Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates generally to golf bags and, more particularly, golf bags having a deployable stand assembly.
- Golf bags are typically designed as elongated structures designed to receive golf clubs, having an open top end and a closed base, such that the club heads extend out the top of the bag. This enables convenient identification and selection of clubs during play. As a consequence, however, a fully loaded golf bag has the center of gravity located near the top of the bag, which promotes instability.
- To compensate for instability, certain golf bags include a deployable stand to support the bag in an inclined position. Commonly referred to as stand bags, such bags commonly include a pair of straight legs pivotally attached proximate to an upper end of the bag coupled to a pedal proximate to the base of the bag via rods. In use, a user can deploy the legs by pressing down on the bag so that the pedal causes the rods to displace axially, forcing the legs to a deployed position. For example, during the course of play a golfer would set down the stand bag near the ball, causing the legs to deploy, and select a club. With the legs deployed, the bag is comparatively more stable.
- Although such stand bags are generally effective, shortfalls exist. For example, current stand begs often require substantial force imparted by the user to cause the legs stands to deploy. In addition, on uneven ground, it can be difficult to impart such force, while maintaining bag stability. Moreover, current approaches hamper design esthetics of the bag.
- It should be appreciated that there remains a need for a golf bag having a stand assembly that addresses these concerns. The present invention fulfills this need and others.
- In general terms, the present invention provides a golf bag having a bag body and a deployable stand assembly. The bag body defines an upper opening for receiving golf clubs and a bottom end including a base. The base defines the bottom end of the bag body and includes a first section, a second section and an intermediate section. The intermediate section is disposed between and hinged to both the first section and the second section. The bag includes a support assembly coupled to the bag body proximate to the upper opening and in operative communication with the base such that flexion of the base causes the support assembly to deploy to support the bag in an inclined position, while ensuring that a substantial portion of the base remains in contact with the ground throughout the deployment process, facilitating smooth deployment of the stand.
- More specifically, and by way of example in an embodiment of the invention, the first section, the second section and the intermediate section of the base are each independent structures. The intermediate section includes a first hinge portion on a first side of the intermediate section and a second hinge portion on a second side of the intermediate section. The first section includes a hinge portion coupled to the first hinge portion of the intermediate section to enable the first section to pivot relative to the intermediate section. The second section includes a hinge portion coupled to the second hinge portion of the intermediate section to enable the second section to pivot relative to the intermediate section.
- In another embodiment of the invention, the base is formed of unitary construction and includes three sections partitioned by two hinge sections formed by lines of weakening extending parallel to one another across the base. These lines of weakening create flexion lines, which upon application of force onto the bag, causes the base sections to rotate relative to one another.
- In an independent aspect of the invention, the golf bag includes a bag body having a base defining the bottom end of the bag body and a support assembly coupled to the bag body proximate to the upper opening and in operative communication with the base to deploy to support the bag in an inclined position. The support assembly includes a support formed of injection-molded material. The support is configured facilitate structural strength of the support, while enabling the support to be relatively lightweight.
- In an exemplary embodiment, the support is formed of unitary construction, in which an upper portion is coupled to a pivot assembly disposed adjacent to the upper end of the bag body, and support includes two wishbone-type leg portions extending from an intermediate portion, the leg portions angled rearward from the intermediate portion about the bag body. The support can includes truss sections having a support portion angled relative to a longitudinal axis of the support.
