Description
- This invention relates to a carrying case. More particularly, this invention relates to such a case which is specifically designed to carry a blender and related accessories.
- Persons, such as food connoisseurs, who travel extensively and are away from home for long periods of time, often desire to take small appliances, such as a blender or food processor, with them for use during their extended stays. In the past, such would require carefully boxing or packing the blender so that its components would not be damaged during travel, for example, on an airplane. Alternatively, the food processing components could be carried in a conventional piece of luggage, but again, care would have to be taken so that the components do not move about with the luggage during transit. To date, there is no known case specifically designed to conveniently carry a blender and its accessories, and thus, the need exists for such a device.
- It is thus an object of the present invention to provide a carrying case which can conveniently hold the components of, and the accessories for, a blender or the like.
- It is another object of the present invention to provide a carrying case, as above, which can optionally be moved on wheels by the user, carried by hand, or carried on the back of the user.
- These and other objects of the present invention, as well as the advantages thereof over existing prior art forms, which will become apparent from the description to follow, are accomplished by the improvements hereinafter described and claimed.
- In general, a case made in accordance with one aspect of the present invention includes opposed front and rear walls, opposed side walls, and opposed top and bottom surfaces. An internal compartment is formed within the case, and a shelf is pivotally carried in the compartment.
- In accordance with another aspect of the invention, a case includes opposed front and rear walls, opposed side walls, and opposed top and bottom surfaces. A handle is positioned on the top surface and a second handle is telescopically received within the case. Wheels are carried by the bottom surface and a pocket is formed on the rear wall. Straps have one end attached in the pocket and are positionable adjacent to the rear wall.
- A preferred exemplary carrying case according to the concepts of the present invention is shown by way of example in the accompanying drawings without attempting to show all the various forms and modifications in which the invention might be embodied, the invention being measured by the appended claims and not by the details of the specification.
-
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the top, front and one side of a carrying case made in accordance with the concepts of the present invention. -
FIG. 2 is a front elevational view of the carrying case showing the main compartment open. -
FIG. 3 is a view similar toFIG. 2 but showing a shelf positioned in place in the compartment. -
FIG. 4 is a view similar toFIG. 3 but showing some blender components positioned and secured in the compartment. -
FIG. 5 is a sectional view taken substantially along line 5-5 ofFIG. 3 . -
FIG. 6 is a rear elevational view of the carrying case. - A carrying case made in accordance with the present invention is indicated generally by the
numeral 10. The majority of the components ofcase 10 are preferably made of a sturdy fabric or fabric-like material, such as ballistic nylon. Thus,case 10 includes a main fabric outer wall which includesopposed side walls 11 interconnected by atop wall 12, arear wall 13 and abottom surface 14 which can be reinforced by a stiffening board or the like. The main fabric outer wall extends fromside walls 11 to form afront frame wall 15 positioned at the top and opposed sides of the front ofcase 10. Afront flap 16 extends frombottom surface 14 and is attached tofront frame wall 15 by azipper assembly 17. A small pocket may be formed in the bottom offlap 16 with access being gained thereto through a zipper which is shown inFIG. 1 as being protected by a strip offabric 18.Flap 16 forms a door which, when opened, exposes a compartment generally indicated by thenumeral 20 and best shown inFIGS. 2 and 3 . -
Compartment 20 is likewise formed of a fabric material and includesopposed side walls 21 extending upwardly from the inside ofcase bottom surface 14. As shown inFIG. 5 ,compartment side walls 21 are spaced slightly inwardly fromcase side walls 11, thereby in effect providing a double wall fabric thickness on the sides ofcase 10.Compartment 20 also includes aback wall 22 and atop wall 23 interconnectingside walls 21. - Several holding straps can be positioned in
compartment 20, and two such straps are shown in the drawings as being representative. Thus, anupper strap 24 can be stitched toback wall 22 ofcompartment 20,strap 24 including a buckle orlatch 25. Similarly, alower strap 26 can be stitched toback wall 22 and includes a buckle orlatch 27. - A
