Abstract

A configurable carrying bag includes a main panel of flexible material and at least one elongated pocket-forming panel of flexible material, overlying and extending across a portion of the main panel. The pocket-forming panel is permanently affixed to the main panel to form an elongated main pocket extending between the overlying panels and extending across the width of the carrying bag, with an elongated opening to the interior of the main pocket extending laterally across the carrying bag. A row of pin eyes closely spaced apart, are affixed adjacent to and are mutually spaced apart along the opening to the main pocket. A plurality of spring clips are each adapted for releasable attachment to the pin eyes, and each clip is selectably movable from a corresponding pin eye between an in-use position and an unused position. In the in-use position, each spring clip is inserted into a selected pin eye to releasably secure the pocket-forming panel to the main panel to form separate, reconfigurable dividers at intervals along the main pocket for configuring the main pocket into smaller pockets of selected width. This provides a way to reconfigure the width of the smaller pockets for matching articles of various sizes. The carrying bag can include a main panel having a flap portion extending away from the pockets for securing the closed carrying bag in a roll-up configuration.
