SUPPORT FOR ooLF-Blies.-
Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed February'Zl, 1914. Serial No. 820,136.
To all-whom it may concern Be it known that I, JULIE Lnononn IRWIN, of Merchantville, in the county of Camden andSt-ate of New Jersey, have invented certam new and useful Improvements in Supports for Golf-Bags, whereof the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.
The purpose of my invention is to provide a means for supporting a golf bag, so that it may stand alone in a substantially upright position, and the features of improve ment relate to an organlzation which can be readily attached to, and detached from, an
ordinary golf bag; which is simple and economical in construction; which, when used, does not mar the turf; and which comprises means for automatically returning the support to its inoperative position, when the bag is picked up to be carried.
lln the accompanying drawings, Figure l, represents a View in perspective of a golf bag with my improvements applied thereto, the parts being shown in the position which they occupy when the support is in its operative position and the golf bag is standing alone. Fig. H, is a view in side elevation, showing the support in its inoperative position. Fig. H1, is a view, partly in vertical section and partly in side elevation at'right angles to that shown in Fig. H. Fig. IV,
is a top or plan view. The scale of these last three figures is considerably enlarged above that of Fig. I.
1, represents an ordinary form of golf bag, provided with rigid longitudinal staypieces 2, and preferably having. the usual annular fillets 3, and 4:, ofheavy Wire around its upper and lower'extremities respectively. The auxiliary supporting member comprises an elongated integral frame, preferably of heavy wire, having extended straight side portions 5, 5, connected at their lower ends by a semicircular portion 6, lying in a plane at an angle to that of the side portions 5, 5. Said side portions are pivotally attached at their upper ends, as indicated at 7, to ears 8, having inwardly extending hooked projections 9, and' adapted to partly embrace and thus engage with the top fillet 3, of the golf bag. The ears 8, are provided with set screws 12, bearing upon hollowed clamping pieces 13, which fit against the exterior surface of the top fillet 3, so that when the set screws areactuated to hold the device in position, the top fillet is tightly clamped between the hooked and the piece 18.
Springs 14, are mounted upon the ears 8, and operatively engage the side pieces 5, 5, of the frame, the said springs resisting the outward movement of the frame, and having a tension sufficient to return the frame to its lnoperative position, and hold the bottom portion 6, in close contact with the bag, against the cfi'ect of gravity. Hence, when the supporting device is in its inoperative position, the bag may be carried in the ordinary way, without any tendency on the part of the support to dangle. When the player desires to stand the golf bag in an upright position, the frame is shifted outward upon the pivots 7, until the bottom portion 6, has been separated far enough from the bag to afford a proper angle for steady support. It will be noted that the bottom portion 6, of the frame is of substantial extent in a horizontal direction and that it is smooth, in the sense that it presents no sharp point which would tend to injure the turf.
Sharpened supports have heretofore been employed in some types of golf bag holders intended for a generallv similar purpose, and have been found so highly objectionable that their use has been prohibited upon most golf courses. It will also be noted that the device can be almost instantaneously applied to, or detached from, any of the ordinary types of golf bag, the upper ends of the frame being separable to permit adjustment to bags having a very considerable range of diameters, while the lower member 6, can have a curvature which permits a sufiiciently close fit throughout a similar range.
Having thus described my invention, I state that I am aware that it is not new to provide a pivotally attached support for a golf bag, and I, therefore, do not broadly claim such an organization, the featuresof novelty residing in the combinations hereinafter set forth.
I claim:
l. The combination, with a longitud nally rigid golf bag, of a supporting frame comprising elongated side portions, an extended smooth member connecting the lower ends of'said side portions; pivotal connections for the upper ends of said frame; means for detachably securing said pivotal connections to the upper portion of-the golf projections 9, and 10,
bag; and a spring operatively engaging said I Patented Nov. 10, 19.14.
ery of the golf bag; means for detacha 1y clamping said projections against the upper periphery of the golf bag, and a spring operatively engaging the frame, and normally tending to hold the same in an inoperative position, substantially as set forth.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto signed my name at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, this seventeenth day of February JULIE LEONORE IRWIN. Witnesses:
JAMES H. BELL, E. L. FULLERTON.
