Detailed description of the invention
With reference to figure 1, tackling 10 is shown as carrying golf clubs 12.Tackling comprises golf club carrier 20 and user interface 30.Golf club carrier 20 comprises all for receiving two holding parts 21,22 of golf clubs 12, makes it possible to by moving club relative to the longitudinal length of pipe and takes out golf clubs from holding part.Golf club carrier 20 also comprises the club selection aid having and highlight device, wherein highlights device and is controlled so as to highlight the golf clubs 12 be loaded in the first holding part 21 or the second holding part 22.Club selection aid highlights club by the notice of user being attracted on club.Club selection aid comprises the receiver 41 for reception control signal.Receiver controls to highlight the club that device highlights expectation.Golf club carrier 20 also comprises rigid cap 50.Rigid cap 50 comprises the openable door 51,52 be positioned on each holding part 21,22.Each openable door can pivotable with allow take out golf clubs.
User interface 30 comprise first can action button 31 and second can action button 32.Operating the first button makes the transmitter 34 of user interface 30 that wireless control signal is transmitted into receiver 41.This signal designation club selection aid highlights the golf clubs be loaded in the first holding part 21.Therefore linksman can select correct club from golf club carrier immediately.Second can the operation of action button 32 make club selection aid highlight another golf clubs.Such as, club selection aid can make the golf clubs expected launch or be elevated on another golf clubs.Alternatively or additionally, club selection aid can make lighting device highlight the club of expectation or highlight the openable door of the club comprising expectation.
Advantageously, the rigidity cover with openable door is more more convenient than known flexible rain cover.In addition, because club selection aid highlights the club of expectation, therefore club is selected faster compared with the known flexible rain cover that club only can be hindered to select.Therefore, because the rigidity cover with openable door can identify the club of expectation rapidly, so cover need not be removed during the weather of drying.Therefore, rainy period the club chance of getting wet reduce, reason is not postponing beginning to rain and be attached to by flexible cover between bag.
The method for optimizing highlighting the club of expectation is that club is stretched out by the corresponding openable door in rigidity cover.As shown in the figure, in fig. 2, this can by being located at ejector 53,54 below each holding part 51,52 and realizing, and wherein each ejector is optionally operated by receiver 41 to raise the golf clubs be loaded in corresponding holding part.When golf clubs 12 rises, it is against openable door 51, and described door is in this situation upwards pivotable.Therefore, should against making door open.So selected club 12 is revealed in face of linksman immediately.
Advantageously, the quantity of the parts in golf bag is reduced to save cost and weight reduction.So preferably single ejector is arranged to optionally launch club in two or more holding parts.This can realize by moving ejector relative to two or more holding parts.But in order to further improve the speed of selection, particularly when golf bag delivers on Caddy, preferably holding part moves relative to golf bag.Therefore, the club expected can launch from common point.Therefore, only an ejector and only an openable door must be provided.Again, as additional selection or the alternative of ejector, highlight the club that device visually can be used to refer to expectation and when be ready to be removed from openable door.
With reference to figure 3, show the second embodiment of golf club carrier 20.Golf club carrier 20 comprises multiple holding part, such as pipe 23.Plural any amount of pipe can be provided.But aptly, the quantity of pipe can be about 14, reason is this is the current maximum number allowing the club carried under the rule of golf.Each pipe 23 forms the holding part for the bar handle and shaft receiving golf clubs.In the foot office of pipe, narrow diameter is to form ledge 85.Ledge 85 allows the end of the bar handle of club against thereon.Pipe 23 is located in parallel with each other and is upwards extended.Pipe 23 is arranged in (as shown in Figure 4) on circumferential position.Pipe 23 and top board 24 and base plate 25 form one to form top section 29.In the center of the circumference that pipe is located thereon, top board and base plate comprise hole.Top board and base plate comprise annular flange flange 26,27 toward each other.Annular flange flange comprises the locking piece 28 top section being locked onto axle 50.Therefore the rotation of axle 50 makes pipe 23 rotate.
Axle 50 is rotatably installed in bottom stage 60.Here, bottom stage 60 comprises two isolated frame plates 61,62.Each frame plate 61,62 comprises centre bore, and axle 50 extends through this centre bore.The centre bore of each frame plate 61,62 has annular flange flange 63,64 toward the outside.Modular radial thrust bearing 65,66 coordinates with annular flange flange and axle 50 with rotatably back shaft 50 and top section 29.
Motor 70 is fixed to the downside of most lower frame frame plate 62.Aptly, motor 70 is electro-motors, such as Valeo (RTM) 12v DC gear motor.Therefore cell apparatus (not shown) is also contained in lower section.Should be appreciated that cell apparatus incites somebody to action advantageously rechargeable in known manner.Motor 70 comprises and coordinating so that the gear of rotating shaft with the end of axle 50.Should be appreciated that motor needs axle 50 to rotate to discrete location, make in each position, pipe is positioned at precalculated position.Thus motor must comprise control device, such as controller, relay, proximity sensor and encoder.Such control device operates in known manner with rotating shaft between multiple discrete location.
