Uinbrelta Bags
Field of the Invention
The invention relates to umbrella bags.
Review of the Prior Art known to the Applicant(s)
The closest art known to the applicant is a flexible bag constructed from a thin film of plastics material typically polythene. The bags are dispensed by hand at a shop's entrance.
Each bag is rectangular in shape, which comprises substantially shorter upper and lower sides than vertical sides. A shopper inserts his/her umbrella into the bag through an opening prior to entry into a shop so that the umbrella bag contains the water and moisture which would otherwise drip or run off the umbrella's outer surface onto the shop floor.
The invention provides a number of improvements to this basic prior art design.
Summary of the Invention
In a first broad independent aspect, the invention provides an umbrella bag comprising an elongate body sized and configured to receive an umbrella, said body being of a material which is impermeable to water; and incorporating an opening at a first extremity which is suitable for allowing the insertion and removal of an umbrella; wherein said bag incorporates a closure mechanism for closing said opening. This is particularly advantageous because it allows an improved amount of water to be contained in the bag even when for example the umbrella and bag would be inadvertently tilted upside down, for example, after falling in a user's trolley.
In a second broad independent aspect, the invention provides an umbrella bag comprising an elongate body sized and configured to receive an umbrella, said body being of a materiaL which is impermeable to water; and incorporating an opening at a first extremity which is suitable for allowing the insertion and removal of an umbreLla; wherein said bag incorporates a first region at said first extremity and a second region at a second extremity; the second region having a greater resistance to perforation than the first region. This configuration is particularly advantageous because it allows the second region which is often the region where water would accumulate to remain impermeable to water at Least during the use of the umbrella bag. The perforation of the second extremity by the sharp end of an umbrella is avoided.
In a third broad independent aspect, the invention provides an umbrella bag comprising an elongate body sized and configured to receive an umbrella, said body being of a material which is impermeable to water, and incorporating an opening at a first extremity which is suitable for allowing the insertion and removal of an umbrella; wherein said bag incorporates a first region at said first extremity with a handle. This configuration is particularly advantageous because it allows the umbrella bag to be attached to the hook of a trolley. It also allows the transportation of the umbrella bag in order to minimise any risk of spillage through the opening. In addition, it allows the bag to be attached to a hanger in a cloakroom.
In a fourth broad independent aspect, the invention provides an umbrella bag comprising an elongate body sized and configured to receive an umbrella, said body being of a materiaL which is impermeable to water and incorporating an opening at a first extremity which is suitable for allowing the insertion and removal of an umbrella; wherein said bag incorporates a region of said second extremity with a pre-defined line for separating a portion of said bag from the rest of said bag in order to create an opening at said second extremity. This configuration is particularly advantageous because it allows the umbrella bag to be drained through the second extremity and to be disposed as a relatively dry item thereafter. It also encourages the bag to be used as a one shot item.
In a fifth broad independent aspect, the invention provides an umbrella bag comprising an elongate body sized and configured to receive an umbrella, said body being of a material which is impermeable to water; and incorporating an opening at a first extremity which is suitable for allowing the insertion and removal of an umbrella; wherein said bag incorporates a strap of sufficient length to be placed across a user's back or shoulder. This is particularly advantageous as it allows the bag to be transported without having to employ the user's hands so that these may be used to transport shopping items.
In a sixth broad independent aspect, the invention provides an umbrella bag comprising an elongate body sized and configured to receive an umbrella, said body being of a material which is impermeable to water; and incorporating an opening at a first extremity which is suitable for allowing the insertion and removal of an umbrella; wherein said bag incorporates a region with a taper in the longitudinal direction. This configuration is particularly advantageous in order to achieve a tight fit for umbrellas which themselves incorporate a taper when they are in a closed mode of use. It also allows the bag to be securely attached to the umbrella in order to minimise any risk of the umbrella slipping out of the bag during transportation.
In a seventh broad independent aspect, the invention provides an umbrella bag comprising an elongate body sized and configured to receive an umbrella, said body being of a material which is impermeable to water; and incorporating an opening at a first extremity which is suitable for allowing the insertion and removal of an umbrella; wherein said bag incorporates a releasabLe base portion. This configuration is particularly advantageous because it allows the bag to be drained in a controlled way.
