Abstract

A fully functional carry-all backpack or bag that comprises a full sized backpack or bag with main carrying compartment or open cavity that can safely store personal items of various size with sealable pockets, either external or internal, small or large, useful for securing the storage of additional personal items, a pair of drawstrings or shoulder straps that are attached to the backpack or bag for the purpose of carrying the apparatus either on one's shoulder or back, a material that is comfortable to lie, sit or repose upon, suitable for use on multiple surfaces, including sand, and which is also machine-washable, and a pair of zippers on both sides of the apparatus that maintain the integrity and structure of the carry-all backpack or bag.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A fully functional carry-all backpack or bag, comprising:
 a full sized backpack or bag with main carrying compartment or open cavity that can safely store personal items of various size;   sealable pockets, either external or internal, small or large, useful for securing the storage of additional personal items;   a pair of drawstrings or shoulder straps that are attached to the backpack or bag for the purpose of carrying the apparatus either on one's shoulder or back;   a material that is comfortable to lie, sit or repose upon, suitable for use on multiple surfaces, including sand, and which is also machine-washable; and   a pair of zippers on both sides of the apparatus that maintain the integrity and structure of the carry-all backpack or bag but allow the apparatus to further unfold.   
     
     
         2 . The fully functional carry-all backpack or bag of  claim 1 , wherein the backpack or bag is combined with the functionality of a full-sized comfortable blanket, where both are made from the same material;
 not to be confused with an apparatus that offers the functionality of just a backpack or bag;   not to be confused with an apparatus that offers the functionality of just a blanket;   not to be confused with an apparatus that offers the convenience of a blanket as stated along with a functional way for said blanket to be rolled up and carried over the shoulder on the back or through any other method of conveyance;   not to be confused with a backpack or bag that has a blanket integrally attached to said backpack or bag that can then be deployed; and   not to be confused with a backpack or bag that has a blanket that only unfolds vertically and doesn't add extra width to the blanket through additional unfolds and extensions of the fabric in a horizontal direction.   
     
     
         3 . The fully functional carry-all backpack or bag of  claim 2 , further comprising using a functionality to maintain the integrity and structure of the carry-all backpack or bag through the use of:
 zippers that extends from top to bottom going down both sides of the backpack or bag that allow the apparatus to stay closed and functional, but also to open and unfold into the blanket; and   a functionality not to be limited to the use of solely a zipper as described for maintaining integrity of structure of the backpack or bag as those well schooled in the arts of design and manufacturing may be able to replicate the same functionality and structure using fasteners, Velcro™, buckles, buttons, snaps or other tools and resources.   
     
     
         4 . The fully functional carry-all backpack or bag of  claim 1 , wherein a functionality, such as a zipper, is utilized to allow for sealable pockets for storing personal items securely:
 not to be limited to the use of solely a zipper for closing and sealing pockets as those well schooled in the arts of design and manufacturing may be able to replicate the same functionality and structure using fasteners, Velcro™, buckles, buttons, snaps and other tools and resources; and   not to be restricted to the number, size or positions of the sealable pockets.   
     
     
         5 . A full-sized blanket, comprising:
 an elongated and extended, generally rectangular or square fabric piece that when flat defines the extent of the blanket;   wherein the blanket is created by unfolding a backpack or bag and extending the fabric in both vertical and horizontal directions;   wherein the blanket is not withdrawn nor pulled from within the backpack or bag, nor is it a separate item that is integrally attached to the backpack or bag;   a blanket that can easily accommodate one average-sized reposing adult, or multiple average-sized adults while seated;   wherein said blanket has accessible, sealable pockets for use of storing personal items when it lies flat on a surface; and   wherein said blanket is comfortable to sit or repose upon, and manufactured using either one or two layers of fabric and either contains a layer of padding between the fabric or does not.   
     
     
         6 . The full-sized blanket of  claim 5 , wherein the blanket is combined with the functionality of the backpack or bag, where both are made from the same material;
 not to be confused with an apparatus that offers the functionality of just a backpack or bag;   not to be confused with an apparatus that offers the functionality of just a blanket;   not to be confused with an apparatus that offers the convenience of a blanket as stated along with a functional way for said blanket to be rolled up and carried over the shoulder on the back or through any other method of conveyance;   not to be confused with a backpack or bag that has a blanket integrally attached to said backpack or bag that can then be deployed; and   
       not to be confused with a backpack or bag that has a blanket that only unfolds vertically and doesn't add extra width to the blanket through additional unfolds and extensions of the fabric in a horizontal direction. 
     
     
         7 . The full-sized blanket of  claim 6 , further comprising using a functionality to maintain the integrity and structure of the backpack or bag through the use of:
 zippers that extends from top to bottom going down both sides of the backpack or bag, that allow the apparatus to stay closed and functional, but also to open and unfold into the blanket; and   a functionality not to be limited to the use of solely a zipper as described for maintaining integrity of structure of the backpack or bag as those well schooled in the arts of design and manufacturing may be able to replicate the same functionality and structure using fasteners, Velcro™, buckles, buttons, snaps or other tools and resources.   
     
     
         8 . The full-sized blanket of  claim 5 , wherein a functionality, such as a zipper, is utilized to allow for sealable pockets for storing personal items securely:
 not to be limited to the use of solely a zipper for closing and sealing pockets as those well schooled in the arts of design and manufacturing may be able to replicate the same functionality and structure using fasteners, Velcro™, buckles, buttons, snaps and other tools and resources; and   not to be restricted to the number, size or positions of the sealable pockets.
