Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method of manufacturing a camshaft. Particularly, the present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a camshaft which includes a single sintering operation and a brazing operation, thus reducing the time for manufacturing.

Abstract: A golf bag having a body and support legs pivotally attached to the body and actuated by an actuator shaft which is partially hidden inside the body. The actuator shaft is actuated by an actuator assembly comprising a base member and an actuator plate. When the bag is tilted, the actuator plate cooperates with the actuator shaft to cause the legs to pivot away from the bag body to form a support for the bag. The actuator mechanism and the lower portion of the actuator shaft are located inside the golf bag body.

Abstract: A golf bag with a support stand has a bag body, a base member coupled to and enclosing a lower portion of the bag body. The base member has a first plate and a second plate pivotally coupled to each other. The golf bag further includes a mount which is secured to the golf bag and has a first set of engaging members. The legs of the support stand has a second set of engaging members. The legs are respectively and pivotally attached to the first set of engaging members of the mount. The golf bag also has an actuating member which has lower and upper members. The upper member is pivotally connected to the second set of engaging members of the legs. The lower member is coupled to the first plate of the base member so that when the first plate is at an angle with respect to the second plate, the actuating member actuates the legs to an extended position. The first and second plates of the base member are connected with at least one hinge. The first plate has a first wall and the second plate has a second wall.

Abstract: A dual shoulder strap device attachable to a standard golf bag to allow a golfer to carry the golf bag centered on his back. For example, the dual shoulder strap device is made from a single piece to prevent twisting and entangling of the two separate shoulder straps. Alternatively, the dual shoulder straps are connected to tracks built into a coupler, in which the tracks allow the shoulder straps to be adjustable to the differing widths of the golfer's shoulders.

Abstract: A golf bag according to present invention comprises a bag body, a support stand assembly and a base plate. The bag body has a lower member which has an inclined bottom surface for easy tilting of the bag in relation to the base plate. The none inclined bottom surface of the lower member and the base plate provides a sufficiently large contact area with the ground to provide stable support for the tilted golf bag even on uneven or sloped surface. The golf bag also includes a resilient support spine mounted to the bag body for installing the support stand assembly. The support stand may be mounted either in the interior or on the exterior of the golf bag.
