Y vWilliam H. Bright, Ozone Park, N. Y. Application September 7, 1940, SeralNo."355,755
'2 claims. (C1. V150g- 1.5)
This invention relates to golf bags and constitutes an improvement over the golf bag support set forth in my prior Patent No. 1,791,188 dated February 3, 1931.
In my prior patent above'referred to, I produced a foldable support for supporting-3. golf bag in an inclined upstanding position for the convenience of those golfers who prefer to carry their own golf bag during the playing of a game of golf rather than employ a caddy, it being understood that a golfer carrying his own bag must drop the bag on the turf when making a shot. ln my patented support, the same is folded against the outer side of the bag when not inuse, and the exposure of the foldable support might be objectionable to a fastidious golfer when carrying the golf bag to and from the golf course. It is therefore the main object of this invention to provide a pocket along the lengthof a golf bag into which the folded support may be nested and concealed when the support is not in use.
Another feature of the invention resides in a golf bag having a bag support receiving pocket which is so formed as to receive the support when it is in folded position and to allow the support to swing outwardly of the pocket to unfolded set up position, thus eliminating the necessity of manually grasping the support to insert it into and remove from the pocket.
A further feature of the invention is to provide a golf bag with a support receiving pocket which extends substantially the length of the bag, the pocket being securely closed by a slide fastener device which completely closes the pocket to impart a neat appearance to the bag and which enables the quick and easy opening and closing of the pocket as and when the occasion demands.
Other features of the invention will appear as the following specification is read in conjunction with the accompanying drawing, in which:
Figure 1 is a front elevational view of a golf bag constructed in accordance with my inven.
tion, the bag support being folded into the closed pocket, a portion of the pocket being broken away.
Figure 2 is a front elevational view of the bag in a position supported by the unfolded bag support, the pocket being shown in open position.
Figure 3 is a side elevational View of the golf bag in supported position.
Figure 4 is an enlarged detail vertical sectional view on the line 4 4 of Figure 1.
Figure 5 is an enlarged fragmentary horizontal sectional View on the line 5-5 of Figure 1. 55
Figure 6 is a horizontal sectional View of a. slight modified form of the invention.
Referring to the drawing by reference characters, the numeral III designates my improved golf bag in its entirety and which includes an elongated exible bag body II having a hem I2 at its` open top which encloses a rigid ring I3. The bag body I I may be constructed of canvas, leather,v or any of the usual materials employed in the making of golf bags. The bag body has a rigid bottom and the rear side thereof is provided-with the usual carrying handle I4, shoulder carrying strap I5, and ball pocket I6. A
The front side of the bagbody II is split as at II lengthwise from the open top thereof to a point adjacent the bottom wall and the edges of the split have Stringer members I8 of a conventional slideV fastener device stitched thereto as at I9, the Stringer members being engaged and disengaged by the actuating slidemember 20,`which -is pulled down to release the stringe: members and pulled up to engage them. Disposed Within the bag body II and bridging the split II is a pocket forming piece of eXible material 2I such as canvas, leather, 0r the like, the upper end of which is secured about thek ring I3 while the lower ,end is stitched to the bag body II below the lower end of the split as at 22. The strip of pocket material ZI has its longitudinal side edges secured to the split edge of the bag body by the stitching 23 disposed adjacent the stitching I8. The width of the pocket forming strip is such that it has a fullness necessary for forming a pocket 24, and in practice assumes a substantially crescent shape in cross section as illustrated in Figure 5 of the drawing, the intermediate portion or rear wall 25 forming part of the golf club compartment 26, while the end portions 21-21 fold inwardly and lie against the inside of the side walls of the bag body II.
From the description thus far, it will be understood that I have provided a golf bag with a pocket 24 extending lengthwise of the bag body for a distance substantially the length thereof and which pocket may be closed by the slide fastener device consisting of the stringers I8-I8 and slide member 2li. This pocket encloses a foldable prop-like support of the kind set forth in my prior Patent No. 1,791,188 above referred to. The folding'support includes a pair of leg members 28--28 which are swivelly connected at their top ends to the rear wall 25 as at 29. The leg members 28-28 cross each other and are held confined by a ring 3B. The ring 30 is slidable and captively connected to a ilexible element in the form of a chain 3| which extends lengthwise of the pocket and which has its ends xedly connected to eyes 32 secured to the rear wall 25 of the pocket. The leg members 28-28 are of a length that when the ring 30 is moved down to its lowermost position on the chain 3|, the leg members will clear the lower end of the slit and freely enter the pocket 25, at which time the legmembers are in their folded position entirely within the pocket whereupon the slide fastener device may be actuated to close the pocket as illustrated in Figure 1.
In practice, assume that the folded prop support is enclosed within the pocket as illustrated in Figure 1 and it is desired to release the same for use in supporting the bag in an upstanding position as illustrated in Figure 3.. The golfer grasps the slide member 2 and pulls down thereon until the same reaches the end of its run. The pocket 25 is now open and the walls thereof may be spread apart, whereupon the leg members 28-28 are free to be extended out of the open pocket. The golfer may now grasp the ring 3B and slide it upwardly upon the leg members 28-28 which causes the leg members to spread outwardly away from the bag and assume a locked unfolded position, whereupon the bag may be supported in a substantially vertical position to enable the golfer to remove and replace a club from the bag. After completing Ia shot, the golfer lifts the bag upwardly causing the ring `3|) to drop by gravity whereupon the leg members swing inwardly into the pocket 24. After the golfer has completed his game, the slide fastener device is actuated to closed position with the prop support folded within the pocket and there isno visible evidence that the bag is equipped with the support. The bag, in appearance resembles a conventional golf bag.
In the form of the invention hereinbefore described, the pocket 24 was formed within the bag body by securing the pocket forming piece of material 2| on the inside thereof. In Figure 6 I have illustrated a slight modified form wherein the pocket forming piece 2| of flexible material may be attached to the exterior of the -bag body as at 23. The pocket forming piece 2|' is split to form an opening to the pocket 24. The opening is closed by a slide fastener device in the same manner as the slit 'Ihe legs 28-28 of the prop-like support are housed within the pocket 24 in the same manner as they are in the pocket 24.
While I have shown and described what I consider to be the most practical embodiment of my invention, I wish it to be understood that such changes and equivalents as come within the scope of the appended claims may be resorted to if desired.
Having thus described the invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is:
1. A golf bag comprising in combination, a flexible bag body having a slit extending down from the top of the side Walls thereof, a partition strip within said bag body and secured thereto adjacent the edges of the slit to divide the bag body into a golf club compartment and a golf bag support compartment, a ,golf bag support pivotally connected to said partition strip for swinging movement into and out of said second compartment, and releasable fastener means for securing the edges of the slit together to close said `pocket when the support is in position therein.
2.( A golf bag comprising in combination, a flexible bag body having a slit extending down from the 130D Qf the. .Side Wall thereof, a flexible partition strip disposed within the bag body in spanning relation to said slit and having its edges stitched to the bagbody to divide the bag body into a golf club compartmentand a golf bag support compartment, the second compartment being accessible through said slit, a golf bag support pivotally connected to said partition strip within said second compartment for swinging 'movement into and out of the same, and releasa-ble fastener means for securing the edges of the slit together to close said pocket when the support is swung to a position therein.
