Claims

1. A small Magnet Bag is a versatile pouch/bag formed of an indoor/outdoor fabric material with multiple magnets encased in the back to form an enclosure. The Magnet Bag Accessory Piece is comprised of a number of small magnets fully enveloped in identical fabric. Magnet Bag's versatility is further displayed by the Magnet Bag Accessory Piece which is attached by a small strap to allow for it to be attached to the main Magnet Bag through material for holding on a person's clothing which can assist people with physical challenges by keeping small items close at hand such as sunglasses, reading glasses, pens, pencils, remote controls, etc. Magnet Bag can be an organizational aid at home or in the workplace by attaching magnetically to machinery, toolboxes, fridges, filing cabinets, outdoor railings and most metallic surfaces in order to hold small items such as, safety glasses, tools, shop rags, safety gloves, etc. The Accessory Piece also has an application independent of the strap whereby it attaches directly to the Magnet Bag while the opposite side of the Accessory Piece adheres to a non-magnetic surface by using two sided tape which is affixed to the Accessory Piece which allows the Magnet Bag to be removed while the Accessory Piece remains attached to the desired location.

SPECIFICATIONS

[0012] Magnet Bag is a small durable fabric pouch with magnets attached to the rear face and encased in the same fabric and stitched. The Magnet Bag accessory piece is a smaller pouch that contains magnets in the same fashion as the Magnet Bag, with the option of the accessory piece being attached to the Magnet Bag by a small nylon strap. Adheres to most metal surfaces by magnetism, for nonmagnetic surface where the small accessory piece is added a double sided adhesive is required. When Magnet Bag is attached to the accessory piece by a nylon strap it allows for the option of a garment to be secured between the Magnet Bag and accessory piece. This allows small items to be held in the Magnet Bag and easily accessible to people with physical disabilities because it's within proximity. I designed Magnet Bag with the use of a sewing machine, serger, magnets, straps, vinyl and durable indoor/outdoor fabric. The bag can be made in a very clear, step wise manner. The Magnet Bag Accessory piece was made of the same material and using the same machines. Magnet Bag can be custom printed for promotional use.