shelf 28 is shown as being pivotally attached toback wall 22 betweenupper strap 24 andlower strap 26 on anend 29 thereof. Thus,shelf 28 can be pivoted onend 29 from an upper stowed position shown inFIG. 2 , to an extended shelf position shown inFIGS. 3 and 4 . To maintainshelf 28 in the stowed position, a patch of fastening material 30 (FIG. 5 ), such as Velcro®, may be provided near theend 31 ofshelf 28 to engage a mating patch of fasteningmaterial 32 carried bycompartment back wall 22. To maintainshelf 28 in the extended position, theopposed side edges 33 ofshelf 28 may be provided with flaps 34 (one shown) of fastening material, such as Velcro®), which are adapted to be attached to matingfastening strips 35 carried bycompartment side walls 21. -
Compartment 20 is thus capable of carrying various sized components, and in the preferred form, is particularly adapted to house a wide variety of blending components. For example, as shown inFIG. 4 , withshelf 28 in the extended or down position, one or more blender containers or pitchers P can be carried on theshelf 28, and at least one of them can be held in place bystrap 24. In addition, the handle of one of the pitchers P can be threaded, for support, through aloop 36 which is best shown inFIG. 3 as being formed on one ofcompartment side walls 21. Base B of the blender, which houses the motor and other controls, can be placed onbottom surface 14 belowshelf 28 and held in place bystrap 26. As shown, in this configuration, there is even room for a case C which might be utilized to carry blender accessories, drinking glasses or the like. The items can be securely held in place in that thebuckles straps - At times, the blender pitcher P is positioned on the blender base B and provided in a blender housing such as shown in U.S. Pat. No. D427,016. When it is desired to utilize
case 10 to transport such a housing with the base B and pitcher P inside of it, or any other large item of equivalent size,shelf 28 can be placed in the stowed position as shown inFIG. 2 , and at leastbelt 26 can be used to hold the items in the now full-sized compartment 20. -
Case 10 is also adapted to readily carry other items such as papers, recipes or the like. To that end, acompartment 40 may be formed on one or both sides ofcase 10 by attaching afabric pocket 41 to the outside ofside walls 11. Azipper assembly 42 may be utilized along the sides and top ofpocket 41 to open and close eachpocket 41 to gain access to and to seal eachcompartment 40. -
Case 10 is provided with means to enable the transportation thereof in three different manners. In a first mode,case 10 may be carried by hand. To that end, ahandle 43 may be sewn or otherwise attached to the outside oftop wall 12. Alternatively, in a second mode,case 10 may be rolled along onwheels 44 rotatably carried on the outside ofbottom surface 14 proximate torear wall 13. For that purpose, aconventional telescoping handle 45 may be provided. As best shown inFIG. 5 ,handle 45 is received in asocket 46 positioned in aninternal chamber 47 formed between theback wall 22 ofcompartment 20 and aninternal fabric wall 48 extending betweenside walls 11 ofcase 10. A stiffeningboard 49 may be attached towall 48 to provide rigidity to the back ofcase 10. - As a third mode of transportation,
case 10 may be carried as a backpack as shown by the system generally indicated by thenumeral 50 and shown inFIGS. 5 and 6 .Backpack system 50 includes a pair of spacedstraps 51 which are normally carried stored in apocket 52 formed betweenwall 48 andrear wall 13.Pocket 52 may be closed by azipper assembly 53 to maintainstraps 51 stored therein when the backpack option is not being employed. But when the backpack option is to be employed, straps 51 are removed frompocket 52, as shown inFIG. 6 . One end of eachstrap 51 is connected tocase 10 withinpocket 52, and the other end of eachstrap 51 is provided with a connectingstrap 54 of adjustable length and having aclip 55 at its end. Eachclip 55 is adapted to be attached to a D-ring 56 carried by caserear walls 13 orsidewalls 11. Once so connected,system 50 will thus allowcase 10 to be carried on one's back in a conventional manner. For the comfort of the user,system 50 also includes padding on therear wall 13 in the form of foam pads 57 (FIG. 5 ) carried in pockets formed by anextension 58 offabric pocket 41 around the back ofcase 10.Extension 58 is attached to the rear wall, at 59, as by stitching or the like. Thus,pads 57, which extend the majority of the height ofcase 10, provide comfort to the back of the user. - In view of the foregoing, it should be evident that a carrying case constructed as described herein accomplishes the objects of the present invention and otherwise substantially improved the art.
