- the handle 2 has a spike 6 extending beyond its lower end a projection 8 adapted to be engaged by the foot to push the spike 6 into the ground.
- the projection 8 is generally U-shaped and comprises legs 10 and 12, FIG. 11, which diverge toward the handle 2.
- the extremity 14 of the leg 12 is bent at an angle thereto so that it is generally parallel with the leg 10.
- the leg 10 and the extremity 14 extend through openings 16 and 18, respectively, in the, handle 2.
- the end of the extremity l4 abuts the spike 6.
- the leg portion 10 extends farther into the handle 2 than the extremity l4 and is notched, as indicated at 20.
- Theupper end of the spike 6 has a tapered groove 22 that terminates under a head 24, thus providing a notch, the purpose of which will be explained later.
- the projection 8 and spike 6 are preferably made from cold rolled steel and nickelplated or otherwise treated to resist corrosion.
- An upper ring 26 is mounted on the handle 2 near its upper end, and a lower ring 28 is mounted on the handle adjacent its lower end. Both rings are identical and a description of one will suffice for both.
- the upper ring 26 and the manner in which it is inserted and locked in the handle 2 are illustrated in FIGS. 12 to 15, inclusive.
- the ring 26 is preferably made from cold rolled steel and has end portions 29 and 31 that are straight and terminate in ends 30 and 32 that are sharply bent at an angle of about 90- relative to the adjacent straight positions 29 and 31 of the ring, so that they diverge outwardly from each other, as shown in FIG. 12, prior to mounting.
- the ends 30 and 32 are also bent in opposite directions on an angle of about 45to the plane of the main body portion of the ring. Thus, as viewed in FIG. 12, the end 30 is bent downwardly and the end 32 is bent upwardly.
- the handle 2 has openings 30a and 32a for receiving the ends 30 and 32, respectively, ofthe ring 26.
- the ring In order to mount the ring with the diverging ends 30 and 32 extending through the openings 30a and 320, it is necessary to compress the rings so that the end portions thereof partially overlap, as illustrated in FIG. 13. Next, it is necessary to first insert the end 30 into the opening 30a and then to manipulate the ring to insert the end 32 into the opening 32a or vice versa, as illustrated in FIG. 14. It will be noted that the end portions 30 and 32 of the ring are still in overlapping relation and that at this time, the ends 30 and 32 converge toward each other.
- the body of the ring is twisted clockwise through an angle of 180so that the ring assumes the position shown in FIG. with its ends 30 and 32 spaced apart. It will be noted that the ends 30 and 32 of the ring have now been restored to their original diverging relation; and bearing in mind that the end 30 extends downwardly and the end 32 extends upwardly, the ring 26 is effectively locked so that it cannot be pulled out of the openings 30a and 32a.
- the lower ring 28 has ends 34 and 36, FIGS. 4 and 10, that extend through openings 34a and 36a in the handle 2 in the region of the head 24 of the spike 6.
- a cylindrical, tight-fitting plug 38 Prior to mounting the upper ring 26 on the handle 2, a cylindrical, tight-fitting plug 38, FIG. 6, is inserted into the handle 2 to a point below the openings 30a and 32a, as shown.
- the plug 38 can be made from wood, felt, or any suitable material.
- the ring 26 is then mounted on the handle 2 in the manner described above.
- the ring 26 is held by a jig or other means (not shown) so that it lies in a plane perpendicular to the handle 2.
- Molten lead, or reclaimed type metal, 40 is then poured into the handle 2 in an amount such that it completely covers the utldS 30 and 32 of the ring 26 and is then allowed to cool and solidify.
- the plug 38 holds the metal 40 in place until it cools and forms a solid body of anchoring metal.
- the upper end of the handle 2 can then be closed by a plastic cap 41, FIGS. 1 and 2.
- a similar plug 42 is inserted into the handle 2 to a point inwardly of the opening 16, which receives the leg 10 of the foot projection 8, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 11.
- the ring 28 and the projection 8 are then mounted on the handle 2 which is then inverted.
- the lower ring 28 and the spike 6 are held in proper position in a jig (not shown) and molten metal 44 is then poured into the handle 2 until the cavity is filled.
- the metal 44 quickly cools and solidifies.
- the plug 42 functions in the same manner as the plug 38.
- the notch 20, previously referred to, is filled with the metal 44 so that the projection 8 cannot be pulled out of the handle 2.
