  • Patent number: 7093883
    Abstract: An improved canopy assembly is provided for a rearwardly extending protective canopy for a motorized golf cart of the type having a top covering the passenger seating area and an uncovered bag storage area located rearward of the seating area. The canopy assembly may be extended where the protective canopy substantially covers the cart's golf bag storage area protecting the bags from rainfall. The canopy assembly may be folded where the protective canopy is moved out of the way allowing golf clubs to be removed from the golf bags without hitting the canopy assembly. In an embodiment of the present invention, the canopy includes a releasable fastener for allowing the upper front edge of the canopy to be attached to the lower bottom edge to retain the canopy in the folded position. A protective flap is used to cover the folded canopy, protecting it from weathering elements when it is not in use.
