Abstract

A backpack with an insulated beverage pocket includes a backpack body having an interior compartment and a pair of shoulder straps connected at each end thereof to the backpack body. An insulated pocket extends into the interior compartment.

Description

    FIELD OF THE INVENTION

  • This invention relates generally to backpacks, and, in particular, to backpacks having an insulated beverage pocket.

    • BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

  • Backpacks for carrying items such as books, clothing, and other personal items are well known. Backpacks typically comprise a large central compartment into which the items are placed. Additional compartments may also be provided to separate items within the backpack, and external pockets may be provided to provide additional storage. The backpack is typically outfitted with a pair of shoulder straps, and may also have a hip strap, each of which are attached to the backpack and are used by the wearer to carry the backpack.

  • It is often desirable for user's of a backpack to carry beverages within the backpack, especially when the user is engaged in strenuous activities, such as hiking, climbing, skateboarding, etc. Having water or another beverage available helps the user avoid dehydration, and having the beverage in the backpack provides a convenience for the user.

  • European Patent No. 0 541 032 to Kullmann discloses a backpack having a receptacle compartment in a lower portion of the backpack. The receptacle compartment is accessed from a side of the backpack. The receptacle compartment is strengthened by a stiffening unit, such as a plastic tube, or a braided metal or plastic cylinder. The stiffening unit is intended to prevent other objects that are located in the backpack from compressing the receptacle compartment. Kullman is limiting in that whether or not the receptacle compartment is housing a beverage, the compartment still occupies the same amount of space in the backpack, which is highly inefficient. Additionally, the receptacle compartment provides no insulative properties for the beverage held in the compartment.

  • U.S. Pat. No. 6,116,045 to Hodosh et al. discloses an insulated container having a receptacle positioned in a top or side of the container. A partially opened container may be housed in the receptacle and kept warm or cold by being exposed to a thermal energy storage medium, such as ice or a heated member housed within the container.

  • It is an object of the present invention to provide a backpack that reduces or overcomes some or all of the difficulties inherent in prior known devices. Particular objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art, that is, those who are knowledgeable or experienced in this field of technology, in view of the following disclosure of the invention and detailed description of certain preferred embodiments.

    • SUMMARY

  • The principles of the invention may be used to advantage to provide a backpack with an insulated beverage pocket.

  • In accordance with a first aspect, a backpack with an insulated beverage pocket includes a backpack body having an interior compartment and a pair of shoulder straps connected at each end thereof to the backpack body. An insulated pocket extends into the interior compartment.

  • In accordance with another aspect, a backpack with an insulated beverage pocket includes a backpack body having an interior compartment and a pair of shoulder straps connected at each end thereof to the backpack body. A hip strap is connected at opposite ends thereof to the backpack body. An insulated pocket extends from a lateral side of the backpack body and downwardly at an angle into the interior compartment. A cover is releasably secured to the backpack body about the insulated pocket.

  • In accordance with a further aspect, a backpack with an insulated beverage pocket includes a backpack body having an interior compartment and a pair of shoulder straps connected at each end thereof to the backpack body. A hip strap is connected at opposite ends thereof to the backpack body. An insulated pocket extends from a lateral side of the backpack body and downwardly at an angle into the interior compartment. A retaining member has a first end secured to the insulated pocket and a second end secured to the lateral side. A cover for the insulated pocket has a lower edge secured to the backpack body, and is secured about an opening of the pocket by zipper.

  • Substantial advantage is achieved by providing a backpack with an insulated beverage pocket. In particular, a backpack with an insulated beverage pocket helps a user to maintain a beverage at a desired temperature, while allowing other items to be carried in the interior compartment. In certain embodiments, the insulated pocket prevents condensation from affecting other items carried in the backpack.

    • DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF CERTAIN PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

  • The present invention may be embodied in various forms. A preferred embodiment of a

    backpack

    10 is shown in

    FIGS. 1-3

    .

    Backpack

    10 is formed of a plurality of panels, including a

    top

    12, a

    bottom

    14, two

    lateral sides

    16, an

    outer side

    18, and a

    body side

    20. When used herein, the term “outer side” refers to the side of the backpack, or any other element, that faces away from the back of the user wearing the backpack. Accordingly, the term “body side” refers to the side of the backpack, or any other element, that faces the back of a user.

