For example, a first storage container may be blue and black, while a second storage container is green and black, while a third storage container is red and blue. A user may keep a first type of devices in the first storage container, a second type of devices in the second storage container, and a third type of devices in the third storage container. The visual differences provided by the multi-tone coloring of the storage containers allow for quick identification of which storage container contains which type of device or item. This quick identification is further assisted by the open nature of the storage void, which allows for a portion of each storage container to be visible above wall 1306 or other walls. In some examples, the multi-tone coloring also can assist in preventing sun, ultraviolet, or other finish damage to items stored within the storage containers.
Window pocket 1336 can be defined by wall 1306 or other walls, or a storage pocket. The window pocket 1336 may have a securing mechanism, such as, but not limited to a zipper, snaps, buttons, magnets, or other securing devices or combination thereof to close an opening that allows for items to be placed within the window pocket. In at least one example, the window pocket 1336 may also have a set of material coupled to it that creates a space or void sufficient to receive or hold an item placed within the window pocket 1336.
The storage pockets 1620, 1624, in at least one example, may also have a slip pocket 1622 having elastic or other material having elastic properties and attached to the storage pocket 1620, 1624 or walls. In some examples, the elastic or other material may be combined with a webbing or mesh that allows for a configuration that prevents items stored in the slip pocket 1622 from being released. The elastic or other material may be attached to the storage pocket or wall through a stitching or other connection type such as glue, magnets, buttons, snaps, or a combination thereof, or other connection types.
Additional material sections may be added to the storage pockets 1620, 1624 or walls for stability or accenting. In at least one example, the material sections may allow for a holster 1628 or loop strap to be coupled to the storage apparatus. The holster or loop strap can be configured to receive a coupling devices or items such as but not limited to carabiners, locks, rope, string, netting, coats, cases, cords, glasses, straps, combinations thereof, or other devices or items. A pass-through aperture or plug may allow for cords or cables, such as but not limited to earphones, headphones, charging cables, to pass through and be coupled to various devices. A set of securing points or can be coupled to one of the walls and configured to allow for a strap or fluid resistant cover to be utilized. In at least one example, a fluid resistant cover allows for fluid to be prevented from entering a storage void. One or more securing straps may also be coupled to the walls or storage pockets 1620, 1624 to secure one or more storage containers 1618B within a storage void. The securing straps can utilize buckles or snaps, or other manners of securing to ensure that the storage containers cannot be removed from the storage void without deliberate action from a user. In at least one example, the securing straps may include multiple sections or portions that may individually be coupled to wall 1604, 1608 or storage pockets 1620, 1624 at one end (first end), and have a portion of a multi-point securing mechanism at a second end distal from the first end, to allow for all the sections or portions to be secured together. One or more carrying straps may also be utilized, along with a handle 1630 that may be coupled to one of the carrying straps in some examples.
The storage apparatus 1600 may have a fluid resistant cover that can assist in prevent fluid from building up within the storage void. In at least one example, the fluid resistant cover may include an elastic band or other elastic like material that can be secured to the securing points shown in
While this disclosure has been particularly shown and described with reference to preferred embodiments, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and detail may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. The inventors expect skilled artisans to employ such variations as appropriate, and the inventors intend the invention to be practiced otherwise than as specifically described herein. Accordingly, this disclosure includes all modifications and equivalents of the subject matter recited in the claims appended hereto as permitted by applicable law. Moreover, any combination of the above-described elements in all possible variations thereof is encompassed by the disclosure unless otherwise indicated herein or otherwise clearly contradicted by context.
While various embodiments in accordance with the principles disclosed herein have been described above, it should be understood that they have been presented by way of example only, and not limitation. Thus, the breadth and scope of this disclosure should not be limited by any of the above-described exemplary embodiments, but should be defined only in accordance with any claims and their equivalents issuing from this disclosure. Furthermore, the above advantages and features are provided in described embodiments, but shall not limit the application of such issued claims to processes and structures accomplishing any or all of the above advantages.
Additionally, the section headings herein are provided for consistency with the suggestions under 37 C.F.R. 1.77 or otherwise to provide organizational cues. These headings shall not limit or characterize the invention(s) set out in any claims that may issue from this disclosure. Specifically, and by way of example, although the headings refer to a “Technical Field,” the claims should not be limited by the language chosen under this heading to describe the so-called field. Further, a description of a technology as background information is not to be construed as an admission that certain technology is prior art to any embodiment(s) in this disclosure. Neither is the “Brief Summary” to be considered as a characterization of the embodiment(s) set forth in issued claims. Furthermore, any reference in this disclosure to “invention” in the singular should not be used to argue that there is only a single point of novelty in this disclosure. Multiple embodiments may be set forth according to the limitations of the multiple claims issuing from this disclosure, and such claims accordingly define the embodiment(s), and their equivalents, that are protected thereby. In all instances, the scope of such claims shall be considered on their own merits in light of this disclosure, but should not be constrained by the headings set forth herein.
