Brief Patent Description - Full Patent Description - Patent Application Claims
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] This invention relates to an article carrier in form of a back pack type structure wherein a garment designed and structured to protect a wearer against the rain, wind, cold, etc. is attached to the base of the back pack structure so as to be stored therein or removed there from when worn by the person supporting the back pack structure. [0003] 2. Description of the Prior Art [0004] Back pack type of carrier assemblies are well known in the prior art. Typically, such article carrier assemblies are supported generally on the back portion of the person supporting the carrier wherein a shoulder strap or some type of surrounding belt attachment is connected to the subject article carrier and further wherein either the shoulder straps or the surrounding belt are removably affixed to the torso portion of the person supporting the article carrier. While the general concept of such structures are well known in the art, certain desired modifications in such structures are desirable both from a convenience and efficiency stand point. [0005] In addition to back pack type article carriers, the structure and concept of some type of protective garment, to be worn by a person, is also well known in the art. Typically, such garments may generally protect the wearer from precipitation, such as rain, cold, or the weather elements generally. Such garments may be tailored such as rain jackets or rain coats or may be more general in shape, configuration and structure such as a "poncho" type of garment. One problem generally associated with the use and wearing of such protective type garments is there ability to be stored and yet readily available when need for such garments arises. compartment is located substantially adjacent what may be considered a front face of the exterior of the base. Conversely, the second compartment is located substantially adjacent to a rear face of the exterior of the base. The first access means including an elongated access opening is formed on the front face and provides access to the first compartment. A closure structure such as but not limited to a zipper or a hook and loop type fastener may define a part of the first access means. A second access means is elongated and extends along a peripheral portion of the base which substantially separates the front face from the rear face. The second access opening means is also defined by an access opening and may also have a closure structure of somewhat conventional design such as a zipper, hook and loop type fastener, etc. [0006] A support means preferably in the form of two spaced apart and independently structured shoulder straps are connected to the base and extend outwardly from an exterior thereof These shoulder straps are dimensioned and disposed so as to at least partially surround and somewhat embrace the shoulders of a wearer of the article carrier such that the major portion of the article carrier in its back pack type of configuration may rest upon, be supported by and confront the upper back of the wearer. [0007] Other structural features of the present invention include a combined protective garment. This protective garment may generally be in the form of a poncho type structure and may include a hood, sleeve structures, a torso surrounding portion and certain other structural components which allow for the covering and protection of the wearer. An attachment means is disposed in permanently fixed attachment to both the hollow interior of the base portion of the article carrier and the garment itself This attachment means preferably is in the form of an elongated band or strap having an innermost end fixedly secured to the partition, at some point thereon. The length of the elongated attachment strap may be stored within or extend outwardly from the first compartment, as setforth above. The outer end of the elongated attachment strap is fixedly attached to the protective garment such that the protective garment will, at all times, be secured to some portion of the base. [0008] It should be apparent that the flexible garment is made of a flexible material which may be folded or rolled upon itself to the extent that it may be oriented in a compact shape or form. When in such compact shape it may pass through the first access means and or the access opening thereof and be stored within the first compartment or removed therefrom when it is desired to be worn by the wearer. Whether the protective garment is being worn or being stored it is at all times attached to the partition of the base of the back pack carrier assembly so as to facilitate its storage and eliminate the possibility of it being lost or removed from the carrier assembly. The second compartment is dimensioned and structured to hold a variety of different articles such as but not limited to books, food carriers, etc. [0009] Yet another feature of the present invention is the provision of a purse mounted on the exterior of the base of the subject carrier assembly and more specifically on the exterior of and facing outwardly from the rear face, as set forth above. A subject access and cover assembly to the purse may be provided such that the purse may be closed so as to prevent unauthorized or inadvertent access to the interior thereof The purse is generally smaller in dimension and overall configuration than the first or second compartment and is primarily designed to hold smaller articles such as money, personal belongings, etc. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS [0010] The following is a detailed description of the present invention taken in light of the accompanying drawings in which: [0011] FIG. 1 is a front perspective view of different types of protective garments which may be included in the present invention.
