Patents Act 1990 COMPLETE SPECIFICATION INNOVATIVE PATENT CARRY BAG The following statement is a full description of this invention, including the best method of performing it known to me.

This invention relates to the improvements in carry bags.

There has been many proposals of carry bags, from handbags and shoulder strap bags of various description, to waistbags.

Depending on the situation, these bags can have a disadvantage especially when performing tasks that require the use of the upper body. In the case of handbags where it takes up a useful appendage in order to carry it and with shoulder strap bags which have a tendancy to move uncontrollably when changing bodily postion. Giving them both the tendency of being restrictive and having to be put down away from the body, risking security in order not to get in the way. Also there are waistbags which leave the upper body free for movement, but don't have the option of positions like some upper body bags, which can have both carry handles and a strap on the one bag.

These problems are overcome by the present invention that provides a bag which can be carried, either around the waist or now also around the leg of the user, keeping the upper body free for tasks and giving the user the option of position to carry on the lower body.

In one form of the invention, it consists of a rectangular shaped bag and a strap with a buckle inserted through two elongate slots on the base of the bag, positioned in the middle of the left and right verticle sides of the bag. And a strap with a buckle inserted into a elongate slot on the base in the middle of the top of the bag. The first said strap coming together at the buckle around the leg and the top strap coming together at the buckle around a belt or a loop clip modified onto the garment. This forms the first position of the bag, on the leg.

In another form of the invention, it consists of a rectangular shaped bag, with the two straps coming together at one of the buckles forming one long strap, which is inserted into two elongate slots on the base of the bag located at the top of the left and right verticals of the bag, the strap coming together at the other buckle around the waist. Forming another position of the bag on the waist.

The bag may be made of any suitable material, either natural or man made.

The strap may be made of any suitable material, either natural or man made.

The bag may be of any shape, size or configuration.
