Description
- This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 63/305,247, filed Jan. 31, 2022.
- In general, the present invention relates to the structure of carry bags, such as backpacks, book bags and handbags, that are carried by children and adults. More particularly, the present invention relates to carry bags with removable accessories that are designed to selectively attach to, and detach from, the carry bag.
- There are many types of carry bags that are carried by children and adults. For example, children often carry backpacks to school. Adults carry a wide variety of handbags, shoulder bags, satchels, and backpacks in many shapes and sizes. Since the carry bag is visible when carried, the carry bag has become subject to fashion. Accordingly, fashion-minded individuals want the carry bag itself to be fashionable and the carry bag must fit into the overall fashion ensemble of the individual carrying the bag. It is for this reason that fashion-minded individuals often match the carry bag with other accessories, such as a belt or a hair band.
- In order to match accessories with a carry bag, accessories that complement the carry bag must be located and purchased. This is not always a simple task. Many carry bags have complex fashion themes and/or color schemes. Accordingly, finding complementary accessories becomes difficult. This is especially true for children since the amount of fashionable accessories available in the children’s market is highly limited.
- The present invention is a carry bag system where fashion accessories are temporarily attached to the carry bag. The full assembly is then sold as a complete set. The fashion accessories remain visible when attached to the carry bag. However, the fashion accessories complement the fashion theme of the carry bag and appear to be design elements integrated into the carry bag. When the fashion accessories are removed from the carry bag, the fashion accessories can be worn by the owner of the bag. Since the fashion accessories are specifically designed to complement the fashion theme of the carry bag, the accessories and carry bag complete a fully fashion coordinated ensemble.
- The details of the present invention carry bag system are described and claimed below.
- The present invention is a fashion coordinated carry bag assembly that includes a main bag and a pocket extension. The pocket extension can be a separate smaller bag or an integrated extension of the main bag. The main bag and the pocket extension both have access openings. Straps are disposed at one or both of the access openings. The straps are used to secure fashion accessories to the carry bag assembly. The fashion accessories have decorative elements that remain visible when the fashion accessories are attached to the carry bad assembly. Accordingly, when the fashion accessories are attached to the carry bag assembly, the decorative elements appear to be part of the overall carry bag assembly.
- Other fashion accessories, such as belts, hair clips, hair bands and hats can also be attached to the carry bag assembly at different points. The fashion theme of the fashion accessories match that of the overall carry bag. Accordingly, each fashion accessory appears to be part of the carry bag when attached to the carry bag. When the fashion accessories are detached from the carry bag assembly, each fashion accessory can be worn separately, therein creating a fashion coordinated ensemble.
- For a better understanding of the present invention, reference is made to the following description of exemplary embodiments thereof, considered in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:
-
FIG. 1 shows an exploded view of a first exemplary embodiment of a carry bag assembly in accordance with the present invention; -
FIG. 2 shows an assembled view of the exemplary embodiment ofFIG. 1 ; -
FIG. 3 shows a second exemplary embodiment of a carry bag assembly; -
FIG. 4 shows a rear view of a third exemplary embodiment of a carry bag assembly; -
FIG. 5 shows a front view of the third exemplary embodiment ofFIG. 4 ; and -

Thecarry bag 12 hasexterior surfaces 16 that may contain graphics, designs, color schemes, and/or other features in a particular fashion theme. As will be explained, thecarry bag 12 is specifically designed to both hold and display one or more of thefashion accessories 14. Thefashion accessories 14 have the same fashion theme as thecarry bag 12 and/or complements the fashion theme of thecarry bag 12. Thefashion accessories 14 illustrated show aheadband 50 and adecorative belt 104. However, other fashion accessories, such as costume jewelry, hair clips, hats, and/or wrist bands can also be included. - The
carry bag 12 has amain bag 20 that defines a large compartment. Themain bag 20 has a front surface 22, arear surface 24, atop surface 28, a bottom surface 29, andside surfaces 26 join the front surface 22 to therear surface 24. Thetop surface 28 has an access opening 30 with a zipperedclosure 32 for selectively accessing themain bag 20. -
Shoulder straps 34 are attached to therear surface 24 of themain bag 20. In this manner, therear surface 24 of themain bag 20 will lay against a wearer’s back when theshoulder straps 34 are used to wear thecarry bag 12. - A
pocket extension 36 is provided on the front surface 22 of themain bag 20. Thepocket extension 36 is smaller than themain bag 20 and can be either attached to themain bag 20 or separate and distinct from themain bag 20. Thepocket extension 36 has afront surface 37 and atop surface 39. The presence of thetop surface 39 on thepocket extension 36 forms aledge 38 where thetop surface 39 meets the front surface 22 of themain bag 20. An access opening 41 is formed in thetop surface 39 of thepocket extension 36. Theaccess opening 41 provides access to theinterior compartment 42 within thepocket extension 36. The access opening 41 can be an open slot or can contain a closure, such as thezipper closure 43 illustrated. - Two retention straps 40 are contained within the

