A hands-free, belt-worn paint container support apparatus including a receptacle for holding a paint container, a handle rotatably connected to the receptacle, one or more spacers rotatably connected to the handle, a belt tab connected to the spacers, and first and second spaced panels operationally connected to the spacers, where each panel is connected to the spacers, where the handle is rotatably connected to the first side panel, and where the belt tab is connected to the second side panel. In additional embodiments, the belt may be configured to accommodate paint trays as well as paint holders.

Provided is a buckle for a chest strap of a knapsack, including a plug member including a plug plane portion formed at a front side of a base so as to be connected to the base via a plug inner-side slope, a plug front-end slope extending forward from the plug plane portion, a first magnet embedded in a middle portion of the plug plane portion, and coupling protrusions protruding from opposite sides of the first magnet, and a socket member including a socket plane portion formed at a front side of a base so as to be connected to the base via a socket inner-side slope, a socket front-end slope extending forward from the socket plane portion, a second magnet embedded in a middle portion of the socket plane portion, and coupling recesses formed in opposite sides of the second magnet so as to correspond to the respective coupling protrusions.

The present invention discloses, inter alia, a bag apparatus having a main body with different portions. Aspects of embodiments of the invention contemplate the apparatus having side portions and curved ends that enable the apparatus to hug the contours of a user and efficiently distribute the weight of the apparatus and contents thereby relieving pressures and stresses normally encountered with contemporary bags. Additional aspects contemplate straps to enable the apparatus to be carried by a user in a number of ways.