In an eighth broad independent aspect, the invention provides an umbrella bag comprising an elongate body sized and configured to receive an umbrella, said body being of a material which is impermeabLe to water and incorporating an opening at a first extremity which is suitable for allowing the insertion and removal of an umbrella; wherein said bag incorporates an extendable body. This is particularly advantageous because it will allow a single bag to fit umbrellas of a variety of lengths.
In a ninth broad independent aspect, the invention provides an umbrella bag comprising an elongate body sized and configured to receive an umbrella, said body being of a material which is impermeable to water and incorporating an opening at a first extremity which is suitabLe for allowing the insertion and removal of an umbrella; wherein said bag incorporates a body of material which is relatively rigid when compared to disposable flexible shopping bags. This is particularly advantageous because it allows the umbreLla bag to be of greater resistance to perforation. It also allows the insertion of umbrellas into the bags to be carried out in a more straightforward manner than would be the case with io an essentially flexible shopping bag.
In a tenth broad independent aspect, the invention provides an umbrella bag comprising an elongate body sized and configured to receive an umbrella, said body being of a material which is impermeable to water; and incorporating an opening at a first extremity which is suitable for allowing the insertion and removal of an umbrella; wherein said bag incorporates a body with one or more side openings. This configuration is particularly advantageous because it allows the umbrellas to enter without or with only minimal resistance as any air trapped in the bag between the umbrella and the bag will be allowed to escape as the umbreLla is drawn fully into the umbrella bag. It also prevents the bag from bursting at its edges.
In an eleventh broad independent aspect, the invention provides an umbrella bag comprising an elongate body sized and configured to receive an umbrella, said body being of a material which is impermeable to water; and incorporating an opening at a first extremity which is suitable for aLlowing the insertion and removal of an umbrella; wherein said bag incorporates a further body adjacent to said first body with a compartment which is of greater size than the umbrella receiving body and is sized and configured to receive shopping items. This configuration is particularly advantageous because it allows the umbreLla bag to be carried along side the conventional shopping bag.
In a twelfth broad independent aspect, the invention provides an umbrella bag comprising an elongate body sized and configured to receive an umbrella, said body being of a material which is impermeable to water and incorporating an opening at a first extremity which is suitable for allowing the insertion and removal of an umbrella; wherein said bag incorporates attachment means for attaching said bag to a transportation device such as a trolley, a seat or the Likes. This configuration is particularly advantageous because it allows the umbrella bag to be secured with the opening for the insertion and removal of the umbrella in an upper portion, thus avoiding or minimising the risk of spillage.

Detaited Description of the Figures
Figure 1(a) shows an umbrella bag 1 with the size and configuration suitable for receiving an umbrella through its top opening 2. The body 3 of the umbrella bag is far longer than it is wide in order to achieve a tight fit for the umbrella inserted into the bag. The bag may be of a flexible shopping bag Like material or may be of greater rigidity so as to resist manual bending. A dashed line 4 is depicted across the Lower region 5 of the lower extremity 6. At the dispensing point, the tower region 5 is sealed and the walLs of the umbrella bag are of an impermeable material. Dashed line 4 may simply be a line along which user may cut the umbrella bag open in order to drain its liquid contents prior to disposal of the bag. Alternatively, the dashed line may be a line which incorporates perforations allowing a user to readily open the lower region by tearing along the line. The upper extremity 7 of the bag incorporates a handle 8 which projects upwardly past the opening 2. The handle may be formed integrally with the rest of the bag or alternatively the handle may be made of a more robust material such as rope which is secured to the rest of the bag by conventional attachment means such as a knot.
Figure 1(b) shows an umbrella bag 9 with a number of fold lines such as fold lines 10, 11, 12 and 13. These fold lines allow the umbrella bag to open laterally as an accordion. This is particularly advantageous because it allows the bag to be flexible laterally to accommodate umbrellas of differing widths.
Figure 1(c) shows an umbrella 14 which is formed in flexible plastics material with a loop for attaching the bags onto the back of a trolley. The bag aLso incorporates a dashed indicating line 16 along which a user may cut a corner of the bag to atlow its draining.
Figure 1(d) shows an umbrella bag 17 with a dashed indicating line 18 and an oblong cut-out 19 located at its upper extremity and which extends diagonaLly between edges 20 and 21.
Figure 1(e) shows an umbrella bag 22 with an oblong aperture 23 which extends across an upper extremity of the bag between lateral edges 24 and 25.
