  • Patent number: 10709044
    Abstract: An exemplary faraday bag with magnetic closure system includes an actuatable closure section defined between a shielding compartment and an access mouth. The closure section preferably includes a retention segment, a distal flap segment, and an intermediate flap segment therebetween. Base magnets are disposed within the retention segment and a first panel of the bag. Flap magnets are disposed within the distal flap segment and a second panel of the bag. When the closure section is in open configuration, the flap magnets are substantially out of attractive magnetic engagement with respective base magnets, and the shielding compartment is accessible from an ambient environment through the access mouth. When the closure section is in closed configuration, the flap and retention segments are folded with respect to one another, the flap magnets are in attractive magnetic engagement with respective base magnets, and the access mouth is thereby retained in an RF-sealed configuration.

  • Patent number: 5184657
    Abstract: A multi-compartmented wallet is formed from a single piece of material in accordance with a predetermined pattern of cuts and fold lines. The generally rectangular material is initially cut leaving tab-like projections extending from both short edges. Slots are cut from a middle region of both short edges and extend inwardly for approximately one third of the length of the rectangle thereby dividing each short edge into two sections. Selected fold lines are pre-creased and each tab and a contiguous triangular portion of material is folded inwardly over the rectangle and the diagonal fold line is secured with adhesive, leaving the tab free. Opposed sections of the short edges of the material are then folded upwardly, and the short edges are pinched in the middle forming two opposed gathers that are perpendicular to the inward fold. The opposed gathers are interlaid to form compartments in the wallet. The completed wallet has fourteen pockets.
