US Patent 7357251 Top cuff with dividers for golf bags

A top cuff for a golf bag that has an outer collar and two sets of arcuate dividers. The first set of arcuate dividers may be angled in a first downward direction relative to the top of the top cuff. The second set of arcuate dividers are angled in a downward direction that is opposite from the downward angled direction of the first set of arcuate dividers. Each arcuate divider from the second set intersects at least one arcuate divider from the first set of arcuate dividers along a central axis extending vertically through the top cuff. The downward angled direction of each of the arcuate dividers allows golf clubs, when placed within each compartment, to be carried away from the central portion of the top cuff and come to rest near the outer collar, thereby minimizing contact between golf clubs.
