A collapsible cap is also provided to cover the exposed ends of the clubs when traveling, and this cap is secured from the insideof the case so that it cannot be removed without o ning the case.

In detail my invention comprises a case in which is dis osed a central portion y,57, khaving a plura 'it y of separate club 4compartinents Sand t e lar er compartments 9 each of which is ada te to receive an uin- `brella or a tube of alls. These coin art- 4ments alie preferably arranged in a co u mn `ha'ving'iverhanging bases 11 and 12.' In other words, a cross section of the Acentral portion 7 has the shape of a capital I.' n

One end of the case is closed by a suitable sheet`l3, and the other end of the case is covered with a similar sheet 14, having apertures therein iii "register with the 'compartare open and the rest of the end is closed. The sheets-13.-and 14 are preferably ofthe saine height ras the portion-7, but are extended laterally vv"beyond the ends of] the t5 overhaiiging bases 11 and 12 to give the he ,cap showing the projecting tral portion, carrying chambers are provided preferably provided with'a flange 29 w ments 8 and 9, yso-that these compartments mountabl desired width to the case. A small aperture 1'6 is provided adjacent each corner of `their ends by the hinged joints 21 and the hinge bars 22. Each hinge bar is formed in two pieces connected by the pivotal joint 23r s o that the frame formed by these elements may be collapsed by the inward movement of the hingebars to enable it to be folded when not in use. The pivot pins 25' in each hinge joint V21 are olset and terminato inA the `threaded stud 17. Wing mits 24 are provided to secure the studs 17 in the apertures '16 and as the wing nuts are onthe inside of`the case, the cap cannot be removed without-.opening the case. 'lhis feature will be found particularly.eective l in preventing the theft of clubs. y
