ABSTRACT:
A retrofitable passenger/cargo carrier unit for standard utility golf carts is disclosed. The passenger/cargo carrier unit is designed to be retrofitable to any passenger type golf cart and is mountable to the cart without drilling holes in the cart through the use of adjustable clamps which hold onto existing support tubes found such carts. The carrier unit converts readily between a cargo carrier and passenger carrier which is capable of carrying up to two extra passengers. The passengers are seated parallel to the direction of motion of the cart and passenger additional safety is provided by a rear gate. A "swing-away" clamp is disclosed for use with the passenger/cargo carrier which allows the existing golf bag holder assembly to swing out of the way of rear passengers or cargo; thus assuring the functionality of the carrier. Further a rear canopy for the protection of rear passengers or cargo is disclosed which attaches to the carrier. The rear canopy being carefully designed so that it does not interfere with any after market inclement weather covers available for standard golf carts.
