DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] Detailed descriptions of the preferred embodiment are provided herein. It is to be understood, however, that the present invention may be embodied in various forms. Therefore, specific details disclosed herein are not to be interpreted as limiting, but rather as a basis for the claims and as a representative basis for teaching one skilled in the art to employ the present invention in virtually any appropriately detailed system, structure or manner.

[0030] The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. As used herein, the term and/or includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items. As used herein, the singular forms a, an, and the are intended to include the plural forms as well as the singular forms, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It will be further understood that the terms comprises and/or comprising, when used in this specification, specify the presence of stated features, steps, operations, elements, and/or components, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, steps, operations, elements, components, and/or groups thereof.

[0031] The present invention is directed to provide a bag specially designed for travelers, wherein the bag includes an attachable and adjustable inflatable pillow for sleeping and resting on during a flight or road trip and specialized pockets to carry stuff conveniently.

[0032] The present invention aims to solve the technical problems which were faced by travelers. Usually, travelers carry a pillow with them during traveling so they can relax. The current bag provides a bag with an inflatable pillow allowing the user to inflate it whenever required. Furthermore, the bag provides an innovative design with multiple compartments to store things in an arranged manner. The bag includes a padded laptop compartment, USB charging compartment, and a special area designed to receive the water bottles. Furthermore, it also has a compartment to receive smart devices like iPad or laptops and provides a comfortable display.

[0033] The backpack comprises a main body; a front portion; a back portion; a first connector member; and a second connector member. The main body includes a top portion including a first end portion and a second end portion. The second end portion is located opposite the first end portion. The front portion includes an elongated slit therethrough and a detachable connector member extending along a length of said slit and adapted to selectively open and close said slit. Wherein the back portion is attached to the front portion and forms an interior volume therebetween.

[0034] The pillow of the invention includes an inflatable chamber that may be inflated to the required degrees of firmness and/or thickness, to provide particular support as desired by an individual. This enables fewer different pillow constructions to be manufactured and inventoried and enables an individual to virtually custom fit a pillow to his or her particular desires or needs. Further, when the pillow is to be placed in storage, or while traveling, it may be deflated and folded or rolled to occupy a minimal amount of space.

[0035] As per its further embodiments, the pillow of the invention comprises an inner chamber that can be inflated to the required degrees of firmness. Further, an outer removable covering of soft, fibrous material may be placed over the bladder for improved comfort. This cover may comprise spaced sheets of material such as cotton, or rayon, or the like, between which is a layer of soft foamed material or other synthetic material, or feathers, or the like. A zipper or other suitable fastening means at one end of the cover enables it to be applied to and removed from the inflatable bladder when desired. The inflatable pillow is located in a compartment in the back of the backpack for storage. The pillow sticks to the back of the backpack with Velcro to be secure and also it can be positioned the way the individual wants for maximum comfort. Furthermore, the inflatable pillow is stored in its compartment on the back of the backpack.

[0036] A valve is associated with each separate chamber of the pillow to enable air to be introduced through the valve into the chamber to inflate it, or released through the valve to deflate the chamber. The valves may comprise valves of conventional construction such as those found on inflatable air mattresses, toys, and the like. When it is desired to store the pillow, the valve can be opened to permit the air to escape, whereby the pillow may be flattened and rolled or folded into a very compact size, thereby making it convenient to store or to carry along when traveling.

[0037] The bag as per its further embodiments will include a flexible board that's hidden inside a concealed pocket inside the backpack that promotes the support needed for an individual while using the backpack to rest or sleep and it also keeps the individual not falling to the left or right while using the backpack to rest or sleep. Furthermore, a waist belt allows to secure the backpack to the body of the individual so the backpack will support the user or individual. The straps of the waist belt are equipped with finger grips to make it easy for individuals to fasten the belt around the individual waist. The padded strap on top of the backpack is used to secure and lock the hands around the backpack while hugging it to rest or sleep.

[0038] While a specific embodiment has been shown and described, many variations are possible. With time, additional features may be employed. The particular shape or configuration of the platform or the interior configuration may be changed to suit the system or equipment with which it is used.

[0039] Having described the invention in detail, those skilled in the art will appreciate that modifications may be made to the invention without departing from its spirit. Therefore, it is not intended that the scope of the invention be limited to the specific embodiment illustrated and described. Rather, it is intended that the scope of this invention be determined by the appended claims and their equivalents.

[0040] The Abstract of the Disclosure is provided to allow the reader to quickly ascertain the nature of the technical disclosure. It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims. In addition, in the foregoing Detailed Description, it can be seen that various features are grouped together in various embodiments for the purpose of streamlining the disclosure. This method of disclosure is not to be interpreted as reflecting an intention that the claimed embodiments require more features than are expressly recited in each claim. Rather, as the following claims reflect, inventive subject matter lies in less than all features of a single disclosed embodiment. Thus, the following claims are hereby incorporated into the Detailed Description, with each claim standing on its own as a separately claimed subject matter.
