  • As shown in FIGS. 1 to 12, a cart-attachable mobile golf bag according to the present invention includes a golf bag 100 having a hard-shell structure and a cart 200 attached to the golf bag in a one-touch docking manner.
  • The golf bag 100 includes: a bag body 10 including an inner space portion 11 for storing golf clubs, a moving wheel 12 provided at each lower side thereof, and inner and outer handles; and a head cover 20 detachably attached to an upper portion of the bag body.
  • The bag body 10 and the head cover 20 are made of polycarbonate and ABS material such that when the golf bag is transported in the air, the golf bag protects safely the golf clubs without requiring a separate wrapping cover, unlike a soft material such as cloth, and also has sufficient durability.
  • The head cover 20 has a double lock structure in which: the head cover is provided with a coupling protrusion 25 protruding from a lower outer side thereof and rotatably inserted into a coupling recess 15 formed in an upper outer side of the bag body 10 such that the coupling protrusion and the coupling recess are engaged with each other to prevent separation; and the head cover is opened and locked by a separate circular lock 30.
  • At this time, the coupling protrusion 25 of the head cover has a T-shaped cross-section, and the coupling recess 15 of the bag body is configured such that an insertion portion 15 a into which the coupling protrusion is inserted and a locking portion 15 b preventing separation of the coupling protrusion are connected to each other, whereby when the coupling protrusion 25 is inserted into and rotated in the coupling recess 15, the coupling protrusion and the coupling recess are engaged to prevent separation. Furthermore, the head cover 20 is provided with a hook 26 at a side of a lower portion thereof, and the bag body 10 is provided with a hook recess 16 formed in a front surface thereof correspondingly to the hook such that the hook is inserted into the hook recess. Due to this configuration, the head cover is detached from the bag body 10 and then hooked thereto for storage by hanging the hook 26 in the hook recess 16 of the bag body. Herein, the hooked head cover 20 is stored in an inverted state such that various golf equipment, such as a club head cover, other accessories, and the like is stored in an inner space of the head cover.
  • Furthermore, instead of the head cover 20, a cloth cover 20′ is separately provided such that the cloth cover 20′ is attached to the upper portion of the bag body in place of the head cover. The cloth cover 20′ is provided at a center thereof with a waterproof zipper 21 such that the golf clubs in the bag body are conveniently taken out for use by opening the waterproof zipper without requiring removal of the cloth cover.
  • Furthermore, the bag body 10 is provided at a front center thereof with a front door 17. The front door is configured to be released by pressing of a button 17 a and is opened while being elastically rotated by an elastic spring such that various equipment is stored in a storing portion 17 b.
  • Furthermore, the bag body 10 is provided at each side thereof with a metal plate 18 at a position inside a sidewall of the bag body, and a side pocket 35 having a magnet 36 is separately provided to store various equipment by being attached and detached by a magnetic force exerted by the magnet at a position outside the side wall of the bag body correspondingly to the metal plate.
  • At this time, the side pocket 35 is made of a cloth material so as to be easily carried in a folded state when not in use.
  • Furthermore, each of the respective moving wheels 12 of the bag body 10 is configured such that a wheel shaft 31 that has multiple annular grooves 31 a formed along a longitudinal direction thereof is inserted into the bag body 10 from each side of the bag body in an extendable and retractable manner, and a press pin 33 is protrudingly inserted into a side of each of the respective wheel shafts from a lower portion of the bag body in a direction perpendicular to the wheel shaft such that the press pin is inserted into a side of one of the grooves 31 a of the wheel shaft 31 to support the moving wheel 12. Herein, each of the respective press pins 33 is provided with an annular grooved portion 33 a corresponding to the diameter of the wheel shaft such that when the grooved portion 33 a is moved into a position engaging the wheel shaft 31 by elastically pressing the press pin, the wheel shaft is extended by a width between the grooves 31 a, thus adjusting the width between the moving wheels 12.
  • That is, due to adjustment of the width between the moving wheels 12, it is possible that the golf bag is moved more stably when moving, and also the golf bag is minimized in volume when stored.
