Flexible and Transparent Modular Pack and Carrier

Abstract

A clothing carrier includes a flexible and transparent base sheet, said base sheet has multiple sets of opposing horizontal flaps, flexible and transparent vertical flaps attached to or integral with the main body of said base sheet, multiple detachable flap attachments configured such that said horizontal flaps and said vertical flap can be configured to form a series of clothing compartments, and a Swiss roll fastening mechanism. The carrier is adapted to be rolled from the unrolled configuration into a rolled configuration and fastened in the rolled configuration using the Swiss roll fastening mechanism. In alternatives, the carrier may be folded in a flip-flap/Z-fold configuration and secured by fastening mechanism in such configuration.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A system for packing, comprising:
 a backing;   a base flap connected to the backing for folding against the backing;   a left side flap connected to the backing, for folding against the base flap when folded against the backing; and   a right side flap connected to the backing, for folding against the left side flap when folded against the base flap.   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 the backing provides more than one compartment each formed of the base flap, the left side flap and the right side flap.   
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a connector fixed to a side of the base flap opposing the backing when the base flap is folded against the backing; and   a mating connector fixed to a side of the left side flap for attachment to the connector when the left side flap is folded against the base flap.   
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 3 , further comprising:
 a second connector fixed to another side of the left side flap; and   a second mating connector fixed to a side of the right side flap for attachment to the second connector when the right side flap is folded against the left side flap.   
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 4 , wherein the backing, together with the base flap, the right side flap, and the left side flap, as each folded, forms a pocket for containing an article. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 4 , further comprising:
 the backing provides more than one unit of the base flap, the left side flap and the right side flap, for forming respective pockets for containing respective articles.   
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 6 , wherein the backing, with respective pockets containing articles, is rollable. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the backing, the base flap, the left side flap, the right side flap, are each translucent to allow viewing. 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 7 , further comprising:
 a shoulder strap rolled into the backing, the shoulder strap provides a handle for carrying the backing as rolled.   
     
     
         10 . A method for packing, comprising:
 providing a rollable backing with at least one compartment each for an article storage.   
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 10 , further comprising:
 providing each of the at least one compartment with a base flap, left flap and right flap, each flap is foldable towards the backing.   
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11 , further comprising:
 placing an article against the backing, between the base flap, the left flap, and the right flap;   folding the base flap against the article and backing;   folding the left flap against the base flap; and   folding the right flap against the left flap.   
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 12 , further comprising:
 repeating the steps of placing, folding the base flap, folding the left flap, and folding the right flap for each of the at least one compartment.   
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 13 , further comprising:
 rolling the backing upon completion of the steps of placing, folding the base flap, folding the left flap, and folding the right flap for each of the at least one compartment, to retain each article in the roll.   
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 14 , further comprising;
 placing a strap against the backing prior to the step of rolling, to form a handle of the strap upon the step of rolling.   
     
     
         16 . A clothing carrier, comprising:
 (a) a flexible and transparent base sheet, said base sheet having multiple sets of opposing horizontal flaps;   (b) flexible and transparent vertical flaps attached to or integral with the main body of said base sheet;   (c) multiple detachable flap attachment means configured such that said horizontal flaps and said vertical flap can be configured to form a series of clothing compartments; and   (d) a Swiss roll fastening mechanism;   wherein the carrier is adapted to be rolled from the unrolled configuration into a rolled configuration and fastened in the rolled configuration using the Swiss roll fastening mechanism.   
     
     
         17 . The system of  claim 5 , wherein the pocket may be variably sized to accommodate contents of differing volume. 
     
     
         18 . (canceled) 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 13 , further comprising:
 Folding the backing as a flip-flap/Z-fold configuration upon completion of the steps of placing, folding the base flap, folding the left flap, and folding the right flap for each of the at least one compartment, to retain each article in the configuration.   
     
     
         20 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a second backing;   a second base flap connected to the second backing for folding against the second backing;   a second left side flap connected to the second backing, for folding against the second base flap when folded against the second backing; and   a second right side flap connected to the second backing, for folding against the second left side flap when folded against the second base flap; and   a connector for removably fixing the second backing to the backing.
