Definitions
- the present invention relates to a golf cart, and more particularly to a golf cart provided with a placing portion on which a golf bag can be placed and a step on which a person can ride.
- Patent Document 1 describes a golf cart including a row of seats and a bag placement frame provided behind the seats.
- the bag placement frame is provided so as to extend rearward and obliquely upward from above the rear wheel.
- the golf bag can be supported by being tilted rearward by the bag placement frame.
- a golfer or a caddy hereinafter referred to as a golfer or the like
- a golfer or the like can easily take out the golf club from the golf bag supported by the bag placement frame.
- a small golf cart having a single row seat like the golf cart of Patent Document 1 has a small number of passengers (for example, two people). Therefore, in such a small golf cart, a step for placing a golfer or the like on the rear portion of the golf cart may be provided.
- a step for placing a golfer or the like on the rear portion of the golf cart may be provided.
- the step is provided in the golf cart of Patent Document 1, it is considered that the step is provided behind the rear wheel and below the bag placement frame.
- the bag mounting frame is provided so as to extend rearward and obliquely upward from above the rear wheel as described above. For this reason, when a step is provided below the bag placement frame, the bag placement frame and the golf bag are in the way, making it difficult for a golfer or the like to step on the step.
- the dimension in the front-rear direction of the step must be sufficiently large. Specifically, the step must be extended to the rear sufficiently beyond the rear end of the bag placement frame.
- the size of the golf cart in the front-rear direction increases, and the golf cart cannot be made compact.
- a main object of the present invention is to provide a small-sized golf cart having a mounting portion and a step and capable of easily taking out a golf club from a golf bag.
- a frame portion a seat portion supported by the frame portion, a pair of front wheels provided in front of the seat portion, and a pair of front tires attached to the pair of front wheels, , A pair of rear wheels provided behind the seat part, a pair of rear tires attached to the pair of rear wheels, a step supported by the frame part and extending rearward from the pair of rear tires, and supporting the bottom part of the golf bag
- a golf cart provided below the tangent line to the front of each rotation center.
- a step is provided so as to extend rearward from the pair of rear tires, and a placement portion is provided in front of each rotation center of the pair of rear wheels.
- the step and the mounting portion are provided so as to sandwich the rotation centers of the pair of rear wheels in a side view.
- the mounting portion is provided below the tangent line of each rear tire that passes above the respective rotation centers of the pair of rear wheels and passes through the rear end of the seat portion in a side view.
- the placement portion can be disposed at a sufficiently low position. Thereby, the position of the upper end part of a golf bag can be made low even if it does not incline a golf bag large back. As a result, a golfer or the like can easily take out the golf club from the golf bag.
- the front end of the placement portion is positioned in front of the rear end of the seat portion.
- the size of the golf cart in the front-rear direction can be reduced.
- the size of the step in the width direction of the golf cart is smaller than the distance between the outer ends of the pair of rear tires and larger than the distance between the inner ends of the pair of rear tires. In this case, it is possible to sufficiently secure the area of the step in plan view while preventing the step from becoming too large. Thereby, a golfer or the like can easily get on the step without increasing the size in the front-rear direction of the step, and prevents contact with a person or an object passing by the golf cart when traveling (or Can be suppressed).

It is provided behind and behind the rear ends of the pair of rear tires. In this case, since the support portion that supports the upper portion of the golf bag is provided above and behind the placement portion that supports the bottom portion of the golf bag, the golf bag can be tilted rearward. Thereby, a golfer etc. can take out a golf club from a golf bag still more easily. In addition, since the support portion is provided in front of the rear ends of the pair of rear tires, it is possible to prevent the position of the upper portion of the golf bag from being excessively rearward. Thereby, when a golfer etc. get on a step, it can fully suppress that a golf bag becomes obstructive.
- the roof portion and the rear end of the support portion do not overlap in plan view.
- the rear end of the support portion that supports the upper portion of the golf bag can be exposed from the roof portion in plan view. Therefore, when a golfer etc. take out a golf club from a golf bag, a roof part does not become obstructive.
- the mounting part faces rearward and obliquely upward.
- the mounting portion that supports the bottom portion of the golf bag is directed rearward and obliquely upward, the golf bag can be easily tilted rearward.
- a mounting portion is provided in front of each of the pair of rear tires. In this case, since two golf bags can be distributed and arranged, each golfer can easily take out the golf club from his golf bag.

Abstract
Description
ゴルフカート10では、リアタイヤ22a,22bよりも後方まで延びるようにステップ24が設けられ、リアホイール20a,20bの回転中心R1,R2よりも前方に載置部72a,72bが設けられる。言い換えると、側面視において回転中心R1,R2を間に挟むようにステップ24および載置部72a,72bが設けられる。このようにステップ24および載置部72a,72bを配置することによって、ゴルファー等がステップ24に乗る際に載置部72a,72bおよびゴルフバッグ92a,92bが邪魔にならない。これにより、ステップ24の前後方向の寸法を大きくしなくても、ゴルファー等は容易にステップ24に乗ることができる。したがって、ゴルフカート10を小型に構成できる。また、載置部72a,72bは、側面視において、回転中心R1,R2の上方を通りかつシート部14の後端を通るリアタイヤ22a,22bの接線L1,L2よりも下方に設けられる。この場合、載置部72a,72bを十分に低い位置に配置できる。これにより、ゴルフバッグ92a,92bを後方に大きく傾けなくてもゴルフバッグ92a,92bの上端部の位置を低くできる。その結果、ゴルファー等はゴルフバッグ92a,92bからゴルフクラブを容易に取り出すことができる。 Hereinafter, the effect of the
