FIELD OF THE INVENTIONThe present invention is related to golf bags and assembly method thereof, and particularly to an easily-assembled golf bag and assembly method thereof.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONAt present, there are generally two kinds of golf bags, one is golf cart bag, and the other is golf stand bag. The golf cart bag is generally put on a golf cart, which comprises a head frame on its top, a bottom and a bag body having support stays or board to connect the bottom with the head frame. The head frame, the bottom and the bag body are integrally connected inherently. The golf bag with stand utilizes the stand to support the golf bag, which is convenient for user to take and place the golf bag. However, because the head frame and the bottom of both the golf bags are made of hard material so that the golf bag cannot be folded and also cannot be assembled by user himself. Thus, the traditional golf bags not only take a large space so as to increase the cost of transportation and storage, but also not satisfy the user's desire to assemble the golf bag by himself.
Hence it is desired to provide a golf bag and an assembly method which can overcome the foregoing drawbacks of the prior art.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONA main object of the present invention is to provide a golf bag which is easily assembled and has a small occupying space after being disassembled so it is convenient for transportation and storage. Another object of the present invention is to provide an assembly method of the golf bag.
A golf bag of the present invention comprises a bottom, a bag body, and a head frame; wherein two frames are provided on both ends of the bag body, each of which has a rabbet for mounting a stay; and the two frames of the bag body are connected with the bottom and the head frame in a detachable manner.
In an embodiment, the two frames of the bag body is made of elastic material. There are a plurality of protrusions formed on inner sidewall of the two frames, and a plurality of notches respectively formed on outer sidewalls of the head frame and the bottom for receiving the protrusions of the two frames. In another embodiment, there are a plurality of notches formed on inner sidewall of the two frames, and a plurality of protrusions respectively formed on outer sidewalls of the head frame and the bottom for being inserted into the notches of the two frames.
In an embodiment, each of the two frames has its bottom overturned inwardly to form a U-shaped slot for receiving a bottom end of the head frame or a top end of the bottom. In a first embodiment, there are at least one sockets formed on outer sidewall of the frame matched with the head frame, a stand has its top end inserted into the at least one sockets so as to connect with the frame. In a second embodiment, at least one elastic tongues are provided on outer sidewall of the frame matched with the head frame, and at least one gaps are formed between the frame and at least one the elastic tongues, the stand has its top end inserted into the at least one gaps.
In an embodiment, a plurality of Velcro tapes are provided on inner sidewall of the frame to bond with a plurality of Velcro tapes on end of the bag body. A plurality of extended protrusions are provided on sidewall of the head frame where is matched with the frame having the elastic tongues. The golf bag has a full length divider on which top two Velcro tapes are provided, one of the Velcro tapes is bonded with the other Velcro tape after rounding a divider rail of the head frame; a plurality of the Velcro tapes are provided on a bottom surface of a bottom of the full length divider, which are bonded with a plurality of Velcro tapes of the bottom.
An assembly method of the above golf bag, which comprises the steps of: (A) connecting the bottom with the frame of the bag body; (B) connecting a lower end of the stand with the bottom, and connecting a top end of the stand with the frame of the bag body; (C) connecting the head frame with the frame of the bag body.
In an embodiment, the stay can be mounted on the bag body before or after the step A, B or C. In another embodiment, the method further comprising a step that a full length divider has its top end to wrap a divider rail of the head frame and bonded therewith; and then a plurality of Velcro tapes on a bottom of the full length divider is bonded with many pieces of Velcro tapes on the bottom. The Velcro tapes are bonded on the top of the full length divider by sewing. In another embodiment, the full length divider may be end on the head frame by sewing without Velcro tapes.
Because the golf bag of the invention has its head frame, bottom and bag body connected with each other in a detachable manner, so the golf bag can be disassembled and folded so as to lessen occupying space thereof when being transportation and storage. In addition, the assembly method and structure also satisfy the user's desire to assemble the golf bag by himself. Furthermore, the golf bag cannot be damaged even after assembling or disassembling for many times. Also, the components of the golf bag of the invention are easily replaced.
For the purpose of making the invention easier to understand, some particular embodiments thereof will now be described with reference to the appended drawings in which:
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
Referring now to the drawings in detail, as shown in
In the present invention, referring to
Referring to
In anther embodiment, the tongue 22 can be changed into a socket, a same effect will be attained by inserting the top end 61 of the stand 6 into the socket.
Referring to
In addition, the golf bag has a full length divider 7 on which top two Velcro tapes 71 and 72 are provided. The Velcro tape 71 is bonded with the Velcro tape 72 after rounding a divider rail 33 of the head frame 3. Also, a plurality of the Velcro tapes 73 are provided on a bottom surface of a bottom 74 of the full length divider 7, which are bonded with the Velcro tapes 12 of the bottom l so as to divide the bag body 2 into a plurality of individual spaces.
The golf bag of the present invention can be assembled as the follows: (A) firstly, connecting the bottom 1 with the frame 4 of the bag body 2; then (B) connecting the lower end of the stand 6 with the bottom 1, and connecting the top end of the stand 6 with the frame 4 of the bag body 2; (C) connecting the head frame 3 with the frame 4 of the bag body 2.
