Abstract
Description
- This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/123,913, filed Mar. 12, 1999 and U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/518,746, filed on Mar. 3, 2000.
- This invention relates generally to the field of backpacks and pocketed vests worn by people and used for carrying discrete items without the need to use the hands to carry the items, and in particular for bulky or relatively heavy items. More particularly, the invention relates to such devices which comprise a vest structure with a relatively large and voluminous pocket on the rear of the vest. Even more particularly, the invention relates to such devices with additional large pockets on the front of the vest, whereby the overall load can be more evenly distributed between the front and the rear of the wearer, which is especially applicable to children required to transport large, heavy books and notebooks back and forth to school.
- It is very common for school children to have different books covering different subjects, along with one or more notebooks which must be carried home and back to school. These books and notebooks are awkward, heavy and difficult to carry in number, especially for the smaller children. Thus it is extremely common for the children to use standard backpacks comprising a relatively large containment compartment with a pair of shoulder straps, the compartment being positioned on the child's back with the child's arms inserted through the straps, which are positioned on the child's front. Unfortunately, this solution to the problem of transporting the books and notebooks presents problems of several sorts. The load is centralized in one area, putting a concentrated strain on the child's back in a manner which stresses the child's spine and can result in muscle fatigue or even injury to the child. This is exacerbated by the fact that the backpacks are usually not properly sized or fitted for the children, and are not designed to properly distribute the load in a manner such as found with expensive hiking and mountaineering backpacks, which have built-in, contoured stiffeners, cinch straps, waist belts, etc.
- It is an object of this invention to provide a combination vest and backpack comprising a garment with large front and back pockets for receiving the load items, where the weight is evenly or more evenly distributed between the front and back of the wearer. Other garments or carrying devices to be worn are known in the prior art, but none are structured in a manner which accomplishes the goals of this invention. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,634,579 to Baclawski shows a backpack with an integral vest, where the front pocket is significantly smaller than the rear compartment. The garment is not joined at the sides in an extended manner, but instead is connected by straps only. U.S. Pat. No. 5,247,707 to Parker et al. shows a vest with an integral backpack and multiple small pockets distributed on the front. U.S. Pat. No. 5,195,187 to Yang shows a multi-pocketed vest with no backpack or large-volume rear pocket. U.S. Pat. No. 5,014,359 to Hanson shows a vest and backpack combination with a large number of small pockets. U.S. Pat. No. 5,002,270 to Shine shows an exercise vest with more pockets on the front than on the rear, where all the pockets are relatively small. U.S. Pat. No. 4,949,401 to Kimsey, Jr., shows a rear compartment mounted on a vest with small front pockets. U.S. Pat. No. 4,669,127 to Swanson shows a vest with a backpack and multiple small front pockets. U.S. Pat. No. 4,637,075 to Ingrisano et al. shows a vest with a number of small front pockets and a thin back pocket. None of these constructions would solve the problem encountered by school children where it is desirable to provide an even load distribution where the pockets are sized sufficiently large to accommodate school books and notebooks.
- The invention is a pocketed vest or a combination vest and backpack garment for carrying school books, notebooks and other loads in a distributed manner such that the weight of the total load is relatively evenly proportioned relative to the front and back of the wearer, where the vest comprises a back body member joined to a pair of front body members, the front body members being releasably connectable, such that the combination of the back and front body members define a pair of arm openings, a neck opening and a waist opening. The body members are formed of fabric, vinyl or similar material which is flexible, strong and durable. The device is worn on the torso of a person by insertion of the arms through the arm openings, the neck being positioned in the neck opening, with subsequent connection of the two front body members across the front of the torso. A relatively large volume rear pocket or compartment is mounted onto the back body member and a relatively large volume front pocket is mounted onto each of the front body members, with the front pockets occupying the majority portion of the front body members. The rear pocket has top, bottom and side panels such that the pocket has a three-dimensional interior. The combined volume of the front pockets is preferably substantially equal to the volume of the rear pocket, and all pockets have large openings to allow large items to be received therein. Preferably the pockets are provided with closure means, such as a zipper, snaps, buttons, drawstrings, hook and pile fastener or other like means to temporarily close the pockets to better retain the items disposed internally.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective front view of the invention.
- FIG. 2 is a perspective rear view of the invention.
- FIG. 3 is a perspective front view of an alternative embodiment of the invention.
- With reference to the drawings, the invention will now be described in detail with regard for the best mode and the preferred embodiment. In general, the invention comprises a pocketed vest or combination vest and backpack garment, appropriately sized to be worn by children to carry school books, note books and the like, where the load is substantially evenly distributed to the front and the rear of the vest such that excessive strain is not placed onto the back of the wearer. The vest and pockets may be composed of any suitable material having sufficient strength and flexibility, such as cloth fabric, synthetics, vinyls, mesh materials or the like.
