  • Publication number: 20050075189
    Abstract: Golf shoes are proposed which make it possible for particularly senior golfers whose lower body has weakened to perform a correct swing during a downswing. A sealed bag formed of vinyl is fixed to a portion of a midsole in surface contact with the sole of a shoe. A hand pump and a release valve are connected to the sealed bag through a vinyl tube. When the shoes are put on with the sealed bag inflated by injecting air into it by operating the hand pump, the portion of the little toe rises. When a swing is performed in this state, even when the body weight moves at the time of a downswing or an impact, due to the rise of the portion of the little toe by inflation of the sealed bag, even a senior golfer can make a correct swing by standing firm on his left foot. When air is released from the sealed bag, normal walking is possible.

  • Publication number: 20020112378
    Abstract: Golf shoes are proposed which make it possible for particularly senior golfers whose lower half body has weakened to make a correct swing during a downswing. A sealed bag formed of a vinyl is fixed to a portion of a midsole in surface contact with the foot sole of a shoe. A hand pump and a release valve are connected to the sealed bag through a vinyl tube. When the shoes are put on with the sealed bag inflated by injecting air into it by operating the hand pump, the portion of the little toe rises. When a swing is made in this state, even when the body weight moves at the time of a downswing or an impact, due to the rise of the portion of the little toe by inflation of the sealed bag, even a senior golfer can make a right swing by standing firm on his left foot. When air is released from the sealed bag, normal walking is possible.

  • Patent number: 6299183
    Abstract: A golf bag which can be moved easily by a player or a caddie. Wheels are mounted to the bottom of the body of the golf bag such that when the bag is stood erect on a flat surface, the golf bag is supported on the bottom of the body alone with the wheels not in contact with the flat surface, or on both the bottom and the wheels, and that when the body is inclined in a predetermined direction by a predetermined angle, the bag is supported on the wheels alone. In this state, the bag can be moved by rolling. A retractable handle may be attached to the body for easy carrying.

  • Patent number: 5779042
    Abstract: A golf bag having a flap for protecting the golf clubs therein from rain. The flap is designed such that it will not be an obstacle when clubs are inserted into or taken out of the bag when it is not raining. The golf bag has a cylindrical body having a top opening covered by a flap. The flap is inclined relative to the axis of the cylindrical body. The interior of the body is partitioned into three spaces by two sheets. Each of putters and irons are placed in one of the spaces of the smallest and medium depths whose depth is nearer to the length of each of the putters and irons so that the putters and irons will not bounce in the bag. The flap is formed with holes right over the third space. A resin pipe is fitted in each hole through which the shaft of a wood can pass. A wood head cover is secured to the protruding end of each resin pipe.