  • Herein, the press pin 33 is elastically supported by an elastic spring (not shown) such that when an external force is removed after a pressing operation, the press pin is returned to an original position by the elastic spring and thus supports the wheel shaft 31 of the moving wheel 12 again.
  • Furthermore, the bag body 10 is provided in a rear surface thereof with a supporting bar 19 inserted into an embedding groove 19 a vertically formed in a longitudinal direction of the bag body. Herein, an upper end of the supporting bar is shafted to the embedding groove such that when the bag body is needed to stand upright, a lower end of the supporting bar is rotated to support the bag body in a standing upright position.
  • The cart 200 includes a vertical quadrangular support 51, a handle 52 provided at an upper portion of the support, left and right moving wheels 55 provided at a lower portion of the support and connected to each other by a link member 54, and a docking block 56 provided on a front surface of the cart and coupled to a docking recess 60 formed in a rear surface of the golf bag.
  • The docking block 56 has a T-shaped structure having a locking protrusion 56 a at each side thereof. The docking recess 60 includes an insertion recess 61 into which the docking block is inserted, and a locking recess 62 extending from a lower side of the insertion recess and having a locking step 62 a by which each of the respective locking protrusions 56 a is locked and retained. Due to such configuration, when the insertion recess 61 of the golf bag is fitted over the docking block and then the golf bag is slided downward to cause the locking recess 62 to be fitted over the docking block, the golf bag is attached to the cart in a one-touch docking manner.
  • At this time, it is preferable that each of the docking block 56 and the docking recess 60 is provided at least two positions in a vertical direction such that the respective docking blocks and the respective docking recesses correspond to each other.
  • Furthermore, each of the moving wheels 55 of the cart is provided with a brake means 70 for restricting movement of the moving wheel 55. The brake means 70 includes an actuating lever 72 vertically rotated about a hinge shaft 71 by a pressing operation, an actuating pin 73 having a rear end shafted to a lower end of the actuating lever so as to be moved forward by the pressing operation of the actuating lever, and a rotation restricting recess 58 formed in a side surface of the moving wheel 55 and restricting rolling of the moving wheel 55 when the actuating pin moving forward is inserted thereinto.
  • The actuating pin 73 may have a simple pin structure. However, it is preferable that the actuating pin 73 has a cylinder structure as shown in the drawings and is guided to be moved forward or rearward by a guide.
  • Undescribed reference numerals 81 and 82 denote handles respectively provided at a front side and a rear side of the bag body.
  • Hereinafter, the operation and action of the present invention configured as described above will be described.
  • The golf bag 100 according to the present invention is used in combination with the cart 200 by storing golf clubs in the inner space 11 of the bag body 10 and then attaching the head cover 20 to the bag body, or is used while being moved by the moving wheels 12 without combination with the cart.
  • At this time, attachment of the head cover 20 is performed in such a manner that the coupling protrusion 25 formed in the lower outer side of the head cover and having a T-shaped cross-section is inserted into the coupling recess 15 formed in the upper outer side of the bag body 10. In this manner, the coupling protrusion 25 is inserted into the insertion portion 15 a of the coupling recess and then the head cover is rotated to cause the coupling protrusion 25 to be positioned in the locking portion 15 b of the insertion portion, whereby the head cover is firmly attached to the bag body so as not to be separated therefrom.
  • Since the bag body 10 and the head cover 20 of the golf bag 100 are made of polycarbonate, an ABS material, and the like to have a hard-shell structure, it is possible that when the golf bag is transported by air, the golf bag protects safely the golf clubs inside without requiring a separate wrapping cover.
  • When the golf bag 100 according to the present invention is needed to be used in combination with the cart 200, the docking block 65 of the T-shaped structure formed on the front surface of the support 51 of the cart is inserted into the insertion recess 61 formed in an upper portion of the docking recess 60 formed in the rear surface of the bag body.
  • Then, when the docking block 56 of the cart is slided downward into the locking recess 62 located at a lower location of the insertion recess 61, the locking steps 62 a at opposite sides of the locking recess 62 lock the locking protrusions 56 a at opposite sides of the docking block 56, whereby the golf bag is simply attached to the cart in a docking manner so as not to be separated therefrom. This makes it possible that the golf bag is simply and firmly attached to the cart in a one-touch manner without requiring any separate tying process as in the related art.
