Laundry Duffel Bag
In the current design of laundry bags there are a few that address some of the most common problems of the struggle and inconvenience of use for transporting laundry. The most standard laundry bags, when packed with laundry, are heavy and without handles. Other laundry bags, that do have handles, are designed as back packs or a single sling strap bag that shifts the heavy weight onto the back of the user which then becomes mostly uncomfortable to wear and creates a different type of struggle. Additionally, the fabrics and materials used for these backpack laundry bags are of heavy materials that increases the overall weight. Other laundry containers with handles are mostly not washable and would require an inconvenient way for them to be cleaned before being able to store clothes that have been cleaned.
In some case, one might consider using a standard duffel bag because of its design function of being made to carry heavy loads more conveniently. However, the challenge in the use of the standard duffel bags is that they are not made to be washable because of their rigid materials, and construction. They are also not easy to clean, and are mostly made to carry items that are clean.
The convenience of the standard laundry bag is that it is easy to pack by having a drawstring opening. The standard laundry bag is also desired because it is washable, lightweight and strong. But, for the transporting heavy loads, they are painfully difficult and inconvenient.
The inventor, in an inventive moment, realized that combining the conveniences of the standard laundry bag for it's ease of packing and washing, and the convenience of the standard duffel bag for it's design to carry heavy loads, a new desired and very convenient product would emerge. Therefore, the inventor, after considering all of the ergonomic functions and components of each found that the design would require using a very light weight, washable, and strong materials; a drawstring opening, as found on the standard laundry bag; and adding handles and a shoulder strap, as found on the standard duffel bag. The inventor also added two additional smaller handles to allow the user to carry the new bag invention in an upright position.
This new bag invention, the Laundry duffel, creates significant improvements and addresses many of the inconveniences of the standard laundry bag. It provides an operational use that is without impediments, thereby creating a more complete, and more successful use.
