Description

GOLF CANE BAG WITH SYNTHETIC INSERTED DIVIDER OF COMPLETE LENGTH Field of the Invention The present invention relates to the field of sports articles and equipment. More specifically, the present invention relates to embodiments of a golf club bag and a method for making it subdivide the central containment area of the golf club bag into individual compartments that extend along the full length of golf clubs. the bag of golf clubs, and which provides a series of internal portions that fit into a common external portion. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Conventional golf club bags have a central container volume in the form of an elongated cylindrical space. Typically the top or entry of the golf club bag can be reinforced with structures that tend to divide only the input of the contained volume. Although the subdivision of only the entry of the golf club bag helps to protect the club heads to some degree, the rods of the clubs within the bag are free to hit and scrape each other. In addition, the extent of subdivision of the entrance space of the golf club bag is typically limited to three to six openings. This number does not provide an even separation of the canes, which must be stored at least two canes per opening. The subdivision structure of openings also tends to have thick dividing members, which restrict the entry opening to the golf club bag. Consequently, a greater number of small subdivided spaces equals a smaller overall opening space in the golf club bag. Many bags of golf clubs of the prior art have attempted to divide the space of the bag. For example, U.S. Patent No. 5,392,907 to Blanchard et al. And entitled "Golf Club Separating Insert" describes a series of hexagonal tubes forming a honeycomb pattern and enclosed in a golf bag. U.S. Patent No. 4,172,484 to Luther T. Henning, and entitled "Golf Bag" describes another variation of the honeycomb pattern that results in a hexagonal shaped golf bag. U.S. Patent No. 5,255,781 to Dulyea, Sr., entitled "Club Organizer for Golf Bags", describes a continuous rigid star-shaped insert having a pinched configuration, and that uses connector inserts to hold the pinched configuration. U.S. Patent No. 5,279,414 to Brasher, entitled "Golf Club Bag with Club Compartments", describes a square golf bag having a central tube attached to it. Place by a series of compartments at angles adapted to transport the golf clubs with the handles in the upper position. United States Patent No. 5,226,533 to Antonious entitled "Golf Club Holder Insert for a Golf Bag", describes a central tuned pipe inserted into a golf bag and where the center tube is larger than the edge of the golf club. These structures also describe a rigid, heavy solution to the problem of subdividing the space within a golf bag. The method to join the dividers is only added to the weight. A pair of golf bags built at the turn of the century describe full-length dividers. British Patent No. GB-02-1911 described a first embodiment having a cross section divided into pie-shaped chambers. A second embodiment described a length of material accommodated in a spiral that formed a series of upwardly directed bowl-shaped spaces (viewed from the transverse direction) used to individually support the golf clubs. Leather unions close the bottoms of the formed bags, and a central rod is used to keep the bag together. In the Patent of the United States of North America No. 1,798,638 of J.O. Stone and entitled "Golf Club Holder" (Support of golf clubs) are sewn together a series of strips of material with local seams of alternating width so that when a set of opposite corners are separated and secured to the inner side of the golf bag, a 9 x 9 matrix is formed. A simpler model that illustrates a matrix of 7 units is also shown. The problem with these designs includes their weight, and in the case of Stone, the need to vertically anchor the expanded matrix along the length of the golf bag. Further, when the bottom of a series of individual spaces is closed or pinched, there may be a tendency to abrade the end of the golf club handle or to easily destroy the bottom and adjacent side edges of the individual chamber. A bag that has been on the market has enabled a subdivision of spaces of a golf bag from the entrance to the bottom. This bag has been originally commercially available from Cal Malibu, Inc. and sold under the trademark CROSPETE®. The pattern includes side pockets of loop, defined the central space by the external portion of the side pockets and also subdivided by an "X" divider. The upper 5 or 8 centimeters of the subdivided space are rigid, giving rise to soft material that extends towards the bottom of the golf bag. Each space formed inside the CROSPETE® bag is individual, extending all the way to the bottom of the bag. The CROSPETE® bag has 10 small storage spaces around the inner periphery of the bag in combination with four central storage spaces created by the "X" shaped divider that divides the remaining space. The advantages of providing individual spaces include the conservation of golf clubs. The even dispersion of the spaces within the golf bag prevents the canes from bunching up on one side of the bag or on the other. For golfers who carry their bags, avoiding stacking can help the golfer in transporting the bag. Consequently