Pan for golf cart

Abstract

A garage floor pan for golf carts to collect battery acid that drips from the golf cart during filling or charging of the batteries thereof. The golf cart pan comprises a generally rectangular configuration having a peripheral ridge that serves to prevent any battery acid dripping from the golf cart onto the pan from flowing off the pan onto the garage floor. The golf cart pan comprises two rows of raised tracks, spaced apart by a distance approximately equal to the conventional wheel span of a golf cart. The raised tracks serve to elevate the tires of the golf cart by slightly raising the tires of the golf cart above the floor of the pan. In this manner, accumulated battery acid within the pan is precluded from contacting the tires of the golf cart and be “tracked” onto the garage floor as the golf cart is driven off the pan.

1 . a golf cart pan comprising a generally rectangular configuration: having a bottom with lateral edges and front and rear edges for ingress and egress, one or both of said front and rear edges including a pair of reduced height tire edges spaced apart from each other and positioned adjacent said lateral edges.  
     
     
         2 . The golf cart pan as set forth in  claim 1 , further including a plurality of raised tire tracks positioned in alignment with the tire edges to define two rows of tire tracks.  
     
     
         3 . The golf cart pan as set forth in  claim 2 , wherein said raised tire tracks preferably comprises a generally rectangular configuration that is raised to a height substantially equal to that of the tire edge.  
     
     
         4 . The golf cart pan as set forth in  claim 3 , wherein said tire tracks are spaced from each other.  
     
     
         5 . The golf cart pan as set forth  claim 4 , wherein said spacing between the opposing said tire tracks are dimensioned to be approximately equal to or greater than the wheel span of a conventional golf cart.  
     
     
         6 . A golf cart pan comprising a generally rectangular configuration having a bottom with lateral edges and front and rear edges for ingress and egress, said pan further including a plurality of raised tire tracks defining two rows of tire tracks.  
     
     
         7 . The golf cart pan as set forth in  claim 6 , wherein one or both of said front and rear edges includes a pair of reduced height tire edges spaced apart from each other and positioned adjacent said lateral edges.  
     
     
         8 . The golf cart pan as set forth in  claim 7 , wherein said raised tire tracks preferably comprises a generally rectangular configuration that is raised to a height substantially equal to that of the tire edges.  
     
     
         9 . The golf cart pan as set forth in  claim 8 , wherein said tire tracks are spaced from each other.  
     
     
         10 . The golf cart pan as set forth  claim 9 , wherein said spacing between the opposing said tire tracks are dimensioned to be approximately equal to or greater than the wheel span of a conventional golf cart.
