Versatile article carrier

A versatile article carrier for carrying a plurality of discrete articles of various structural configuration comprising:

• (a) at least a pair of longitudinally extended frame members;
• (b) a carrier body member coupled to said frame members for supportingly capturing said articles, said carrier body member having opposing first and second end portions and a substantially flexible panel portion extending therebetween, said first and second end portions being coupled respectively to said pair of frame members, said panel portion having formed thereon at least one article receiving compartment;
• (c) securing means coupled to at least one of said frame and carrier body members for adjustably securing at least one of said articles against one of said frame members;
• and,
• (d) means for handling said carrier body releasably coupled to said frame members, said handling means including a shoulder strap member, said shoulder strap member having a pair of distal terminal portions, each of said terminal portions terminating in a pair of strap segments branching therefrom, each said strap segment being releasably coupled to one of said frame members.

A versatile article carrier for carrying a plurality of discrete articles of various structural configuration comprising:

• (a) at least a pair of longitudinally extended frame members;
• (b) a carrier body member coupled to said frame members adapted to form between said frame members a sling structure for captively supporting said articles thereon, said carrier body member having opposing first and second end portions and a substantially flexible panel portion extending therebetween, said first and second end portions being coupled respectively to said pair of frame members, said panel portion having opposing inner and outer surfaces, said panel portion having formed on said outer surface thereof at least one article receiving compartment;
• (c) securing means coupled to at least one of said frame members for releasably securing thereto at least one of said articles;
• and, (d) a pair of shoulder strap members releasably coupled, respectively, to said frame members.

A versatile article carrier for carrying a plurality of discrete articles of various structural configuration comprising:

• (a) at least a pair of longitudinally extended and transversely collapsible frame members;
• (b) a carrier body member coupled to said frame members for supportingly capturing said articles, said carrier body member having opposing first and second end portions and a substantially flexible panel portion extending therebetween, said first and second end portions being coupled respectively to said pair of frame members, said flexible panel portion having formed thereon a plurality of article receiving compartments, at least one of said compartments having closure means for substantially enclosing therein the contents thereof;
• (c) securing means coupled to at least one of said frame and carrier body members for releasably securing thereto at least one of said articles, said securing means including at least a pair of looped strap members engaging one of said frame members for securing against said frame member a folded beach umbrella, said strap members being longitudinally displaced one from the other by a predetermined distance;
• and,
• (d) means for handling said carrier body releasably coupled to said frame members.

A versatile article carrier for carrying a plurality of discrete articles of various structural configuration comprising:

• (a) at least a pair of longitudinally extended and transversely collapsible frame members, each of said frame members including a hinged joint, said frame member being foldable thereabout;
• (b) a carrier body member coupled to said frame members for supportingly capturing said articles, said carrier body member having opposing first and second end portions and a substantially flexible panel portion extending therebetween, said first and second end portions being coupled respectively to said pair of frame members, said flexible panel portion having formed thereon a plurality of article receiving compartments, at least one of said compartments having closure means for substantially enclosing therein the contents thereof;
• (c) securing means coupled to at least one of said frame and carrier body members for releasably securing thereto at least one of said articles;
• and,
• (d) means for handling said carrier body releasably coupled to said frame members.