it is important to avoid stacking the canes, and stabilize them inside the golf bag. It is preferable that they stabilize around the periphery of the golf bag, but a given golf bag diameter has a limited peripheral space in which to store the poles. What is needed is a bag that allows separate storage spaces for the canes and enables the distribution of the canes in a pattern around the periphery of the bag space. The necessary design should provide some give and take between the individual spaces and should protect the asidor ends as much as possible. The necessary design should allow a better control of the individual compartments, and avoid some of the irregular space that arises due to the "looping" of the material around the inner periphery of the golf bag. The area available for storage of the cane should be subdivided to equalize the available areas for storage of canes, without occupying the available area at the upper end of the bag. Even more important, the design should adjust the pounding of the golf clubs inside the bag without noticeable wear of the dividers or the stick end of the club, and without a loud sound. The removal of the poles should not cause any golf clubs to bend or become tangled. The layout should provide a compromise between the limited inner perimeter of a golf bag and the advantages of the peripheral distribution of the poles within the golf bag. The necessary golf bag should be easy to build. The construction of the necessary golf bag should be proper for a process that consistently produces a uniform product of high quality.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The golf bag of the present invention is formed of an outer portion that includes a plurality of lockable compartments as is typical of golf bags for the storage of golf accessories. Nevertheless, an inner portion having a golf club storage configuration is provided which helps circumferentially distribute the load of the weight of the canes around the inner periphery of the golf bag. The storage area has different shapes that are incorporated to provide stability to the golf bag, protect the poles, and make the golf bag easier to use and transport. The golf clubs can be loaded in storage spaces around the periphery of the inner portion. The inner portion is made of a material stitched along the axial length of the inner portion and supported by a stiffer tubular exterior. The rigid tubular exterior is sewn to the inside of soft cloth at one end to increase the support and separation of the interior of soft fabric, providing an anchoring pull of the interior of the soft fabric and its associated divider assembly. In one embodiment, the lower edge of the soft cloth interior is embedded 2.54 centimeters above the base of the rigid tubular exterior to provide adequate space for a central cushion bearing carrier in the pass of the outer portion. In another embodiment, a plastic cover is provided which is sewn to the softer material and which can be provided with a rubber bearing inside. Several modalities are shown, and their variants, which work to distribute the separation of the canes. By keeping the volume of the canes (or accessories) in a position where they do not move significantly around and do not slide through the middle axis of the bag, the fully loaded golf bag will be less apt to lose balance and will be more enabled to maintain a stable equilibrium. A first embodiment is formed by joining each of four lengths of material having a "V" shaped cross section, from a point on an inner portion, to a square core, and then to another point on the inner portion. A second set of material lengths joins at the midpoint of the "V" towards the outer periphery of the inner portion. A second modality is subdividing the nucleus in half. In a third embodiment, the storage area is in the form of a six-pointed star and provides six separate storage spaces between the six-pointed star and an outer cover of the inner portion and six separate storage spaces in the top of the Six-pointed star, and a storage space in the center of the star. A fourth mode is formed by providing a divisor that subdivides the nucleus in half. The fifth mode is achieved by using a hexagonal core and attaching angled sections to the core to form a six-pointed star shape. A sixth modality is formed by subdividing the nucleus of the third modality in half. A seventh modality is centered around a centrally located right-angled divider and having individual curved sections of material added to the angular space between the right-angled sections of the cross divider. These added sections have sufficient material and are stitched along a sufficient amount of the cross divider to form a curve of relatively smaller diameter about half way to the center point of the cross divider. In an eighth embodiment, two individual portions of additional compartments are added to each angular space between the right angle sections of the cross divider.