A protective wrap device for storage and transport of a laptop computer which includes in its design and utility the ambidextrous use of a built-in mouse pad function.

A storage and moving device for silverware and utensils comprising a flexible plastic material with a series of individual pockets that are heat sealed/welded to provide separate contents between pockets. Each of the pockets has an opening at the top of the pocket, and a flap is attached to back of the device that either covers each of the pockets individually or all of the pockets together, that folds over and closes each of the pockets. The device is in a flat position when opened and a rolled up position when closed.

Storage pouches ideal for securing loose and relatively formless items such as necklaces, chains, earrings, and other personal jewelry, including storage pouches comprised of a flexible sheet of material that may be optionally fashioned with pre-formed channels for securing chains and ropes. The storage pouch is closed by folding it in upon itself, and securing it shut with one or more removable fasteners. Other embodiments include pouch material without pre-formed channels, but first folding in to form the channels, then folding upon itself to be secured shut.

This invention relates to beach equipment and the packing thereof for conveyance by a beach-goer to and from a beach. More particularly it provides a towel and a carrier for the towel and a pillow as well as other items that a beach-goer may wish to take with them. The invention may be provided in kit form, or as a beach bag assembly that comprises a wall of flexible sheet material, comprising first and second portions, said first portion being configured to define a beach towel and the second portion being configured to define an internal stowage space suitable for stowage of said first portion. The bag may have a removable carry strap attached for ease of carrying, for example over the user's shoulder.

The multi-purpose storage pouch is further defined with an inner surface and an outer surface. The storage pouch has an overall shape of a plus sign. The storage pouch folds at each of four armatures to enclose the inner surface. The inner surface includes of the storage pouch includes a plurality of pockets or retaining members that secure a plurality of items to the interior of the storage pouch. The armatures each include a nylon hook or loop strip that enables the armatures to secure one another, and therefore enclose the inner surface. The top armature includes a pocket with a translucent member that enables objects to be seen there through. The storage pouch includes a pair of grommets that enable a cord member to extend from the interior of the storage pocket. The outer surface may include one or more exterior pockets.

A dual form and dual use of a folding accessory is disclosed. A folding plate suitable for supporting and strengthening a folded cloth or soft sheet has another use, after its role as a folding support ends. The folding accessory may be used as raw material for preparing a useful container, for example by marking in advance proper folding lines and cutting in advance cuts in the folding accessory. Thus, once the factory manufactured and packed article has been opened, the folding accessory can be formed as a container simply by folding its various facets along the respective lines, and inserting strengthening tabs into pre-prepared cuts.

A portable storage container adapted with peel away wall portions so as to be positionable between a loading configuration and a tapered storage configuration is provided. The storage container may include a plurality of elongated wall portions connected along a periphery of a base portion. A plurality of detachable fasteners may be disposed along the longitudinal edges of each wall portion so that adjacent wall portions may be joined by attaching the detachable fasteners, forming the storage configuration, and peeled away by detaching the plurality of detachable fasteners, forming the loading configuration. The storage device may include an elevated base support having a supporting platform that maintains the base portion at a readily accessible position above the peeled-away wall portions in the loading configuration.

A convertible device that converts between an activity mat and a storage container to capture and store numerous articles. Upon reclosing the activity mat, the articles are recaptured into the storage container. The device includes walls and a base, webbing connected between each adjacent wall pair, and a joint connected between the base and walls so that they are foldable into a third configuration wherein the footprint of the folded device is roughly the size of the base. In the third configuration, the walls are stacked relative to the base. The convertible device may further include two zippers for releasably holding the walls in a rigid and upright position in the first configuration. The webbing can be inwardly biased such that when the walls are urged from the second to the first configuration, the webbing folds toward the interior of the convertible device.

A containment device that converts between three different configurations or forms and includes a multilayer base. The forms include: 1) a mat or work surface that has a raised lip or edge structure that contains items on the mat or work surface; 2) a small volume bag or flexible container for holding the items inside, where the lip is gathered or compacted, e.g., by a drawstring, to form an annulus from the lip; and 3) a larger-volume, cylindrical-shaped bag, which may be used as a shopping bag. The cylindrical-shaped bag may be stored between the layers of the base when the device is in the mat configuration or the drawstring bag configuration, and the lip may be stored between the layers of the base when the device is in the cylindrical-shaped bag configuration.

A foldable bottle holder (10, 100, 106, 110) includes a foldable wall (12), a sheet (14), and a closure (16). The foldable wall (12) includes a first portion (20) and a second portion (22) that are connected by a hinge (24). A first portion (32) of the sheet (14) is secured to the foldable wall (12), and a second portion (34) of the sheet (14) cooperates with the first portion (20) of the foldable wall (12) to define an opening (36) of the bottle holder (10) so that the sheet (14) forms a bottom wall (38) of the bottle holder (10) connected to the second portion (22) of the foldable wall (12) and so that the foldable wall (12) and the sheet (14) together form side walls (39) of the bottle holder (10) and the opening (36). The closure (16) selectively retains the first portion (20) and the second portion (22) of the foldable wall (12) in a minimized condition of the foldable bottle holder (10) and in open state of the closure (16) allows for a user to carry a bottle (50) in the foldable holder (10).
