Multi-Compartment Plastic Bag
A multi-compartment resealable plastic storage bag includes a front bag surface, a rear bag surface, a left outer seal, a right outer seal, a bottom edge, at least one inner seal, at least one inner perforated line, and a plurality of fastening mechanism. The front bag surface and the rear bag surface are perimetrically connected to each other by the left outer seal, the right outer seal, and the bottom edge. The front bag surface and the rear bag surface are connected to each other through the at least one inner seal thus delineating a multiple compartments. The at least one perforated line traverses along the at least one inner seal so that the multiple compartments can be separated when necessary. The plurality of fastening mechanism is positioned parallel to the bottom edge and integrated in between the front bag surface and the rear bag surface.

FIELD OF THE INVENTIONThe present invention generally relates to a device that is used to store and organize a plurality of items in a plurality of resealable storage compartments. More specifically, the present invention is a bag that is made up of a plurality of multi-sized resealable compartments that is joined by perforated edges. The present invention allows the user to store items in different compartments which can be separated from nearby compartments and discarded when needed.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONOrganizing and storing items can many times be a hassle. Issues arise when items are misplaced in different areas of an office or household. While those traditional one compartment resealable bags present one possible solution by storing away certain items, the user needs to use up all stored items inside those bags before discarding it. This simply creates another organizational issue. Furthermore, a user needs to separately buy different sized resealable bags to maximize the storage capacity within and/or to accommodate different sized items. For example, a larger resealable bag is generally utilized to store pizza slices due to the size of the pizza slices. However, when storing a handful of berries, a smaller or medium size resealable bag can be utilized because they takes up less storage space. In the event when a properly sized resealable bag is not available, users tend to use larger resealable bags thus wasting money due to the higher cost of the larger resealable bags and aiding the plastic pollution.
The present invention solves all issues mentioned above by providing a plurality and reduce time spent in organizing those items. A plethora of items of different consistencies, shapes, textures, and sizes can all be assorted and carried in the same bag. With the present invention, the user is able to detach and discard the resealable storage compartments when needed. This helps create space needed for other items and lightens the load of the bag to be carried throughout the day. The present invention is preferably made from a biodegradable plastic to avoid burdening the environment; however, the present invention can also be any other types of durable and flexible material such as plastic.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONThe present invention is a resealable storage bag with multiple compartments with detachable edges constructed with a perforation. The detachable edge connects each of the resealable storage compartments into a single bag unit. Each bag compartment is detachable by tearing at the perforation. The opening of each bag is positioned at the top of each compartment and allows the user to introduce items into the storage compartments. The opening consists of interlocking lips that lie on either side of the storage bag. The storage bags is preferably constructed of a biodegradable material to reduce the environmental burden associated with regular plastics.
All illustrations of the drawings are for the purpose of describing selected versions of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
The present invention is a multi-compartment plastic storage bag that has a combination of a plurality of resealable compartments. Each of the plurality of resealable compartments varies in size and provides multiple storage options for a user. Furthermore, each of the plurality of resealable compartments can be separated from each other upon user's preference to maximize the functionality. Each of the plurality of resealable compartments comprises an opening so that a corresponding storage area for each of the plurality of resealable compartments can be easily accessed independently of the other bag compartments. The present invention is made from a food grade and environmentally friendly plastic thus allowing the user to store edible items into the storage compartments without worrying about foreign chemicals leaching into stored food, eating utensils, baby items such as a pacifier, and makeup supplies. However, the preferred material for the present invention is a biodegradable plastic that has a long lifespan and does not disintegrate while it is in use. The present invention comprises a front bag surface 1, a rear bag surface 2, a left outer seal 3, a right outer seal 4, a bottom edge 5, at least one inner seal 6, at least one inner perforated line 9, and a plurality of fastening mechanism 12 as shown in
