    to be worn and damaged in contact with each other. Since golf clubs often require a relatively high value, the user usually wishes to avoid this if possible. It is also a significant advantage if each club has its own exact place in the golf bag, with a predetermined angle for the club head, so that the player can more easily find, grip and lift up the right golf club.
    It is therefore advantageous if the clubs can be placed with the club heads in different directions from each other and at different heights and locked in place in the golf bag so that they do not fall out or detach from their position and start to wear or be damaged against each other. The golf bag becomes much more space-efficient as only the club shaft needs space and the club heads can be separated from each other. Some attempts at such systems are already known.
    For example, US7303070 shows a golf club bag with a platform provided with fourteen holes for golf clubs. Each hole is marked with a number that is meant to correspond to the number of a specific golf club. In each hole is placed a tube which at its upper end is provided with a U-shaped recess or groove which can hold a golf club and keep its head directed at a certain angle. A lid is arranged to be able to be closed over the club head to prevent moisture and rain from entering and can thus also lock the club in the occupied position.
    Disadvantages of this system are that the club must be manually aligned correctly and inserted into the recess, that the lid must be opened to allow the club to be lowered into the holder and then closed to hold the club in place during transport. The lid requires space to be handled.
    Additional disadvantages are that a single size of the holder cannot be used for golf clubs with widely differing sizes, but the holder must be manufactured in a number of different sizes, which complicates and makes manufacturing, warehousing and sales more expensive.
    US6244437 shows a form of holder for golf clubs and consists of a short tube and with a "guide or locking" device mounted at the top. This solution requires a unique locking device adapted to each unique golf club shape because different club heads do not fit in one and the same reading device. It complicates and makes manufacturing and marketing more expensive.
    US4194547 discloses a golf club bag with separate tubes for each golf club. Special holders, common to several clubs, are arranged so that the golf clubs can be directed at a certain angle in relation to each other. Disadvantages of this construction are that the holders do not lock the clubs and cannot direct the heads of the clubs in directions desired and determined by the user.
    US2992012 discloses a golf bag comprising a plurality of tubular holders provided with a funnel-shaped opening at the top. The construction does not allow the golf clubs to be locked in their respective holders, nor can the heads of the golf clubs be permanently directed at a certain angle. The golf clubs can easily rotate in their holders and hit each other and also fall out at e.g. transport, if the golf bag is placed in the luggage compartment of a vehicle.
    These systems can thus, with the aid of a single form of holder, in a practical and simple way direct and lock the clubs at a certain angle in relation to each other and in some cases require manual handling of a lid or similar reading device. The constructions intended to be able to hold or lock clubs therefore do not support club heads with different shapes and with different sizes.
    In most known systems, the club heads protrude beyond the edge of the golf bag and the clubs risk being damaged, especially during transport.
    SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the invention is to solve the above problems and to demonstrate a holder which allows objects such as golf clubs of different shapes and sizes, in one and / or locked in a certain simple way, to be directed and held, position and angle in a golf bag.
    Another object of the invention is that the holder should be small, light and compact and easy to install together with other holders in existing or new golf bags on the market.
    A further object of the invention is to create a flexible system which allows a any number of holders to be installed next to each other, for example in one and the same golf bag.
    Another object of the invention is that each individual holder should be able to be installed at any height, e.g. in a golf bag, and directed in any direction to achieve an individually impactable and purposeful and surface-efficient placement of all golf clubs. These and further objects and advantages are achieved according to the invention with a holder designed in accordance with the features stated in the characterizing part of claim 1.
    The invention thus essentially consists of a tube, or a corresponding space intended for the shafts of the golf clubs, e.g. cloth pockets etc, and on top of this detachable or fixed mount, e.g. glued, specially designed holder part, locking head or club lock for the club head. substantially cylindrical and provided with an upwardly open substantially taped or welded. The locking head is similarly funnel-shaped mouth and with a substantially V-shaped recess arranged at the front in the side wall.
