Definitions

  • the invention is intended to simplify the process of drying the sports equipment. By simply mounting the invention into the zipper of the offending bag and plugging it into a power source, your sports gear will have fresh air circulating through the bag; effectively you are able to dry the contents of the sports bag without the need to remove anything from the bag.
  • a power source is needed, which can include 110 AC standard plug, 12-volt DC plug, a car lighter plug or battery either regular or rechargeable.
  • the invention is designed to mount into a sports bag zipper.
  • a sports bag zipper E.g. Hockey equipment bag, roller hockey equipment bag, Lacrosse equipment bag as well as some smaller sports bags. It will basically fit anywhere you have a zipper opening large enough to fit the invention, it could also be used for circulation in a tent, sleeping bag or other.
  • the structure of the invention is such that air will be drawn fresh air into the sports bag through the area normally occupied by the closed zipper.
  • the operation of the invention is to dry sports equipment while it is still in the bag. It incorporates a fan, and a fan housing specially designed to temporally mount into any sports bag that has a zipper. It is designed to handle attachments that will allow it to:
  • Internal channels could be added within the bag to force moving air into less obvious areas of the bag.
  • Said exhaust ports also act as an air distribution method because the air under pressure will find the exhaust ports, thus acting like a flow channel.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates the preferred design of the invention. Shows clearly how the flange is the critical instrument in mounting the invention into a spots bag.
  • FIG. 2 illustrates what the invention looks like while mounted into a sports bag. It shows air direction as going both ways, this is done by simply flipping the device over. It also shows exhaust ports on the end of the bag, this is an attachment that allows the damp air to exit the sports bag.
  • FIG. 2B shows a blowup drawing of a typical exhaust port.
  • the carbon filter would be attached to the exhaust ports.
  • FIG. 3 illustrates a closer view of what the invention looks like while mounted into the sports bag.
  • FIG. 3B illustrates how the zipper is split along both sides of the invention.
  • the open part of the zipper hugs the invention on all sides, thus creating a seal that resist air blow back.
  • FIG. 4 illustrates the opposite end of the invention and another view of how the zipper hugs the invention.
  • FIG. 5 illustrates what a multi fan configuration would look like. Settings could be set to blow both fans the same direction or opposite directions. Attachments could be mounted to either fan area or both fan areas. In the case of opposite settings, a divider may enhance the movement of air across the equipment contained in the sports bag. Also illustrated is an example of how the air could be exhausted through another exit port within the invention its self.
  • FIG. 6 illustrates an inverted view showing what an U.V. dome attachment would look like.
  • the dome acts as a manifold as well as providing a U.V. Oblique possibly a clear violet color.
  • the material for this attachment would be a clear acrylic and could have some prism type prescriptions for light distribution and enhancement.
  • FIG. 7 illustrates the short section of the device showing how the U.V. dome typically could mount to the main housing.
  • the flanges are clearly shown but could be of a different shape in the production model.
  • FIG. 8 illustrates what the glove attachment will look like.
  • the chimney like protrusions will act as a rack for specialty type equipment like hockey gloves.
  • the mounting style and mounting holes are also illustrated.
  • FIG. 9 illustrates a very close look at how the zipper surrounds the invention when installed. Note that only the zipper and zipper web are shown for clarity. (The actual bag is hidden)
  • FIG. 10 illustrates only the zipper in the position it would be in with the invention installed.
  • the zipper handles are pulled together a seal is produced. This seal will allow air to be blown into or out of the sports bag with minimal leakage.
  • FIG. 11 illustrates the construction of the invention and how two similar or identical parts sandwich a purchased fan.
  • FIG. 12 illustrates the short section showing the fan, the grill, hub, sections of the zipper and zipper web and how they fit into the sports bag two headed zipper.
  • FIG. 12B illustrates a blowup section view of the zipper, zipper web, and sports bag.
  • FIG. 13 illustrates the long section, showing the zipper heads, the zipper handles, the electrical box, the fan, and approximately how the zipper heads approach the end of the invention and the end cut of the flange.
  • FIG. 13B illustrates a blowup section of how the zipper head is pulled up to the invention using its unique shape to house and hug the invention.
  • FIG. 1 Descriptions
  • Wire channel an internal wire channel that attaches the fan cavity to the electrical box.
  • Electrical box a round cavity to facilitate wiring and possible on/off switch.
  • Center hub of product common place for sticker or engraving.
  • Grill provides protection for the fan blades, could be shaped to represent a certain sport. I.e.. It could look like a hockey stick, lacrosse stick, hockey player, country emblem, team emblem.
  • Flange shows the flange that traps (hugs) the zipper and shows how the flange terminates to allow zipper handles to snug up close to invention.
  • FIG. 2 -A and FIG. 2 -B Descriptions
  • Zipper handle part of zipper that controls the zipping and unzipping.
  • Sports bag handle used to transport the equipment bag.
  • Air may be forced into the bag or out of the bag. (in or out)

  • FIG. 3 -A and FIG. 3 -B Description
  • Flange Illustrates the top side of the flange (flange shape or flange ending is not fixed.
  • Zipper mechanism part of the zipper that facilitates opening and closing the zipper
  • Zipper split area shows where the zipper opens and initially hugs the invention.
  • FIG. 5 Description
  • Grill shows grill or fan area of the double fan long product.
  • Minimum Radius Minimum radius maintained to enhance hug type fit.
  • Electrical box housed the wires and wire connectors or switches.
  • Air channel—design of this attachment is such that it will not only act as a UV magnifier but also an air manifold.
  • Helmet and UV attachment shown in inverted position ready for helmet sanitation. It can also be used in the regular position thus protruding into the sports bag, evenly distributing sanitized air, and UV bacteria killing light.
  • attachment holding holes used to mount attachments using screws, snaps, rivets etc.
  • Section of flange showing one possible shape for the zipper to hug around
  • Section of screw hole for construction of invention can also be assembled using rivets, self tapping screws, etc.
  • Fan insulation area this is where the fan (purchased) is encapsulated.
  • U.V. Light bulb or source of U.V. light source also provides heat.
  • FIG. 8 Description
  • Upper lip of glove attachment Illustrates where the gloves will mount for specialized drying.
  • Glove attachment glove attachment showing glove cones for mounting gloves or specialty gear.