- As seen in FIGS. 1 and 2, the
vest 10 comprises aback body member 11 having atop edge 21, a pair orlateral edges 22 and abottom edge 23, and a pair offront body members 12 each having atop edge 31, alateral edge 32, abottom edge 33 and afree edge 34. The lower portion of the back bodylateral edges 22 are connected to the lower portion of the front bodylateral edges 32 by stitching or other suitable means, such that thefree edges 34 of thefront body members 12 are positioned to meet in the center of the front of thevest 10. Thetop edge 31 of onefront body member 12 is joined to one side of thetop edge 21 of theback body member 11 by stitching or other suitable means. Likewise, the top edge of the otherfront body member 12 is connected to the other side of thetop edge 21 of theback body member 11. The center portion of the backbody top edge 21 is preferably slightly scalloped or curved downward and the top portion of the front bodyfree edges 34 are preferably recessed or curved in order to define a neck opening 13 to receive the wearer's neck and head. The top portion of thelateral edges front body members 12 andback body member 11 are preferably recessed or curved and not joined in order to define a pair ofarm openings 14 to receive the wearer's arms therethrough. The combination of thebottom edges front body members 12 and theback body member 11 define awaist opening 15 which surrounds the waist of the wearer when thevest 10 is disposed on the wearer's torso. - Front body closure means16 are disposed on or adjacent the
free edges 34 of thefront body members 12 below the neck opening 13, such that the twofront body members 12 can be releasably connected to each other in order to secure the vest about the torso of the wearer. Front body closure means 16 may comprise any suitable mechanism, such as for example a zipper, buttons, snaps, hook and pile type fasteners or the like. - A large
volume back pocket 40 is mounted externally onto theback body member 11. Theback pocket 40 comprises anouter panel 41, atop panel 42, abottom panel 43 and a pair ofopposing side panels 44, all connected to define an interior space withinback pocket 40 to receive items to be carried. Thetop panel 42,bottom panel 43 andside panels 44 are connected to theback body member 11, causingouter panel 41 to be distended or disposed a distance away from theback body member 11, preferably in a generally parallel manner. Back pocket closure means 45 are provided to allow access into the interior of theback pocket 40, preferably within or alongtop panel 42 or in the upper portion of theouter panel 41, where the back pocket closure means 45 allow theback pocket 40 to be releasably sealed as desired to retain items within theback pocket 40. Back pocket closure means 45 may comprise any suitable mechanism, such as for example a zipper, buttons, snaps, hook and pile type fasteners or the like.Back pocket 40 covers the majority portion ofback body member 11, extending vertically substantially from thebottom edge 23 defining the waist opening 15 to approximately the midpoint of thearm openings 14, and extending horizontally or laterally substantially from one back bodylateral edge 22 to the other back bodylateral edge 22. Thetop panel 42 of theback pocket 40 can be configured as a flap to enclose the upper portion of theouter panel 41. - Each of the
front body members 12 is provided externally with a large volumefront pocket 50. Front pockets 50, as shown in FIG. 1, each comprise anexterior panel 51 having atop edge 52, abottom edge 53, and opposing side edges 54, where at least three of the top, bottom and side edges 52, 53 and 54 are connected to thefront body member 12 by stitching or other suitable means. Where only three of the fouredges top edge 52 remains unconnected to provide access to the interior of thefront pocket 50. Preferably, closure means 55 are provided to releasably close thefront pocket 50 and to provide access to the pocket interior. Front pocket closure means 55 may join either thetop edge 52 or one of the side edges 53 to thefront body member 50, or may be positioned in the upper or side portion of theexterior panel 52 itself. Closure means 55 may comprise any suitable mechanism, such as for example a zipper, buttons, snaps, hook and pile type fasteners or the like. Eachfront pocket 50 covers the majority portion offront body member 12, extending vertically substantially from thebottom edge 33 defining thewaist opening 15 to approximately the bottom of thearm openings 14, extending horizontally or laterally substantially from the frontbody lateral edge 32 to thefree edge 34. Each of thefront pocket 50 is defined by aside opening 63 formed through theexterior panel 51 that is adjacent to theside edge 54 for supporting item placed within the pocket, as shown in FIG. 1. - Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 3, front pockets50 may comprise an
exterior panel 51, atop panel 56, abottom panel 57 and a pair of opposingside panels 58, where theexterior panel 51 is joined to thetop panel 56,bottom panel 57 andside panels 58, and where the top, bottom andside panels 58 are connected to thefront body member 12 by stitching or other suitable means, such that theexterior panel 51 is distended and disposed in generally parallel and separated manner from thefront body member 12 to define an interior for receiving items. Top panel or aside panel 58 is provided with closure means 55 to releasably close thefront pocket 12. Alternatively, closure means 55 can be positioned onexterior panel 51 itself. Thetop panel 42 of theback pocket 40 can be configured as a flap to enclose the upper portion of theouter panel 41. As before, the font pockets 50 preferably cover the majority portion offront body member 12, extending vertically substantially from thebottom edge 33 defining thewaist opening 15 to approximately the bottom of thearm openings 14, and extending horizontally or laterally substantially from the frontbody lateral edge 32 to thefree edge 34. Preferably in this configuration, the total volume of the twofront pockets 50 is substantially near or equal to the volume of theback pocket 40. Each of thefront pocket 50 is defined by aside opening 64 formed through theside panel 58 that are adjacent to the side lateral edges 32 for supporting items placed within the pocket, as shown in FIG. 3. - Also as shown in FIG. 3, the
vest 10 may be provided with a paid ofelastic panels 61 which are used to join the lateral edges 22 of theback body member 11 to the lateral edges 32 of thefront body members 12. This allows thevest 10 to better adapt to different torso sizes. A carry strap or handle 62, as seen in FIG. 2, can be provided across the middle ofback body member 11 to provide an efficient and comfortable way to carry thevest 10 when it is not being worn. In addition, the front pockets 50 can be detachable joined to thefront body members 12 by attachment means 59, such as through the use of hook and pile type fasteners, thereby allowing the individual front pockets 40 to be removed if desired. - It is understood and contemplated that equivalents and substitutions may be obvious and apparent to those skilled in the art for certain elements set forth above, and the true scope and definition of the invention therefore is to be set forth in the claims below.
