BACKGROUND

It is an objective of the present invention to provide a duffle bag for use on a boat. There are one or more heater hose inserts (or openings) on each side. The one or more heater hose inserts may be inserted with one or more heater hoses of a boat. The one or more heater hoses may blow in hot air. The hot air fills in the duffle bag, thereby warming the surrounding environment.

To minimize the limitations in the prior art, and to minimize other limitations that will be apparent upon reading and understanding the present specification, the present invention describes a heated duffel bag/backpack which can also be used to warm the towels, clothes or anything that is placed inside the heated Duffel bag or backpack while boating or after enjoying watersports in a water body such as a lake, ocean or a river. The heated duffel bag/backpack, described in the present invention, has been designed to keep the items inside the heated duffel bag and backpack warm on a boat during the boating or after enjoying watersports.

It is another objective of the present invention to provide the heated duffel bag/backpack that may be fed with heat (i.e., the hot air) from one or more boat's retractable hoses or pipes that are connected to a boat's heater system.

These and other advantages and features of the present invention are described herein with specificity so as to make the present invention understandable to one of ordinary skill in the art, both with respect to how to practice the present invention and how to make the present invention.

The present invention relates in general to duffel bags/backpack, and, more particularly, to heated duffel bags/backpack for warming purposes. The duffel bags/backpack are heated using thermal heating from one or more heater hoses of a boat. The present invention describes the heating boat duffel bag/backpack for warming the user's towels, clothes and other items that shall be inside the bag while boating or after enjoying watersports in a water body such as a lake, ocean or a river. The heated boat duffel bag/backpack, described in the present invention, has been designed to keep the user's towels, clothes and other items that shall be inside the bag warm on a boat during the boating or after enjoying watersports.

Before describing the present invention in detail, it should be observed that the present invention utilizes a combination of components, which constitutes the heating duffel bag/backpack for warming the user's towels, clothes and other items that shall be inside the bag warm in a boating or surfing environment. Accordingly, the components have been represented, showing only specific details that are pertinent for an understanding of the present invention so as not to obscure the disclosure with details that may be readily apparent to those with ordinary skill in the art having the benefit of the description herein. As required, the detailed embodiments of the present invention are disclosed herein; however, it is to be understood that the disclosed embodiments are merely exemplary of the invention, which can be embodied in various forms. Therefore, specific structural and functional details disclosed herein are not to be interpreted as limiting, but merely as a basis for the claims and as a representative basis for teaching one skilled in the art to variously employ the present invention in virtually any appropriately detailed structure. Further, the terms and phrases used herein are not intended to be limiting but rather to provide an understandable description of the invention.

It is not exhaustive and does not limit the invention to the precise form disclosed Modifications and variations are possible in light of the above teachings or may be acquired from practicing of the invention, without departing from the breadth or scope.

The heated duffel bag/backpack of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, which should be regarded as merely illustrative without restricting the scope and ambit of the present invention.

FIG. 1 illustrates a heated duffel bag/backpack assembly 101 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. The duffel bag/backpack assembly 101 illustrates a duffel bag/backpack 101. The duffel bag/backpack 101 includes one or more hose inserts or openings such as a hose insert 102. There is further shown a boat heater hose 103 of a boat. The boat heater hose 103 is removably attached or connected to a retractable heating hose or pipe 104.

In an embodiment, the nylon used in the top layer is a ripstop nylon with heat reflective silver PU 4× coating on the back. In the prior art, the hot air would leak through the nylon layer, however with the adding of the reflective silver PU 4× coating to the nylon in the present invention, it blocks the heat and directs all heat towards the items in the bag through the nylon or PU 4× coating.

FIG. 2 illustrates a front view 201 of the heated duffel bag/backpack 101 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. The front view 201 illustrates the top layer of the duffel bag/backpack 202 that is made up of a material called nylon. The nylon is the ripstop nylon with heat reflective silver PU 4× coating on its back. The adding of the reflective silver PU 4× coating to the nylon blocks the heat and directs all heat towards the items in the bag through the nylon or PU 4× coating.

In an embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the hose insert 203 is located at the bottom of the heated duffel bag/backpack. In an exemplary scenario, the hose is fitted with the retractable heating hose 204 for blowing in the hot air. In this scenario, the other hose insert 205 is kept close so as to disallow the hot air to escape through.

FIG. 3 illustrates a rear view 301 of the duffel bag/backpack 101, according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. The rear view 302 illustrates the bottom layer of the duffel bag/backpack 101 that is made up of a material called nylon 203
