Abstract
Abstract A tubular handle having a pair of rings mounted in spaced relation thereon for detachably or permanently securing a sleevelike golf club bag thereto. The bag includes ends which are folded back over the rings. The overlapped end portions of the bag have aligned eyelets to receive fastener elements for detachably securing the bag to the ring. A disc within the bag is supported by the lower ring and forms a bottom for the bag. A spike at the lower end of the handle can be pushed into the ground by foot pressure on a foot projection located at the lower end of the handle. The rings, spike, and foot projection are permanently anchored to the handle by lead or other fusible metal. Plugs within the handle form an obstruction to locate the fusible metal in the regions desired. Each ring has outwardly bent ends that are inserted into spaced openings in the handle by compressing the ring to slightly overlap its ends, inserting the ends in the openings, and then turning the ring through an angle of about 180* to mechanically lock the rings in place prior to permanently anchoring the same by the fusible metal. The opposite ends of the bag can be permanently secured to the rings by hollow rivets, stitching, etc..