Likewise, eachretention strap 40 has afree end 46 that includes a snap or other mechanical fastener 48.Mating fasteners 49 are mounted within theinterior compartment 42. In this manner, the free ends 46 of the retention straps 40 can be connected to themating fasteners 49. This forms the retention straps 40 into loops that can be large enough to extend out of thepocket extension 36. - The
fashion accessories 14 include one or more headbands 50. Theheadbands 50 have a curved band ofplastic 52 anddecorative elements 54. The curved band of plastic 52 can stretch to some degree so that theheadband 50 can be comfortably worn on a wearer’s head. The access opening 41 on thetop surface 39 of thepocket extension 36 is sized to accommodate the curved band ofplastic 52 on theheadband 50. The curved band ofplastic 52 extends into thepocket extension 36 while the fashion features remain outside thepocket extension 36. In this position, thedecorative elements 54 appear to be part of thetop surface 39 of thepocket extension 36. The retention straps 40 hold theheadband 50 in this position and prevent theheadband 50 from inadvertently falling out of thepocket extension 36. The retention straps 40 pass around theheadband 50 and the free ends 46 of the retention straps 40 are connected to themating fasteners 49 inside thepocket extension 36. To remove theheadband 50, a user detaches the free ends 46 of the retention straps 40 to free theheadband 50. The curved band ofplastic 52 is then pulled out of thepocket extension 36. - In the embodiment of
FIG. 1 andFIG. 2 , both ends 44, 46 of theretention strap 40 are attached inside thepocket extension 36. However, this need not be the case. Referring toFIG. 3 , an alternate embodiment of anassembly 60 is shown that has adifferent pocket extension 62. In thisassembly 60, thepocket extension 62 has an open top 64. The open top 64 can be prevented from fully opening by the use of two retention straps 66. In thisassembly 60, the retention straps 66 are decorative and are made from the same material as is thepocket extension 62. Eachretention strap 66 has a first end (not shown) that is sewn into place. A secondfree end 68 can extend beyond the open top 64 and can overlap thefront surface 69 of thepocket extension 62. The free ends 68 can selectively attach to thefront surface 69 of thepocket extension 62 withmechanical fasteners 67. The retention straps 66 can be looped over theheadband 50, therein holding or retaining theheadband 50 in thepocket extension 62. - The use of the retention straps to hold a headband within a pocket extension can also be used to attach a
headband 50 to a slot pocket. Referring toFIG. 4 , anassembly 70 is shown where acarry bag 72 has afront surface 74 and arear surface 76. Therear surface 76 is essentially flat. Apocket 78 is provided on therear surface 76. Thepocket 78 is flat and is accessible through aslot opening 80. Thepocket 78 can be opened wide enough to receive the curved band of plastic 52 from theheadband 50. Retention straps 82 are provided within thepocket 78 just below theslot opening 80. The retention straps 82 havefree ends 84 that can be looped around theheadband 50, therein holding theheadband 50 in place. Once anchored in place, thedecorative elements 54 of theheadband 50 extend from theslot opening 80 and appear to be a decoration that is integrated into therear surface 76 and/or thetop surface 94 of thecarry bag 72. - Referring to
FIG. 5 in conjunction withFIG. 4 , it can be seen that a second set of retention straps 86 can be used at alternate locations on thecarry bag 72 to retain other fashion accessories. In the shown embodiment, ahat accessory 88 is shown. Thehat accessory 88 has afoldable cap 90 anddecorative features 92 that extend from thefoldable cap 90. Additionally, in the shown embodiment, thefront surface 74 of thecarry bag 72 has a convex shape. Thecarry bag 72 has atop surface 94 with anaccess opening 96. The retention straps 86 are disposed within thecarry bag 72 just below theaccess opening 96. The retention straps 86 each have a first end that is sewn in place and an oppositefree end 100. - The
cap 90 of thehat accessory 88 can be folded against the convexfront surface 74 of thecarry bag 72. Once in this position, the retention straps 86 can be looped around thedecorative features 92, therein joining thehat accessory 88 to thecarry bag 72. - Returning to the
assembly 10 ofFIG. 1 , it will be understood thatmechanical fasteners 102 can be provided on the side surfaces 26 of thecarry bag 12. Themechanical fasteners 102 can be used to attachother fashion accessories 14 to thecarry bag 12. Thefashion accessories 14 can also include one or more belts or belt-like straps 104. Eachbelt 104 can containdecorative elements 108. In the illustrated embodiment, only onebelt 104 is shown. Thebelt 104 can be sized to fit the waist of a wearer. Thebelt 104 is wrapped around thecarry bag 12. Smaller belts can be wrapped around thecarry bag 12 above thepocket extension 36. As such, theledge 38 between themain bag 20 and thepocket extension 36 will prevent thebelt 104 from falling.Larger belts 46 can be wrapped around themain bag 20 and thepocket extension 36, as is shown. Thebelt 104 can have loops, holes, ormating connectors 110 that engage themechanical fasteners 102 on the side surfaces 26 of thecarry bag 12. This connects thebelt 104 to thecarry bag 12. This prevents thebelt 104 from inadvertently slipping and provides the appearance that thebelt 104 is a structural part of thecarry bag 72. - In embodiments in which the
pocket extension 36 is removable from thefirst assembly 10, thepocket extension 36 may include loops attached to its rear surface (not illustrated). Thebelt 104 may removably attach thepocket extension 36 to thecarry bag 12 through the loops on the rear face of thepocket extension 36. The free ends ofbelt 104 can be removably fastened tomechanical fasteners 102. - The
