Sept. D MATTHEWS GOLF BAG STAND Filed Oct. 9, 1947 3 17271467 mafizews Patented Sept. 14, 1948 cont BAGSTAND 1 DanielgMflthhvts,tloronto, Ontario, Canada flpplicationpctober 9, 1947," Serial Nofl'i'l8i835,
'the legs are-causedto spreadtea supportingpo 'sition by-the weight of :the bag in placing it upright on theground where it is maintained. ate convenient inclination for removing and replacing the golf clubs.
More particularly the aim of the invention is i :to. provide l a stand wit-ma .leg gslid ably arranged alongside of the golf bag to project below the bottom thereof for engaging the ground, and a pair of pivotedlegs normally disposed parallel to the slidable leg and connected theretohbyaa mechanism toperable .to.swirlgvth tpivotediees t open positionnwhen th weiehtof; the hamme on the slidable leg and slides it upwardly within limited movement. Accordingly, a person can easily stand the bag on the ground by lowering it endwise so that the slidable leg contacts the ground and automatically throws the pivotal legs to spread position to support the bag at an inclination. When the bag is raised from the ground the pivotal legs fold of their own accord, which does not interfere with the carrying of the bag.
The invention consists in the novel construction and arrangement of the golf bag stand as described in the ensuing specification and shown in the accompanying drawing forming a part thereof.
In the drawing,
Fig. 1 is a top plan view of the stand of the present invention applied to an ordinary golf bag.
Fig. 2 is an elevational view showing the stand in collapsed position on the bag.
Fig. 5 is a side View showing how the legs of the stand support the bag.
Fig. 4 is a vertical section on line 2 depicting the stand.
Fig. 5 is a similar sectional View to Fig. 4 but depicting the legs in open position.
Fig. 6 is a detail of the upper end of the slidable leg.
Fig. '7 is a perspective aspect of the pivotal end of the swingable legs.
In the selected embodiment of the invention herein disclosed the stand is shown as comprising a frame, generally denoted at 9, on which is mounted a slidable leg ill and swingable legs- 4-4 of Fig.
ll. Said frame is designed roman-11mm; l standard golf bag I 2, of which 153 dei'ioteskhe ihan-dle, M indicates the shoulder s'tnap, and l5 rep-resents .theistraps-..overlying thecmouth d6;
l The frame 9 :is;preferably:ma;de up of agrigid :cros's-strap I! and a .dependingatubular imem l ir l8 rigidly connected thereto. asbywa .lrollfi gn leje ment 19. The crosslstrap I.1;jiszdisposed ztowalfd the mouth 136 'of :the. bag andiis; curved throu h its lengthto 'fit E-bOUlJ'BxLbIIOfid-Sidfiifli thaba eand has earsize atritS ends :whicharesecured hyzsuitable fastenin elements lto :t-h nsualireihfor 1.1 m mbers fthebasi, H ,Ihe 'tubuIanmember. t8 istdisposed medially of the adjacent broadcside of the vJQla jaiiogeid er d alongside of thersame he bottom 2 where tt ov ded wit a imturned tea sl t- 1 11 1 overlies the said bottom and issecuned thereto asbya fasteningelementtz h "-l he tube; [B gone tains th sl dabl les J0, vrmqh :is f e 1 v endwiseathereini Thelupp r nd 2,: a; 4 able' leg ,is :disposed n lower end thereof projects from the tube [8 and terminates in a spur 26 for penetrating the ground. Adjacent to the spur there is a pad 21 which limits the penetration of the spur and is positioned so that it will make contact with the lower end of the tube 18 during relative upward movement of the slidable leg. The pad 21 therefore serves as a stop piece for limiting movement of the leg inwardly of said tube.
Rigid with the strap I! of the frame is a hearing 28 at right angles to the tube 18. In the bearing is journalled a pivot bar 29 from which the swingable legs I I rigidly extend in spaced relation so as to straddle the slida'ble leg I ll. Slots 30 are supplied in the bearing 28 to accommodate swinging movement of the legs II, and these legs desirably terminate in a spur 3| and a pad 32.
The upper end 25 of the slidable leg I0 is offset to extend adjacent to the pivot bar 29 and is formed with an aperture 33 in which is loosely 'fitted the free end of an arm 34 rigidly project- By this expediency the 7 until the slidable leg engages the ground and the weight of the bag forces this leg inwardly of the tube l8 to throw the swingable legs to unfolded position. It is then only necessary to allow the swingable legs to rest firmly upon'the ground with the bag in an inclined position as depicted in Fig. 3. The legs cannot spread beyond a predetermined angle due to the stop piece 21. In picking up the bag the swingable legs return to folded position by the force of gravity. The swingable legs may be retained in closed position by a spring catch if so desired.
It will be manifest that the invention provides a stand in which the legs are automatically spread, and one which is facile of use and inexpensive to manufacture.
It is not intended that the invention shall be limited to the specific details of construction herein disclosed, but that such changes and variations may be resorted to as come within the subjoined claims.
What I claim is:
1. A golf bag stand comprising a frame, and legs carried thereby for spreading from a normally closed position to an open position, one of the legs being slidably mounted alongside of the bag and having a lower end projecting below the bottom thereof, another of the legs being pivotally mounted to swing away from the bag to an'open position, a pivot bar rigid with the pivoted leg, an arm rigid therewith having a distal end loosely engaged in an aperture formed in the slidable leg whereby a receding movement of the slidable leg is operative to swing the pivoted leg to open position.
'2. A golf bag stand comprising a frame provided with a tubular member for extending downwardly alongside of the bag to the bottom thereof, an car on said tubular member for attachment to the bottom of the bag, a rigid transverse strap secured to the upper end of said tubular member, said strap having pierced ends for attachment to the bag, a bearing rigid with said strap, a pivot bar journalled in said bearing transversely of said tubular member, a leg slidably disposed in said tubular member having a lower end for projecting below the bag and having an upper end offset from said pivot bar and provided with an aperture, a pair of legs rigidly extending from said pivot bar and normally straddling said slidable leg and an arm rigid with said pivot bar and engaged in said aperture in the upper end of the slidable leg so as to swing the said pair of legs to an unfolded position when the weight of the bag is taken on the slidable leg.
3. A structure as defined in claim 2, in which the slidable leg has a pad at its lower end engageable with the lower end of the tubular member to act as a sto piece for limiting upward travel of the slidable leg.
4. A stand for supporting a golf bag in a substantially upright position, comprising a frame for attachment to said bag having a tubular member for extending alongside of the bag, 'a leg slidably mounted in said tubular member to project below thebag, a transverse pivot bar journalled in said frame, a leg rigid with said pivot bar for swinging from a folded position alongside of the bag to an unfolded position at an angle thereto, and an arm rigid with said pivot bar and engaged with the slidable leg so as to translate a, receding movement of the slidable leg into an opening movement of the swingable leg. 7
