Abstract
A clothing travel bag adapted to be carried over the shoulder of the user. The bag includes a relatively thin, generally rectangular garment bag connected to a substantially smaller, generally rectangular clothes pouch by a relatively thin, flexible web. The intersection between the web and the garment bag is offset from the center of the garment bag to provide clearance for the neck of the user. The angle between the garment bag and clothes pouch is preferably about thirty degrees so that both the bag and the pouch are level when they are carried. A releasable fastener, such as a zipper, releasably secures the web to the garment bag so that the garment bag may be separated from the clothes pouch when articles are to be removed from the bag and pouch.
Claims9
A travel bag for carrying objects, comprising first and second bags interconnected by a relatively thin, flexible web, said web being offset from the center of at least one of said bags to provide clearance for the neck of a user when said travel bag is carried with said web over one shoulder and the first and second bags extend downwardly along the back and chest of the user, said web being secured to said bags in a manner that causes the respective center axes of said bags to intersect each other at an acute angle in the direction that said web is offset from said bag when said bags occupy a common plane so that said bags are level when they are carried, with said web resting on the shoulder of said user.
A clothing travel bag, comprising:
- a generally rectangular, relatively thin garment bag having means for hanging articles of clothing therein and an opening on one face thereof to allow access to the interior thereof;
- a generally rectangular clothing pouch having a cross-sectional area substantially smaller than the cross-sectional area of said garment bag;
- and
- a flexible web extending between said garment bag and said clothing pouch, said web being offset from the center of said garment bag to form a recessed inside edge intersecting said garment bag near its center axis and an outside edge meeting said garment bag near one of its edges to provide clearance between the inside edge of said web and the neck of a user when said travel bag is carried by the user with said web over one shoulder and the garment bag and clothes pouch extending downwardly along the back and chest of the user, the inside edge of said web being substantially longer than the outside edge of said web so that said garment bag and clothes bag are level when said travel bag is carried by said user, the edges of said web being scalloped, said web further including a pair of reinforcing straps extending from one corner of said garment bag to the opposite corner of said clothing pouch so that said straps cross each other near the center of said web such that said web centers itself on the shoulder of said user.
A clothing travel bag, comprising:
- a generally rectangular, relatively thin garment bag having means for hanging articles of clothing therein and an opening on one face thereof to allow access to the interior thereof;
- a generally rectangular clothing pouch having a cross-sectional area substantially smaller than the cross-sectional area of said garment bag;
- and
- a flexible web extending between said garment bag and said clothing pouch, said web being offset from the center of said garment bag to form a recessed inside edge intersecting said garment bag near its center axis and an outside edge meeting said garment bag near one of its edges to provide clearance between the inside edge of said web and the neck of a user when said travel bag is carried by the user with said web over one shoulder and the garment bag and clothes pouch extending downwardly along the back and chest of the user, the inside edge of said web being substantially longer than the outside edge of said web so that said garment bag and clothes bag are level when said travel bag is carried by said user, the center axis of said garment bag intersecting the center axis of said clothes pouch at approximately thirty degrees when said bag and pouch occupy a common plane.
