioned at different locations along the upper frame by using the clamping groove and button mechanism, allowing consumers to select handle positions that suit their needs. This dynamic adjustment capability is achieved through the same modular clamping system used for body pieces.

AI summary
The invention relates to an assembled golf bag. The assembled golf bag includes an upper frame, a bottom frame, a support rod, a main body piece, a secondary body piece and a handle. The upper frame, the bottom frame and the primary body piece of the bag are fixed integrally by rivets. The support rod and the main body piece having clamping slot are assembled with the secondary body piece having clamping piece in a fastening and twisting manner, so that the secondary body piece can be easily removed and replaced. Sizes and colors of the handle can be changed by placing different color strips on the handle body. The invention has the advantages that the body piece of the ball bag can be freely matched according to the demand, the replacement is easy and the maintenance is convenient, and the parts on the bag can be recycled.
