A mount for supporting an open umbrella from an object has a bracket adapted to be secured to a portion of the object and a holder for supporting the umbrella. The holder has a receptacle adapted to receive and support the downwardly inserted handle of the umbrella and a yoke oriented to receive the shaft of the umbrella. A spring biased pin permits rapid insertion and removal of the shaft into and from the yoke. Preferably, the receptacle is slidably engaged relative to the yoke so that the umbrella canopy can be lowered to closely shield the object. A hinge connecting the holder to the bracket permits the umbrella to be positioned at any desired angle in relation to the object.

Abstract:

A mount for securing a putter in a golf bag has a bracket seatable on and securable to the mouth of the golf bag and an elongated open-top receptacle pivotally mounted proximate its longitudinal center to and above the bracket. The receptacle has a bottom wall opening through which the putter shaft extends into the golf bag and side walls contoured to receive the head of the putter with at least a portion of the top of the putter head resting on the bottom wall of the receptacle. The pivotal angular relationship between the receptacle and the bracket is adjustable to a position in which the putter shaft is aligned approximately parallel to the longitudinal axis of the golf bag when the putter head is resting on the bottom of the receptacle. The receptacle can be interchanged to accommodate either blade or mallet style putters. The same receptacle accommodates both left and right handed putters.
