GOLF BAGS Filed Oct. 21, 1952 United States Patent 2,751,955 GOLF BAGS James M. Nahon, Tangier, Morocco Application October 21, 1952, Serial No. 315,894 Claims priority, application Morocco October 25, 1951 2 Claims. (Cl. 1501.5)
This invention relates to improvements in golf bags both in their constructionto make the production and assembly thereof easier, more practical and economical and in the provision of new elements on the bags for greater convenience in the use of the bag.
These improvements will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings illustrating a particular embodiment.
Fig. l is a perspective view of the skeleton of a golf bag according to the invention.
Fig. 2 is a perspective view similar to Fig. 1 with a part of the covering material being provided on the skeleton.
Fig. 3 is an elevational view of the completed golf bag provided with a hood closing the top.
Fig. 4 is a perspective view on a larger scale of the top of the skeleton of the bag.
Fig. 5 is a perspective view, on a larger scale, of the bottom portion of the skeleton of the bag.
Fig. 6 is a perspective view, on a larger scale, showing the bottom of a padded base provided on the completed bag of Fig. 3.
The bag according to the invention as illustrated on the drawings comprises a skeleton or frame (Fig. l) of light metal, plastic or other material, and including a top collar A, and a lower collar B having a back tensioning bar D extending therebetween. Four flat, side tensioning bars E extend between the collars A and B at the sides of the latter, with the fiat side bars B being preferably disposed at right angles to the sides of the collars to which they are connected. Rigid reinforcing elements or pieces C (Figs. 1, 2, 4 and 5) extend laterally across the collars A and B at the opposite ends of the side tensioning bars E to strengthen the collars and reinforce the opposite ends of partitions in the bag, as hereinafter described in detail.
The collars A and B have lateral openings or cutouts P which are adjacent the ends of the vertical bars E and for greater manufacturing convenience, the top collar is only fixed in place after the complete bag body has been slipped into its final or assembled position, around the five vertical bars D and E.
In order to obtain a practical means of classifying the clubs in three groups and of protecting them in a positive way, two vertical partitions are provided to define three separated compartments within the golf bag, and such partitions are formed in the following manner for greatest simplicity and economy in manufacture:
A sheet of the same kind of material (Fig. 2) (leather. plastic, canvas and the like) as is used for the outside body of the bag is encircled completely around the vertical side bars E to form a tube-like structure having its opposite end edges extending through the cutouts F, so that the portions of the sheet extending laterally between the bars E disposed at the opposite sides of the skeleton form the necessary vertical partitions G (Fig. 2), while the portions G1 of the encircling sheet at the sides of the skeleton lie inside a conventional tubular bag body H (Fig. 3) which is fitted over the skeleton.
On the lower part of the bag a special base (Figs. 3 and 6) is telescopically fitted for better contact with the ground and includes an upstanding, marginal flange .T fitting tightly round the lower collar and a bottom member 11, the bottom member J1 and the flange J being both padded; thus, the increased surface of the base affords better stability to the bag when placed on the ground in an upright position; and the bottom padding provides increased protection for the bottom of the bag which is exposed to the severest wear.
The whole of the said base is preferably formed of a waterproof and extremely resistant material, such as, for example, natural or synthetic rubber to avoid the need for using the old style elements: rigid material base, studs at the point of contact with the ground and the like.
A base formed of such material is elastically retained on the lower end of the bag and can be removed for replacement or to facilitate repairs.
The above described golf bag is preferably provided with a detachable hood K (Fig. 3) for the protection of the club heads, and the hood K may be connected to the bags top by means of a small chain K1, so that the hood can be fastened around the upper end of the bag to cover the club heads, or it can be housed and concealed inside a lengthwise compartment K2 which is provided at the forward edge of the bag and closed by a conventional slide fastener.
Although an illustrative embodiment of the invention has been described in detail and shown in the accompanying drawings, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to that precise embodiment, and that various changes and modifications may be effected therein without departing from the scope or spirit of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
What I claim is:
1. A golf bag comprising a rigid frame including a lower collar and an upper collar, a back tensioning bar extending between said collars, a plurality of flat side tensioning bars extending between said collars at the sides of the latter with said fiat side bars being disposed at right angles to the sides of said collars to which they are connected, rigid reinforcing elements extending laterally across said collars at the opposite ends of said side tensioning bars to strengthen said collars and reinforce the opposite ends of partitions in the bag, said collars having cut-outs in the confronting edges thereof adjacent the related ends of said side tensioning bars, a sheet of covering material wrapped successively around said side tensioning bars and received at its opposite end edges in said cut-outs to define an enclosure of rectangular crosssection, and a tubular bag body extending around said frame so that the laterally extending portions of said rectangular enclosure divide the interior of the bag body into segregated club receiving compartments.
2. A golf bag according to claim 1; further comprising a padded base having an upstanding marginal flange elastically engaging around the lower portion of said body on said lower collar to provide a bottom surface of increased area aifording greater stability to the bag when it is stood on end and to protect the lower portion of the bag from damage due to moisture and abrasion.
