DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0036] FIG. 1a shows a perspective view of an embodiment of the present invention. The invention consists of a partially-rigid, flexible sheet (1) made of a polymer, plastic, metal, fabric, cardboard, rubber or any other suitable material. The said sheet is of a rectangular, oval, elliptical or any other suitable shape, and of predetermined dimensions, and constructed to accommodate inside a luggage such as a suitcase, trunk, garment bag, duffle bag or any other, either a carry-on or checked-in luggage, which may come in different sizes. To one of the two shorter sides (henceforth may also be called as the top side edge) of a preferred rectangular shaped flexible sheet (1), a rigid rod, wire or a bar (2) is securely attached parallel to and along its edge with an attaching arrangement that include U-clips (12), grommets and rivets (13) or similar attaching mechanism. The said rod, wire or bar is made of metal, plastic or any other suitable rigid material. To the said rod, wire or bar (2), along its length, a single or a plurality of attaching device(s) such a clip, clamp, clasp, hook or any other such mechanism (4) is attached to secure (clip) one end of a garment, such as a shirt, jacket, blouse, skirt, trouser or any other suitable garment in place. To the said rod, wire or bar (2), a single or a plurality of hanging device such as a hook (3) is attached, which is used to hang this garment carrying accessory to a clothes rod or to a peg. In one scenario, the hook (3) may also be used to secure the garment carrying accessory to the inside a suitcase by hooking it to an attaching mechanism if such an arrangement is provided by the luggage manufacturer. In the absence of such an arrangement, the said garment carrying accessory and the garments secured on it may be placed freely inside a luggage, and this scenario is the mostly likely case presently since such an attaching arrangement is not normally available in the currently marketed luggages. To the flexible sheet (1), and along its two longer side edges, one end of a single or a plurality of straps, bands or laces (7) is securely attached with a attaching arrangement such as rivets and grommets (13), and the said straps bands or laces are made of a synthetic material such as nylon, natural fabric such as cotton, or rubber or a combination of these, or any other suitable material. To the other free ends of the said straps, bands or laces (7) are attached buckles, clasps, velcro (8) or any such fasteners, and by inter-locking or engaging the said fasteners (8) from both sides of the flexible sheet (1), the garments placed on the flexible sheet (1) can be securely held in place. In an alternate embodiment, a single or a plurality of bands or laces may encircle the flexible sheet (1) and the garments to hold the garments securely onto the sheet (1). In yet another alternate embodiment shown in FIG. 1c, free flaps of a suitable length may be attached along the edges of the two longitudinal sides of the flexible sheet (1), and the free edges of the said flaps are attached with a zipper, velcro, clasp, hook or any other closure mechanism. By bringing the flaps together and engaging the zipper or a similar closure mechanism, the flaps envelope and enclose the garments laid on the flexible sheet (1) and hold them securely in place.
[0037] FIG. 1b shows an exploded view of the rigid rod, wire or bar (2) and an attaching device such as a clip, clamp, clasp, hook or any other such attaching mechanism (4). In the exploded view, a single attaching device (4), namely a clip is shown attached to a rigid rod (2). In this preferred embodiment, the clip (4) is able to rotated 360 degrees on the axis of the rigid rod as depicted by the arrow (14) in this figure. The clip (4) can also be slid horizontally along the rigid rod in either direction as indicated by the arrow (15). In a preferred embodiment, a plurality of such clips or attaching devices (4) are provided on both sides of the hanging device (3), and the said clips or attaching devices (4) can be rotated independently to any desired angle, as well as moved independently along the rod (2) to adjust the distance between each of them.
[0038] FIG. 1c is an alternate embodiment showing free flaps (16) attached along the edges of the two longitudinal sides of the flexible sheet (1). Along the free ends of the said flaps, a closure mechanism such as a zipper, velcro, clasp, hook or any other (17) is attached, which when engaged will bring the flaps together to envelope and secure the garments on the flexible sheet (1). The free flaps may be of any suitable material such as natural fabric, synthetic, rubber, paper, cardboard, plastic or any combination thereof, and of a suitable length and shape to secure the garments on the flexible sheet (1).
[0039] FIGS. 2a to 2d shows the preferred process of folding and securing shirt garments (9,10) on to the flexible sheet (1).
[0040] FIG. 2a shows a long sleeved shirt (same applies to a short sleeved shirt) laid on a flat surface with the two front flaps of the shirt facing up and the sleeves spread out. The arrow indicates the direction of folding the shirt lengthwise in the median, thus halving the width of the shirt. The two front flaps and the two sleeves now lay in direct opposition by this fold.
