Magic bags
Abstract
A grocery storage system includes two or more bags having retractable members whose faces comprise connecting means such as Velcro material allowing the bags to connect to one another. The bags can be placed inside a shopping trolley in an accordion fashion facilitating separation of different grocery items and convenience of portability. The retractable members facilitate use of the storage system in shopping trolleys of different sizes. The bags include different type pockets which can be used for different items, such as bottles, fragile items such as eggs, and personal items such as the shopper's wallet or smartphone. Grips which may include Velcro patch coupled with two distal bags are used to secure the storage system within the shopping trolley. Bags can be made from fabric having lower sections made from fish-net or transparent material. One of the bags maybe, selectively, made from heat-insulating material facilitating control of temperature of grocery items.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat is claimed is:
1 . A grocery storage system, comprising two or more bags, wherein the two or more bags comprise a first distal bag and a second distal bag, and wherein each of the two or more bags has a generally cuboid shape having a bag-front face, a bag-rear face, a bag-right face, a bag-left face, and a bag-bottom face, and wherein each of the two or more bags further comprises:
(a) two retractable members coupled with two top edges of the bag-front face and the bag-rear face, wherein each of the two retractable members has a generally cuboid shape comprising a member-front face and a member-rear face, and wherein each of the member-front face and member-rear face includes three member-connecting means; and wherein at least one of the two or more bags further comprises at least one of: (b) one or more beverage-content pockets coupled with inside surface of at least one of the bag-right face, and the bag-left face; and (c) a first rigid compartment coupled with inside surface of at least one of the bag-front face and the bag-rear face.
2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein each of the two or more bags further comprises:
(d) a first strap coupled with outside surface of the bag-rear face; and (e) a second strap coupled with outside surface of the bag-front face.
3 . The system of claim 2 , wherein each of the two or more bags further comprises:
(f) a first pocket coupled with one of outside surface and inside surface of one of the bag-front face, the bag-rear face, the bag-right face, and the bag-left face.
4 . The system of claim 1 , wherein a lower section of at least one of the bag-left face and bag-right face is made from at least one of a fish-net material and transparent material.
5 . The system of claim 1 , wherein an upper section of outside surface of the bag-rear face of the first distal bag comprises a first trolley-connecting means and a lower section of outside surface of the bag-rear face of the first distal bag comprises a system-connecting means.
6 . The system of claim 5 , wherein the first trolley-connecting means comprises a first button and a first Velcro patch and the system-connecting means comprises a second button.
7 . The system of claim 6 , wherein an upper section of outside surface of the bag-front face of the second distal bag comprises a second trolley-connecting means.
8 . The system of claim 7 , wherein the second trolley-connecting means comprises a second Velcro patch.
9 . The system of claim 8 , further comprising a trolley and wherein the two retractable members are disposed on two axial edges of the trolley.
10 . The system of claim 9 , wherein each of the three member-connecting means comprises a Velcro strip, wherein the first trolley-connecting means is wrapped around a first transversal edge of the trolley and the first Velcro patch is coupled with a first center Velcro strip of the member-rear face of the first distal bag, and wherein the second trolley-connecting means is wrapped around a second transversal edge of the trolley and the second Velcro patch is coupled with a second center Velcro strip of the member-front face of the second distal bag.
11 . The system of claim 1 , wherein each of the two or more bags is made from fabric.
12 . The system of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the two or more bags is made from heat-insulating material.
13 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the rigid compartment is made from hard plastic.
14 . The system of claim 1 , wherein height of consecutive bags decreases by a predetermined percentage.
15 . The system of claim 14 , wherein the predetermined percentage is equal to 5%.
16 . A method of storing grocery, comprising:
(i) providing for a grocery storage system, said system comprising two or more bags, wherein the two or more bags comprise a first distal bag and a second distal bag, and wherein each of the two or more bags has a generally cuboid shape having a bag-front face, a bag-rear face, a bag-right face, a bag-left face, and a bag-bottom face, and wherein each of the two or more bags further comprises: (a) two retractable members coupled with two top edges of the bag-front face and the bag-rear face, wherein each of the two retractable members has a generally cuboid shape comprising a member-front face and a member-rear face, and wherein each of the member-front face and member-rear face includes three member-connecting means; and wherein at least one of the two or more bags further comprises at least one of: (b) one or more beverage-content pockets coupled with inside surface of at least one of the bag-right face, and the bag-left face; and (c) a first rigid compartment coupled with inside surface of at least one of the bag-front face and the bag-rear face.
17 . The method of claim 16 , wherein each of the two or more bags further comprises:
(d) a first strap coupled with outside surface of the bag-rear face; and (e) a second strap coupled with outside surface of the bag-front face.
18 . The method of claim 17 , wherein each of the two or more bags further comprises:
(f) a first pocket coupled with one of outside surface and inside surface of one of the bag-front face, the bag-rear face, the bag-right face, and the bag-left face.
19 . The method of claim 16 , wherein a lower section of at least one of the bag-left face and bag-right face is made from at least one of a fish-net material and transparent material.
20 . The method of claim 16 , wherein an upper section of outside surface of the bag-rear face of the first distal bag comprises a first trolley-connecting means and a lower section of outside surface of the bag-rear face of the first distal bag comprises a system-connecting means.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
