Description
Oct. '15, 1929. w. B. PATTERSON GOLF CLUB HOLDING ATTACHMENT FOR GOLF BAGS Filed Sept. 6, 1927 Patented Oct. 15, 1929 UNITED STATES WILLIAM B. PATTERSON, OF PORTLAND, vOREGON GOLF-CLUB-HOLDING ATTACHMENT FOR GOLF BAGS Application filed September 6, 1927. Serial No. 217,724.
My invention relates to glf-bags for carrying a set of golf clubs about while at la Esed to hold the different clubs required for playin the game, these clubs if carried loosein tile ba tend to strike one another, g against the rim of the bag, which causes wearing of the bag, and the-heads of the driver and other wood clubs to be more or less bruised, and the shafts of the clubs also tend to become scratched in the same way. 0
This tendency of the clubs to strike agamst each other is further accentuated by the fact that the heads of the clubs are relatively heavier than their shafts, so that when the caddie swings the bag over his shoulder, the
clubs tend to. strike against each other more or less violently, due to the fact that the greater proportions of their weight is at the .20 head-end of the shaft projecting above the rim of the bag.
Furthermore, the shafts of some clubs are longer than others, andthus whenthe clubs are carried loosely in the bag, the heads of the shorter clubs will tend to bruise and damage the wooden shafts of the longer clubs.
Therefore, the principal object of my invention is to provide the mouth of the golf bag with a golf-club holding means, for holding a set of golf-clubs in such manner that they cannot impact with each other, and also are restrained against freely moving longi tudinally and thus tending to slide out of the bag in certain positions of the latter, and further, to provide for such purpose an attachment which may be readily fastened to the mouthof the golf-bag.
I attain my object by securing in the mouthof the golf-bag a plate, provided with a num- 40 her of spaced and hushed holes, each adapted to receive a golf-club and thus hold the clubs orderly and in spaced relation, preventing in that way the bruising of the golf-clubs, as mentioned.
I Furthermore, I employ for such bushings,
Since the golf-bags are commonly also an elastic material possessing some frictionproperty such as rubber, thereby tendin to restrain the clubs from sliding out of the ag in case the same is tilted at such an angle, as would tend .to cause the clubs to slide out. The bushing material being non-abrasive will also prevent wearing of woodenshafts.
A further object of my invention is to ar range the bushings of the holes of the said plate in the form of removable inserts, so that these bushings may be replaced when wornw A still furtherlobject of my invention is to provide a simple and economical golf-club holder attachment which may be manufactured at a reasonable cost and attached to any golf-bag.
Other features of my invention are hereinafter described with reference to the accom panying drawings, in which I FigL'lshows a side elevation of a golf-bag with my club holding attachment in place and illustrates several clubs inserted therein;
Fig. 2 shows a top plan view of a golf bag and my club-holding attachment;
Fig 3 shows a central vertical section taken on the line 33 of Fig. 2, and discloses further details of construction;
Fig. 4 shows in a similar section to Fig. 3,
a modification of my invention, in which my club holding attachment is adapted to be formed by stamping instead of'cast metal as previously shown;
Fig. 5 shows a top plan view of a golf-bag with my club-holding attachment adapted to be set within the rim;
Fig. 6 shows a section taken on the line 6-6 'ofFig. 5; and v Fig, 7 shows a section taken similarly to Fig. 6, and illustrates this modification of my club-holding attachment adapted to be formed by stamping out of metal sheets.
Referring to Figs. 1 to 3 inclusive, my invention :com rises a circular plate a formed of cast meta preferably aluminum and epproximately equal to the outside diameter of the golf-bag b and provided-with spaced circular holes 0, in which golf-clubs may be inserted,,shaft first.
The plate a is arranged over the open end of the golf-bag Z) and is attached to the inside of the rim by screws e, inserted through the wall of the bag and threaded into angular brackets f, the other portions of which are provided with slotted holes f"through which the brackets are fixed to the underside of the plate a by bolts 6, which provides a degree of adjustment for slight variations in the diameter of bags, since bags of the same size, but products of different manufacturers may vary somewhat in their given diameters.
Each of the holes 0 are provided with bushings g, preferably of rubber, formed with spaced lips g on their outer peripheries, which engage the upper and lower surfaces of the late a at the rims of the holes 0.
In ig. 3, the rims of the holes 0 are rabbeted as at (1 since in this figure my club:
holding attachment is shown as forined of cast metal, and is thicker thanthe space provided between the lips g;
By this construction, the clubs carried in the golf-bag are prevented.- from striking against each other, and from slipping out of the bag, should it be carried in more or less of a horizontal position, by the elastic nature of the bushing and the more or less frictional resistance of the rubber to any movement of the clubs.
In Fig. 4, I have shown my club holder adapted to be stamped out of sheet metal or formed of other material which will permit a plate of thinner cross section to be used. By this construction, the rim of the holes 0 are of such thickness as to fit between the lips 9 without the formation of a rabbet a as shown in Fig. 8. p
In Figs. 5 and 6, I have shown my club holding attachment comprising a plate Z, similar to the plate a, andadapted to be' be formed of cast metal as previously described, except that its diameter is somewhat less than the inside diameter of the bag and is adapted to be arranged'within the rim. The plate Z, as shown in Fig. 6, is provided with a peripheral downwardly extending [flange Z and bolts m are inserted through the wall of the bag and threaded into holes provided in the flange Z.
Fig. 7 shows my club holding attachment adapted to be formed by stamping from sheet metal, with the difference that the plate Z is thinner in cross section, and the rims of the holes are not rabbeted, and in the place of a downwardly extending flange Z, spaced lugs 11 are provided, integral with the plate, in which bolts m are threaded.
As shown in the drawings, I have illustrated my attachment provided with seven holes which I have found to be a convenient numher for an attachment adapted to a five inch bag, but the number of holes may be varied as the diameter of the bag for which it is intended, is larger or smaller.
And as shown in Figs. 5, 6 and 7 the plate Z is formed for a given size of bag, slightly less than the inside diameter and the bolts m are provided of suflicient length toaccommodate variations in the diameter of the bag.
Furthermore, by the use of my club-holder, the clubs may be classified in the bag and maintained in a predetermined arrangement, that is, by using a particular hole always for the same club, there will be no need of searching through the clubs, as when they are loose in the bag, but the desired club will always be ready at hand.
