Separable storage bag for mobile audio-video components

Abstract

The present invention is a storage bag for mobile audio-video components that is separable and detachable. One portion of the bag can store a video screen while the other portion of the bag can store a DVD or videocassette player. The two portions of the bag are separable by a zipper that goes the entire distance around the bag. The two main compartments of the bag contain means to secure the stored items. The separable bag allows for the apparatus to be used while a motor vehicle is in motion. The video screen can be attached to the back of a headrest, or even the center console.

1 . An apparatus to store and carry mobile audio-video components, comprising: 
 a first compartment adapted to store a video screen;    a second compartment adapted to store a video player;    wherein the two compartments are connectable to form a single storage unit in a manner that protects the audio-video components; and    wherein the two compartments are distinct and completely separable for operation of the audio-video components.    
   
   
       2 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the video screen is secured into the one compartment using a method selected from the group consisting of Velcro®, snaps, ties or zippers.  
   
   
       3 . The apparatus of  claim 2 , wherein the first compartment further comprises mounting means permitting attachment to a headrest or center console of a vehicle.  
   
   
       4 . The apparatus of  claim 3 , wherein said mounting means are selected from the group consisting of Velcro®, snaps, ties or zippers.  
   
   
       5 . A mobile audio-video system comprising: 
 a storage case having a first and second compartment and connecting means between said first and second compartments;    a video display located within said first compartment;    a video player located within said second compartment;    wherein said storage case is a single unit when said connecting means are closed; and    wherein said first and second compartments can be separated from each other when said connecting means are open.    
   
   
       6 . The system of  claim 5 , wherein the video player is a videocassette player.  
   
   
       7 . The system of  claim 5 , wherein the video player is a DVD player.  
   
   
       8 . The system of  claim 5 , wherein the video player is secured into the second compartment using a method selected from the group consisting of Velcro®, snaps, ties or zippers.  
   
   
       9 . The system of  claim 5 , wherein the video player and the video screen are connected by wires, and further comprising an opening in one or more of said compartments for the routing of said wires.  
   
   
       10 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising power adapter means for connecting said video player and video screen to a power source.  
   
   
       11 . The system of  claim 10 , wherein the power source is an automobile.  
   
   
       12 . The system of  claim 5 , further comprising means on said first compartment for securing said first compartment to a head rest or center console of a vehicle.  
   
   
       13 . The system of  claim 5 , wherein said video player and video screen may be operated with said first and said compartments in a partially connected state, wherein said connecting means are not fully closed and not fully closed.
