Abstract
Abstract A holder for golf clubs or similar articles is in the form of a continuous strip of flexible but resilient material fastened to a base at spaced points and bent, between those points, to define a series of adjacent loops to grip the articles between them. Each of the loops has a body of resilient foam within it to hold the loops yieldably distended. In one adaptation the holder is mounted on a golf pull cart having wheels foldable to a position where the pull cart can fit in the customary space on a motorized golf cart provided for golf bags. In another form the cart is provided with a pivoted leg for holding the cart in an upright position.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
80 words
A resilient rack device comprising: a base member; a strip of flexible resilient plastic material secured to said base member at spaced points, the material of said strip between said spaced points defining resilient elongated parallel loops extending outwardly from said base, adjacent loops being sufficiently close together to conform to and frictionally receive and hold an article therebetween; and a separate body of resilient foam material in each of said loops holding said loops yieldably expanded toward adjacent loops.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
80 words
A resilient rack device comprising: a base member; a strip of flexible resilient plastic material secured to said base member at spaced points, the material of said strip between said spaced points defining resilient elongated parallel loops extending outwardly from said base, adjacent loops being sufficiently close together to conform to and frictionally receive and hold an article therebetween; and a separate body of resilient foam material in each of said loops holding said loops yieldably expanded toward adjacent loops.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
29 words
A rack device as defined in claim 1 including a layer of resilient foam material, in sheet form, on the outer surface of said strip of flexible resilient material.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
