Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the technical field of motorized trolleys for the transport of bags containing golf clubs.
  • a golf course can be variable dimensioned; a single fairway comprising only one hole can extend several hundred metres, therefore accomplishing the 18 holes can imply long walks, during which golfers have to bring their heavy and cumbersome bag of golf clubs with them.
  • the bag of golf clubs can be carried over one's shoulder or can be carried on a suitable trolley, which has to be dragged by the golfer; in both cases however, transporting the bag of golf clubs on the fairways of the golf course can be difficult and the golfer can get tired in advance.
  • motorized trolleys generally of electrical type, for transporting the bag of golf clubs.
  • the golfer can drive the electrical trolley without fatigue, walking on the fairways of the golf course between the strokes.
  • golf courses supply hirable electrical vehicles (golf carts) for the transport of more golfers and their bags containing the golf clubs; in this case, the golfer goes across the fairways of the golf course on board of the electrical vehicle.
  • hirable electrical vehicles golf carts
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a motorized trolley, which is reliable, functional, safe and compact and whose costs are relatively reduced with respect to the advantages, which it is intended to pursue.
  • Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a motorized trolley, which is practical and modular, so that the user can disassemble it in several separate modules in order to facilitate its transport, for example in a car.
  • a motorized trolley for the combined transport of a person and a bag of golf clubs, of the type comprising: said motor; a supply of said motor; rolling members driven by said motor, said trolley being characterized in that it comprises: a seat apt to accommodate and to bear at least an user; a housing apt to accommodate at least a bag of golf clubs; a steering mechanism, comprising the steering column; and a control element, actively connected to said steering column, the control element allowing said at least one user to drive said trolley while walking or on board of the same.
  • FIG. 1 shows a prospective view of the motorized trolley according to the present invention
  • figure 3 shows the trolley of figure 1 in a cross-sectional schematic view.
  • the motorized trolley is indicated in its entirety by the general reference number 100 and comprises: a not shown motor, for example of electrical type, which is arranged in a case 20 provided in the rear portion A of the trolley 100; a battery supply, not shown as well, arranged for example in the housing compartment of the central box- type portion 1 of the trolley 100; two motive wheels 2, 3 rotated by the electrical motor and arranged in the rear portion A of the trolley 100, at the sides of the case 20: a front wheel 4 arranged in the front portion B of the trolley 100; a steering mechanism 5 connected to the front wheel 4, comprising a steering column 6; a control element 7 connected to the steering column 6, comprising a handlebar 21; a housing 8 apt to accommodate the bag of golf clubs (not indicated), which comprises a support 9 to place the bag of golf clubs and a hook 10 to stably hold the same bag placed on the support 9; and a seat 11 apt to accommodate and to bear an user, arranged in the rear portion A of the trolley
  • the steering column 6 is inclined and comprised in a tubular protection element 22.
  • the trolley 100 comprises also a tubular stiffening element 23, which connects the tubular protection element 22 to the case 20 of the motor.
  • the seat 11 is a footboard supported by the frame of the trolley 100 and movable between two positions, that is to say a retracted position in which the footboard 11 is arranged at least partially beneath the case 20 (position not shown in the figures) and a taken out position E (see for example figure 4) in which the footboard 11 projects from the profile of the trolley 100 to receive an user standing on the same.
  • the footboard 11 can be moved manually by the user or can be electrically driven by means of a second not shown electrical motor.
  • the control element 7 comprises also a not shown control panel to control regulating means (not shown as well) of the electrical motor power, in order to modulate the running speed of the electrical trolley 100; in the following, for simplicity, it is supposed to replace the control panel with suitable means integrated in the handlebar 21.
  • the inventive motorized trolley 100 can be used in two distinct ways.
  • the user is on board of the trolley 100, resting on the footboard 11 which is in the taken out position E: the handlebar 21 and the control means are so positioned to allow the user to easily and safely drive the trolley 100.
  • the electrical trolley functions as an electrical vehicle for the transport of the golfer and his bag of golf clubs.
  • this second way of usage is equivalent to that of a conventionally designed electrical trolley, intended only for the transport of the bag of the golf clubs, as the golfer walks across the fairways of the golf course.
  • the present invention is advantageous in that it provides a motorized trolley for the combined transport of a person and a bag of golf clubs, which solves the drawbacks reported in the beginning, satisfying successfully the prefixed aims; combined transport of a person and a bag of golf clubs suggests therefore the possibility to use the motorized trolley 100 according to the two above-mentioned ways, to allow the transport of the golfer and his bag of golf clubs (first way of usage) or of the bag of golf clubs alone (second way of usage).
  • the motorized trolley 100 is very versatile and suitable to meet the needs of a remarkable number of golfers; by way of example, in fact, the golfer can begin the round of golf walking on the fairways (second way of usage of the trolley 100); then, for example, he can get on board of the trolley 100, because of tiredness, and drive it as an electrical vehicle (first above-described way of usage) for at least a portion of the round.
  • the inventive trolley 100 is therefore a valid help for the golfer, as it allows him to enjoy his round of golf in a relaxing way, since the golfer can get on board of the trolley or drive it while walking at any time and without difficulties.
  • the present invention is also advantageous in that it provides a reliable, safe, functional, compact, motorized trolley, which is little cumbersome and whose costs are relatively reduced with respect to the attained advantages.
  • Yet another advantage of the invention is to provide a motorized trolley which can be disassembled in several separate modules, to allow an easy transport of the disassembled trolley, for example, in cars of middle-small dimensions; disassembling and assembling the motorized trolley are particularly easy operations and therefore the user is able to perform them without using particular means.
  • the guide element 7 can be configured also in different ways, for example as a guide bar (not shown) of determined length, actively connected to the steering column 6, provided with a handle in which are integrated the means regulating the running speed of the trolley 100.
  • the footboard 11 is fixed in the taken out position E and supports a seat.
  • the inventive trolley can be configured according to a not shown embodiment for the combined transport of more than a user and bags of golf clubs.
  • the trolley 100 can be designed with greater side dimensions, for example providing greater dimensioned footboard 11 and support 9 for the bags.
  • Another embodiment does not provide the central box-type portion 1 ; in such a case the batteries are integrated in the tubular protection element 22, which is so dimensioned to contain them, in order to optimize the distribution of the weights of the trolley 100 (motor in the rear portion A, batteries in the front portion B).