  • Unless otherwise stated, or otherwise clear from the context below, directional terms used herein, such as inwardly, outwardly, downwardly, upwardly, etc., refer to directions relative to

    backpack

    10 itself.

    Backpack

    10 is shown in

    FIG. 1

    to be disposed substantially upright, as it would be positioned on the back of a wearer. However, it is to be appreciated that

    backpack

    10 need not be limited to such an orientation, since

    backpack

    10 could at times be in other positions, for example, lying down with

    body side

    20 on a surface such as the ground. Thus, in the illustrated embodiment of

    FIG. 1

    , downwardly is toward

    bottom

    14 and upwardly is toward

    top

    12. Inwardly is a direction from an exterior of

    backpack

    10 toward

    interior compartment

    22. Naturally, outwardly is a direction from

    interior compartment

    22 toward an exterior of

    backpack

    10.

  • When connected, the six panels or sides define an interior compartment in

    backpack

    10 into which items such as books, food, clothing, etc. may be placed. The interior compartment of

    backpack

    10 may be subdivided into smaller compartments, and additional external pockets may be added in order to keep various items separate from one another, thereby providing easy access to frequently used items, and allowing for the proper weight distribution and comfort to the wearer.

  • Although six particular sides or panels are described,

    backpack

    10 can comprise fewer or more panels or sides, and be within the scope of the invention. For instance, each of the body, top, bottom, outer, and lateral sides can be comprised of one continuous piece of fabric with no actual seams or junctures. Alternatively,

    backpack

    10 could even be formed with ten or more panels or sides and corresponding seams or junctures therebetween.

  • The panels making up

    backpack

    10, as well as the straps and other components of the invention, can variously comprise a number of natural or synthetic materials. Natural fabric such as leather, cotton (especially canvas or single-filled duck) and the like may be useful for certain applications. Exemplary materials are synthetic fabrics made from thermoplastic materials such as polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, polyamide (such as nylon), polyethylene, polyester, etc. In certain preferred embodiments, nylon is used, which can be textured for breathability, wear-resistance, and waterproofed with materials such as silicone elastomers and the like. Particularly useful is a type of nylon known as Cordura (provided by E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Co., Wilmington, Del.). Multiple or composite layer configurations as are well-known in the art, in which a tougher, more durable weave comprises an outer layer while a lighter, thinner, and more flexible inner weave comprises an inner layer. Some of these materials known in the industry, such as Gore-Tex (provided by W.L. Gore & Associates, Newark, Del.), Tri-Shield (provided by Tri-Seal International, Blauvelt, N.Y.), Spandura (provided by H. Warsaw & Sons, New York, N.Y.), etc. can be used as appropriate.

  • Each of a pair of

    shoulder straps

    26 is secured at first and second ends thereof to

    backpack

    10. Shoulder straps 26 may have an adjustable buckle (not shown). In a preferred embodiment, a

    hip strap

    28 is secured at opposite ends thereof to

    backpack

    10.

    Hip strap

    28 typically comprises left and right side portions (only the right side portion is visible here), connected to one another by an adjustable buckle (not shown).

  • An

    insulated pocket

    30 extends inwardly into

    interior compartment

    22. In the illustrated embodiment,

    pocket

    30 is formed in a

    lateral side

    16 of

    backpack

    10. It is to be appreciated that

    pocket

    30 may be positioned in other locations in

    backpack

    10 including, for example, the other

    lateral side

    16 or

    outer side

    18.

    Insulated pocket

    30 includes a

    wall

    32 and a bottom 34. In a preferred embodiment,

    pocket

    30 has a cylindrical profile, which could be circular or oval, allowing a beverage container, such as a

    bottle

    36 to be easily received in

    pocket

    30. In other preferred embodiments,

    pocket

    30 could have other shapes, such as rectangular, and other such shapes are considered to be within the scope of the present invention.

  • With respect to

    pocket

    30, the term inwardly refers to a direction from an exterior of

    pocket

    30 toward the interior of

    pocket

    30. Outwardly is a direction from the interior of

    pocket

    30 toward an exterior of

    pocket

    30. Accordingly, inner, when used with respect to

    pocket

    30, refers to the interior, or interior side or surface, of

    pocket

    30, and outer refers to the exterior, or exterior side or surface, of

    pocket

    30.

