Definitions

• the invention relates to a transport device for a plurality of golf clubs, which has a receiving part and a carrier attached to the receiving part.
• Such transport devices have been known in many different designs for many years. As a rule, it is a cylindrical body which forms a receiving part and is designed in the form of a quiver. in the
• the golf clubs are accommodated inside the receiving part, with crossbars possibly being attached in the upper region of a so-called golf bag in order to separate the golf clubs from one another in groups so that they can be inserted and removed more easily.
• Either a handle and / or a shoulder strap are attached to the outside of such a cylindrical golf bag in order to be able to transport the golf bag.
• the invention is therefore based on the object of specifying a transport device of the type mentioned at the outset .
• has a low weight can easily be accommodated in a vehicle and nevertheless represents a practical device in which the golf clubs can be sorted.
• the solution according to the invention consists in designing a device of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that the receiving part is designed as a flat support which has longitudinally open, upwardly open receptacles for each golf club, and that the golf clubs lie side by side and separately from one another on the support are recordable.
• the object is achieved in a satisfactory manner with the device according to the invention.
• the golf clubs do not need to be inserted into a cylindrical quiver, so that the handles do not interfere with one another when a golf club is removed.
• the flat support is expediently essentially horizontal, but can also be curved upwards (concave) or curved downwards (convex) so that any moisture can easily drain from the top.
• the receptacles can be trough-shaped or U-shaped on the top of the support. You do not need to extend over the entire length of the receiving part, rather it is sufficient if such recordings extend over part of the flat support or are designed as spaced recordings to keep the rackets sorted and separate from each other. In particular, the receptacles do not need to extend over the entire length of the golf clubs, but only have to take them in sections or at two spaced apart locations in the longitudinal direction of the shafts.
• the receptacles have spacers in the transverse direction of the support, with which the shafts of the golf clubs can be positioned in such a way that the club heads and the club handles of neighboring golf clubs do not impede one another. This allows the golf clubs to be easily removed and reinserted without having to look for a particular club next time because it has got under one or more others.
• the recordings in the top view of the support on the front that is, where the Club heads are located closer together than on the back, that is, in the direction of the usually thicker club handles.
• the overlay therefore has a configuration which is slightly wedge-shaped in plan view and which can also be designed with an appealing design.
