Abstract
Abstract A stand for holding a golf bag in upright position on a golf course and adapted for convenient storage in small spaces when not in use. An elongated tubular supporting member has secured in one end thereof a mounting member to which are releasably attached a spike, a plate functioning as both a bottom support for the bag and a foot step, and a member which supports one side of the bag. A strap connected to the member is releasably buckled around the bag. A C-shaped hanger adapted to engage the bag top rim and a second bag-holding strap are connected to a clamp movably fastened on the tubular supporting member near the other end thereof. A tubular grip-type handle is positioned on the tubular supporting member intermediate the ends thereof.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
166 words
Apparatus for supporting a golf bag comprising: a. an elongated tubular supporting member; b. a substantially cylindrical mounting member having an outer diameter substantially equal to the inner diameter of said tubular member and rigidly and releasably secured within said tubular member at one end thereof by releasable fastening means extending through said tubular member and into said mounting member; c. a plate releasably attached to said tubular member adjacent said one end thereof, said plate being disposed in a plane substantially perpendicular to the axis of said tubular member; d. a spike releasably connected to said mounting member and disposed so that the axis thereof if substantially parallel to the axis of said tubular member; e. bag-holding means connected to said tubular member near the other end thereof; and f. a tubular handle provided with finger-receiving recesses, said handle being positioned on said tubular supporting member intermediate the ends thereof and disposed so that the axis thereof extends along the axis of said tubular member.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
166 words
Apparatus for supporting a golf bag comprising: a. an elongated tubular supporting member; b. a substantially cylindrical mounting member having an outer diameter substantially equal to the inner diameter of said tubular member and rigidly and releasably secured within said tubular member at one end thereof by releasable fastening means extending through said tubular member and into said mounting member; c. a plate releasably attached to said tubular member adjacent said one end thereof, said plate being disposed in a plane substantially perpendicular to the axis of said tubular member; d. a spike releasably connected to said mounting member and disposed so that the axis thereof if substantially parallel to the axis of said tubular member; e. bag-holding means connected to said tubular member near the other end thereof; and f. a tubular handle provided with finger-receiving recesses, said handle being positioned on said tubular supporting member intermediate the ends thereof and disposed so that the axis thereof extends along the axis of said tubular member.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
63 words
Apparatus as set forth in claim 1, said mounting member having a recess opening through said one end of said tubular member, and said plate having an aperture of diameter less than the diameter of said tubular member, said spike extending through said aperture and into said recess and being provided with means for preventing axial movement of said plate along said spike.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
57 words
Apparatus as set forth in claim 1, wherein said bag-holding means comprises: a. clamping means secured to said tubular member; b. hanger means connected to said clamping means and adapted to extend over the top rim of a golf bag; and c. a strap connected to said clamping means and adapted to releasably embrace a golf bag.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
71 words
Apparatus as set forth in claim 1, wherein said mounting member is a solid member having a portion thereof removed so as to provide a flat surface, said tubular supporting member being bent inwardly on a portion of the surface thereof to form a flat surface mating with said mounting member flat surface, and wherein said fastening means secure said elongated member to said tubular member on said flat portion thereof.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
232 words
Apparatus for supporting a golf bag comprising: a. an elongated tubular supporting member; b. a substantially cylindrical solid mounting member having an outer diameter substantially equal to the inner diameter of said tubular member and a portion thereof removed so as to provide a flat surface, said tubular supporting member being bent inwardly on a portion of the surface thereof to form a flat surface mating with said mounting member flat surface; c. a plate releasably attached to said tubular member adjacent one end thereof, said plate being disposed in a plane substantially perpendicular to the axis of said tubular member; d. a spike releasably connected to said mounting member and disposed so that the axis thereof is substantially parallel to the axis of said tubuLar member; e. bag-holding means connected to said tubular member near the other end thereof; f. bag-holding and supporting means connected to said tubular member near said one thereof and including a rigid, elongated member connected intermediate the ends thereof to said tubular member and disposed so that the longitudinal axis thereof is substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of said tubular member and a strap connected to said elongated member and adapted to releasably embrace a supported golf bag; and g. fastening means securing said elongated member to said tubular member on said flat portion thereof and extending through said tubular member into said mounting member.