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT The description and operation of the invention will be better described with reference to Figure 1. Figure 1 is an enlarged view of the golf bag 21 of the present invention which generally includes an outer portion 23 and a inner portion 25. The housing of the golf bag or outer portion 23 is a cover that can be formed in a conventional manner. The outer portion 23 has several compartments 27, as well as a conveyor belt 29. The compartments 27 are typically resealable as by zip fasteners, snaps, and the like. The compartments 27 are typically used to carry extra towels, golf balls and tis. The outer portion 23 may also have a base 31 which may have structures to protect the bag 21 when placed on the ground. The inner portion 25 includes a relatively rigid outer cover portion 33 that includes a vertical length of seam 35 to form the cover portion 33 within a cylinder. The seam 35 is shown in dotted line format, like all seams in the drawings whether they are identified by a number or not. The dotted lines indicate seams, especially in the schematic drawings of Figures 9, 14, 19 and 22. The upper part of the portion 25 includes a thickened edge 37 and a top shape that can be interengaged with the outer portion 23 of the bag Golf. The inner portion 25 is configured to fit within the outer portion 23 and can be held therein by a combination of glue or a strap from the outer portion 23 which secures the inner portion 25. A bearing is also shown in Figure 1. of rubber 39 which is inserted into the outer portion 23 before the inner portion 25 is inserted. The rubber bearing 39 protects the ends of the handles of the golf clubs and is arranged to cushion and keep the poles of golf when they are placed in the golf bag. Referring to Figure 2, a view taken along line 2-2 of Figure 1 illustrates the overall configuration of the first embodiment of the golf bag 21. The inner portion 25 of the first embodiment has a central area rectangular and a series of material lengths that form dividers that extend virtually the entire length of the inner portion 25. As will be shown, some space may be left to accommodate a foam or rubber bearing that can be mounted on the base of the outer portion 23 of the golf bag 21. Limiting the extension to which the interior dividers which form the divider assembly 40, extend in the downward direction, will cause an accommodation of the high-height rubber bearing 39.

The dividers of Figure 2 have a pattern which was based on the stitched construction thereof. The central rectangle was made of a length of the material 41. Each set of additional dividers were made from a single length of the material 43 extending from a connection to the outer periphery, to a connection with the rectangular length of the material 41, to a connection to the outer periphery. In addition, the center of each length of material 43 is also connected to the outer periphery of the dividing structure by a single length of material 45. Note that some of the connection points have a series of end segments extending from the junctions in angles representing acute deviations of the adjacent material. These end segments are used to assist in sewing the material lengths 41, 43, and 45 together and with the periphery of the inner portion 25. Since the fabric material does not form a good bond based on point contact, the end segments help to hold the materials better in a stitched way. Although not shown explicitly in Figure 2, a thin length of the material surrounds and connects immediately to the lengths of the material 41, 43, and 45 formed within the splitter pattern shown in Figure 2. Details of the construction will be shown beginning with Figure 3. Figure 3 illustrates a length of material 43. The length of material 43 is shown although any of the material lengths 41 and 45 could be shown as equivalent with for the purpose of the illustrated reinforcement material. The lengths of the material 41, 43, and 45 differ only in their width. A small piece of reinforcing material 47 is sewn at the upper end of the length of the material 43 using a pair of stitches 49. The reinforcing material 47 may be felt or corduroy. The purpose of the reinforcement material 47 is twofold. First, it provides some reinforcement stiffness and influence at the top of the divisor group. Second, it can provide a finishing coat that will give it an improved appearance. Referring to Figure 4, there is shown an enlarged perspective view of the end portions of the divider formed by the material lengths 41, 43, and 45. Ideally, the material lengths 43 and 45 will be sewn with an edge of the rectangular material 41 at a time. As the fourth set of material lengths 43 and 45 are joined to the rectangular length of material 41, the rectangular length of material 41 can be closed simultaneously. Referring to Figure 5, the formation of a collar 51 is shown. The collar 51 is made of three layers of material. These materials have an expansion area, although the term length will be used for simplification. As can be seen in the Figures, the expansion area must be sufficient to cover the inside and outside of the structures of the golf bag 21 with which the material is associated. A well-finished material, rubberized on the reverse 53 is stitched and arranged to fold over the joining line of the three materials to form a smooth, attractive edge. A second length of material 55 is made of relatively thin, relatively rigid material, such as polyvinyl chloride. This material will stand to be sewn to the dividing structures previously shown in Figures 1-4. Between the material bonded by the back 53 and the second internal length of the material 