Benefits of technology
The invention provides a convertible supply carrier that can be converted into a shoulder bag or a waist pack for nurses. The convertible carrier has an adjustable strap and a belt securing mechanism or shoulder strap securing mechanism for easy conversion. The method of converting the carrier includes detaching the adjustable strap from the carrier and attaching it to the other end of the strap using connectors. The technical effect is the versatility of the convertible supply carrier, allowing nurses to easily switch between a shoulder bag and a waist pack based on the needs of the patient.
Problems solved by technology
However, the pockets of nursing uniforms do not have sufficient space to carry all of the supplies that nurses are required to use throughout the duration of their shift and placing them on tabletops often leads nurses to inadvertently leave the supplies at that location.
Therefore, nurses carry insufficient supplies and must do numerous trips between patient rooms and utility stations throughout the duration of their shifts to search for supplies required to care for patients with varying necessities.
This is exhausting, time-consuming, inefficient, inconvenient, impractical and interruptive for nurses, and contributes to additional stress and physical fatigue of nurses who already experience a stressful work day.
As a result, patient care and personal well-being are impacted.

Embodiment Construction
[0018]According to an embodiment as shown in FIGS. 1-6, convertible supply carrier 100 may comprise a front side 105, a back side 110, a top side 115, a bottom side 120, a right side 125 and a left side 130 defining an enclosure for storage such as top pocket 146, which may be closed by a zipper 147. The top pocket 146 may comprise an inner pocket 148. Alternatively, zipper 147 may be replaced by other types of fasteners such as buttons, snaps, magnetics or excluded entirely, making an open pocket instead of an enclosure. The front side 105 may comprise an open lower pocket 135. Alternatively, the lower pocket 135 may be closed by fasteners such as zippers, buttons, snaps, or magnetics. The front side 105 may also comprise an upper pocket 140 with zipper closure 141. Alternatively, zipper 141 may be replaced by other types of fasteners such as buttons, snaps, magnetics or excluded entirely, making an open pocket instead of an enclosure. The top pocket 146, the inner pocket 148, the ...

Described is a convertible supply carrier which is configurable by a user as a shoulder bag or as a waist pack. The convertible supply carrier includes a front side, a back side, a top side, a bottom side, a right side, a left side, at least one enclosure, and an adjustable strap. A belt securing mechanism is attached to the back side that removably secures the adjustable strap to the back side to configure the supply carrier as a waist pack. A shoulder strap securing mechanism is attached to both the right side and the left side, wherein the shoulder strap securing mechanism removably secures the adjustable strap to the right side and the left side to configure the supply carrier as a shoulder bag. The adjustable strap is secured to the convertible supply carrier by one of the belt securing mechanism or the shoulder strap securing mechanism.
Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present specification relates generally to convertible supply carriers and more specifically relates to a convertible supply carrier that may be configured by a user as a shoulder bag or as a waist pack.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Nurses work in a fast-paced environment. They constantly move between patient rooms to care for one patient to another in a short span of time. The level of care varies significantly amongst patients from routine or maintenance care to critical or urgent care. Therefore, nurses must have access to a wide variety of supplies, such as pens, paper, flashlights, scissors, tape, IV wipes, flushes and stethoscopes, at all times.[0003]Currently, nurses carry supplies in the pockets of their scrub tops and scrub pants or place them on tabletops. However, the pockets of nursing uniforms do not have sufficient space to carry all of the supplies that nurses are required to use throughout the duration of their shift and placing the...
