Description
- This application is a Continuation of, and claims the benefit of, U.S. Non-provisional patent application Ser. No. 17/374,712, filed on Jul. 13, 2021, the content of which is incorporated by reference in its entirety.
- The present disclosure relates generally to the field of furniture with storage space, and, in particular, to the field of adjustable cushioned furniture specifically adapted to store equipment.
- Seafaring vessels often have limited storage space, creating the need for unique storage solutions. One answer is to use multipurpose furniture that acts as both seating and storage. For example, benches that hold life vests are found on many boat decks. Although such arrangements provide basic storage, they come with many drawbacks to comfort and versatility. Benches are rigid and heavy, making them difficult to move and limiting their placement options. Furthermore, most benches have back support that is fixed in place or no back support at all. We need furniture that is lightweight, flexible, and provides full body comfort. Furthermore, the furniture may be waterproof and should store exactly as much as required.
- The present disclosure satisfies the foregoing needs by providing, inter alia, a beanbag for addressing each of the foregoing desirable traits as well as methods of its manufacture and methods of its use.
- One aspect of the present disclosure is directed at a beanbag comprising an outer layer forming a generally closed container, a layer of cushioning lining the inside of the outer layer, an inside cavity, and a resealable access port to access the cavity. The cushioning may be a uniform foam layer or a layer of beanbag beans. The resealable access port may be a zipper or a hook and loop fastener. The outside layer may be waterproof or water-resistant.
- This beanbag can be used for storage by inserting equipment into the cavity through the resealable access port. Small to medium sized equipment such as life-vests, towels, blankets, and soft toys can be stored in any position within the beanbag. The beanbag always provides exactly as much storage as required, expanding or shrinking when equipment is added or removed. Furthermore, the walls of the beanbag are soft, keeping any stored equipment safe. The walls may also be waterproof, keeping any stored equipment dry.
- This beanbag has flexible walls that can be molded into a comfortable shape. Stored equipment can be rearranged within the beanbag, providing extra support in desired areas. Furthermore, the cushioning smooths out any bumps or irregularities caused by protruding sections of the equipment. This combination of elements provides a very versatile and comfortable piece of furniture.
- Another aspect of the present disclosure is directed at a beanbag comprising an outer layer forming a generally closed container, a layer of cushioning lining the inside of the outer layer, an inside cavity, a protrusion, a fastening mechanism, and a resealable access port to access the cavity.
- The protrusion terminates with the resealable access port. The resealable access port can be sealed by pinching together a portion of the protrusion surrounding the resealable access port, rolling up the portion, and using a fastening mechanism to secure the beanbag in a rolled-up configuration.
- The foregoing summary, as well as the following detailed description of preferred variations of the invention, will be better understood when read in conjunction with the appended drawings. For the purpose of illustrating the invention, there is shown in the drawings variations that are presently preferred. It should be understood, however, that the invention is not limited to the precise arrangements shown. In the drawings, where:

- The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. As used herein, the terms “and/or” includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items. As used herein, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” are intended to include the plural forms as well as the singular forms, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It will be further understood that the terms “comprises” and/or “comprising,” when used in this specification, specify the presence of stated features, steps, operations, elements, and/or components, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, steps, elements, components, and/or groups thereof.
- Unless otherwise defined, all terms (including technical and scientific terms) used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one having ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs. It will be further understood that terms, such as those defined in commonly used dictionaries, should be interpreted as having a meaning in the context of relevant art and the present disclosure will not be interpreted in an idealized or overly formal sense unless expressly so defined herein.
- In describing the invention, it will be understood that a number of elements and techniques are disclosed. Each of these has individual benefit, and each can also be used in conjunction with one or more, or in some cases all, of the other disclosed elements and techniques. Accordingly, for the sake of clarity, this description will refrain from repeating every possible combination of the individual elements or techniques in an unnecessary fashion. Nevertheless, the specification and claims should be read with the understanding that such combinations are entirely within the scope of the invention and the claim.

protrusion 211 may be an extended circular portion of the wall of thebeanbag 200 that extends outward away from the outer surface of thefirst layer 202. In other embodiments, theprotrusion 211 may be an extended portion of other shapes including, but not limited to, rectangles, ellipticals, ovals, and squares. Theprotrusion 211 may terminate with aresealable access port 204. Thebeanbag 200 is in its open configuration when theresealable access port 204 is open and the sides of theresealable access port 204 are pulled apart to create an opening in wall of thebeanbag 200, wherein the opening is sufficiently large to permit the passage of small to medium sized equipment such as a life-vest. The opening may have the same shape as theresealable access port 204. - Equipment may be stored in the
cavity 214. The equipment may comprise life-saving equipment such as life jackets, life preservers, visual distress signaling devices, and sound producing devices positioned in any configuration within thecavity 214. The equipment may further comprise lifestyle items such as towels, pillows, blankets, and soft toys positioned in any configuration within thecavity 214. - The
fastening mechanism 218 may comprise a first strap and a second strap, wherein each strap has a first end and a second end, wherein the first end of each strap is attached, through adhesives, stitching, or the like, to the outer surface of thefirst layer 202 at the base of theprotrusion 211, wherein the second end of each strap comprises a fastening element, and wherein the fastening elements of the first and second straps connect to each other to form a single secure strap. While two straps, a first strap and a second strap, is preferred, thebeanbag 200 may nonetheless comprise more than two straps. The fastening elements of first and second straps may be corresponding parts of a hook and loop fastener. In another embodiment, the fastening elements of the first and second straps may be corresponding parts of a buckle. In yet other embodiments, the fastening elements of first and second straps may be corresponding parts of any fastening mechanism that connect to each other to form a secure strap or straps. - Now referring to
FIG. 2B , thebeanbag 200, in its closed configuration, is illustrated and described in detail. Thebeanbag 200 may be placed into a closed configuration by pinching together a portion of theprotrusion 211 surrounding the resealable access port, rolling up the portion up to the base of theprotrusion 211, and using thefastening mechanism 218 to secure thebeanbag 200 in a rolled-up configuration by preventing the rolled up portion from unrolling. - Now referring to
FIG. 3 , several exemplary beanbag 300 shapes are illustrated and described in detail. The beanbag may be shaped into a teardrop, the classic beanbag shape, as seen in the topmost illustration inFIG. 3 , into an L-shape, a chair-like shape, as seen in the central illustration inFIG. 3 , and into a complete sphere as seen in the bottommost illustration inFIG. 3 . In other variations, the beanbag 300 may be conformed into any desired shape by filling the beanbag 300 with an appropriate amount of equipment, physically repositioning the equipment within the beanbag 300, and physically manipulating the walls of the beanbag 300 into the desired shape.
