Patent number: 5803328Abstract: The bag includes a cylindrical portion for a water bottle and a parallelepiped portion for food such as energy bars. Such shapes minimize the size of the bag and hence its weight and air resistance. The bag is elongate to maximize its size yet minimize air resistance. The tethers or straps which connect the bag to the aerobar extend from each of the receptacle portions to support such independently and are disposed at different levels so as to attach to portions of the bar which are oblique relative to each other. One tether or strap is connectable to the conventional handle bar to minimize longitudinal movement of the bag, while the other tethers or straps minimize lateral movement. The straps are adjustable in length to accommodate different aerobars of different widths. The cylindrical bag portion includes a perimeter portion drawable about such cylindrical bag portion to keep an article such as a water bottle tightly in such receptacle portion.Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 1997Date of Patent: September 8, 1998Inventor: Toshikazu Nakahara
