Ultra-Compact Collapsible Golf Pull Cart
A pretty cool compact collapsible golf pull cart was disclosed in a recently published patent application. It looks like a genius design that achieves a very compact storage arrangement; but my initial reaction is that the transformation to and from the storage position may be a little cumbersome and time consuming. See what you think.
The patent application published as US Pub. No. 20080246256 titled “Collapsible Golf Trolley, and a Wheel Structure For a Mobile Appliance,” which describes the invention as:
A collapsible golf trolley comprises a frame (176, 276) defined by at least two, preferably four, frame members (171, 172, 173, 174, 203), and a wheel structure (122, 222). The frame members are pivotally interconnected at hinges (106;177, 205), whereby in a first configuration, the frame members define a casing (100, 200) for the wheel structure parts, the casing having a length which is shorter than the sum of the lengths of each of the frame members. In a second configuration, the frame members coextend in a longitudinal direction to define the frame (176, 276). There is further provided a collapsible wheel structure having arms (150, 152, 258, 252) defining pivotally interconnected arm sections (154, 156, 158, 160;254, 256, 258, 260) which, in a first, folded configuration define a partial cylindrical shape, and which in a second, unfolded configuration form an S-shape.
No doubt, this is a unique design.
