ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a wheel stop device of a golf cart, and more particularly to a wheel stop device of a golf cart, wherein the drive portion of the drive member may be directly moved by the user's one foot, so that the stop end of the connecting rod may be locked between the spokes of the wheel of the golf cart, thereby locking the wheel and stopping movement of the wheel.
2. Description of the Related Art
A conventional two-wheel type golf cart in accordance with the prior art comprises a main rod having a mediate portion provided with an upper support base and a lower end provided with a bottom support base. Each of the upper support base and the bottom support base is provided with a snap strap for securing the golf bag and the club set. The main rod is provided with a wheel frame which is provided with two wheels. A conventional three-wheel type golf cart in accordance with the prior art comprises a main rod having a mediate portion provided with a wheel frame which is provided with two rear wheels, and a lower end provided with a front wheel.

the connecting rod is mounted in the through hole of the receiving chamber of the fixing seat, and has a shank having a first end formed with a stop end and a second end formed with a screw portion;
the spring is mounted on the shank of the connecting rod;
the fixing ring is mounted on the shank of the connecting rod to mate with the spring; and
the drive member includes a press portion and a drive portion, the press portion has a front end face formed with an end face and an oblique end face, the press portion has a side protruded with two spaced opposite oblong ears and a clamping recess formed between the two spaced opposite oblong ears.
Further benefits and advantages of the present invention will become apparent after a careful reading of the detailed description with appropriate reference to the accompanying drawings.
