BACKGROUND OF THE PRESENT INVENTION

1. Field of Invention

The present invention relates to a container bag, and more particularly to a container bag with multiple sealable locks, wherein the container bag has a plurality of discrete sealing pockets adapted for individually packing different objects in an air-tight manner.

2. Description of Related Arts

A container bag usually made of a non-rigid, semi-rigid, or flexible material is used for packing or carrying items such as frozen food, fresh produce, snack foods etc. Most of the bags are heat sealed together. A press-to-close zipper or sliding zipper is used to close and open the bag in a resealable manner, and to seal the items in the bags to keep the items fresh or prevent leaking.

There are many different bags in the market for different purposes. Take a food bag for example, a food bag is used for transporting food for picnicking, wherein a sandwich and fruits are packed in one bag. However, the sandwich may get wet or soaked by the fruits. Therefore, most people would like to separate the sandwich and the fruits into different food bags. Packing the sandwich with the snacks, as another example, a person may put the sandwich and snacks in one bag for convenience or utilizing the usage of the bag, so that the flavor may be mixed and destroyed the taste of the original food. It is worth mentioning that the food bag has a standard size that it is a waste for the food bag to store a small amount of food, such as the snacks.

For solving those problems, a bag having different pockets is provided for separating the different foods in one bag so as to utilize the space of the bag. Though this type of bag solved the mixing different foods problems, the shared opening makes no choose but opening all the pockets at the same time. It is not only inconvenient but also hard to keep it fresh when the single shared opening is opened for all the pockets.

In order to separate the different foods, a container bag for segregating the different foods in one container bag is also provided. The bag has more than two compartments for housing the different foods such as two liquid foods. However, the separated compartments are permanently sealed. It's impossible to reuse the bag or re-close the bag after the bag is unsealedly opened.

Another problem of this container bag is the inconveniency of mixing the separated food being stored in different compartments of the container bag. Take the salad meal as example. The vegetables may be stored in one of the compartment while the salad dressing may be stored in another compartment of the container bag for optimizing the freshness of the salad. When the user is able to enjoy the salad, the salad dressing and the vegetable separately contained in the same container bag are difficult to mix together for forming the salad meal.

Sometimes, a set of separated containers need to be grouped together. They are either contained by a bigger container which costs extra, or are bundled together which is still not convenient and reliable.

Furthermore, the size of the opening of the container bag may be limited by the container bag original shape, so that the opening may not have a length long enough for accessing the receiving cavity of the container bag to accommodate the object through the opening. In other words, the receiving cavity may only be able to receive the object having a volume less than the receiving cavity due to the limited size of the opening.
