BOTTLE BAG
A bottle bag includes a body made of neoprene-filled temperature-maintaining cloth. The body includes a front wall and a rear wall, delimiting a top opening and at least two compartments adapted to receive bottles. A bottom portion is fixed to a bottom end of the body and made of neoprene-filled temperature-maintaining cloth. The bottom portion includes at least two substantially circular sections and a neck section between a pair of the at least two substantially circular sections. The bottom portion of the bottle bag is flat enough to allow the bottle bag to stand on its own after the bottles have been placed into the compartments of the bottle bag while providing a longer temperature-maintaining effect.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a bag. More particularly, the present invention relates to a bottle bag for maintaining temperature of bottles received in the bottle bag.
2. Description of the Related Art
Bottles are used to contain various kinds of beverage. A typical wine bottle is substantially cylindrical and stored in a suitable temperature range.
In accordance with an aspect of the present invention, a bottle bag comprises a body made of neoprene-filled temperature-maintaining cloth. The body comprises a front wall and a rear wall, delimiting a top opening and at least two compartments adapted to receive bottles. A bottom portion is fixed to a bottom end of the body and made of neoprene-filled temperature-maintaining cloth. The bottom portion comprises at least two substantially circular sections and a neck section between a pair of the at least two substantially circular sections. The bottom portion of the bottle bag is flat enough to allow the bottle bag to stand on its own after the bottles have been placed into the compartments of the bottle bag. Further, a longer temperature-maintaining effect of the bottles can be obtained, for each bottle is in intimate contact with the bottom portion and the body of the bottle bag.
Preferably, the at least two compartments are separated from each other by a seam.
Preferably, the front wall and the rear wall of the body are sewn together along two lateral sides of the front wall and two lateral sides of the rear wall.
Preferably, the bottle bag further comprises a handle portion to allow easy carriage.
Preferably, the bottle bag further comprises means for releasably engaging the front wall and the rear wall of the body to allow easy opening and closing of the bottle bag.
Preferably, each substantially circular section has a diameter slightly smaller than that of a bottle received in an associated compartment for enhancing the temperature-maintaining effect.
Preferably, the body further comprises at least one pocket for receiving an opener, thermometer, cork, etc.
In accordance with an aspect of the present invention, a bottle bag comprises two bodies made of neoprene-filled temperature-maintaining cloth. Each body comprises a front wall and a rear wall, delimiting a top opening and at least two compartments adapted to receive bottles. The front wall of one of the bodies is engaged with the rear wall of the other body. Two bottom portions are respectively fixed to bottom ends of the bodies and made of neoprene-filled temperature-maintaining cloth. Each bottom portion comprises at least two substantially circular sections and a neck section between a pair of the at least two substantially circular sections.
Preferably, the at least two compartments of each body are separated from each other by a seam.
Preferably, the front wall and the rear wall of each body are sewn together along two lateral sides of the front wall and two lateral sides of the rear wall.
Preferably, the bottle bag further comprises a handle portion to allow easy carriage.
Preferably, the bottle bag further comprising means for releasably engaging the front wall and the rear wall of at least one of the bodies to allow easy opening and closing of the bottle bag.
Preferably, each substantially circular section of each body has a diameter slightly smaller than that of a bottle received in an associated compartment for enhancing the temperature-maintaining effect.
Preferably, at least one of the bodies further comprises at least one pocket for receiving an opener, thermometer, cork, etc.
Other objectives, advantages, and novel features of the invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

At least one pocket 38 may be provided on the body 31, preferably on an outer face of the body 31. An opener, thermometer, cork, etc can be placed in compartments 381 defined by the pockets 38.
In this embodiment, the body 31 of the bottle bag 4 comprises three compartments 35 for receiving three bottles 2. The bottom portion 32 of the bottle bag 4 comprises three substantially circular sections 321, with a neck section 322 formed between a pair of sections 322 adjacent to each other. A seam 34 is provided between and thus separates a pair of compartments 35 adjacent to each other.
It is noted that the hook and loop fasteners 37 can be replaced with other releasably engaged fasteners or other means, such as cords, buttons, or slide fasteners. The temperature-maintaining cloth may also include titanium or other material for enhancing the temperature-improving effect.
Although specific embodiments have been illustrated and described, numerous modifications and variations are still possible without departing from the essence of the invention. The scope of the invention is limited by the accompanying claims.
