Abstract:
A golfer-carried golf bag comprising a first golf bag-supporting shoulder strap with opposite ends, connecting means at selected specified upper and lower locations for connecting an end of said first strap adjacent an upper end of a golf bag and a lower end adjacent a lower golf bag end, said connecting means locations being selected to orient said first strap in a loop configuration in spanning relation between said connecting means, a second golf bag-supporting shoulder strap with opposite ends, connecting means at said same specified upper and lower locations for connecting an end of said second strap adjacent the upper end of said golf bag and the lower end adjacent the lower golf bag end, said connecting means locations being selected to orient said second strap in a loop configuration opposite to that of said first strap, a strap-crossing site in a medial location of a back of a golfer at which said first and second straps cross and are in contact with each other, and operatively disposed at said strap-crossing site a one-piece buckle having a planar, substantially rectangular body delimited on opposite sides by first and second edges bounding therebetween first and second rectangular slots each parallel to a long dimension of said rectangular body, a length portion of said first strap having an operative position threaded in an angular direction through said first and second rectangular slots so as to have a portion thereof in overlying relation upon said body, said centrally located body delimited by third and fourth edges bounding therebetween third and fourth curvilinear slots wherein each of said first and second slots, defining an axis along the length thereof such that each said axis intersects each of said curvilinear slots a length portion of said second strap having an operative position threaded in a crossing angular direction through said third and fourth curvilinear slots so as to have a portion thereof in overlying relation to said portion of said first strap upon said body, whereby said second and first straps in said superposed relation upon said body are conjointly held against slippage by said curvilinear slots.
