- the invention relates generally to a sporting equipment bag, and more particularly, to a modular system for shipping, storing, and carrying ammunition.
- Hunting is an American pastime. Typically, an individual hunting animals will need to carry with them ammunition of various calibers, depending on the type of animal being hunted. Unfortunately, the best hunting locations are generally some distance from the closest roadway or vehicle parking area, and the aforementioned ammunition is only one of many supplies/accessories (e.g. firearm(s), decoys, food) that must be transported from the vehicle to the hunting location.
- supplies/accessories e.g. firearm(s), decoys, food
- Ammunition is typically carried in the field in storage boxes, bins, or cans. However, transporting ammunition in such units can add a lot of unnecessary weight and bulk. Others have been known to carry ammunition in the field in Ziploc® bags, doggie treat pouches, plastic Tupperware boxes, or used plastic peanut butter jars. But these types of storage units are neither sturdy nor durable and ammunition can get rather heavy when transported in bulk. Yet others have been known to carry ammunition in the field on their person in military or utility vests. But such vests are limited in the amount of ammunition that may be carried by the individual.

Description
- This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 61/936,227, entitled “Modular System For Shipping, Storing, and Carrying Ammunition,” filed on Feb. 5, 2014, the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The invention relates generally to a sporting equipment bag, and more particularly, to a modular system for shipping, storing, and carrying ammunition.
- 2. Background
- Hunting is an American pastime. Typically, an individual hunting animals will need to carry with them ammunition of various calibers, depending on the type of animal being hunted. Unfortunately, the best hunting locations are generally some distance from the closest roadway or vehicle parking area, and the aforementioned ammunition is only one of many supplies/accessories (e.g. firearm(s), decoys, food) that must be transported from the vehicle to the hunting location.
- Ammunition is typically carried in the field in storage boxes, bins, or cans. However, transporting ammunition in such units can add a lot of unnecessary weight and bulk. Others have been known to carry ammunition in the field in Ziploc® bags, doggie treat pouches, plastic Tupperware boxes, or used plastic peanut butter jars. But these types of storage units are neither sturdy nor durable and ammunition can get rather heavy when transported in bulk. Yet others have been known to carry ammunition in the field on their person in military or utility vests. But such vests are limited in the amount of ammunition that may be carried by the individual.
- Thus, there is a need for a durable, yet lightweight system for storing and toting ammunition to hunting locations in bulk. Such system must be capable of providing convenient and practical means for toting and storing sporting equipment, food, and supplies that hunters need or find desirable when hunting.
- A modular system for storing sports equipment and other articles is disclosed. In one example, the modular system includes a first storage unit and a second storage unit. The second storage unit is configured for being stored within the first storage unit. The first storage unit includes a first unit body having a first unit bottom, a first plurality of sidewalls, and a first unit top. The first unit bottom, the first plurality of sidewalls, and the first unit top define a first unit interior compartment for storing sporting equipment inside of the first unit body. The first unit bottom and the first plurality of sidewalls each include an inner lining of hook-and-loop type fastener material.
- The second storage unit includes a second unit body having a second unit bottom, a second plurality of sidewalls, and a second unit top. The second unit bottom, the second plurality of sidewalls, and the second unit top define a second unit interior compartment for storing sporting equipment inside of the second unit body. At least one coupling fastener is secured to an exterior surface of at least one of the second unit bottom, the second plurality of sidewalls, and the second unit top. The at least one coupling fastener engages the lining of hook-and-loop type fastening material to detachably fasten the second storage unit to the lining inside of the first unit interior compartment.
- A storage unit is also disclosed. The storage unit includes a body having a bottom wall, first pair of opposing sidewalls, a second pair of opposing sidewalls, and a top wall. The bottom wall, the first pair of opposing sidewalls, the second pair of opposing sidewalls, and the top wall define an interior compartment. At least one coupling fastener is secured to an exterior surface of each of the bottom wall, the first pair of opposing sidewalls, the second pair of opposing sidewalls, and the top wall.
- Other systems, methods, features and advantages of the invention will be or will become apparent to one with skill in the art upon examination of the following figures and detailed description. It is intended that all such additional systems, methods, features and advantages be included within this description, be within the scope of the invention, and be protected by the accompanying claims.
