Abstract: A golf cart club rack device and method for carrying and securing a set of golf clubs on the rear portion of the golf cart. The rack has a horizontal upper panel having selectively spaced holes with vertical plastic tubes for positioning the clubs in a selective order. The rack also has a horizontal lower panel having similarly spaced recesses vertically aligned below the holes and tubes for holding the tubes at the bottom thereof. Quick-connect grip connectors adjustably connect the horizontal upper panel to two, rear-mounted, vertical, L-shaped posts. A two-piece transparent plastic cover is hinged to the horizontal upper panel and is latched to an upper extension of the two L-shaped posts.

Abstract: An automatic transportation system and the vehicles thereof for use, for example, in transporting golf clubs and related equipment around a golf course. The system includes U-shaped channel members embedded end-to-end in the ground provided with pulleys therein for guiding a closed cable therealong in a predetermined path, and a cart having a truck, a grip extending from the truck clampable to the cable so that the cart is pulled by the cable when the cable is moved along the path, a main wheel rotatably mounted to the truck centrally thereof for supporting the cart on the channel members, and a guide device mounted to the truck and extendable into the channel members for engaging the interior surface of the channel members to prevent the cart from falling over and preventing contact between the grip and the pulleys.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a canopy for vehicles, such as golf cars, which canopy is adapted for mounting on a plurality of upstanding support posts carried by a vehicle. The canopy includes brackets for mounting thereof on the vehicle support posts, a resilient, perimeter frame supported by the support brackets and having opposed arcuate end sections, which in their free form, lie in a generally horizontally, outwardly bowed relation to each other, and a flexible, water-repellent top mounted on the perimeter frame in a manner so as to distort the end sections upwardly from their free form and cause the end sections, in attempting to return to their free form, to apply multi-directional stresses on the top such that the top assumes a generally upwardly convex shape in cross section.
