DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Referring to the drawings and initially to FIG. 1, a detachable front wheel structure of a golf cart 1 in accor dance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises a main frame 10 having a lower portion provided with a front wheel frame 30 which is provided with a front wheel 40, and a quick release device 20 mounted between the main frame 10 and the front wheel frame 30 for mounting the front wheel frame 30 on the main frame 10 and detaching the front wheel frame 30 from the main frame 10 easily and rapidly. Referring to FIGS. 2-5, the quick release device 20 of detachable front wheel structure of a golf cart 1 in accor dance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention includes a connecting rod 21, a mounting member 22, a Spring 23, a push button 24, a rectangular sleeve 25, an outer mounting Seat 26, and an inverted U-shaped pad 27. The connecting rod 21 is mounted on a top edge of the front wheel frame 30, and is formed with a hollow receiving chamber 211. The connecting rod 21 has two side walls formed with two opposite through holes 212 communicated with the receiving chamber 211, and has a Surface formed with a circular hole 213 communicated with the receiving chamber 211. The mounting member 22 is mounted in the receiving chamber 211 of the connecting rod 21, and has a central Surface formed with a push button recess 221 aligned with the circular hole 213 of the connecting rod 21. The push button recess 221 of the mounting member 22 has a diameter the same as that of the circular hole 213 of the connecting rod 21. The mounting member 22 has a distal end provided with a resting end face 222. The spring 23 is mounted in the push button recess 221 of the mounting member 22. The push button 24 is mounted in the push button recess 221 of the mounting member 22, and may be protruded outward from the circular hole 213 of the connecting rod 21. The push button 24 is formed with a circular recess 242 for receiving the Spring 23, and has a bottom provided with an annular flange 241 received in the circular hole 213 of the connecting rod 21. The rectangular Sleeve 25 is mounted on the connecting rod 21, and has a Surface formed with a circular hole 252 aligned with the circular hole 213 of the connecting rod 21. The circular hole 252 of the rectangular sleeve 25 has a diameter Smaller than that of the circular hole 213 of the connecting rod 21. The rectangular sleeve 25 has two side walls formed with two opposite through holes 251 aligned with the two opposite through holes 212 of the connecting rod 21. The Outer mounting Seat 26 is mounted on the rectangular sleeve 25, and is formed with a passage 261 for receiving the rectangular sleeve 25. The outer mounting Seat 26 has a top surface formed with a circular hole 262 aligned with the circular hole 252 of the rectangular sleeve 25, and a through hole 263 located beside the circular hole 262. The passage 261 of the outer mounting Seat 26 has a first opened end US 6,641,228 B having a top edge protruded with a guide wing 264 and a bottom edge formed with a depression 265 which is formed with a through hole 266. The passage 261 of the outer mounting Seat 26 has a Second opened end provided with a catch block 267 and an extension wing 268. The extension wing 268 is formed with a through hole 269. The inverted U-shaped pad 27 is mounted on a bottom Surface of the outer mounting Seat 26, and has a distal end formed with a through hole 271. In assembly, referring to FIGS. 4 and 5, the mounting member 22 is mounted in the receiving chamber 211 of the connecting rod 21, and the push button recess 221 of the mounting member 22 is aligned with the circular hole 213 of the connecting rod 21. Then, the Spring 23 and the push button 24 are serially mounted in the push button recess 221 of the mounting member 22, and one end of the Spring 23 is locked in the circular recess 242 of the pushbutton 24. Then, the connecting rod 21 is forced into the rectangular sleeve 25, with the top of the push button 24 being protruded outward from the circular hole 252 of the rectangular sleeve 25, and with the flange 241 of the push button 24 being rested on the wall of the circular hole 252 of the rectangular sleeve 25, so that the push button 24 may be protruded outward from and retracted into the circular hole 252 of the rectangular sleeve 25, and will not detach from the circular hole 252 of the rectangular sleeve 25. A screw 253 is in turn extend through the through holes 251 and the through holes 212, and is Screwed into a nut 254, thereby Securing the connecting rod 21 on the rectangular sleeve 25. Then, a screw 28 passing through the through hole 263 is extended through the through hole 266, and is screwed into the back face of the main frame 10, while a screw 29 is in turn extended through the through hole 269 and the through hole 271, and is screwed into the back face of the main frame 10, thereby locking the outer mounting Seat 26 on the main frame 10. The inverted U-shaped pad 27 is mounted between the outer mounting seat 26 and the main frame 10, thereby filling the gap between the outer mounting Seat 26 and the main frame 10. Then, the rectangular sleeve 25 may be forced into the passage 261 of the Outer mounting Seat 26 by guidance of the guide wing 264 of the outer mounting Seat 26, while the front end of the rectangular sleeve 25 is stopped by the catch block 267 of the outer mounting seat 26, and the push button 24 is protruded outward from the circular hole 262 of the outer mounting Seat 26, thereby locking and Securing the rectangular sleeve 25 in the passage 261 of the outer mounting Seat 26. In operation, referring to FIG. 6 with reference to FIGS. 1-5, the pushbutton 24 may be pressed inward, to disengage the rectangular sleeve 25 from the passage 261 of the outer mounting Seat 26, So that the rectangular sleeve 25 may be forced outward to detach from the outer mounting Seat 26, thereby detaching the front wheel frame 30 from the main frame 10. Alternatively, referring to FIG. 7 with reference to FIGS. 1-5, the rectangular sleeve 25 may be forced into the passage 261 of the Outer mounting Seat 26 by guidance of the guide wing 264 of the outer mounting Seat 26, until the push button 24 is aligned with the circular hole 262 of the outer mounting Seat 26, So that the push button 24 may be protruded outward from the circular hole 262 of the outer mounting Seat 26 by the restoring force of the Spring 23, thereby locking and Securing the rectangular Sleeve 25 in the passage 261 of the outer mounting Seat 26, So that the front wheel frame 30 may be secured to the main frame 10.
15 S Accordingly, the front wheel frame 30 may be mounted on and detached from the main frame 10 easily and rapidly by action of the quick release device 20. In addition, the front wheel frame 30 may be detached from the main frame 10 rapidly and conveniently, whereby the front wheel frame 30 and the front wheel 40 will not interfere with the folding action of the golf cart 1, so that the golf cart 1 may be folded entirely. Further, the front wheel frame 30 may be mounted on the main frame 10 rapidly and conveniently, thereby facilitating the user using the golf cart 1.
