Abstract: A canopy system for a cart, such as a golf cart has a canopy supported by a support member, and a housing having an opening through which at least a portion of the canopy may extend when the canopy is deployed.

Abstract: The invention may be embodied in as a canopy system for a vehicle, such as a golf cart. The invention may include nested support members and/or a housing.

Abstract: The invention may be embodied as a cart canopy housing having a canopy storage portion, a roof engaging portion and a side panel portion extending from the roof engaging portion and from the canopy storage portion so as to enable partial concealment of a roof support when the housing is installed on a cart. The invention may also be embodied as a cart roof having a cover portion, a canopy storage portion, and a side panel portion extending from the cover portion and the canopy storage portion so as to enable partial concealment of a roof support when the cover portion is installed on a cart.

Abstract: A support frame for a cart canopy and a method of supporting a cart canopy are shown. The support frame may have a pivotable support bar and a foundation bar. The foundation bar may be connected to the support bar so as to allow the support bar to pivot from the foundation bar. The foundation bar may have a first end and a second end, wherein the first end has a first curved portion to which a first end of the pivotable support bar may be attached. The first end of the foundation bar may have a first step portion positioned proximate to the first curved portion, and the first step portion may be oriented to raise the elevation of the first end.

Abstract: A device for allowing air to circulate is disclosed. An embodiment of the device has a base having an arcuate first side and a second side. The second side has a rib extending from the second side. The device also has a means for attaching the base to a hat. An alternative embodiment of the device is a vent having a first anchoring surface and a second anchoring surface. A truss extends from the first anchoring surface to the second anchoring surface. The devices described above may be used in a hat to allow air circulation. Another embodiment of the present invention is a vented hat having a corrugated head band. Finally, a method making a vented hat is disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a golf bag cover device which is mounted over and about a rim surrounding the opening leading into a golf bag to protect the clubs from inclement weather and the like. The cover device comprises three ribs connected to a base mounted about to the rim. The ribs support a canvas or plastic cover. One of the ribs extends in a generally horizontal orientation beyond the perimeter of the rim. That way, a golfer can reach up and into the open end, causing the one rib to pivot toward a second rib which in turn pivots toward a third rib to provide access to the clubs. This construction enables a golfer to grab a club without having to touch the palm of his hand to the cover, thereby providing a dry and secure grip on the club.

Abstract: A protective canopy attachment for a motorized golf cart of the type having an uncovered rear compartment within which golf bags and clubs are positioned during use of the cart utilizes frame members attachable to the cart and a canopy assembly movably secured to the frame members. The canopy assembly includes a pair of brackets pivotally connected to the frame members and a flexible cover section which is draped across portions of the brackets. The brackets are movable relative to the frame members between an operative condition at which the cover section is arranged in a taut condition across the rear compartment for protecting bags and clubs positioned therein and a non-operative condition at which the cover section is arranged in a limp, out-of-the-way condition so as not to obstruct the withdrawal of clubs from the bags.
