ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates generally to a golf bag, and more particularly to a base of the golf bag.
2. Description of Related Art
As shown in
FIGS. 1 and 2
, a golf bag base
10
of the prior art is provided with a horizontal underside
11
and an inclined underside
12
. The horizontal underside
11
is provided with a locating slot
111
and is capable of cooperating with an action plate
13
by a pivoting member
14
which is located in the locating slot
111
and is provided with a pivoting hole
141
. The action plate
13
is provided with a pivoting hole
131
and a retaining block
132
. The action plate
13
is fastened pivotally with the pivoting member
14
by a pivot
15
which is received in the pivoting hole
141
of the pivoting member
14
and the pivoting hole
131
of the action plate
13
. The retaining block
132
of the action plate
13
is intended to retain a drive rod
16
of the golf bag.
When the golf bag is tilted, the action plate
13
swivels to stay close to the inclined underside
12
, as shown in FIG.
2
. The drive rod
16
is thus activated.
Such a prior art golf bag base
10
as described above is defective in design in that it is complicated in construction, and that it is not cost-effective, and further that its rejection rate is relatively high.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a novel golf bag base which is free of the deficiencies of the prior art golf bag base described above.
In keeping with the principle of the present invention, the foregoing objective of the present invention is attained by a golf bag base comprising a main body and an action plate pivoted to the main body. The main body is provided with a horizontal underside and an inclined underside, one of which is provided with a receiving slot. The receiving slot is provided in the inner wall with two pivoting holes opposite in location to each other. The action plate is provided with two pivoting projections opposite in location to each other. The action plate is pivoted to the main body such that the two pivoting projections of the action plate are respectively engaged with the two pivoting holes of the receiving slot of the main body.
The foregoing objective, features, and advantages of the present invention will be more readily understood upon a thoughtful deliberation of the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.
