GOLF-BAG sorrow.
Specification of Letters Patient.
Applicationled November 6, 1915. Serial No. 59,893.
To all whom it may concer/n.'
Be it known that I, HENRY T. GRAF, a citizen of the United States, andv resident of Briarclifl'l Manor, county of Westchester, and State of New York, have invented certain .new and useful Improvements in Golf- Bag Supports, ofwhich the following 1s a specification.
My inveition relatesy to means for sup- .portlng the golf or caddie bag in substantially .upright yposition when the player 1s making a shot so that the bag do'es not have to be thrown down or laid upon the ground. This enables the player to readily select and replace the club without the necessity of stooping down or lifting the bag. 'UI accomplish this by providing the bag wlth .a bar or bracing strip extending longitudlnally thereof upon which a slide block is mounted near the top of the bag, the ordlnary carrying handle offthe bag being secured to the slide block instead of to the bag so that the player by manipulating the handle in 'lifting or setting the bag down can slide the blockand operate two of the tri od le s so as to spread the same the slide block eing suitably vlocked in the 'slideways..
The object of this arrangement is to provide an attachable device' which may be readily attached to existing forms of vgolf 'bags without much modification thereof.
Anotherobject is to' facilitate spreading the legsfby the simple operationof setting down the bag and closing the legs by the operation of lifting the bag by means of the handle.v
One form of my improved device is shown in the accompanying drawings in which- Figure 1 is' a side view of the 'golf bag with the tripod legs spread; Fig. 2 is a rear view of the bag with the legs spread Nsubl Fig. 1; Fig. 3'is a vertical sectional view with the le s collapsed and the slide block 'and handlein the uppermost position; Fig. 4 is a vtransverse cross-section on the line 4-4 of Fig. 3. y d
`Referring to the drawings 1 represents the usual golf or caddie bag which may'bebf canvas or any suitable material bound with leather at the top 2, which binding incloses a metal ring 3 for stiiening the top of the bag in the usual manner. The bottom is usually bound with leather as at 4 and 1s preferably fitted with, a wooden base inside at 5 in Fig. 3 of the draw/'ings l' of the leather bottom substantially asshowll` `preferably thebag, the lower end ofthe bar at 7 `being 1;
bent'at Iright angles .andextending under the bottom of the bag as shown inI Figs. 1'
and 3; the end 7 is preferably provided with a hole through which'the screw' 8- is passed which entering the bottom 5 of the `bag is adapted to secure the lower end of the bar' 6 in place. ,The upper end of the bar 6. is preferably'bent over so as to close the4 ring 3, the bent over portion 9 extending inside the bag as shown in Fig. 3. A screw 10 is'preferably provided, taking through the bar 6 just below the ring 3 and 'extending under jthe ring and thereby securing the bar to .the
upper end of the bag. Obviously this 'con-n.52?. y
struction may be conveniently modified to meet the requirements of different forms of 7-5 bag constructions. On the bar 6 I preferably at 11 secure the buckle A,12 which coperates with the carrying strap 13 in the usual manner. The buckle is usually secured tof the body of the bag, but since my device is pref-A erably attached to the rear of the bag it is desirable to secure the buckle 12 to the bar 6 instead 'of to the bag. The upper end of the bar 6 is preferably provided with a slideI -way 14 which may be of rolled or bent metal or other suitable material as may be desired and maybe ,secured to the bar 6 in any suitable manner as by rivets 15.
A slide block 16 is adapted to, slidelongitudinally of the ways in the slide-way 14: and carries on its outer surface a handle 17 which is preferably secured. to the ends of a spring strip 18 extending lengthwise of the slide block 16 substantially as shown in Fig. 3 of the drawings. One end of the spring strip 18 is securely rivetedto the slide block 1 6 by rivets 19, while the other end is resiliently movable and carries a bolt 20 extending-V through a hole in'the slide,block 16 and adaptedv to enter holes 21' or 22 in the rear plate of the slide-way '14 as indicated in Fig. 3 of the drawings;` Near the lower end of the slide block 16 a transversely disposed obtuse angle to each other so that the legs 25 will swing out at an angle to each other to form a tripod in conjunction withl the bar 6 as will be seen iin-Figs. l and 2 of the drawings.
The lower part of each leg is connected with a link 26 pivotally connected at 27 to a bracket 28 secured to the bar 6 in suchy relation to the slide-way 14 that when the slide block 16 is in'it'suppermost position the links .26 are substantially 'vertical and the. vlegs are collapsed or drawn in so as to lie parallel with the bar 6 as shown in Fig.
3 of the drawings. rllhe ears of the bracket 28` to which they links 261are connected are at an angle corresponding substantially with` they angle between the ears of the bracket 23' so that when theflegs are spread in the Vposition shown in Figs. l and 2,` the links lower part ot' vthe handled? is pulled outwardly to withdraw thev bolt "20 from the upper hole 21,1 thus 'permitting' the slide block 16 to be moved downward in the slideways.' yThis downward movement ot' the slide block 1K6 causes the legsQ .to be movedv downward and 'the links 26 being thus thrown outward will automatically spread the legs into the position indicated in Figs. 1 and 2 ofthe drawings. When the slide 'block 16 reaches the lower end of the slideway le; theA bolt 9.0 will be in position to enterthe hole 22 and lock 'the support with the pair of legs in the spread position, where they with the bar 6 will form a tripod for supporting the .bag ot clubs. When the player has made a shot and is ready to go forward for the next shot the handle l? is again grasped and the mere act of attemptnimeer.
vention.
claim- 1. lin a golf bag support the combination with a bar ysecured to the bag, a slide mounted thereon, a pair of tripod legs pivoted to said slide, means for locking said slide against movement and manually operated means for" releasing said slide.
2. A golf bag tripod comprising a bar secured to the bag, a pair of legs, brace links connecting the legs to said bar, a slide block mounted on said bar and adapted to spread the legs and means for locking said slide block to hold the legs either collapsed or spread.
3. A golf bag tripod comprising a bar removably secured to the bag` a slide block mounted to slide longitudinally of the bar, a pair of legs pivotally carried by said slide block, links connecting thedegs to said bar so as to spread the legs by sliding said block and means `for locking vthe block.
