Abstract
Abstract A golf club carrier having a plurality of parallel golf club receiving tubes which are mounted at one end on a base member and are bound at the other end by a collar member, both members mounted on a supporting spine. The base member has a plurality of spaced projections over which the lower ends of the tubes have a stretch fit, the expanded lower end portions of the tubes being releasably clamped to their respective projections by a clamping yoke which is moved into wedging with said lower end of the tubes by a screw connector extending through the base member.

Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
138 words
A golf club carrier comprising: a a plurality of elongated tubes disposed in parallelism, each being adapted to receive the shaft of a golf club, b a rigid spine extending substantially longitudinally of the tubes, c a collar secured to the spine embracing the tubes adjacent the upper ends of the latter, d a base plate assembly connected to the spine in a spaced relationship relative to the collar, the base plate assembly having: i a plurality of projections over each one of which a lower end portion of a tube has a stretch fit, ii a clamping yoke having a wedge fit between the lower end portions of the tubes, iii a threaded connector engaging the base plate assembly and the clamp for drawing the clamp into wedging engagement with said lower end portions of the tubes.
