application mea rune e, 192e. Y serial no. 113,503.
This invention relates to carrying cases and has particular reference to certain improvements in golf bags. j n
Primarily the invention comprehend-s an improved golf bag structure which func heads above the upperopenend of the More specificallythe ,invention comprehends a golf bag including a'main body por tion of preferably'lesser' length than the shortest club, in which said body is provided with a telescopic bottom section projectable from the lower end of the body a sufficient distance to dispose the head of the longest club below the upper end of the body, and in which the bag structure further comprehends a closure means designed to respectively lit the upper open end when the bottom section is projected outwardly or the lower end when the bottom section is telesco ed within the bag body.
ther objects of the invention reside in the comparative simplicity of construction, the economy with which the same may be manufactured, and the general efficiency of the use to which the same may b e put.
With the above recited and other objects in view, reference is had to the following specilication andv accompanying drawings in which there is exhibited one example or embodiment of the invention which is in no way intended as a limitation upon the scope of the appended claims as it is'to be clearly understood that variations and modifications which properly fall within the scope of said claims may be resorted to when found eX- pedient.
In the drawings- Figure 1 is a vertical sectional l view through a golf bag constructed in accordance with the invention and illustrating the arrangement of the same for completely enclosing the clubs; y
Fig. 2 is a similar view illustrating the arrangement of the bag for its active use on the linls;
Fig. 3 is a side view of the bag arranged in the manner illustrated in Fig. 1;V
' Fig. 1 is an enlarged sectional view vof the upper end of the bag with the Iclosure in locked condition.
Referring to the drawings by characters of reference', 10'designates the bod-yoflthe bag which is preferably of cylindricalconfiguration and open at both its upper and lower ends which are reinforcedfby lidentically constructed annular sleeves lor 'collars l11 and 12. The sleeves -or collars are each provided with anl annular inwardly bentbead 13 which presents a channelin the i* outerperiphery within which the *body ends are secured in anyV su'itablemanner. v"The bag structureffurther #includes a'bottom section 14 whichlis ofsubstantia-llycylindrical formation provided with a'closed'lowerfend 15 and having an outwardly projecting marginal rim 16. The diameter of the bottom section 14e is of a size to lit within thev inner Y periphery of the bead 13 of thevlower sleeve or collar 12 so as to allow for sliding move- Vment of said section therethrough to permit of telescopic action of the bottom section with respect to the bag body, it being obvious that the rim 16 coacts with the bead 13 of the-lower collar 12 to limit the outward movement lof the bottom section.
A closure membervin the nature of a circular plate 17 having a marginal outwardly flared flange 18, is provided and is of the proper size and conguration to fit within the collars 11 and 12,50 that the flange 18" thereof will engage and snuglyft the beads 13 to limit inward movement of the closure. In order to provide means for retaining the closure within the collars, a pair of radially projectable and retractible bolts 19 are mounted on the inner face `of the closure plate so that the outer extremities 20 thereof when projected outwardly will engage behind the bead 13 of either collar. Any suitable actuating mechanism may be provided for projecting or retracting the bolts 19, such as a key-actuated lock 21 of any well-known type, the structure ofwhich is not illustrated for the reason that it lforms no part of the present invention.
In use and operation, when it is desired to completely enclose or house the clubs in the bag, for transportation to or from the links or for storage of the same. the bottom section 14 is projected outwardly or downwardly until the rim 16 engages with the bead 13 of the lower sleeve 12, as illustrated in` Figs. 1 and 3. Under this arrangement the bag from the bottom wall 15 of the bottom section to its upper end is of sufficient length to accommodate the longest club. This per v`mits the closure plate 17 to be inserted withbag from the bottom Wall 15 of the bottom section to the upper end of the upper collar 11 is less than the length of the shortest club, whereby the heads of all the clubs will vprotrude from thepupper end of the bag to j J facilitate the selection and removalV of the clubs.
From the foregoing it will thus be seen that an improvement in golf bags has been devised which is simple, comparativelyinexpensive, and efficient both in the active and inactive uses of the bag.
What is claimed is: 1. A golf bag, comprising a body, a telescopic bottom section, and means respectively engageable within the opposite ends ot' the body to constitute a member for closing the upper end when the bottom section is projected outwardly, and a means for. retaining the bottom section against outward movement whenV telescoped Within the body.
2. A golf bag, comprising a tubular bodjl section Lhaving collars at its upper and lower ends, each'collar having an' inwardlyY projecting annular bead, a tubular bottomV section having a closed lower end and an exl ternal outwardly projecting rim at itsupper end adapted to engage with the. bead oi the lower collar for limiting the outwardinovenient of said bottom section, a closure platev adapted for respective insertion within the collars at the opposite end for engagement' with the beads thereof, and means carried by said closure plate for locking engagement with the beads to retain said closure plate in associated relation with the collars, as and Jfor the purpose specified.v
