However, when the items are taken out or consumed upon arrival, these bags might become troublesome.
On the other hand, the weather may change suddenly or other unexpected events happen during the travel, thus, we might need to put on extra clothes.
It would be embarrassing if we don't carry enough clothes.
If we still have some other things to carry, it will be very inconvenient.
Therefore, the bag attached to the garment cannot function as other common bags to store lots of things.ii.
Some convertible bags or convertible garments are subject to a complex operation to finish the conversion, which is very inconvenient.iii.
As the bag is inside the garment, the user will feel very uncomfortable after putting on the garment due to the existence of the bag.
In addition, the existing convertible bags are generally made of waterproof or stiff materials, which would make the wearers very uncomfortable.
Moreover, the converted garments are generally relative large in size, monotonous in style and nonaesthetic in appearance.

Snap fasteners 5 and 6 could further be correspondingly provided on the bag cover 2 and main body 1 to enable the bag cover 2 to abut against the main body 1 closely. The strap 3 is detachably connected to the main body 1 by virtue of buckles 7 as shown in a larger scale in FIG. 5. The above zippers, snap fasteners and buckles are interchangeable, or could be replaced by other accessories, such as velcros, buttons or pins.

[0043]Zippers 8 and 9 are provided at the bottom part of the main body 1 cor...

second embodiment

[0048]FIGS. 15-23 illustrate the converting operation from the present invention to a jacket. Firstly, as shown in FIGS. 15 and 16, the buckles 7 are released to detach the strap 3 from the main body 1. Then, as shown in FIG. 17, the snap fasteners 5 and 6 are unbuttoned and the zipper 4 is unzipped, to detach the bag cover 2. Next, as shown in FIGS. 18 and 19, the snap fasteners 12 are unbuttoned, and the inner bag 11 is taken out. Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 20, the zippers 8 and 9 are unzipped.

Abstract

A convertible bag comprises a main bag body (1; 21; 31; 41; 51) and a first accessory. The main bag body (1; 21; 31; 41; 51) forms a garment when it is in its expanding state and the first accessory is sewed in a proper position of the main bag body (1; 21; 31; 41; 51). When the garment is converted into the main hag body (1; 21; 31; 41; 51), the first accessory is closed so that one portion of the garment is stably hided inside the other portion of the garment. The convertible bag may be a satchel, a handbag, a handy bag or a backpack. The convertible bag may also include a bag cover (2; 22; 32; 42; 52), straps (3; 23; 33; 43; 53) and an inner bag (11; 29; 39; 59). The first accessory is a slide fastener, a buckle, a fastener, a magic patch or a four-part button. The garment is a coat, a shirt, a T-shirt, a sweater, a vest, a skirt or trousers.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]This present invention relates to a convertible bag, and more particularly, relates to a convertible bag which could be converted into a garment.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]People take bags to store various articles when they go out. Generally, bags are only used for storing items, but have rarely been used for other functions. Especially, we need bigger bags for storing different types of items during a travel. However, when the items are taken out or consumed upon arrival, these bags might become troublesome. On the other hand, the weather may change suddenly or other unexpected events happen during the travel, thus, we might need to put on extra clothes. It would be embarrassing if we don't carry enough clothes. Then, if our bags could be converted to garments, the problem would be solved.[0003]Likewise, in case of the temperature variation, such as entering into a warm shopping mall from a cold area, we need to spare a hand for carrying our garme...
