FIELD OF THE INVENTION
Generally, the present disclosure relates to the field of flexible bags. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to a collapsibly erectable bag.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Carrying devices such as bags are a vital accessory item that provides a user with enhanced convenience and capability of carrying a large number of items. While carrying devices such as bags have existed for a certain period of time, additional components have yet to be implemented into existing bags to provide the user even further capability.
Existing bags are deficient with regard to several aspects. For instance, the bag does not allow for easy collapsing of the bag. Furthermore, the bag does not allow for easy erecting of the bag.
Therefore, there is a need for an improved collapsibly erectable bag that may overcome one or more of the above-mentioned problems and/or limitations.

The present disclosure contains headers. It should be understood that these headers are used as references and are not to be construed as limiting upon the subjected matter disclosed under the header.
The present disclosure includes many aspects and features. Moreover, while many aspects and features relate to, and are described in the context of a collapsibly erectable bag, embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to use only in this context.
Overview:
The present disclosure describes a collapsibly erectable bag. Further, the present disclosure may be a bag apparatus consisting of different compartments, sizes, and proportions that pops open and stays open. Further, in some embodiments, the bag apparatus may be referred to hereinafter as “The Pop Open Shopping Bag”.
Further, the present disclosure may be a bag consisting of different compartments, sizes, proportions and compartments to provide the user enhanced convenience and flexibility. Further, the present disclosure may be an improved version of existing fabric and plastic bags of varying sizes and proportions. Further, the disclosed bag may be intended to be used as a consumer item to make it easier to put items into the bag when shopping, as well as having better stability when full and being transported home in a car. Further, the bag may be much better than existing shopping bags because it stays open when it should and closes down when a user wants. Further, the bag may be much more stable in the car when carrying groceries home. Further, double-wall design may allow for heavier loads to be carried.
Further, in some embodiments, the disclosed bag may consist of a double-walled rectangular fabric, plastic, or other man-made or natural material bag with attached carrying handles as well as a small hanger loop for wall storage, and possibly a small pocket on one side to carry a pad and pen. Further, each end of the bag may include a spring using a proprietary design, or a sheet of thin, springy plastic or other similar flexible, springy material. At each side of the bag may be sheets of springy plastic or non-springy plastic, cardboard, or other natural or man-made material. Further, the sheets may be then sandwiched between an outer bag and an inner lining of a natural or man-made material. Further, seams are sewn dosed, thereby trapping the spring or sheets in place.
Halfway up the outer edges of the front of the bag between the seam and the carrying handle strap on each side is mounted an element of Velcro, magnets or other fastening material, man-made or natural. At the same height on the outer edges of the back of the bag are mounted loops that have the fastening material attached.
To close the bag, the bag is laid down on the back with one hand on each small side of the bag. Thumbs press down on the middle point while fingers push the middle of small sides towards each other. As sides are held down, fingers bring loops over towards the center of the bag until fasteners on loops contact fasteners on the side of the bag. As hands release loops, fasteners keep the bag shut flat if using the spring, or nearly flat, but not completely, if using an alternate material.
To open the bag, one hand grabs each loop and pulls sharply away from each other. This releases the grip of the fasteners and allows the spring or springy plastic material component inside each end to flex out flat and spring the bag open.
The rigidity of the spring or plastic material and the cardboard insert components combine to give the bag an upright stance function.
Further, in some embodiments, the inner bag liner component can be made of a waterproof material.
Further, the present disclosure may use a proprietary torsion spring design, it is used to open the Pop Open Shopping Bag but can be applied to any use which requires a spring that will fold either partially or flat and then open.
The individual measurements can be adjusted to fit any application. Further, the spring may be of whatever dimensions, material type, and thickness necessary to give the required spring return strength and durability for the desired application.
The shape of the moving arms can be varied to fit the desired application shape and is not limited to a rectangular design.
The spring can be independently used inside a Pop Open Shopping Bag or other application, or it can have rigid materials attached to it to create an even straighter or flatter surface if required. While the spring may have one shape, the attached rigid materials can be of any shape desired.
