Abstract

A golf bag has a bottom base, multiple supporting rods, a top frame, a covering and multiple crossbeam assemblies. The supporting rods are mounted between the bottom base and top frame and are covered by the covering. Each crossbeam assembly has a pair of crossbeam members mounted between adjacent two supporting rods. Each crossbeam member has an engaging slot and an engaging protrusion engaged respectively with the engaging protrusion and engaging slot of the other crossbeam member to prevent the golf bag from inadvertently twisting.

Claims (34)

1. A golf bag comprising:

a bottom base;

multiple supporting rods mounted substantially vertically and securely on the bottom base and each supporting rod has a bottom end and a top end;

a top frame mounted on the top ends of the supporting rods;

a covering covering the supporting rods; and

at least one crossbeam assembly, wherein each of the at least one crossbeam assembly is mounted between adjacent two of the supporting rods and has a pair of crossbeam members, the crossbeam members are engaged with the each other and each crossbeam member has

a body having

a connecting end;

an engaging end;

an inner surface; and

an outer surface;

a pivoting member formed on the connecting end of the body and mounted rotatably around one of the adjacent two of the supporting rods;

a first engaging element formed on the inner surface of the body and having

two opposite sides;

an outside end;

a first engaging slot defined in the outside end; and

a first engaging protrusion formed on and protruding from the outside end; and

a second engaging element formed on and protruding longitudinally from the engaging end of the body, selectively engaged with first engaging element of the other crossbeam member of the pair, and each second engaging element having

two opposite sides;

an outside end;

a second engaging slot defined in the outside end of the second engaging element and engaged with the first engaging protrusion of the other crossbeam member of the pair; and

a second engaging protrusion formed on and protruding from the outside end of the second engaging element and selectively engaged with the first engaging slot.

2. The golf bag as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the body of each crossbeam member is curved and has the outer surface being a convexity.

3. The golf bag as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the inner surface of the body of each crossbeam member is a concavity.

4. The golf bag as claimed in claim 1 , wherein

the opposite sides of the first engaging element of each crossbeam member are a closed side and an open side communicating with the first engaging slot; and

the second engaging protrusion of one crossbeam member of the pair abuts the closed side of the first engaging element of the other crossbeam member.

5. The golf bag as claimed in claim 4 , wherein

the opposite sides of the second engaging element of each crossbeam member are a closed side and an open side communicating with the second engaging slot; and

the closed side of the second engaging element of one crossbeam member of the pair abuts the first engaging protrusion of the other crossbeam member.

6. The golf bag as claimed in claim 1 , wherein

the first engaging slot of each crossbeam member has an inner surface and multiple first teeth formed on the inner surface; and

the second engaging protrusion of each crossbeam member of the pair has multiple second teeth formed on the second engaging protrusion and engaged with the first teeth of the first engaging element of the other crossbeam member.

7. The golf bag as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each crossbeam member is mounted on the covering through at least one fastener.
