2. Description of the Prior Art
The bowling game is one of the ball games with a long history. It is both welcome as an amateur amusement and a professional sport in the international society as well. In all, bowling game is a sport in which the bowling ball is rolled at a row of bowling pins trying to knock down them, and the score obtained will be higher if more pins being knocked down. For gaining higher score, it is a paramount importance to select proper bowling balls. Generally speaking, a heavier ball which has a larger kinetic energy is easier to knock down the pin. On the other hand, a heavier ball is hard to manipulate. Accordingly, selection of balls will be determined by user's physical condition and regular habit. A usual bowling player does not forget to prepare for himself/herself several numbers of balls for the game managing to get a better record.
Since the bowling balls are considerably heavy, a special care must be taken when carrying or storing them so as to protect them not to be damaged due to mutual collision or falling down that might result in hurting the working personal or damaging the surrounding articles. Therefore it is a must to make up a well designed bowling ball bag for carrying or preserving the balls securely.

In such a case, the player has to prepare several extra bags to accommodate the additional balls to meet his/her special requirement. As the bags for one, two, three or four balls are generally not a standard product so it is unable to carry or be loaded on the cart at random. Should it really has been loaded on the cart, it is not practically convenient for the player, and he/she has to put up with the ugly appearance of the equipment. The clever player may not consider to purchase so many different types of bowling ball bags to carry various number of balls to embarrass himself/herself.
Meanwhile, the conventional cart for loading the bowling ball bags is usually very heavy to settle or remove in a narrow space as in the public transportation facilities. In this case one has to carry the bag with hand or on the shoulder that embarrasses the player very much or even causes a bad effect to the playing record.
For these shortcomings noticeable on the prior situation, an improvement is seriously required.
The inventor of the present invention has plunged into this matter for years to studying and rectifying these defects and finally has come up with this movable bowling ball bag as provided in this invention to eliminate the prior defects mentioned above.

The bag proper is provided with a side bag in the yoke direction for storing regular small accessories, or forming a supported loading space by developing the side bag on the yoke in time of need, the loading space may be allowed to store a spare bowling ball. The bag proper has two auxiliary wheels installed at one end of its bottom part, and an auxiliary yoke is provided at the other end thereof so as to enable the bag proper to be carried alone for use. In case there needs a larger vacant space, the bag proper can be entrained on a specially designed cart on which another spare bag can be loaded to store some balls or other accessories.
