Abstract

PURPOSE: To make a housing case convenient for housing golf outfit and efficient in action of taking out golf clubs during a play, by providing the housing case with a means to keep the clubs into a plurality of rows and a means to expand or reduce the interval between the rows. CONSTITUTION: Three rows F.C.R of protectors are interlinked by a link mechanism 7 provided at both width-wise ends thereof. This link mechanism 7 comprises a master link 8 with the center thereof pivoted on the central row C and a slave links 9a and 9b to link both ends of the master link 8 and to the front row F and the rear row R. The master link 8 is rotated holding an operation lever part 10 protrusively arranged integral from the master link 8 to allow the expanding or reducing the upper ends of the both front and rear rows F and R longitudinally. In playing, there is no interfering between club heads by expanding the front and rear rows F and R of the protectors, thereby enabling the selection of clubs used, taking thereof out of the case or other operations efficiently.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION <Industrial Application Field> The present invention relates to a golf equipment storage case, and more particularly to a golf equipment storage case that has been improved so that golf clubs can be removed efficiently.

<Prior Art> Golf equipment such as golf clubs and balls are generally stored and transported in bags that are generally cylindrical with a bottom. Although this bag may have internal partition walls, it tends to become cluttered during transportation, making it difficult to take out the desired club, or causing damage from club heads colliding with each other. there were.

In order to improve this inconvenience, a pipe-shaped protector is installed inside the bag with a separator at regular intervals, and at the same time a cap is inserted between the opening of the protector and the club head to restrict the movement of the club head. A golf bag designed to be used as a golf bag is disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 60-17764.

<Problems to be Solved by the Invention> However, although the golf bag described above can prevent the inside of the bag from becoming cluttered due to vibrations during transportation, it is difficult to remove the equipment inside the bag during a game. It is hard to say that this is sufficient to improve efficiency.

In view of these shortcomings of the prior art, the main object of the present invention is to provide an improved golf equipment storage case that is convenient for storage and allows efficient removal of clubs during a game. It is about providing.

According to the present invention, the object is to provide a case for storing a plurality of golf clubs, and a means for holding the golf clubs in a plurality of rows. This is achieved by providing a golf equipment storage case characterized by having: and a means for expanding and contracting the spacing between the rows.

〈Function〉 In this way, the club heads can be overlapped during transportation to make it more compact.
In addition, since the club heads can be prevented from interfering with each other during use, it is possible to select and take out clubs efficiently.

<Embodiments> Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 shows the entire golf equipment storage case according to the present invention. This storage case 1 is made of, for example, synthetic resin, and has caster wheels 3 on the bottom of a box-shaped main body 2. By pushing and pulling a handle 4 provided on the top of the main body as appropriate, Efficient movement is possible.

A protector 5 made of pipe material is provided upright inside the main body 1 to receive the shaft portion of each golf club. This protector 5 is constructed by arranging a plurality of rows in parallel in the front and back direction, each of which is constructed by connecting an appropriate number of protectors in the width direction, and in this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. In addition, the center row C and the front row F each have five wires, and the rear row R has three wires. These three protector rows F.
C-R are integrally connected for each column, and the third
As shown in the figure, the center row C is fixed to the bottom of the main body 2, while the front row F and the rear row R are mounted to the bottom of the main body 2 so as to be tiltable in the front and rear directions with their respective lower ends as base points. It is pivotally supported. Further, as for the three golf balls on the rear row R side, accessory storage cases 6 for storing golf balls, tees, etc. are installed between the three golf balls that are adjacent to each other.

The three protector rows FCR are connected to each other by link mechanisms 7 provided at both ends in the width direction. This link mechanism 7 includes a master link 8 whose center is pivotally supported by a center row C, and both ends of the master link 8 and a front row F and a rear row R.
A part of the operation lever 10 integrally protrudes from the mask link 8.
By rotating the master link 8 with the
The upper ends of both the front and rear rows F-H can be expanded and contracted in the front-rear direction between the position shown by the solid line and the position shown by the imaginary line in the figure.

Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be explained.

As mentioned above, the protectors 5 in the front and rear rows F-H are expandable and retractable with respect to the center row C, and when they are contracted, the club head portions that are adjacent to each other in the front and rear overlap, and a case cover (not shown) is provided separately. By covering the upper part of the storage case main body 2 with the lid, it can be transported in a compact form.

During competitions, if you expand the front and rear protector rows F-R,
As shown in FIG. 1, the club heads do not interfere with each other, and the club to be used can be selected and taken out from the case efficiently.

FIG. 4 shows a modified embodiment of the invention. In this embodiment, a connecting member 11 integrally formed of synthetic resin or the like is provided to connect the upper ends of each protector 5 in each row.

Openings 12 are formed in the upper surface of the connecting member 11 to communicate with the inner surface of the protector 5, respectively.

A notch 13 is recessed forward from the opening 12, and by engaging the club head with this notch 13, the club head is prevented from swinging excessively.

The connecting member 11 not only rigidly connects the protectors adjacent to each other, but also improves the efficiency when inserting the club into the protector 5 by expanding the inner surface of the opening 12 into a funnel shape, for example. In addition, the notch 13 allows the club head to be aligned and fit better within the case, which is extremely effective in improving the usability of the device of the present invention.

Although the above embodiment is configured as a carrying case with casters, the present invention is not limited to this and can be incorporated into a cart for a player to ride, or can be configured like a normal golf bag. It can be implemented in variations.

Furthermore, when the front and rear protector rows F-R are contracted, a space S is formed between the front row F and the rear row R and the inner wall of the lower part of the case body (Fig. 3). By providing a flexible lid, this space S can also be used as a storage for other items such as shoes and gloves.

Furthermore, the protector is not necessarily limited to the pipe-shaped protector described above, as long as it can be divided into a plurality of rows with an appropriate number of protectors.

<Effects of the Invention> As described above, according to the present invention, the storage efficiency is improved by overlapping the club heads during storage, and the selection and removal of clubs is made more efficient by expanding the upper part of the protector during competition. It becomes possible to do so. Therefore, it is extremely effective in improving the usability of the golf equipment storage case.
