  • Patent number: 9770636
    Abstract: A rear wheel interlock folding mechanism of a golf bag cart is revealed. An upper frame is fixed on an upper-frame connecting rod connected to a lower frame. A rear-wheel connecting rod is fixed on the lower frame and behind the upper-frame connecting rod. A rear-wheel set is set on each end of the rear-wheel connecting rod. The rear-wheel set includes a fixing base fixed on the rear-wheel connecting rod, a bending base pivotally connected to the fixing base, a rear wheel pivotally disposed on the outer end of the bending base, a rotating seat fixed on the upper-frame connecting rod and a link between the bending base and the rotating seat. Thereby the bending base is also moved to drive the rear wheel moving close to the lower frame when the upper frame is folded toward the lower frame. Thus the golf bag cart is folded conveniently.

  • Patent number: 9371082
    Abstract: A rotating positioning member of a front wheel of a golf trolley is revealed. A front wheel set is disposed at a front end of a lower frame and including a front wheel base fixed on the lower frame, a front wheel frame, and a front wheel pivotally connected to the front wheel frame. The front wheel base is mounted with an inclined guide slot. A connecting rod is formed on the front wheel frame and pivotally connected to the inclined guide slot. Thus the connecting rod drives the front wheel frame to rotate 90 degrees and the front wheel frame further drives the front wheel to horizontally lean against the lower frame when the front wheel frame is rotated toward the lower frame in the inclined guide slot due to the connecting rod. Thus the golf trolley is easy to fold up for storage.

  • Patent number: 7237795
    Abstract: A folding mechanism of a golf cart includes a fixed member secured to a middle rod part of a golf cart frame, first and second moving members joined to upper and lower rod parts of the frame respectively, and a spring-biased pivotal plate. The moving members each have a toothed portion, which has an engaging protrusion at one end. The toothed portion of the first moving member further has a stop portion. The moving members are pivoted to the fixed member, and engaged with each other such that angular displacement of one of the moving members will cause angular displacement of the other. The golf cart will be fixed in a stretched position when the engaging protrusions engage. The pivotal plate is normally in a first position, in which position the front end thereof will engage the toothed portion of the first moving member to prevent the golf cart from folding.
