ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The invention relates to a golf bag.
If one full golf club set including woods, irons and a putter, plus practice clubs are put in one golf bag, the bag will weigh as heavy as about 10 kg.
A golf bag has a shoulder strap and is usually carried by a caddie or player on his shoulder.
Carrying such a heavy bag on a shoulder from one hole to another is a lot of labor and troublesome.
An object of this invention is to provide a golf bag which can be carried easily even if it contains many clubs and thus is heavy.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
According to the invention, there is provided a golf bag comprising a body having a bottom, and wheels mounted to the bottom of the body, the wheels being mounted such that when the body is stood erect on a flat surface, it is supported on the bottom alone with the wheels not in contact with the flat surface, or on both the bottom and the wheels, and such that when the body is tilted in a proper direction, the body is supported on the wheels alone.
With this arrangement, by tilting the golf bag so that only the wheels get into contact with ground, the golf bag can be easily moved on the wheels.
The wheels should be detachably mounted on the body. With this arrangement, when the wheels get worn, they can be replaced with new ones. Thus the golf bag can be used semi-permanently unless any other damage occurs.
In order for the user to easily identify club numbers in a golf bag and take out a proper club by gripping its neck, the necks of all the clubs in the bag, including short clubs, i.e. short irons and putter, have to protrude from the top of the bag. For this purpose, most golf bags are up to one meter tall.
In order to tow such a short bag by gripping the highest point of the bag, the user has to walk awkwardly with his back hunched like a monkey. The extension handle allows the user to walk like a human with his back straight while towing the bag.
Other features and objects of the present invention will become apparent from the following description made with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
