Abstract

A bag 1 comprises a closure arrangement 101, 102 for providing access to the bag body 10, and first and second shoulder strap anchor points 20, 30 which are spaced apart proximate to the outer perimeter of the bag body 10. The location of the first and second shoulder strap anchor points 20, 30 enable the bag 1 to be worn on the hip towards the front of the wearerâ s body. The first strap anchor point 20 is positioned towards an upper position of the bag body 10 and forward of the closure arrangement 101, 102. This positioning means that the main opening section of the bag 1 is protected from thieves, as the zip pullers/closers are hidden from view and the bag cannot be freely accessed. Also, having one fixing point at the top and front 20, and one at the rear and side 30, means that the bag 1 counterbalances when loaded and fits snugly around the hips.

Description

Improved Carry Bag The present invention relates to a carry bag, specifically, but not exclusively which comprises a single cross body shoulder strap, wherein strap attachment points are positioned so that the carry bag sits against the body ergonomically and wherein one strap attachment point covers the main zip, improving security.

The use of a small carry bags for carrying personal items and the like is a common occurrence. Also known are back packs that are used to carry items on a wearer's back. The advantages of back packs are easy to see, they allow a wearer to carry a number of small items and clothing on a back whilst leaving their hands and arms free to do other things. Small back packs are particularly popular with school children, for carrying books to school etc, especially if cycling and with tourists, as it allows the tourist to carry a map in their hands, or to hold a camera, for example.

However, the main downsides of a small back pack are also well known, they suffer from security, access and wear ability issues. For example! backpacks used by tourists and the like are commonly broken into by using sharp knives that are used to cut the soft material at the bottom of the bag and then the heavier items simply drop out into the hands of the thief. Thieves can also simply unzip the pockets of the bag from behind a wearer, when standing on a crowded subway train, for example and steal the articles from the bag.

Back packs are also inconvenient, for example when used sightseeing in a city and where the wearer needs to constantly gain access to get purselwallet or travel map out of the bag. This involves taking the back pack off the wearer's back and placing it on the floor whilst the items are accessed. Commonly you will see wearers holding the bag in one hand whilst the other hand is used to retrieve the wanted article from the bottom of the bag.

Therefore, it has been found that wearers either wear a back pack back-to4ront, with the main body of the back pack on their front for easy access and increased security reasons. However, this is cumbersome, heavy and bad for the bacL Alternatively, they use one of the two straps of the bag and hook the bag over one shoulder, but again, this is cumbersome and heavy and the wearer usually has to keep one hand on the back pack shoulder strap being used in order to keep the pack on the shoulder, due to the off-centre weight distribution. This is especially an issue when the bag is fully loaded.

Cross body shoulder bags are also used to carry small items around the body.

They typically include a single shoulder strap for placement over either shoulder of an individual carrying the bag. However, these types of bags still suffer from comfort problems when they become larger than a very small size, as they put a large amount of weight through a single shoulder and become heavy to wear after a while. As such, various types of shoulder straps and shoulder strap attachment mechanisms have been developed which are generally curved and padded, so as to accommodate the shoulder of a person in a comfortable manner regardless of the placement of the strap on either shoulder.

For example, patent document FR2828073A appears to refer to a strap system for a bag where a strap may pass through a sleeve that fits over the shoulder and may be attached to a cFoth support to which the bag is attached. The strap system for a bag comprises a roller, around which one end of the strap is wound. The strap passes through a sleeve which fits over the shoulder and through loops, forming a 7-shape. The loops are attached to a cloth support, to which the bag is also attached, and the end of the strap is pulled to lengthen it.

However, this solution is very much focussed on the ability to adjust the length of the strap whilst the bag is being worn.

Also US2008169325A appears to disclose a versatile multi use bag which can be configured to serve as a shoulder-side or frontal suspended carrying bag, or as a neck suspended carrying bag or as a rucksack. The bag being a multi-compartment carrying bag and rucksack, comprising a multi-compartment openable body to contain whatever items are to be transported by the user, an extended-length strap with means at both ends thereof whereby the strap can be releasabFy anchored to the body of the bag. A tunnel-like portion attached proximate to an edge of the body wherethrough the strap can be inserted; and at least two spaced-apart anchor points positioned proximate to the outer perimeter of the body whereto the strap ends may be releasably attached.

However, this solution is aimed at providing a versatile bag, as the bag and strap can be arranged in a number of ways.

Also, US2009050246A discloses including a main or lower first generally rectangular pouch generally in the form of a purse with a top side having an auxiliary pouch extending upwardly therefrom. The auxiliary pouch has an opening to the back side of the pouch. Openings to the main pouch are provided through the top. A support strap extends from the back side of the main pouch and connects through swivel connections and a connecting strap to the top side of the auxiliary pouch so that the shoulder bag may be positioned on either side of an individual and fitted against the right or left hip of the individual in a comfortabLe manner.

However, this solution is directed to providing the ability to wear the bag either on the left or right hand hip.

