ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a golf bag having an improved supporting device for reliably supporting the golf bag in an inclined status.
2. Description of the Related Art
A typical golf bag may stand in an upright manner or be supported in an inclined status by a supporting device attached to the golf bag.
FIG. 1
of the drawings illustrates a conventional supporting device for a golf bag
11
. The supporting device includes two supporting rods
10
, a support base
12
, and two strips
13
. Each strip
13
includes an upper end pivotally attached to an upper portion of an associated supporting rod
10
and a lower end securely attached to the support base
12
. Thus, the golf bag
11
may either stand in an upright manner (
FIG. 2
) or be supported in an inclined status (FIG.
3
). Nevertheless, when loaded with golf clubs, the golf bag tends to rock since it is only supported by the support rods
10
.
The present invention is intended to provide a supporting device for a golf bag that mitigates and/or obviates the above problems.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In accordance with the present invention, a supporting device for a golf bag comprises a head frame mounted to an upper end of the golf bag, a mounting seat fixedly mounted to the upper end of the golf bag and fixedly mounted to a side of the head frame, and a post including an upper end fixedly connected to the head frame and the mounting seat, the post extending through a longitudinal length of the golf bag. Thus, the post, the head frame, and the mounting seat provide a reliable support for the golf bag.
Two supporting rods are provided and each of which has an upper end pivotally connected to the mounting seat. The supporting rods are pivotable to a status for supporting the golf bag in an inclined status with the lower ends of the supporting rods located on the ground. Two strips are provided and each of which has an upper end attached to the mounting seat and a lower end attached to a support base.
In accordance with an embodiment of the invention, a supporting device for a golf bag comprises:
a head frame mounted to an upper end of the golf bag;
a mounting seat fixedly mounted to the upper end of the golf bag and fixedly mounted to a side of the head frame;
a post including an upper end fixedly connected to the head frame and the mounting seat, the post extending through a longitudinal length of the golf bag;
a support base adapted to be located on the ground;
two strips each including an upper end attached to the mounting seat and a lower end attached to the support base; and
a strip-holding member through which the strips extend, the strip-holding member being slidably attached to the strips to hold the strips;
whereby the supporting rods are pivotable to a status for supporting the golf bag in an inclined status with the lower ends of the supporting rods located on the ground, and whereby the post, the head frame, and the mounting seat provide a reliable support for supporting the golf bag in an inclined status.
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.
