  • Patent number: 4337812
    Abstract: A combined picnic bag and tablecloth for use in organizing and carrying silverware, plates, and the like, transporting food and drink, and which also serves as a table cover. A pliable cover of appropriate size and shape is formed with a compartmented storage pocket substantially at the center of one surface. A flap having storage compartments on both its sides is hingedly attached to the pocket and folds over the pocket to secure in place the items stored within the pocket and flap compartments. A hem around the perimeter of the cover contains a draw cord that when grasped and pulled forms the cover into a bag for carrying food and beverages. Loops of the drawn cord serve as handles for carrying the bag. The cover is provided with a stiffening member and a padded section in way of the cover pocket. The stiffener member and padded section become the bottom of the bag and provide a protected base and storage form for the bag.
