Sliding Golf Bag Holder Layout for Multi-Seat Golf Carts
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing golf carts with multiple seats struggle to efficiently carry multiple golf bags without increasing complexity or requiring additional carts, and existing solutions with fewer components are prone to loss.
Innovation Solution
A golf cart design featuring a fixed and movable holder with integrated sliding tracks and extension rods, allowing flexible adjustment of golf bag attachments to accommodate varying numbers of golfers, using fewer components and minimizing space occupation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If a six-seat golf cart is used to carry more golfers, then the seating capacity is improved, but the ability to carry golf bags deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The golf bag holder is divided into a fixed holder and a movable holder that can be independently adjusted. The movable holder can slide along the extension rod to accommodate different numbers of golf bags, allowing the cart to adapt between carrying 2-6 golfers and their corresponding golf bags without requiring additional equipment.
Solution Approach 2:
The holder design incorporates a movable component that can dynamically adjust its position and configuration. The movable holder slides along the extension rod and can be positioned at different locations to accommodate varying golf bag quantities, transforming a static structure into a dynamic, adaptable system.
2Quantity of substance
If multiple golf bag attachments are provided to carry more golf bags, then the golf bag carrying capacity is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The extension rod serves multiple functions: it acts as a structural support, a sliding track for the movable holder, and an adjustable extension mechanism. This multi-functional design eliminates the need for separate components for each function, reducing overall device complexity while maintaining the ability to carry multiple golf bags.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent combines the fixed holder, movable holder, and extension rod into an integrated assembly where the movable holder slides along the extension rod. This merging of components into a coordinated system reduces the total number of separate parts compared to having multiple independent golf bag attachments.
3Quantity of substance
If multiple golf bag attachments are provided to carry more golf bags, then the golf bag carrying capacity is improved, but the ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The movable holder can be easily slid along the extension rod to adjust the holder configuration, and the golf bags can be quickly attached and detached from the receptacles. This dynamic adjustment mechanism is much simpler to operate than assembling and disassembling multiple separate attachments.
4Device complexity
If components are removed at idle times, then the device complexity is reduced, but the loss of components increases
Solution Approach 1:
By integrating the movable holder and extension rod into a single coordinated assembly, the design eliminates the need to remove and store separate components. The entire assembly remains compact and integrated, reducing the risk of component loss while maintaining simplicity.

AI summary
A golf cart capable of carrying multiple golf bags is provided, where a golf bag holder and a golf bag attachment are arranged at a rear of the golf cart, and a middle of the golf bag attachment is provided with a slot; one end of an extension rod is inserted into the slot, and the other end of the extension rod is provided with an extended golf bag attachment; the golf bag holder includes a fixed holder and a movable holder; sliding tracks are respectively arranged at two sides of the movable holder; and fixed ends of the sliding tracks are respectively located at two ends of the fixed holder. In the above solution, the golf cart adds the movable holder to the sliding tracks such that the movable holder can be stored above the fixed holder without occupying space. The golf cart features fewer components and simple operation.
