Description

Detachable and convertible modular bag comprising two or more independent and attachable modules for separate or combined use TECHNICAL SECTOR The present invention relates to the manufacture and production of bags, purses, backpacks, or similar items for carrying goods. The main object of the present invention relates to a modular and convertible bag system, consisting of two or more individual modules with similar characteristics, which can be attached for joint or separate use, allowing for the selective transport of items of different types. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Currently, convertible bags or purses with interchangeable compartments or modules are known; however, none of these solutions proposes a system made up of two or more main modules of comparable capacity, transportable independently or together (according to the user's convenience) and configured for items of different nature, with hygienic separation. In particular, document ES 1058593 U describes a set of three or more independent bags that can be attached by means of eyelets and carabiner-type rings, allowing them to be used together or separately. However, unlike the invention we propose, the format of these three bags is preferably wallet-type, and each part is configured to have a different size and design. Furthermore, the invention does not describe or suggest that one of the bags is specifically configured to hold wet or odor-prone items, nor that there is a separation for hygienic reasons intended for items of different types, as is the case with our invention. Furthermore, document ES 1 304 376 U describes a bag with interchangeable side compartments secured by various means. However, it does not propose a division of the transport system into two or more main modules of comparable capacity that can be transported independently or together, nor does it include a module with specific properties for items that may become wet or dirty, separate from the module for clean / office or study items. Similarly, document ES 1035684 U describes a modular bag that can be configured according to the user's needs by joining or separating different elements with zippers. It includes various body sections, side panels, and double-zippered dividers to create connected or independent modules. However, this document does not propose a solution specifically for creating two or more modules of the same size with different purposes, suitable for combined or separate transport, nor does it consider incorporating a hygienic unit in one of the modules to reduce cross-contamination. Document ES 1077733U describes a bag divided into a main compartment that can be attached to or completely detached from one or more base compartments by means of a device based on an open zipper. However, this invention does not describe a system conceived as two or more main modules, prepared for independent or combined use, specialized to address the combination of work and personal life, nor does it contemplate any specific separation or distinction with respect to wet / dirty clothes. Consequently, there remains a need for a system that adapts to the growing needs of today's society, which is very focused on reconciling work and personal life, which often involves being able to do sports activities after a day of work or study. EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION In the prior art, bags, suitcases, or backpacks with multiple compartments for organizing belongings are known. However, when the user needs to combine work or study activities with personal or sporting activities in the same day, these solutions may present technical limitations. Nowadays, people spend long hours away from home, and this lifestyle demands versatile transport solutions that allow them to carry different types of items such as dirty or wet clothes after sports, shoes, electronic accessories, spare clothes, laptops, and personal items - and that avoid the need to carry several separate bags or sacrifice organization. In particular, a single-body bag forces users to carry incompatible items simultaneously, which can lead to damage to sensitive items. Additionally, users often have to reorganize the contents or transfer items between different bags as needed throughout the day, increasing the time spent on these tasks and the likelihood of forgetting essential items. Furthermore, it doesn't optimize contextual access, making it difficult to quickly locate the desired item. All the problems mentioned in the previous paragraphs would be solved with the proposed invention, consisting of two or more independent but attachable modules, configured to transport items that may be of different natures, under conditions of physical separation and allowing their joint or separate use, this being useful to avoid the transfer of objects, thus giving the greatest practicality and comfort to the user as well as protection and care of their belongings. The invention offers significant advantages over the prior art, including: 1. Total modularity: allows you to adapt the bag to the contents and the activity of the day without needing to carry extra volume or having to carry different bags. 2. Hygienic and organized separation: avoid mixing dirty or wet clothes with clean or delicate items. 3. Versatility: suitable for sports, work, personal activities or travel in a single configurable solution. 