A binder device including a body having a first cover and a second cover directly or indirectly pivotally coupled together and at least partially defining an inner compartment therebetween. The body further includes a binding mechanism positioned in the inner compartment, a first body securing device coupled to the body, and a second body securing device coupled to the body. The binder device includes a strap including first and second strap segments. The strap is movable between a first configuration wherein the first and second strap segments are releasably coupled together to form a continuous strap that is wearable over a shoulder of a user, and a second configuration wherein the first strap segment is releasably coupled the first body securing device and the second strap segment is releasably coupled to the second body securing device such that the first and second strap segments each at least partially defines a loop. Each loop is shaped and configured to receive an arm of a user therethrough such that the binder device is wearable on a back of the user in the manner of a backpack. Each strap segment is configured to be releasably coupled to only one of the first or second body securing devices.

A storage device including a body having an inner compartment, wherein the body has first and second outer portions and a middle portion positioned therebetween. The storage device further includes a strap attachable to the body in a first configuration wherein the strap is coupled to the body at or adjacent to the first and second outer portions and extends therebetween and is not coupled to the middle portion such that the strap is wearable over a shoulder of a user in a manner of a courier-type bag, and a second configuration wherein the strap is coupled to the body at or adjacent to the first and second outer portions and releasably slidably attached to the middle portion to thereby define a pair of loops. Each loop is shaped and configured to receive an arm of a user therethrough such that the storage device is wearable on a back of the user in the manner of a backpack.

An article adapted to be positioned on a user's body includes a compartment, a female connector, and a strap. The compartment includes a top, bottom, front, and rear. The female connector is coupled to the top of the compartment and includes a first receptacle opening toward the front of the compartment, and a second receptacle opening toward the rear of the compartment. The strap includes a first end with a male connector and a second end coupled to the bottom of the compartment. The male connector is removably coupleable to the first receptacle, where the strap is oriented on the front of the compartment so that, when worn, the front faces the body of the user. The male connector is also removably coupleable to the second receptacle, where the strap is oriented on the rear of the compartment so that, when worn, the rear faces the body of the user.

A duffel bag can be reversibly converted to a cross-over bag by restricting the storage volume of the bag at one end. Optionally, a carrying strap may be adjusted from a central anchor to an outer anchor to facilitate draping the carrying strap over a shoulder.

A configurable bag includes a bag body, a removable faceplate, horizontal and vertical straps, a cover attachment and storage compartments. The bag body has a front panel, a back panel and sides. The removable faceplate extends over at least a portion of the back panel, while the horizontal and vertical straps are formed on the front panel to define a webbed pattern. The cover attachment connects the back panel and the removable faceplate. Upon folding the bag body about its elongate axis, the back panel and attached removable faceplate are folded on themselves to transition the bag body from a first configuration to a second configuration. Each of the storage compartments have corresponding straps that may form an interwoven cooperation with the webbed pattern such that the storage compartments are situated on opposing sides of the foldable bag body while the foldable bag body is maintained in the second configuration.

The present invention provides a unique, versatile, one piece, all-in-one, convertible fanny pack to backpack storage device which allows a user to have completely different-sized bags, from a small fanny pack to a larger backpack, all in one convertible unit. The user can utilize the fanny pack when they have minimal or small items to carry. When the user has multiple items and/or a heavier load to carry, the user can easily convert the fanny pack into the backpack.

A convertible tote bag includes a bag body including an upper portion and a lower portion. A handle strap is fixedly anchored at a first anchor point to the lower portion of the bag body, and slidably anchored at a second anchor point to the upper portion of the bag body. The handle strap is slidable between a first position in which a first segment of the handle strap, between the first anchor point and the second anchor point, is cinched against a side of the bag body, and in which a second segment of the handle strap extends above the second anchor point away from the bag body, and a second position in which the first segment of the handle strap and the second segment of the handle strap are pulled below the second anchor point to form a loop off the side of the bag body.

A rucksack and shoulder bag has a storage bin with two opposite sides; a single continuous strap encircling the bin, the strap ends being attached to the storage bin on opposite sides at predefined attachment points. At least four loops are attached to the storage bin. The strap is led through each of the loops such that the strap may slide through the loops. The attachment points and loops are distributed such that the bag has at least two configurations: a first configuration wherein one of the attachment points and three of the loops define carrying points for two shoulder straps as a rucksack, and a second configuration wherein the strap extends diagonally across a top part of the storage bin between two of the loops located on the opposite sides, wherein the bag may be carried with the strap extending diagonally across the top part as a shoulder bag.

A convertible travel bag includes a first compartment, a second compartment rotatably coupled to the first compartment, and a third compartment rotatably coupled to the first compartment. The second compartment and the third compartment are rotatable between a backpack mode and a side-carry mode. In the backpack mode, the first compartment is positioned between the second compartment and the third compartment, and in the side-carry mode, the first compartment is longitudinally in line with both the second compartment and the third compartment.
