Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present disclosure relates to carry bags for personal items, including, but not limited to, back packs, handbags, satchel bags and shoulder bags.BACKGROUND[0002]Event organisers and venue operators have limits on the types of personal effects that patrons can bring into an event or venue. For example, venue operators typically have ban on glass containers, such as beer bottles, because intoxicated patrons may throw them into a crowd so that other patrons are injured. Intoxicated patrons may become violent and, therefore, it is important that dangerous weapons are not readily accessible, such as a broken glass bottles, guns and knives.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent text describes a method for improving bag searches by adding concealed inspection panels to bags. These panels can be visually accessed to speed up the inspection process and reduce the need to open bags. Additionally, the panels can be concealed when the bag is being carried to provide privacy. This concealment can be achieved in various ways to attract event patrons to the practical benefits of the carry bags with inspection panels. The technical effects of this method include improved efficiency and privacy.

Problems solved by technology

For example, venue operators typically have ban on glass containers, such as beer bottles, because intoxicated patrons may throw them into a crowd so that other patrons are injured.

Intoxicated patrons may become violent and, therefore, it is important that dangerous weapons are not readily accessible, such as a broken glass bottles, guns and knives.

In some cases, the queues for bag inspections are lengthy because the security personnel must properly inspect each carry bag.

In such cases, rushing the inspections will increase the risk that banned objects are inadvertently allowed or smuggled into the event or venue.