Figure 1(f) shows an umbrella bag 26 with a handle 27 forming an arch between opposite lateral edges 28 and 29.
Figure 2(a) shows an umbrella bag 30 which tapers inwards from its upper extremity 31 to its tower extremity 32. As in the previous bags, umbrella bag 30 incorporates an upper opening between two sheets of material. Edges 33, 34 and 35 are fully closed in order to retain water from the umbrella in the bag.
Figure 2(b) shows an umbrella bag 36 with parallel lateral edges 37 and 38. The lower portion 39 of the bag incorporates a reinforced region which is particularly resistant to umbrella end perforations. This may be achieved by the walls at the lower portion being doubled instead of single walls as in the upper portion 40. Alternatively the portion 39 may be of rigid plastic as opposed to region 38 which may be of flexible ordinary shopping bag materiaL In a further embodiment, the lower portion 39 may incorporate an umbrella end shaped receiving portion. It may for example be a funnel shaped member of relatively rigid plastics material into which the pointed end of, for example, a golf umbrella may be fitted.
Figure 2(c) shows an umbrella bag 41 with a pull cord 42 located at the upper extremity of the bag where an opening is provided which may be shut by pulling on the pull cord 42.
Figures 3 show a variety of umbrella bag lengths. The umbrella bag of figure 3(a) corresponds to a golf umbrella. The umbrella bag of figure 3(b) corresponds to a gents' umbrella. The umbrella bag of figure 3(c) corresponds to a ladies' umbreLla. The umbrella bag of figure 3(d) corresponds to a mini or foldable umbrella.
Figures 3(e) to 3(g) show an extendable umbrella bag at three stages. In figure 3E, the umbrella bag 43 incorporates an upper aperture 44 revealing a first cavity 45 into which a ladies umbrella may be placed. The side walls are folded a number of times to allow the umbrella bag to be extended by pulling the bag lengthwise. By unfolding the bag once, the cavity 45 displaces downwards and reveals cavity 46. Cavities 45 and 46 are adjacent in order to allow a gents' umbrella to be placed into the bag. Finally, if the extendable bag is required for covering a golf umbrella, a further pull on the bag would unfold sections 47 which would reveal an umbrella bag with a cavity 48 of sufficient length to accommodate a golf umbrella.
Figure 3(h) shows a telescopic umbrella bag 115, which incorporates interconnected portions 117 to 121 that contract and extract within each other to adjust the umbrella bag's 115 overalL length. The direction of the umbrella bag's contract and extraction is indicated by arrow 116.
Figure 4 shows a rolL 49 for providing a series of umbrella bags such as bags 50 and 51 which are separabte through a tear Line 52. The umbrella bags may thus be produced through an extrusion process of continuous film which is blown.
Alternatively, the umbrella bags may be provided as separated portions in a distribution box.
Figure 5 shows an umbrella bag 53 with an upper opening 54 for the insertion and/or removal of an umbrella. The umbrella bag is frusto-conical in shape and of rigid plastics material accommodating at its lower extremity releasable attachment means 55 allowing a cup 56 to be secured during use and removed thereafter for draining the bag. The releasable attachment means may incorporate a closure mechanism such as matching threads located between the cup and the conical bag. Alternatively, the cup may be secured by a push fit. In a further embodiment, a filamentary touch to close pad may be provided on both the frusto-conical bag portion and on the cup.
Figure 6 shows a frusto-conical relatively rigid umbrella bag 57 with a number of clips such as clips 58 and 59. These clips may be sized and configured to attach the umbrella bag to portions of a supermarket trolley. The frusto-conical portion 60 may be formed from an initially flat sheet with releasable attachment means along edges 61 and 62. A hook and eye mechanism may be employed to secure the opposite sides of the flat sheet. The frusto-conical member may be closed onto a cup 63 to be retained by the lower edge 64 of the frusto-conical member.
In an alternative embodiment of the invention, the umbrella bag may incorporate hooks or loops, which are used for attaching the umbrella bag to coat hooks inside a typical cloak room.
In another alternative embodiment of the invention, the umbrella bag may incorporate hooks or loops, which are used for attaching the umbrella bag to the back of a chair, such as an auditorium.
