An insulated bag includes a pair of opposing main panels; and a pair of opposing side panels, each side panel attached to each main panel, the main panels and the side panels defining a bag cavity within the insulated bag; the main panels and the side panels defined in an insulated blank, the insulated blank including a first paper layer; and a paper fiber pad coupled to the first paper layer, the paper fiber pad having paper reinforcement fibers interlocked with about 2% to about 25% by weight of a meltable PE/PP bi-component thermoplastic binder fiber distributed substantially randomly, wherein subjecting the repulpable shipping container to a repulpability test produces greater than 85% fiber yield.

A self-configuring bag device formed of flexible material is configured for easy folding and storage while in a first position, and to operate as a bag to carry objects within an interior cavity in a bag configuration. Changing between the first position and bag configuration is accomplished by pulling upon first and second portions of a flexible member slidably positioned within a channel running around the perimeter edge of the body.

A device having a first container and a second container that is convertible between a primary configuration and a secondary configuration. Each container having a primary face (with primary access structure for accessing the interior of the container when the device is in the primary configuration) and a secondary face (with secondary access structure for accessing the interior of the container when the device is in the secondary configuration). A first mateable half and a second mateable half of an openable-closeable connection are connectable to secure the containers in either a primary configuration or a secondary configuration. Preferably, contents within the containers may remain during conversion between the primary configuration and the secondary configuration. A method for converting a device between the primary configuration and the secondary configuration.

A foldable fabric case that encases a collapsible animal carrier when the carrier is collapsed for transport includes a removable handle and a removable, adjustable safety leash that wraps substantially horizontally around the carrier to secure and protect the collapsible animal carrier when traveling.

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 convertible carrying case having a first container and a second container that is convertible between a primary configuration and a secondary configuration. Each container having a primary face (with primary access structure for accessing the interior of the container when the convertible carrying case is in the primary configuration) and a secondary face (with secondary access structure for accessing the interior of the container when the convertible carrying case is in the secondary configuration). A first matable half and a second matable half of an openable-closeable connection are connectable to secure the containers in either a primary configuration or a secondary configuration. Preferably, contents within the containers may remain during conversion between the primary configuration and the secondary configuration. A method for converting a convertible carrying case between the primary configuration and the secondary configuration.

An expandable purse has elongated inner lining releasable from the purse's bottom. The purse contains inner lining that is attached to the top inner edge of the inside back of purse and attached to the bottom inner edge of the inside front of purse. This allows the inner lining to be extended down out from opening at bottom of purse forming a carrying bag.

The present invention provides pet handlers with a bag designed to allow easy transport of and access to pet treats. The pet treat bag is comprised of (1) the main body to hold the treats, (2) a cover that closes the bag tightly using a mechanism that can be opened using one hand, and (3) a means for easily attaching the bag to external objects, including but not limited to, leashes, belt loops, purses, backpacks, and more.

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.
