Description
RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0001] The present application is based on provisional application
No. 62/519,484.
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0002] The present invention relates to a reusable bag for moving,
carrying, and storing large and/or bulky objects such as
mattresses, box springs, furniture, furniture cushions, boxes, and
other large or bulky objects.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0003] Moving large or bulky objects such as mattresses without
damaging or soiling the object can be a problem. Large objects such
as mattresses are heavy, hard to get a good grip on, and cumbersome
to handle. Dragging large objects can result in tears or rips to
the exterior of such objects.
[0004] Certain mattress constructions provide handles or grips sewn
into the sides of the mattresses to facilitate positioning of the
same; however, with large heavy mattresses, the weight and the bulk
of the same often results in the handles tearing out of the
mattress construction; carrying a mattress by means of these
handles is not recommended by the manufacturers. In addition,
without an outer covering, there is no protection against soilage
or water damage.
