  • Patent number: 10463124
    Abstract: A backpack, or carrying bag capable of carrying multiple items in a variety of configurations and capable of being carried in a plurality of ways. The backpack may include modular panels that are interchangeable within the main pocket of the backpack. The backpack may have shoulder straps as well as hand straps. The shoulder straps may be restrained or “hidden” within or behind a panel on the back of the backpack. The hand straps may be positioned on lateral sides of the backpack or the top of the backpack to carry the backpack like a briefcase. An expandable pocket may be positioned on either lateral side of the backpack and may be automatically retractable when not in. The backpack may also be entirely expandable to create more space in the central pocket with a perimeter zipper that creates more volume within the body of the backpack.

  • Patent number: 10368618
    Abstract: System and method of storing cards for ease of carrying and access by a user. The system, which may be a wallet, may include a sleeve or band that tightly holds or maintains a card or plurality of cards. The sleeve may have an opening at the top and at the bottom to allow for cards to be positioned within the sleeve. A pull-strap may be coupled to the sleeve and weave through the sleeve in an S-shape to create a first pocket for cards and a second pocket for cards. The pull-strap may pass through a guide in the body of the sleeve that can be pulled or actuated to allow for easy retrieval of the cards from the pockets. The pull-strap and cards can be easily retracted within the sleeve with a single hand of a user.

  • Patent number: 10368619
    Abstract: A travel bag, or bag capable of being positioned in multiple configurations to allow a user to carry the bag in a plurality of ways. The bag may include straps secured to the bag in such a manner as to allow a user to easily manipulate the straps into a first configuration and a second configuration. The first configuration may be in a backpack type configuration where a user may place the straps around his/her arms and shoulders to carry the bag on the back of the user. The second configuration may be in a duffle bag type configuration where a user may hold the straps in a single hand or arm. The straps may pass freely through a clip anchored to the bag allowing the bag to easily transition from the first configuration to the second configuration.