  • In a preferred embodiment,

    pocket

    30 angles downwardly into

    interior compartment

    22, and is secured to

    interior compartment

    22 by a retaining member, such as elongate lengths of

    webbing

    38, 40. Angling

    pocket

    30 downwardly helps ensure that any fluid that might spill from

    bottle

    36, or condensation from the exterior of

    bottle

    36, will be retained in

    pocket

    30. As illustrated in

    FIGS. 2-3

    , lengths of

    webbing

    38, 40 extend upwardly and inwardly at an angle from opposed edges of

    lateral side

    16 to

    pocket

    30. Consequently, lengths of

    webbing

    38, 40 act to keep

    pocket

    30 from moving upwardly, but allow

    pocket

    30 to move downwardly, as seen in

    FIG. 4

    , where

    pocket

    30 is seen in an empty and collapsed, or compressed condition. Allowing

    pocket

    30 to compress is advantageous since more space is available in

    interior compartment

    22 when

    pocket

    30 is not holding a beverage and is in its collapsed or compressed condition.

  • A

    cover

    42 is secured about the opening of

    pocket

    30.

    Cover

    42 is preferably releasably closed about

    pocket

    30 by a fastener, such as

    zipper

    44. It is to be appreciated that

    zipper

    44 may be a waterproof zipper. In preferred embodiments, cover 42 is secured to

    backpack

    10 along its lower edge by stitching such that it opens from the top (as seen in

    FIG. 2

    ) in hinged fashion, helping to ensure that moisture from spills or condensation is retained in

    pocket

    30. Additionally, hinging

    cover

    42 about its lower edge facilitates inserting

    bottle

    36 into and removing

    bottle

    36 from

    pocket

    30.

  • Pocket

    30 is insulated so as to keep

    bottle

    36 cool or warm for the user.

    Wall

    32, bottom 34 and cover 42 are all preferably insulated. A preferred embodiment of the construction of

    pocket

    30 is illustrated in

    FIG. 5

    , in which the composition of

    wall

    32 is shown.

  • Pocket

    30 is formed of a first

    outer layer

    46 that forms the exterior surface of

    pocket

    30 and is exposed to

    interior compartment

    22.

    Outer layer

    46 may be formed of the same material as the remainder of the

    interior compartment

    22. Suitable materials for

    outer layer

    46 include polyester, nylon, and canvas. Other suitable materials for

    outer layer

    46 will become readily apparent to those skilled in the art, given the benefit of this disclosure.

  • A second

    inner layer

    48 forms the interior surface of

    pocket

    30 and, therefore, is exposed to the interior of

    pocket

    30. In a preferred embodiment,

    inner layer

    48 is formed of a waterproof material so as to contain moisture within

    pocket

    30. Thus, if liquid were to spill from a beverage container held in

    pocket

    36, the liquid would be contained within

    pocket

    30. Similarly, any condensation from the exterior surface of a beverage container in

    pocket

    30 would also be contained within

    pocket

    30.

    Inner layer

    48 may be formed of, for example, polyvinylchloride (PVC), polyester, or other thin-sheet plastics. Other suitable materials for

    outer layer

    46 will become readily apparent to those skilled in the art, given the benefit of this disclosure.

  • A third insulating

    layer

    50 is sandwiched between

    outer layer

    46 and

    inner layer

    48. Insulating

    layer

    50 provides the insulative properties that help maintain the beverage at a desired temperature. In preferred embodiments, insulating

    layer

    50 is formed of a foam, such as enhanced polyethylene (EPE). Insulating

    layer

    50 may also be formed of, for example, polyester, or other foamed insulating materials. Other suitable materials for insulating

    layer

    50 will become readily apparent to those skilled in the art, given the benefit of this disclosure.

  • As described here,

    insulated pocket

    30 is formed of three layers. However, it is to be appreciated that

    pocket

    30 may be formed fewer or greater than three layers, and embodiments with fewer or greater than three layers are considered to be within the scope of the present invention.

  • In light of the foregoing disclosure of the invention and description of the preferred embodiments, those skilled in this area of technology will readily understand that various modifications and adaptations can be made without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention. All such modifications and adaptations are intended to be covered by the following claims.
