  • Patent number: 5275318
    Abstract: A versatile carrying bag useful for industrial and sporting use. The bag comprises front, rear, bottom, and side panels. The front and rear panels have exterior and interior surfaces, and upper and lower halves. The front panel and the lower half of the rear panel are substantially parallel. The upper half of the rear panel extends beyond the front panel to provide a margin which folds down over and overlaps the upper half of the front panel. Matching strips of a self-adhesive material are attached to the outer and inner surfaces of the upper halves of the front and rear panels, respectively, to provide reversible closure of the carrying bag. A pair of substantially parallel side panels are indented along their entire length. The indentations so formed are joined to the upper half of the rear panel and to the bottom panel, thereby forming an upper fold in the upper half of the rear panel, and a pair of lower folds in the bottom panel.
