Abstract: A duffel bag can be reversibly converted to a cross-over bag by restricting the storage volume of the bag at one end. Optionally, a carrying strap may be adjusted from a central anchor to an outer anchor to facilitate draping the carrying strap over a shoulder.

Abstract: A bag includes a removable compartment. The removable compartment might be releasably connected to the bag using various mechanisms, and in one aspect, a zipper with overlapping portions attaches the removable compartment to the rest of the bag and provides access to a storage compartment of the bag.

Abstract: A backpack includes a main storage compartment and possibly a plurality of accessory storage compartments that are accessible by opening any one or more side walls. The side walls are connected by zippers that converge at a centralized access point, such that zones or spaces of the backpack are accessible in a focused manner.

Abstract: An electrographic apparatus has a photoconductor on which a latent image is formed, and a development station provides particles of toner to the photoconductor for developing a latent image. After the developed image has been trnsferred to a copy sheet, residual toner particles remaining on the photoconductor are removed at a cleaning station. The removed toner particles are either returned to the development station of the electrographic apparatus for reuse or delivered to a container for disposal. For example, if a development station providing black toner particles to a photoconductor is replaced with a development station containing toner particles of a different color, the residual black toner particles removed at the cleaning station are delivered to the container in order to avoid contamination of colored tone particles in the development station with those black particles remaining on the photoconductor from the operation of the black development station operation.