    The holder is arranged to be able to receive a golf club and its head and is designed so that the club's head automatically falls into place, is directed and fixed so that it assumes a certain angle in the horizontal direction. The lock for the club head sits at least slightly over the length of each individual golf club.
    For longer transports of the golf bag, the holders can direct the clubs towards the middle of the bag and where the clubs are at different levels, which thus provides additional protection from damage. It is also possible to combine the system with holders with headcovers (fabric protection) for maximum protection.
    The clubs can also be locked by manually pushing them harder into each holder. Due to the elasticity of the locking head in the area of the V-shaped opening / edge, and the friction between the head and the edge of the golf club, the clubs remain in the holders so that they do not fall out or be damaged by contact with each other.
    With the holder according to the invention, a flexible system is created in that the holders are optionally and easily movable and can be mounted and can be placed in any place in the bag. The user can also decide the number of pourers, e.g. 1-14 pcs, to be mounted in the bag.
    Many golf clubs are designed relatively evenly at the neck between the shaft and the club head, while the angle between the sides of the club head and its trailing edge can vary between about 90 degrees, e.g. for a driver, and about 10 degrees, for example for a long iron club. Putters often have an angle of about 180 degrees between the shaft and the striking surface, but can nevertheless be placed and held in the holder according to the invention.
    At the top, the holder substantially encloses the neck of the golf club and at least a small part of both sides of the golf club head, and through the V-shaped recess the club is guided, and locked at a certain angle. Depending on the size of the golf club and the angle of the club head, the golf club ends up higher or lower in the V-shaped recess of the hob, but always automatically at a desired fixed angle.
    The holder is mounted on a tube of standard type or at another suitable space for the shafts and the length of e.g. the tube can be varied optionally depending on the different lengths of the clubs or to get a good overview of the club stock in the bag.
    The holders are fixed in the golf bag by means of a device specially designed for this purpose (not shown) or by means of tape, hooks, clips, Velcro straps, sewn strap fasteners or the like. Because the club and the club head hang in the hobs, the shaft does not wear. In the rest position, parts of the sides of the club head are in contact with the edges of the read head and its V-shaped recess.
    In addition, the club receives a support from a third point, for example the upper part of the shaft placed at the bottom of the space for the shaft, e.g. in the tube. A support point can also be thought to be in the rear edge of the club head where it supports against the rear inner wall of the locking head. When the club is lowered into the holder, the club head is automatically controlled to assume a certain angle in relation to the center axis of the holder. Because the club head is in a fixed position in the holder, it is possible to mount the holders so that the club heads are angled at an angle from each other, which enables existing existing, and new golf bags, to be made more space-efficient for the golf club shaft space itself.
    The holders according to the invention fit all normal golf bags and golf clubs such as left, right, ladies', men's, iron and wooden clubs as well as putters, wedges, hybrids etc. The holders can fix the club head in any direction in relation to (upwards -, the golf bag's intended center axis, ie O-360 degrees downwards, or directed to the sides), seen from above. It is also possible to make the holders rotatable in the golf bag, whereby the club heads can be directed away from each other during use / play, which gives a desired clarity, and directed towards the middle of the bag, which protects the clubs during transport, especially during longer air transports.
    The holders not only control the club heads but these are locked in position by being manually pressed further into the holder which is an important feature as golf bags are often subjected to mechanical shocks and jump around on golf carts and when carried or pulled around on their carts, especially in rougher terrain.
    Through the invention, existing or new golf bags become significantly more space-efficient, protective and clear. The holders according to the invention also help to reduce noise from the golf bag and the clubs, when they are moved, since the clubs do not hit each other, against the edge of the bag (club protection of eg fabric) superfluous, which protections are otherwise necessary for that etc. This also makes headcovers avoid / reduce wear and surface damage to the clubs during play.
    The holders also enable a faster golf game because the players do not have to handle headcovers and it is also faster to find a raw club.
