Description
.J. R. LOVE GOLF BAG SUPPORT March 28, 1939,;
Filed Jan. 24, 1938 Patented Mar. 28, 1939 "UNITED s'mrss 1 Claim.
This invention relates to a golf bag support. It is an object of the present invention to provide means attachable to an ordinary golf bag and whereby the golf bag and its contents may be supported and protected while in use on the course so that it will not be subject to injury by coming in contact with the ground.
In playing the game of golf, as is well .known, the golf clubs are carried around the course in a bag and it is common practice while the player is actually executing a play to lay the bag on the ground. Often times the grass is wet and for that reason and other reasons the bag soon becomes injured. It is an object of this invention to provide a support which may be readily attached to the bag and whereby it may be readily supported out of contact with the ground when it is not actually in use.
It is another object of the invention to provide a golf bag support that will be light and will not add appreciable weight to the bag, which is strong and durable and which may be conveniently carried about with the bag for instant use without inconvenience to the player.
It is another object of the invention to provide a golf bag support that will present a neat and attractive appearance.
It is a further object to provide a support of the character described which will not be liable to get out of repair.
With the above and other objects in view the invention has particular relation to certain novel features of construction, operation and arrangement of parts, an example of which is given in this specification and illustrated in the accompanying drawing, wherein:
Figure 1 shows a perspective view of the support.
Figure 2 shows an enlarged, fragmentary, side 40 View, and
Figure 3 shows an edge view as applied to the golf bag and shown in use.
Referring now more particularly to the drawing wherein like numerals of reference designate the same parts in each of the figures, the numeral I designates an elongated bar whose upper end is formed into an inverted U-shaped hook 2 shaped to engage over the margin of the bag 3 at the top. This hook is provided with a conventional clamp bolt 4 having a threaded connection therewith and which may be screwed inwardly to engage the material of the bag 3 to secure the hook firmly thereto. The lower end of the bar I has an inwardly turned shoe 5 which fits closely against the bottom end of the bag when the support is secured to the bag.
Spaced a suitable distance above the shoe 5, and secured to the bar I there is an arcuate clamp member 6 whose free ends are outwardly curved and provided with the end slots 1. When the support is applied to the bag the clamp member 6 partly surrounds the bag and a strap 8 is fitted around the bag and around the clamp member 6 passing through the slots I, 1 and the strap or belt 8 may be secured in position by the usual buckle 9. There are the legs I 0, I0 whose upper ends are connected by the crossbar H and whose lower ends are free. One of said legs is extended upwardly forming a handle I2 terminating in the grip I3 at its upper end. The cross-bar II is rotatable in a suitable bearing M carried by the upper end of the bar ,I. There are the reversely coiled springs I5, I5 around the bar II on opposite sides of the hearing I l. The outer ends of these springs are formed with hooks IE, IS which engage around the legs I0 and the inner ends of the springs are connected by a loop I! which engages against the bar I. When the lower ends of the legs are moved outwardly the springs I5, I5 will be placed under tension and when the free ends of the legs are released the springs will be effective to move said legs into alignment with the bar I and seat their lower ends in the outwardly curved ends of the clamp member 6 and against the strap 8. This strap is usually formed of leather or other relatively soft material thus forming a bumper against which the legs strike to prevent noise.
In use the supportwill be secured to the bag in the manner indicated and when a play is to be executed by the player he may set the bag on the ground with the shoe 5 resting on the ground as shown in Figure 3 and he may swing the free ends of the legs IIl outwardly into angular relation with the bar I and allow their lower ends to rest on the ground surface as shown in Figure 3. The pressure of the springs I5 against the legs Ill and the bar I will cause the lower ends of said bar and legs, in contact with the ground surface, to exert a gripping effect on the ground so that the bag will be securely maintained in upright position. When the bag is picked up by the player the spring I5, I5 will immediately cause the lower ends of the legs to seat in the curved ends of the clamp member 6 with considerable violence but they will strike against the leather strap 8 thus preventing any unnecessary noise.
The drawing and description disclose what is now considered to be a preferred form of the invention by way of illustration only, while the broad principle of the invention will be defined by the appended claim.
What I claim is:
A holder for a golf bag and the like comprising a bar having means to connect the upper portion of the bar to the golf bag, a bearing 10 connected to the upper portion of the bar, a
cross-bar of a length approximately equal to the width of the bag mounted in the bearing, a leg connected to each end of the cross-bar, one of the legs extending above the cross-bar to form a handle, means for holding the legs yieldingly against the bag, a rigid clamp connected to the lower portion of the bar, a flexible strap around the clamp and adapted to hold the clamp to the bag.