Two frame plates 61,62 are spaced apart by the spacer 67 be fixed between two frame plates.Highlighting in the space of device between two frame plates 61,63 of such as ejector 80.Ejector 80 is positioned under pipe 23.Aptly, ejector 80 comprises the vertical linearity actuator that can control to raise and reduce abutment member 82.Dip when being in (as shown in the figure) time, abutment member 82 does not contact top section, and top section is rotated freely.When in a raised position, abutment member 82 extends through the most lower opening 84 of pipe 23.Abutment member 82 rises to higher than ledge 85, thus against the end of the golf clubs be loaded in pipe 23.Therefore golf clubs is made upwards to raise.Alternatively, linear actuators can be approximately perpendicular to holding part installation to reduce the size of equipment.Here, abutment member (its can independent of actuator) is flexible and is constrained in bend pipe upwards to raise club.Or, other known mechanisms can be used to move abutment member up and down relative to holding part.Such as, ejector 80 can comprise rack-and-pinion.Here, motor is arranged to driving pinion in any known manner.Tooth bar is connected to or is formed abutment member with Mobile golf bar.Therefore pinion rotation in one direction makes tooth bar raise golf clubs and motion in the other directions makes tooth bar reduce golf clubs.
Due to manufacturing tolerance and control tolerance limit, always pipe can not rotated to just in time consistent with ejector.Therefore in order to compensate this, as shown in Figure 4, the size of the diameter of abutment member 82 is formed as being less than most lower opening 84.Therefore certain mismatch is solved.In addition, the wall in hole and the tip of abutment member are taper.Therefore, if abutment member is against pipe, then taper becomes for promoting abutment member and manages more consistent and therefore continue to raise instead of block to manage.
With reference to figure 5, in use, control signal is sent to receiver 41 by user interface 40.Then, receiver 41 controls motor makes axle 50 rotate the angle rotation number of degrees of expectation, makes the pipe expected in alignment with on ejector.Once aim at, ejector just operates to be upwardly loaded in the golf clubs in pipe.Therefore make expect golf clubs stretch out in other load golf clubs on and linksman can easily select correct club.Because the position of the button corresponding to golf clubs is fixed relative to user interface, therefore linksman will be familiar with layout rapidly and can operate the button of expectation rapidly.Therefore be different from and search all over multiple club, linksman can correspond to the button of correct club by operation, then selects the club that raises from other clubs and selects correct club.In addition, because the club expected is rotated to precalculated position, therefore linksman knows that club actually will be where.
Once linksman has carried out their batting, club can be turned back to blank pipe 23.Then can default button on operating user interface to make ejector falls downward, therefore allow club to land under gravity to be loaded in pipe.Or, ejector falls downward can be made after specified time interval.This time interval can between 2 to 10 seconds and be preferably about 5 seconds.Therefore, club raises and continues time enough to take out club, but is in when user returns club after carrying out their batting and dips.Thus, user can insert club simply and not need the other button of pressing or take further action.When expecting another club, linksman operates corresponding button.Here, encoder on motor 70 determine expect pipe relative to the pipe aimed at ejector position and make in one direction or another axle rotate needed for angle number, the new club expected is aimed at ejector, and club raise as previously mentioned.
As security feature, the power supply to motor can be cut off when ejector is in raised position.In addition, golf club carrier can be sleeved in shell (not shown).Shell can give the outward appearance of golf club carrier conventional golf bag.Shell can comprise rigidity cover (not shown), and the bar head of golf clubs is loaded in below rigidity cover.Here, rigidity cover has the single hole be positioned on ejector, can take out club by this single hole.Therefore linksman can not close to them except passing hole when club head rotates.As another feature, hole can be openable.Such as, upwards hinged door can be provided.Here, door can manually be raised and reduce to take out and put back to golf clubs.Or door may be biased to closing position.When golf clubs raises, the bar head of golf clubs can push it open against hinged door.Or door can be automatic.Lid can comprise sensor, makes the power being cut to carrier when door is completely not closed.
As supplementary features, golf club carrier can comprise luminaire, such as lamp.Lamp can be turned on when ejector is in raised position.Therefore, ejector may not need to be elevated to by club outside the hole in lid.But make linksman notice correct club by the illumination of lamp to be ready to take out from carrier.Carrier even can not comprise ejector in this case.
In an alternative embodiment, be different from swivelling pipe, golf club carrier can be arranged to rotating missile emitter, and swivelling cover if desired.Here, ejector will be fixed to axle 50 instead of upper segment.In yet another embodiment, golf club carrier is included in the ejector aimed under each pipe.Therefore whirligig is not needed.But the operation of button on user interface makes the corresponding ejector under the pipe expected raise club.