[0041] FIG. 2b shows the manner of folding the two shirt sleeves at the armhole, by bringing them diagonally over to lay on the folded back half of the body of the shirt as indicated by the direction of the arrow. No visible crease is formed by this fold since this fold is along the armhole of the shirt.
[0042] FIG. 2c shows two folded shirts (9,10) placed over each other and on to the flexible sheet (1), and each attached at the collar to attaching devices, in this case hanger clips (4). Additionally, FIG. 2c also shows the straps (7) with a closure mechanism such as a buckle or clasp (8) attached to their free ends, which when engaged secure the garments in place on the flexible sheet (1). In this preferred packing method, one folded shirt (10) is layered over the other folded shirt (9) with each one attached at the collar to a clip (3) located on either side of the hook (3), and their collar fronts facing each other. A plurality of the the such attaching devices (4) enable a plurality of garments to be attached to them (4) on both sides of the hook (3) in an alternating fashion and neatly layered on top of each other. In a setting where more garments need packing than clips available, it is feasible to attach a plurality of garments to a single attaching device (4). In an alternate embodiment, the straps (7) and buckles (8) may be replaced by flaps (16) and zippers (17), and in yet another embodiment by a single or a plurality of elastic band(s) or lace(s) which encircle the flexible sheet (1) and the garments (9,10) to hold them together.
[0043] FIG. 2d shows a folded shirt (9) placed on the flexible sheet (1) and secured in place with the straps (7) and the buckles (8) engaged.
[0044] FIG. 3a shows an example of a plurality of trousers (6) laid lengthwise, layered or stacked on top of each other on a flat surface. A rigid tube (5), preferably cylindrical in shape, is placed at one end on to which the stacked trousers are rolled in the direction indicated by the arrow. A single or a plurality of any long length garments can similarly be packed by rolling around the tube (5). The tube (5) is preferably made of a suitable rigid material such as polymer, plastic, metal, cardboard, paper or rubber, and of any other suitable shape and size.
[0045] FIG. 3b shows the side view of the rigid cylindrical tube (5) and the garments (6) rolled around it, and ready to be placed on the flexible sheet (1) inside a luggage.
[0046] FIG. 4a shows a perspective view of a luggage with its lid (22) open and one of its sides cut away to expose the lower portion of the flexible sheet (1) and a shirt garment (9) that has been gently laid to rest on the inner back panel of the luggage body (21). As shown in this preferred packing method, the garment (9) faces down and is in direct opposition to the inner side of the back panel of the luggage body. The edge of the lower shorter side of the flexible sheet (1) is maneuvered to bring this edge closest to the bottom corner formed by the meeting of back panel (21) and the lower side (18) edges of the luggage. The remaining top portion of the flexible sheet (1), that is the portion with hanger clips (4), rod (2) and hook (3) remains outside the luggage at this stage of the packing process and near the top side (23) of the luggage as shown.
[0047] FIG. 4b is a perspective view of a luggage with its lid open and one of its sides cut away to expose the cylindrical tube (5), the garments (6) rolled around it, and a toiletry receptacle (11) placed next to it on the inner surface (facing up) of the flexible sheet (1) inside a luggage. The tube (5) and its rolled garments (6) are placed transversely near the top side (23) of the luggage, and the rounded shape of the rolled garments snugly fits in the space created by the semi-circular curve formed by rolling or folding the flexible sheet (1) over it. The toiletry receptacle and miscellaneous items occupy the remaining space on the lower portion of the flat surface of the flexible sheet towards the lower side of the luggage (18). An arrow indicates the direction of the folding of the flexible sheet (1) around the rolled garments (6) and the tube (5). A large radius semi-circular curve is formed around the rolled garments, and the inner surface of the flexible sheet (1) is closely hugging the rolled garments (6) as shown in the figure. In this preferred packing method, the garments attached to the flexible sheet (9) remain on the exterior convex surface of the sheet (1) when the luggage is made upright, thus preventing their collapse below. These garments (9) on the exterior (outer) surface of the sheet (1) also remain separated from the rolled trousers (6) and the cylindrical tube (5) which are located on the inner surface of the sheet (1), preventing any direct contact with each other, thus minimizing any excessive creasing that can result from friction.
