BACKGROUND ART
It is often not prudent to leave valuable items, such a stereo equipment, video cameras, purses and the like in plain view in the passenger compartment of a vehicle or in areas such as the back floor of a sport utility vehicle. Once a potential thief identifies a desirable item, it is a simple matter for the thief to mash a window and quickly snatch the items prior to fleeing the cene. It would be desirable, therefore, to have a storage pack for vehicles that included a compartment that could be kept inside of a vehicle and within which various items could be concealed when not in use. Because it could be desirable to bring the items inside at night or when stopping at motels or the like during a trip, it would be a further benefit to have a storage pack for vehicles that included a handles on each of the sides to allow one or more persons to easily carry the storage pack from the vehicle to a storage location.
GENERAL SUMMARY DISCUSSION OF INVENTION
It is thus an object of the invention to provide a collapsible, storage pack for vehicles that includes four fabric pack side surfaces, a fabric pack bottom surface and a fabric pack top surface; the pack top surface having a straight zipper provided for access into a compartment that includes a locking fixture for locking the zipper tab of the straight zipper in a closed position with a luggage lock or the like; each of the four fabric pack side surfaces including according fold collapsible vertical side edges, a curved zipper for access into the compartment that includes a locking fixture for locking the zipper tab of the curved zipper in a closed position with a luggage lock or the like, and two fabric handles each having D-shaped portion defining a hand receiving opening.
Accordingly, a collapsible, storage pack for vehicles is provided. The collapsible, storage pack for vehicles includes four fabric pack side surfaces, a fabric pack bottom surface and a fabric pack top surface; the pack top surface having a straight zipper provided for access into a compartment that includes a locking fixture for locking the zipper tab of the straight zipper in a closed position with a luggage lock or the like; each of the four fabric pack side surfaces including according fold collapsible vertical side edges, a curved zipper for access into the compartment that includes a locking fixture for locking the zipper tab of the curved zipper in a closed position with a luggage lock or the like, and two fabric handles each having D-shaped portion defining a hand receiving opening.