55 is a length of the material accommodating the ring 57. As can be seen, the material rubberized by the back 53 is oriented so that the rubberized side faces and is attached to the material forming the ring 57. This allows the material rubberized by the reverse 53 to be carried up and around the seam where it joins the materials 55 and 57 and down along the side of the material inside 55. to expose the finished surface and to completely hide the rubberized back. The length of the material accommodating the ring 57 has a smooth groove along its length which will accommodate a ring welded between the material accommodating the ring 57 and the second length of the material 55. It is preferable that a thin length of cover material 61 in the dividing structure at the same time in which the collar 51 is formed, and also while the splitter assembly is formed. The upper edge of the thin length of the cover material 61 is preferably captured between the second length of the material 55 on its outer side and the material bonded on the back as it extends downwardly along the inner surface of the collar 51. This sewing step could be facilitated by using a shape or other structure to hold the layers together during sewing. A pair of stitches 62 surrounds the second length of material 55 and can extend through a portion of the thin length of cover material 61. In some cases only a limited extension of the upper edge of the thin length of the cover material 61 needs to be captured between the second length of the material 55 and the rubberized material on the back 53, to facilitate this sewing procedure. Optionally, reinforcement material 47 can be used along the upper length of the thin length of cover material 61 where additional reinforcement and stiffness is needed. However, the reinforcing material 47 would preferably be somewhat thinner in order to avoid improper packing of the upper end of the dividing assembly 40. The thin length of the covering material 61 may be preferably made slightly longer than the lengths of the material 41 , 43, and 45. At the upper end, this would allow more of this to be trapped in the layers forming the collar 51. At the lower end of the divider assembly 40, this allows the end of the material lengths 41, 43 , and 45 are embedded with respect to the thin length of the cover material 61. This accomplishes several important functions. First, it allows additional seam of 2.54 inches in length of cover material 61 extending beyond the end of the material lengths 41, 43, and 45 to form the dividing structure. Second provides a space for the rubber bearing 39 which can be attached to the bottom of the outer portion 23. Third, the space will exceed the height of the rubber bearing 39 and thus will provide more space between the materials 41, 43, and 45 and the rubber bearing 39 so that the ends of the poles of the golf clubs will not continuously rub the lower edge of the materials 41, 43 and 45 with their edges. This will contribute to a longer life for the divider as well as preventing the lugs from rubbing against the dividing material. Referring to Figure 6, the length of the material 61 is joined to one another by an elongate spread 63, while the collar 51 is joined by a short tie stitch 65. The ring 67 is also shown in place to move about the length of the material 61 and away from the second length of the material 55, but within the length of the material accommodating the ring 57 of the collar 51. The ring 67 typically is approximately 0.635 centimeters in diameter and may have welded ends instead of being formed by a single length of material. The ring 67 rests against the second length of the material 55 and within the groove in the softer length of the material accommodating the ring 57. The groove allows the ring 67 to be retained in place, especially once the inner portion 25 is it takes to rest inside the outer portion 23, to create clamping forces on the upper part of the inner portion 25. Once the structure shown in Figure 6 is formed, it has no rigid cover portion 33 as shown in FIG. Figure 1. The rigid cover portion 33 should preferably be made of a relatively thin layer of polyvinyl chloride. A length of this material is easily made into a cylinder by the use of an elongated stitch 35. The volume of material lengths 41, 43, and 45 that form the partition structure below the collar 51 slides within the cover portion 33. Ideally the diameter of the cover portion 33 coincides in some way with the diameter of the second length of the material 55 so that neither will "jam" in the other. The cover portion 33 is attached to the thin length of the cover material 61 adjacent the bottom edge of the material 61., the cover portion 33 may rotate approximately 0.635 centimeters or less against the second length of the material 55. Also shown in Figure 7 is a perspective view of the bottom of the inner portion 25 showing how the bottom of the partition assembly 40 is joined. to the rigid cover portion 33. A single lower stitch 68 surrounds the lower periphery of the inner portion 25 attaching the thin length of the cover material 61 to the rigid cover portion 33. In this manner, the rigid cover portion 33 tends to widen the thin length of the cover material 61, which in turn stabilizes the material lengths 41, 43, and 45, to stabilize the space and