However, there are several disadvantages to these carrying methods.
First, wrapping the plans in craft paper alone fails to protect the plans from being creased or folded.
Second, the long mailing tubes are often used and re-used such that they become dirty, thereby contaminating the plans contained within them.
Also, plans contained within these long mailing tubes are often difficult to remove, resulting in the plans being torn or wrinkled.
This means for carrying plans as well as other standard-sized documents in separate carrying cases is burdensome.

Embodiment Construction

[0016] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the present invention comprises a main bag portion 10 of a length sufficient to carry architectural drawings or similarly sized documents. Preferably, the length of the main bag portion 10 is between 32 and 37 inches. The main bag portion 10 has a closed bottom 12 that is generally round in shape. Preferably, the main bag portion 10 has a width of 13 inches when laid flat, and a diameter of about 8 inches. The main bag portion 10 has an open top 14 that can be fastened, e.g., with a nylon cord 16 extending through a channel 18 sewn around the circumference of the uppermost end of the main bag portion 10. In this embodiment, the two ends of the nylon cord 16 are attached to a unitary fastening device 20, such as a grommet. To fasten the main bag portion 10, the two ends of the nylon cord 16 are pulled outwardly from the main bag portion 10 and the grommet 20 is moved inwardly toward the main bag portion 10 to prevent the channel 18 of the...

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION(S) [0001] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 60 / 518,967, filed Nov. 10, 2003, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0002] The invention is directed to carrying cases for architectural drawings and supplies. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003] Typically, architects, engineers, contractors and developers roll their drawings or plans and either cover them with craft paper for protection or contain them within long mailing tubes. However, there are several disadvantages to these carrying methods. First, wrapping the plans in craft paper alone fails to protect the plans from being creased or folded. Second, the long mailing tubes are often used and re-used such that they become dirty, thereby contaminating the plans contained within them. Also, plans contained within these long mailing tubes are often difficult to remove, resulting in the plans being torn or wrink...
