Ergonomic golf bag top and club separator
View Patent ↗The present invention features a ergonomically designed and structured golf bag top and club separator. The golf bag top and club separator comprises a perimeter support member having integrally formed tiered sections both along its longitudinal and lateral axes, a wood complex, an iron complex located opposite from and offset below the wood complex, and a plurality of strategically placed dividers therein to provide vertical disposition and segregation of wood-type golf clubs. Through its unique design, the present invention provides vertical segregation of the wood complex, thus providing optimal positioning, travel, access, and retrieval of golf clubs inserted and housed therein, as well as providing added protection of the clubs from one another. The wood complex is vertically segregated and positioned proximate or distal the body of the user.
1. A golf bag top and club separator comprising:
a perimeter support member defining an area for placement of golf clubs, said perimeter support member comprising:
an elevated rear section;
a lower front section integrally formed with said elevated rear section;
a perimeter rise located along said rear portion, said perimeter rise allowing a greater portion of a golf club placed adjacently within said perimeter support member to be exposed, thus providing more ergonomic access to said golf club; and
a plurality of dividers intermittently spaced within said perimeter support member and extending from a first side to a second side of said perimeter support member, said dividers comprising a rise therein substantially corresponding to said perimeter rise, wherein an elevated wood complex is defined aft said rise, and a lower iron complex is defined forward said rise, said elevated wood complex being vertically segregated within said perimeter support member.
2. A golf bag top comprising:
a perimeter support member; and
a horizontal divider substantially parallel to the ground when being carried; said horizontal divider having a substantially straight portion at each end, the two ends being nonlinear and having there between a curved portion stepping down between the two straight portions so as to hinder the movement of a golf club from the lower straight portion to the upper straight portion thereby substantially partitioning the clubs on one side of the golf bag from moving to the other side of the golf bag.
3. An ergonomic golf bag top and club separator comprising:
a perimeter support member having a profile and periphery so as to provide optimal wood and iron separation as well as optimal ergonomic club access;
a wood complex for housing wood-type golf clubs, said wood complex being vertically segregated and oriented within said perimeter support member so as to allow similar vertical segregation of wood-type golf clubs received and housed therein, said elevated wood complex contouring to said profile and comprising a plurality of wood dividers therein to define a plurality of wood compartments along one side of the bag;
an iron complex positioned within said perimeter support member for housing iron-type golf clubs, said iron complex providing a plurality of iron dividers therein to define a plurality of iron compartments; and
a wood/iron partition separating a portion of said elevated wood complex from a portion of said lower iron complex in an offset manner, said wood/iron partition comprising a protective ridge extending from said wood complex to said iron complex, said wood/iron partition reducing contact between any iron-type golf clubs housed within said iron complex and any wood-type golf clubs housed within said wood complex, and wherein said wood/iron partition intersects with said perimeter support member and extends therefrom to a putter complex.
4. An ergonomic golf bag top and club separator comprising:
a perimeter support member having a first side substantially corresponding to a rim of a golf bag, and a second substantially planar side that segregates an iron complex from a wood complex;
said iron complex disposed within said perimeter support member and comprising a plurality of dividers extending between said first and second sides of said perimeter support member segregating said iron complex;
said wood complex situated without said perimeter support member, said wood complex adapted to provide substantially planar vertical segregation and disposition of wood-type golf clubs, said wood complex comprising means for receiving and securing a golf club; and
a putter complex supported at least in part by said perimeter support member.
5. The ergonomic golf bag top and club separator of claim 4 , wherein said means for receiving and securing a golf club comprises one or more clip-in structures that securely couple a head or shaft portion of said golf club.
6. The ergonomic golf bag top and club separator of claim 4 , wherein said wood complex is located distal said user.
7. The ergonomic golf bag top and club separator of claim 4 , wherein said putter complex is situated and positioned without said perimeter support member.
8. The ergonomic golf bag top and club separator of claim 4 , wherein said a putter complex is situated and positioned within said perimeter support member.
9. A golf bag top comprising:
a perimeter support member having a profile and periphery so as to provide optimal wood and iron separation as well as optimal ergonomic club access, said ergonomic profile extending from a high point to low point;
an elevated wood complex for housing wood-type golf clubs, said wood complex being oriented within said perimeter support member so as to allow substantially planar vertical segregation of wood-type golf clubs received and housed therein, said elevated wood complex substantially corresponding to said profile and comprising a plurality of wood dividers therein to define a plurality of wood compartments along one side of the bag;
an iron complex positioned within said perimeter support member for housing iron-type golf clubs, said iron complex providing a plurality of iron dividers therein to define a plurality of iron compartments, and a putter complex partially defined by one of said iron dividers at the lowest point on the profile; and
a wood/iron partition separating said perimeter support member into said elevated wood complex and said iron complex of different sizes, said partition supporting said wood dividers and said iron dividers, further separating a portion of said elevated wood complex from a portion of said lower iron complex in an offset manner, said wood/iron partition comprising a protective ridge extending from said wood complex to said iron complex, said wood/iron partition reducing contact between any iron-type golf clubs housed within said iron complex and any wood-type golf clubs housed within said wood complex, and wherein said wood/iron partition intersects with said perimeter support member and extends therefrom to said putter complex.
