Title: Head frame for club-bagging device

Description:
FIELD OF INVENTION 
   The present invention relates to a club-bagging device including a bag and a head frame formed with a plurality of lugs for engagement with hooks. 
   BACKGROUND OF INVENTION 
   Referring to  FIG. 6 , a conventional club-bagging device includes a bag  1  and a head frame  2  installed on the bag  1 . A shoulder strap  3  is sewn on the bag  1 . A strap  4  is inserted through a ring  5 . Two ends of the strap  4  are sewn on the bag  1 . A hook  6  is sewn on a towel. The hook  6  can be engaged with the ring  5 . Thus, the towel is attached to the bag  1 . Two ends of a strap  7  are sewn on the bag  1 . Thus, a loop is formed by the strap  7 . A tie  8  is inserted through the loop formed by the strap  7 . A locking element  9  is installed on the tie  8 . The tie  8  and the locking element  9  are used to hold an umbrella for example. However, the sewing of the straps  3 ,  4  and  7  on the bag  1  is troublesome and provides inadequate strength. 
   The present invention is therefore intended to obviate or at least alleviate the problems encountered in the prior art.

   DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENT 
   Referring to  FIGS. 1 and 2 , in accordance with the preferred embodiment of the present invention, a club-bagging device includes a head frame  10  and a bag  20  on which the head frame  10  is installed. 
   A first lug  11 , a second lug  12 , a third lug  13 , a fourth lug  14  and a handle  15  are formed on the head frame  10  during molding of the head frame  10 . 
   Referring to  FIG. 3 , the head frame  10  includes a lower portion  16  and an upper portion  17 . The lower portion  16  of the head frame  10  is put in the bag  10 . The lower portion  16  of the head frame  10  may be attached to the bag  10  by rivets (not shown). The lugs  11 ,  12 ,  13  and  14  and the handle  15  are formed on the upper portion  17  of the head frame  10 . A cloth  30  is used to conceal the head frame  10 . The cloth  30  includes a first portion  31  and a second portion  32 . Several cutouts  33  are defined in the first portion  31  of the  30 . 
   Referring to  FIG. 4 , the cloth  30  is put on the head frame  10  so that the first portion  31  of the cloth  30  is located on an external side of the head frame  10  while the second portion  32  is located on an internal side of the head frame  10 . The lugs  11 ,  12 ,  13  and  14  and the handle  15  are put in the cutouts  33 . The cloth  30  may be attached to the head frame  10  by rivets (not numbered). 
   Referring to  FIG. 5 , a shoulder strap  34  includes a lower end and an upper end. The lower end of the shoulder strap  34  is sewed on the bag  20 . The upper end of the shoulder strap  34  is inserted though a slot defined in the first lug  11  and sewn on another portion of the shoulder strap  34 . Thus, the strap  34  is attached to the club-bagging device. 
   A towel  35  is connected with a hook  36 . The hook  36  can be engaged with the second lug  12 . Thus, the towel  35  is attached to the head frame  10  in a releasable manner. 
   Two tees  37  are inserted in two apertures defined in the third lug  13  so that the tees  37  are attached to the head frame  10  in a releasable manner. 
   A tie  38  includes two portions. The fourth lug  14  defines two apertures through each of which each of the portions of the tie  38  is inserted. A locking element  39  is installed on the portions of the tie  38 . The tie  38  and the locking element  39  are used to hold an umbrella  40  for example. 
   Although the invention has been explained in relation to the preferred embodiment, modifications and variations can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as hereinafter claimed.