Disposable liners (not shown) may be inserted in to the umbrella bags, which are constructed form either absorbent or non-absorbent material. Therefore, the liner soaks and/or colLects any liquid collected within umbrella bags. The liner is then removed after use for suitable disposal Figure 7(a) shows an umbrella bag as an integral part of a door pocket such as those found in motor vehicles. The umbrella bag 65 may alternatively be a separable component in order to allow the accumulated water to be emptied out through opening 66.
Figure 7b) shows a vehicle door pocket with an umbrella bag 67 located within the pocket 68.
Figure 8(a) shows an umbrella bag 69 which is located in a receiving handle 70 of the back of a door 71. This may be for example provided in the rear passenger door in a taxi.
Figure 8(b) shows an umbrella bag 72 located in a strap 73 located at the rear of a car seat.
Alternatively, the umbrelLa bag 72 incorporates a number of hooks or cLips to attach into the upper potion of the car seat's pocket 74.
Figure 8(c) shows a number of umbrella bags 75 and 76 Located in appropriately sized receptacles in the centre console between the front passenger seats of a motor vehicle.
Figure 8(d) shows two umbrella bags 122 and 123, which are attached to a bulkhead 124 within a typical taxi. The two umbrella bags 122 and 123 are preferably constructed from a rigid material, which supports and protects the inserted umbrella 125 as well as containing any collected liquid.
Figure 9 shows a disposable liner 126, which is inserted into an umbrella bag 127, as indicated by arrow 128. The disposable liner is preferably constructed from an absorbent material, which absorbs any liquid collected within the umbrella bag 127. When the liner 126 is saturated with collected liquid, it is then removed from the umbrella bag 127 for
suitable disposal
Figure 10 shows a frusto-conical umbrella bag 77 with an upper opening 78 and two side apertures 79 and 80 through which a handle may be threaded, typically of rope or cord construction. In addition, the apertures allow air to escape whilst water would be accumulated in the bag's lower extremity.
Figure 11 shows an umbrella bag 81 with a pull cord 82. A second pull cord 83 is provided to allow both the upper and lower portions to be collapsed onto an umbrella located in the bag.
Figure 12 shows an umbrella bag 84 with a drain 85 which may be opened and closed by opening and closing valve 86.
Figure 13 shows alternative embodiments for achieving the drainage of an umbrella bag.
In figure 13(a), a tab 87 projects laterally which may be torn off by a user in order to facilitate drainage. In figure 13(b), the umbrella bag 88 incorporates a funnel shaped lower portion 89 which may be opened and closed by a user. Figure 13(c) shows a lower portion of an umbrella bag 91 with a valve 92 which may be opened by screwing the valve in and out of its seat 93 which incorporates a threaded bore.
Figure 14(a) shows an umbrella bag 94 with straps 95 and 96 which are of sufficient Length to allow a user to carry the bag across his /her shoulder or back.
Figure 14(b) shows an umbrella bag 97 with a flexible front portion 98 and a rigid back panel 99. The rigid back panel 99 projects upwards beyond the opening 100 and incorporates an aperture 101.
Figure 15(a) shows an umbrella bag 102 with two compartments; one for receiving an umbrella which is referenced 103 and a second 104 which is sized and configured for carrying shopping items. In a preferred embodiment, both compartments are formed from a single piece of materiaL Alternatively, the umbrella compartment may be separable from the shopping items' compartment by employing releasable attachment means between the compartments.
Figure 15(b) shows a shopping bag 129 with two compartments; one compartment 130 is for receiving an umbrella 131, while located internally within the other compartment 132, which is configured for carrying shopping items. In a preferred embodiment, both compartments are formed from a single piece of material. Alternatively, the internal umbrella compartment 130 may be separable from the shopping items' compartment 132 when not required by employing releasable means between the compartments.
An additional Liner (not shown) may be inserted in to umbrella compartments 103 or 130.
The disposable liner may be constructed form either absorbent or non-absorbent material.
Therefore, the liner soaks and/or collects any Liquid coLlected within umbrella compartments 103 or 130. The liner is then removed after use for suitable disposal.
Figure 16(a) shows an umbrella bag 105 with a closure mechanism at its upper extremity 106 which takes the form of a so-called "freezer bag seal".
Figure 16(b) shows an umbrella bag 107 with an upper closure mechanism formed by two projecting strands 108 and 109 which may be knotted together as shown in figure 16C.
