Abstract
Abstract A golf bag system (10) which is utilized for containing and classifying various objects used by a player during the playing of a golf game. The golf bag system (10) includes a longitudinally extended outer housing (24) generally formed in a cylindrical shape and a second internal secondary housing (38), which extends substantially central to the first housing (24). The first housing (24) includes a first housing chamber (28) which is substantially annular in contour for insertion thereof in predetermined locations objects such as golf clubs (16). The second housing (38) includes an upper and lower compartment (46) and (44), divided by a partition member (42). The upper compartment (44) includes golf ball dispensing mechanism (50) to allow easy egress of golf balls (20) contained therein. Additionally, system (10) includes a housing cover (52) which is rotatably actuatable with respect to both the first housing (24) and the second housing (38). The housing cover (52) includes a first housing door member (60) to allow access to the golf clubs (16) and a second housing door member (66) to allow access to the golf balls (20).

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
115 words
A golf bag system, comprising: (a) a longitudinally extended first housing for containing a predetermined number of golf clubs; said first housing having at least one internal compartment adjacent a sidewall thereof; (b) a longitudinally extended second housing positionally located central said first housing; (c) housing cover means rotatably mountable on said first and second housings for providing internal access to said first and second housings; (d) a rotatable strap member slidingly mounted on said first housing sidewall for alignment thereof with said internal compartment; and, (e) retractable wheel means rotationally coupled to a base wall of said first housing for providing rolling displacement of said golf bag system with respect to an external surface.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
115 words
A golf bag system, comprising: (a) a longitudinally extended first housing for containing a predetermined number of golf clubs; said first housing having at least one internal compartment adjacent a sidewall thereof; (b) a longitudinally extended second housing positionally located central said first housing; (c) housing cover means rotatably mountable on said first and second housings for providing internal access to said first and second housings; (d) a rotatable strap member slidingly mounted on said first housing sidewall for alignment thereof with said internal compartment; and, (e) retractable wheel means rotationally coupled to a base wall of said first housing for providing rolling displacement of said golf bag system with respect to an external surface.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
37 words
The golf bag system as recited in claim 1 where said second housing includes a second housing partition member, said second housing partition member for dividing said second housing into an upper compartment and a lower compartment.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
34 words
The golf bag system as recited in claim 2 including golf ball dispensing means within said upper compartment of said second housing for biasing a plurality of golf balls against said housing cover means.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
44 words
The golf bag system as recited in claim 3 where said golf ball dispensing means includes a spring member compressively displaceable in said longitudinal direction, said spring member being biased against said partition member when said golf balls are inserted into said upper compartment.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
56 words
The golf bag system as recited in claim 1 where said housing cover means includes a first housing door member hingedly mounted to an upper surface of said first housing cover means for providing access to one of said golf clubs when said first housing door member is longitudinally aligned with respect to said golf club.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
36 words
The golf bag system as recited in claim 5 where said housing cover means includes a second housing door member slidingly displaceable with respect to said housing cover means for providing access to said second housing.
