ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to improvements for golf bag leg supports, the improvements more particularly providing a storage compartment for the leg supports during off the golf course non-use and, primarily for appearance sake, also on the golf course during alternating opening and closing of the support legs.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Field of the Invention
After a golf round, it is desirable to stow the golf bag support legs in a storage compartment both for appearance sake and also to minimize any contact of the legs or their leg-opening wire spring mechanism that might result in damage. As illustrated in U.S. Pat. No. 2,283,412 for “Golf Bag Support” to W. H. Bright on May 10, 1942, a compartment centrally located on the rear surface of the golf bag is zippered open to release the legs from their storage condition within the compartment so as to partake of alternating pivotal traverses into opening and closing movements through the zipper opening. The length portions of cooperating panels of the compartment adjacent the zipper teeth which bound therebetween the zipper opening however are in the path of movement of the leg-opening and leg-closing pivotal traverses, and consequently contact with these panels and, although nominal, this contact adversely effects the operation of the legs. Even more of an inconvenience, the zipper opening remains open during play and is a repository for debris.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Broadly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a golf bag leg mechanism storage compartment overcoming the foregoing and other shortcomings of the prior art.
More particularly, it is an object to coordinate the opening and closing of the support legs with the opening and closing of the storage compartment so that there is no interference with the operation of the support legs and, in fact, the closing of the zipper openings of the storage compartment facilitates the closing of the support legs, all as will be better understood as the description proceeds.
