Impermeable Bag

Abstract

Disclosed is an impermeable bag for holding articles. The impermeable bag includes a first sidewall, a second sidewall, a flexible interlocking member and a flexible interposing member. The first sidewall includes a first inner surface and a first outer surface. The second sidewall includes a second inner surface and a second outer surface. The first inner surface and the second inner surface are attached to form a receptacle with an opening to hold the articles therein. The flexible interlocking member is disposed on the first inner surface proximate to the opening. The flexible interposing member is disposed on the second inner surface proximate to the opening. A pressure is applied on the first outer surface and the second outer surface to insert the flexible interposing member into the flexible interlocking member for sealing the opening.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to container sacks, and more specifically to an impermeable bag for holding articles.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Container sacks such as bags are typically used for carrying articles such as cell phones, cameras and the like. However, a problem arises when a user is carrying the articles in a bag while performing outdoor water activities, such as kayaking, canoeing, rafting, water sports, and the like. While performing the outdoor water activities, water may seep through the bag and cause damage to sensitive items that the user may be carrying. Examples of the sensitive items include cell phones, digital cameras, Global Positioning System (GPS) equipment, maps, documents and currency notes.[0003]Waterproof bags are available for carrying the sensitive items while the user is performing the outdoor water activities. The waterproof bags require suitable sealing mechanisms to prevent the water from entering into the waterpr...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0010]The flexible interposing member inserted into the flexible interlocking member configures the sealing mechanism for preventing water from entering the impermeable bag. Further, the flexible interposing member may be inserted and disengaged from the flexible interlocking member by application of the pressing force and the pulling force respectively, thereby facilitating convenient opening and closing of the impermeable bag.

[0011]The impermeable bag is provided with a belt for facilitating convenience in carrying the impermeable bag. The belt secures the impermeable bag with the user's body, thereby keeping the user's hands free for performing the water activities.

Problems solved by technology

However, a problem arises when a user is carrying the articles in a bag while performing outdoor water activities, such as kayaking, canoeing, rafting, water sports, and the like.

While performing the outdoor water activities, water may seep through the bag and cause damage to sensitive items that the user may be carrying.

While performing a sliding motion of the knob on the sliding-fastening element, the grasping member may break, thereby causing inconvenience to the user in opening or closing the waterproof bag.

Moreover, the waterproof bags are often inconvenient to hold when the user is performing the outdoor water activities.
