Embodiment Construction

[0019]The numeral 10 refers to the tote bag or wine bottle carrier of this invention which includes opposite sides 12 and 14, opposite ends 16 and 18, bottom 20 and an open upper end 22. Preferably, the bag is constructed of a non-rigid polypropylene material which is waterproof and sufficiently flexible enough to enable the bag to be folded for storage when not in use. A strap 24 is secured to the bag 10, as seen in the drawings, so as to provide a pair of inverted, U-shaped handles 26 and 28 which extend upwardly from the upper ends of sides 12 and 14, respectively. The strap 24 extends around the bottom of the bag 10 to provide a more sturdy strap. As seen, the bag 10 has a generally rectangular cross-section. The bag 10, as shown, is designed to carry six wine bottles, but the same could be modified so as to carry eight, ten or twelve bottles if so desired.

[0020]A longitudinally extending, vertically disposed, non-rigid partition 30 is positioned within the bag 10 and has its en...

Abstract

A wine bottle carrier in the form of a tote bag having a plurality of non-rigid partition members provided in the interior thereof which define six wine bottle compartments to enable wine bottles to be inserted downwardly thereinto. A drawstring is provided at the upper end of the tote bag which may tightened to draw the upper ends of the wine bottles in the bottle compartments together to restrict the movement therebetween during carrying or transport to prevent breakage thereof.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]This invention relates to a wine carrier and more particularly to a tote bag for carrying a number of wine bottles, preferably six bottles.[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]Many different types of bags or sacks have been previously provided for carrying a wine bottle from place to place. When a bottle of wine is purchased at a store or the like, the wine bottle is normally placed in a paper sack. If less than a case of wine is purchased, each of the bottles is usually placed in a paper or plastic sack with the sacks being placed in a larger bag or sack. Frequently, the bottles are broken since they may strike one another during carrying or while being transported in a vehicle. U.S. Pat. No. 4,428,484 discloses a carrier in the form of a tote bag which can accommodate two wine bottles. Although the carrier of U.S. Pat. No. 4,428,484 provides a convenient means for carrying two bottles of wine, the necks of the...
