Description
~Wo 95/31914 2 1 ~ 1 1 9 6 Pcrl[7S9Sl07264 NEWSPAPER AND MA~AZINL PROTE:CTIVE CARRYING POUCH
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The invention relate generally to the field of bookbags, briefcases and other similar protective cases. More specifically, the invention is a specially sized and shaped pouch for carrying magazines, newspapers, and similar sized items. The pouch protects the newspaper from the f~1 Gmf~n~
while protecting the consumer from the newspaper ink.
Additionally, the pouch provides an additional medium for advertising investment. ~ethods that involve, for instance, placing the newspaper within a brief case prevent the user from c~uick and easy access to the newspaper while traveling on public transportation systems.
It is thought that the pouch may find utility by being sold in connection with newspapers, magazines, etc. that are typically distributed near commuter transportation centers.
Mass transportation travelers have need for the day ' s news and a device that protects those items from the elements would come in handy. Advertising indicia may be placed on the sides of the pouch. The use of padded walls in the pouch provides a pillow for the subway commuter. While construction materials may vary in accordance with the intended market, cheaper materials may be used where the pouches are distributed directly at newspaper stand or outlets along commuter routes.
PRIOR ART
while there are brief cases and other similar items, no carrying case that applicant is aware of is adapted for carrying newspapers, magazines and similarly sized articles.
SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) Wo 95/31914 2 ~ ~ 1 1 g 6 . ~ ' /,64 Nor is it believed that there are any such carrying bags that have padded material for the device doubling as a pillow.
SIlMMARY OF THE INVENTION
A carrying pouch open ended on both sides and made of leather, paper, cardboard, plastic or similar materials sized to enclose a magazine or newspaper for protection from the elements. Scoring lines running parallel to the sides of the case enable the user to size the pouch to fit the width of the newspaper held therein. The device may also use a reclosable strap that encircles the carrying pouch portion.
other options include a padded side wall for comfort and/or interior rollers=to facilitate the removal of the newspaper.
It is an objective of the invention to provide a weather-resistant pouch for holding r-~7in~, newspapers and other such articles.
Another objective is to provide a unique advertising medium for attracting national advertisers to thus generate additional revenue for the newspaper industry.
Yet another obj ective is to provide a pouch to protect consumers from ink from nC~ d~ and r-~7in!~c transferring onto clothing or hands during ~1 a~ ation .
Still another objective is to provide a means to encourage ~he recycling of newspapers.
Yet ano~her objective of the invention is ~o provide a newspaper carrying pouch that may be used as a pillow for the subway commuter who may typically use the present invention.