Because all embodiments need golf club carrier with power set, therefore golf club carrier can additionally be suitable for comprising other dynamic characteristics, such as, for the refrigerating chamber of store food or beverage.
With reference to figure 6, show golf club carrier 220.Golf club carrier 220 comprises at least 1 holding part (222,221) for receiving golf clubs 212.Be provided with high unity device.Here, high unity device comprises demountable panel 260.Distachable platform 260 is removably attached to golf club carrier and fixes relative to each holding part (221,222).The hole that distachable platform 260 comprises positioner and aims at each holding part.The size in hole is formed as allowing the shaft of golf clubs to enter, but the bar head of restriction golf clubs passes.Be provided with positioner to be held in place by golf club head.Such as, profile is provided to move relative to demountable panel 260 with the bar head limiting golf clubs.
Advantageously, distachable platform can be printed with advertisement and can be the custom design for specific loop bar.
In addition, high unity device allows all club heads to be positioned at collective height.This allows user more easily to identify the club of expectation.In addition, distachable platform can comprise sight indicator clearly to identify the holding part of specifying.Such as, each holding part can comprise corresponding visual identifier, such as letter or number.Therefore linksman can see larger identifier.And linksman more easily can ensure that club is inserted in correct holding part, keeps club in order thus, simplifies selection course further.
Each positioner is arranged to keep golf clubs according to certain pattern ideally.Should be appreciated that holding part should be arranged in circular path in order to use high unity device to strengthen previous embodiment.Here, profile can make outside golf club head can all be arranged to face.But preferably they are arranged such that their whole sensing centers, reason is that this can increase the compactedness of golf club carrier.
The radial ridges 262 that the both sides that positioner can be included in hole 261 extend, this radial ridges formation club is positioned at paddy wherein.Or positioner can comprise shaping depression or cavity 264, the shape in its pocket or cavity adapts to golf clubs.But importantly, the profile of positioner makes golf clubs 212 have to move to outside holding part so that the axis around holding part rotates relative to the change in elevation of the plane of distachable platform.Therefore the axial-rotation of profile restriction golf clubs, prevents golf from causing the possibility of damage each other thus.In addition, if club does not suitably insert in holding part, then the motion of the golf clubs caused when golf carrier 220 moves makes golf clubs naturally be placed in correct orientation.
Some golf clubs usually separates with other bars of such as push rod and rod to be bought.Thus, in order to allow distachable platform to adapt to each independent linksman, distachable platform can be provided with the region for receiving insert.Here, multiple insert can design for the push rod of each given shape.Insert has pore 261 and positioner.
High unity device can comprise and highly regulates insert.As discussed previously, golf clubs has various height.Therefore, as shown in Figure 8, can from the bottom hung of each holding part compared with the far-end of under club.Here, highly regulate insert to comprise insert 270, this insert is placed in holding part, the far-end of less club can be resisted against and highly regulate on insert 270.This means if be placed in the holding part be specifically designed to compared with under club compared with long ball bar, then bar head will to stretch out on demountable panel and makes linksman notice club and is just being placed in the holding part of mistake.
Highly adjustment insert can by any suitable material manufacture.But if highly regulate insert by the material manufacture allowing the length easily reducing insert, then insert can also allow customization golf carrier.
In order to prevent highly regulating insert to drop out when golf club carrier overturns, be provided with holding device.If distachable platform is positioned such that the space between the bottom of distachable platform and the end of holding part is less than the height of the shortest insert, then distachable platform can comprise holding device.Here, if bag is reversed, insert is so highly regulated to move towards the end of holding part under gravity.By ensureing that hole 261 is less than holding part, so the bottom of distachable platform provides backstop.Or the clip of such as spring clip can be arranged around holding part.Spring clip have be arranged to by the hole in holding part stretch out towards interior pin.Therefore, pin reduces the diameter of holding part, prevents from highly regulating insert to move past.The position in hole can, towards the top of holding part, make it can easily be removed to allow to change highly to regulate insert.When using together with previous embodiment, the minimum range that can open with the bottom interval of holding part of pin position is the height that the most degree of growing tall of the stroke adding ejector regulates insert.
As mentioned above, high unity device can use alone or together can use with the golf club carrier 20 of preceding embodiment.Therefore, because high unity device allows club head to be arranged on common plane relative to golf carrier, and owing to highly regulating insert to allow all clubs to be resisted against haply on insert, therefore ejector can have single length stroke and make golf club head move collective height.Therefore the shortest and most long ball bar can be promoted by identical ejector and eliminate the problem that under club does not stand on (even if in raised position) on comparatively long ball bar.
