Disposal, filed July 7, 2005 US provisional patent application 60 / 697,122 Disposal, filed January 8, 2005 US design patent 29 / 220,937, filed January 8, 2005 US provisional patent application 60 / 642,363, 2005 5 U.S. Design Patent 29 / 230,740, May 25, 2005 U.S. Design Patent 29 / 230,685, May 25, 2005 U.S. Design Patent 29 / 230,683, and June 10, 2005 U.S. Design Patent 29 / 231,821, each of which is fully incorporated by reference into this patent.

  A variety of bottle totes and bags are known in the art, but all lack the valuable features of the present invention. In numerous disclosures by Hamilton (US Pat. No. D441,612, US Pat. No. D409,450, US Pat. No. D414,083) (collectively Hamilton), the wine bottle bag placed from above is formed from three sewn pieces. And has two separately attached handle portions connecting the main body portion and the upper opening side. The body portion is sewed to bulge outward and includes a loose wine bottle and provides a portable handle in two more portions. Another embodiment has a small chuck pocket on the outer surface of the body portion. Hamilton offers a convenient top-down wine bag, but prevents accidental dropout, rattling, or the safety of the bottle without the lid for easy safety and safety against other goods during transport Does not provide an option to ensure. Hamilton, in the same way, has not been able to optimize convenient immediate construction, requiring multiple pieces that are inevitable to waste when multi-dimensional stitching and die cutting.

  In Prouster (US Pat. No. 1,808,375), a shopping bag is formed from two main pieces of flexible material sewn together. In a continuous top piece, a mobile strap and a double-sided panel are formed, and the bottom piece is sewn to the bottom of each side that joins them to form a supporting bottom member. In this embodiment, the selected material is simply a fabric and therefore to allow heat preservation, to make the bottle safe from rattling or breakage, or to hold the bottle in a bag. Easy to provide an assembly strap to tighten to, or to attach a shopping bag to another item for easy safety against tilting, or to provide an attachment mechanism to make transportation safe It is not in the form. As a further downside, the bottom panel protects the bottom of the jar from flat contact without manually “pulling up” the shopping bag for loosely-fitted jars, and has a continuous seam that risks tying and tilting the jar. Have.

  Tyburg (US 2003/0228072) provides a bottle container that can be folded from a base having a folding shaft, a bottle bag having a top and a bottom, the bottom of which is fixed to the base. . A mobile strap is provided. At Tyburg, the structure is adapted to accept only one container in transit, all with the same diameter.

  In Watchtel (US Pat. No. 5,050,998), double laundry bags provide a number of stackable compartments. Each compartment section has a chucking block so that each compartment can be easily opened individually. The laundry bag has a pair of adjustable carrying straps and multiple belts, and a mating point is provided to ensure loading of the laundry. In Watchtel, the panels are constructed from inelastic fabric material that must be tied up and tied down to ensure mounting.

  Referring to Plummer (U.S. Pat. No. 2,405,517), a bottle-handling device is provided for receiving a container and is formed from a fabric to contain a number of individual heel pockets with heels. In use, the fabric is opened flat on the support surface and the container is inserted into the heel pocket. The fabric portions are suspended and folded so that the pockets are loose and can hang from each other. Plummer does not make the container safe from accidental separation due to its retention of elasticity, and similarly provides no means for supporting all containers against individual rattles and breaks. At the same time, Plummer does not consider temperature maintenance, ease of removal and insertion, and structures that easily fit multiple panel structures.

  In Cunningham (U.S. Pat. No. 3,812,962), the plastic container consists of a one-piece packaging system with an encircled skirt for engaging the container from the top and an upper part of the cover connecting the portable handle. Plastic packaging with an extended bottom is provided on a continuous tear roll, but similarly, the needs addressed by the numerous examples are not addressed.

  In Hinman (US Pat. No. 2,473,429), a single fabric member is placed flat on a support surface and a plurality of patch pockets are stitched along the inner surface. Containers are inserted into multiple pockets from different directions, and the opposite ends of a single fabric member are gathered together and folded into a garment pocket. As shown, only a continuous tension on the fabric member holds the pocket in a proximate position that prevents accidental separation and breakage.

  As noted above, there is a need for a tote device that provides one or more of the following advantages.

  The above and other needs, objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following description read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which the reference numerals designate elements and the like.

