Description
[0001] This application claims the benefit of provisional patent
application Ser. No. 60/733,236, filed Nov. 4, 2005 by the present
inventor.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION & PRIOR ART
[0002] Although everyone wears shoes it seems as though people are
now keeping a much larger wardrobe of boots. Boots seem to hold a
lure and fascination for women and men. Manufacturers of boots have
not acknowledged the need for attractive, affordable and effective
storage for boots. The purchase box itself for years been the means
for boot storage.
[0003] Several types of boot storage systems have been
manufactured; for example there are the international, Japan
publication numbers; JP10264926 to Hasegawa Yukio (1998); CA2467234
to Graham Felix, (2005) and U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,779,743 to Jack
McKinnon (1988); 4,881,637 to Peters, Melton and Prescott (1989);
4,953,715 to Giuliano Cell (1990); and 5,881,932 to Michael M.
Wadden (1999). All these inventors had wonderful inventions
although some would have been expensive to manufacture.
[0004] There is a boot storage systems that take ups a great deal
of space. This same system does not effectively protect the boot or
accessory from dirt and moisture.
[0005] Storage apparatus for boots should not pose any possible
danger to children or pets. There should be no screws, hooks or
rods that extend from the base.
[0006] One such boot storage apparatus is of excessive weight
without the boot and shoe stored on it, and once boots are stored
it becomes top heavy unless mounted to a wall.
[0007] Boxes for boots are cumbersome, unattractive, and usually
hidden under the bed, closet, or basement. Boots kept in said boxes
do not allow an individual to know which pairs of boots are
stored
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0008] This invention is an innovative and improved approach to an
old problem of boot storage in an effective, attractive reusable
and affordable manner. I claim;
[0009] This storage bag is produced from semi thick polyurethane
which is sturdy and has a wire outer rim that is manufactured by
various companies in the miscellaneous manufacturing
industries.
[0010] This storage bag is a fully enclosed bag that is designed
specifically for the storage of boots further including
accessories.
[0011] Boots are kept in pairs, in a transparent, fully closed bag
that will stand or stack for easy storage.
[0012] When packing luggage this bags flexibility allows you to
pack a couple of pairs of boots in you suitcase without dirtying
your clothing.
[0013] This bag itself is has a sturdy handle it can be used as
carry on luggage via airport, bus or car along with any needed
accessory.
[0014] When you store your pairs of boots, it will save time and
eliminate the hassle of locating a single match or pair of
boots.
[0015] The usual corner and closet clutter will be eliminated as
well the boot bulk in storage containers.
