Bag me i'm laundry and bag me i'm dry cleaning systems

Abstract

The laundry organization and storing system provides consumers with a simple way to separately store and transport different types of laundry. This system may feature a set of canvas bags labeled to indicate the types of laundry contained therein. Bags marked, “Bag Me, I'm Laundry” may hold garments that can be washed in traditional washing machines, while bags marked, “Bag Me, I'm Dry Cleaning” may hold garments that require special care, such as those requiring dry cleaning (only). Additionally, the bags can be customized with consumers' names, Greek symbols for fraternities or sororities, and other various personalizing embellishments such that they are identifiable as to who the owner is and as to what ‘type’ of clothes are held therein.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0012]In view of the foregoing disadvantages inherent in the known laundry art, the present invention provides a novel laundry organization and storing system. The general purpose of the present invention, which will be described subsequently in greater detail is to provide efficient organizing, storing and transporting means for laundry to protect laundered garments.

[0013]Bag Me (Bag Me I'm Laundry and Bag Me I'm Dry Cleaning) of the present invention provides consumers with a simple way to separately store and transport different types of laundry. This innovative product preferably features a set of canvas bags labeled to indicate the types of laundry contained therein. Bags marked, “Bag Me, I'm Laundry” may hold garments that can be washed in traditional washing machines, while bags marked, “Bag Me, I'm Dry Cleaning” may hold garments that require special care, such as dry cleaning. Additionally, the bags can be customized with consumers' names, Greek symbols for fraternities or sororities, and other various personalizing embellishments. This product may be ideal for college students, parents, busy professionals, and other similar individuals.

[0016]The first exterior surface is connected to itself (stitching or other suitable fastening means) about at least one edge to form at least one first interior volume. The first grommet is inserted into the first exterior surface in the first drawstring sleeve providing access to the first drawstring cord and to prevent tearing of the first drawstring sleeve. The first string cord lock is preferably comprised of high-impact polymer and is located on the first drawstring cord and is usable to control movement of and lock the first drawstring cord in a desired position(ing). The first carry strap allows a user to carry the first bag assembly to and from a laundry facility; (the first and second carry strap may comprise a hanger (hanging means for use in closets, locker rooms or the like). The carry strap(s) preferably comprise heavy-duty nylon webbing in preferred embodiments.

[0017]The first identifier logo may comprise screen printing (printed indicia) across a first front portion of the first exterior surface of the first bag body such that the first bag assembly comprises indicia “Bag Me, I'm Laundry” such that a user is on alert to insert only water-laundry-only-garments and to only water-wash the water-laundry-only-garments contained therein. The first identifier logo denotes that water-laundry-only-garments are contained within such that the user is able to easily visually differentiate the first bag assembly from the second bag assembly such that delicate clothes and normal clothes do not become inter-mixed and subsequently ruined by an improper cleaning action.

[0019]The second grommet is inserted into the second exterior surface in the second drawstring sleeve providing access to the second drawstring cord and to prevent tearing of the second drawstring sleeve; wherein first and second grommet(s) preferably comprise rust-proof material such as brass (stainless steel, aluminum, plastic or other suitable materials may also be used.) It is preferred that the second string cord lock is comprised of high-impact polymer and is located on the second drawstring cord and is usable to control movement of and lock the second drawstring cord in a preferred position. The carry strap allows a user to carry the second bag assembly to and from a dry-cleaning facility.

Problems solved by technology

These garments typically absorb odors and may become soiled during use.

Cleaning may be accomplished via machine washing and / or by dry cleaning; however if the garments (clothing) are accidentally improperly washed, they can become ruined and may need to be replaced which may be expensive and create an inconvenience.

At present, consumers may have difficulty finding places to store dirty laundry.

Laundry hampers may take up considerable amounts of space, and may only have one compartment for holding dirty clothing, potentially causing delicate clothes to be mixed with regular clothing.

Clothes that are left strewn on the floor can also become mixed up.

Consumers may be required to sort each garment prior to washing to ensure that clothes are not improperly cared for, which can be a very tedious and time-consuming task.

The majority of individuals use laundry baskets which may work well for in-home usage, but are not practical for instances when garments need to be transported between locations for example to the dry cleaners or the laundry mat.
