FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates generally to a golf bag, and more particularly to a tilting structure of the golf bag.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
As shown in
FIGS. 1-3
, a prior art golf bag
10
is provided with a tilting structure comprising a base
20
, an actuating plate
26
, and a leg frame
30
. The base
20
is provided in the underside with a level surface
21
and an inclined surface
22
. Located at the junction between the level surface
21
and the inclined surface
22
is a pivoting plate
24
which is fastened with the base
20
by two rivets
23
. The pivoting plate
24
is provided in the underside with two pivoting lugs
241
for pivoting the actuating plate
26
in conjunction with a pivot
25
. The actuating plate
26
is opposite in location to the inclined surface
22
of the base
20
and is engaged with a connection rod
31
of the leg frame
30
. With the weight of the golf bag
10
and the external force exerting on the golf bag
10
, the prior art golf bag
10
can be tilted such that the golf bag
10
is supported by the the base
20
and the leg frame
30
on a surface. As the golf bag
10
is under pressure, the actuating plate
26
is forced to turn on the pivot
25
so as to come in contact with the inclined surface
22
of the base
20
, thereby actuating the connection rod
31
of the leg frame
30
. As a result, the leg frame
30
expands to support the golf bag
10
on the surface in an inclined position, as shown in FIG.
3
.
The prior art golf bag tilting structure is defective in design because it is complicated in construction, and because the actuating plate
26
and the pivoting plate
24
cannot be easily replaced in the event that they are damaged.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a golf bag with a tilting structure which is simple in construction and cost-effective.
It is another objective of the present invention to provided a golf bag with a tilting structure which comprises a base, and actuating plate detachably fastened with the base.
In keeping with the principle of the present invention, the foregoing objectives of the present invention are attained by a golf bag tilting structure comprising a base, an actuating plate, and a leg frame. The base is provided in the underside with a retaining portion. The actuating plate is provided with a hooked portion to engage a connection rod of the leg frame, and a retaining portion by which the actuating plate is detachably fastened with the retaining portion of the base in conjunction with a plurality of fastening screws.
