ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention is directed to bookbags and backpacks.
2. Description of the Background
Backpacks and bookbags have become the preferred mode of school children of all ages for transporting all manner of school books, school supplies, papers, projects, etc. The backpack or bookbag can be worn on the students back leaving the hands free. Backpacks and bookbags often have various pockets or compartments for carrying smaller items such as pencils, rulers, crayons, etc. The backpack or bookbag, by its very nature, provides a convenient means for transporting materials.
Recent events in which children have brought weapons or bombs into schools have caused many school systems to implement programs in which bookbags and backpacks must be passed through metal detectors or inspected prior to the student being allowed to bring them into school. School systems not haveing the money or manpower to implement such programs have banned backpacks and bookbags altogether. Thus, the need exists for a bookbag or backpack which provides all the traditional convenience of a backpack but does not raise any safety concerns.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is directed to a see-through bookbag or backpack. The backpack is comprised of a see-through backplate to which straps are attached. The backplate may be solid, or pliable, but should be of sufficient strength to enable the straps to be attached thereto in a manner to support the weight carried by the backpack. The remainder of the backpack may be constructed in the usual manner, but is constructed of see-through materials. According to another embodiment of the present invention, the remainder of the backpack is consturcted of see-through netting.