[0048] FIG. 4c is a perspective view of a luggage with one of its sides cut away to expose a garment carrying accessory fully assembled and packed inside a luggage, and with the luggage lid or front panel (22) closed. In this preferred packing method, the curved middle portion of the flexible sheet (1) and the garments (9) on its exterior surface abuts the top side of a luggage (23), while the remaining two flat upper and lower portions of the sheet (1) on either side of the curved middle portion form two flat parallel surfaces that abut the sides of the lid or front panel (22) and the back panel (21) respectively. These two parallel surfaces enclose the toiletry receptacle (11) with other miscellaneous items in between them as shown. Also shown in the figure is the location of the garments (9) attached the flexible sheet (1) which lay sandwiched between the inner sides of the luggage and the exterior surface of the flexible sheet (1) when the luggage lid (22) is closed.
[0049] FIG. 4d is a perspective view of a the fully assembled luggage shown in FIG. 4c in an upright position ready for travel and one of its side cut away to expose the contents inside. In this preferred packing method using this garment carrying accessory, when the luggage is in an upright position, the curved portion of the flexible sheet (1) remains at the top side (23) of the uprighted luggage, and the garments (9) lay on its convex exterior surface following the large radius curvature of the flexible sheet (1) and the two parallel flat surfaces on either side of the curvature. The cylindrical tube (5) and its rolled garments (6), and the toiletry receptacle (11) with other miscellaneous items sit snugly in the interior space formed the curved and two parallel sides of the flexible sheet (1).
[0050] In an alternate embodiment, the hanging element (3) attached to the rod (2), may be directly attached to the partially rigid flexible sheet (1).
[0051] In yet another alternate embodiment, the hanging element (3) may be used to secure the entire garment carrying accessory to the inside of a luggage if such an attaching arrangement is provided by a luggage manufacturer.
[0052] In yet another alternate embodiment, the buckles or clasps (8) may be substituted with Velcro or magnetic fasteners to secure the garments on to the flexible sheet (1).
[0053] The general principles of this invention, the garment carrying accessory, are disclosed in the detailed descriptions of a preferred embodiment, and are not intended to limit the present design and utility model. It is obvious to those skilled in the art that various substitutions to the invention are possible, and any obvious substitution without deviation from the general concept of the present utility model shall be protected within the scope of the present invention.
[0054] It is also obvious, numerous variations exist not only in the garment shapes and sizes, but also in the packing methods including the steps involved the packing process, and/or the placement of or the variety of the contents inside a luggage. For any particular user of this garment carrying accessory, one or a combination of these may become a suitable and preferred method for packing a luggage.
Process of Packing and Unpacking
[0055] In this preferred method, when packing garments such as a shirt, jacket or blouse, the garment is folded lengthwise in half approximately in the median as shown in FIG. 2a and indicated by an arrow. The halved width of the shirt garment shown in FIG. 2b now approximately equals the width (length of the shorter side) of the flexible sheet (1) shown in FIG. 2c. The said sheet and the garment can both comfortably fit inside the width of a luggage. After the median fold is made, the two sleeves are folded at the armhole by bringing them over diagonally as shown by the arrow in FIG. 2b to lay on top of the back half of the folded shirt which is shown in FIG. 2d. This folded garment is now laid lengthwise on the (upper or exterior surface) flexible sheet (1), and secured at the collar end by attaching it to a hanger clip or clamp (4) as shown in FIG. 2c. The waistline in the case of a trouser, skirt or a similar long length garment can be secured to the clip as well. The straps (7) on either side of the sheet (1) with buckles or clasps (8) at their free ends now encircle the garments, and when the buckles or clasps (8) are engaged keep the garments in place on the flexible sheet (1). This assembly is now gently placed inside the luggage such that the lower portion of the flexible sheet (1) and the garments on it rest on the inner side of the back panel (21) of the luggage. The garments (9 and 10) and the exterior surface of the flexible sheet (1) on which the garments lie, are oriented such that the garments face down as shown in FIG. 4c and abut the inner side of the back panel (21) of the luggage. The lower edge of the flexible sheet (1) is maneuvered to lies closet to the corner formed by the meeting of the back panel (21) and the lower side (18) if the luggage. The remaining upper portion of the flexible sheet (1) and the garments (9,10) lay outside the luggage at this stage as shown in FIG. 2a. Separately, and as shown in FIGS. 2a and 2b, trousers, skirts and similar long length garments (6) are laid flat and rolled on to the tube (5). The tube and the garments rolled over it is now placed on the inner smooth surface (facing