orientation of the partition assembly 40. The resulting structure allows the only connection which will have the collar 51 with the rigid cover portion 33 through the thin length of the cover material 61. The fact that the cover portion is rigid to 33 the lower edge of the collar 51 will be sufficient to maintain the structure of the dividing assembly 40 in contact. Preferably, the vertical seam 35 does not connect the rigid cover portion 33 with the materials 41, 43, and 45 forming the partition structure. Figure 8 illustrates an alternative embodiment for the exterior of any of the interior portions 25 shown with respect to the present invention. In this embodiment, the rigid cover portion 33 is not added and the exterior of the partition assembly 40 will be formed by the thin length of cover material 61. This view also fully illustrates the vertical seam 69 which joins the thin length of the cover material. 61 with the material lengths 43 and 45. As can be seen, this connection will allow the interior materials 41, 43 and 45 to be maintained in their proper form once the thin length of cover material 61 is pulled down and in its place by the rigid cover portion 33 shown in Figure 7. However, for Figure 8, a flat length of material 71 is attached to the thin length of the cover material 61. The method of joining is by a circular seam. 73 that fits the lower edge of the thin length of the cover material 61 as it widens outwardly parallel to the flat length of the material 71. The tension or anchoring downward necessary to maintain the dividing assembly 40 in an oriented position it can be obtained through a sail material patch 75 which can be one of area like hook and material like felt to fit with another material like hook or felt which would be in its place at the bottom of the outer portion 23. Both pieces of material 75 would preferably be fitted with adhesive, although they may be sewn to the flat length of the material 71. As the golf clubs continue to be loaded into the finished golf bag 21, the material 71 will become even more tight and will further stabilize the dividing assembly 40. Figure 9 illustrates an elevated view of how the material lengths 41, 43, and 45 are cut, sewn partially or fully folded and joined together. The dotted lines between each set they illustrate the starting points for the vertical jointer of the two relative lengths of the material. Figure 9 is a guide to how the material is cut and the relationships between the individual lengths of the material 41, 43, and 45. Referring to Figure 10, a view similar to that shown in Figure 4 is illustrated, but partially finished Also, there is the addition of an extra length of material which will form a central divider 79. The central divider 79 subdivides the central space within the rectangular length of the material 41 into two triangular-shaped spaces to form the second mode or partition. Thus, without the central divider 79, the resulting golf bag 21 will have 13 individual compartments, while with the central divider 79 the golf bag will have 14 individual compartments. Note that for both the 13 and 14 compartment versions, what is the spacing and what are the individual compartments provided. Referring to Figure 12, a third mode of partition 83 is made with a structure in the form of a six-pointed star, including its outer circle which is now known to be formed on the finished side of the rubberized material at the rear 53. The dividing assembly 83, is formed by an inner hexagonal portion 85, and an outer angled portion 87, surrounding the internal hexagonal portion 85. The construction of the partition assembly 83 may differ from the construction method shown for the partition assemblies 40 and 81 of the first embodiment. Where the first two embodiments have some additional material to facilitate stitching, the third and possibly fourth modes may be sewn in a continuous manner. Figure 13 illustrates an extreme perspective view of the end segments that are joined together to form the dividing system shown in Figure 12. Note that it is the differences between the two lengths of the material that the shape allows. Again, the inner hexagonal portion 85 and the outer angled portion 87 will carry reinforcement material at the upper edge, as shown in Figure 3. Figure 13 illustrates the formation using only two lengths of material. The thin length of the cover material 61 used in the first two embodiments will be joined to the embodiment of Figure 13 in an identical pattern. Although the pattern shown is represented by the two forms in their final form which is shown in the amplified view from each, the sewing operation includes sequentially forming one joint at a time. Since both the internal hexagonal portion 85 and the external angle portion 87 will preferably be made of soft thin material, such as materials 41, 43, and 45, during forming, the material will assume a fairly flaccid overall shape. Also shown in Figure 13 is the presence of the reinforcing material 47. The reinforcing material 47 is easy to join since it can be made once for only two pieces of material. Furthermore, it is possible to join the thin length of the cover material 61 while the hexagonal inner portion 85 and the outer angled portion 87 are joining. By forming the dividing assembly 83 in this manner, normal stitching