Definitions

  • the invention provides a first-aid kit system having an exterior physical form of sports equipment.
  • the physical form of the first-aid kit promotes carrying the system with similarly shaped sports equipment or other sports equipment thereby promoting carrying the kit, as well as, by virtue of its unique shape, making it more visually apparent and, hence, more easily located in the event of the kit being required for its intended use.
  • First-aid kits are well known in various physical forms for use in association with different activities and by different people and/or professions.
  • first-aid kits With respect to the use of first-aid kits, it is of primary importance that first-aid kits be readily-accessible in order that the contents can be used for treatment as quickly as possible.
  • first-aid kits By virtue of the different people using first-aid kits (non-medically trained and trained medical personnel), the number of different activities carried on by different people, there is a need for first-aid kits to be developed in many different forms specific to the anticipated user of the kit and the activity that the kit might be associated with. Accordingly, variations in design accommodate differences in the desired contents and the mode of use of the kit.
  • first-aid kits may be specific to automobile use, home use, professional use, to specific facilities, etc., with the use determining both the physical shape or volume of the kit as well as the contents.
  • First-aid kits are best known in the form of a white box with a red cross marking.
  • the white box in combination with the red cross assists in the identification of the box as a first- aid kit with the white colour generally providing ready identification of the box and the red cross providing a recognized symbol that describes the contents of the kit.
  • kits which may or may not include the red-cross marking.
  • Such designs may include soft- shelled kits which are designed primarily for use where it is important that the physical volume of the kit is minimized such as for travel or backpacking/camping use or kits having various functionalities with respect to the interior or exterior of the kit.
  • Such functionality may include how the contents are organized as disclosed in US patent 5,931,304 and/or carried as in US Patent 4,513,866 and US Patent 3,227,867.
  • Such carrying systems include various containers in the form of sports equipment including a football tote bag, as disclosed in US Design Patent 335,956 and US Design Patent 394,348, a football helmet, as in US Design Patent 406,461 , a baseball tote bag as in US Design Patent
  • a team's equipment include a first-aid kit. Furthermore, it is desirable that the first-aid kit can be conveniently transported with the team equipment in order to assist with the primary objective of having first-aid equipment readily accessible in the event that it is required.
  • a first-aid kit is readily recognized as a first- aid kit in order that individuals who may not be the owners of the kit, but who may be users of the kit, will understand that the container is a first-aid kit.
  • a sports team's equipment will include numerous balls or bats, such as soccer balls, footballs or baseball bats which are usually or often carried in a large netted or reinforced cloth bag to the field of play.
  • This equipment bag is usually left at the side of the field in order that the players and coaches can readily access its contents for playing, training or warm-up purposes.
  • First-aid kits in the form of the standard white box may be included in the sports bag for ease of transport or accessibility.
  • the white box being of a different physical form to the balls or bats normally carried within the bag and that it may interfere with the use of the equipment, the first-aid kit is often separated from the bag by players or coaches.
  • standard first-aid kits may become lost or misplaced and, thereby, not available when needed.
  • a first-aid system comprising a container and lid system having the general physical form of a piece of sports equipment, the container having an interior for containing and storing first-aid equipment, the lid system for operative engagement with the container and for accessing the interior, the container and lid system also having an exterior surface with at least one marking identifying the first-aid system as a first-aid system.
