Definitions

  • the present invention relates to novel umbrella carrying accessories. More particularly, the invention relates to umbrella bags that facilitate carrying dry or wet umbrellas without wetting the umbrella surroundings keeping the user’s hands free while carrying the umbrella around.
  • Umbrellas are commonly carried by hand limiting the users’ ability to use both hands for anything they might need to do
  • many stores and other facilities provide plastic bags at their entrance allowing customers to take wet umbrellas inside without wetting the floor to avoid risking slip and fall accidents.
  • these plastic bags have some drawbacks. In some instances, the plastic bags break resulting in water spillage and the increased risk of slip and fall accidents. Additionally, these plastic bags must be carried by hand. This leads to the users having to put the plastic bag with the wet umbrella somewhere to be able to use their two hands, with the risk of forgetting the umbrella at the place it was put and therefore losing it.
  • the present invention comprises a bag capable of holding a dry or wet umbrella with no risk of water spillage while the user carries the bag keeping both hands free, avoiding the need to put the bag with the umbrella elsewhere.
  • the bag includes two sleeves: an inner sleeve with a collector that stores the water drained by a wet umbrella, and an outer sleeve that supports the straps to carry the bag with the umbrella.
  • the inner sleeve can be turned inside out to facilitate drying, and one of the straps attached to the outer sleeve can be adjusted in length and positioned in two different configurations so that the bag can be carried in several different ways by the user.

  • An important version of the invention can be fairly described as an umbrella bag for holding, carrying and storing an umbrella comprising, among other features, an outer sleeve, an inner sleeve, a collector and a strap
  • the outer sleeve has an open first end, a closed second end and a tubular medial segment between the ends of the outer sleeve.
  • the inner sleeve has an open first end, a closed second end and a tubular medial segment between the ends of the inner sleeve.
  • the inner sleeve and the outer sleeve are substantially the same length.
  • the inner sleeve may be slightly shorter so that it can fit inside the outer sleeve.
  • the inner sleeve is dimensioned to contain a preselected closed umbrella, such as a common rain umbrella.
  • a collar is affixed to the outer sleeve first end and the collar maintains the outer sleeve first end substantially circularly open, so the interior of the inner sleeve is accessible for placement of the umbrella.
  • the inner sleeve first end is affixed to the outer sleeve first end.
  • the inner sleeve is disposed within the outer sleeve, being essentially a liner for the outer sleeve.
  • the inner sleeve is water-resistant to contain the moisture of the wet umbrella.
  • a first attachment point (for example a D ring or clip point) is affixed to an exterior of the outer sleeve first end at a back side.
  • a second attachment point is affixed to the exterior of the outer sleeve first end at a front side.
  • a third attachment point is affixed to an exterior of the outer sleeve second end at a back side.
  • a first end of the strap connects to the first attachment point and a second end of the strap selectively connects to any one of: the second attachment point or the third attachment point.
  • both the first end and the second end of the strap connect to a single attachment point near the open end of the outer sleeve.
  • the collector has an interior volume bounded by an open first end and a closed second end. Generally, the collector can hold a volume of water shed from a wet umbrella inside the device.
  • the collector is attached to the second end of the inner sleeve
  • the closed umbrella having a canopy between a tip end and a handle end wherein the tip end of the closed umbrella is inserted through the collar and into the inner sleeve and the tip end is seated into a guide affixed inside the collector concentric with the collector and the canopy is entirely within the inner sleeve.
  • the guide includes one or more vents to aid evaporation of moisture in the collector.
  • the outer sleeve is water-resistant or waterproof to keep moisture from the umbrella inside the inner sleeve and thereby keeping the user dry.
  • the strap has an adjustable length.
  • an invention such as the Umbrella Bag with Water Collector, in any of its encompassed iterations, is desirable because it allows a person to safely store and transport a wet umbrella without wetting the user’s clothes or dry environment. Further, the device is inexpensive to manufacture and maintain while being economical to operate.