can be made to only two pieces of material per joining operation with the exception of the stitches that close either the inner hexagonal portion 85 or the thin length of the cover material 61. As an alternative to all modalities, both the internal hexagonal portion 85 and the angled portion 87 can be made using semi-rigid materials and the like. Of course, where very thin materials will be used, the star shape at the top of the divider assembly 73 may result in looser internal organization. However, as will be shown, where an outer layer such as the thin length of the cover material 61 is attached to the rigid cover portion 33 identically to that of the first and second embodiments, the star shape will be sufficiently maintained. along the depth of the divider. Figure 14 illustrates a schematic elevation view of how the inner hexagonal portion 85 and the outer angled portion 87 are joined together with the thin length of cover material 61 to form the embodiment of Figures 12 and 13. Figure 15 illustrates a fourth embodiment formed by adding an additional length of material, or central divider 89, to form the partition assembly 91. Without the divider 89, the divider assembly 83 defines 13 individual compartments. With the central divider 89, the dividing assembly 91 defines 14 individual compartments. Figure 16 illustrates the formation of a partition 91 using only three lengths of material. The thin length of cover material 61 used in the first two modalities will be joined to the embodiment of Figure 16 in the same pattern. Although the pattern shown is represented by three forms in its final form shown in amplified view apart from each other, the sewing operation includes the sequential formation of a joint or connection at a time. Typically the connections related to the central divider 89 will be formed such that a connection will first be formed with a corner of the inner hexagonal portion 85 and the connection will be made after two other corners of the inner hexagonal portion 85 are formed. With this method, the central divider will not add significantly to the number of sewing steps, although it will triple the thickness of the connection where it is connected. Again the presence of reinforcement material 47 is shown in Figure 16. Reinforcement material 47 is again easier to join as it must now be done once for only three pieces of material. It is also still possible to join the thin length of the cover material 61 while the internal hexagonal portion 85, the central divider 89 and the outer angled portion 87 are joining. Figure 17 illustrates a seventh golf bag day embodiment of the present invention in the form of a right angle cross that provides space for curved pockets disposed outwardly. This partition assembly 95 includes a first main divider 97 and a second main divider 99. Several portions of individual compartments 101 are distributed between the ends of the first and second main dividers 97 and 99. Since an equal number of individual compartment portions 101 are distributed between the ends of the first and second major divisors 97 and 99, right angles are formed at the center of the dividing assembly 95. As can be seen in Figure 18, the first and second major divisors 97 and 99 are joined to their lines respective means for forming each a right angle with itself and also a right angle with respect to the space between the first and second major divisors 97 and 99, respectively. The individual compartment portions 101 are not only allowed to assume a free form, but they are joined to one another and to the main divider 97 or 99. The joiner of the individual compartment portions 101, as well as the specification of the width of the widths of the individual compartment portion that will be used for a given diameter of the dividing assembly 95, will determine the relative distribution of the area available for storage. Each compartment portion 101 is disposed circumferentially outward and defines an exterior compartment space 103 in its outwardly projecting area, and defines an interior compartment space 105 between directly adjacent compartment portions 101 and one or both of the first and second dividers main 97 and 99. Thus, the adjacent compartment spaces 103 and the interior compartment spaces 105 have areas of approximately similar magnitude. In addition, portions of adjacent compartments 101 to be joined only need to be joined with the sets of stitches 107 shown, to control the shape and curvature of the resulting compartment space 105 and the space within the outer compartment spaces 103. At the junctions of the individual compartment portions 101 there are small end portions 108, similar to the end portions shown in the preceding Figures, which help to secure the partition assembly 95 to the collar 51, as shown for the first embodiment. Referring to Figure 18, an extreme perspective view of the end segments is shown during forming to make the partition assembly 95. They are in a position to be joined together to form the partition system 95 shown in Figure 17. The material reinforcement 47 has been removed from Figure 20 for clarity of the illustration. Normally, all embodiments of the inner portion 25 will be expected to have these portions of reinforcing material 47 at the ends unless the construction material is otherwise thick or durable