  • Removable automatic tripod legs for golf bags
    Patent number: 5634616
    Abstract: A tripod assembly for attachment to a golf bag includes two legs in a pivotal mount high on the bag which pivot out to form a tripod using the bag as one leg. The legs are controlled by a shoe attached to the ends of long spring rods coupled to the legs and a tilting of the bag lifts the shoe and spring rods to pivot out the legs. The legs are automatically returned to their position close to the bag when the bag is returned to the upright or lifted. The legs, springs and shoe are very quickly and easily removed for storage.
