DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFE~RED EMBODIMENTS

A golf club rack in the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1, includes an elongate rod 1, a support base 2, a locating disc 3, a ball holder 4, and a carrying band 5 assembled together.
The elongate rod 1 has a round plate at bottom, a bent section 13 in an upper portion, a binding band 14 fixed on the bent section. An extensible rod 12 as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 is provided in a lower portion of the elongae rod 1 and a coil spring 121 fits around the rod 12 to recover the extensible rod 12 back to its place after the extensible rod 12 is pulled down, and a bolt 122 is fixed at top of the extensible rod 12 and protruded the wall of the elongate rod 1, extending also in a lengthwise guide slot 15 in the elongate rod 1.
The guide slot 15 has a hook-shaped bottom end 151 so that the bolt 15 can be hooked at the bottom end 151, securing the rack on the ground when the extensible rod 12 is pressed down to extend out of the bottom of the elongate rod 1.
The support base 2 is made of a proper material, having a plurality of club holes 21 for the top ends of golf clubs to insert therein upside down, fixed firmly on a lower portion of the elongate rod 1 above the round plate 11 by means of a screw 22 and a sleeve tube 23 fitting around the rod 1 under the support base 2, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5.
The locating disc 3 is made of a kind of elastlc soft material, shaped as shown in FIG. 3, fixed firmly on the upper portion of the elongate rod 1 with two screws 31, 31, and having a plurality of club holes 32 corresponding to the holes 21 of the support base 2 for the lower slender portions of golf clubs to fit therein, a long projection 33 and a short projection 34 extending outward from each hole 32, and a V-shaped notch 35 being formed by each pair of the long and the short projection 33 and 34 for receiving a slender lower portion of a golf club, which is forcibly pushed into each club hole 32 ot secure the club on the rack.
The ball holder 4 is made of a kind of elastic soft material, having a plurality of round recesses 41 and being firmly fixed upright beside the bent section 13 of the elongate rod 1 so that golf balls can be held therien.
The caryying band 5 is adjustable in its length for carrying this rack, fixed on the elongate rod 1 with two screws 51, 52.
In using, as shown in FIG. 2, golf balls 6 are placed in the recesses 41 of the ball holder 4, caught therein by elasticity of the recesses 41 without falling off the holder 4.
Then a golf club 7 is held downward, with the grip, the upper portion, inserted in one of the club holes 21 of the support base 2, and then the lower portion 72 of the club 7 is slightly pushed to expand the long and the short projection 33 and 34 to enter the club holes 32 via the notch 35 and be kept therein. After all the golf clubs are placed in the rack, the binding band 14 is bound around all the golf clubs 7, keeping them from falling off the rack, and the carrying band is used to shoulder it for carrying.
In handing this rack, the bolt 122 with the extensible rod 12 is pushed down and hooked at the hook-shaped bottom end 151 of the slot 15, preventing the extensible rod 12 from retreating, and forced to insert in the ground to stand up. Then the golf clubs in the rack can be taken out for use.
After use, the rack is pulled out of the ground, with the extensible rod 12 retreated back in the elongate rod 1. The rack can be shouldered with the carrying band 5, and also be carried by holding the bent section 13 of the elongate rod as well.
As can be understood from the above description, this golf club rack has advantages as follows.
1. Its whole weight is very light, convenient for carrying on a shoulder or with a hand.
2. It is a good bargain for users.
3. It can be directly inserted in the ground, handy for handling.
While the preferred embodiments of the invention have been described above, it will be recognized and understood that various modifications may be made therein and the appended claims are intended to cover all such modifications which may fall within the spirit and scope of the invention.
