Abstract:
1. A golfing system for allowing a golfer to transport a lesser number of golf clubs in an attachable golf bag to a location remote from a main golf bag with a greater number of golf clubs comprising, in combination: an attachable golf bag having a hollow upper tube with a free upper end and an exterior peripheral surface, the attachable golf bag having a hollow lower tube with a free lower end and an exterior peripheral surface, the tubes having parallel linear side edges about 5 inches in length with semicircular end edges about 2 inches in diameter whereby an opening having a major length of about 7 inches and a major width of about 2 inches is thus formed for receiving golf clubs and providing an area of about 13 square inches for receiving up to 10 golf clubs, the attachable golf bag having a pair of rods preferably fabricated of metal with limited flexibility, the rods are about 7 inches apart and join the end edges of the upper and lower tubes to hold the tubes and form an attachable golf bag about 34 inches in height, about 5 times the major length, plus or minus 10 percent and about 17 times the major width, plus or minus 10 percent, and a cloth cover encompassing the peripheral surfaces of the tubes and the area there between and the lower end of the lower tube; a pocket attached to the cover in proximity to the lower tube adapted to carry golf balls and tees and other items of interest to a golfer, and a handle attached to the cover in proximity to the upper tube to facilitate carrying the attachable golf bag, and rings secured to the upper and lower tubes on opposite sides of the handle for removably receiving a carrying strap; a leg assembly including an upper support, the upper support having a pair of recesses which each have a major axis and the axises of the recesses intersect at a point, the upper support being attached to the upper tube on a side of the cover opposite from the pocket with a pair of legs having upper ends pivotally secured to the upper support at a location spaced downwardly from the upper end of the upper tube free lower ends at a location spaced upwardly from the lower end of the lower tube, the legs being adapted to move between a retracted orientation adjacent to the cover and an extended orientation remote from the cover, the legs having upper extents and lower extents with a bend there between, the upper extents adapted to converge from their upper ends when in the retracted orientation and to diverge from adjacent to the bend when in the extended orientation, the lower extents adapted to be essentially parallel when in the retracted orientation and to diverge when in the extended orientation, and a strap of a hook and loop fastener secured to the cover beneath the upper support in proximity to the lower tube with a separable section adapted to secure the legs when in a retracted orientation, and a V-shaped bracket having free ends pivotally attached to the legs adjacent to the bend and a central pivot point movable between a linear horizontal position when in an extended orientation and an overlapping essentially vertical position when in a retracted orientation, the legs being pivotable with respect to the upper support remote from the cover to create a downwardly facing attachment space for securement to a main golf bag; an essentially rigid hook in an inverted U-shaped orientation having an interior component secured to the upper tube opposite from the upper support and an exterior leg spaced from cover to create a downwardly facing attachment space; and a main golf bag having an upper end with an opening having an area of greater than 36 square inches, greater than 150 percent of the area of the upper tube of the attachable golf bag, for receiving a larger number of golf clubs than the attachable golf bag, and a closed lower end for supporting a larger number of golf clubs, the main golf bag having a first side with a pocket and an opposite second side, the opening at the second side adapted to removably receive, in a first position, the legs of the attachable golf bag and, in a second position, the exterior leg of the hook.
