Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

  (a) Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a protective bag and carrying shoulder, to wear and protect a surfboard. Essentially, the surfboard protective bag to wear over the shoulder of the present invention provides the functionality of rapid packaging and unpacking of the surfboard as well as transportation, and besides, it is advantageous to wear the surfboard. surf on the shoulder, and easy to be able to put it in storage, and so on, where the protective effectiveness of the surfboard is thus ensured.

(b) Description of the Prior Art

  The sport of surfing is quite different from water sports in general. It produces an intense attraction for a number of people. This sport makes it necessary to confront ocean waves of diverse and unpredictable nature, while surfing and sliding among great waves, thus making the sporting activity of surfing full of exciting sensations, encouraging the surfer to conquer waves.

  As a result, surf buffs and regularly go to surf spots around the world, to experience beaches and diverse environments directly with a variety of ocean waves.

  Almost all surfers usually have their favorite surfboard, which suits their own surfing habits. Therefore, when the surfer wearing the surfboard is heading for a beach, such a route may include driving a car, taking a bus, a train, a plane, a steamer, and so on, and inevitably a walk on a certain distance. During the transportation of the surfboard, it may be worn shoulder strap, be attached to the roof of an automobile or enclosed in a baggage cargo port. This can result in damage to the surfboard, including on outside points, breaks, deformations, and so on. The surfboard is a piece of sports equipment that is large but light in weight. Thus the weight of the surfboard does not create transport problems, but it is obvious that because of its size, damage to the surfboard can occur more easily because of other objects. In light of the effects mentioned above, the inventor of the present invention has actively conducted extensive research on the surfboard portability issues. Regarding the portability of the surfboard, the current markets provide a shoulder bag for surfboard made from fabrics, having an external appearance corresponding to the surfboard. This allows the surfboard to be arranged there, and to be worn by means of shoulder straps disposed on the shoulder bag. However, the shoulder bag is made of only one or two layers of fabric, which is not enough to perform a normal effective protection of the surfboard during different stages of transport, such as depositing the surfboard in a cargo of luggage, and so on. Situations will inevitably occur where the surfboard is pressed against another object, hit, or thrown, which may damage it.

  Other problems related to the use of existing surfboard shoulder bags are also evident, for example, when sand mixes with the zipper of the shoulder bag, the normal pull of open and zipper closure will be difficult. In addition, because of the absorbent material with which the shoulder bag is made, after coming into contact with seawater, the material produces a foul odor. Moreover, it is difficult to treat this material which is unpleasant for the surfer. In addition, the surface of a conventional shoulder bag is smooth and monotonous, and not proportionate to the "bold" and unrestrained nature of the surfer and the ocean, especially given the enormous size of the ocean. Therefore, when surfing wears the surfboard, extreme regret is shown if the shoulder bag does not show itself to be a unique and innovative three-dimensional model appropriate to the surfer's sporting activity.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

  Based on the research analysis of the above-mentioned existing problems, the inventor of the present invention has developed several proposals for the development of the product, and thus invested in researching and developing a cross-body surfboard bag and protection.

  A first object of the present invention is to provide a shoulder bag and protector for surfboard which has three-dimensional air-swollen ribs protecting the surfboard effectively during transport against any external forces.

  Another object of the present invention is to provide a shoulder bag and protective pad for surfboard which is easy to pack and unpack by means of a bag divided into three sections with hooks, buckles and loop strips which realize the whole attachment. Still another object of the present invention is to provide a surfboard bag and protective bag configured in a bag comprising three sections, which allows the shoulder bag to be easily extended for ventilation, and which does not not easily retain moisture that would otherwise produce foul smells.

  An additional object of the present invention is to provide a shoulder bag and protector for surfboard that uses three-dimensional air-swollen ribs to provide the protective shoulder bag with an ornament device. Moreover, a large area of the surfboard takes into account the diversification in the outer surfaces of the shoulder bag, providing for marketing and individual characteristics. Basically, the surfboard shoulder and protection bag of the present invention provides the functionality of rapid packing and unpacking of the surfboard as well as transportation, and besides, it is advantageous to wear the surfboard. surf on the shoulder, easy to put it in storage, with a certain efficiency to protect the surfboard. The present invention is structured to include three elements that can be locally inflated with air, with reinforcing ribs, namely a central element that protects a central section of the surfboard, and which after being bent forms the middle bag; two elements formed as triangular end side bags having protective effects of both ends of the surfboard, with detachable carrying straps. The present invention is characterized in that the central bag portion and the two end portions are made of a light material, provided with an impermeable film, and air-swollen ribs disposed on the edges of the medium and ends of the bag as well as on the surfaces of the outer ends of the bag. In addition, the hooks and loop strips, which can be connected together, are arranged on the opening edges of the shoulder bag, whereby the middle bag can be used to cover the central section of the surfboard. hooks and loop strips being used to attach all the openings of the central bag to the end bags.

  The end bags are used to wrap both ends of the surfboard, and the hooks and loop bands are used to tie together the mouth openings of the end bags with the openings of the ends of the center bag, realizing therefore the entire cover of the surfboard. In addition, the shoulder bag and protector for surfboard uses the inflated air ribs, placed on the outer edges and outer surfaces, to provide protection to the surfboard. Fastening rings are disposed on the upper edges of the bag middle, providing attachment with the mobile tie-down rings of the carrying straps, thereby allowing a user to use the carrying straps to lift and carry the board. surfboard on the shoulder. Moreover, because of the air-swollen ribs, the protection of the surfboard is thus ensured, and such protective packaging provided by the inflated air ribs makes it possible to stack the surfboard among the luggage without risk. damage.

  DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS With reference to FIGS. 1 and 3, which show the present invention depicting a shoulder and protection bag A, for a surfboard B, manufactured in three elements which can be locally inflated with air , and which serve as reinforcement for the ribs, supporting the shoulder bag and protection A. The shoulder bag and protective A 2878703 9 is structured to include a central element that protects a central section of the surfboard B. After have been folded, it forms the middle of the bag 10. Two elements form the sub-triangular ends 20 having protective effects of the two ends of the surfboard B, and detachable straps 30, allow the surfboard B d to be fully wrapped, allowing the wear on the shoulder, ensuring the portability of the surfboard B. Moreover, because of the air-swollen ribs, the protection of the A surfboard B is made, and such a protective package of the surfboard B provided by the air-bloated ribs allow the surfboard B to be stacked among the luggage without concern for damage. The features based on the configuration of the shoulder bag and surfboard protection A complete the entire structure of the surfboard B and are described below. The bag medium 10 and the bag ends 20 are made of lightweight material covered with an impermeable film, and the inflated air ribs 103 and 203, which can be inflated with air, have since expanded the borders 101 and 201 of the center of the bag 10 and the ends of the bag 20, and on the outer surfaces 102 and 202 respectively. In addition, the hook and the loop strips 105 and 205 can adhere and tie together; they extend on both sides of the openings 104 of the ends of the central bag 10 and the openings 204 of the end bag portions 20, respectively.

  Referring to Figs.2 and 3, which show a structure of the shell-shaped central bag 10, whereby a folding mode is used to cover the center section of the surfboard B, a pair of hooks and bands Loops 105 'are arranged separately on the corresponding inner surfaces of the two upper edges 106 and used to adhere to one another and thereby fasten together the upper edges 106 of the central bag 10 after the upper edges 106 have been gathered together, thereby making the cover of the surfboard B. Referring to Figure 1, to cover both ends of the surfboard B, the bag ends 20 each have the shape of an open mouth bag 204 Hooks and loop strips 205 are separately arranged on the outer sides of the openings 204 of each of the bag ends 20, making the fastening with the hook and the fastening loop of the adhesive tape 105 At both ends of the central bag 10, the shoulder bag and the protective bag 2878703 11 A are formed by a pair of side panels which encircle it and thereby cover the surfboard B (see FIG. 2).

  The fastening rings 107 are arranged on the upper edges 106 of the central bag 10, and provide the attachment with the movable attachment rings 301 of the conveyor belts 30. This allows a user to use the carrying belts 30 for lifting and carrying the entire surfboard B over his shoulder, comprising the central bag 10 and the end bags 20, thereby carrying the free transport of the surfboard B (see Fig. 4).

  The packaging of the surfboard B with the protective shoulder bag A is as follows: the two bag ends 20 are first threaded on both ends of the surfboard B (see Fig. 1). The central bag 10 is then used to cover the central section of the surfboard B (see Fig. 2), thereby allowing the openings of the ends 104 of the central bag 10 to cover the openings 204 of the bag ends 20, whereupon the hook and the loop band 105 of the center bag 10 are tied together with the hook and the loop attaches tape 205 to the bag ends 20. When attaching the carrying straps 30, the bag assembly Protective transport 2878703 12 is thus complete, and thereby realizes the cover of the surfboard B, achieving the portability and the protective effect of transporting the surfboard B. The inflated air ribs 103 and 203, inflate with air to form dampers. They are arranged on the peripheral edges of the central bag 10 and the end bags 20 and on the outer surfaces of the protective bag A, producing a protective effect for the surfboard B, even if stacked among the luggage. In addition, because of the air-inflated ribs 103 and 203 protecting the surfboard B, the surfboard B may be protected against damage by external forces during the course of the transport of the surfboard B. Protective shoulder bag A is a three section bag, central bag portion 10 and two end bag portions 20. The mutual attachment of the hooks and loop strips 105 and 205 is used for easy handling A protective shoulder bag A and to cover the surfboard B. In addition, the surfboard B is also very easily removed from the bag A. Since the protective shoulder bag A is made of a material impervious to the water, after unpacking the surfboard B, the 2878703 13 protective shoulder bag A can also be easily laid on the floor for airing. As a result, the protective shoulder bag A is easily cleaned, and does not readily retain moisture, which would otherwise produce foul odors.

  The air-swollen ribs 103 and 203 disposed on the peripheral edges of the central bag 10 and the end bags 20 and the outer surfaces are not only provided with effective protective dampers, but also the inflated air ribs 103 and 203 three-dimensional endow the protective shoulder bag A with an ornamental device. Referring to Figs.3 and 4, we see the different arrangements for the inflated air ribs 103 and 203, with their different visual effects. Various colors for the surfaces 102 and 202 of the protective shoulder bag A can also be used, thus giving the protective shoulder bag A sporty style of colorful design. In addition, due to the large size of surfboard B, separate trademarks may also be affixed by sponsors, thus allowing the display of logos.

  Apart from the aforementioned conventional surfboard shoulder bag A (and skimboard) 2878703, the protective shoulder bag of the present invention may also be used to apply to other related products, for example, a windsurf board, a snowboard, a kiteboard, a bodyboard, a wakeboard, a skimboard, etc. 2878703 15
