Golf bag security device

Abstract

The present invention provides a golf bag security device which is adjustable to different golf bags and which needs only one lock to both lock the hood to the bag and the bag to a fixed object through the use of an adjustment cinch. It does so by providing a hood and a cable having apertures at either end and an intermediate movable loop which allows the hood to be secured to bags of variable sizes and the bag to be secured to a fixed object.

         1 . A cable for securing a golf bag cover to a golf bag and to fixed object comprising first and second ends each provided with an aperture adapted to receive locking means, a loop adapted to receive locking means adjustably formed in said cable at a location between said first and second ends and means for forming and slidingly moving the location of said loop between said first and second ends of said cable.  
     
     
         2 . The cable of  claim 1  wherein said means for forming and slidingly moving the location of said loop comprises cinch means comprising a body and a passage formed in said body for slidingly receiving two sections of said cable.  
     
     
         3 . The cable of  claim 2  wherein said passage of said cinch means is Figure-8 shaped in cross-section.  
     
     
         4 . A device for securing golf clubs in a golf bag and securing said golf bag to a fixed object, comprising: a hood having a hollow interior for receiving said golf clubs and an open end sized to fit over said golf bag, and a lower edge surrounding said open end comprising sleeve means for receiving a cable; and the cable of  claim 1 .  
     
     
         5 . The device of  claim 4  further comprising a lock.  
     
     
         6 . In combination, a golf bag, the device of  claim 4  and locking means.  
     
     
         7 . A golf bag cover for securing golf clubs in a golf bag and securing said golf bag to a fixed object, said cover comprising a a hood formed of a flexible material and having a hollow interior for receiving said golf clubs and an open end sized to fit over said golf bag, and having a lower edge surrounding said open end comprising sleeve means for receiving a cable, said sleeve means comprising two gaps adapted to permit a cable to leave and return into said sleeve means.  
     
     
         8 . The golf bag cover of  claim 7  wherein one of said gaps is wider than the other to adapt to golf bags having one side wider than the other.  
     
     
         9 . A device for securing golf clubs in a golf bag and securing said golf bag to a fixed object, comprising: 
 i) a golf bag cover comprising a a hood formed of a flexible material and having a hollow interior for receiving said golf clubs and an open end sized to fit over said golf bag, and having a lower edge surrounding said open end comprising sleeve means for receiving a cable; and    ii) a cable comprising first and second ends each provided with an aperture adapted to receive locking means, a loop adapted to receive locking means adjustably formed in said cable at a location between said first and second ends and means for forming and slidingly moving the location of said loop between said first and second ends of said cable.    
     
     
         10 . The device of  claim 9  wherein said means for forming and slidingly moving the location of said loop comprises cinch means comprising a body and a passage formed in said body for slidingly receiving two sections of said cable.  
     
     
         11 . The device of  claim 10  wherein said passage of said cinch means is Figure-8 shaped in cross-section.  
     
     
         12 . The device of  claim 9  wherein said sleeve means comprise two gaps adapted to permit a cable to leave and return into said sleeve means  
     
     
         13 . The device of  claim 9  further comprising a lock.  
     
     
         14 . In combination, a golf bag, the device of  claim 9  and locking means.