4. Efficiency and convenience: reduces the need to carry multiple bags and optimizes space. Description: As previously mentioned, the proposed invention comprises two or more modules, configured for independent use and for coupling together. The modules have dimensions adapted for the everyday transport of the items described below, without implying any limiting or specific size. First module: Without being limited to this, the first module is primarily intended to house office supplies, study materials and / or clean clothes and may include organizing compartments for accessories, devices or personal items. Second module: While not exhaustive, the second module is primarily intended for storing sports equipment, footwear, and / or wet or soiled clothing. This module may include an interior lining and / or ventilation system to facilitate moisture removal and reduce odor transfer. Fastening Means: The modules are designed for easy assembly and disassembly using suitable fastening means. Fastening means are proposed on opposite faces of the modules, selected from magnetic elements, zippers, cords, buckles, clips, snaps, buttons, hooks, straps, Velcro strips, pressure elements, bayonet locks, and similar items (or any combination thereof), to keep the modules aligned. Alternatively or in addition to the above, fastening means are proposed near the handle areas or on the sides, selected from rings, loops, carabiners, or equivalent elements, configured to maintain the connection and ensure even weight distribution when the modules are joined. Another option that is proposed (which could be an alternative or complementary to the previous ones) is the joining of both modules by means of one or more zippers that each module will have placed on its sides, arranged in such a way that they will allow direct communication between the modules. It should be understood that the joining means described are examples and do not limit the scope of the invention, and any other technically equivalent means that allow joining and separating the modules for the same functional purpose may be used. Means of transport: Regarding the means of transport of the invention, each module incorporates one or more handles that allow it to be carried independently or together. Additionally, the invention may include a shoulder or crossbody strap, preferably adjustable and detachable, so that each module and / or the coupled assembly is convertible between a shoulder bag configuration and a crossbody configuration. The invention allows the user to carry the coupled modules as if they were a single unit or any of them separately. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS Figure 1.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION In view of Figures 1 to 6, and in accordance with the numbering adopted, a preferred embodiment of a modular, detachable, and convertible bag configured for independent or joint use is described. Figure 1 shows the bag in its assembled state, consisting of two modules (1, 2) that cooperate through a joining interface comprising coupling elements (3, 4). The resulting assembly can be transported as a single unit while maintaining the physical and functional separation of the contents. Figure 2 shows the modules (1, 2) in their separate state, demonstrating their independent use. Each module incorporates transport features, such as handles (6, 7) integrated into its structure to facilitate its autonomous transport without needing to rely on the other module. Figure 3 shows the first module (1) in its organizer configuration, primarily intended for everyday items such as office / study supplies, devices, and personal belongings. Module (1) may include internal compartments distributed for quick and organized access to items, while maintaining its independent portability. Figure 4 shows the second module (2), primarily intended for sports equipment, footwear, and / or wet or dirty clothing. This module may incorporate ventilation zones (5) designed to facilitate moisture removal and reduce odor transfer when it is coupled with the first module (1). Figure 5 details a possible coupling zone between modules. In this embodiment, the connection is achieved by means of coupling elements arranged at the upper ends of each module (which may be selected from rings, eyelets, carabiners, or equivalent elements to maintain the connection) (3) and fixing surfaces (4) provided on the rear face of each module (which may be selected from mechanical, magnetic, textile, pressure, or equivalent elements), in order to guarantee the securing and stabilization of the load. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the coupling elements described herein may be alternative or complementary. Figure 6 shows an alternative embodiment of the coupling zone, included for illustrative and non-limiting purposes, in which the modules are joined by complementary side zippers (8). In this variant, each module incorporates one half of a zipper, arranged on its opposite side, so that both halves coincide and cooperate with each other when the modules are brought close together, allowing them to be closed together and form a single bag. How to use: - In its independent use, the user can carry module (1) to transport everyday items autonomously and in an organized manner or module (2) as a means of transport and organizer of sports / wet / dirty items separately. - When used together, the user brings both modules (1 and 2) close together and completes the connection using the joining element(s) (3, 4, 8). The result is a single bag that allows for the organized and separate transport of different types of contents, preventing spillage between modules throughout the day and the transfer of moisture and / or odors. - The ventilation zones (5) of the module (2) allow for air renewal that promotes the drying of the contents and minimizes the transfer of odors to the module (1) during its coupled use. The invention is susceptible to industrial application in the field of leather goods and travel items, through conventional processes of cutting, making and assembling flexible elements, without the specific choice of materials or the type of joint limiting the scope of the utility model, and technically equivalent means can be used that allow joining and separating the modules with the same functionality.
