Abstract

A golf stand bag has a rotate bottom base assembly, a supporting rod, a top frame, a body, two legs and an activating member. The rotate bottom base assembly has a rotate bottom base and a pivot bracket. The rotate bottom base has a bottom, a sidewall formed on the bottom and two pivot balls formed on the sidewall. The pivot bracket has two pivot members pivotally mounted respectively on the pivot balls. The supporting rod is mounted securely on the pivot bracket. The top frame is mounted on the supporting rod. The legs are mounted pivotally on the top frame. The activating rod is mounted on the rotate bottom base and connected to the legs. The pivot bracket mounted on the sidewall instead the bottom of the rotate bottom base prevent the legs of the golf stand bag from inadvertently extending out the legs when the golf stand bag leans against a wall.

Claims (47)

1. A rotate bottom base assembly for a golf stand bag comprising:

a rotate bottom base having

a bottom;

a sidewall being annular, formed on and protruding upward from the bottom; and

two pivot balls, each having a hemispherical shape, formed on the sidewall and each pivot ball having a pivot slot defined longitudinally through the pivot ball; and

a pivot bracket being curved, mounted pivotally on the sidewall, located above the bottom of the rotate bottom base and having

two ends;

two pivot members formed respectively on the ends, corresponding to and pivotally mounted respectively on the pivot balls of the rotate bottom base and each pivot member having

a pivot socket being curved, defined in the pivot member and engaged rotatably with a corresponding pivot ball of the rotate bottom base; and

a pivot hole defined through the pivot member; and

two pivot pintles mounted respectively through the pivot holes of the pivot members of the pivot bracket and slidably mounted respectively through the pivot slot of the pivot balls of the bottom frame.

2. The rotate bottom base assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein

the sidewall of the rotate bottom base further has a stopper formed on the sidewall; and

the pivot bracket is located above and selectively abuts the stopper.

3. The rotate bottom base assembly as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the rotate bottom base further has a mounting bracket formed on the sidewall and having a mounting recess defined in the mounting bracket.

4. The rotate bottom base assembly as claimed in claim 3 , wherein a length of the pivot bracket is less than half of a circumference of the sidewall of the rotate bottom base.

5. The rotate bottom base assembly as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the pivot bracket further has a mounting sleeve formed centrally on the pivotal bracket and having a mounting hole defined in the mounting sleeve.

6. A golf stand bag comprising:

a rotate bottom base assembly having

a rotate bottom base having

a bottom;

a sidewall being annular, formed on and protruding upward from the bottom; and

two pivot balls, each having a hemispherical shape, formed on the sidewall and each pivot ball having a pivot slot defined longitudinally through the pivot ball;

a pivot bracket being curved, mounted pivotally on the sidewall, located above the bottom of the rotate bottom base and having

two ends;

two pivot members formed respectively on the ends, corresponding to and pivotally mounted respectively on the pivot balls of the rotate bottom base and each pivot member having

a pivot socket being curved, defined in the pivot member and engaged rotatably with a corresponding pivot ball of the rotate bottom base; and

a pivot hole defined through the pivot member; and

two pivot pintles mounted respectively through the pivot holes of the pivot members of the pivot bracket and slidably mounted respectively through the pivot slot of the pivot balls of the bottom frame;

a supporting rod mounted securely on and protruding upward from the pivot bracket and having a bottom end and a top end;

a top frame being hollow and mounted securely on the top end of the supporting rod;

a body mounted between the rotate bottom base and the top frame covering the supporting rod;

two legs mounted pivotally on the top frame and selectively extending out; and

an activating member being resilient, mounted on the rotate bottom base opposite to the supporting rod and having two activating rods formed on the activating member and each activating rod having a connecting end connected pivotally to one leg.

7. The golf stand bag as claimed in claim 6 , wherein

the sidewall of the rotate bottom base further has a stopper formed on the sidewall; and

the pivot bracket is located above and selectively abuts the stopper.

8. The golf stand bag as claimed in claim 7 , wherein

the rotate bottom base further has a mounting bracket formed on the sidewall and having a mounting recess defined in the mounting bracket; and

the activating member is mounted in the mounting recess.

9. The golf stand bag as claimed in claim 8 , wherein a length of the pivot bracket is less than half of a circumference of the sidewall of the rotate bottom base.

10. The golf stand bag as claimed in claim 9 , wherein

the pivot bracket further has a mounting sleeve formed centrally on the pivotal bracket and having a mounting hole defined in the mounting sleeve; and

the bottom end of the supporting rod is mounted in the mounting hole.

11. The golf stand bag as claimed in claim 10 , wherein

the body further has a binder mounted on the body; and

the activating rods of the activating member are mounted slidably through the binder.
