  • Patent number: 4054256
    Abstract: A support for supporting a golf bag in a position on a supporting surface wherein the golf bag is at an angle of less than 90.degree. with respect to the supporting surface. The support is removably secured on the golf bag. When not being used, the support lays flat against an upright golf bag. When it is desired to use such support, the golf bag is lowered by pivoting the bottom end of the bag on the supporting surface, the support at the upper end of the bag swinging under gravity outwardly away from the golf bag and, in outer position, supports the golf bag on a supporting surface in inclined positin without the necessity of manually locking the support in position. When it is desired to release such support, it moves under gravity back into position against the golf bag as the bag is raised without the necessity of manually releasing the support.
