Vehicle reusable bag

Abstract

A vehicle reusable bag, the bag having a sack which is plastic lined. The first sack has hook and loop sack attachment means attached to the back side of the sack. The hook and loop sack attachment means attach to a hook and loop receiving means that attach to the inner side of a vehicle cab. The bag further has the first pocket attached to the front side of the sack. The first pocket attaches to the sack so that the top of the first pocket material runs adjacent to the open top side of the sack, and the three sides of the first pocket material not running along the open top side of the sack are fixedly attached to the sack. The vehicle reusable bag is used to store materials that otherwise would be loose within a vehicle, e.g., trash, receipts, food, or vomit.

Description

BACKGROUND

The present invention is a reusable disposable bag that is used within the cab of an automobile.

The inventor conceived the invention while driving her vehicle. While driving her vehicle, she realized that there was no place to dispose of trash within her moving vehicle without creating a mess or a hazard. Inertia within her moving vehicle caused the trash to shift from one position of her vehicle to another when turning or breaking. If she was lucky, the inertia effect would only create a mess within her vehicle. If she was unlucky, the inertia effect created flying hazards within her vehicle.

The inventor then realized that she had to invent a holder for loose items within her vehicle. She remembered that at one time she used a cubed trash can that was placed within her seats. She further remembered that the cube was effective in holding the trash while the vehicle was parked, but when the vehicle moved, the cube was easily displaced, thereby spilling any trash within her vehicle.

The holder had to be securely attached to the inside of her vehicle, yet had to be easily removed from vehicle to allow for the dumping of objects within the holder. She knew that she had to create a way of attaching the holder to the automobile so that inertia within her moving vehicle would not spill items within the holder into her vehicle. After much thought, she realized that she had to use a sack and hook and loop attachment materials to design her current invention.

An objective of the present invention is to provide a vehicle trash holder that will not spill when turning or stopping a vehicle.

Another objective of the present invention is to provide a reusable vehicle trash bag.

Yet a further object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle with a holder that can be used to receive a child's vomit.

Another objective of the present invention is to provide a vehicle trash holder that can also hold other items within a separate compartment.

SUMMARY

The present invention is directed to a reusable vehicle bag that attaches to a vehicle via hook and loop fastener materials.

The reusable vehicle bag has at least two compartments, the first compartment is plastic lined and the second compartment is placed on top of the first compartment so that the bottom edge of the second compartment is no less than three inches from the top edge of the first compartment. Both compartments run parallel to each other. The second compartment can also be plastic lined. The reusable vehicle bag must have at least two hook and loop fasteners attached to the back side, the side not having the second compartment attached, and the vehicle wherein the reusable vehicle bag is used must have a hook and loop receiving means attached within the cab of the vehicle.

DESCRIPTION

As shown in FIGS. 1-3, a vehicle reusable bag 10, comprising a sack 12, the sack having an open top side 12a, a closed bottom side 12b, a closed left side 12c, a closed right side 12d, a front side 12e, and a back side 12f, the sack 12 further comprising an inner plastic liner 14 disposed within the sack 12, the inner plastic liner 14 being attached to the closed sides 12b, 12c, 12d of the sack 12, a first pocket material 16, the first pocket material 16 having a top side 16a, a bottom side 16b, a left side 16c, and a right side 16d, the left side 16c of the first pocket material 16 fixedly attached to the left side of the sack 12c at a position wherein the top side of the sack 12 a is adjacent to the top side of the pocket material 16a, the bottom side of the first pocket material 16b fixedly attached to the front side of the sack 12e, and the right side of the first pocket material 16d fixedly attached to the right side of the sack 12d at a position wherein the top side of the sack 12a is adjacent to the top side of the pocket material 16a, the first pocket material 16 and the sack 12 thereby forming a first pocket, at least two of hook and loop sack fasteners 18 attached to the back side of the sack 12f, each hook and loop sack fastener 18 attached to the sack 12 so that each sack fastener 18 runs parallel to the left 12c and right 12d sides of the sack 12, a hook and loop receiving means 20 attached within a vehicle's cab, wherein the hook and loop receiving means 20 receives the hook and loop sack fasteners 18 of the sack 12.

As seen in FIG. 2, the invention can further comprise of having a second liner 22 attached within the first pocket.

As Seen in FIGS. 1-7, the present invention can further comprise of a second pocket 24 being attached to the front of the sack 12e. The second pocket 24 is used to house a cellular telephone or any other similar sized object.

As seen in FIG. 8-9, the two hook and loop sack fasteners 18 of the present invention might also be attached to the back side of the sack 12f so that each hook and loop sack fastener 18 runs perpendicular to the left 12c and right sides 12d of the sack 12 and one of the hook and loop fasteners 18 runs adjacent to the open end of the sack 12a and the other hook and loop sack fastener 18 runs adjacent to the bottom side 12b of the sack 12.

The sacks of the present invention are made of materials known in the art of bags.

The present invention is made using techniques known in the art of purse making.

The present invention is used by first placing a hook and loop receiving means within the cab of a vehicle, then placing the hook and loop fasteners of the reusable vehicle bag on the hook and loop receiving means of the vehicle, and lastly, by disposing items within the reusable vehicle bag.

An advantage of the present invention is that it provides a vehicle trash holder that does not spill when turning or stopping a vehicle.

Another advantage of the present invention is that it provides a reusable vehicle trash bag.

Yet a further advantage of the present invention is that it provides a vehicle with a holder that is used to receive a child's vomit.
