ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to the field of golf implements and accessories. More specifically, the present invention relates to a golf bag equipped with a detachable carrier that is particularly designed to provide wide utility to a golfer and enhance the enjoyment and convenience of the game.
2. Description of the Prior Art
In case of a conventional golf bag, it is difficult for the golfer to carry it in a wide golf course that golf is played on because the golf bag is designed to be carried on his/her shoulder or in his/her hand. Accordingly the greater part of golfers make use of separate carrying devices such as golf carts or golf carriers or go with caddies to carry the golf bag for them who are playing golf. Nevertheless carrying the golf bag is still troublesome due to the weight and volume of the carrying device itself.
In this reason, the golf bag equipped with a carrier has been developed. However since several such brands and styles of a golf bag carrier known and widely used on golf courses have many parts and complicated structures to adjust the angle of the carrier, it is difficult to manipulate the carrier and manufacturing costs become rising. Also, since the conventional golf bag carrier is mounted to the mediate between left side and right side of the golf bag, the golf bag is hung down due to the weight thereof, thus the connection part between the carrier and the golf bag is capable of easily being damaged. When the connection part is damaged, it is difficult to exchange only the damaged part due to the complicated construction, thus the entire of the golf bag carrier must be repaired.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Accordingly, the present invention has been made keeping in mind the above problems occurring in the prior art, and an object of the present invention is to provide a golf bag equipped with a carrier which is capable of easily carrying the bag in any ground state and securely making it stand on the ground by simply and easily operating the angle of the carrier with respect to the golf bag.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a golf bag equipped with a carrier that is capable of easily being detached from the bag in non-use or in packing.
A further object of the present invention is to provide a golf bag equipped with a carrier that is capable of preventing it from being damaged due to the hang down phenomenon of the golf bag.
A further another object of the present invention is to provide a golf bag equipped with a carrier which is capable of easily carrying it in a comfortable posture by freely manipulating the angle of the handle when a golfer or a caddy carries it on the field.
A further another object of the present invention is to provide a golf bag equipped with a carrier which has a simple construction and a small number of parts, thereby remarkably reducing possibilities of troubles and weights of it.
A further another object of the present invention is to provide a golf bag equipped with a carrier which is capable of easily detaching/attaching wheels of the carrier according to an user's intention, thereby resolving the trouble of assembling work due to the size or weight of the carrier.
In order to accomplish the above objects, a golf bag equipped with a carrier according to the present invention comprises: a pair of supporting plates fixed in a body of the golf bag; a pair of main plates detachably mounted to the supporting plates; a pair of leg units rotatably/fixedly mounted to the main plates; a pair of wheel units engaged with the lower end of the leg units; and a handle unit engaged with the upper side of the body of the golf bag.
