Abstract
Abstract The present invention relates to portable dual umbrella holders and is specifically concerned with providing a holder which is adapted to mount at least two umbrellas individually over the seat and bag holding portions of a motorized golf cart. Prior art devices have only provided holders for supporting a single umbrella which are permanently mounted on a golf cart either motorized or of the pull-type with no means to quickly disassemble the holder for transport to and from a golf course. The structure of the present invention overcomes such problems by providing a dual umbrella holder which can be conveniently disassembled and converted to a compact transportable condition in which the holder is able to be inserted and carried along with the golf clubs in the golfer's bag.
