Abstract
Abstract In a conventional wheeled cart for closed by transporting golf clubs there is substituted for the usual club-carrying bag a dual rack of the folding type wherein at least one of two slablike rack sections is inclinable relatively to the other section between open and closed conditions of the rack. The opening and closing of the rack is performed by swinging movement of a handle by which the cart is hauled. In a cart wherein the ground wheels of the cart are shifted between spread and retracted positions such shifting of the wheels positions is caused by swinging of the same handle that hauls the cart wherefor opening and/or closing of the rack takes place simultaneously with the spreading and retracting of the ground wheels of the cart.
