Appl. No.:

10/214807

Inventors:

Valerie Jackson - Baltimore MD, US

International Classification:

B32B001/02

US Classification:

428/035500, 428/035200

Abstract:

Disclosed herein are disposable coverings for planar articles equipped with integral, detachable or non-detachable, refuse receptacles. The present invention generally comprises a rectangular top sheet that serves as the disposable covering and a bag-like refuse receptacle attached along either the underside or topside of the sheet. The top sheet and receptacle are typically fabricated of strong, plastic materials. The dimensions of the disposable covering may be varied to suit a wide range of applications and configurations (e.g. round or square top sheets may be utilized). The present invention's design is simple and straightforward, and can be economically manufactured and sold. In use, the refuse receptacle of the present invention is typically folded and tightly compressed with one end of the receptacle attached to the top sheet along a perforated seam. When it is time to dispose of that which is on the top sheet (e.g. in a picnic scenario, paper plates/cups/plastic tableware), the receptacle is pulled out from beneath the top sheet and opened. Each end of the top sheet may then be gathered up at the corners and rolled toward the receptacle, thereby retaining the aforementioned items. The top sheet and receptacle may then be separated along the perforated seam. The rolled up top sheet and the articles retained therein may then be placed within the receptacle, and the receptacle may be closed and sealed for disposal.

Abstract:

The luggage and air mattress combination is a wheeled luggage device including an upper compartment for storage of personal items. A lower compartment houses an inflatable mattress, which can be extended from the lower compartment and pumped up for use as a sleeping or lounging platform. A pump is housed in the luggage and connected to the mattress for inflation thereof. A backrest is also housed adjacent the lower compartment and is extracted therefrom for use. Pivotal arms are positioned adjacent the backrest to enhance the user's comfort. A canopy may be removably attached to the luggage to block out light from the surrounding area and add a modicum of privacy. An insulated liner may be provided for use in the upper compartment for the storage of food, if desired.
