Lockable roll-top bag

Abstract

The lockable roll-top bag of the present invention includes a bag body, and a closing strap which permits a sidewall of the bag body to be folded and closed, with a strap lock provided to secure and lock the ends of the closing strap to maintain the bag in a closed and locked condition. The strap lock not only acts to close and lock the closing strap, but also permits the bag to be secured, in a closed and locked condition, to an associated object or structure. The bag and its contents can thereby be conveniently left unattended, such as at a park or beach, without concern of theft of the bag, or its contents.