However none of these prior art bags address the issue of security and ergonomics of the bag position on the hips and as such, still suffer from some of the problems highlighted above.

The present invention therefore seeks to provide a carry bag which overcomes, or at least reduces some of the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, Accordingly, in a first aspect, the invention provides a carry bag comprising a bag body having a closure arrangement for providing access the bag body; first and second shoulder strap anchor points which are spaced apart proximate to the outer perimeter of the bag body, with each shoulder strap anchor point capable of attachment to one end of a shoulder strap; wherein the location of the first and second shoulder strap anchor points enable the bag to be worn on the hip towards the front of the body in use; and wherein the first strap anchor point is positioned towards an upper position of the bag body and forward of the closure arrangement.

One embodiment of the invention will now be more fully described! by way of example1 with reference to the drawings, of which: Figure 1 shows a schematic diagram of a front view of a carry bag, according to one embodiment of the present invention; Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of a rear view of the carry bag of Figure 1; and Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of the carry bag of Figures 1 and 2 when being In a brief overview of one embodiment of the present invention, there is shown in Figure 1 a schematic diagram of the front view of a carry bag 1, comprising a main body portion 10, which can be accessed via a double zipper arrangement 100, which in this embodiment is a back to back, zipper arrangement comprising zips 101. 102. However, it should be clear to a person skilled in the art that a standard single zipper arrangement or other suitable closure mechanism could be used.

The main bag body 10 further comprises two shoulder strap attachment points, a front attachment point 20 and a side attachment point 30, which aliow a single shoulder strap 110 to be attached the main bag body 10 at its peripheial edges, such that the bag can be worn across the body. Wherein the side attachment point 30 is generally orientated at right angles to the front attachment point 20.

As can be seen in Figure 1, the front attachment point 20 is sewn into the top front seam of the main body of the bag 10 and as such, is located forward of the position of the double zipper arrangement 100. This positioning means that in use, the zippers 101, 102 can be located behind the tront attachment point 20 and as such, hidden from view/access by the front attachment point 20 (and this is best shown in Figure 3). Thus if a thief wishes to access the bag 1, they must get their hands behind this front attachment point 20, which in use would be located at the front of the wearer. In practice, therefore, this will be very difficult to do.

This particular positioning of the front attachment point 20 is counter-intuitive when compared with the prior art arrangements, where the strap attachment point is located towards the top/rear seam of the main body of the bag, and has been found to provide a good counterbalance to the weight of the bag.

Thus the particular positioning of the forwards location of the front attachment point 20 and the right angle orientation of the side attachment point 30, thus means the bag I is located on, and further better hugs, the front hip of the wearer, so access is easy and provides the benefit of counterbalancing the bag when fully loaded and as such, it fits snugly around the wearer's hips (see Figure 3).

The bag 1 of Figure 1 also comprises a number of useful pockets. There can be seen a first front pocket 50, which is closed by a first zip closure 75 (see Figure 2), as well as a double security closure flap 70, which is coupled to the base of the bag 1 by an adjustable closure mechanism 60, as well known in the art.

There can also be seen a second front pocket 85, which is accessible by a second zip closure 90 and which further comprises a third front pocket 80 accessible by a third zip closure 95.

The bag I also comprises at least one side, webbed pocket 40, which can be used for placing a drinking cup or mobile phone, for example.

The shoulder strap 110 is fixed to the two shoulder strap attachment points 20, by machine stitching, but it should be clear to someone skilled in the art that any suitable prior art method could be used such as rivets, poppers, buckles, clips, push hooks, for example.

The shoulder strap 110 can therefore be removable (and any prior art method attachment method used) and length is adjusted by use of a length adjustment mechanism 115, as known in the art. The shoulder strap 110 may further comprise a padded shoulder protector 120.

Also shown is Figure 1 is a top carry handle 130, such that the bag I can be carried by the user when off the shoulder. The top carry handle 130 may be made of plastic or strong materials, as known in the art of soft bags.

The comfort of the bag 1 of the invention is also improved by a large rear padded 140 area, which can be best seen in Figure 2.

Figure 2 shows a schematic diagram of the rear view of the carry bag, of Figure 1. There is shown the main body portion 10, which can be accessed via the double zipper arrangement 100, which in this embodiment is a back to back, zipper arrangement comprising zips 101, 102. As the bag is a soft bag, the double zipper arrangement 100 will usually be sewn into the material of the main bag body 10.

Although, not shown in either Figure 1 and/or Figure 2, there may be any number or arrangement of internal pockets inside the main bag body 10, for example central dividers, mobile phone pockets, pen pockets and clips for keys etc. The main bag body 10 itself may be formed from a number of cut paneEs, depending upon the specific arrangement of pockets and internal pockets, wherein each seam of each panel will be sewn together by machine stitching.

Piping, as known in the art may also be used to strengthen seam areas for a larger or more complex bag shape. The padded areas 140, 20, 30 & 120 may -10-be filled with foam. In the present embodiment, the outer fabrics will be one of nylon, polyester, microfibre or other soft fabrics. The Inner fabrics will be polyester or nylon.

