Laundry Bag Assembly

Abstract

A laundry bag assembly comprises a means for attaching to a dryer opening. Said assembly can comprise a bag, a body attached to said bag, and a mechanism for engaging a dryer opening. One or more telescoping arm members, hingeably movable arm members, or arm members comprising a hook portion, or flexible arm members may facilitate attachment to a dryer opening. Further, a portion of the bag may comprise a rigid or semi-rigid material.

1 . A laundry bag assembly comprising:
 a body comprising at least two independent arm members, where at least one of said arm members is a telescoping arm member; and   a bag attached to said body, said bag comprising an opening and an opening lip;   wherein said at least two independent arm members are received in an opening defined by a portion of said body, and   wherein two independent arm members of said assembly extend away from interior of the body, each arm member extending out independently of, and in an opposite direction with respect to, the other arm member.   
     
     
         2 . The assembly of  claim 1 , comprising two arm members which independently telescope away from the interior of the body in an opposite direction with respect to each other. 
     
     
         3 . The assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the arm members extend in a direction generally parallel to the radial plane defined by the bag opening. 
     
     
         4 . The assembly of  claim 3 , wherein a ring formed from a rigid or semi-rigid material is incorporated into the opening lip. 
     
     
         5 . The assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the body comprises at least one stationary arm member and at least one telescoping arm member. 
     
     
         6 . The assembly of  claim 4 , wherein the ring comprises a flat side. 
     
     
         7 . A laundry bag assembly comprising:
 a body comprising at least two hingeably connected arm members; and   a bag directly attached to said body, said bag comprising an opening and an opening lip,   wherein both arm members are capable of independently folding toward and away from the central portion of the body, and   wherein said at least two arm members rotate to about 180 degrees with respect to each other in the fully extended position.   
     
     
         8 . The assembly of  claim 7 , wherein the arm members fold along a plane generally parallel to the radial plane defined by the bag opening. 
     
     
         9 . The assembly of  claim 8 , wherein wherein a ring formed from a rigid or semi-rigid material is incorporated into the opening lip. 
     
     
         10 . The assembly of  claim 7 , wherein the body comprises two arm members that are hingeably connected to each other. 
     
     
         11 . The assembly of  claim 7 , wherein the body comprises two arm members that are hingeably and separately connected to a central body portion. 
     
     
         12 . The assembly of  claim 7 , wherein said bag is attached to each arm member at a proximal distance from the arm hinge. 
     
     
         13 . The assembly of  claim 9 , wherein the ring comprises a flat side. 
     
     
         14 . A laundry bag assembly comprising:
 A body comprising at least two flexible arm members said arm members located at opposite distal ends of said body; and   a bag attached to said body, said bag comprising an opening and an opening lip;   wherein each arm member extends away from central portion of the body in an opposite direction with respect to the other arm member.   
     
     
         15 . The assembly of  claim 14 , wherein the arm members flex along a plane generally parallel to the radial plane defined by the bag opening. 
     
     
         16 . The assembly of  claim 14 , wherein the body and the arm members are a single continuous piece. 
     
     
         17 . The assembly of  claim 14 , wherein the entire body is flexible. 
     
     
         18 . The assembly of  claim 14 , wherein only the arm portion of the body is flexible. 
     
     
         19 . The assembly of  claim 15 , wherein a ring formed from a rigid or semi-rigid material is incorporated into the opening lip. 
     
     
         20 . The assembly of  claim 19 , wherein the ring comprises a flat side.
