438,747. Golf-bags. LAWRENCE, J. H., Sharsted Works, Sharsted Street, Kennington, London. Aug. 31, 1934, No. 25076. [Class 132 (ii)] In a golf-bag having a rigid mouth ring a, the mouth is divided into three (or more) compartments by two or more rigid bars b hinged at b<2> to the mouth ring and having their free ends b<3> removably attached to the mouth ring by spring clips or otherwise. As shown in Figs. 1, 2, a single length of wire is bent to form the eye hinges b<2>, bars b, spring clips b<3> and a bar b<1> formed with a spring loop b<4> normally engaging a stud c secured to the bag, and facilitating rocking of the bars to the " dotted " position. The leather covering of the mouth ring is omitted at the parts thereof engaged by the eyes b<2>, b<3> to prevent lateral displacement of the latter, but other means may be provided for this purpose, for example, the ring a may be grooved or provided with collars or cheeks to position the eyes b<2> or stops may be arranged on the ring a or on the bagwall to be engaged by the clips b<3>. In a modification, a single length of wire is hinged at its ends b<2>, Fig. 6, to the mouth ring a and bent in the manner shown to form spring clips b<3>. An addition bar b<8> may be attached, for example by welding between bars b<5>, b<6>. The division bars b, b<5>, b<6> may be straight or curved, &c. and covered with rubber or leather y, Fig. 2, or anti-friction rollers z, Fig. 6.
