Carrying case and methods of use thereof

Abstract

A carrying case is disclosed. The carrying case generally includes a first body and a second body. The first body includes a first reservoir and the second body includes a second reservoir. The first and second reservoirs are provided with at least one opening to provide access to the same. The first reservoir provides for the containment and storage of at least a first component and the second reservoir provides for the containment and storage of at least a second component. Closure mechanisms can be formed with the openings to provide for closure of the openings. A holding strap is included.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A carrying case, the carrying case comprising:
 a first body comprising a first opening defining a first reservoir therein; and   a second body coupled to the first body, the second body comprising a second opening defining a second reservoir therein.   
     
     
         2 . The carrying case of  claim 1 , wherein the first reservoir provides for the containment of a chair. 
     
     
         3 . The carrying case of  claim 1 , wherein the second reservoir provides for the containment of at least one container. 
     
     
         4 . The carrying case of  claim 3 , wherein the at least one container comprises a consumable liquid contained therein. 
     
     
         5 . The carrying case of  claim 2 , wherein the chair is collapsible between an expanded configuration and collapsed configuration. 
     
     
         6 . The carrying case of  claim 5 , wherein the chair can be in the form of a camp chair, a travel chair, and/or a foldable chair. 
     
     
         7 . The carrying case of  claim 1 , wherein the second body is provided with an insulative material for substantially reducing the transfer of heat to and/or from the second reservoir. 
     
     
         8 . The carrying case of  claim 1 , wherein the openings of the first and second reservoir comprise closing means for restricting access to the first and second reservoirs. 
     
     
         9 . The carrying case of  claim 8 , wherein the closing means of the second opening provides the second reservoir with a water-proof seal. 
     
     
         10 . The carrying case of  claim 1 , wherein the first and second body are formed from a textile-like material. 
     
     
         11 . The carrying case of  claim 7 , further comprising an impermeable layer lining at least the second reservoir. 
     
     
         12 . The carrying case of  claim 1 , wherein the second body is generally removably coupled to the periphery of first body. 
     
     
         13 . The carrying case of  claim 1 , further comprising at least one holding strap mounted thereto. 
     
     
         14 . The carrying case of  claim 1 , wherein the second body comprises a second closure mechanism for permitting access to the second reservoir at a location different that the second opening. 
     
     
         15 . The carrying case of  claim 3 , wherein the second body and/or second reservoir are adapted and configured for containing one or more cooling or heating elements for maintaining the at least one container contained therein at a desired temperature. 
     
     
         16 . A method of using a carrying case, the method comprising:
 providing a case comprising a first body coupled to a second body, the first body having a first opening defining a first reservoir therein, the second body having a second opening defining a second reservoir therein;   containing at least a first component in the first body; and   containing at least a second component in the second body, the second body configured to substantially insulate the second component contained therein.   
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 16 , wherein the first component is a collapsible chair. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 16 , wherein the second component is a container. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 18 , wherein the container is a consumable beverage. 
     
     
         20 . A carrying case for a collapsible chair comprising:
 a first body comprising a first opening defining a first reservoir therein, the first reservoir adapted and configured for containing the collapsible chair therein;   a second body removably coupled to the first body, the second body comprising a second opening defining a second reservoir therein, the second reservoir adapted and configured for containing at least one consumable beverage therein;   an insulative material lining at least the second body for reducing the transfer of heat to and/or from the second reservoir; and   an impermeable layer lining the insulative material for restricting a liquid contained within the second reservoir from penetrating through the second body,   wherein the first and second opening each comprise closing means for restricting access to the first and second reservoirs, and wherein the closing means of the second opening provides the second reservoir with a water-proof seal.