    Drainage holes in the holders prevent the club shafts from getting wet in the rain and in heavy rainy weather the holders can be angled so that they provide rain protection for the club shafts.
    It has not previously been known to provide a holder for golf clubs which solves said problems and which has the desired benefits.
    Further features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following, more detailed description of the invention, and from the accompanying drawings and other claims.
    BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The invention is described in more detail below in some preferred embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings.

    DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention thus relates to a holder or club lock for golf clubs and for placement and mounting in an existing or newly manufactured golf bag and which can direct / fix and also hold different types of clubs in the bag on a 10 15 20 25 In a predetermined and desirable manner so that the heads of the clubs are kept at a certain angle relative to each other and which allow the clubs to be easily lifted out and put back in the bag so that the clubs do not risk hitting each other during play or during transport.
    Figures 1a-b show some examples of prior art in the field.
    More specifically, Figure 1a shows the invention described in US4194547 and shows a golf bag 1 with separate tubes 2 or clamps 3 for each golf club 4. Special direction means 5,6, common to several clubs 4, are arranged so that the golf clubs 4 can be placed at a certain angle in relationship to each other. The disadvantage of this construction is that the directing means 5,6 do not automatically direct the lugs 4, and do not allow an optional alignment of the lugs 4 and cannot lock the lugs 4 in their position. Figure 1b shows another holder 7 for a golf bag and consists of a tube 8 which at its upper end is provided with a U-shaped recess 9 or groove which can retain the head of a golf club 4 in a certain direction. A lid 10 is arranged to be able to be closed over the head of the club 4 to prevent e.g. rain to enter and can thus also read the club 4 in the holder 7. Disadvantages of this system are that the club 4 must be manually aligned in the recess 9, that the lid 10 must be opened to allow the club 4 to be lowered into the holder 7 and closed to hold the club 4 in place during transport. Further disadvantages are that the holder 7 cannot be used for golf clubs 4 with club heads in widely different sizes unless the holder 7 is manufactured in a number of different sizes or variants.
    Figure 2 shows from the side a section through a holder 11 according to the invention or a golf club lock. A tube 12 of, for example, PVC is mounted on a locking head 13 made of a preferably elastic material such as a plastic material. The locking head 13 10 15 20 25 30 11 is substantially circular and slightly funnel-shaped, i.e. slightly wider and wider at the top than at the bottom, to facilitate the lowering of a golf club and for the club head to fit. The locking head 13 is provided at the bottom with a collar or flange 14 whose inner diameter is adapted to the outer diameter of the connecting pipe 12, so that the locking head 13 can be mounted releasably or fixedly to the pipe 12. The locking head 13 is formed with an obliquely cut opening 15 formed on such seen from the side, the edge 16 of the opening substantially forms an oblique angle Q with respect to the intended center axis of the locking head 13.
    This angle G should be between 30 and 70 degrees but is preferably about 45 degrees. This oblique edge 16 guides the head of the club to turn to the desired position in the holder 11. Down to, at the side of the locking head 13 against which the opening slopes, a downwardly directed recess 17 is arranged adjacent to the opening 15, which extends from the opening 15. down along the front side of the locking head 13. The recess 17 thus essentially describes the shape of a V (see figure 3). By means of the bevelled edges 16, the recess 17 and its further extended edges 16b in the V-shape, the head of the golf club is guided and rotated in a desired direction, out of the holder 11, when the club is lowered into the holder 11 so that the club head is oriented in the desired direction. relation to the center axis of the holder 11.
    The inclined sides of the opening 15 and V-shaped recess 17 in combination with the elastic material of the reading head 13 make it possible for the club head to be guided and wedged or clamped so that the club head, and thus the club, and thus the holder 11. This is ensured by material remains in the locking head 13 in the read head 13, at least in the area of the opening 15,17, its edges 16 and sides 18, is somewhat resilient or elastic / resilient when a club head is pressed down between the edges 16 and sides 18 of the V-shaped recess 17. The edges 16 of the opening 15 substantially enclose the rear part of the club head.
