Apparatus for carrying an article
Abstract
The present invention is an apparatus for substantially containing an article, that includes a surrounding sidewall having a first end portion and a second end portion, wherein the first end portion forms a closure, with the sidewall defining an interior between the first end portion and the second end portion, wherein the interior is operational to selectively substantially contain the article. Further, the apparatus for substantially containing an article also includes an enclosure adjacent to the second end portion, wherein operationally the surrounding sidewall can be selectably disposed within the enclosure for stowage upon removal of the article from the interior.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 . An apparatus for substantially containing an article, compromising:

8 . An apparatus for substantially containing an article according to claim 7 wherein said enclosure is sized and configured to also accommodate stowing said open loop.
9 . An apparatus for substantially containing an article according to claim 7 wherein said open loop is sized and configured to removably engage a handle, said handle sized and configured to accommodate a plurality of open loops, allowing operationally a plurality of apparatuses to substantially contain a plurality of articles with the user only grasping said handle.
10 . An apparatus for substantially containing an article according to claim 9 wherein said handle is a carabiner type ring.
11 . An apparatus for substantially containing an article, compromising:
(a) a first substantially flexible panel including a first end portion, an opposing second end portion to said first end portion, a third end portion, and an opposing fourth end portion to said third end portion; (b) a second substantially flexible panel that is substantially parallel, matched, and adjacent to said first substantially flexible panel, said second substantially flexible panel is affixed to said first panel along said first, second, and third end portions, said first and second panels defining an interior environment therebetween, and an opening adjacent to said fourth end portion, said opening communicating between said interior environment and an exterior environment to facilitate the article to be selectively substantially disposed within said interior environment; (c) a flexible open loop extending from a portion of said opening to an opposing portion of said opening, wherein operationally a user grasps a portion of said open loop; and (d) a pouch having a passageway, wherein said passageway is disposed adjacent to said fourth end portion, wherein operationally said first panel, said second panel, and said flexible open loop are all selectively manually disposed within said pouch communicating though said passageway for stowage of said apparatus with the article selectively removed from said interior environment.
12 . An apparatus for substantially containing an article according to claim 11 wherein a portion of said passageway is affixed to a portion of said fourth end portion.
13 . An apparatus for substantially containing an article according to claim 12 wherein said passageway further comprises a means for manually selectively placing said passageway in a substantially closed or open state.
14 . An apparatus for substantially containing an article according to claim 13 wherein said means for manually selectively placing said passageway in said substantially closed or open state is a drawstring type closure.
15 . An apparatus for substantially containing an article according to claim 14 wherein said first substantially flexible panel, said second substantially flexible panel, said flexible open loop, and said pouch are all constructed of a poly-nylon fabric.
16 . An apparatus for substantially containing an article according to claim 15 wherein said poly-nylon fabric is a 70 denier poly-nylon material.
17 . An apparatus for substantially containing an article according to claim 16 wherein said flexible open loop is sized and configured to removably engage a handle, said handle sized and configured to accommodate a plurality of open loops, allowing operationally a plurality of apparatuses to substantially contain a plurality of articles with a user only grasping said handle.
18 . An apparatus for substantially containing an article according to claim 17 wherein said handle is a carabiner type ring.
19 . An apparatus for containing an article according to claim 16 wherein an indicia space is disposed on said first substantially flexible panel.
20 . A kit for carrying a plurality of apparatuses for substantially containing a plurality of articles, compromising:
(a) a plurality of apparatuses wherein each apparatus that substantially contains at least one article includes a first substantially flexible panel including a first end portion, an opposing second end portion to said first end portion, a third end portion, and an opposing fourth end portion to said third end portion, a second substantially flexible panel that is substantially parallel, matched, and adjacent to said first substantially flexible panel, said second substantially flexible panel is affixed to said first panel along said first, second, and third end portions, said first and second panels defining an interior environment therebetween, and an opening adjacent to said fourth end portion, said opening communicating between said interior environment and an exterior environment to facilitate the article to be selectively substantially disposed within said interior environment, a flexible open loop extending from a portion of said opening to an opposing portion of said opening, wherein operationally a user grasps a portion of said open loop, and a pouch having a passageway, wherein said passageway is disposed adjacent to said fourth end portion, wherein operationally said first panel, said second panel, and said flexible open loop are all selectively manually disposed within said pouch communicating though said passageway for stowage of said apparatus with the article selectively removed from said interior environment, wherein said first substantially flexible panel, said second substantially flexible panel, said flexible open loop, and said pouch are all constructed of a 70 denier poly-nylon material; (b) a carabiner type ring that is sized and configured to removably engage a plurality of open loops, allowing operationally said plurality of apparatuses to substantially contain the plurality of articles with a user only grasping said carabiner type ring; and (c) a set of instructions for stowing each said apparatus into each said pouch and for removably engaging said carabiner type ring to said plurality of open loops.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
