Application led `llprl l, 1912. Serial No. Gili/,551?.

To all whom may concern.'

Be it known that l, Gnonon L. Pinnen, a citizen of the United States, residing at Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented certain newT and useful improvements in Goltllags, of which the following is a specification.

My present invention relates to an ilnproved golf-bag adapted to have some or all of the following eatu res and advantages:

The clubs are kept apart and so are lne.

vented from striking and battering" one another. The bag is kept extended so that its mouth does not sag toward its bottom. The means for accomplishine` the above may be made irulependentv of the bag so that it may be removed troni o` applied to the bag at will. These and other features and advantages of iny improvements will be uuderstood by those skilled in the art from an understanding of the followingl specification in connection with the drawings.

These show only one ot the specific embodi ments which my improvenients are adapt il to take. Figure l is a side elevation of a golfvbag; having my improvements incorporated therewith; Fig. 2 is a.k vertical mid-section of the devices of Fig. l; Fig. 3 is a side elevation ofthe devices constituting my 'improvements shown removed or detached from the bag; Fig'. l is a plan view on an enlarged scale 'ot' the top et the bag and improvements ot Fig. l, a portion of said figure being broken away to reveal the underlying structure, and Fig. 5 is a plan lview of a detail in tended especially to illustrate the part hereinafter described as the spider.

li -will now describe the specific devices of the drawings;

.l is a golf-bag of any usual or preferred constructiongli?l 1s a roclordinarily of' wood about the length of the ba0",-in this case beingl somewhat longer so that its upper end projects above the top of the bag to serve as a stick for the player to lean on.

Further both said eollar and the mouth ot the bag may have per'torations ll throiiigh which a lace or cord l2 (compare litiga. l and fl) is adapted to be passed to secure these parts together.

Since the rod 2 is intended to rest on the bottom ot the bagr or substantially so, it i l at its upper-end saidv rod engages the month ofthe bag as above described.