  Reference is made to the details of several embodiments of the invention illustrated in the accompanying drawings. Wherever possible, the same or similar reference numbers are used in the drawings, the description, or the steps to refer to the same or like parts. The figure is simplified and not an exact scale. Directional languages such as top, bottom, top, bottom, top, top, bottom, etc. are used with respect to the figures solely for convenience and clarity. Any of these or similar directional languages should not be construed to limit the scope of the invention. Further, similar language with words such as “coupled” and “pair” and refractive morphemes need not imply direct and immediate, but shall include coupling as an intermediate element or means.

  Referring to FIGS. 1A through 1I, one alternative embodiment of the present invention, as shown, includes four similarly shaped panels 101A having respective handle openings 102A, 102B, 102C and 102D, A multi-container or multi-pack tote device consisting of 101B, 101C and 101D is provided.

  For convenience only, panels 101A and 101B are referred to as outer panels and panels 101C and 101D are referred to as inner panels. Similarly, for the sake of convenience, as will be described later, panels 101A and 101C are referred to as a first determination container group, and panels 101B and 101D are referred to as a second determination container group. As will be provided later, the present multi-pack invention may be combined with a single set of container groups to provide an easily adapted multi-pack tote device without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Can be changed or expanded.

  In this example, as will be described later, each panel 101A-101D is formed with a bottom portion 104 (here circular but others to shape) to assist in the formation of a planar support surface for a filled tote device. Is also considered later). It will be understood that the molded portion 104 is provided with different shapes, sections, dressings and structures for the same purpose without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.

  In the preferred construction, the two respective panels of each group are large single pockets having an open top portion and a closed bottom portion or partial outer perimeter seam lines 106 (also referred to as perimeter mounting joints) that form each group of bags. Sewn together). The perimeter seam line 106 is shown to have been formed with a sewing machine, but can be constructed in any suitable manner that securely joins the individual panels without limiting the flexibility in use. Can do. Suitable construction methods can include alternative bonding, radio frequency (RF) stitching, rivet stitching, and the like.

  Tubing or edging material 103 is stitched around each respective upper opening portion of each group (here, for two connecting panels) and around each respective handle opening 102A-102D. The edging material 103 provides a favorable look, strengthens the handle and panel, and helps to minimize fraying and wear during use. As will be described below, the edging material 103 can be provided in a single layer around the upper portion of the panels 101A-101D (shown), and if a group of panels are joined, the lining material 103 The additional layer 103A can be used to further strengthen the bonding edge and cover a portion of the edging material 103 to provide a smooth transition between the container regions. The additional layer 103A can be applied during later assembly, and can also be applied prior to the formation of the boundary region 110, as described below.

  In the next stage, each group of two panels is a defined seam 108, referred to for convenience as a bottle seam 108 in a selected position, but is further defined into a container or boundary region 110 with a defined mounting connection. . In the embodiment shown, the bottle seams 108 are arranged in two border areas 110, dividing each group of two panels by a half spacing.

  In the next stage, each group of two panels (101A + 101C and 101B + 101D) is arranged on top of each other. The two groups of divided panels are then sewn together by a seam line (referred to as a joint seam or joint attachment) 109 located under the handle that joins the two groups of two panels together. A joint seam 109 is disposed in each container or boundary region formed by each series of container seam lines 108 as shown (see FIG. 1E). The bond is achieved by the container 105 in a honeycomb-like effect where each container region or pocket 110 pushes with minimal pressure on the selected panel material and can keep multiple totes flat when not in use. To be able to accept. The structure (multiple sets of panel pockets) can be adapted to an easy container shape that facilitates manufacturing changes and minimizes waste.

  For example, by defining or excluding the container seam line 108 on one side, a larger pocket is provided (as will be shown later), for example with two containers 105 to allow transport of the sandwich.

  In the second example, a single large-diameter bottle can be stored by regulation or the exclusion of the container seam 108 on both sides, while still allowing the transport of sandwiches in the larger boundary area 110 facing each other I have to. Similarly, as will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, the structure is immediately adapted to the creation of multi-purpose structures, multiple pocket structures such as diaper mobile bags, daily use bags, and larger personal pockets. Can be adapted.

