RELATED APPLICATION: PROVISIONAL PATENT APPLICATION NO. 63/206,085. l hereby claim benefit of the filing date of my provisional application No 63/206,085, filed on January 27th, 2021.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present Invention relates to transporting golf clubs on a golf course using a baby stroller, allowing adults to enjoy the game of golf with young children.

RELATED ART AND BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Playing golf is an activity that typically takes two to four hours to play. For players spending many hours at work and then spending those additional hours at a golf course lend to missing out on the few hours available for family time. Until now, there has not been a safe, efficient, and fun way to walk a round of golf with young children.

Children are most comfortable going on walks in their strollers. Strollers have the proper seating and harnesses as well as comfort amenities like shade, cup holders for children as well as adults, and trays for snacks. We have created a tool to bring golf, parents, and young children together conveniently using the stroller your child is comfortable in, while also bringing your golf clubs with in a convenient and efficient way.

DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES

With reference to the detailed description of the invention, the following is a brief description of the figures.

FIG. 1 shows the Invention from an isometric viewpoint. Each carabiner and/or hook and loop strap will connect to one of the two semi-circle eyelet openings which have openings perpendicular to the circular openings. The eyelet openings are located on the bottom left of the frame relative to the figure seen. This figure does not show the hook and loop straps or carabiners.

FIG. 2 shows the front of the Invention’s frame. This perspective shows the frame in a parallel direction of the openings where a golfer’s clubs will be placed through. Represented at the top of the figure are the eyelets for which the straps and/or carabiners will connect to. This figure does not show the hook and loop straps or carabiners. The eyelets can also be located on the side with the four holes (represented on this figure as the bottom). This would flip the orientation of the holes / triangle frame making the four-hole row the top and the two-hole row the bottom.

FIG. 3 shows the side of the Invention’s frame. In this figure you can see the side profile of the eyelets where the hook and loop straps and/or carabiners connect to. This figure does not show the hook and loop straps or carabiners.

FIG. 4 shows the top of the Invention’s frame. Here you can see relative widths of the Invention versus the top portion of the invention, for this frame shape. This figure does not show the hook and loop straps or carabiner.

FIG. 5 shows the front of the Invention while connected to a stroller’s horizontal handlebar or push bar. The Invention is connected to the handlebar or push bar using two hook and loop straps. This figure shows the hook and loop straps and carabiners connected to the frame’s eyelets. The circular openings seen in this figure are used to hold individual golf clubs.

FIG. 6 shows the side of the Invention while connected to a stroller’s horizontal handlebar or push bar. The Invention is connected to the handlebar or push bar using two hook and loop straps. This figure shows the hook and loop straps and carabiners connected to the frame’s eyelets. The circular openings seen in this figure are used to hold individual golf clubs.

FIG. 7 shows the front of the Invention while connected to a stroller’s horizontal handlebar or push bar. The Invention is connected to the handlebar using two hook and loop straps. Behind the golf club heads the hook and loop straps and carabiners are connected to the frame’s eyelets. This figure also shows the clubs placed through the circular openings and supported by the frame’s circular openings as designed. The grip end of the golf clubs can be seen being supported by the stroller’s undercarriage storage basket.

FIG. 8 shows the side of the Invention while connected to a stroller’s horizontal handlebar or push bar. The Invention is connected to the handlebar or push bar using two hook and loop straps. This figure shows the hook and loop straps and carabiners connected to the Invention’s eyelets. This figure also shows the clubs placed through the circular openings and supported by the frame’s circular openings as designed. The grip ends of the golf clubs can be seen being supported by the stroller’s undercarriage storage basket.

FIG. 9 shows the front view of a possible hexagon frame shape. Cross hatching on the figure represents solid webbing between the frame openings. Openings do not necessarily need to be circular. Openings can be most shapes including triangles, squares, rectangles, or ovals. This figure does not show eyelets for attaching hook and loop strap and/or carabiner.

FIG. 10 shows the front view of a possible square frame shape. Cross hatching on the figure represents solid webbing between the frame openings. Openings do not necessarily need to be circular. Openings can be most shapes including triangles, squares, rectangles, or ovals. This figure does not show eyelets for attaching hook and loop strap and/or carabiner.

FIG. 11 shows the front view of a possible circular frame shape. Cross hatching on the figure represents solid webbing between the frame openings. Openings do not necessarily need to be rectangular. Openings can be most shapes including triangles, squares, rectangles, or ovals. This figure does not show eyelets for attaching hook and loop strap and/or carabiner.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF INNOVATION

The present Invention is an apparatus used to transport golf clubs in an organized, efficient, and safe manner while attached to a stroller, baby buggy, or carriage. The Invention is comprised of two hook and loop straps made of fabric, leather, textile, rubber, or similar material each having a carabiner or equivalent quick release fastener, then attached to a frame which will hold golf clubs.

There are two attachment portions (eyelets, through hole, hook, tab, eyeholes) located on top of the frame. The eyelets are used to connect the frame to the straps. Below the eyelets, the frame has six (6) to fourteen (14) openings that golf clubs are placed through and supported. The frame can be constructed of plastic, rubber, metal, wood, or similar composite preferably rigid. The diameter of the openings can range from .75 inches to 2 inches in diameter. The width of the frame (width as measured by the thickness of the frame as seen in FIG. 3) can range from 0.5 inches to 4 inches.

The Invention is attached to and supported by a stroller’s horizontal handlebar or push bar. The Invention’s two hook and loop straps wrap around the stroller’s horizontal handlebar or push bar with the remainder of the Invention hanging below. A carabiner will be sewn, woven, or wrapped within the hook and loop strap. The carabiner will be used as the connection to the frame below. An alternate method of attaching the hook and loop straps to the frame is having the eyelets attached directly to the straps, bypassing the need of a carabiner, or having the carabiner attach directly to the frame and the stroller handlebar, bypassing the need of hook and loop straps. In the instance of bypassing either the hook and loop strap or the carabiner the eyelets should be rotated 90 degrees. In addition, the eyelets could be located on the sides of the frame.

The frame will hang from the horizontal handlebar or push bar supported by the hook and loop strap. As seen in FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, golf clubs are slid through the frame openings grip end first.

The Invention is then used to carry a golfer’s clubs in an organized, efficient, and safe manner.
