ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a support base for a golf bag.
2. Description of the Related Art
FIG. 6
of the drawings illustrates a conventional support base
16
for a golf bag
12
, wherein the support base
16
is rotated through 90° for supporting the golf bag
12
in a tilt status. Nevertheless, the support base
16
might be rotated inadvertently and a support leg
14
of the support base
16
tends to be broken when the support leg
14
is inadvertently moved to a position shown in FIG.
7
. The present invention is intended to provide a support base that solves this problem.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
A support base in accordance with the present invention is mounted to a golf bag of the type having a substantially U-shaped resilient defined by a mediate section and two limbs. The support base comprises two parallel side passages in a top side thereof. The support base further comprises a cutout in a lateral side thereof. The cutout and the side passages being communicated with each other and arranged to define a tongue with the side passages located on both sides of the tongue. Each side passage includes an open outer end and a closed inner end. An end wall defining the inner end of each side passage includes an inclined groove. The cutout includes an outer open end and an inner end that is aligned with the closed inner ends of the side passages. The outer end of the cutout allows insertion of the mediate section of the resilient member into the closed inner end of the cutout until each of the limbs of the resilient member reaches the closed inner end of an associated one of the side passages, thereby allowing the limbs to be pivoted into the inclined grooves for supporting the golf bag in a tilt position.
The outer open end of the cutout is located at a level higher than that of the inner end of the cutout. The mediate section of the resilient member is pivotally received in the outer open end of the cutout.
Other objects, advantages, and novel features of the invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
