Claims17
A carrying bag comprising:
- an exterior bag having at least one opening for access to an interior of the exterior bag;
- and
- a security panel assembly extending within the interior of the exterior bag, the security panel assembly comprising:
- a first flexible material layer, the first flexible material layer having a first side and a second side, the first flexible material layer having a plurality of edges;
- and
- a wire matrix arranged entirely on the first side of the first flexible material layer, the wire matrix comprising:
- at least one wire having at least two ends arranged as a plurality of wire crossings and a plurality of bent or curved portions on the first side of the first flexible material layer, and the at least one wire further having multiple bent or curved portions of the plurality of bent or curved portions arranged adjacent and spaced apart from each edge of the plurality of edges of the first flexible material layer, with the plurality of bent or curved portions which are adjacent to and spaced apart from a selected edge, of the plurality of edges, arranged closer to the selected edge than the at least two ends of the at least one wire;
- and
- a second flexible material layer stitched or adhered over the wire matrix and to the first side of the first flexible material layer to secure the wire matrix between the first and second flexible material layers.
