Handbag having functional devices secured by magnetically attractable devices

6) A handbag which comprises:

• a) an enclosure having at least opposed front and rear walls, opposed side walls, and a bottom wall, said walls defining a storage space;
• b) first magnetically attractable device associated with at least a portion of said enclosure;
• and
• c) at least one functional device having at least one wall portion having second magnetically attractable device associated therewith, said wall portion positionable adjacent said first magnetically attractable device, such that said first and second magnetically attractable devices are positioned in adjacent relation whereby said functional device may be separably attached to said enclosure by magnetic attractive force, while permitting separation of said functional device from said enclosure by movement of said magnetically attractable devices away from each other.

7) A handbag which comprises:

• a) an enclosure having opposed front and rear walls, opposed sidewalls, a bottom wall, and side walls defining a storage space;
• b) a closure panel associated with at least one of said walls and arranged for pivotal movement toward and away from said at least one wall so as to define a compartment therebetween;
• c) at least one first magnetically attractive device associated with said at least one wall;
• and
• d) a functional device arranged for separable attachment within said compartment, said functional device having associated therewith at least one second magnetically attractable device for removably attaching said functional device within said compartment by positioning said first and second magnetically attractive devices in opposed relation so as to develop mutual magnetic attractive force between said at least one first and second magnetically attractive devices.

17) A device for carrying articles or the like which comprises:

• a) an enclosure;
• b) a wallet or change purse for carrying articles, information or the like, said wallet being removably positionable with respect to a preselected portion of said enclosure;
• and
• c) mutually magnetically attractable devices respectively associated with said enclosure and said wallet or change purse for retaining said wallet or change purse in position with respect to said enclosure by magnetic attractive force, while permitting separation of said wallet or change purse from said enclosure.
