Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To makes a golf bag easily movable. SOLUTION: The bottom 20b of a current golf bag 20 is fitted with an auxiliary bottom 10. The auxiliary bottom 10 is provided with wheels 2 on an outside surface 1a of a cylindrical body 1 having the inside dimensions at which bottoms 20b of a group of the current golf bags 20 are made gently insertable. Its inside surface 1b is provided with a leaf spring 3. When the bottom 20b of the current golf bag 20 is fitted to the main body 1, the bottom 20b is grasped between the leaf spring 3 and an inside surface 1b on the main body side facing the same and is fitted with the auxiliary bottom 10. The current golf bag 20 having no wheel is fitted with such auxiliary bottom 10, by which the effect equivalent to that of the case of the golf bag having the wheels 2 at the bottom from the beginning is attained and the easy moving of the golf bag 20 by rolling the wheels is made possible.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an auxiliary bottom mounted on the bottom of a golf bag.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art If all matched sets of wood, iron, and putter are stored in a golf bag, or a club for practice is also stored, the weight is about 10 kg.

[0003] A golf bag is usually provided with a shoulder strap so that it can be easily moved even under such a weight, and the golf bag is carried on a shoulder via the shoulder strap.

[0004] However, it is troublesome to carry around a body having a weight of about 10 kg, and it is troublesome to pass the shoulder through the shoulder strap.

In order to solve such an inconvenience, a golf bag with wheels has been developed which is provided with wheels around the outer surface of the bottom of the body of the golf bag and which can drag and move the golf bag body by the rolling of the wheels. Is out.

[0006]

However, the owner of a golf bag having only a conventional shoulder strap has recently purchased a golf bag. Owners who have a feeling of attachment cannot immediately replace the expensive golf bag with wheels as described above.

It is an object of the present invention to make it easy to carry a conventional golf bag having only such shoulder straps.

[0008]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention relates to an auxiliary bottom mounted on the bottom of a golf bag, which is defined as a "dimensional standard" when the auxiliary bottom is mounted. Wheels are mounted on the outer surface of a cylindrical main body having an "inner dimension" in which the bottom of the "golf bag" can be loosely inserted, and the bottom of the reference golf bag is inserted into the inner side of the main body. When fitted, an elastic member is pushed by the bottom and retracts in a direction intersecting the insertion direction, and after extracting the bottom, an elastic member is provided which protrudes in a direction opposite to the retracting direction. When the bottom is inserted into the main body, the bottom is sandwiched between the elastic member and the inner surface of the main body side facing the elastic member.

If this auxiliary bottom is attached to the bottom of a conventional golf bag without wheels, which is "defined as a dimensional standard" of the auxiliary bottom, the golf bag with wheels on the bottom from the beginning can be used. The same effect is achieved, and the golf bag can be moved by rolling its wheels.

Here, the "golf bag defined as a dimensional standard" means that the auxiliary bottom according to the present invention has several auxiliary diameters due to the elastic member provided on the inner surface of the main body side. It is one of a group of ones having a bottom sized to be detachably mountable to a golf bag at the bottom of a size and one auxiliary bottom of which can be mounted. This is determined at the stage of designing the auxiliary bottom.For example, the intermediate dimension of the several dimensions is set as the "reference", or the maximum and minimum dimensions are set as the "reference". Thus, the size of the group of golf bags (the size of the bottom portion) is determined by the relationship with the holding force of the elastic member.

The “inner dimension” is a dimension indicating the size of the auxiliary bottom inside the cylindrical main body, and is, for example,
If the cross section of the auxiliary bottom is elliptical, it is represented by its perimeter, major axis and minor axis, and if it is circular, it is represented by diameter.

In the above configuration, if a cover that can be opened and closed is sewn to the main body of the auxiliary bottom, mounting the auxiliary bottom on the golf bag means mounting the cover on the golf bag at the same time. If the rain suddenly starts during the play of the game, the setup is good when the cover is attached and the movement is hurried.

[0013]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

(First Embodiment) The auxiliary bottom 10 of this embodiment shown in FIG. 1 has a cylindrical shape having an "inner dimension" in which the bottom of the "reference golf bag" can be loosely inserted. The wheel 2 is attached to the outer surface 1a of the main body 1.

A corrugated leaf spring 3 is provided at substantially three equal positions along the circumferential direction of the side inner surface 1b of the main body 1. Each leaf spring 3 is attached so that the traveling direction of the wave coincides with the depth direction (height direction) of the side of the main body 1 and, as shown in FIG. When the bottoms 20b of several types of golf bags 20 having dimensions within an allowable range, including a golf bag, are respectively inserted, the spring pressure of the leaf spring 3 causes the leaf spring 3 to move between the leaf spring 3 and the opposing side inner surface 1b. The bottom 20b of each golf bag 20 is sandwiched, and the auxiliary bottom 10 is attached to each golf bag 20.

Thus, each golf bag 20 having the permissible inside dimensions is equivalent to a golf bag having a bottom portion provided with wheels from the beginning, and the wheels 2 are rolled as shown in FIG. Because it can be moved, it becomes very easy to move.

(Second Embodiment) The auxiliary bottom 10 of the second embodiment shown in FIG. 4 is a golf club in a form in which it rises from the upper edge 1u of the main body of the wheeled auxiliary bottom 10 of the first embodiment. The cover 4 of the bag is sewn, and the cover 4 is provided with a zipper 4a on the path from the vicinity of the top to the middle of the foot from the vicinity of the top, opposite to the sewn portion. It can be opened and closed freely.

As shown in FIG. 5, when the cover 4 is opened and the conventional bag 20 without wheels is inserted into the bottom of the auxiliary bottom 10 with the cover as shown in FIG. As in the case of the first embodiment, the bottom 2
0b fits into the auxiliary bottom 10 with the wheels 2,
The leaf spring 3 allows the auxiliary bottom 10 to be mounted, and at the same time, the golf bag 20 itself is inside the cover 4, so that as shown in FIG.
Is closed, the cover 4 is completely stored in the cover 4.
When moving, the wheel 2 of the bottom portion 20b is rolled and moved while being stored in the cover 4 in the same manner as shown in FIG.

[0019]

As described above, according to the present invention, an auxiliary bottom with wheels is attached to the bottom of an existing golf bag, so that the auxiliary bag with wheels can be used without purchasing a new golf bag with wheels. The bottom wheel has the effect of making movement easier.

If the cover is sewn to the auxiliary bottom with wheels, if the auxiliary bottom is attached,
At the same time, the cover is attached, and if you look at a conventional golf bag without wheels, during golf play,
When it is necessary to cover and hurry to move, for example, when it rains suddenly, the setup is remarkably good, and the effect of two birds with one stone with ease of movement can be obtained.