  • After the golf bag 100 is attached to the cart 200 in a docking manner as described above, the golf bag is used while being moved by the moving wheels 55 of the cart and the moving wheels 12 of the golf bag. Herein, to enable the golf bag 100 to be moved more stably, the moving wheels 12 of the golf bag 100 is adjusted in width.
  • This means that when each of the press pins 33 protruding outwardly from each side of the lower portion of the bag body is pressed, the press pin 33, which is in a state of supporting the wheel shaft 31 to restrict an extending and retracting motion of the wheel shaft by being inserted into one of the grooves 31 a formed in the wheel shaft of the moving wheel 12, transitions to a state of permitting the extending and retracting motion of the wheel shaft 31 when the grooved portion 33 a of the press pin is positioned on the wheel shaft.
  • In this state, when the wheel shaft 31 of the moving wheel 12 is extended to allow the remaining one of the grooves 31 a formed in the wheel shaft along the longitudinal direction thereof to be positioned on the press pin, and then the pressing operation of the press pin is removed, the press pin is elastically returned to the original position thereof. This causes a large-diameter portion of the press pin rather than the grooved portion 33 a to be inserted into the remaining one of the grooves 31 a of the wheel shaft, thus locking the wheel shaft 31 of the moving wheel 12.
  • By controlling the extending and retracting motion of the left and right moving wheels 12 of the golf bag in such a manner, the golf bag is used by adjusting the width between the moving wheels 12.
  • The golf bag 100 according to the present invention as described above is used while being easily moved in combination with the cart, and when the golf clubs in the bag body 10 are needed to be used, the head cover 20 is detached from the bag body and then the golf clubs are taken out.
  • At this time, the detached head cover 20 to be stored is hooked to the bag body by inserting the hook 26 provided at the side of the lower portion thereof into the hook recess 16 formed in the front surface of the bag body.
  • Herein, since the hooked head cover 20 is stored in an inverted state, various equipment, such as a club head cover, other accessories, and the like may be stored in the head cover.
  • Furthermore, the side pocket 35 may be attached to each side of the bag body 10 to store various equipment. This is realized by attaching the respective side pockets 35 to positions corresponding to the respective metal plates 18 provided in the side wall of the bag body 10 by a magnetic force exerted by the magnets 36 provided in the side pockets 35.
  • The side pockets 35 are made of a cloth material and thus can be simply stored in a different storage space in a folded state when not in use.
  • On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 10, the separate cloth cover 20′ is detachably attached to the upper portion of the bag body 10 in place of the head cover 20. Herein, since the cloth cover 20′ is provided with the waterproof zipper 21 at the center thereof, the golf clubs in the bag body can be simply taken out for use by opening the waterproof zipper without requiring detachment of the cloth cover.
  • Furthermore, when the golf bag 100 according to the present invention is used while being moved in combination with the cart 200, it is possible that movement of the moving wheels 55 of the cart is restricted by the brake means 70 at a stationary position. This is realized in such a manner that when the actuating lever 73 provided at a side of each of the moving wheels 55 of the cart is pressed, the actuating lever 73 is rotated to cause the actuating pin 73 shafted to the lower end of the actuating lever 72 to be pressed and moved forward, and then the actuating pin 73 is inserted into the rotation restricting recess 58 formed in the side surface of the moving wheel 55, thus restricting movement of the moving wheel 55.
  • On the contrary, in a case where movement restriction of the moving wheels 55 is needed to be released, when the actuating lever 72 of the brake means 70 is pressed again, the actuating lever 72 is returned to the original position thereof while being rotated, causing the actuating pin 73 moved forward to be moved rearward back, thus permitting movement of the moving wheel 55.
  • On the other hand, in a case where the cart 200 is needed to be detached from the golf bag 100, in the reverse order of a docking operation, the docking block 56 of the cart is slided upward from the docking recess to be positioned in the insertion recess 61 located at an upper location of the locking recess 62, and then the cart is pulled forward and simply detached.
  • Although the exemplary embodiments of the present invention have been described for illustrative purposes, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various modifications, additions and substitutions are possible, without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention as disclosed in the accompanying claims.
