Definitions
- Bag securement apparatus and a method of utilisation thereof
- This invention relates generally to apparatus for securing bags comprising valuables therein.
- the present invention seeks to provide a way to overcome or substantially ameliorate at least some of the deficiencies of the prior art, or to at least provide an alternative.
- the bag securement apparatus for securement of bags (such as handbags, kitbags, beach bags and or the like) having valuables therein.
- the bag securement apparatus comprises an auger ground anchor comprising a shaft, a blade at a distal end thereof and a securement loop engagement and turning handle connection at a proximal end thereof.
- the apparatus further comprises a turning handle having a proximal end engageable to the turning handle connection.
- the handle may be connected to the auger ground shaft and used to screw the auger ground shaft into the ground. Blades of various configurations may be suited for beach sand, soil and hardpacked ground.
- a securement loop of a bag may then be attached to the securement loop engagement so that the bag cannot be taken.
- the apparatus may comprise a securement loop formed by a fixed piece fixed to a body of the bag and a zipper piece slidable with a zipper thereof relative to the fixed piece which cooperate to form a loop when a zip thereof is closed.
- the zip of the bag may be further held closed by the apparatus so that valuables cannot be taken therefrom.
- the fixed piece may comprise proximal and distal apertures which go around the shaft to collocate with a further distal aperture of the zipper piece so that a padlock or the like can go through all three to form a loop.
- the securement loop engagement may comprise a disc having a diameter greater than a maximum opening formed by the loop so that the disc cannot pass therethrough, thereby securing the securement loop to the auger ground anchor.
- the present arrangement provides a more robust, smaller and simpler configuration as compared to prior art arrangements and which can be quickly and easily deployed and which can be easily stored in a beach bag or the like when disassembled.
- Figure 1 shows bag securement apparatus in accordance with an embodiment
- Figures 2 - 5 illustrate the utilisation of the apparatus
- Figure 6 shows a securement loop in accordance with an embodiment.
- Beach bag securement apparatus 100 comprises an auger ground anchor 101 comprising a shaft 102 and one or more blades 103 at a distal end thereof.
- the blades 103 may be generally helical for screwing into beach sand.
- the blades 103 may have a smaller diameter and/or pitch than that which is shown to be suited for screwing into soil or hardpacked ground.
- the anchor 101 further comprises a securement loop engagement 104 and a turning handle connection 105 at a proximal end thereof.
- the apparatus 100 further comprises a turning handle 106 having a proximal end releasably engageable to the turning handle connection 105.
- the turning handle 106 may comprise a turning handle key portion 107 which keys with a turning handle connection key portion 108 of the anchor 101.
- the turning handle key portion 107 and the turning handle connection key portion 108 may comprise a key profile which is non-standard so that conventional metric or imperial spanners, screwdrivers, Allen keys and or the like cannot be used to connect to the turning handle connection key portion 108 to remove the anchor 105.
- the key profile is star shaped.
- the key profile may be selected from a set of key profiles.
- apparatus 100 may be sold with a variety of key profiles so that it is unlikely that users of the apparatus 100 will be able to remove each other’s anchors 101.
- the turning handle key portion 107 may comprise a female portion and the turning handle connection key portion 108 may comprise a male portion.
- the female portion receives the male portion therein to engage the handle 106 to the anchor 101.
- the female portion may comprise a proximal disc 109 defining a keyed aperture 110 therein.
- the male portion may comprise a cross-section corresponding to the keyed aperture 1 10.
- the male portion may extend along a longitudinal axis of the shaft 102 such that the female portion engages the male portion when the handle 106 is orthogonal with respect to the shaft 102 substantially shown in Figure 1.
- the securement loop engagement 104 may comprise a disc 11 1 having a diameter substantially greater than that of the shaft 102.
- a securement loop may engage underneath the disc 1 11 in use wherein the securement loop forms a loop having a maximum opening through which the disc 111 cannot pass.
- the securement loop 1 12 may comprise a fixed piece 113 which is sewn or otherwise fixed to a body 114 of a beach bag or the like at a proximal end 115 thereof. Furthermore, the securement loop may comprise a zipper piece 116 attach to a zipper 117. As such, the zipper piece 116 slides with the zipper 117 relative to the fixed piece 113. The zipper 117 closes a zip 118 of the bag when the zipper piece 1 16 is adjacent the fixed piece 1 13.
- the fixed piece 1 13 may comprise a proximal aperture 119 and a distal aperture 120. Furthermore, the zipper piece 116 may comprise a distal aperture 121. As such, the fixed piece 1 13 may go around the shaft 1 12 under the disc 1 11 and a securement (such as a combination padlock or the like) may go through the collocating apertures 1 19, 120 and 121 of the securement loop 112 to thereby form a loop having a maximum opening through which the disc 1 12 cannot pass.
- a securement such as a combination padlock or the like
- FIGs 2 - 5 illustrate the utilisation of the apparatus 100.
- the handle 106 is connected to the auger ground anchor 101 by placing the turning handle key portion 107 over the turning handle connection key portion 108.
- the handle 106 is then turned anticlockwise (given the orientation of the blades 103 shown) such that the blades 103 screw into the beach sand 122.
- the handle 106 may comprise a distal knob 123 to aid leverage of the handle 106.
- the blades 103 are configured such that the blades 103 screw into the beach sand 122 when the handle 106 is turned clockwise.
- the handle 106 may be pulled from the turning handle connection 108, thereby leaving the securement loop engagement 104 and an upper portion 124 of the shaft 102 exposed above the beach sand 122.
- the handle 106 may then be placed inside a bag 125.
- the preferably circular profile of the disc 1 11 makes it difficult or impossible to unscrew the auger ground anchor 101 by hand.
- the bag 125 is brought close to the auger ground anchor 101 so that the fixed piece 1 13 can go around the shaft 102 until the apertures 119, 120 thereof can collocate with the distal aperture 121 of the zipper piece 116 therebetween.
- a securement 126 (being a combination padlock in this instance) is secured through the collocating apertures 119, 120 and 121 thereby forming a loop having a maximum opening through which the disc 1 11 cannot pass.
