Definitions

  • This invention relates to a golf bag assembly.
  • Golf is a very popular game, which is played throughout the world.
  • golf clubs are generally carried around the course in an elongate golf bag, which is either carried by the player or transported on a trolley.
  • a disadvantage of golf bags is that there is limited space for storage and for accessories.
  • a golf bag assembly comprising an elongate first compartment having a tubular side, wall which is open at its first end and closed at its second end by an end wall, and a second compartment mounted end-to-end with said first compartment at said second end thereof.
  • the elongate first compartment is used in the conventional manner to store golf clubs etc.
  • the second compartment can be used to store other items or it can house an accessory, as will be explained hereinafter.
  • the second compartment is provided at the end of the golf bag assembly, which in use is positioned at the lower end thereof and does not significantly increase the bulk of the assembly, compared with a conventional bag.
  • the second compartment comprises a tubular sidewall and a lower end wall, the tubular sidewall preferably extending generally concentrically with the tubular sidewall of the first compartment.
  • the second compartment is formed of a rigid material such as plastics.
  • the second compartment is separable from the first compartment.
  • locking means may provided for securely locking the two compartments together.
  • the first compartment may merely stand on the second compartment when the two compartments are mounted together on a golf trolley.
  • the second compartment preferably comprises a socket into which the end wall of the first compartment can be inserted.
  • a third compartment may be mounted at the opposite end of the second compartment to the first compartment.
  • the third compartment is preferably of a similar construction to the second compartment.
  • the second compartment may conveniently house means for cleaning the head of a golf club.
  • an aperture is provided in the sidewall of the second compartment, said club cleaning means being positioned behind said aperture, so that the golfer merely has to insert the club to be cleaned through the aperture.
  • the club cleaning means comprises one or more brushes which are preferably rotated, for example by an electric motor.
  • a battery for the motor may be disposed inside the second compartment.
  • the motor may comprise a connection for connecting to the battery of an electric golf trolley.
  • means are provided inside the housing for energising the motor upon insertion of a club through the aperture.
  • Golfers need a good supply of golf balls, especially when practising. Generally golfers keep a supply of balls in a pocket of their golf bag along with other items. However, a disadvantage of this is that it can often be difficult to find a good ball and once a ball is found, the golfer then has to bend down to place the ball on the ground.
  • the second compartment may comprise a store for golf balls, means being provided on a sidewall of the compartment for dispensing balls from the store.
  • the second compartment comprises means for storing the balls in a row behind said dispensing means.
  • Preferably means are provided for biasing the balls towards the dispensing means.
  • the golf bag assembly may comprise a first compartment for holding golf clubs and a second compartment which houses either the golf club cleaning means or the ball storing and dispensing means.
  • the golf bag assembly may comprise a first compartment for holding golf clubs and a second and a third compartment respectively housing the club cleaning means and the ball storing and dispensing means, or vice-versa.
  • the second and third compartments maybe formed as a single unit, alternatively, they maybe modular with the golfer being able to purchase either the club cleaning means or the ball storing and dispensing means, and then purchase the other at a later stage.
  • Figure 1 is a side view of a portion of a golf bag assembly in accordance with this invention.
  • Figure 2 is a longitudinal section of view through the assembly of Figure 1 ;
  • Figure 3 is a perspective view showing the internal components of a golf ball storage and dispensing device of the assembly of Figure 1 ;
  • Figure 4 is a perspective view showing the internal components of a golf club cleaning device of the assembly of Figure 1 .
  • a golf bag assembly comprising a conventional golf bag 10 having a tubular side wall 1 1 formed of flexible material such as plastics or leather, which is open at its upper end and closed at its lower end by a circular base 12 of rigid plastics material.
  • the lower end of the bag 10 is mounted to a device 13 for storing and dispensing golf balls e.g. 14.
  • the device 13 comprises an enclosure of rigid plastics material having a cylindrical side wall 15, which is closed at its upper and lower ends by respective end walls 16, 17.
