This invention relates generally to a travel carrying case.
Devices that conceal or minimize malodorous organic materials are desirable in the field of pharmaceuticals. Such devices allow for consumers to travel with pharmaceutical products inconspicuously. Specifically, there is a dire need for transportable personal devices that may store and preserve pharmaceutical supplies and medications, and fragile electronics. Further, there is a need in the market for a safer means to travel with delicate medical instruments.
There is a need in the market for a safer means to travel with delicate medical instruments. Delicate items during travel are often susceptible to damage. Luggage handling is a vigorous process and thus increases the likelihood of breakage of fragile instruments. Due to this, transporting personal safety equipment, medical products, and electronics is often inconvenient and difficult for the everyday traveler. Traveling with such devices could lead to additional costly repairs. Further, there are certain restrictions put in place by the airports Transportation Security Administration (TSA). While there are several patents and patent applications in the area of pharmaceutical storage mediums, none have provided a solution to this problem.
Various patents and patent applications provide for a storage medium of pharmaceutical devices. One of these solutions attempt to utilize plastic containers, but this solution fails to meet the needs of the market because plastic containers do not trap the odor. Another solution attempts to utilize a bag, but this solution is similarly unable to meet the needs of the market because it does not protect the product or its accessories. Still another solution seeks to utilize an airtight container, but this solution also fails to meet market needs because airtight containers can be hard to transport. Still another solution seeks to utilize a carbon layer to mask the odor, but this solution does not adequately protect the product or accessories from inertial energy. What is needed is an easily transportable personal device that provides safe storage for and preservation of pharmaceutical supplies during travel, while meeting travel restrictions put in place by TSA.
