A golf cart has an undercarriage for receiving a bag, a foldable center pole hinged to the undercarriage, and two legs which can be swung in toward the bag and are hinged to the undercarriage, the legs moving apart downwardly in swung-out position and carrying running wheels which are parallel both in swung-out and swung-in position. The wheels, in the swung-in position, laterally flank the bag and have their bottoms flush with the base of the bag, the wheels projecting beyond the front side of the bag, the center pole being located at the front of the bag.

A golf cart, comprising: an undercarriage for receiving a bag; a center pole hinged to the undercarriage and adapted to fold down against the front of the bag into a stored position and capable of being swung forward and up into a working position; two legs which are hinged to the undercarriage and can be swung in toward the undercarriage, said legs being movable laterally apart and downwardly from a swung-in storage position to a swung-out working position and carrying running wheels, the running wheels being parallel to each other in both the swung-out and swung-in positions, the wheels in the swung-in position closely laterally flanking the bag and having their bottoms flush with or above the base of the bag and projecting beyond the front side of the bag, the center pole in its folded down stored position extending down along the front side of the bag, each leg being constructed as a parallelogram linkage comprising two bars, the legs in their swung-in storage position lying along the center portion of the front side of the bag; a generally L-shaped wheel carrier provided on the bottom of each leg, each said generally L-shaped wheel carrier having first and second arms joined substantial1y at a right angle to each other, the first arm being pivota11y supported on the lower ends of the two bars of the associated leg and extending laterally outward therefrom, said second arm being fixed to the laterally outboard end of said first arm and extending generally rearward therefrom to a free end on which is rotatably supported the associated wheel, the two generally L-shaped wheel carriers in their swung-in positions wrapping snugly around the front and sides of the bottom portion of the bag, the center pole being plate-shaped and sized to cover the legs when the legs are in their swung-in position against the center portion of the front side of the bag and the center pole is folded down against the front of the bag; wherein the plate-shaped center pole is provided at its free end with an end recess closed by a handle to form a hand opening for pulling the cart in said workirg position, each L-shaped wheel carrier having a respective lead-shaped thickened portion fixed thereon where it pivotally engages the bottom ends of the corresponding two bars of the corresponding leg, each thickened portion having a respective recess therein pivotally receiving the bottom ends of the corresponding two bars of the corresponding leg, the two bars being pivotally secured to the corresponding thickened portion on a pair of axes which pair of axes pass through the corresponding recess in the corresponding thickened portion of the corresponding wheel carrier, the thickened portions of the wheel carriers being received in said hand opening of the center pole with the legs ard center pole in their storage position folded against the front of the bag.
