Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a golf course, and more specifically, at a golf course, a single track is installed at the pitching area of the course where players move, and a person who carries golf equipment such as golfers' clubs, called a caddy, is installed at the golf course. Stay and play golf? He can now enjoy golf by walking around the course with his contents, but all golf courses are struggling with rapidly rising labor costs, and electric carts have been introduced to golf courses as an inexpensive transportation device. However, this type of cart is undesirable because it damages the lawn, and it is also not suitable for golfers. Small carts that can be towed by themselves have also been developed, but they tend to be avoided because they are a burden to golfers.

In view of these circumstances, we decided to run an electric transport vehicle on a single track laid along the course as a transportation device for golf equipment that would not damage the grass and would not be a burden to players.
So-called single track transportation devices have come to be adopted.

This transportation device consists of a single track laid in a circular pattern along one edge of the fairway of each hole, and if necessary, across the fairway, and a self-propelled transport vehicle runs on this single track. This vehicle is loaded with the player's golf equipment and transported, and the vehicle can be stopped at any suitable location to change clubs, take out cigarettes, etc.
Mechanized and unmanned caddies.

With the advent of this transportation device, players were freed from carrying bags and were able to concentrate on hitting the ball and walking around the course. No food was provided for the food.

For example, golf is a walking sport (game), so there is no point in playing golf unless you walk, but walking can be a nuisance for elderly people. For example, even if walking on the fairway is not very difficult, if you have to move to the teeing ground of the next hole after hitting a hole, especially on a golf course in a mountainous area, you may have to walk down a fairly steep slope. There are things you have to do. Golf bags are moved to the next teeing ground by transport vehicle, so if the players are too late, the smooth progress of play will be hindered, and the players themselves will have to hurry to some extent, but older golfers Things can be difficult with Yuiya.

Therefore, this invention attempts to use a transport device for transporting bags so that players with walking difficulties can board the transport vehicle and move to the ball drop point or the teeing ground of the next hole. Another feature of the device is that when it is necessary to walk on a steep slope, the vehicle can be climbed over the slope without any difficulty by boarding a transport vehicle running on a single track.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The structure of the present invention will be described below with reference to embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. First, FIG. 1 is a plan view of a part of a golf course according to the present invention, where reference numeral 1 indicates a teeing ground, a fairway 2 is continuous to this teeing ground 1, and a hole ground 3 is located at the end of the fairway 2. The ball is to be hit into a hole 3a made in the hole ground 3.

The player moves from this hole ground 3 to the teeing ground 11 of the next hole and hits the fairway 12.

Along such a course, a single track 21 for transporting golf bags is laid, and there is a stopping point 22 near the teeing ground 1, and a stopping point 23 at the midpoint of the fairway 2.
There is a parking spot 24 so that the transport vehicle can stop at an automatic parking spot, and a parking spot 24 is also provided near the hall ground 11.

The player moves from the hole ground 3 to the next teeing ground 11 by walking along the sidewalk 4, but if the sidewalk 4 has a steep slope and is in an environment where walking is difficult, the player can walk from the hole ground 3 to the next teeing ground 11. Ground 1
A player rides on a transport vehicle 22 running on a single track 21 leading to 1.

This single track 21 has an arm 21b such as a bolt extending in the groove or on the side of the upper end of a support 21a set up on the ground.
1b is passed through a square pipe 21c and tightened with a nut.

The transport vehicle 31 has wheels 32 that clamp the rectangular pipe 21c of the single track 21 from above and below.
3 is held against a single track, the vehicle body 33 has a bag loading platform 34, and the other side of the vehicle body 33 is provided with a seat 35 on which the player sits.

In addition, a plurality of front single-gauges 21 are laid in the section P where the player can be mounted (Fig. 4), and the player's exclusive vehicle P, which carries only the player, is run in this section, and the player The private vehicle P may be made to return to the starting point of the climbing route.

Furthermore, even if there is a place in the middle of the fairway 2 where the player has to walk up a steep slope, the player can ride on the transport vehicle 31, or use the single track as tvi for that section and use the player's exclusive car. You can run it□.

Since the present invention has the above-described configuration, in places where players are forced to walk up steep slopes, they can board a transport vehicle running on a single track, contributing to efficient movement within the course.
