Filed:

Jan 15, 2004

Appl. No.:

10/757744

Inventors:

Michael James Pratt - Draper UT, US
Scott Kendrick Warner - Draper UT, US
Joseph W. Christensen - Cedar Hills UT, US

Assignee:

Ogio International, Inc. - Bluffdale UT

International Classification:

A63B 55/00
A45F 3/04
A45C 5/06

US Classification:

2063155, 2063153, 150117, 150900, 190111, 224653

Abstract:

A pocket closure device for facilitating retention of and access to items placed in a pocket. Specifically, certain embodiments of the present invention comprise an elongate resilient member disposed along a pocket and attached to a front panel of the pocket and to an outer surface of a bag. The elongate resilient member acts to bias the front panel against the outer surface of the bag such that the panel may be quickly and effectively accessed in a single movement. The biased nature of the front panel of the pocket also enables quick and automatic closure of the pocket to secure pocket contents.

Assignee:

Ogio International, Inc. - Bluffdale UT

International Classification:

A63B 55/00

US Classification:

2063156, 2063153, 211 702

Abstract:

The present invention features a ergonomically designed and structured golf bag top and club separator. The golf bag top and club separator comprises a perimeter support member having integrally formed tiered sections both along its longitudinal and lateral axes, a wood complex, an iron complex located opposite from and offset below the wood complex, and a plurality of strategically placed dividers therein to provide vertical disposition and segregation of wood-type golf clubs. Through its unique design, the present invention provides vertical segregation of the wood complex, thus providing optimal positioning, travel, access, and retrieval of golf clubs inserted and housed therein, as well as providing added protection of the clubs from one another. The wood complex is vertically segregated and positioned proximate or distal the body of the user.

International Classification:

A63B 55/10

US Classification:

248 96, 248 97

Abstract:

A golf bag stand system is described wherein the legs of the stand system deploy in an arcuate path. The arcuate path permits the legs of the golf bag stand system to be widely deployed to support the golf bag while minimizing entanglement issues during deployment and retraction. The arcuate deployment keeps the legs closer to the center line of the bag during a greater period of the deployment/retraction, with the sideward/outward movement of the legs occurring at the end of leg deployment and at the beginning of leg retraction. This may be achieved by hingedly connecting the legs to the golf bag with an axis of rotation that is inclined toward the center of the golf bag. The legs of the golf bag include a bend or jog that permits the inclined axis of rotation while keeping the legs close to the golf bag when in the retracted position.

Abstract:

An outerwear garment includes a torso body having an inner surface and an outer surface. The torso body defines a pass-through opening extending through the inner surface and outer surface and a pocket opening extending at least through the outer surface. A pocket extends inwardly from the outer surface at the pocket opening. A waist gaiter is coupled to the inner surface. The pass through opening provides access to a space defined between the pocket and the waist gaiter.
