Golf bag with club head locking mechanism

Abstract

There is a golf bag for organizing, protecting and securing golf clubs with a club head locking mechanism in the throat area of the golf bag, which easily moves from a closed position to an open position, and a drawer or integrated compartment in the throat area.

1 . An apparatus for a golf bag comprising: 
 A housing with a first housing end and a second housing end;    A throat apparatus, which is attached to the first housing end, and comprises:    A throat body; 
 The throat body has least one first throat opening;  
 The throat body at least one elongated slot opening;  
   A slider frame; 
 The slider frame having at least one clip, which removably engages the throat body;  
   At least one sliding locking piece; 
 The at least one sliding locking piece having at least one sliding locking piece groove; and  
 The at least one sliding locking piece is connected to the slider frame through the at least one elongated slot opening on the throat body, whereby the throat apparatus is able to assume a closed position and an open position.  
   
   
   
       2 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the throat body has at least one second throat opening.  
   
   
       3 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the throat body has at least one drawer.  
   
   
       4 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the housing of the golf bag has at least one drawer and at least one handle.  
   
   
       5 . A golf bag throat apparatus for holding at least one golf club, having a head and a shaft, comprising: 
 A throat body; 
 The throat body has least one first throat opening;  
 The throat body having at least one slot opening;  
   A slider frame; 
 The slider frame having at least one retainer, which removably engages the throat body;  
   At least one sliding locking piece; 
 The at least one sliding locking piece having at least one sliding locking piece groove;  
 The at least one sliding locking piece is connected to the slider frame through the at least one slot opening on the throat body;  
   Whereby the throat apparatus is able to assume a closed position and open position; 
 In the closed position of the throat apparatus, the retainer of the slider frame engages the throat body so that the at least one sliding locking piece frictionally engages the club head against the throat body;  
 In the open position of the throat apparatus, the retainer of the slider frame disengages the throat body so that the at least one sliding locking piece moves so that club head is no longer frictionally engaged against the throat body.  
   
   
   
       6 . The apparatus of  claim 5  herein the throat body has at least one second throat opening.  
   
   
       7 . The apparatus of  claim 5  wherein the throat body has at least one drawer.  
   
   
       8 . A golf bag throat apparatus for holding at least one golf club, having a head and a shaft, comprising: 
 A throat body; 
 The throat body has least one first throat opening;  
 The throat body having a first slot opening and a second slot opening;  
   A slider frame; 
 The slider frame having at least one retainer, which removably engages the throat body;  
   A first and a second sliding locking piece; 
 Each sliding locking piece having at least one sliding locking piece groove;  
 The first sliding locking piece is connected to the slider frame through the first slot opening on the throat body;  
 The second sliding locking piece is connected to the slider frame through the second slot opening on the throat body;  
   Whereby the throat apparatus is able to assume a closed position and open position; 
 In the closed position of the throat apparatus, the retainer of the slider frame engages the throat body so that the sliding locking pieces frictionally engage the club head against the throat body;  
 In the open position of the throat apparatus, the retainer of the slider frame disengages the throat body so that the sliding locking pieces move so that club head is no longer frictionally engaged against the throat body and is able to be removed.  
   
   
   
       9 . The apparatus of  claim 8  wherein the throat body has at least one second throat opening.  
   
   
       10 . The apparatus of  claim 8  wherein the throat body has at least one drawer.