    It is also possible to design the surface material of the edge 16, at least in the area of the V-shaped recess 17, so that a greater friction is achieved, e.g. by creating an uneven material surface, or that all or parts of the edge 17 are coated with a friction-increasing material, such as e.g. a rubber compound, a silicone substance or the like. It is also possible that the entire upper part of the locking head 13, i.e. the part which forms the opening upwards and which constitutes the edge portion, is manufactured in one material than the locking head 13 in another, e.g. more elastic, otherwise.
    To further reinforce the V-shape, the front portion of the locking head 13, in the area of the recess 17, is slightly extended and extends from the otherwise substantially cylindrical shape. The locking head 13 is thus somewhat asymmetrical in its horizontal cross-section and the cross-sectional shape can be described as teardrop-shaped (see Figure 6).
    Figure 3 shows the holder 11 and the locking head 13 according to figure 2, but from the front, ie from the side towards which the V-shaped recess 17 is directed. Here the 17 V shape of the recess is clearer. In order to also be able to lock clubs with smaller heads, the V-shape is distinct and deeper, ie with a greater extent in the vertical direction. The side portions 18 of the recess 17 are thus somewhat elastic / flexible and can be pressed outwards when a golf club is pressed down into the holder 11.
    Figure 4 shows the holder 11 and the locking head 13, in Figures 2 and 3, from the side. The edge 16 of the opening 15 is slightly outwardly curved and provides a softly rounded surface which results in a larger abutment surface against the club head in this area and thus provides a more expedient friction to more easily retain the golf club in the holder 11. Figure 5 shows the holder 11 according to Figures 2 - 4 but in an oblique view from the front. It can be seen here how the oblique cut of the opening 15 through the locking head 13 ends forwards / downwards with a V-shaped recess 17.
    Figure 6 shows the holder 11 according to figures 2 - 5 but from above. The opening 15 has a heart-shaped appearance from this viewing angle and the edge 16 forms an angle of about 90 degrees in the upper rear part of the locking head 13. Most golf clubs, except the putter, have a shape with an angle in its rear part of less than 90 degrees. The edge 16 of the opening further describes a round shape on each side which slopes from the rear edge to the V-shaped recess 17.
    Figure 7 shows, from the side, an alternatively designed holder 11. The edge 16 of the opening 15 is here wider designed to create a larger abutment surface and better support for the golf club head.
    The locking head 13 is provided with drainage holes 19 in case rain falls into the opening 15.
    Figure 8 shows the alternative holder 11 according to figure 7, but straight ahead, the recess of the recess 17 V being clear.
    Figure 9 shows a further alternative holder 11, from the side, with an iron club 20 placed in the holder 11. The club 20 has here been oriented with the club head forward, towards the viewer.
    Figure 10 shows the same alternatively designed holder 11 as in figure 9 but with a wooden mallet 21 placed in the holder 11.
    Figure 11 shows in side view a golf bag 22 with a plurality of holders 11 according to the invention arranged with their openings 15 substantially oriented out from the center of the golf bag 22. Two clubs 20,21 are placed in separate holders 11. An optional 14 number of holders 11 can be placed in one and the same golf bag 22 and the holders 11 and / or its locking heads 13 can be rotated to the desired direction / position.
    The above description is primarily intended to facilitate the understanding of the invention. The invention is therefore, of course, not only limited to the stated embodiments, but also other variants of the invention are possible and conceivable within the scope of the inventive concept and the scope of the following claims. Thus, it is also conceivable to use the holder for purposes other than golf clubs and to wedge other objects which for some reason need to be held in a certain direction but still be easily detached by the user. Such examples are, for example, holders for hammers and other tools with shafts, but also as pistol holsters where the barrel can be lowered into a tubular space. The invention can also be used for display / sales purposes in stores etc.
