Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] Generally, the present invention relates to the structure of carrying bags, such as backpacks, book bags, tote bags, etc. More specifically, the present invention relates to the structure of carrying bags having removable decorative features applied to the carrying bags or integrated into the structure of the carrying bags. Background Art
[0002] In the prior art, there are many different types of carrying bags in the form of school bags, backpacks, handbags, waist bags, etc. Such bags are usually designed to be purely functional. However, such bags are typically stylized and decorated so as to be both fashionable and functional. Some carrying bags are stylized and decorated with specific themes. That is, the carrying bag is designed to have a theme of a character, a show, a movie, or a company. This is especially common when the carrying bag is designed for the children's or youth market. The carrying bag can be themed by applying graphics to the outside of the bag. However, a more interesting way to add a theme to the carrying bag is to integrate the character or theme features into the physical structure of the bag. That is, make the carrying bag look like a character or theme item. Alternatively, the character or theme item can be attached to a primary position on the outside of the bag.
[0003] In Myers' U.S. Patent No. 1,638,594, a bag is integrated into the structure of a plush character. Thus, the carrying bag looks like a plush toy and does not look like a carrying bag. In Strong's U.S. Patent No. 8,926,392, the features of the character (such as the head and arms) are attached to the carrying bag. The problem with such themed carrying bags is that the characters and other themed features are fixed in prominent locations. The characters and themed features cannot be moved. Therefore, the prominence of the characters and / or themed features cannot be changed. In this way, a themed bag that is fashionable for a wide age span may only attract the youngest consumers and may be considered childish by slightly older consumers.
[0004] The present invention is a themed carrying bag in which the prominence of characters and / or themed features can be selectively controlled. In this way, the themed characters can be made highly visible, slightly visible, or hidden. In this way, the themed nature of the carrying bag can be selectively adjusted according to the user's situation and fashion sense. This enables the themed carrying bag to attract a larger consumer base. In addition, since the characters and / or themed features can be adjusted to the appropriate position, the themed carrying bag now has play value. This makes the themed carrying bag more attractive to young consumers and parents of young consumers. The present invention is described and claimed below. Summary of the invention
[0005] The present invention is a carrying bag having an outer surface. A cut-out panel having a front surface and a back surface is provided. The cut-out panel can be configured with a character having a theme shared with the graphics used on the outer surface of the carrying bag.
[0006] The mounting system is used to attach the cut-out trim to the carrying bag or to a pouch-like extension connected to the carrying bag. The mounting system enables the cut-out trim to move through a range of motion relative to the carrying bag while remaining attached to the carrying bag. At least some of the cut-out trim covers at least some of the exterior of the carrying bag at some positions within its range of motion. In this way, at least some of the cut-out trim is visible on the exterior of the carrying bag, and the position of the cut-out trim can be selectively changed by the user.

[0016] Although the components of the present invention can be implemented in many ways, only several exemplary embodiments are shown. Exemplary embodiments are shown for the purpose of explanation and illustration. Exemplary embodiments are selected to set forth some of the best modes contemplated by the present invention. However, the embodiments shown are merely exemplary and should not be considered as limiting when interpreting the scope of protection of the claims.
[0017] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 , a carrying bag assembly 10 is illustrated. In this embodiment, the carrying bag assembly 10 is shown as a backpack 11. However, the backpack 11 should only be considered as an example of any carrying bag, such as a shoulder bag, a handbag, a waist bag, etc. The carrying bag assembly 10 has an outer surface 12 that can contain graphics 25, decorations 16, and / or other features in a particular theme. As will be explained, the carrying bag assembly 10 also includes one or more removable cut-out panels 14 that are shaped and decorated as characters or themed items. The characters and / or themed items are associated with the selected overall theme of the carrying bag assembly 10.
[0018] Because the carrying bag assembly 10 shown is shaped as a backpack 11. The carrying bag assembly 10 has a main bag 20 that defines a large interior compartment. The main bag 20 has a front surface 22, a rear surface 24, and a perimeter surface 26 that joins the front surface 22 to the rear surface 24. The perimeter surface 26 includes a top section 28. The top section 28 has an access opening 30 with a zipper closure 31 for selectively accessing the large interior compartment.
[0019] The shoulder straps 34 are attached to the rear surface 24 of the main bag 20. In this way, when the carrying bag assembly 10 is worn using the shoulder straps 34, the rear surface 24 of the main bag 20 will be against the back of the wearer. The front surface 22 is exposed and faces away from the wearer. Therefore, the graphics 25 and decorations 16 on the front surface 22 are highly visible.
[0020] At least one cut-out plaque 14 is provided. Each cut-out plaque 14 has a front surface 36 and a rear surface 38. The cut-out plaque 14 is shaped as a character or an object and shares the same theme as the front surface 26 of the backpack 11. In the example shown, two cut-out plaques 14 are used. The cut-out plaques 14 show characters from an animated film. The front surface 22 of the backpack 11 is decorated with a graphic 25 that is a scene from the film. The cut-out character 14 is mounted to the front surface 22 of the backpack 11 in such a way that the cut-out character 14 can move vertically and horizontally within a given range of movement.
