Abstract
Abstract A golf cart comprising a supporting chassis assembly and a wheel assembly th two, preferably foldable wheel struts connected to the chassis assembly. The chassis assembly is provided with a mounting assembly for mounting two separate golf bags in an individually detachable manner on the chassis assembly, the golf bags being each of a size suitable for accommodating half a normal set of golf clubs. The two golf bags are detachably mounted on opposite sides of a center beam member in the chassis assembly substantially in the same plane as and substantially parallel to the center beam member.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
177 words
A golf cart comprising a supporting chassis assembly including a supporting center beam extending in the intended running direction of the cart, a wheel assembly including two wheel struts, said wheel assembly being rigidly attached to said center beam, and mounting means rigidly attached to said center beam for mounting individually and detachably two separate, self-contained golf bags, each having a size suitable for accommodating half a normal set of golf clubs, on opposite sides of said center beam substantially in the same plane as and substantially parallel to said center beam, said mounting means including a rigid bottom plate rigidly supported at the rear end of said center beam, as seen in the running direction of the cart, so as to be substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of said center beam, the side surface of said bottom plate facing the fore end of said center beam being provided with two trough-shaped recesses located on opposite sides of said center beam and shaped for slidably and detachably receiving the lower end of one golf bag each.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
177 words
A golf cart comprising a supporting chassis assembly including a supporting center beam extending in the intended running direction of the cart, a wheel assembly including two wheel struts, said wheel assembly being rigidly attached to said center beam, and mounting means rigidly attached to said center beam for mounting individually and detachably two separate, self-contained golf bags, each having a size suitable for accommodating half a normal set of golf clubs, on opposite sides of said center beam substantially in the same plane as and substantially parallel to said center beam, said mounting means including a rigid bottom plate rigidly supported at the rear end of said center beam, as seen in the running direction of the cart, so as to be substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of said center beam, the side surface of said bottom plate facing the fore end of said center beam being provided with two trough-shaped recesses located on opposite sides of said center beam and shaped for slidably and detachably receiving the lower end of one golf bag each.
