ABSTRACT:
A power- and/or manually- driven golf cart which is collapsible, without disassembly, into a compacted configuration for storing or transporting, and extendable, without assembly, into an operable or usable configuration for carrying a golf bag about a golf course. The golf cart includes a golf bag support frame, a pair of lateral support members pivotally connected to the frame and to a pair of ground support wheels, a power-driven wheel supported at the lower end of golf bag support frame, and a power drive mounted on the front side of the frame. A hinge is operably connected between a lower end of the upper frame member and an upper end of the lower frame member to permit the upper frame member and the lower frame member to be pivotally moved between a substantially aligned extended position and a substantially adjacent folded position. At least two connecting rods are pivotally connected at one end to the upper frame member and at their other ends to one of the lateral support members. When the upper frame member and the lower frame member are pivotally moved to a substantially aligned extended position, the ground support wheels are disposed outward from the golf bag support frame, and when the upper frame member and the lower frame member are pivotally moved to a substantially adjacent folded position, the ground support wheels are disposed closely adjacent to the golf support frame.
