The present invention further comprises a magnetic modularity system to attach said magnetic attachment bag with additional pouches, bags, accessories, and inserts.
While exercising at a gym, a well-known and common predicament is the dilemma of where to place items. Essential items, such as phones, keys, wallets, water bottles, or headphones, are placed on the floor. Especially in busy areas, floor space may be limited, preventing the use of larger bags for organization. Individuals in this situation may struggle to find a convenient and accessible solution for storage and organization. In a public space such as a gym, the floor can be dirty and unsanitary. Placing items on the floor loosely may also run the risk of fallen objects crushing the items, the risk of someone else stepping on the items, and the risk of theft. Even in scenarios where an individual uses a bag, the bag will still likely be placed directly on the floor. In this scenario, it is also likely that an individual would not put their phone in the bag for easy accessibility. During other activities such as sporting activities, construction trades, or general lifestyle use, individuals continue to lack efficient methods of attachment, multi-functional storage, organization, convenience, and accessibility.
Other solutions such as gym lockers can be insufficient to meet a user's needs. Individuals often want to keep their essential items with them and not deal with the hassle of locking and unlocking a locker. Individuals may express concern over using a locker still running the risk of theft and unauthorized access. In other scenarios, an individual may leave the majority of their items in their car. However, those individuals will still likely carry their phone, keys, or water bottle during exercise. During many exercises, it is unviable to simply carry these items in pants pockets from which the items may fall out. Therefore, there exists a need to provide a bag that can organize and retain items while keeping the items and the bag itself off of dirty floors in an accessible, convenient manner.
An objective of the present invention is to provide a magnetic attachment bag that can securely attach to magnetized surfaces, allowing users to carry and store personal items off the ground. The present invention provides users with convenient storage options, especially in areas where floor space is limited. By attaching the present invention to a surface, users can access their items without the inconvenience of reaching down. The present invention allows for accessible and convenient placement of storage by providing integrated pockets for quick access to items such as a phone.
While prior art may offer magnetic attachment systems, the prior art lacks functional design and carrying options catering to the storage requirements of users. The prior art lacks user experience for ease of accessibility to devices and items and has limited security features. The prior art does not embody aesthetics, design, or ease of functionality for semi-permanent use. One of the main drawbacks of existing bags and storage systems, even those utilizing magnetic attachment, is the lack of modularity and customization. A user is unable to adjust existing bags depending on storage requirements and needs. There exists a need for a comprehensive solution with versatile carrying options, accessibility, and enhanced security.
Another objective of the present invention is to provide a magnetic modularity system that allows users to magnetically attach bags together or with additional pouches, bags, accessories, or inserts. Said additional pouches, bags, accessories, or inserts can be used standalone or as a part of the present invention's magnetic modularity system when needed. Said magnetic modularity system provides a versatile storage and organization system that users can add onto depending on storage needs. By providing different sized modules, the present invention allows users to tailor bags to match their storage and organization requirements at any time. Said magnetic modularity system is futureproof, allowing users to later add modules as new designs continue to become available.
The present invention is a magnetic attachment bag comprising an integrated magnetic attachment system that allows said magnetic attachment bag to securely attach to magnetized surfaces. The present invention further comprises a magnetic modularity system to attach said magnetic attachment bag with additional pouches, bags, accessories, and inserts. By utilizing said modularity system throughout additional embodiments of magnetic attachment bags, a user can mount magnetic attachment bags to each other. Said magnetic attachment system further comprises a back panel with at least one integrated neodymium magnet positioned strategically for attachment to magnetized surfaces. Said magnet is encapsulated within said back panel and is shielded to prevent interference with the contents of said magnetic attachment bag, ensuring a secure attachment while maintaining said magnetic attachment bag's functionality as a storage unit. The present invention is intended to be easily attached and removed from surfaces that are magnetic.
In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the present invention comprises at least one compartment for storing items, such as phones, keys, wallets, headphones, and other items. In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the present invention further comprises a pocket designed to securely hold various items such as a water bottle.
All illustrations of the drawings are for the purpose of describing selected versions of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
