Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
180 words
In a golf bag having a predefined internal volume for accommodating golf clubs and of the type having an opened top end for inserting said golf clubs and a closed bottom end, said opened top end including at least one rod-like separator thereacross, the combination therewith of apparatus for fully dividing the club containing volume of said bag into a plurality of compartments comprising: a. a longitudinal, cylindrical frame member having a crosssection relatively congruent with the cross-section of said bag as defined by the area enclosed between the periphery of said bag and said rod-like separator, said frame member having an open top end and a closed bottom end, and b. a cover member adapted to cover the major outside surface of said frame member to thereby form a composite member therewith, such that when said composite member is inserted into said golf bag, said internal volume is divided into at least two distinct volumetric areas each of which is capable of accommodating a plurality of clubs less than the total necessary to participate in the sport of golf.
