Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0001] 1. Field of the Invention
[0002] The present invention relates to a bag and more
particularly, to a cooler bag, which can be carried on the user's
shoulder to keep things cool.
[0003] 2. Description of the Related Art
[0004] Modern people do care much about travel and recreational
activities. When going outside for a recreational activity, people
usually will carry beverage, ice creams, and many other
low-temperature food products. For keeping beverage, ice creams and
low-temperature food products cool, a cooler box may be used.
However, conventional cooler boxes for this purpose are commonly
heavy, not suitable for carrying by a person for a long period.
Further, regular bags that are used for carrying things on the
shoulder do not provide temperature-keeping or waterproof
function.
[0005] Therefore, it is desirable to provide a cooler bag that
eliminates the aforesaid drawbacks.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0006] The present invention has been accomplished under the
circumstances in view. It is the main object of the present
invention to provide a cooler bag, which is waterproof and can be
carried on a person's shoulder comfortably for a long period to
keep things cool. It is another object of the present invention to
provide a cooler bag, which is provided with speakers for voice
output from a mobile music player stored therein. To achieve these
and other objects of the present invention, the cooler bag is
comprised of a bag body and a storage bag fastened to the outside
wall of the bag body. The bag body comprises an outer plastic
shell, a waterproof inner plastic shell, a sponge layer stuffed in
between the outer plastic shell and the waterproof inner plastic
shell, a tin foil thermal isolation layer set in between the sponge
layer and the waterproof inner plastic shell, two shoulder straps
fastened to the outer plastic shell at two opposite sides by which
the cooler bag is carried on a person's shoulder, and a top cover
panel hinged thereto and openably sealed with a zip fastener. The
storage bag is provided with speakers and an earphone plug cable
for the connection of a mobile music player for voice output.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0007] FIG. 1 is an elevational view in an opened status of a
cooler bag in accordance with the present invention.
[0008] FIG. 2 corresponds to FIG. 1, showing the storage bag and
the top cover panel closed.
[0009] FIG. 3 is a sectional view in an enlarged scale of a part of
the cooler bag in accordance with the present invention.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
[0010] Referring to FIGS. 1-3, a cooler bag in accordance with the
present invention is shown comprised of a bag body 1 and a storage
bag 2.
[0011] The bag body 1 comprises an outer plastic shell 11, a
waterproof inner plastic shell 14, a sponge layer 12 stuffed in
between the outer plastic shell 11 and the waterproof inner plastic
shell 14, a tin foil thermal isolation layer 13 set in between the
sponge layer 12 and the waterproof inner plastic shell 14, two
shoulder straps 10 fastened to the outer plastic shell 11 at two
opposite sides by which the cooler bag can be carried on the user's
shoulder, and a top cover panel 16 hinged thereto and openably
sealed with a zip fastener 15. The top cover panel 16 has an
opening 19, a lid 18 hinged to one side of the opening 19 and
adapted to close the opening 19, and hook and loop materials 17 for
securing the lid 18 in the close position. When the zip fastener 15
is fastened up to close top cover panel 16, the user can open the
lid 18 and access to the inside space of the bag body 1 through the
opening 19. The storage bag 2 is fixedly fastened to the bag body 1
for keeping things. Further, the storage bag 2 is provided with two
speakers 20 and an earphone plug cable 21 for the connection of a
mobile music player, for example MP3 player 22 for voice output
from the MP3 player 22 through the speakers 20 via the earphone
plug cable 21.
[0012] When in use, the user can unfasten the zip fastener 15 to
open the top cover panel 16, and then put cooler bags, ice cubes,
food products, etc. in the bag body 1, and then fasten up the zip
fastener 15 to close the top cover panel 16. Further, a MP3 player
22 or the like can be received in the storage bag 2 and
electrically connected with its earphone jack to the earphone plug
cable 21. By means of the shoulder straps 10, the user can carry
the cooler bag on the shoulder. The tin foil thermal isolation
layer 13 prohibits dispersion of low temperature. The waterproof
inner plastic shell 14 prevents a leakage of water. Therefore, the
enclosed inside space of the bag body 1 is kept cool, and the low
temperature or condensed water in the bag body 1 does not affect
the speakers 20 or storage items in the storage bag 2.
[0013] A prototype of cooler bag has been constructed with the
features of FIGS. 1.about.3. The cooler bag functions smoothly to
provide all the features discussed earlier.
[0014] Although a particular embodiment of the invention has been
described in detail for purposes of illustration, various
modifications and enhancements may be made without departing from
the spirit and scope of the invention. Accordingly, the invention
is not to be limited except as by the appended claims.
