Abstract
A portable container includes a first storage component and a second storage component with each of the first and second storage components having a body with a plurality of sides for defining a periphery. The first and second storage components are connected to each other along one of their sides such that they are pivotally rotatable with respect to one another. A first elongated connector extends along at least a portion of the remaining sides of the first storage component. A second elongated connector extends along at least a portion of the remaining sides of the second storage component and is configured to be selectively matingly engaged with the first elongated connector. At least one of the first and second storage components includes an adjustable storage space.
Claims19
A portable container, comprising:
- a first storage component and a second storage component with each of the first and second storage components having a body with a plurality of sides for defining a periphery,
- wherein the first and second storage components are connected to each other along one of their sides such that they are pivotally rotatable with respect to one another;
- a first elongated connector extending along at least a portion of the remaining sides of the first storage component;
- and
- a second elongated connector extending along at least a portion of the remaining sides of the second storage component and configured to be selectively matingly engaged with the first elongated connector,
- wherein at least one of the first and second storage components includes an adjustable storage space;
- wherein the first storage component includes a first panel having a plurality of sides for defining a periphery of the first panel, a second panel having a plurality of sides for defining a periphery of the second panel, and a flexible member connecting the plurality of sides of the first panel to the plurality of sides of the second panel;
- wherein the first panel, the second panel, and the flexible member define an adjustable storage space in the first storage component;
- and wherein the flexible member of the first storage component includes a plurality of sides configured to be collapsed or expanded between the first and second panels to adjust a distance between the first and second panels, thereby adjusting a carrying capacity of the adjustable storage space in the first storage component.
A backpack, comprising:
- a first storage component including a first storage compartment having a volume and a second storage compartment having a volume,
- wherein the first storage compartment includes a first panel, a second panel and a first flexible member extending between the first and second panels and defined by one or more sides, wherein the first flexible member connects the first panel to the second panel to selectively adjust the volume of the first storage compartment by collapsing or expanding the one or more sides,
- wherein the second storage compartment includes a third panel, the second panel being disposed between the first and third panels, and wherein the first and third panels are respectively configured to provide access to the first and second storage compartments;
- a second storage component including a fourth panel, a fifth panel and a second flexible member extending between the fourth and fifth panels and defined by one or more sides, wherein the second flexible member connects the fourth panel to the fifth panel to selectively adjust the volume of the second storage component by collapsing or expanding the one or more sides,
- wherein the fourth panel is configured to provide access to the second storage component;
- a flexible connecting member connected between the first storage component and the second storage component to pivotally connect the first and second storage components to each other;
- a first elongated connector extending along at least a portion of the first panel of the first storage component;
- a second elongated connector extending along at least a portion of the second storage component and configured to be selectively coupled to the first elongated connector, the first and second elongated connectors being configured to selectively couple the first and second storage components to each other;
- a third elongated connector extending along one of the first flexible member and the first panel;
- a fourth elongated connector extending along one of the first flexible member and the second panel and configured to be selectively coupled to the third elongated connector for maintaining the first flexible member collapsed or to be selectively uncoupled from the third elongated connector for allowing the first flexible member to be expanded;
- a fifth elongated connector extending along one of the second flexible member and the fourth panel;
- and
- a sixth elongated connector extending along one of the second flexible member and the fifth panel and configured to be selectively coupled to the fifth elongated connector for maintaining of the second flexible member collapsed or to be selectively uncoupled from the fifth elongated connector for allowing the second flexible member to be expanded.
