Abstract
A transport device for athletic equipment includes a transport container movable over the ground, e.g. on wheels through a telescoping push rod. The container has front and rear surfaces inclined toward each other and joined by a rounded connect surface extending front to back. The container is also divided along its longitudinal central plane into two side-by-side half shells locked together. The half shells may be pivotally connected to each other to swing with respect to each other. A cover extends over the top of the container. A channel extends substantially parallel to an inclined surface to receive an end of elongated athletic articles which can extend out of the top of the container. The channel may be slightly conically tapered in shape. A spreading device at the top of the channel may separate the elongate articles being held there. A device along the handle may hold the upstanding ends of the elongate articles in the container. The cover also may have openings through it for passage of athletic articles.
