GOLF BAG.

Application filed November 15, 1926. Serial No. 148,495.

This invention is for an improved bag for use .by golfers.

At present the clubs used by golfers are usually carried in a bag, the shafts being to- .5 gcther in one compartment. It is found that the grips and shafts become damaged by the constant rubbing together while being carried or while being placed into or taken out of the bag.

The object of my invention is to provide an improvedgolf bag which will prevent the shafts of the clubs from chafing, and maintain them out of contact one with another, while I incorporate in the bag a separate compartment for the balls.

In order that the invention may be clearly understood reference may be had to the accompanying drawing, wherein Figure 1 is a perspective view of a golf bag in accordance with this invention, and

Figure 2 is a fragmentary perspective View of a modification.

' Referring to Figure 1 the golf bag consists of a central casingor compartment A 2 of cylindrical or other shape of leather or other suitable material having if desired a cap B. The casing A may be utilized for carrying the balls. I provide a series of longitudinal compartments C on the outside of the casing A in which the clubs are accommodated, the entire structure thus constituting a substantially-indeformable unit.

The compartments C may be formed by a number of folds in a length of canvas or other suitable material, the folds being arranged around the central casing A and being stitched or otherwise secured to it.

At the bottom of the bag I provide-the usual end piece D of leather or the like, and at the upper ends of the compartments C I 40 may provide reinforcements E and partition pieces F which prevent the club heads from coming into contact. The usual strap G is provided being stitched to the ba or secured by siap books. A grip may also be provided 4 as In Figure 2 the modified form of golf bag is shown in which the dividing pieces F are omitted.

I claim- 1. A substantially-indeformable golf bag, comprising a central cylindrical casing to receive golf balls; and a multiplicity of vertical club-receiving pockets arranged entirely around the casing and coextensive in height therewith, said pockets being secured permanently to said casing.

2. A substantially-indeformable golf bag, comprising a central cylindrical casing to receive the golf balls; and a strip of flexible material entirely encircling said casing and folded longitudinally upon itself to form a multiplicity of vertical club-receiving pockets which are coextensive in height with the casing and are secured permanently thereto.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification.
