Patented Jan. 12, 1932 PATENT OFFICE MURRAY D. GALLAGHER, OF BAY CITY, MICHIGAN GOLF BAG Application filed February 24, 1930. Serial No. 430,598.
he invent-ion relates to golf bags, and more specifically to means for supporting the bag in an upright position on the ground when the player is executing a stroke.
One of the objects of the invention is to design golf bag provided with foldable legs, which, when the bag is lowered to the ground, automatically open to brace the bag in upright position, and which fold snugly against the bag when it is picked up and be ing carried.
Another object is to provide a simple, inexpensive. and convenient bag having a plurality of individual openings in which the respective golf clubs are inserted, and provided simple and convenient means in the bag for carrying extra balls which ran be readily removed when desired.
A further object is to design an inexpensive golf bag which can be formed of any suit ble material, which will be of neat and pleasing appearance, which obviates the necessity of stooping down to raise the bag after a shot has been made, and which provides a separate socket for each individual club.
The above and other objects will appear as the specification progresses, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which I have shown the preferred embodiment of my invention, and in which like reference numerals indicate like parts throughout the several views thereof.
In the drawings.
Fig. 1 is a side elevation of my improved golf bag in a self-standing position.
Fig. 2 is a top plan view thereof. Fig. 3 is a vertical sectional view. Fig. 4 is an enlarged edge view of the ball cage.
Fig. 5 is a front view thereof.
Referring now more particularly to the drawings, the numeral 5 indicates the golf bag, this can be of pressed fiber, wood, metal, or m rely a plurality of tubes suitably secured together in proper relation. Spaced apart ears 6 are formed integral with or can be secured to the bag, and arms 7 are pivotally secured thereto by means of pins 8, the outer end of said arms being bifurcated and one end of a leg member 9 is pivotally secured therebetween by means of a pin 10, the opposite end of said legs being pivotally secured between spaced apart ears 11 provided on a sleeve 12 by means of pins 13, any d sired number of legs can be provi d, but i find the four as shown provide a vci y stable and convenient support.
A latch 1% is formed integral with the sleeve 12, the free end being formed as clearly shown in Fig. 3 of he drawings, and when the legs are in position as shown in l" this latch engages a pin 15 and secures LllQ sleeve in proper position.
A flexible bag strap 16 is riveted to the turned lip 17 of the latch, thence being cured to a throat strap 18 at the point 19, ends of the throat strap being anchored the legs 9, the opposite end of the sti o thence leads to the lower end of the bag and is secured thereto at the point 20, a handle 21 being provided in position shown, and will be clearly obvious that when the golfer grasps the handle and raises the bag, that the legs will fold neatly and snugly against the side walls thereof, and as clearly shown in dotted linesin Fig. 1 of the drawings.
Acentrally disposed opening22 is provided in the bag, and a ball cage 23 is mounted therein, the lower end of said opening being of reduced diameter and forming a shoulder 2d on which the cage rests, said cage being formed as clearly shown in Figs. 4 and 5 of the drawings, the lower end 25 being sli htly disked so that the golf balls 26 nest thereon, the upper end 27 overhanging the balls and has a turned lip to facilitate the manipulation thereof.
One end of a spring 28 is anchored to the lower end of the cage holder, the opposite end being anchored to a transversely disposed pin 29, provided in the bag, so that the cage is resiliently held in position, and when it is desired to remove a ball, the cage is pulled up as indicated by the dotted lines in Fig. 3, and when released the spring draws it back into position.
A plurality of sockets 30 surround the opening 22 and are adapted to receive individual clubs, the sockets being of various depths to suit the lengths of the club. There are no sharp projections on the bag or legs to gouge or mar the greens, and the bag readily lends itself to storage Without tangling or mixing of clubs.
From the foregoing description it will be obvious that I have perfected a very simple, practical, neat, and inexpensive self-supporting golf bag.
\Vhat I claim is 1. The combination With a golf bag, of a sleeve slidably mounted thereon, legs pivotally connected to said sleeve and foldable against said bag, a resilient latch depending from the sleeve and adapted to engage a pin on the bag, and a bag strap anchored to the said latch and the bag for automatically releasing said latch when the bag is raised.
2. The combination with a golf bag having a plurality of individual club sockets therein, a sleeve slidably mounted thereon, legs pivotally connected thereto to brace the bag in an upright position on the ground, a resilient locking member depending from the sleeve, a pin on the bag and engageable by said locking member, and a flexible bag strap anchored to said locking member and to the bag respectively for automatically releasing the locking member raising the sleeve and folding the legs when the bag is raised from the ground.
3. The combination With a golf bag having a plurality of individual club sockets therein, a sleeve slidably mounted on said bag and provided with a resilient locking member, a projection on the bag and adapted to be engaged by said member, legs pivotally secured to said ring and to the bag, and a flexible bag strap anchored to said locking member and bag respectively for automatically disengaging said locking and folding said legs against the bag When it is raised from the ground. 7
4. The combination with a golf bag, of a sleeve slidably mounted thereon, spaced apartlegs pivotally connected to said sleeve and bag and adapted to brace said bag in an upright position on the ground, a resilient latch depending from the sleeve, a pin on the bag and engageable by said latch, a throat strap anchored to said legs, and a bag strap anchored to the latch throat strap and bag respectively for folding said legs against the bag when it is raised from the ground.
In testimony whereof I hereunto afiix my signature.
MURRAY D. GALLAGHER.