  As specifically described in FIG. 1G, the container 105 is inserted and withdrawn from the boundary region 110 along the vertical direction 111 as shown. The structure can be easily used in a structure where multiple pack tote 100A is partially filled without departing from the spirit of self-supporting and buffering described.

  Directly referring to FIG. 1I, the conforming structure uses a strap 112 having a fastener portion 112A to secure a multiplex pack 100A wound in a convenient shape for packaging, storage and transportation between uses. Can also be used.

  As is apparent from FIG. 1F, each panel 101A to 101D of this structure is a multilayer, and further includes a resilient buffer layer 107 bounded by opposing protective layers 107A. As will be described, the structure can be any reasonable material for each panel, including a single layer material, but without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. One provides the buffer layer 107 as one of the felt materials of either the open or closed cell shape, or natural or manmade, for example, neoprene or SBR (styrene butadiene rubber). Similarly, the outer protective layer 107A can be formed from any suitable natural or man-made material and can be formed from a cloth or thin film material without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. . Thus, as an example, a coated nylon fabric can be used as the layer 107A, and a flexible thin layer made from petroleum can also be applied.

  Referring to FIGS. 2A through 2E, another multi-pack embodiment 100B is provided with panels or sheets 113A, 113B, 113C and 113D, as shown in a structure similar to embodiment 100A. . In a similar structural manner described in Example 100A above, each panel 113A-113D includes a handle opening 114A-114D, respectively.

  As can be seen in particular in FIG. 2B, the protective rim or piping layer 103 covering the central members 113C, 113D is partially covered, with an additional protective layer 103A on either side of Example 100B. Are combined.

  As can be seen in the embodiment, each of the panels 113A to 113C and 113B to 113D is formed as an initial container group or as a set near the side or outer seam 106.

  As described above, the present multi-panel structure allows for the immediate formation of a multi-pack design with a variety of uses through the use of defined seam lines 108 and the use of joint seams 106, as best seen in FIG. 2D. Here, the individual panels are formed in the multi-boundary container region by stitch line positioning without requiring major design changes or machine re-installation.

  As a result, one of the notable needs of the simplified structure described above is easily achieved by the use of multiple panel structures and repetitive divisions and by seams or stitching guarantees.

  Referring to FIGS. 3A through 3C, another suitable embodiment 3 of the present invention includes side panels, sheets or compartments 115A, 115B, 115C and 115D, each having a handle opening 116A, 116B, 116C and 116D, respectively. Provided in the multipack 100C provided.

  Unlike the previous multiple pack embodiments 100A, 100B, the multiple pack 100C comprises two patch members 117, 117 coupled to the respective bottom portions of the panels 115A-115D near the patch stitch line 118. .

  Incorporated herein by reference, as shown in FIG. 3C, the baffle member 117 is easily bridged to the bottom of each boundary container region 110 to support the container 105 and prevent rattling. Replace the shaped bottom section 104 to form a planar bottom member.

  Inclusion of the baffle member 117 adds an additional building step to the process, but requires minimal additional time and expense and allows easy folding and miniaturization of the multipack 100C during transport between uses. Therefore, it is assumed that a bending seam is formed by thermal fusion along the central region of the patch cloth 117. The outer protective layer 107A on the dressing member 117,117 is selected from a material that is different from or more wear resistant than the material selected for the protective layer 107A used on the panels or sheets 115A-115D. Can do. As a result, this embodiment can be used without frequent unintentional degradation, even in frequent use or in high wear environments.

  Reference is made to another alternative embodiment of the present multipack invention shown in FIGS. 4A-4C, represented by multipack device 100D. Multiple pack device 100D includes seat or panel members 119A, 119B, 119C and 119D assembled as shown, each having a respective handle opening 120A-120D.

  The structure is essentially similar to the embodiment described above using a perimeter seam 121 (replaces perimeter seam 106) and a perimeter seam 123 to form a defined seam line 108. As explained above, similar borders and piping materials 103, 103A are used.

  In this embodiment 100D, the perimeter bond 121 is formed with a simple seam in a faster construction method for use than the perimeter seam 106 requiring edge to edge stitching. However, as a result, the raw, unfinished edges of panels 119A-119D must be exposed and covered by an edging or encapsulation of additional peripheral piping or edging material 112 similar to piping material 103, 103A.