- the recess 22 adjacent the head 24 of the spike is filled with the metal 44 to prevent the spike 6 from moving relative to the handle 2 as the spike is being forced into or withdrawn from the earth.
- the use of the metal bodies 40 and 44 provides a simple, easy, and inexpensive way of permanently anchoring the spike 6, projection 10, and rings 26 and 28 in the handle 2.
- the handle 2 has diametrically opposed openings 46 disposed above the anchoring metal 40, FIGS. 3 and 6, for the reception of the ends 48 of a stiff wire clip 50.
- a clip 52 is similarly mounted on the handle 2 at a point approximately medially of its length.
- the opposite ends of a carrying strip 54 are connected to the clips 50 and 52.
- the sleevelike bag 4 for receiving the golf clubs is constructed in the manner indicated in FIG. 8.
- the bag 4 comprises an oblong piece of fabric, leatherette, plastic, or other material, 56 to which a pleated pocket 58 is secured by stitching 60.
- the picket 58 may be made of the same material as the bag 4 and is adapted to receive golf balls, gloves, etc.
- the pocket 58 is closed by a conventional zipper 62.
- a second picket 64, open at its upper end 66, is secured to the bag material 56 above the pocket 58 by stitching 68.
- a band of reinforced plastic or other contrasting material 70 is positioned upon the sheet of bag material 56 at its lower transverse end and is secured thereto by stitching 72. This relationship is further shown in FIG.
- Band material having one finished side can be used and in such case, the band is sewn to the sheet 56 with its finished side outermost.
- a similar band 74 is secured to the upper end of the material 56 by stitching 76.
- the band 74 is illustrated in the position that it assumes after it has been stitched in place and positioned to form an extension of the bag material. As will be apparent from FIG. 9, when the band 74 is extended, the stitching 76 will lie on the inner side of the bag.
- the sheet of bag material 56 has longitudinal edges 78 and 80 that are overlapped in a conventional manner and sewn together by stitching 82 to form a sleevelike structure. Such stitching does not extend through either of the bands 70 or 74, since both bands are shorter in length than the width of the sheet 56.
- the stitching 82 is shown in FIGS. 3 and 4.
- the band 70 is providcd with two rows of spaced eyelets 84 and the band 74 is similarly provided with two rows of eyelets 86.
- the upper end of the sleevelike bag 4 is assembled with the ring 26 by first extending the band 74 to the position illustrated in FIGS. 8 and 9, whereupon the stitching 76 and the seam formed thereby are disposed inside the bag. This can readily be done since the ends of the band 74 are free.
- the upper end of the bag is then inserted into the ring 26 and the band material 74 is folded outwardly and downwardly over the ring 26 from the full-line position to the dot-and-dash line position shown in FIG. 9.
- the lower edge 88 of the band 74 will then be disposed at a level below the outer side of the seam formed by the stitching 76 and will conceal the same.

- the edge 88 of the band 74 may be pinked" to give it a decorative appearance, and to prevent raveling if the band 74 is made of fabric.
- the band 70 is manipulated and secured to the lower ring 28 by fasteners 92, in the same manner described for securing the band 74 to the upper ring 26.
- the bag 4 can be made of a single piece of suitable material and have its ends extended through the rings 26 and 28 and folded back in overlapping relation and the overlapped portions interconnected in the same manner as the bands 70 and 74.
- the outside diameter of the disc 94 is greater than the inside diameter of the ring 28.
- the disc 94 is confined in place by the bag 4 and is supported by the lower ring 2%.
- the disc 9d can be readily inserted through the bottom of the bag by slightly distorting the ring 28 to permit its entry into the bag.
- the eyelets M project inwardly above the disc 94 and prevent it from moving upwardly in the bag.

The leg portion 10 extends farther into the handle 2 than the extremity l4 and is notched, as indicated at 20. Theupper end of the spike 6 has a tapered groove 22 that terminates under a head 24, thus providing a notch, the purpose of which will be explained later. The projection 8 and spike 6 are preferably made from cold rolled steel and nickelplated or otherwise treated to resist corrosion.
An upper ring 26 is mounted on the handle 2 near its upper end, and a lower ring 28 is mounted on the handle adjacent its lower end. Both rings are identical and a description of one will suffice for both.
