Abstract: A combination golf ball pick-up and teeing device providing means for simplifying and improving a golfers practice routine. The pick-up and teeing device comprises a needle mounted for reciprocal movement within a shaft. One end of the shaft is placed into engagement with a golf ball and the needle pressed into it for releasably securing the ball to the shaft end for ball pick-up. The pick-up and teeing device can then be used to transfer the picked-up ball onto a mounted tee.

Abstract: A combined golf bag and cart mechanism in which the bag and cart are permanently coupled to one another. The bag provides a rigid support for the cart and is provided with a cavity. The cart is movable between a retracted position in which the cart wholly nests within the cavity, and an extended position in which the cart supports the bag for transport. The cart has a pair of substantially elliptically shaped wheels, and an orienting device for maintaining the wheels in planes parallel to the axis of the cavity in both the retracted and extended positions of the cart.

Abstract: A safety closure for a container which is very difficult or virtually impossible for a child to open but can be easily opened by an adult. The safety closure and container are preferably integrally molded as one piece, and the closure comprises a cap adapted to be secured to the opening of the container by a snap-latch. The cap is released from the container by an inclined ramp on the container adjacent the outer periphery of a rim on the cap. In the method for opening the safety closure, the leading end of the inclined ramp is manually pressed inwardly by a thumb or the like toward the center of the cap and underneath the cap rim. While in this position, the thumb is progressively slid along the container causing the inclined ramp on the container to progressively cam the cap upwardly overcoming the snap-latch and releasing the cap.