[0021] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 1 And refer to Figure 3, it can be seen that the mounting system 40 is used to mount each cut-out trim 14 to the front surface 22 of the main bag 20. The mounting system 40 utilizes two interlaced straps 42, 44. The first strap 42 is configured to be attached to the front surface 22 of the backpack 11. The first strap 42 is long and is visible above and / or below the cut-out trim 14. Therefore, the first strap 42 contains a secondary graphic 27 that matches or complements the graphic 25 on the front surface 22 of the backpack 11. In this way, the first strap 42 is camouflaged on the top of the front surface 22 of the backpack 11. In this way, the presence of the first strap 42 is difficult to visually detect.
[0022] The first strap 42 has a first end 46 and an opposite second end 48. A first section 50 of the first strap 42 proximate the first end 46 is sewn to the front surface 22 of the backpack 11. Likewise, a second section 52 of the first strap 42 proximate the second end 48 is sewn to the front surface 22 of the backpack 11. The first strap 42 spans an open area between the first section 50 and the second section 52, where the first strap 42 is separated from the front surface 22 of the backpack 11. This forms a first loop 54 of length L1 between the first strap 42 and the front surface 22 of the backpack 11.
[0023] The second strap 44 is attached to the back surface 38 of the cut trim 14. The second strap 44 has a first end 56 and an opposing second end 58. A first section 60 of the second strap 44 proximate the first end 56 is sewn to the back surface 38 of the cut trim 14. Likewise, a second section 62 of the second strap 44 proximate the second end 58 is sewn to the back surface 38 of the cut trim 14. The second strap 44 spans the open area between the first section 60 and the second section 62, in which the second strap 44 is separated from the back surface 38 of the cut trim 14. This forms a second loop 64 of length L2 between the second strap 44 and the back surface 38 of the cut trim 14.
[0024] The first loop 54 and the second loop 64 are interconnected. In addition, the first belt 42 forming the first loop 54 is generally oriented to be perpendicular to the second belt 44 forming the second loop 64. Therefore, the first loop 54 and the second loop 64 are connected together like links in a chain, wherein each of the first loop 54 and the second loop 64 is independently free to move. The first loop 54 can move up and down, left and right within the limits of the second loop 64. The second loop 64 can move up and down, left and right within the limits of the first loop 54. The range of movement is limited only by the length L1 of the first loop 54, the length L2 of the second loop 64, the width of the first loop 54, and the width of the second loop 64. Since the first loop 54 is anchored to the cut-out trim 14 and the second loop 64 is anchored to the backpack 11, the cut-out trim 14 can be selectively moved relative to the backpack 11 while maintaining connection with the backpack 11. As a result, the position of each cut-out trim 14 can be changed. Therefore, the user can position each cut-out trim 14 in any desired position within its range of movement. Once the cut-out panels 14 are manipulated into the desired position, friction between the interconnected rings 54 , 64 holds each cut-out panel 14 in place.
[0025] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 , shows an alternative embodiment of a carrying bag assembly 70. The carrying bag assembly 70 has a main bag 72. The main bag 72 has a front surface 74, a rear surface 76, and a perimeter surface 78 that joins the front surface 74 to the rear surface 76. A shoulder strap 79 is attached to the rear surface 76 of the main bag 72. In this way, when the carrying bag assembly 70 is worn using the shoulder strap 79, the rear surface 76 of the main bag 72 will rest against the back of the wearer.
[0026] A pocket-like expansion 80 is disposed on the front surface 74 of the primary bag 72. The pocket-like expansion 80 surrounds a protected area 82 on the front surface 74. The pocket-like expansion 80 is highly visible on the front surface 74 of the primary bag 72 and is themed in a manner complementary to the primary bag 72. The pocket-like expansion 80 has an open top 84 and a top edge 86 that can be selectively shaped to match a selected theme.
[0027] A cut-out trim 88 is provided. The cut-out trim 88 has a front surface 90 and a rear surface 92. The cut-out trim 88 is shaped as a character or an object. In the example shown, the cut-out trim 88 is shaped as a bear. In addition, at least the front surface 90 of the cut-out trim 88 is decorated as a character. The rear surface 92 of the cut-out trim 88 is attached to the inner surface of the pocket-like expansion portion 80 within the protective area 82. As will be explained, the cut-out trim 88 is attached to the inner surface of the pocket-like expansion portion 80 using a sliding connection mounting system that enables the cut-out trim 88 to slide up and down and left and right within the pocket-like expansion portion 80 while remaining attached to the main bag 72.