The upper ring 26 and the manner in which it is inserted and locked in the handle 2 are illustrated in FIGS. 12 to 15, inclusive. The ring 26 is preferably made from cold rolled steel and has end portions 29 and 31 that are straight and terminate in ends 30 and 32 that are sharply bent at an angle of about 90- relative to the adjacent straight positions 29 and 31 of the ring, so that they diverge outwardly from each other, as shown in FIG. 12, prior to mounting. The ends 30 and 32 are also bent in opposite directions on an angle of about 45to the plane of the main body portion of the ring. Thus, as viewed in FIG. 12, the end 30 is bent downwardly and the end 32 is bent upwardly.
The handle 2 has openings 30a and 32a for receiving the ends 30 and 32, respectively, ofthe ring 26. In order to mount the ring with the diverging ends 30 and 32 extending through the openings 30a and 320, it is necessary to compress the rings so that the end portions thereof partially overlap, as illustrated in FIG. 13. Next, it is necessary to first insert the end 30 into the opening 30a and then to manipulate the ring to insert the end 32 into the opening 32a or vice versa, as illustrated in FIG. 14. It will be noted that the end portions 30 and 32 of the ring are still in overlapping relation and that at this time, the ends 30 and 32 converge toward each other. To complete the mounting of the ring on the handle 2, the body of the ring is twisted clockwise through an angle of 180so that the ring assumes the position shown in FIG. with its ends 30 and 32 spaced apart. It will be noted that the ends 30 and 32 of the ring have now been restored to their original diverging relation; and bearing in mind that the end 30 extends downwardly and the end 32 extends upwardly, the ring 26 is effectively locked so that it cannot be pulled out of the openings 30a and 32a.
The lower ring 28 has ends 34 and 36, FIGS. 4 and 10, that extend through openings 34a and 36a in the handle 2 in the region of the head 24 of the spike 6.
Prior to mounting the upper ring 26 on the handle 2, a cylindrical, tight-fitting plug 38, FIG. 6, is inserted into the handle 2 to a point below the openings 30a and 32a, as shown. The plug 38 can be made from wood, felt, or any suitable material. The ring 26 is then mounted on the handle 2 in the manner described above. The ring 26 is held by a jig or other means (not shown) so that it lies in a plane perpendicular to the handle 2. Molten lead, or reclaimed type metal, 40 is then poured into the handle 2 in an amount such that it completely covers the utldS 30 and 32 of the ring 26 and is then allowed to cool and solidify. The plug 38 holds the metal 40 in place until it cools and forms a solid body of anchoring metal.
The upper end of the handle 2 can then be closed by a plastic cap 41, FIGS. 1 and 2.
Prior to mounting the lower ring 28 on the handle 2, a similar plug 42 is inserted into the handle 2 to a point inwardly of the opening 16, which receives the leg 10 of the foot projection 8, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 11. The ring 28 and the projection 8 are then mounted on the handle 2 which is then inverted. The lower ring 28 and the spike 6 are held in proper position in a jig (not shown) and molten metal 44 is then poured into the handle 2 until the cavity is filled. The metal 44 quickly cools and solidifies. The plug 42 functions in the same manner as the plug 38. The notch 20, previously referred to, is filled with the metal 44 so that the projection 8 cannot be pulled out of the handle 2. Likewise, the recess 22 adjacent the head 24 of the spike is filled with the metal 44 to prevent the spike 6 from moving relative to the handle 2 as the spike is being forced into or withdrawn from the earth. The use of the metal bodies 40 and 44 provides a simple, easy, and inexpensive way of permanently anchoring the spike 6, projection 10, and rings 26 and 28 in the handle 2.
The handle 2 has diametrically opposed openings 46 disposed above the anchoring metal 40, FIGS. 3 and 6, for the reception of the ends 48 of a stiff wire clip 50. A clip 52 is similarly mounted on the handle 2 at a point approximately medially of its length. The opposite ends of a carrying strip 54 are connected to the clips 50 and 52.
The sleevelike bag 4 for receiving the golf clubs is constructed in the manner indicated in FIG. 8. The bag 4 comprises an oblong piece of fabric, leatherette, plastic, or other material, 56 to which a pleated pocket 58 is secured by stitching 60. The picket 58 may be made of the same material as the bag 4 and is adapted to receive golf balls, gloves, etc. The pocket 58 is closed by a conventional zipper 62. A second picket 64, open at its upper end 66, is secured to the bag material 56 above the pocket 58 by stitching 68. In constructing the bag 4, a band of reinforced plastic or other contrasting material 70 is positioned upon the sheet of bag material 56 at its lower transverse end and is secured thereto by stitching 72. This relationship is further shown in FIG. 10. Band material having one finished side can be used and in such case, the band is sewn to the sheet 56 with its finished side outermost. A similar band 74 is secured to the upper end of the material 56 by stitching 76. However, the band 74 is illustrated in the position that it assumes after it has been stitched in place and positioned to form an extension of the bag material. As will be apparent from FIG. 9, when the band 74 is extended, the stitching 76 will lie on the inner side of the bag.
