Tangle Free Laundry Bag

Abstract

A tangle free laundry bag is used to attach a piece of cloth inside for tangle free washing and/or drying. The tangle free laundry bag has one opening that allows a user to easily insert the laundry cloth to the bag interior. The bag includes two fasteners such as hook and loop fasteners mounted across the interior of the bag adjacent the opening. The fasteners are arranged in parallel to each other. A flap is extended from the back of the bag to cover the opening with a fastener such that the cloth is fully contained inside the bag and stays untangled during washing and/or drying. The tangle free laundry bag also offers multiple compartments in a single bag. This design allows the user to attach multiple clothes inside one tangle free laundry bag for washing and drying, during which the multiple clothes can stay secured inside the bag, thus, to avoid tangle. The tangle free laundry bag is made of heavy-duty mesh material and can be reused with a long service life. Further, the tangle free laundry bag offers a name tag that provides the user with convenience recognition of the tangle free laundry bag when used in a public or shared laundry facility.

DETAIL DESCRIPTIONS OF THE INVENTION

[0011] All illustrations of the drawings are for the purpose of describing selected versions of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0012] As can be seen in FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, the present invention a tangle free laundry bag that holds clothes during washing and drying processes without tangling. In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the tangle free laundry bag comprises a first end 10, a second end 11, a front 12, a back 13, a first side 14, a second side 15, at least one fastener 16, and a name tag 50. The second end 11 is a closed end, which connects the front 12 and back 13 by a means including, but not limited to, sawing, fastening using suitable fasteners, etc. The front 12 comprises a first edge 121 which is positioned opposite the second end 11. The first end 10, positioned adjacent the first edge 121 of the front 12, comprises a flap 101, an opening 102, and a plurality of fasteners 103. The flap 101 is connected to the back 13, and folds over the first edge 121 of the front 12. The at least one fastener 16 comprising a first portion 161 and a second portion 162. More specifically, the first portion 161 of the at least one fastener is positioned on the flap 101 and the second portion 162 of the at least one fastener is exteriorly positioned on the front 12 adjacent the opening of the first end 10. The at least one fastener 16 can include, but not limited to, hook and loop fastener, or any other suitable fasteners. The opening 102 can be fully covered by the flap 101 when the flap 101 is folded over onto the front 12 by engaging the first portion 161 and the second portion 162 of the at least one fastener 16. The plurality of fasteners 103 is positioned on the interior of the back 13 adjacent the flap 101. More specifically, each of the plurality of fasteners 103 is laterally attached across the back 13 and parallel to each other. The plurality of fasteners 103 is used to temporarily attach laundry clothing inside the present invention for washing and drying. In the preferred embodiment, the plurality of fasteners 103 includes the hook and loop fastener, wherein one part of the hook and look fastener is mounted on the interior of the back 13, and the other part is mounted on the laundry clothing. In other embodiments, the plurality of fasteners 103 include can include, but is not limited to, strap with a hoop and loop fastener on each end of the strap, strap with a button/hole fastener on the ends of the strap, strap with a buckle or clasp fastener on the ends of the strap, or any other suitable fastener. Thus, the plurality of fasteners 103 in these embodiments of the present invention secures the clothing for washing and drying inside the tangle free laundry bag through friction force when engaged and eliminates the attachment of any fastener onto the clothing to be washed and/or dried.

More specifically, the plurality of compartments 17 traverses longitudinally along the front 12 and may share the common back 13 and flap 101. The at least one interface 19 is longitudinally positioned along the shared side of any two of the plurality of compartments 17. The plurality of fasteners 18 is positioned across the at least one interface 19 to securely attach the plurality of compartments 17 together to the back 13. The at least one interface 19 is closed by engaging the plurality of fasteners 18. The plurality of fasteners 18 can include, but is not limited to, hook and loop faster, button, zipper, or any other suitable fasteners. In another embodiment of the present invention, the plurality of compartments 17 can be sewn together.
