Abstract

A kit of elements for erecting a golf bag and a ground rollable support assembly therefor, comprising: a golf bag having a rigid support structure, a wheel structure, and a manoeuvring structure, wherein the wheel structure and the manoeuvring structure is releasably attachable to the support structure. An assembly of a golf bag and a ground rollable support structure comprising: a golf bag having a rigid support structure, a wheel structure, and a manoeuvring structure, wherein the wheel structure and the manoeuvring structure are releasably attached to the support structure. A collapsible wheel structure adapted to be attached to a mobile appliance, and comprising two supporting arms each of which has a folded and an unfolded configuration and each of the two supporting arms are individually attachable to the mobile appliance.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A kit of elements for erecting a golf bag and a ground rollable support assembly therefor, comprising:
 a golf bag having a rigid support structure;   a wheel structure; and   a manoeuvring structure;   
     characterised in that the wheel structure and the manoeuvring structure is releasably attachable to the support structure. 
   
   
       2 . A kit according to  claim 1 , wherein the rigid support structure is integrated in the golf bag, with at least a part of the rigid support structure forming an outer surface of the golf bag. 
   
   
       3 . A kit according to  claim 1 , wherein the wheel structure and/or the manoeuvring structure has a folded state and an unfolded state between which the wheel structure and/or the manoeuvring structure may be shifted. 
   
   
       4 . A kit according to  claim 1 , wherein the support structure comprises a first attachment element adapted to engage a corresponding second attachment element of the wheel structure and/or the manoeuvring structure so as to attach said wheel structure and/or manoeuvring structure to the golf bag. 
   
   
       5 . A kit according to  claim 4 , wherein a part of the first attachment element defines an outer surface of the golf bag. 
   
   
       6 . A kit according to  claim 1 , wherein the manoeuvring structure is releasably attachable to the rigid support structure at a top part of the golf bag. 
   
   
       7 . A kit according to  claim 1 , wherein the wheel structure comprises:
 a first wheel structure releasably attachable to the rigid support structure at a bottom part of the golf bag; and   a second wheel structure releasably attachable to the support structure between the bottom part and the top part of the golf bag.   
   
   
       8 . A kit according to  claim 1 , wherein the second wheel structure comprises a suspension element adapted to dampen the relative movement between a wheel of the second wheel structure and the golf bag. 
   
   
       9 . A kit according to  claim 1 , wherein the rigid support structure is permanently attached to or forms part of the golf bag. 
   
   
       10 . A kit according to  claim 3 , wherein the golf bag and at the wheel structure and/or the manoeuvring structure are dimensioned such that the wheel structure or the manoeuvring structure, respectively, may be accommodated in the golf bag, when the wheel structure is in its folded state. 
   
   
       11 . An assembly of a golf bag and a ground rollable support structure comprising:
 a golf bag having a rigid support structure;   a wheel structure; and   a manoeuvring structure;   
     characterised in that the wheel structure and the manoeuvring structure is releasably attached to the support structure. 
   
   
       12 . A collapsible wheel structure adapted to be releasably attached to a mobile appliance, said wheel structure comprising:
 at least two wheels; and
 a wheel supporting structure comprising: 
   two supporting arms each of which has a folded and an unfolded configuration, the two supporting arms being symmetrical around a centre plane in the unfolded configuration,   each arm comprising a first arm section which, in the unfolded configuration, is proximal with respect to the centre plane, and a second arm section which, in the unfolded configuration, is distal with respect to said centre plane,   the first and second arms sections of each arm being pivotally interconnected, so that the two sections of each arm extend away from the centre plane in the unfolded configuration, the second section of each arm defining a hinged end at which a hinged end of the first arm section is hinged, and an opposite wheel supporting end comprising a supporting element for supporting at least one wheel, wherein, in the folded configuration, the wheel supporting end of said second arm section is closer to the hinged end of the first arm section than the hinged end of the second arm section,   
     characterised in that each of the two supporting arms are individually attachable to the mobile appliance by means of a first attachment structure adapted to releasably attach each of the supporting arms to a corresponding second attachment structure of the mobile appliance. 
   
   
       13 . A wheel structure according to  claim 12 , wherein the two supporting arms are releasably attachable to each other. 
   
   
       14 . A wheel structure according to  claim 12 , wherein each of the supporting element comprises at least one hub for releasably attachment of one of said wheels. 
   
   
       15 . A wheel structure according to  claim 14 , wherein each of the supporting arms is adapted to accommodate the hub of the other supporting arm so as to provide a compact storage configuration of the two supporting arms. 
   
   
       16 . A collapsible wheel structure for a mobile appliance, comprising:
 at least two wheels connectable to a supporting structure, each wheel defining at least one cavity encircled by a rim portion of the wheel;   a wheel supporting structure movable between a folded and an unfolded configuration, and comprising two supporting arms which in the unfolded configuration form rotational axes for the wheels and which are symmetrical around a central plane,   
     characterised in that the supporting structure is adapted to be accommodated in a space formed at least partly by the cavities of the wheels. 
   
   
       17 . A structure according to  claim 16 , wherein the entire supporting structure is adapted to be accommodated in the space formed by the cavities of the wheels. 
   
   
       18 . A structure according to  claim 16 , wherein said cavity encircled by the rim portion of each wheel comprises a space between an axle of the wheel and the rim portion.
