Wheeled Golf Bag Carrier with Finger Spring Attachment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Golfers face strain on their back and shoulders due to the weight and size of golf bags when carrying them between locations, and existing solutions like pull carts are cumbersome or not widely used.
Innovation Solution
A compact wheeled golf club bag carrier with a tubular base and wheels that fits over the bottom of any size golf bag, secured by finger springs or a support brace with a retractable handle, allowing easy rolling of the bag.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If pull carts are used to transport golf bags, then the golf bag can be moved without carrying, but the pull carts are large and cumbersome
Solution Approach 1:
The invention extracts only the essential wheel mechanism from the complete pull cart system, creating a standalone wheel assembly that attaches directly to the golf bag. This eliminates the need for the entire cart structure, achieving the ability to move the golf bag without carrying while reducing the volume from a full cart to a compact wheel attachment.
Solution Approach 2:
The wheel assembly is designed to nest within or attach to the existing golf bag structure. The wheel housing can contain the wheel mechanism, and the entire assembly attaches to the bag in a space-efficient manner, allowing the moving object (wheel assembly) to be compact while still providing the function of moving the golf bag.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a wheeled carrier is designed to fit any golf bag size, then versatility is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The carrier incorporates adjustable components such as movable side walls or expandable structures that can dynamically change size to accommodate different golf bag dimensions. This dynamic adjustment capability allows the same device to fit various bag sizes without requiring multiple specialized carriers, achieving versatility while managing complexity through a single adjustable design rather than multiple fixed-size devices.
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
Enables golfers to effortlessly roll their golf bags between locations, reducing strain and accommodating various bag sizes, while being compact and easy to use.
Implementation Method 1
one or more finger springs may be attached to the inside of the tubular wall. The finger springs apply pressure to the bottom of a golf bag thereby securing the wheeled golf club bag carrier to the bottom of the golf bag.

AI summary
A wheeled golf club bag carrier (1) having a base (2) with a tubular wall (3) extending upward a predetermined length. Wheels (4) attached to the underside of the base allow a user to roll the wheeled golf club bag carrier. One or more finger springs (6) may be attached to the inside of the tubular wall. The finger springs apply pressure to the bottom of a golf bag (5) thereby securing the wheeled golf club bag carrier to the bottom of the golf bag. The golf club bag carrier has also a support brace (8) which extends upward from the base and the tubular wall and has a retractable handle (9) attached thereto. A user may secure a golf bag to the support brace via a strap (10).