  • the upper end of the sidewall 15 of the enclosure extends upwardly beyond the upper end wall 16 to define a socket on the top of the enclosure in which the circular base 12 of the golf bag 10 is received.
  • the lower end of the sidewall 15 of the enclosure is turned inwardly and then downwardly to define a complementary shape to the bottom of the enclosure, which can fit into a socket provided on the top of an enclosure of another device.
  • a circular aperture 18 is formed in the sidewall 15 of the housing, through which golf balls can be loaded into and dispensed from the device 13.
  • a gate member 19 is slidably mounted to the exterior of the sidewall 15 of the device, over the aperture 18, for movement between open and closed positions. An aperture is provided in the member 19, which registers with the aperture 18 in the sidewall 15 of the device when the member 19 is in its open position. In its closed position, the member 19 closes the aperture 18 in the sidewall 15 of the device.
  • the interior of the device 13 for storing and dispensing golf balls comprises a spirally wound coil spring 20, which is rigidly secured at its inner end to a post 21 .
  • the outer end of the spring 20 is bent through substantially 90 degrees to define a portion 22, which extends radially of the enclosure.
  • a guide member 23 is disposed inside the enclosure adjacent the aperture 18 to guide the inserted balls 14 in a direction which extends circumferentially of the side wall 15 of the enclosure against the radially- extending outer end portion 22 of the spring 20.
  • the insertion of balls 14 thus acts on the radially-extending outer end portion 22 of the spring 20 to wind the spring in a direction which biases the balls 14 in a circumferential direction towards the aperture 18 and against the guide member 23.
  • the gate member 19 When the gate member 19 is in its closed position, the balls 14 are unable to escape through the aperture under the applied spring bias. However, when the gate member 19 is in its open position, the balls 14 are dispensed in a controlled manner through the aperture 18.
  • the device 13 for storing and dispensing golf balls is mounted at the lower end of the golf bag assembly and is thus positioned adjacent the floor when the assembly is mounted on a trolley.
  • an actuator 24 is preferably provided on the gate member 19 to enable it to be moved between the open and closed positions using a golf club.
  • the assembly further comprises a device 25 for cleaning the heads of golf clubs mounted below the device 13 for storing and dispensing golf balls.
  • the device 25 also comprises an enclosure of rigid plastics material having a cylindrical side wall 26, which is closed at its upper and lower ends by respective end walls 27, 28.
  • the upper end of the sidewall 26 of the enclosure extends upwardly beyond the upper end wall 27 to define a socket on the top of the enclosure.
  • the lower end of the sidewall 28 of the enclosure is turned inwardly and then downwardly to define a complementary shape to the bottom of the enclosure, which can fit into a socket provided on the top of an enclosure of another device.
  • An aperture 18 is formed in the sidewall 26 of the housing, through which the heads of golf clubs can be inserted into the device for cleaning.
  • the interior of the device 25 for cleaning the heads of golf clubs comprises a pair of brushes 30 which are rotatably mounted side-by-side adjacent the aperture 29.
  • the brushes 30 are driven by an electric motor 31 , which is connected to the brushes 30 by a drive belt 32.
  • a sensor (not shown) is mounted adjacent the aperture 29 to actuate the motor 31 when the head of a club is inserted through the aperture 29 between the brushes 30.
  • the resultant rotation of the brushes 30 acts to clean the club.
  • a golf bag assembly in accordance with this invention provides the golfer with the convenient facility to store golf balls and to clean golf clubs without a significant increase in bulk compared with a conventional golf bag.
  • the bag 10, the ball storage device 13 and the club cleaning device 25 are merely held together on a trolley by the action of gravity.
  • straps or catches could be provided to hold the assembly together, perhaps so that the assembly can be carried instead of transported on a trolley.
  • the modular nature of the devices 13, 25 means that the golfer can choose how the devices are positioned in relation to each other or which device or devices are used: it is envisaged that other devices such as storage devices or devices comprising other accessories could be provided for purchase.
