Benefits of technology

The invention is about using flexible magnetic strips to seal the opening of containers. This sealing process is made easier by the use of magnets that naturally attract each other, creating an airtight and water-resistant seal. The technique can be used with any type of container and is efficient and effective in providing protection against water damage.

Problems solved by technology

The prior art may have water resistant qualities, but are not self-sealing, and require human intervention to form the enclosures on the bags.

Embodiment Construction

[0061]The self sealing container has one or more openings using magnet to magnet contact, preferably making the container water-resistant and airtight. The specialized magnet to magnet seal may be used in, for example, but not limited to, bags, backpacks, pockets, duffle bags, soft coolers and handbags. More specifically, this invention relates to sealing containers without human intervention and using only flexible magnet-to-magnet contact. When left hands-free, the magnet to magnet contact and bias rods pops the opening closed.

[0062]The present invention is constructed on a sheet of waterproof fabric using a length of fabric and folded so as to have a fold line 88 to form a fold edge 25 at a bottom of the bag. The sides of the bag are stitched with thread and a strip of seal 22 material is laminated over the stitching holes on the inside of the bag. The seal strip 22 is heat laminated and pressed against the stitching holes on the inside of the bag. The seal strip 22 is reinforced...

Abstract

A waterproof self sealing container sealed by magnet to magnet contact, making the container airtight and water resistant. The water resistant container has a body made of flexible water resistant material. The body is formed as a sheet. An opening is formed at an end of the body. The body opening has a body opening first side and a body opening second side. A first magnet strip is bonded to the body opening first side. A first bonding layer bonds to the body. The first magnet strip is bonded to the first bonding layer and wherein the first bonding layer is bonded to the body opening first side. A second magnet strip is bonded to the body opening second side. A flap magnet contact area is formed where the first magnet strip and the second magnet strip are free from the sidewalls of the body.

Description

[0001]The present invention is a continuation in part of U.S. non-provisional utility patent application Ser.
