648,714. Golf-bag carriers. HUTSELL, T. A. March 31, 1948, No. 9114. Convention date, April 15, 1947. [Class 108(i)] A collapsable golf bag carrier comprises a wheeled frame with wheel-supporting outriggers extending transversely to the frame and pivotally connected thereto at their inner ends in order that the outriggers and wheels may be brought into juxtaposition with each other in the position normally occupied by one end of the bag. In the arrangement shown the outriggers 38, 39 are mounted on a channel-shaped member 36 hinged at its upper end 34 to the main frame 10, and secured in position when the carrier is in use by a strut 42 hinged at one end 40 to the member 36, the other end 44 being engaged with a bracket 45 on the frame 10. The handle 26, also of channel section, is hinged at 24 to the frame 10 and is held in the in-use position by a strut 27. A member 18 for holding the top of the golf bag is adjustable for height. To collapse the structure, detents at the inner ends of the outriggers 38, 39 are released to allow the latter to be swung into alignment with the member 36, and the end 44 of the strut 42 is then withdrawn from engagement with the bracket 45, allowing the members 36. 42 to be folded against the frame 10. The outriggers are then slid vertically between the members 36, 42, until a projecting stud 59 on one wheel 54 engages a recess in the other wheel 53, and a similar stud 60 on the wheel 53 enters a hole in a bag-supporting bracket 16 at the base of the frame 10. Upon releasing the strut 27 the handle 26 can be lowered to enclose the members 36, 42, being locked in position by detents 31 which engage holes 94 in the outriggers.