  Referring to FIGS. 5A to 5C, the cross-sectional view as seen in the previous figure is from the panel 101A representing the seam and structural replacement for the outer perimeter 106 and the four panel multiplex packs as shown above. Disclose the use of 101D. Similarly, it has been clarified how the multiple layers 107, 107A for each panel in the multiple pack will frame the exposed cut ends of each panel or the piping material 103, 103A will protect.

  Referring to FIG. 5D, it is apparent that panel 115A (and panels 115B to 115D, respectively) is coupled to the dressing member 117 by a tip seam line 118 in a manner similar to the peripheral seam line 106. Accordingly, those skilled in the art of fabric assembly and manufacturers may use seam lines 106, 118, 123, etc. in any manner effective to complete the work required by the seam lines without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. It is easily understood that it can.

  Referring to FIG. 6A, a 4-pack multi-pack structure 100E is provided in an exploded view, and the reference numbers proposed in FIGS. 1A through 1I are used for convenience.

  As shown by the representative seam lines 106, 108 and 109, the construction of the multi-pack tote from the similar panel structure can be carried out as quickly as the cutting pattern in the process of assembling the above-mentioned tote and other steps.

  With reference to FIGS. 7A-7C, another multi-pack embodiment 100F provides boundary container areas for four outer containers in a manner similar to the described Example 1.

  As shown here, a continuous panel or sheet is provided with multiple pre-cut handle openings 126. The continuous sheet 125 is subdivided into continuous panel portions 127A and 127B for explanation. As will be understood hereinafter, the continuous panel portion is simply referred to as the panel portion. Therefore, whether it is originally continuous or completely separated from each other, the structural similarity is maintained and the wording panel portion or the sheet portion is used.

  If structural assembly is used as shown in FIG. 7B, similar seam lines 106, 108, 109 are used to form a plurality of pockets or boundary regions 110A. As shown, the multiple tote device 100F includes piping or edging material 103, 103A to minimize edge wear.

  The main commercial advantage of the present multiple tote device 100F is a single sheet construction, which prevents unintentional misalignment, i.e. waste, between the panels being assembled.

  Referring to FIGS. 8A-8C, another exemplary multiple pack structure 100G provides two consecutively folded portions 128A, 128B with multiple respective handle openings 129, as shown. To do. The continuous panel portions 128A, 128B are similar to the comments associated with the referenced FIGS. 7A-7C, for simplicity, all panel portions are combined for manufacturing simplicity or otherwise. It is referred to as a panel or a sheet, whether or not.

  In connection with what is shown in FIGS. 7A to 7C, in a similar manner, simplified construction techniques are used as allowed by the multi-panel design without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. be able to.

  Those skilled in the art of textile and consumer product assembly will recognize that modifications can be made to a single (multiple tote embodiment 100F) or dual panel (multiple tote embodiment 100F) design.

  Referring to FIGS. 9A and 9B, another multiple tote embodiment is provided with multiple tote 100H for transporting baby bottle 132. A pair of opposing panels or sheets 130A and 130B are stitched along the outer peripheral seam, and the expansion patch member 131 is joined by patch stitching. Multiple tote 100H is divided into two container areas to receive bottle 132.

  A releasable coupling member, shown as strap 137A, is capable of a clasp fit between the clasp members 136,136. An edge or piping material 137 is provided on the substantially open outer periphery. The bottle 132 is a baby bottle and includes a plastic bag 133 for containing the weaned milk 135 spaced from the wall of the bottle 132 through the space 134.

  Referring to FIGS. 10A and 10B, another multiple tote embodiment 100I includes a bottom dressing member 139 and side panels or sheets 138A and 138B joined by stitches and split elements in the manner described above. Provided in. A container 140, shown as a wine bottle, is located inside and securely held. The handle openings 141, 141 are aligned along the seats or panels 138A, 138B as shown.

  As can be seen in FIG. 10B, the wall of the wine bottle 140 is in direct contact and insulated by panels 138A, 138B thereby buffering and optionally insulating the liquid component 143.

  Referring to FIGS. 11A and 11B, multiple pack tote device 100J includes a multiple panel structure having panels 145A, 145B, 145C and 145D joined by perimeter seam 106. As shown, panels 145A-145D include handle openings 146A-146D. A defined seam (not shown) forms a plurality of pockets 110J in the manner previously described, and a chuck 147 having a chuck trigger 148 provides a mechanism for closing each set of pockets.
