Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present invention relates to a multi-functional carrying
bag having multiple storage compartments for storing of monetary
items, and various personal accessories and articles, such as
eyeglasses, a cell phone, credit cards, a wallet, a mirror, a date
planner, a key chain, a pen holder, coins and paper currency, a
pager, a flashlight and the like.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] Carrying bags, tote bags, activity bags, utility bags and
the like are well known in the art and are continually being
changed, modified and adapted to meet the changing needs of users.
Such carrying bags are used daily by individuals traveling to
school, work, office, beaches, parks, vacations, business trips,
etc., taking along various accessories, personal articles and
toiletries, out of necessity, for convenience, or for comfort, in
order to have these necessary items for travel. Keeping them
organized can be a nuisance but a necessity for "peace of mind", in
order for the user to know where the essential articles are being
stored. Thus, the journey itself is often made unpleasant by the
task of transporting disorganized, different sized, multiple
articles, which are not stored within a predetermined storage
compartment of the carrying bag.
[0003] There remains a need for a multi-functional carrying bag
having multiple storage compartments for storing and holding the
necessary personal articles and accessories the user needs when
traveling. Further, it would be desirable to have a carrying bag
with multiple pockets and storage areas shaped for holding specific
articles and accessories of different sizes in a secure manner and
that allows ease of accessibility.
DESCRIPTION OF PRIOR ART
[0004] Activity bags, purses, tote bags, utility bags, carrying
bags, multipocket carrying cases, mobile computing bags and the

4,506,769 to FRANCO et al. discloses an activity bag system having
an outer carrying bag with multiple interchangeable inner
containers carried one at a time within the outer carrying bag. The
activity bag system also includes a container storage cover for
each inner container which also serves as a partition for the outer

bag having a recessed compartment and a carrier bag having a
self-supporting smaller bag. The smaller bag is used for
accessories and has a closeable opening which is readily accessible
to a user through the mouth of the carrier bag. The smaller bag
acts a security purse because it is essentially invisible. This
prior art patent does not disclose or teach the design, structure
and configuration of the multi-functional carrying bag of the
present invention.
[0007] U.S. Pat. No. 5,873,504 to FARMER discloses a carrying bag
formed of flexible material having an upper compartment and a lower
compartment separated by a dividing wall. The carrying bag includes
a zippered closure extending around three sides of the bag which
allows access to the lower compartment and permits the upper
compartment to be pivoted away from the lower compartment. The
lower compartment includes a unitary, divided tray for storing of
articles therein. A detachable article, such as a wearable pouch,
is also included to one side of the bag by means of quick-release
clip locks. The pouch includes a pocket for storing a strap
assembly which may be deployed around the waist of a user in order
to convert the pouch to a fanny pack. This prior art patent does
not disclose or teach the design, structure and configuration of
the multi-functional carrying bag of the present invention.
[0008] U.S. Pat. No. 5,938,336 to KING discloses a lightweight,
flexible and machine washable convertible organizer tote bag that
has three basic carrying portions, a central U-shaped or sling
compartment and two side storage panels on either side of the tote
bag. The bag also readily converts from its tote bag conformation
to a seat cover for use on chairs, chaises, and the like. This
prior art patent does not disclose or teach the design, structure
and configuration of the multi-functional carrying bag of the
present invention.
[0009] U.S. Pat. No. 6,354,477 to TRUMMER discloses a mobile
computer carrying bag for receiving a portable personal computer.
The carrying bag is configurable to be carried in a briefcase mode,
a shoulder bag mode and a backpack mode. The carrying bag includes
other interior compartments for holding accessories and appliances
within the carrying bag. This prior art patent does not disclose or
teach the design, structure and configuration of the
