Abstract
Baggage such as a backpack or shoulder bag includes a storage receptacle, a strap extending from the storage receptacle and serving to extend over a carrier's body to support the storage receptacle, and an electric vibrator attached to the strap in a position at which the strap is to be supported by the carrier's body in use. The permanent vibrator is intended to alleviate muscular aches and pains over prolonged carrying periods.
Description
- The present invention relates to baggage having vibrating inserts in their straps or other body-bearing areas. More particularly, although not exclusively, the invention relates to backpacks, shoulder bags and golf bags having small electric vibrators located in their shoulder straps.
- Heavily laden backpacks cause pain to the shoulders and back of the wearer after a prolonged period of carrying. Similarly, heavy shoulder bags and golf bags for example can cause pain across the shoulder blade of the wearer.
- It is an object of the present invention to substantially alleviate such pain as described above by incorporating electric vibrators in the carry straps and/or other body-bearing parts of baggage.
- There is disclosed herein baggage comprising:
- a storage receptacle,
- a strap extending from the storage receptacle and serving to extend over a carrier's body to support the storage receptacle, and
- an electric vibrator attached to the strap in a position at which the strap is to be supported by the carrier's body in use.
- The baggage might be a backpack comprising a pair of said straps each being shoulder straps and having a plurality of said electric vibrators attached to each shoulder trap.
- There might be further electric vibrators attached to the storage receptacle for positioning against the back of the carrier in use.
- The baggage might be a shoulder bag in which the strap is a shoulder strap having a plurality of said vibrators positioned at a mid region thereof.
- Alternatively, the baggage might be a golf bag in which the strap is a shoulder strap having a plurality of said vibrators attached thereto.
- The vibrators might be attached to a shoulder pad that can be repositioned along the shoulder strap.
- Preferred forms of the present invention will now be described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein:
-
FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective illustration of a backpack having electric vibrators in its shoulder straps and an upper back-engaging surface of its storage receptacle, -
FIG. 2 is a schematic perspective illustration of a shoulder bag having electric vibrators fixed within a pad that can be repositioned along its strap, and -
FIG. 3 is a schematic perspective illustration of a golf bag having electric vibrators fixed within a pad that can be repositioned along its shoulder strap. - In
FIG. 1 of the accompanying drawings there is depicted schematically a backpack 10 comprising areceptacle 11 into which heavy objects might be stored. The backpack 10 comprises a pair ofshoulder straps 12 that extend from a top portion of thereceptacle 11 down to respective bottom portions at each opposite side. There is an array ofelectric vibrators 13 attached to the shoulder-bearing portion of eachstrap 12 and also to the upper back-bearing portion of thestorage receptacle 11. The vibrators are provided in an array comprising several rows ofvibrators 13. Thevibrators 13 can be secured by adhesive or stitching for example, or might be located beneath the surface. - In
FIG. 2 of the accompanying drawings there is depicted schematically ashoulder bag 20 having astorage receptacle 11 and asingle shoulder strap 12 that passes through ashoulder pad 14 in which theelectric vibrators 13 are located. Theshoulder pad 14 can be repositioned by sliding along theshoulder strap 12. Again, theelectric vibrators 13 are provided in an array comprising several rows. The vibrators receive electric current from thebattery pack 16 viawires 15 within the lining of the backpack and within the strap. Abattery pack 16 would be located within the backpack itself, or is a special small externally-accessible compartment. - In
FIG. 3 of the accompanying drawings there is depicted schematically agolf bag 30 having ashoulder strap 12 extending from its top to its bottom. There is amovable pad 14 comprising an array ofelectric vibrators 13. Abattery pack 16 is depicted with itsassociated wiring 15. - In use, the baggage is carried in a known fashion.
- However, the vibration generated by the electric vibrators extends into the supportive body parts and provides a massage effect. This vibration is believed to provide a therapeutic benefit and is particularly believed to have some beneficial affect on blood flow beneath the surface of the supportive body parts.
- It should be appreciated that modifications and alterations obvious to those skilled in the art are not to be considered as beyond the scope of the present intention. For example, pressure switches might be provided adjacent the vibrators to activate the vibrators when the baggage is carried. That is, the pressure switches might be located at positions of the straps or the baggage itself where they are expected to bear against the wearer's body in use. This would close an electrical circuit between the battery pack and the vibrators. To save electricity and thereby prolong battery life, individual sensors might be located alongside each vibrator so that only those vibrators currently bearing against the wearer's body will be activated.
