Quick formable tote bag

Abstract

A quick formable tote bag includes a retainer and a fabric substrate having a length of between about two feet to six feet and a width between about two feet and six feet, and having a first plurality of grommets spaced apart along a perimeter of a first side of the fabric substrate, a second plurality of grommets spaced apart along a perimeter of a second side the fabric substrate, wherein the first plurality of grommets are removably disposed adjacent one another to receive the retaining member and has a first end disposed therethrough and the second plurality of grommets are removably disposed adjacent one another to receive a second end of the retaining member disposed therethrough, and when so disposed causes the fabric substrate to form a tote bag.

1 . A quick formable tote bag, which includes:
 a retainer having first end and a second end; and   a fabric substrate having a length of between about two feet to six feet and a width between about two feet and six feet, and having a first plurality of grommets spaced apart along a perimeter of a first side of said fabric substrate, a second plurality of grommets spaced apart along a perimeter of a second side the fabric substrate, wherein the first plurality of grommets are removably disposed adjacent one another to receive the retaining member therethrough and have a first end of the retaining member disposed therethrough, and the second plurality of grommets are removably disposed adjacent one another to receive a second end of said retaining member disposed therethrough, and when so disposed causing said fabric substrate to form said tote bag.   
     
     
         2 . The quick formable tote bag of  claim 1 , wherein said retaining member has said first end articulated to said second end such that said ends can be moved from a co-axial oriented position to a non-coaxial oriented position and when inserted through said grommets and in said non-coaxial oriented position serve to positionally retain said grommets within a fixed spaced relation and in turn maintain said tote in a geometric bag shape. 
     
     
         3 . The quick formable tote bag of  claim 1 , wherein said first end has an enlarged portion. 
     
     
         4 . The quick formable tote bag of  claim 3 , wherein said second end as an enlarged portion. 
     
     
         5 . The quick formable tote bag of  claim 1 , wherein said fabric substrate includes one of a woven and non-woven material. 
     
     
         6 . The quick formable tote bag of  claim 1 , wherein said fabric substrate includes a thermoplastic rubber penetrating and encapsulating said one of said woven and non-woven material. 
     
     
         7 . The quick formable tote bag of  claim 1 , wherein said fabric substrate is die sublimated with a graphic image. 
     
     
         8 . A quick formable tote bag, which includes:
 a retainer having first end and a second end; and   a fabric substrate having a length of less than about an arm span length and a width of less than about an arm span length, and having a first plurality of grommets spaced apart along a perimeter of a first side of said fabric substrate, a second plurality of grommets spaced apart along a perimeter of a second side the fabric substrate, wherein the first plurality of grommets are removably disposed adjacent one another to receive the retaining member therethrough and have a first end of the retaining member disposed therethrough, and the second plurality of grommets are removably disposed adjacent one another to receive a second end of said retaining member disposed therethrough, and when so disposed causing said fabric substrate to form said tote bag.   
     
     
         9 . The quick formable tote bag of  claim 8 , wherein said retaining member has said first end articulated to said second end such that said ends can be moved from a co-axial oriented position to a non-coaxial oriented position and when inserted through said grommets and in said non-coaxial oriented position serve to positionally retain said grommets within a fixed spaced relation and in turn maintain said tote in a geometric bag shape. 
     
     
         10 . The quick formable tote bag of  claim 8 , wherein said first end has an enlarged portion. 
     
     
         11 . The quick formable tote bag of  claim 10 , wherein said second end as an enlarged portion. 
     
     
         12 . The quick formable tote bag of  claim 8 , wherein said fabric substrate includes one of a woven and non-woven material. 
     
     
         13 . The quick formable tote bag of  claim 12 , wherein said fabric substrate includes a thermoplastic rubber penetrating and encapsulating said one of said woven and non-woven material. 
     
     
         14 . The quick formable tote bag of  claim 8 , wherein said fabric substrate is die sublimated with a graphic image.
