Benefits of technology

[0012] It is a primary object of the invention to offer a sling device that allows a surfer to carry a surfboard hands free while walking to and from a surfing destination over an extended distance, riding a bicycle or traversing terrain that requires use of both hands.
[0013] It is a secondary object of the invention to offer a beach sling that can be used as a body protection to assist in changing clothes at the destination.
[0017] It is a sixth object of the present invention to offer a beach sling that can be used as a baby sling to carry a baby with ease around the beach.

Problems solved by technology

Carrying an elongated load such as a surfboard can be cumbersome and walking an extended distance with a board can be tiring.
Unfortunately, it requires the use of at least one hand and does not go up steps.
This configuration has the drawback of a complex system of straps that would be compromised by particles of silica sand from the beach.

second embodiment

[0041]FIG. 4 shows the present invention wherein the main sling member 10 has a first panel 20 with a first edge 21 parallel to the horizontal dimension and a second panel 22 with a second edge 23, which is also parallel to the horizontal dimension. Preferably, strip 24 of polypropylene fabric reinforces the edge 21 and strip 25 of the same material reinforces the edge 23. The strips of polypropylene fabric 24 and 25 being linearly shaped are preferably rectangular.

[0042] Also preferably, the strips 24 and 25 are sewn over the edges 21 and 23 respectively, when three loops 30a-30c are sewn together on the edge 21 to provide a fastening means. One of the loops is loop 30c in the center of the edge strip 24 extending upward from the longitudinal edge of the strip 24 and the loops 30a and 30b are similarly fixed at locations distanced equally from the center to near the lateral ends of the strip 24. The loops 30a-30c may be of the same material as the strip 24. The fastening means also...

third embodiment

[0051] the present invention is illustrated in FIG. 6, wherein the beach sling has a main sling member 101 made of terry cloth towel material. The main member is of rectangular shape having a vertical dimension greater than a horizontal dimension. The vertical dimension is preferably 48 in. long and the horizontal dimension is preferably 27 in. wide. The best mode consists of using the main sling member 101 as a beach towel, as they are widely available. The main sling member creates a cavity fold 150 between an upper and lower edge to hold a surfboard. Other recreational boards such as boogie boards, and sailboards can also be held and transported in the sling.

[0052] A top edge 310 of FIG. 6 main sling member 101 parallel to the horizontal dimension opposes a bottom edge 320 of the main sling member, also parallel to the horizontal dimension. Preferably, respective strips 311 of polypropylene fabric reinforce the top 310 and bottom edge 320. A strip of polypropylene fabric 311 bein...

Abstract

A combination beach device has a main section formed as a panel of flexible cloth material having a vertical length longer than a horizontal width forming four corners. The main sling member can be unfurled and used as a beach towel. The main sling member has four attachment points, one near each of four corners of the main section, and each four attachment points are formed of rings. A detachable fabric strap has a pair of clips, each attachable to each attachment point. A second panel is coplanar to the main section, and forms a storage area between the second panel and main section. The storage area forms a closeable pocket on the main section. The main section can be inverted, folded and stowed within the storage area along with other articles.

Description

[0001] This is a continuation in part, of application Ser. No. 10 / 246,935, filed Sep. 19, 2002.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] A.
