Abstract
A backpack for carrying bulky, heavy footwear such as inline skates, conventional roller skates, ice skates or ski boots is provided. Preferably a backpack for carrying inline skates is provided. According to the invention, the backpack includes left and right opposed trapezoidal compartments. These compartments have a generally trapezoidal side face, a generally rectangular back face and a narrow width. The left and right trapezoidal compartments are angularly joined together at the front base portion of the compartments to form an isosceles triangle therebetween. The joined right and left trapezoidal compartments define a portion of the front face of the backpack. A piece of luggage material such as tight weave nylon is used to complete the front of the backpack by closing off the top of the area between the left and right trapezoidal compartments. The left and right trapezoidal compartments are rather narrow and in fact are only wide enough to receive the narrow part of a boot or skate. This prevents shifting of the footwear when carried. The compartments have a sufficient height for receipt of the blade portion of a skate and/or of the top portion of a bulky boot, for example, a ski boot. In addition, the compartments have a sufficient depth to receive the blade portion of a skate.
