Putter Holding Assembly with Movable Towel Support
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing golf cart storage solutions do not efficiently keep the putter golf club readily accessible and organized, often requiring golfers to search through golf bags for the putter during play.
Innovation Solution
A holding device comprising a tube with a receiver for the putter handle, brackets for secure attachment to a golf cart, and a movable support for a towel, allowing the putter to be stored exposed and easily retrievable, while keeping it separate from other clubs.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the putter is stored in a golf bag with other clubs, then all clubs can be stored together, but the putter becomes difficult to locate and access quickly
Solution Approach 1:
The invention separates the putter storage function from the main golf bag by providing a dedicated tube mounted on the golf cart. This segmentation allows the putter to be stored independently and accessed quickly without searching through the golf bag, directly resolving the contradiction between club consolidation and putter accessibility.
2Ease of operation
If the putter is kept exposed on the golf cart, then it is easily accessible, but it may move or fall during transport
Solution Approach 1:
The receiver is inserted into the tube, creating a nested structure where the receiver provides retention features (such as a retainer or clip) that secure the putter handle. This nested design allows the putter to be easily accessible while preventing it from moving or falling during transport, resolving the contradiction between accessibility and storage security.
3Ease of operation
If a dedicated tube structure is added to the golf cart, then putter accessibility is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The tube serves multiple functions: it provides structural support, acts as a mounting interface for the receiver, and offers protection for the putter. The receiver combines retention and securing functions in a single component. This multi-functionality reduces the need for additional separate parts, thereby improving putter accessibility while minimizing the increase in device complexity.

AI summary
A putter holding assembly for storing a putter golf club on a golf cart includes a tube for accommodating a handle of a putter golf club having a head of the putter golf club being exposed for gripping. A receiver is provided and the receiver is coupled to the tube. The receiver insertably receives the handle of the putter golf club when the handle of the putter golf club is inserted into the tube for storage. A pair of brackets is each positionable around the tube. Each of the brackets engages a structure on a golf cart for retaining the tube on the golf cart. A support is movably coupled to the tube and a towel is coupled to the support such that the towel is available to a golfer.
