Based on the above structural configuration, the actual operation and application of the tiltable and upright stable golf bag provided by the present invention are as follows: the golf bag 1 can be converted between a folded state and an unfolded state. Please refer to Figure 6. The folded state usually refers to the state of the golf bag 1 before or after use. When the golf bag 1 is in the folded state, the first limiting member 13 is located at the third end of the second limiting member 34 341; the second connecting member 12 is located at the first position; the barrel member 30 is located at the third position; and the bipod 42 is located at the fifth position. At this time, the first bottom surface 111 of the first connecting member 11 and the second bottom surface 121 of the second connecting member 12 are parallel and contact the ground at the same time, and the barrel member 30 is perpendicular to the first connection of the base 10 The component 11 and the second connecting component 12 make the golf bag 1 stand vertically on the ground.

When a user wants to access the golf clubs in the golf bag 1, the golf bag 1 can be converted from the folded state to the unfolded state. At this time, the bipod 42 can be operated to move from the fifth position to the sixth position until the connecting rod 43 positions the bipod 42 at the sixth position. Next, the barrel 30 is operated to move from the third position to the fourth position. Since the barrel 30 is connected to the second connecting member 12 as a linkage mechanism, the second connecting member 12 will synchronously move from the first position to the fourth position. The position moves to the second position, and the first limiting member 13 will move in the direction of the fourth end 342 along the third end 341 of the second limiting member 34 until the golf bag 1 is converted into the expanded state.

Please refer to Figure 7, when the golf bag 1 is in the unfolded state, the first limiting member 13 abuts the fourth end 342 of the second limiting member 34; the second connecting member 12 It is located in the second position and tilted at the predetermined angle relative to the first connecting member 11 so that the second bottom surface 121 is lifted off the ground; the tube 30 is located in the fourth position; and the bipod 42 is located in the sixth position. In the unfolded state, the golf bag 1 is in an inclined state so that the user can conveniently take the golf clubs installed in the barrel 30 . The first bottom surface 111 of the first connecting member 11 and the bottom surface of the bipod 42 are in contact with the ground, so that the golf bag 1 forms a triangular tilted structure with stable support. Compared with conventional golf bags that only rely on the edge of the bag to support the ground when tilted, the first bottom surface 111 of the first connecting member 11 of the present invention has a larger contact area with the ground, which can relatively improve the The base 10 provides support to the golf bag 1 . At the same time, the two wheels 20 do not contact the ground and will not affect the stability of the support. On the other hand, through The connecting rod 43 and the two elastic members 50 can position the bipod 42 in the sixth position so that it will not cause the golf bag 1 to tip over due to excessive expansion.

Please refer to Figure 8. When the user has finished exercising and wants to move to other places, he can operate the bipod 42 to return to the fifth position from the sixth position. At the same time, under the action of the elastic force of the elastic member 50 The barrel 30 can be stably returned from the inclined fourth position to the upright third position, and the second connecting member 12 can also be synchronously returned to the first position from the second position. In this way, the golf bag 1 can be converted from the unfolded state to the collapsed state. Then, when the bipod 42 is in the fifth position, the barrel 30 is operated to move from the third position to the fourth position, so that the first bottom surface of the first connecting member 11 of the base 10 can be 111 and the second bottom surface 121 of the second connecting member 12 leave the ground, and the two wheels 20 contact the ground, so that the golf bag 1 is converted into a moving state. At this time, the telescopic tube 35 of the tube member 30 is pulled out, and the user can hold a handle 350 on the telescopic tube 35 to drag the golf bag 1 to move.

In summary, the golf bag provided by the present invention is tiltable and can return to an upright and stable position. Through the design of the first connecting member 11 and the second connecting member 12 of the base 10 to be relatively tilted, the golf bag can be tilted. When the bag 1 is in the unfolded state, the base 10 has a large contact area with the ground, and the two wheels 20 will not contact the ground, which improves the support and stability of the base 10; in addition, the first limiting member 13 The limiting structure formed by the combination of the connecting rod 43 and the elastic member 50 also helps to improve the stability and convenience of the tripod member 40 when unfolding and folding. Overall, the stability of the golf bag 1 when tilted can be effectively improved.

In addition, when the tiltable and upright stable golf bag provided by the present invention returns from tilting to an upright state, the elastic member 50 acts between the first limiting member 13 and the connecting rod 43 The elasticity can easily return the golf bag 1 to an upright and stable state.
