BACKGROUND OF INVENTION

This invention relates to a garment carrying device capable of carrying various garments such as but not limited to jackets, coats, and suits.
Garments are an essential part of everyday life around world. In many instances one must dress appropriately with many factors in mind, one of the biggest being the weather. Whether it is to venture outdoors, or a trip to another city, state, or country. Depending on one's destination there are various garments that might be needed. A walk to the park on a sunny day might suddenly turn wet with rain showers. In this case having a raincoat and or an umbrella readily and easily accessible might be desired. A hiking adventure into a scenic mountainous landscape might start on a chilly morning that requires a jacket. As the day progresses and the hike continues the weather conditions could change, no longer requiring the jacket. Airport travel might have your destination start in a hot climate and end in a cold one, or vice versa. In this situation one might be travelling through airports having to carry a jacket, coat, or sweater. This can be very uncomfortable and a nuisance, as travelers often need their hands to be free to present documents, buy food, etc.
All the aforementioned examples puts one in a situation where they must either carry the garment with their hands or pack the garment in a suitcase, or bag, etc. There is no convenient and hands free way to easily have a garment readily available for use, and back to non-use. Thus, there is a need for device that can carry garments in a manner in which the user can easily operate and still have their hands free.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention, a garment carrying device provides a hands free way to carry garments. The garment carrying device comprises mainly of five straps. One large central strap and four smaller straps attached to the large central strap. The central strap acts as a harness around the body and can be adjusted to fit the individual. The four smaller straps are positioned in pairs approximately two feet apart and are attached to the back of central strap. The smaller straps can be adjusted and buckled together to secure the garment.
An object of the invention is to allow the user wear it when not currently being used to carry a garment. Components are designed to be sleek and minimal, allowing the garment carrying device to have a very low profile.
Another object of the invention allows for the user to tailor the fit by the device's buckle adjuster.
Another object of the invention is to provide a means to adjust the back small straps to secure garments of different sizes.

FIG. 4 illustrates a perspective view of a modified form of construction of the garment carrying device.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Referring now to the invention in more detail, in FIG. 1 there is shown a garment carrying device 100. It is equipped with a long strap 102. The front side of the strap 102 has an adjustable buckle 105. The backside of the strap 102 has two sex bolts 107 inserted into it that hold two sets of small straps 103, 104. Small strap 103 has a buckle 106 on the end of it. Small strap 104 has holes running down its center.
In more detail, still referring to the invention of FIG. 1, FIG. 2, and FIG. 4, the buckle 105 allows for the strap 102 to be adjusted, the user can tighten or loosen the strap 102 to fit comfortably diagonally across the torso as shown in FIG. 3. The small straps 103, 104 are attached to the strap 102 with a sex bolt 107. Small strap 103 has a belt buckle on one end 106, this allows the small strap 103 to be tightened and loosened to best secure the garment 111 by buckling it with small strap 104. The sex bolt 107 is tall enough in height to allow enough clearance between the strap 102 and small straps 103, 104 as shown in FIG. 2. This will allow small straps 103, 104 to hang perpendicular to the ground. This will create a flat surface for the back of the strap 102, allowing the wearer of the garment carrying device to wear the jacket or coat over the garment carrying device when it is not in use.
The construction details of the invention as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 are that the garment carrying device 100 may be made of nylon webbing or any other fully bendable material such as leather, canvas, denim, and plastic. Also various parts of the garment carrying device 100 such as the buckles 106 can be made from different materials such as wood, hard plastic, or metal. The buckle 106 could either be a belt buckle or any other buckle that allows for adjustment such as but not limited to a side release buckle 110. In such case the small straps 103,104 need not have holes as shown in FIG. 4.
