Self sealing waterproof bag

Abstract

A waterproof self sealing container sealed by magnet to magnet contact, making the container airtight and water resistant. The water resistant container has a body made of flexible water resistant material. The body is formed as a sheet. An opening is formed at an end of the body. The body opening has a body opening first side and a body opening second side. A first magnet strip is bonded to the body opening first side. A first bonding layer bonds to the body. The first magnet strip is bonded to the first bonding layer and wherein the first bonding layer is bonded to the body opening first side. A second magnet strip is bonded to the body opening second side. A flap magnet contact area is formed where the first magnet strip and the second magnet strip are free from the sidewalls of the body.

1 . A water resistant container comprising:
 a. a body made of flexible water resistant material, wherein the body is formed of a sheet material that comprises sidewalls of the body;   b. an opening formed at an end of the body, wherein the body opening has a body opening first side and a body opening second side;   c. a first magnet strip bonded to the body opening first side;   d. a second magnet strip bonded to the body opening second side;   e. a water resistant seal formed between the first magnet strip and the second magnet strip when the first magnet strip is closed to the second magnet strip to close the opening formed at the end of the body, wherein at a magnet side opposing the water resistant seal, the first magnet strip is bonded to the body opening first side and the second magnet strip is bonded to the body opening second side; and   f. a flap magnet contact area where the first magnet strip and the second magnet strip contact each other, but at least either the first magnet strip or the second magnet strip is free from the sidewalls of the body at the flap magnet contact area not being bonded to the sidewalls of the body, wherein the flap magnet contact area is adjacent to the water resistant seal area.   
     
     
         2 . The water resistant container of  claim 1 , further comprising: a left edge seal and the right edge seal, wherein the left edge seal seals stitching holes on the left edge and wherein the right edge seal seals stitching holes on the right edge, wherein the left edge seal is heat laminated to the left edge, wherein the right edge seal is heat laminated to the right edge. 
     
     
         3 . The water resistant container of  claim 1 , further comprising: a fold edge formed by a fold of the water resistant material to form the fold edge of the body. 
     
     
         4 . The water resistant container of  claim 3 , further comprising: a double fold formed in body material such that the first magnet strip and second magnet strip defines a folding region that is folded twice over the water resistant seal, wherein the double fold is secured to the body by a locking means. 
     
     
         5 . The water resistant container of  claim 1 , wherein the first magnet strip and the second magnet strip have linearly oriented magnetized channels disposed within plastic resin, wherein the plastic resin has lower magnetic properties than the linearly oriented magnetic channels. 
     
     
         6 . The water resistant container of  claim 1 , further comprising: a first left magnet bevel formed at a left side of the first magnet strip; a first right magnet bevel formed at a right side of the first magnet strip; a second left magnet bevel formed at a left side of the second magnet strip; a second right magnet bevel formed at a right side of the second magnet strip. 
     
     
         7 . The water resistant container of  claim 6 , further comprising: a first left magnet bevel tip formed at a left side of the first magnet strip; a first right magnet bevel tip formed at a right side of the first magnet strip; a second left magnet bevel tip formed at a left side of the second magnet strip; a second right magnet bevel tip formed at a right side of the second magnet strip. 
     
     
         8 . The water resistant container of  claim 7 , further comprising: a left edge seal and the right edge seal, wherein the left edge seal seals stitching holes on the left edge and wherein the right edge seal seals stitching holes on the right edge, wherein the left edge seal is heat laminated to the left edge, wherein the right edge seal is heat laminated to the right edge. 
     
     
         9 . The water resistant container of  claim 7 , further comprising: a fold edge formed by a fold of the water resistant material to form the fold edge of the body. 
     
     
         10 . The water resistant container of  claim 9 , further comprising: a double fold formed in body material such that the first magnet strip and second magnet strip defines a folding region that is folded twice over the water resistant seal, wherein the double fold is secured to the body by a locking means. 
     
     
         11 . The water resistant container of  claim 7 , wherein the first magnet strip and the second magnet strip have linearly oriented magnetized channels disposed within plastic resin, wherein the plastic resin has lower magnetic properties than the linearly oriented magnetic channels. 
     
     
         12 . The water resistant container of  claim 1 , further comprising: a middle magnet connection which is where the sidewalls of the body connect to a middle portion of the magnet strips. 
     
     
         13 . The water resistant container of  claim 12 , wherein the first magnet strip and the second magnet strip are made of the same material. 
     
     
         14 . The water resistant container of  claim 12 , wherein the first magnet strip and the second magnet strip are made of different material, wherein the second magnet strip is a ferromagnetic material that has attraction to the first magnet strip. 
     
     
         15 . The water resistant container of  claim 14 , wherein the second magnet strip is a metal leaf spring.
