Golf accessory caddy

Abstract

A caddy for securing golf or other accessories therein and attaching to a beverage container insulating device that is sometimes carried while golfing. The golf accessory caddy includes a carrier having a fastener and housing with mounting provisions that enable various configurations of accessory arrangements. The fastener allows the caddy to be removably or permanently affixed to various designs of beverage container insulating devices. Preferred and alternate embodiments include design features that provide motion-based advertising opportunities for golf, automotive, and casinos to name a few.

I claim: 
     
         1 . A golf accessory caddy adapted to mate with an insulator set at least partially over or around a beverage container, said golf accessory caddy comprising:
 a. a carrier comprising a rear side and a front side separated along an axial line,   b. a mounting element along said rear side, said mounting element adapted with a support frame member coupled to said carrier and an extending member, said insulator captured in a space between said support frame member and said extending member.   
     
     
         2 . The golf accessory caddy of  claim 1  wherein the carrier further comprises a fixed circular or conical lever mount within said carrier, and a bearing mount nested into said lever mount. 
     
     
         3 . The golf accessory caddy of  claim 2  wherein said bearing mount comprises a polygonal shape with at least one side wall substantially planar and parallel said axial line. 
     
     
         4 . The golf accessory caddy of  claim 1  further comprising a rotating wheel coupled to said carrier, said rotating wheel mounted on a lever mount via a bearing element, said rotating wheel coupled to said bearing element, said rotating wheel comprising an inner face directed towards the rear side and a front face directed to said front side and an outer ring portion. 
     
     
         5 . The golf accessory caddy as set forth in  claim 4  further comprising a torsion spring coupled to said rotating wheel and biasing rotation of said wheel along said axial line. 
     
     
         6 . The golf accessory caddy as set forth in  claim 5  further comprising an actuator moving between a first and second position, wherein said second position incorporates additional potential energy stored in said torsion spring, and upon release, said torsion spring biases said actuator to said first position and transfers energy from said torsion spring to both of said actuator arm to cause said actuator arm to return to said first position and said rotating wheel as rotational kinetic energy. 
     
     
         7 . The golf accessory caddy as set forth in  claim 6  wherein said actuator comprises a rotatable lever arm mounted around said lever mount. 
     
     
         8 . The golf accessory caddy as set forth in  claim 6  wherein said actuator comprises a push bar coupled to said rotating wheel. 
     
     
         9 . The golf accessory caddy as set forth in  claim 4  further comprising a power source mounted within said carrier, said power source comprising a battery in electrical communication with an actuator having an activation button, said actuator initiating a motor to rotate said rotating wheel. 
     
     
         10 . The golf accessory caddy as set forth in  claim 1  further comprising a stationary ball marker on a rotating wheel coupled to said front side, said ball marker comprising a diameter less than a rotating wheel diameter so that outer ring portions of said rotating wheel are set around said ball marker, wherein the rotating wheel is arranged behind said ball marker adapted to rotate along the axial line while the ball marker remains stationary. 
     
     
         11 . The golf accessory caddy as set forth in  claim 10  further comprising a partially circumferential shield at least partially occluding portions of said rotating wheel outer ring portion. 
     
     
         12 . The golf accessory caddy as set forth in  claim 1  wherein said support frame is coupled to a beverage container. 
     
     
         13 . A golf accessory caddy adapted to mate with an insulator set at least partially over or around a beverage container, said golf accessory caddy comprising:
 a. a carrier comprising a rear side and a front side separated along an axial line,   b. a mounting element along said rear side, said mounting element adapted with a support frame member coupled to said carrier and an extending member, wherein a portion of said insulator is adapted to fit between said extending member and said support frame member, said insulator captured in a space between said support frame member and said extending member,   c. said carrier housing a fixed circular or conical lever mount, said lever mount arranged around said axial line and directed towards the front side,   d. a bearing mount nested into said lever mount;   e. a bearing mounted onto said bearing mount, said bearing in mechanical communication with a rotating wheel, said rotating wheel comprising an inner face directed towards the rear side and a front face directed to said front side and an outer ring portion with indicia along the circumferential edge of said front face.   
     
     
         14 . The golf accessory caddy as set forth in  claim 13  further comprising a torsion spring coupled to said rotating wheel and biasing rotation of said wheel along said axial line. 
     
     
         15 . The golf accessory caddy as set forth in  claim 13  further comprising an actuator moving between a first and second position, wherein said second position incorporates additional potential energy stored in said torsion spring, and upon release, said torsion spring biases said actuator to said first position and transfers energy from said torsion spring to both of said actuator arm to cause said actuator arm to return to said first position and said rotating wheel as rotational kinetic energy. 
     
     
         16 . The golf accessory caddy as set forth in  claim 15  wherein said actuator comprises a rotatable lever arm mounted around said lever mount. 
     
     
         17 . The golf accessory caddy as set forth in  claim 15  wherein said actuator comprises a push bar coupled to said rotating wheel. 
     
     
         18 . The golf accessory caddy as set forth in  claim 13  further comprising a power source mounted within said carrier, said power source comprising a battery in electrical communication with an actuator having an activation button, said actuator initiating a motor to rotate said rotating wheel. 
     
     
         19 . The golf accessory caddy as set forth in  claim 13  further comprising a stationary ball marker coupled to said front side, said ball marker comprising a diameter less than a rotating wheel diameter, wherein the rotating wheel is arranged behind said ball marker adapted to rotate along the axial line while the ball marker remains stationary, and further comprising a partially circumferential shield at least partially occluding portions of said rotating wheel outer ring portion. 
     
     
         20 . The golf accessory caddy as set forth in  claim 13  wherein said mounting element comprises a mounting post.
