Flight bag

Abstract

A flight bag has a main compartment that includes a front panel and rear panel. The flight bag includes a first compartment flap affixed to the front panel of the main compartment. When open, the first compartment flap exposes an opening through the front panel and an interior face of the main compartment. The flight bag includes a collapsible pouch affixed to a periphery of the opening and configured to extend across the width of the main compartment. The flight bag also includes a second compartment flap affixed to the interior face of the main compartment disposed opposite the first compartment flap. When both compartment flaps are opened an object may be inserted into the pouch and when first and second compartment flaps are closed, the pouch is enclosed between both compartment flaps.

         6 . The flight bag of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a central pocket affixed to the front panel adjacent to the first compartment flap.

         11 . A flight bag comprising:
 a main compartment having a front panel and rear panel, the main compartment having a length and a width;   a first compartment flap affixed to the front panel, the first compartment flap being selectively moveable between an open position and a closed position, when in the open position the first compartment flap exposes an opening through the front panel into an interior volume of the main compartment;   a collapsible pouch affixed to a periphery of the opening and configured to extend across the width of the main compartment to create an interior compartment residing with the main compartment;   a second compartment flap affixed to an interior face of the front panel and disposed opposite the first compartment flap, the second compartment flap being selectively moveable between an open position and a closed position independent of position of the first compartment flap; and   wherein when the first and second compartment flaps are in their open positions an object may be inserted into the pouch with the pouch extending across the width of the main compartment and when first and second compartment flaps are in their closed positions they form a holding pocket which encloses the pouch between the first and second compartment flaps.   
     
     
         12 . The flight bag of  claim 11  wherein the opening is large enough to let an aviation headset pass through and into the pouch. 
     
     
         13 . The flight bag of  claim 11 , further comprising:
 a third compartment flap affixed to the front panel and spaced apart from the first compartment flap, the third compartment flap being selectively moveable between an open position and a closed position, when in the open position the third compartment flap exposes a second opening through the front panel into the interior volume of the main compartment;   a second collapsible pouch affixed to a periphery of the second opening and configured to extend across the width of the main compartment to create a second interior compartment residing with the main compartment;   a fourth compartment flap affixed to the interior face of the front panel and disposed opposite the third compartment flap, the fourth compartment flap being selectively moveable between an open position and a closed position independent of the third compartment flap; and   wherein when the third and fourth compartment flaps are in their open positions an object may be inserted into the second pouch with the second pouch extending across the width of the main compartment and when third and fourth compartment flaps are in their closed positions they form a second holding pocket which encloses the second pouch between the third and fourth compartment flaps.
