Convertible storage bag

Abstract

A convertible bag is disclosed which is adapted to be converted between a compact configuration, such as in the form of a backpack, and an expanded configuration, such as in the form of a duffle bag. The convertible bag has a front end portion having at least one storage compartment. A back end portion is joined to the front end portion, forming at least a second storage compartment. The front end portion and back end portion are adapted to be joined by a zipper around the perimeter of the back end portion and further comprises a pair of toothed tracks and a slidable element. An extendable portion is connected to the front end portion and the back end portion and is contained in the second storage compartment when the bag is in the compact configuration. When the front end portion and back end portion are separated, the extendable portion is adapted to be extended to form the expanded configuration and the zipper is adapted to have the slidable element remain engaged with the pair of toothed tracks at all times.
