The holes 5-through the side 3 are preferably staggered with respectlto. the holes 5 through the side, 4*. One end of the trough-like structure thus formed is closed by an end plate 6' having a flange 7 'eXtend-ingfrom three of its four edges to engage the outer surface of the ends of the: bottom portion -2 and side portions 3 and 4, it being noted that the flanges at the sides of the end plate: 6 are extended and are turned inwardly, as indicated at 8,. to engagethe inner surface of the sides 3 4.5 'Theend plate 6. is secured to the body portion of. the boxv by means to be hereinafter described.v The end of the said trough-like structure opposite the endplate 6, is closed by an end plate 9- having a flange 10 extending from three of its four edges to engage the outer surface .of the endsof the bottom portion 2v and sideportions 3 and 4, the flange 10 corresponding indepth to the flange: '7 of theend plate 6 to give a finished and, uniform appearance 'to the kit. The metal at the fourth or front edge ofthe end plate 9 is bent at right angles to the said plate, and extends downward-1y a distance coextensive with the flange- 10 to. form a front wall 11, the material at this edge then being turned inwardly to forma wall 12- disposed in parallel spaced relation to the topof the end plate'9. A slot or opening-13 is then formed in the central portion of the wall 11 by slitting the metal and turning the same inwardly at an angle, as clearly indicated at 14. It is to be noted that the wall 12 terminates short of the rear flange 10 of the end plate 9, as shown in Fig. 3 of the accompanying drawings. If desired, a name plate 15 may be riveted or otherwise secured to the top surface of the plate 9 to receive thereon the owners initials, or the manufacturers name, trade-mark or other data.
The end plates 6 and 9 are each provided with a pair of alined openings adapted to receive long, slender bolts 16 provided at their lower ends with nuts 17, by means of which the end plates 6 and 9 are retained in fixed relation to the troughlike structure, these bolts 16 being parallel to and spaced a substantial distance from the bottom 2 of the box-like structure. Each of the bolts 16 is surrounded by a relatively thin, flexible or collapsible tube 18 of rubber or the like, the bore of these tubes being considerably greater than the diameter of said bolts. The external diameter of the tubes 18 is of such dimension as to extend partially across the staggered openings 5 in each of the sides 3 and 4. The kit is provided with a false bottom or partition 19 which bears against the tubes 18 and keeps them eccentrically disposed with respect to the bolts 16, that is, a portion of the material of the tube 18 is clamped against the bolts 16 by the partition 19, with the remainder of the said tube free to be flexed or compressed by the shank of a golf tee inserted through the opening 5, to thus frictionally engage the shank of the tee to prevent said tee from slipping or dropping out of the opening 5, but permitting its ready withdrawal when desired.
Portions of the upper and lower edges of the partition 19 are bent at right angles to the partition, as indicated at 20 and 21,"to maintain the saidpartition 19 in proper spaced and parallel relation to the bottom 2 of the kit. A pair of spacedattaching bolts 22 and 23 pass through the partition 19 and screw into suitable threaded apertures in the bottom portion '2, and suitable spacing sleeves 24 surround each of the bolts and aredisposed between the partition 19 and bottom 2. These bolts pass outwardly beyond the rear face of the bottom 2 and through holes cut or punched in the golf bag 25, a plate 26, washers 2'7 and nuts 28 being provided for cooperation 7 with the said bolts for rigidly clamping the kit to the golf bag '25, preferably near the top portion of the bag and in a position just to the right or to the left of the carrying strap or handle of said bag. The inner edge of the wall 12 and the upper edge of the partition 19 are notched to receive therein a pencil sharpener 29 of conventional construction, the top plate 9 being provided with an aperture 30 through which a pencil may be inserted within the inclined bore of the sharpener, 29. Preferably a thin, flat cross-bar 31 is riveted, welded or otherwise secured to the forward edges of the side portions 3 and 4 of the box-like portion 1 of the kit, this cross bar functioning to retain within the kit, a package of of cigarettes 32, or cigars 33, or other articles placed within rear, upper edge of the cover plate 34 by means of screws or rivets 3'7, and is bent to extend at right angles to the rear face of said plate and then bent upon itself, as clearly shown in the accompanying drawings, to form a spring latch 38 having tapered side edges, this latch, when the cover plate is placed on the box, entering the opening 12 in the front wall 11 of the top plate 9 and frictionally engaging the top, bottom and resilient side walls immediately behind said opening, to detachably connect the front plate 34 to the box-like structure 1 of the kit. The said metal strip extends above the upper edge of the plate 34 and is bent to form a spring loop 39, that portion of the strip disposed in front of thecover plate constituting a spring finger and being gradually tapered and terminating in an outwardly turned portion 40 which bears against the central, front portion of the plate 34 and assists in retaining the score card or cards 36 in position on the front face of said plate. Intermediate the spring loop 39 and end portion 40, the said strip is provided with side extensions 41 which are bent at right angles to the strip to form a resilient pencil clip for receiving and retaining a scoring pencil 42, the clip and the pencil carried thereon constituting a convenient handlelike projection which may be engaged by the fingers to assist in removing the cover plate from the box-like structure 1.
The lower portion of the rear face of the cover plate 34 may, if desired, be plated with a suitable metal to constitute a mirrored surface 43. Between the upper edge of the mirrored surface just described and the spring latch 38, the rear face of the cover plate 34 is provided with a novel clip 44,101' supporting or retaining box or package of matches.