The sheet of bag material 56 has longitudinal edges 78 and 80 that are overlapped in a conventional manner and sewn together by stitching 82 to form a sleevelike structure. Such stitching does not extend through either of the bands 70 or 74, since both bands are shorter in length than the width of the sheet 56. The stitching 82 is shown in FIGS. 3 and 4.
ln one embodiment of the invention, the band 70 is providcd with two rows of spaced eyelets 84 and the band 74 is similarly provided with two rows of eyelets 86.
The upper end of the sleevelike bag 4 is assembled with the ring 26 by first extending the band 74 to the position illustrated in FIGS. 8 and 9, whereupon the stitching 76 and the seam formed thereby are disposed inside the bag. This can readily be done since the ends of the band 74 are free. The upper end of the bag is then inserted into the ring 26 and the band material 74 is folded outwardly and downwardly over the ring 26 from the full-line position to the dot-and-dash line position shown in FIG. 9. The lower edge 88 of the band 74 will then be disposed at a level below the outer side of the seam formed by the stitching 76 and will conceal the same. The eyelets 86 will then be aligned as illustrated in FIG. 9. Conventional brass paper fasteners 90 are inserted through the aligned eyelets, and the legs thereof are bent backwardly as shown in FIG. 3 to detachably secure the upper end of the bag 4 to the ring 26. The edge 88 of the band 74 may be pinked" to give it a decorative appearance, and to prevent raveling if the band 74 is made of fabric. When the band 74 is made of material having one finished side, that side will be exposed when the band is folded as described above, due to the initial positioning of the finished side outermost during the stitching of the band 74 to the sheet 56.
The band 70 is manipulated and secured to the lower ring 28 by fasteners 92, in the same manner described for securing the band 74 to the upper ring 26.
It will be understood that the bag 4 can be made ofa single piece of suitable material and have its ends extended through the rings 26 and 28 and folded back in overlapping relation and the overlapped portions interconnected in the same manner as the bands 70 and 74.
A disc, FIG. 5, stamped or cut from a sheet of pressed fiber board, plastic material, etc., serves as a bottom for the bag 4. The outside diameter of the disc 94 is greater than the inside diameter of the ring 28. As is shown in FIG. 5, the disc 94 is confined in place by the bag 4 and is supported by the lower ring 2%. The disc 9d can be readily inserted through the bottom of the bag by slightly distorting the ring 28 to permit its entry into the bag. The eyelets M project inwardly above the disc 94 and prevent it from moving upwardly in the bag.
it will be understood that the fasteners 90 and 92 are readily removable so that the bag it can be detached from the handle 2 to be cleaned and replaced or be replaced by a new bag. If a permanently mounted construction is desired, a band Ma, lFlG. lib, can be secured to the ring 26 by a plurality of hollow rivets 96. Alternatively, and as is shown in H6. U, a band 7451) can be secured to the ring 26 by stitching W. A waterproof adhesive may be used in lieu of either rivets or stitching. It will be understood that bands similar to the bands 74a and 7d!) are attached to the lower end of the bag d for like attachment to the lower ring 2%.
The golf bag construction described is very light in weight, particularly when the bag d is made from cloth. In this connection, the cloth used may be of any solid color, of have a design, such as polka-dot, floral print, stripes, geometric patterns, etc. The bag ll, regardless of the material from which it is made, can be readily removed for laundering, cleaning, or replacement, and this is a prime feature of the invention. The permanent mounting of the rings 26, 2%, the projection h, and the spike 6 on the handle 2, eliminates problems that would otherwise occur if these parts could become loose.
ln use, the bag can be carried by the strap 54. When a play is to be made, the golfer rests the spike s on the ground and drives it into the ground by foot pressure on the projection b. The bag will then be supported vertically and will remain so until the golfer grasps the handle 2 and pulls the spike 6 out of the ground.
It will be understood that various changes in the design and construction of the present golf bag can be made without departing from the principles of the invention.