enough to withstand an accidental push from the end of a stick. of golf. Alternatively the upper portions of the material 41, 43, 45, 85, 87, and 89 can be folded on themselves and stitched with stitches 49 to provide a reinforcing thickness. An insert may be incorporated where desired to further stiffen the top edges of any of the embodiments of the invention. The process for constructing the inner portion 25 of Figures 17 and 18 can best be accomplished by first joining the first and second major divisors 97 and 99 at their center points. Then, pairs of portions of individual compartments 101 can be sewn together, remembering to leave small end portions 108 to allow portions of individual compartments 101 to better secure to the inside of collar 51. Then, pairs of formed assemblies are joined together. of portions of compartments 101 on either side of one of the projections of one of the first and second major dividers 97 and 99. The first operation of joining pairs of individual compartment portions 101 includes four steps. The second operation of joining pairs of the first and second major divisors 97 and 99 also includes four steps. Both steps include sewing the applicable materials all along its length. After these steps are carried out, all that remains is to join the resulting structure to the collar 51 while adding to the thin length of the cover material 61. Figure 19 is a schematic view of. the lengths of the material and its seams that join together to make the embodiment of Figures 17 and 18. This embodiment includes the use of several pieces, but the fact that the individual compartment portions 101 are exactly the same saves time and improves accuracy and the quality of the product formed. Figure 20 is a view similar to that of Figures 17 through 19, but with the addition of two additional lengths of the material to form a pair of additional compartment portions 109. Since the additional compartment portions 109 make the resulting total number of compartment portions 101 and 109 are unevenly divided around the periphery of the resulting partition set 111 of the eighth embodiment, the first and second major divisors 97 and 99 will not be found at right angles. Where the partition assembly 95 contained 12 individual compartments, including the outer compartment spaces 103 and the interior compartment spaces 105, the partition assembly 109 contains 14 of these individual compartments. Since the dividing set 109 will probably exist within the same total outer diameter as that of the dividing set 95, the compartments are proportionally smaller. A set of four internal compartment spaces 105 includes two that are larger and two that are smaller. A set of ten portions of external compartments 101 and 109 are presumably of equal size thus causing uneven division of the space between the pairs of spaces of internal compartments 111. Alternatively, the angles of the first and second major divisors 97 and 99 could remain in the ratio of right angles of Figure 18 while the sizes of the individual outer compartment spaces formed by portions 101 and 109 could be allowed to vary. Figure 21 illustrates a perspective end view of the first and second major dividers and the adjacent compartment portions 101 in a position to be joined together to form the dividing system shown in Figure 23. Again, the reinforcement 47, solely for convenience and illustrative clarity. It is understood that the widths of the portions of adjacent compartments 101 and 109 can be altered to change the overall function of the configuration shown in Figure 20. The widths of the compartment portions 101 and 109 and the location of the seam 107 could be adjust to give any configurational mixture to the dividing assembly 101. Figure 22 is a schematic view of the individual material lengths, including the individual compartment portions 101, 109 and first and second major divisors 97 and 99 used to form the dividing assembly 111. As can be seen, each of the divisor assemblies 40, 71, 73, 81, 95 and 111 can fit into a common outer portion 23. Thus, the divider assemblies 40, 71, 73, 81, 95 and 109 can be used with the outer portions 23 of different configurations, colors and types to allow additional adaptation, according to the customer, of the golf bag 21 without having to restrict itself to a complete golf bag configuration. Although the present invention has been described in terms of a golf bag, and in terms of various embodiments of inner portions to be inserted into an outer portion of a golf bag, as well as the method of construction of the inner portions, the person skilled in the art will realize that the structure and techniques of the present invention can be applied to many articles. The present invention can be applied in any situation where compartments are going to be created that will circumferentially balance the load resulting from the placement of the objects in the compartments. Although the invention has been derived with reference to particular illustrative embodiments thereof, many changes or modifications of the invention may be apparent without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Therefore, included with the patent guaranteed therein are all the changes and modifications that can reasonably and adequately be included within the scope of this contribution to the art.
