Abstract
Handbag or carrying case includes a retaining compartment for retaining objects which is defined by structure having a plurality of apertures extending from the compartment to an exterior thereof, and at least one snap fastener which snaps into a respective aperture to thereby be secured to the compartment defining structure. An object may be coupled to the snap fastener such that the object is secured to the structure defining the compartment. The position of the object is variable depending on which aperture the snap fastener snaps into, with the user selecting where to locate the object by selecting the location at which the snap fastener connected thereto will engage with the compartment defining structure.
Claims16
A carrying case, comprising:
- compartment defining means for defining a retaining compartment for retaining objects, said compartment defining means including a plurality of apertures extending from said retaining compartment to an exterior of said compartment defining means;
- at least one snap fastener arranged to snap into a respective one of said apertures to thereby be secured to said compartment defining means;
- and
- coupling means comprising at least a strap for coupling an object to said at least one snap fastener such that the object is secured to said compartment defining means via said coupling means and the position of the object is variable depending on which of said apertures said snap fastener engages, said strap having one end being unattached to said case.
A carrying case, comprising:
- compartment defining means for defining a retaining compartment for retaining objects, said compartment defining means including a plurality of apertures extending from said retaining compartment to an exterior of said compartment defining means;
- and
- object attachment means for attaching an object to said compartment defining means in variable and different positions, each of said object attachment means comprising:
- a snap fastener arranged to snap into a respective one of said apertures to thereby be secured to said compartment defining means;
- and
- coupling means comprising a strap for coupling an object to said snap fastener such that the object is secured to said compartment defining means via said coupling means and the position of the object is variable depending on which of said apertures said snap fastener engages, said strap having one end being unattached to said case.
A kit which enables color-designation of objects for a carrying case, comprising:
- compartment defining means for defining a retaining compartment for retaining objects, said compartment defining means including a plurality of apertures extending from said retaining compartment to an exterior of said compartment defining means;
- a first part of a snap fastener;
- a plurality of second parts of said snap fastener, said first part and each of said second parts being removably engageable with one another with said first part facing the interior of said compartment defining means and said second part facing the exterior of said compartment defining means such that when engaged with each other through one of said apertures, said snap fastener is secured to said compartment defining means;
- and
- coupling means comprising a strap for coupling an object to said first part of said snap fastener such that the object is secured to said compartment defining means via said coupling means and the position of the object is variable depending on which of said apertures said snap fastener passes through, said strap having one end being unattached to said case,
- each of said second parts of said snap fastener having a different color to thereby enable association of a color of said second part of said snap fastener visible from the exterior of said compartment defining means with the object retained in said compartment.
