ELEMENT CARRIER AND METHOD
~'IEhD OF IN~NTION
The present invention is related to an element carrier, such as a sleeping bag carrier, More specifically, the present invention is related to a sleeping bag carrier that has an elongate portion which extends about the sleeping bag when it is in a rolled up state, and a handle attached to the elongate portion tot caring the elongate portion secured about the sleeping bag.
HACKGROUNf~ OE THE T~jfyENTZON
A rolled up sleeping bag, for that matter, any xolled up element, is generally not a convenient article to carry. After it is rolled up, usually ropes are required to maintain it in the rolled up state. In addition, the rolled up sleeping bag is usually cumbersome and not necessarily easily carried. The present invention allows any sleeping bag to be maintained in a rolled, ready to carry, state: and that allows the sleeping bag to be easily carried when it is moved.
SUM RY S7F THE INy~NTION
The present invention pertains to an element carrier, ZO such as a sleeping bag carrier. The carrier comprises an elongate portion having a length sufficient to extend about the sleeping bag when it is in a rolled up state. The elongate portion having a first end with a first portion of a locking mechanism, and a second end with a second portion of the locking mechanism which mates with 2S the first Portion to secure the first end and the second end together about the sleeping bag. The carrier comprises a handle attached to the elongate portion for carrying the elongate portion secured about the sleeping bag.
The present invention pertains to a method for carrying an element, such as a sleeping bag. The method comprises the steps of placing an elongate portion about the sleeping bag. There is the step of locking a first end of the elongate portion with a second end of the elongate portion to secure the elongate portion about the sleeping bag. There is the step of lifting the sleeping 1.0 bag with a handle attached to the elongate portion.
BR_~~F ~SCRIPTIO;~~V OF THE DRAWINGS
In the accompanying drawings, the preferred embodiment of the invention and preferred methods of practicing the invention are illustrated in which:
Figure Z is a perspective view of the exposed side o~ a carrier of the present invention.
Figure 2 is a perspective view of the under side of the carrier.
Figure 3 is a perspective view of the carrier with a ~0 rolled up object.
Referring now to the drawings wherein like reference numerals refer to similar or identical parts throughout the several views, and more specifically to figures 1-3 thereof, there is shown an element 12 carrier 10, such as a sleeping bag 14 carrier 10.
The carrier 10 comprises an elongate portion 16 having a length sufficient to extend about the sleeping bag 14 when it is in a rolled up state. The elongate portion 16 having a first end 18 with a first portion 20 of a looking mechanism 22, and a second end l0 24 with a second portion 26 of the locking mechanism 22 which mates with the first portion 20 to secure the first end 18 and the second end 24 together about the sleeping bag I4. The carrier 10 comprises a handle 28 attached to the elongate portion 16 for carrying the elongate portion 16 secured about the sleeping bag 14.
Preferably, the first portion 20 includes hooks and the second portion 26 includes loops 32 that engage with the hooks to hold the first.erid 18 and second end 24 together. The carrier 10 preferably has n shoulder strap 34 attached to the elongate portion 16 for carrying the elongate portion l6~secured about the sleeping bag 14. Preferably, the elongate portion 16 has an inner side 36 with an anti-slip material 38. The elongate port~.on 16 preferably has an exposed side 40 with molded PVC 42. Preferably, the elongate poxtion 15 is essentially rectangularly shaped. The carrier 10 preferably includes a pocket 44. Preferably, the carrier 10 includes a speed clip 46 for attaching an object.
The present invention partaina to a mathod for carrying an element 12, such as a ale~ping bag 14. The method comprises the steps of placing an elongate poxtion 16 about the sleeping bag 14.
There is the step of locking a first end 7.8 of the elongate portion 16 with a second end 24 of the elongate portion 16 to secure the elongate portion 16 about the sleeping bag 14. There is the step of lifting the sleeping bag 14 with a handle 28 attached to the elongate portion 16. Preferab7.y, there is the step of unlocking the first end 18 from the second end 24 which releases the elongate portion 16 from the sJ.eeping bag 14.
The element 12 to be carried by the carxier 10 does not have to be made of loose material such as plastic, paper yr cloth, that can be ro bed up. The element Z2 can simply be of a size that is conducive for the carrier 10 to be placed about it.
In the preferred embodiment, the sleeping bag 14 carrier 10 wss designed to ~ddra~a a~ symFlw rsobvem~ o~ kirrc~ ~rrry- aieeping 1S bag 14 in a rolled, ready to carxy, position. The sleeping bag 14 carrier 10 is an elongate piece of material which has an anti-slip material 38 on the inner side 36 and a combination of woven material and molded PVC 42 on the exposed side 40. The sleeping bag 14 carrier 10 wraps around a rol~.ed sleeping bag 14 and secures it in place with Velcro and, or any other securing method such as speed clips 46, hooks 30, buckles, ete. The Velcro loops 32 are on the front overlapping portion and the Velcro hooks are on the underside as such that the Velcro hooks are not interfering with or damaging the sleeping bag 14 material. The sleeping bag 14 carrier ~.p also employs a carrying device on the top exposed side 40 which may include a handle 28, shoulder strap 34, shoulder harnesses) or a specialized buckle made t4 attach to other soft good pieces sv that the sleeping bag 14 carrier 10 may be transported in unison . .. 5 _ With another soft piece. The sleeping bag 14 carrier 10 may employ the use of other features such as: stitched webbing loops 32 for hooking on small travel or camping accessories and, oz zippered pockets 44 for small item storag~. In the event that the Velcro falls, a louse fitting plastic clip connecting the two ends of the elongate portion 16 to keep them from completely detaching can be used. A small elastic expansion piece can be part of the elongate piece to allow the elongate portion 16 to expand to fit slightly larger items. The handle 28 can include shoulder straps 34, speed l0 clips 46, oz any device to allow the sleeping bag 14 to be carried can be used.
