Description
TITLE OF THE INVENTION
WINE BOTTLE WALLET
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0001] When carrying a wine bottle in public, such as into a restaurant, many people often wish not to transport the bottle in a paper or plastic bag. Carrying alcoholic beverages this way is often considered to be un-refined. As such, canvas carrying cases, or other carriers made of other materials have become popular. However, after the bottle has been removed, one then has to keep track of and carry the empty wine bag around with them for the remainder of the evening, much to the annoyance of the user.
This also to tends to create a situation where wine carriers are misplaced or lost. A
need therefore exists for a portable wine bottle carrier that is aesthetically pleasing, and is also easily held and carried after use. Such a carrier should be adapted to carry one or two standard size wine bottles.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
100021 The present invention provides an aesthetically pleasing portable wine bottle carrier that folds into something with the general size, shape, and appearance of a wallet.
[00031 Briefly, the portable wine bottle carrier comprises a tote bag having a semi-rigid bottom and non-rigid front, rear, and side sections, and an open top, along with creases in the material (preferably along the front/rear sections and horizontal to the long axis - the long axis being vertical from the top to bottom) to facilitate easy folding into what has an outward appearance of a wallet. The creases are preferably perpendicular to the length of the bag to facilitate the folding of the bag into a wallet sized position. The invention preferably also comprises a means to secure the device into the wallet configuration.
These means may take a variety of forms, such as hook and loop fasteners (hereinafter referred to as "Velcro", a registered trademark of Textol Systems, Inc.), snaps, buttons, etc. located at two locations on the device such that when folded, the securing means are conveniently located. For example, after folding the bag along the creases, the 'wallet' configuration would then be prevented from unfolding by securing abutting sections of the wallet via Velcro or snaps located on each end.
100041 The device will include one or two vertical compartments suitable for receipt of one or two wine bottles. If the device is configured to accommodate two bottles, a partition located in the interior compartment of the carrier that separates the two bottles and keeps them from directly colliding is suggested. While it is conceivable that a wine carrier could be sized to accommodate more than two wine bottles, such a device would ui be difficult to then fold into a wallet size configuration.
[00051 The bottom of the bag preferably is generally rectangular, and is preferably the approximate height and length of the device in the folded, 'wallet' configuration. In a preferred construction, the bag has seams defining the union of the bottom and at least two opposed sides thereof. In the two bottle configuration, the partition is preferably secured to the bag along at least one of the side seams and additionally at the middle of the bottom of the bag. The insert preferably includes creases for convenient folding and storage purposes. The bag is preferably formed from a single piece of fabric material such as cotton or canvas, such piece having a medial portion forming the bottom of the bag and end portions extending upwardly from the medial portion to form the sides of the bag, such end portions having vertical juxtaposed edges stitched together.
100061 In addition, a handle is secured to the bag for use during bottle transport. In one configuration, a strap is attached to two front and rear sections near the top (or open section) to produce a handle. Alternatively, handles are secured to opposing sections of the bag at the respective tops thereof whereby the bag is ported in a suspended state.
[0007] A rear pocket, located on the exterior of a rear section, can be included to carry related items, such as a corkscrew, etc. This may also be a convenient location for the =
securing means, such as Velcro or snaps, with the securing means located at the top of the rear pocket, as well as the bottom. Another embodiment comprises a flap located at the bottom of the rear section pocket that facilitates a portion of the securing means, [0008] To the accomplishment of the foregoing and related ends the invention, then, comprises the features hereinafter fully described and particularly pointed out in the claims, the following description and the drawings setting forth in detail certain illustrative embodiments of the invention, these being indicative, however, of but a few of the various ways in which the principles of the invention may be employed.
100091 In one aspect, the invention is a portable bottle carrier, comprising a vertical axis and a horizontal axis, a front side, a rear side, a semi-ridged bottom section, an open top, and two lateral sections, each lateral section attaching to the front side, the rear side, and the bottom section. The front side, rear side, bottom section, lateral sections, and open top define a vertical interior cavity suitable for receipt of at least one wine bottle. A
plurality of creases are provided that are located in the front of the carrier, are parallel to the horizontal axis, define a plurality of panels and allow the carrier to be put into a folded position along the crease lines. Means are provided to secure the carrier in the folded position.
[00101 The foregoing was intended as a summary only and of only some of the aspects of the invention. It was not intended to define the limits or requirements of the invention.
Other aspects of the invention will be appreciated by reference to the detailed description of the preferred embodiments and this specification as a whole.