[0028] Combination Figure 5 And refer to Figure 6 , it can be seen that a sliding connection mounting system 94 is provided, which has a mounting extension 96 positioned at the bottom of the cut-out trim 88. The mounting extension 96 has two opposing side arms 98. Each side arm 98 terminates with a T-shaped head 99. Two loops 100 are sewn to the front surface 74 of the main package 72 within the protective area 82. The opposite ends 102, 104 of each loop 100 are sewn to the main package 72. Each loop 100 is open and not fixed between the opposite ends 102, 104. This forms an open section 106 of length L3 below each loop 100. The loops 100 are parallel and are sufficiently spaced apart to receive the side arms 98 of the T-shaped base 96. The side arms 98 of the mounting extension 96 are set into the open section 106 of the loop 100. This enables the cut-out trim 88 to move up and down within a range equal to the length L3 of the open section 106. The presence of the side arms 98 in the open section 106 of the annulus 54 also enables the cut-out trim piece 88 to move side to side across the long arc A1 .
[0029] There is significant friction between the side arms 98, the front surface 74 of the main bag 72, and the loop 100. This friction is sufficient to hold the cut-out trim 88 in place. Thus, the cut-out trim 88 can be manually manipulated up and down and left and right. If the cut-out trim 88 is released at any position within its adjustable range, the cut-out trim 88 remains in that position. Thus, one can choose to pull the cut-out trim 88 out into a very noticeable position, or push the cut-out trim 88 into the pocket extension 80, where it is less noticeable.
[0030] Combination Figure 5 and Figure 6 And refer to Figure 4 As can be seen, the cut-out trim 88 itself is thin and does not take up much space within the pocket-like extension 80. The presence of the cut-out trim 88 in the pocket-like extension 80 forms a secondary pocket 110 between the front surface 74 of the main bag 72 and the rear surface 92 of the cut-out trim 88. Items (such as a smart phone or glasses) can be placed in the secondary pocket 110 ( Figure 4 ). When the cut-out trim 88 is pulled up, any object in the secondary pocket 110 is also pulled up. This can make it easier to access items such as a phone.
[0031] People using the carrying bag assembly 70 may not always want the cut-out trim 88 to be visible. The side arms 98 on the cut-out trim 88 are not permanently attached to the loop 100. The side arms 98 can be manipulated out from behind the loop 100. Once detached from the loop 100, the cut-out trim 88 is separate and distinct from the remainder of the carrying bag assembly 70. The cut-out trim 88 is small enough to be placed completely within the main bag 72, where the cut-out trim 88 can be carried without being visible.
[0032] Combination Figure 8 And refer to Figure 7 , an alternative carrying bag assembly 120 is shown. In this embodiment, there is a primary bag 122 and a secondary bag 124. A pocket expansion 126 is provided on a front surface 128 of the secondary bag 124. The pocket expansion 126 is highly visible and themed in a manner complementary to the primary bag 122 and the secondary bag 124. The pocket expansion 126 has an open top 130 that may or may not include a zipper closure.
[0033] A cut-out trim 134 is provided. The cut-out trim 134 has a front surface 136 and a rear surface 138. The cut-out trim 134 is shaped as a character. In addition, at least some of the front surface 136 of the cut-out trim 134 is decorated as a character. The rear surface 138 of the cut-out trim 134 is attached to the sub-bag 124 inside the pocket-shaped expansion 126. The cut-out trim 134 is attached to the sub-bag 124 by a slot mounting system 140. The slot mounting system 140 enables at least a portion of the cut-out trim 134 to slide up and out of the pocket-shaped expansion 126 or slide down into the pocket-shaped expansion 126.
[0034] In the illustrated embodiment, the slot mounting system 140 includes a slotted strip 142 connected to the rear surface 138 of the cut trim 134. The slotted strip 142 defines the slot 144. A mechanical connector 146 passes through the slot 144 and engages the secondary bag 124. The mechanical connector 146 has an enlarged head 148, which is wider than the slot 144. When the cut trim 134 is grasped and manipulated, the slot 144 moves relative to the mechanical connector 146. This provides a range of movement for the cut trim 134. Therefore, the cut trim 134 can be moved up and down and sideways through a range of movement. In addition, through appropriate manipulation, the slot 144 can be moved around the mechanical connector 146 in the manner of unbuttoning. This will separate the cut trim 134 from the bag-like expansion portion 126. The cut trim 134 can then be stored for subsequent use.
[0035] The same slot mounting system 140 can also be used to mount the cut out trim 150 within the sub-bag 124. The slot mounting system 140 provides a range of motion for the cut out trim 150. The range of motion can be large enough that the entire cut out trim 150 can be retracted into the sub-bag 124 if people do not want to see the cut out trim 150.
[0036] although Figure 8 A single slotted strip 142 and slot 144 is illustrated, but more than one slotted strip and slot may be used to connect with each of the one or more cut-out trim panels 134 in the carrying bag assembly 120 .
[0037] It should be understood that the illustrated and described embodiments of the present invention are merely exemplary, and those skilled in the art may make many variations to these embodiments. Features from different embodiments may be mixed and matched in an unillustrated manner. All of these embodiments are intended to be included within the scope of the present invention as defined by the claims.
