ABSTRACT:
A self-propelled golf bag car assembly (10) is provided to allow a golfer to walk during a round of golf while having the golf cart (12) and the contents carried by the cart (10). The bag cart (10) includes a plurality of cooperative subassemblies for performing specific functions. The bag cart (10) includes a free subassembly (16), a first drive wheel subassembly (10), a second drive wheel subassembly (20), a caster subassembly (28), a handle subasembly (30), and a hand grip subassembly (32). Each of the drive wheel subassemblies (18, 20) includes a shoulder (22), a motor (26), and a wheel (24) subassembly. Power and control is provided by directly driving a motor (118) associated with each wheel (24) through an electrical subassembly (38). The electrical subassembly includes a battery (48) and a variety of controlling components situated in a manual control box (34), a main power unit (54) the hand grip (32), and an optional remote control unit (36). The bag cart (10) is primarily characterized by direct independent drive of the wheels, compactibility from a use mode to a storage mode, and precise user control from the hand grip (32), or the remote control unit (36). The primary expected usage of the self propelled golf bag cart assembly (10) is by individual golfers on walking courses.
