  • Patent number: 6510927
    Abstract: A locking device for a rear wheel of a golf cart includes a control member disposed close to the handle of the golf cart, and a locking member disposed close to the inner side of one of a pair of rear wheels. The rear wheel is free to move when a detaining element engages with a movable element for the same to be away from the opening of a housing, thus causing a retreat of an engaging rod to a receiving hole. The rear wheel is locked at an immobile position, when the detaining element disengages from the movable element so as to allow the engaging rod to stick out to engage radially arranged protrusions on the inner side of the rear wheel.

  • Patent number: 6302430
    Abstract: A foldable golf cart includes a main support rod, a pair of wheel support rods, a connecting members, two connecting rods and a handle. The wheel support rods are pivoted to an intermediate portion of the main support rod, and each connected to a wheel. The connecting member is connected to an upper end of the main support rod. The handle is pivoted to an upper end portion of the main support rod. The connecting rods are each pivoted to the handle from one end, and pivoted to a respective one of the wheel support rods from other end. The handle has hooked portions separately engaging a depressing block of the connecting member. The handle is pivoted down to a folded position; thus, the connecting rods will at the same time move the wheel support rod to a folded position. The handle is pivoted upwards to an upright unfolded position; thus, the connecting rods will move the wheel support rods to an unfolded position.

  • Patent number: 6041986
    Abstract: A scoreboard for attachment to a golf trolley comprises an adjustment member and a holding member. The holding member is pivoted on the adjustment member. An adjustable pulling rod is movably passed through the adjustment member and urged by a spring. The pulling rod has a pulling part and engaging protrusions spaced apart on a rod portion opposite the pulling part. The holding member has confining parts and confining gaps on bottom. When the engaging protrusions engage the confining gaps, the holding member is located on a not-in-use position. And when the protrusions engage the confining parts, the holding member is located on an in-use position where the holding member forms a proper angle with the supporting shaft of the trolley. The adjustable pulling rod is pulled from the pulling part for disengaging the protrusions, and for permitting the holding member to be pivoted on the adjustment member.
