Straddle pack organizer and methods

A straddle pack organizer for storing objects an being adapted for use with a chair having a horizontal surface, said organizer being convertible to a back pack or a shoulder attached carrier, said straddle pack organizer comprising:

• a generally rectangular central straddle sheet section having first and second opposite ends, an upper surface, a lower surface, a length and an outer perimeter, said straddle sheet section having a central fold line parallel to said first and second ends and being located at approximately a midpoint of said length between said first and second ends such that said straddle sheet section is divided into two halves;
• a first pocket section having a first interior compartment formed therein and being adapted to receive objects, said first pocket section having a first inner surface and a first outer surface, said first pocket section being connected to said straddle section such that said first end forms a first fold line between said first pocket section and said straddle section, said first pocket section having an opening disposed in said first outer surface adjacent said first fold line for providing access to said first interior compartment;
• a second pocket section having a second interior compartment formed therein and being adapted to receive objects, said second pocket section having a second inner surface and a second outer surface, said second pocket section being connected to said straddle section such that said second end forms a second fold line between said second pocket section and said straddle section, said second pocket section having an opening disposed in said second outer surface adjacent said second fold line for providing access to said second interior compartment;
• and
• a strap assembly for carrying said straddle pack organizer, said strap assembly including a continuous loop of strap extending around the periphery of said straddle section, a first attachment means adjacent said first fold lien for slidably securing said loop to said straddle pack organizer near said first end, and a second attachment means adjacent said second fold line for slidably securing said loop to said straddle pack organizer near said second end,
• said straddle pack organizer being configured such that when placed on said chair the lower surface of said straddle section rests upon said horizontal surface and said first and second pocket sections depend downwardly from said straddle section such that a user can gain access to said first and second compartments,
• said straddle pack organizer being foldable for transporting whereby said first pocket section and said straddle section are folded along said first fold line such that said first outer surface rests upon said upper surface of said straddle section, said second pocket section and said straddle section are folded along said second fold line such that said second outer surface rests upon said upper surface of said straddle section, and said straddle section is folded along said central fold line such that said first inner surface of said first pocket section is adjacent said second inner surface of said second pocket section, wherein said continuous loop of strap is movable with respect to said straddle section such that said continuous loop of strap extends from said first and second attachment means to form spaced loops whereby the organizer can be carried as a back pack assembly with the spaced loops extending over both shoulders of a user such that said straddle sheet section rests upon a user's back or the said continuous loop of strap extends from said first and second attachment means to form adjacent loops whereby the organizer can be carried with the adjacent loops extending over a shoulder of a user such that said straddle sheet section rests upon a user's side.
