Description
- The invention relates generally to a portable container. More specifically, a portable container that has a lock for securing the contents of the portable container when the container is not in use.
- People today carry a number of items in various portable containers such as lunch bags, purses, hand bags and backpacks. These portable containers are normally left, when not in use, in public areas with a number of similar portable containers. Recently, there has been a growing trend where, unfortunately, the owners of theses containers often come back only to find a number of items missing from these types of containers. Therefore, there is a need for a portable container having a locking mechanism.
- U.S. Pat. No. 5,265,960 is generally representative of the prior art. This example of the prior art has a lunch bag with a pair of handles. The lunch bag has a front wall and back wall separated by two side walls and has a bottom portion attached to each thereby forming a bag. The bag is made of a foam that is encapsulated by vinyl material, thereby creating an insulated bag that is also may be collapsed. The lunch bag also has a first handle that extends from the front wall and a second handle extending from the back wall. The first and second handles may be secured to one another with a hook and loop material attached to each. The bag does not provide for a locking mechanism for use with the lunch bag.
- A further example of the prior art is U.S. Pat. No. 4,211,091 for an insulated lunch bag. The insulated lunch bag is made of a flexible material adapted for transportation and storage. The bag also has a front wall, rear wall and a pair of side walls, all attached to a bottom wall thereby forming a bag. The bag is insulated and provides means for opening and closing the bag with a pliable adhesive tape fastener. Furthermore, the overall length of the bag is reducible to about one third when the empty bag is folded on itself. As before, the prior art does not provide for a locking mechanism for use with the bag. In addition, the prior art does not provide for a locking mechanism that can be quickly and efficiently secured to the lunch bag.
- A final example of the prior art is U.S. Pat. No. 5,316,388 which discloses a foldable bag and pouch. The reusable bag may be closed such that food stuffs can be transferred from one location to another. Once the bag is emptied it can be quickly and easily folded into a small, integrally formed pouch for compact storage until the time of reuse. The device can be folded inwardly of itself into a pouch provided on the bottom of the bag making the bag compact enough to be carried in a pants pocket or in a lady's handbag. As can be seen, again the device does not disclose a portable container that is lockable or may be quickly and efficiently secured.
- Therefore, what is needed is a portable container having a locking mechanism. Furthermore, what is needed is a portable container that is both insulated and easy to transport. What is further needed is a portable container that provides quick and efficient entry into the portable container, yet providing an efficient means for locking the portable container as well.
- It is an object of the invention to provide a locking mechanism for use with a portable container, wherein the contents of the portable container are secured when the portable container is not in use. It is a further object of the invention to provide a portable container that is secure, but has a lock that is easily removable to access the contents of the portable container. It is a further object of the present invention to provide a portable container that can be quickly locked for efficient transport.
- The present invention provides a portable container, the portable container having a front wall, back wall, two side walls and a bottom portion defining an interior chamber having an open top. The front and back walls are connected to the two side walls, and the bottom portion is connected to a bottom edge of the front wall, back wall and two side walls, thereby forming the interior chamber. The portable container has a foldable flap having a first and second end, the first end attached to the back wall. The second end of the foldable flap extends over the open top and is detachably secured to the front wall. The second end of the foldable flap and front wall each have an aperture therethrough, such that a strip of material attached to an upper edge of each side wall extends through each aperture and forms a loop outside the second end of the foldable flap. A locking mechanism is provided such that the loop is secured to an outer portion of the foldable flap therein securely locking the second end of the foldable flap to the front wall.
