  • Patent number: 6390295
    Abstract: A golf bag assemblage which includes an elongated container for golf clubs, a bottom unit pivotally attached to the bottom of the elongated container so that the bottom unit pivots in relation to the bottom of the elongated container, and leg means attached by attachment means to the outside of upper portion of the elongated container. The attachment means are positioned diametric to the pivotal attachment of the bottom unit, the leg means include legs which are pivotally attached to the attachment means, and the push rod means are attached to the top region of the legs and to the bottom unit diametric to the pivotal attachment of the bottom unit. When the golf bag is tilted in direction diametric to the pivotal attachment of the bottom unit, the bottom unit, in effect, pivots in relation to the bottom of the elongated container, and the push rod means is moved towards the top of the elongated container, thereby pivoting the legs outward.

  • Patent number: 5081789
    Abstract: A fly catcher device, which includes tong means which has two rigid arm segments pivotally joined on one end so as to normally be in an open position. The tong means is capable of being manually closed so that the two rigid arm segments are moved into contact with each other. The fly catcher device also includes two rigid arms. Each of the rigid arms are affixed in a removable manner to the other end of one of the rigid arm segments of the tong means. The fly catcher device further includes flexible bag means having an opening in one periphery portion thereof. Opposite sides of the bag means in the opening region thereof are affixed to the two rigid arm segments.

  • Patent number: 4594808
    Abstract: A light-weight, transparent, elongated enclosure generally in the shape of a trapezoidal member, has an opening at a bottom end and at a top end, the transparent material being resiliently deformable. Two generally planar sheets of material are used, and are in overlying relationship, and are fastened together along opposed edges thereof. Squeezing together of the longest sides of the trapezoidal member by manual operation results in deformation of the two overlying sheets away from each other. This results in a continuous opening from a large side of the trapezoid at the bottom through to a top, short, side of the trapezoid at the top.In operation, the fly catcher is squeezed manually to provide an opening as described above, and is then positioned above the fly to be caught. The fly, sensing the pressure due to movement of the sending fly catcher flies upwardly and into the cone-shaped opening formed by the fly catcher.

  • Patent number: 4509643
    Abstract: A combination of a collapsible golf bag and a reinforcing insert tube. The reinforcing insert tube is a flexible sheet rolled onto itself and positioned within the golf bag such that the lower end of the tube contacts the base bottom portion of the golf bag. The upper end of the tube is tucked between a flap of the upper open rigid annular portion of the golf bag and the flexible side wall of the golf bag. In this manner, the golf bag can be expanded by inserting the reinforcing insert tube into the bag to yield a self-supporting and rigid golf bag like that of the more conventional golf bags.
