Golf bag divider top
Abstract
A golf bag divider top mounted in an open top side of a golf bag
body for the resting of golf clubs in said golf bag body, having a
plurality of transverse ribs, a plurality of insertion spaces
defined by the transverse ribs within the open top side of the golf
bag body for the insertion of a number of golf clubs into the golf
bag body, and a plurality of ridge-like spacer lugs respectively
formed integral with the transverse ribs and suspending in the
insertion spaces in such a manner that the ridge-like spacer lugs
at one transverse rib are spaced from another adjacent ridge-like
spacer lug for supporting a number of golf clubs in each insertion
space in a separated status to facilitate retrieval of the storage

Claims
1. A golf bag divider top mounted in an open top side of a golf bag
body for the resting of golf clubs in said golf bag body,
comprising a plurality of transverse ribs, a plurality of insertion
spaces defined by said transverse ribs within said open top side of
said golf bag body for the insertion of a number of golf clubs into
said golf bag body, and a plurality of ridge-like spacer lugs
respectively formed integral with said transverse ribs and
suspending in said insertion spaces in such a manner that the
ridge-like spacer lugs at one of said transverse ribs are spaced
from another one of ridge-like spacer lug at a distance for
supporting a number of golf clubs in each of said insertion spaces
and keeping the supported golf clubs separated in each of said
insertion spaces.
2. The golf bag divider top as claimed in claim 1, which is formed
integral with said open top side of said golf bag body.
3. The golf bag divider top as claimed in claim 1, which is
detachably fastened to said open top side of said golf bag body.
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0001] 1. Field of the Invention
[0002] The present invention relates to a golf bag and more
particularly, to a golf bag divider top, which keeps a number of
golf clubs rested and separated in each of a number of insertion
spaces to facilitate retrieval of storage golf clubs.
[0003] 2. Description of the Related Art
[0004] Golf is a sports game in which players strike a ball into a
hole using several types of golf clubs. Therefore, golf players
commonly use a golf bag to carrying one set of golf clubs. A
commercial golf bag generally has a divider structure to rest golf
clubs in the bag body.
[0005] FIG. 1 illustrates a conventional golf bag, which comprises
a bag body 10, and a divider member 20 disposed at the open top
side of the bag body 10 and defining a number of insertion spaces
201. Each insertion space 201 accommodates 1.about.3 golf clubs 30.
Because a number of golf clubs 30 are rested together in each
insertion space 201, the divider member 20 does not facilitate
retrieval of the storage golf clubs 30 individually.
[0006] U.S. Pat. No. 6,109,433 discloses a golf bag divider top,
entitled "Ridged Golf Bag Dividers", which comprises ridged
elements 38 having ridges 38a and valleys 38b oriented and
positioned such that when the golf bag is in the partially-reclined
position, the golf clubs 40 rest unrestrained and separated within
the valleys 38b between the ridges 38a. This design of golf bag
divider top is still not satisfactory in function. When carrying
the golf bag, the golf clubs 40 may hit one another, causing
damage.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0007] The present invention has been accomplished under the
circumstances in view. It is the main object of the present
invention to provide a golf bag divider top for golf bag, which
keeps a number of storage golf clubs separated in each of a number
of insertion spaces to facilitate retrieval of the golf clubs. To
achieve this and other objects of the present invention, the golf
bag divider top is mounted in an open top side of a golf bag body
for the resting of golf clubs in said golf bag body, having a
plurality of transverse ribs, a plurality of insertion spaces
defined by the transverse ribs within the open top side of the golf
bag body for the insertion of a number of golf clubs into the golf
bag body, and a plurality of ridge-like spacer lugs respectively
formed integral with the transverse ribs and suspending in the
insertion spaces in such a manner that the ridge-like spacer lugs
at one transverse rib are spaced from another adjacent ridge-like
spacer lug for supporting a number of golf clubs in each insertion
space in a separated status to facilitate retrieval of the storage
golf clubs.

invention.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
[0013] Referring to FIGS. 2, 3, and 5, a golf bag divider top is
shown installed in the top open side of a golf bag body 1 for golf
bag. The golf bag divider top comprises a plurality of transverse
ribs 2, defining a plurality of insertion spaces 3. Golf clubs are
inserted through the insertion spaces 3 and rested in the golf bag
body 1. The golf bag divider top further comprises a plurality of
ridge-like spacer lugs 21 respectively formed integral with the
transverse ribs 2 and suspending in the insertion spaces 3 in such
a manner that the ridge-like spacer lugs 21 at one transverse rib 2
are kept spaced from one adjacent transverse rib 2 at a distance
and adapted to support one respective golf club 4 in the
associating insertion space 3.
[0014] Referring to FIGS. 2 and 5 again, the golf bag divider top
of the present invention defines therein multiple insertion spaces
3. When multiple golf clubs 4 are rested in the insertion spaces 3,
the flexible material property of the transverse ribs 2 does not
damage the storage golf clubs 4, and the storage golf clubs 4 rest
unrestrained and separated within the insertion spaces 3 between
the transverse ribs 2, and the ridge-like spacer lugs 21 keep the
storage golf clubs 4 separated within each insertion space 3. When
the user moves or carries the golf bag, the storage golf clubs 4
are kept separated and prohibited from hitting against one
another.
[0015] When the golf bag is in a reclined position, the storage
golf clubs 4 rest unrestrained and separated within the insertion
spaces 3, and the flexible ridge-like spacer lugs 21 keep the
storage golf clubs 4 separated within each insertion space 3 to
facilitate retrieval of the storage golf clubs 4.
[0016] Referring to FIG. 2, the golf bag divider top of the present
invention can be made detachably fastened to the golf bag body
1.
[0017] Although a particular embodiment of the invention has been
described in detail for purposes of illustration, various
modifications and enhancements may be made without departing from
the spirit and scope of the invention. Accordingly, the invention
is not to be limited except as by the appended claims.