The main bag body 10 also comprises the two shoulder strap attachment points, the front attachment point 20 and the side attachment point 30, which are sewn to the main bag body 10 again by machine stitching, although other methods could be used (see Figure 2).

As can be seen in Figure 2, the front attachment point 20 is located forward of the double zipper arrangement 100, such that in use and when in a closed position, the zippers 101, 102 can be located behind the front attachment point and as such, hidden from view by the front attachment point 20.

Thus the particular positioning of the forwards location of the front attachment point 20 and the right angle orientation of the side attachment point 30, provides the benefit of counterbalancing the bag 1 when fully loaded and as such, it fits snugly around the wearers hips.

As described previously with reference to Figure 1, the bag 1 also comprises a number of useful pockets. As such, there can be seen in Figure 2, the first front pocket 50, which is closed by the first zip closure 75, as well as the double security closure flap 70. There can also be seen a second front pocket 85, which is accessible by a second zip closure 90.

Either of these front pockets 50, 85 may also include other advantageous internal pocket features, such as pen holders, smaller internal zip pockets, mobile phone holders. small webbed areas, for example.

However, it should be clear to a person skilled in the art that any number and/or arrangement of external and/or internal pocket features and pocket closure arrangements can be used.

The shoulder strap 110 is fixed to the two shoulder strap attachment points 20! by stitching and its length is adjusted by use of a length adjustment mechanism 115, as known in the art. Alternatively, the shoulder strap 110 could be removable (and any prior art method attachment method used as described with reference to Figure 1).

The shoulder strap 110 may further comprise a padded shoulder protector 120 and the comfort of the bag I of the invention is also improved by a Large rear padded area 140. A line of machine stitching 150 is also shown in Figure 2, which is where the side shoulder strap attachment point 30 is attached to the rear padded area 140 at the side seam of the bag 1. The comfort of either the lop attachment point 20 and/or the side attachment point 30 can also be improved by using soft material lined with foam, which is similar to the construction of the rear foam padded area 140. The side attachment point 30 and the rear padded areas could be implemented as a single section.

Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of the carry bag 1 of Figures 1 and 2 when being worn by a person. There is shown a main body portion 10, which can be accessed via the double zipper arrangement 100.

As can be seen in Figure 3. the front attachment point 20 is located forward of the position of the double zipper arrangement 100, such that in use, the zippers 101, 102 (not shown) can be located behind the front attachment point 20 and as such, hidden from view/access by the front attachment point 20. Thus is a thief wishes to access the bag 1, they must get their hands behind this front attachment point 20, which as can be seen in Figure 3 is located at the front of the wearer. In practice, therefore, this will be very difficult to do.

This particular positioning of the front attachment point 20 is not only counter-intuitive when compared with the prior art arrangements, where the strap attachment point is located towards to roar of the bag 1, but has been found surprisingly to provide a good counterbalance to the weight of the bag 1 and thus as can be seen in Figure 3, the coupltng of the single shoulder strap 110 and two attachment points 20, 30 (the second attachment 30 not shown in the Figure) bring the bag 1 inwards to hug the body in a ergonomically better manner.

Thus the particular positioning of the forwards location of the front attachment point 20 and the right angle orientation of the side attachment point 30 (the second affachment 30 not shown in the Figure), thus means the bag 1 is located on the front hip of the wearer, so access is easy and provides the benefit of counterbalancing the bag 1 when fully loaded and as such, it fits snugly around the wearer's hips.

As mentioned above, the bag 1 of the present invention also comprises a number of useful pockets. There can be seen a first front pocket 50, which is closed by a first zip closure 75, as well as a double security closure flap 70, which is coupled to the base of the bag 1 by an adjustable closure mechanism 60, as well known in the art. There can also be seen a second front pocket 85, which is accessibe by a second zip closure 90 and which further comprises a third front pocket 80 accessible by a third zip closure 95.

However1 it should be clear to a person skilled in the art that any number and/or arrangement of pockets and pocket closure arrangements can be used.

The length of the shoulder strap 110 is adjusted by use of a length adjustment mechanism 115, as known in the art.

Thus the present invention provides at east, the foltowing advantageous features: 1) The fixing of the top strap attachment point to a seam at the front of the bag means that the main opening section of the bag is protected as the fixing point is positioned so that the zip pullers/closers are hidden and that the main section cannot be freely accessed. Prior art bags have their top strap attachment point attached to a seam at the rear of the bag.

2) Having the two fixing points at the top and front and at the rear and side means that the bag counterbalances when loaded and fits snugly around the hips. In prior art bags, the top strap fixing point is in the rear plane, usually attached to a seam at the rear of the bag and as such, the bag when loaded tips forward away from the body.

It will be appreciated that although only one particular embodiment of the invention has been described in detail, various modifications and improvements can be made by a person skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the present invention.
