Abstract
A carrier having a major interior storage compartment and a series of smaller pouches attached thereto in juxtaposition to establish a symbol or character.
Description
- With the proliferation of personal hand held electronic devices such as “smart phones,” electronic music players, electronic tablets, and the like, there has been a need to protect the various devices in a unique and attractive manner, preferably independently and in one carrier. An improved carrier for multiple small devices or the like is disclosed herein which includes a large major storage space for items such as “tablet-sized” devices and a series of selectively removable pouches for smaller devices. The pouches are arranged to establish a recognizable character or symbol.
- Photographer's vests have been developed for carrying small photographic equipment, batteries, film, and the like. However, such vests have not provided removable pouches which cooperatively define a recognizable character or symbol.
- While individual small cases for electronic devices are well known, as are removable sundry pouches for backpacks and other carriers, the present invention provides an aesthetic solution for independently protecting and carrying multiple electronic devices.
- Briefly, the carrier of the invention includes a main or major carrier portion in the form of a briefcase, satchel, or backpack which may be opened and closed by a zipper to provide selective access to the interior into which a tablet and other gear may be stowed.
- On an exterior wall of the major portion, a series of shaped, abutting miniaturized pouches are selectively attached by cooperating hooked/looped (Velcro®) fastening strips. Each pouch is specifically shaped to form a fractional part of a symbol or character. For example, for a cartoon character having a particular physiognomy, the uppermost pouch would have a specific head/ear(s) shape; a central pouch would have a specific torso shape; and the lowermost pouch would be feet-shaped. When abutted, the pouches would establish a three-dimensional shape. Importantly, each pouch contains a zipper closure for providing selective access to its interior for storing a small electronic device.
- For a more complete understanding of the present invention and a better appreciation of its attendant advantages, reference should be made to the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the drawings.
-
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the new carrier case with a major portion and multiple annexed pouches forming a sculptured figure; -
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the carrier case showing fastening strips for the removable pouches; -
FIGS. 3 , 4, and 5 are front perspective views of the topmost, central, and lowermost pouches; and -
FIGS. 6 , 7 and 8 are rear perspective views of the topmost, central, and lowermost pouches. - Referring to
FIG. 1 , the carrying case 10 of the present invention includes a major carrier 11, such as a briefcase, school book bag, or small backpack, an adjustable carryingstrap 12 connected by spring clips 15 torings 13 disposed intabs 14 sewn to the top of the carrier. The carrier 11 hasfront wall 20,rear wall 21, and a circumscribing wall therebetween, with a top wall portion 16,bottom wall portion 17, and oppositeside wall portions 18. Access to the interior of the carrier 11 may be had by azipper 22 in the wall. - In accordance with the invention,
individual miniature pouches front wall 20 through hooked/looped (Velcro®)fastening tape strips 31, 41, and 51 (FIG. 2 ) sewn or adhesively secured thereto and correspondingfastening tape strips pouches FIG. 8 ). - More specifically, each of the
pouches circumscribing side wall front walls rear walls openable zipper closure - In accordance with the principles of the invention, the
pouches symbol 60 such as a “mouse” character by way of illustration. - To that end, each of the
pouches symbol 60. For example, thewalls 33 form “mouse feet,” and thewalls 45 form a “mouse torso.” The wall portions of eachpouch pouch 30; the top and bottom ofpouch 40; the top of pouch 50) are congruent as illustrated inFIG. 1 . They are all horizontal planes in the illustrated example). The pouches may bear graphic material G (bow; polka dots; shoes) contributing to the ultimate symbol or character formed when the pouches are attached in juxtaposition. - Thus, it will be understood and appreciated that a new carrier is provided which is especially adapted and useful for storing n electronic tablet and other relatively large items in the major storage space 11 and for storing a series of smaller electronic devices or items in selectively removable pouches. In addition to being readily separable for independent usage, the
pouches - It should be understood, of course, that the specific form of the invention herein illustrated and described is intended to be representative only, as certain changes may be made therein without departing from the clear teachings of the disclosure. Accordingly, reference should be made to the following appended claims in determining the full scope of the invention.
