Definitions
- the invention relates to a beach bag that can be converted to a towel or blanket. Once converted, the towel or blanket can be joined to similar towels or blankets to create a larger towel or blanket.
- a trip to the beach usually requires numerous items, such as sandals, lotions, towels and a covering to be placed on the sand such as a mat or beach blanket. These items are generally all placed in a tote bag which, when filled can be quite bulky. In an attempt to reduce the bulk of the items carried to the beach, several examples exist of totes or bags which, when emptied, can be disassembled to provide a flat cloth structure such as a towel or a beach blanket.
- Eliminating the need to carry a separate towel or blanket means that the size of the tote bag can be smaller and, as a result, once dissembled the size of the resultant towel or blanket may be too small for its intended purpose. Accordingly, while there is a need for a compact, convertible tote bag, there is also a need for the bag once converted to be expandable to a larger size for use as a towel or a blanket to accommodate one or more individuals. Even if the tote bag is not reduced in size there still remains a desire to provide a large towel or ground cover.
- a beach blanket, towel, ground cover or other similar flat product includes a pouch attached thereto.

Abstract
A combination tote bag and blanket, towel or ground cover has a pouch attached thereto adjacent one end thereof. The blanket, towel or ground cover has fasteners along the length of at least two parallel sides so that at least a second blanket, towel or ground cover with compatible fasteners can be secured to the first blanket, towel or ground cover along the length of one of said parallel sides. The pouch can be inverted so that when inverted the blanket, towel or ground cover resides within the inverted pouch.
Description
- The invention relates to a beach bag that can be converted to a towel or blanket. Once converted, the towel or blanket can be joined to similar towels or blankets to create a larger towel or blanket.
- A trip to the beach usually requires numerous items, such as sandals, lotions, towels and a covering to be placed on the sand such as a mat or beach blanket. These items are generally all placed in a tote bag which, when filled can be quite bulky. In an attempt to reduce the bulk of the items carried to the beach, several examples exist of totes or bags which, when emptied, can be disassembled to provide a flat cloth structure such as a towel or a beach blanket.

No. 7,076,817 to Nielsen have issued covering such convertible bags.
- Eliminating the need to carry a separate towel or blanket means that the size of the tote bag can be smaller and, as a result, once dissembled the size of the resultant towel or blanket may be too small for its intended purpose. Accordingly, while there is a need for a compact, convertible tote bag, there is also a need for the bag once converted to be expandable to a larger size for use as a towel or a blanket to accommodate one or more individuals. Even if the tote bag is not reduced in size there still remains a desire to provide a large towel or ground cover.
- A beach blanket, towel, ground cover or other similar flat product includes a pouch attached thereto. Inversion of the pouch results in the blanket, towel or ground cover being located within the pouch. Draw strings or straps are provided for closing the pouch and for carrying the pouch with its enclosed blanket. The blanket, towel or ground cover has fasteners along at least two parallel sides to provide means to attach at least a second similar blanket, towel or ground cover to the side thereof. The addition of the second blanket, towel, ground cover doubles the area covered by the product.

As a result, thebottom end portion 112 of theblanket 100 is now enclosed within the bottom portion of the invertedpouch 106. - Referring again to the embodiment of
FIG. 5 , theblanket 100 has fasteners along the left andright edges ground cover 100. This allows the assembly of a ground cover of much larger size. As shown inFIG. 5 the fasteners comprise afemale portion 114 along one side (the right edge 104) and themale portion 116 along the second side (theleft edge 102. When a similarly constructedblanket 100 is placed adjacent afirst blanket 100 the adjacentfemale portion 114 andmale portion 116 of the two blankets can be snapped together. This can be repeated with additionalsimilar blankets 100. Other types of fasteners can be used such as hook and loop fasteners (usually referred to as Velcro® fasteners), zippers, such as shown inFIGS. 7 and 8 , buttons, tying strings, etc. -
FIGS. 2 and 3 show an exterior view of thetote bag 10 in its carrying mode including anoptional pocket 12 on the outer surface.

Eachdraw string tubular channel 22 across themouth 108 of thebag 10.FIG. 2 shows thebag 10 in an open configure.FIG. 3 shows thesame bag 10 in a closed configuration. The attachment of thedrawings strings left sides bag 10 allow the draw strings to also function as carrying straps for placement over an individuals shoulders so that thebag 10 can be carried like as a backpack. -
FIGS. 4 and 5 show a second embodiment of the convertible bag whereindrawstrings 32 on thebag 30 are through the mouth of the bag but are not attached to the lower end of the bag. Analternative carrying strap 24 is shown applied across the upper area of thebag 10. Additional carryingstraps 24 can be applied and they can be attached at various locations on the pouch surface. -
FIG. 6 shows ablanket 200, which is substantially the same as the first embodiment with the exception that the attachment means, in this case female andmale snap portion additional blankets 200 in the same manner as described above. -
FIG. 7 illustrates the placement ofhook portions 214 and loopportions 216 of Velcro® fasteners along the edges.FIG. 8 illustrates the placement ofzippers 218. - Based on the teachings herein one skilled in the art will recognize that fasteners other then discussed herein can be used. Also, while the fastener arrangement described herein preferably includes placement of one half of a two part fastener system along one edge and the second half of the fastener system along a second parallel edge, the invention also contemplates alternating placement of the two portions of the fastener along each of the parallel edges, as long as the fastener portions along the second edge are the opposite of the adjacent first edge portions.