upward) of the flexible sheet (1) inside the luggage and closest to the top side (23) of the luggage as shown in FIG. 4b. The top side is the side with the luggage handle and this side assumes the top position when the luggage is made upright for travel as shown in FIG. 4d. In the next step, also shown in FIG. 4b, a single or a plurality of toiletry receptacles (11) of a suitable sizes and shapes and miscellaneous items are placed towards the lower side (18) of the luggage, to snugly occupy the remainder of the space next to the tube (5) and the rolled garments (6). In this preferred packing process, this becomes the lower side when the luggage is made upright for travel. Following this, the flexible sheet (1) along with its attached garments (9 and 10) is now rolled or folded around the rolled garments (6) and the tube (5) as indicated by the arrow in FIG. 4b forming a large radius semi-circular curvature as shown in FIG. 4c. The curved portion of the sheet (1) is the approximate middle portion of the longitudinal length of the sheet, and the curved portion also abuts the top side (23) of the luggage as shown in FIG. 4c. The remaining portion (upper portion) of the flexible sheet (1) with the rod (2), clips (4) and the hook (3) attached to its top edge, and the garments (9, 10) on its exterior surface (now facing up) is laid flat to rest on the toiletry receptacles (11) and miscellaneous items. When the luggage cover or lid (22) is closed, as shown in FIG. 4c and FIG. 4d, the lower portion of the flexible sheet (1) is faces the inner side of back panel (21) of the luggage, the upper portion of the flexible sheet (1) faces the lid or the front panel (22), and the curved middle portion of the flexible sheet faces the inner top side (23) of the luggage as shown in FIGS. 4c and 4d. The upper and lower portions of the sheet (1) are flat and parallel, and the space between them is occupied by the toiletry receptacle (11) and miscellaneous items. The inner concave space formed by the curved middle portion of the sheet (1) is occupied by the rolled garments and the tube (5). The shirt and similar garments (9,10) secured to the sheet (1) lay in the space between the inside sides of the luggage and the exterior surface of the flexible sheet. When the luggage is in an upright position, the middle portion of the shirt garments remain on top of the convex (exterior) surface of the partially rigid flexible sheet (1), and by being supported by the rigidity of the flexible sheet (1) underneath, do not collapse down due to gravity. By this preferred arrangement of the contents, any significant creasing of the garments, or crushing of the contents is avoided.
[0056] The purposeful design to achieve a large radius curvature by the partially rigid flexible sheet (1) helps minimize the number of folds required in packing a shirt garment, limiting the folds and hence the creases to the least visible areas, thus eliminating a very common creasing problem seen with packing garments inside a luggage.
[0057] At destination, the unpacking process is easy, and involves only opening the luggage lid, moving the upper portion of flexible sheet to expose the rolled garments (6) and the toiletry receptacles (11) and miscellaneous items, removing these items out of the luggage, and lastly removing the flexible sheet with its attached garments as one single unit out of the luggage to be hung to a clothes rod by the hook (3). Since any additional creasing is avoided when the garments and the flexible sheet (1) are straightened and hung as one single unit, the garments can be left attached to the accessory until needed at a later time.
[0058] In an alternate embodiment, the hanging element (3) which is attached to the rod (2) in preferred embodiment, may be directly attached to the partially rigid flexible sheet (1). This hanging element (3) may also be used to secure the garment carrying accessory to the inside of a luggage if an attaching arrangement is provided by a luggage manufacturer.
[0059] In yet another embodiment, the buckles or clasps (8) may be substituted with Velcro or magnetic fasteners to secure the garments in place on the flexible sheet (1).
[0060] The description of the packing process and the contents while using the novel garment carrying accessory is a preferred method, however numerous variations in the contents, the placement of the contents and steps and a combination thereof exist in the packing process, and which may be found most convenient and efficient by each user and therefore adapted as such.
[0061] The advantages of the present invention are obvious and include easier packing and unpacking of garments into a luggage and arriving at destination with substantially crease (wrinkle) free clothing. Unpacking at destination is quick, and easily accomplished by removing the flexible sheet (1) together its attached garments, straight out of the luggage in one swoop to be hung on to a clothes rod with the hook. The garments can easily stay crease free while clipped to the flexible sheet for use at a later date, since the garments are folded only minimally to cause any substantial visible creasing. Additionally, the invention also avoids the problem of creasing and crumpling of the garments seen in traditional packing, when the garments collapse on one another and settle to the bottom of a luggage, when the luggage is placed upright for travel.
