Abstract
A bag includes a first sidewall, a second opposing sidewall, and a foldable base. The foldable base is coupled to the first sidewall and the second side wall. The foldable base includes a first rigid panel coupled to a second rigid panel such that the foldable base is configured to fold from a generally flat configuration to a folded configuration, thereby converting the bag from an expanded configuration to a collapsed configuration.
Claims20
A bag convertible between a first configuration and a second configuration, the bag comprising:
- a first sidewall having a first opening therein providing access to a first side pocket;
- a second opposing sidewall having a second opening therein providing access to a second side pocket;
- a foldable base coupled to the first sidewall and the second side wall, the foldable base including (i) a sheet of material, (ii) a first rigid panel, (iii) one or more first magnets positioned between the sheet of material and the first rigid panel such that the one or more first magnets are concealed by the sheet of material, (iv) a second rigid panel, and (v) one or more second magnets positioned between the sheet of material and the second rigid panel such that the one or more second magnets are concealed by the sheet of material, the first rigid panel being coupled to the second rigid panel such that the foldable base is configured to fold from a generally flat configuration to a folded configuration, thereby converting the bag from the first configuration to the second configuration, responsive to the bag being in the second configuration, the one or more first magnets are configured to magnetically couple with corresponding ones of the one or more second magnets to aid in maintaining the foldable base in the folded configuration and the bag in the second configuration;
- a first endwall coupled to (i) the foldable base via a first double stitch, (ii) the first side wall via a second double stitch, and (iii) the second sidewall via a third double stitch;
- a second endwall coupled to (i) the foldable base via a fourth double stitch, (ii) the first side wall via a fifth double stitch, and (iii) the second sidewall via a sixth double stitch.
