  • Publication number: 20120261908
    Abstract: The golf bag cart includes a central base, a bottom cart stand, an upper cart stand, a wheel support, a first linkage, a second linkage, and a lock mechanism. The bottom cart stand has a top end fastened to the central base, a bottom end coupled with a front wheel, and a slider. The upper cart stand has a bottom end pivotally connected with the central base. Two wheel supports, disposed respectively and inclinedly at two sides of the central base, are joined with a steel wire to form a structure similar to a triangle. The first linkage connects the upper cart stand and the slider. The second linkage connects the slider and the wheel support. The lock mechanism mounted on the top end of the slider enables the upper cart stand and the bottom cart stand to lock with each other.

  • Patent number: 8226110
    Abstract: A baby stroller foldable joint includes a joint mechanism having a top frame joint, a bottom frame joint and a rear wheel frame joint connecting to the top frame, the bottom frame and the rear wheel frame respectively. Each frame joint is provided with a breach at its rim, and the breaches are aligned with one another. The joint mechanism has a gear set in its interior. A control mechanism has a slider flexible to move back and forth, driving a flexible block through a linkage, for the purpose of clasping or separating the breaches of the frame joints, to accomplish expansion or folding of the frame. By aforesaid combination, expansion or folding of the frame can be simultaneous and accomplished at one go, and expansion can even be locked automatically, to make the manipulation handy and swift.

  • Patent number: 8226112
    Abstract: A foldable device of golf bag cart comprises: an upper cart stand, a bottom cart stand and a linkage set. The upper cart stand, having an adapter that is provided with a slider on its top, is provided with a slider mount at each of the two distant ends above and below the slider. The bottom cart stand is in pinned connection with the adapter at its top. The linkage set, made up of a plurality of linkages, forms links between the slider and the bottom cart stand, between the adapter and the rear wheel frame and between the bottom cart stand and the front wheel frame. By means of the setup of such links, the simultaneous unfolding or folding of the upper cart stand, the bottom cart stand, the front wheel and the rear wheels can thus be accomplished, which facilitates the handiness in use.

  • Patent number: 8205723
    Abstract: A brake apparatus for carts with three or more wheels such as golf bag carts, baby strollers and the like includes a hand brake control assembly fixed on the cart frame and having a body and a lug in pinned connection with the body. Brake activation can be done through a pull on the lug. On the other hand, brake release is achieved by pressing springy pushbuttons on both sides of the lug to escape the clipping pin from the indent. A brake pole set, fixed on a rear wheel axle tube, is capable of offering a buffer mechanism, which avoids potential destruction to the wheel. A brake wire enables easy operation and achieves an automatic lock during braking, which substantially prevents the lapse of releasing the brake by the user.

  • Patent number: 8146879
    Abstract: An umbrella holder includes a hollow tube for placing an umbrella handle. A fixing mechanism assembled is on the hollow tube and has a rotary button with a threaded rod screwed with a fixing block in the tube for tightening or releasing the umbrella handle, with a stop plate positioning the threaded rod of the rotary button. A first angle-adjusting mechanism is positioned under the hollow tube and has an immovable geared disk and a movable geared disk mounted on a rotary base and has an eccentric actuating member to engage or disengage the immovable and the movable geared disks. The holder also has a second angle-adjusting mechanism assembled under the first angle-adjusting mechanism and having an immovable geared disk with a fixed shaft and a movable geared disk disposed on a base having an eccentric actuating member for engaging or disengaging the immovable and the movable geared disks of the second angle-adjusting mechanism.

  • Patent number: 8128104
    Abstract: A golf bag cart front wheel foldable device includes a fixed mount, a movable mount and a front wheel frame. The fixed mount has one end connected to the bottom tube of the cart frame and the other end provided with a fitted end. The fitted end is in pinned connection with a buckle at its one side. The movable mount is capable of being seized by the buckle and is joined fixedly to the fixed mount by a hinge. The movable mount has one end provided with a fitted end which is physically in harmony with the fixed mount. The front wheel frame has a top end connected fixedly to the movable mount, while its bottom end is joined to the front wheel. Through loosening of the buckle, the movable mount is not seized, which enables the movable mount and the front wheel frame to rotate with respect to the hinge, and the front wheel is then leveled for folding purposes, to achieve great handiness in maneuvering.

  • Patent number: 8104777
    Abstract: A golf cart collapsible device includes a frame folding articulation mounted between an upper frame and a lower frame for folding the upper frame, a frame collapsing articulation mounted on the lower frame for folding the lower frame, a rear wheel frame mounted between the frame folding articulation and a rear wheel, a first pull bar mounted between the frame folding articulation and the rear wheel frame for folding the rear wheel, a front wheel folding articulation mounted between the lower frame and a front wheel frame for folding a front wheel, and a second pull bar mounted between the rear wheel frame and the front wheel folding articulation. Thus, the front wheel and the at least one rear wheel are folded simultaneously by linking of the first pull bar and the second pull bar.

  • Patent number: 7965011
    Abstract: A brushless DC motor structure with a constant ratio of multiple rotor poles to slots of the stator is disclosed, which is characterized primarily by forming the stator of the motor by multiple ferromagnetic silicon steel sheets, where the ferromagnetic silicon steel sheets are provided with the multiple slots whose number is a multiple of 15, and the stator of the motor is formed by windings of the three phases, X, Y, and Z. Each phase includes 2 to 4 phase portions and each group has 5 slots. The rotor of the motor is made up of a plurality of arced magnets which are fixed orderly and equally along a ferromagnetic steel ring, and the radial direction of each arced magnet is opposite to that of the adjacent magnetic poles. An arced magnet represents a magnetic pole, and the number of the magnetic poles is a multiple of 14 or 16. By means of the aforementioned setting, the reduction of the cogging torque of the motor is achievable.

  • Patent number: 7866685
    Abstract: A golf cart collapsible device includes a frame folding articulation, a linking mechanism, a four-bar linkages mechanism, a front wheel, two rear wheels and a locking mechanism. Thus, the front wheel and the rear wheels are folded and expanded simultaneously by driving the upper frame, so that the golf cart is folded and expanded easily, quickly and conveniently. In addition, the front wheel and the rear wheels can be folded and expanded simultaneously, so that the user needs not to hunker or bend his/her body to fold and expand the front wheel individually, thereby greatly facilitating the user folding and expanding the golf cart.
