Abstract: A rideable golf bag cart/cycle (10) is a personal riding golf cart/cycle adapted to transport a single rider (13) and a golf bag (12) for use on a golf course. The cart/cycle (10) is generally symmetrical about a longitudinal plane (16) and includes a frame (18) with a seat (20), a front wheel and steering components (22), a rear wheel (24), an inclined bag support structure (26) extending between the legs of the rider (13), and a motor/control subassembly (28). A collapsed mode (30) in some embodiments is achieved by folding down the handlebars (72) and pivoting the running boards (56) up against the frame (16). An enhanced embodiment (118) includes a canopy (122) and a deluxe multifunctional console (124).

Abstract: An expandable top collar system (10) for a golf bag (12) is provided for providing one or more expandable apertures (36) facilitating a smaller lateral aspect collapsed mode (14) and a larger aspect expanded mode (16). The system (10) includes expansion means (37) and securing means (49) associated with each expandable aperture (36) so as to define the degree of aspect expansion.

Abstract: A hip belt system (10) for a golf bag (14) is provided for transferring a portion of the weight of the bag (14) during carrying to the hips of the user by way of a hip belt member (12). The system (10) includes the belt member (12) and a longitudinally aligned sleeve (24) secured to the tubular body (16) of the golf bag (14). The belt member (12) includes a central portion (32) for extending through the sleeve (24) and a pair of tapered portions (34) extending respectively to a first belt end (28) and a second belt end (30). The belt ends (28 and 30) are provided with releasable fasteners (36 and 38) for mating with each other to provide for quick fastening and unfastening. Length adjusters (44) are provided on the belt ends in order to adjust the total length of the belt member (12) to fit the waist of the user. The belt member (12) is removable from the sleeve (24) for storage when the hip belt support is not desired.

Abstract: A golf bag and strap system for supporting a golf bag, having a central hub including a number of arms. Each arm has at least one attachment point to which straps are connected. The arms include upper arms and lower arms, and upper straps are attached to the upper arms, and lower straps are attached to the lower arms. Each attachment point preferably includes a D-ring. The central hub also preferably includes a padded portion having a raised portion which acts as a center of rotation for movement of the central hub.
