Abstract

Claims (20)

1. A carriable device comprising:

a body that comprises a long dimension and a short dimension of a first side and a second, opposing side, wherein the body further comprises a first strap mount on the first side, and a second strap mount on the second side;

a flap that covers an opening to a compartment of the body; and

a strap that comprises an end attached to the body, an opposing end, and a coupling attached to the opposing end, wherein the coupling is connectable to the first strap mount and wherein the coupling is connectable to the second strap mount,

wherein the first side is a back side of the body and wherein the second side is a front side of the body, wherein the end of the strap that is attached to the body is attached at the back side of the body, wherein the coupling of the strap is connected to the first strap mount, the strap is a backpack strap for carrying the body in a vertical orientation of the long dimension, wherein the coupling of the strap is connected to the second strap mount, the strap is a side bag strap for carrying the body in a horizontal orientation of the long dimension, wherein the second strap mount is coverable by the flap when the flap is in a closed position, wherein the second strap mount is exposable by the flap being in at least a partially open position, wherein, in the vertical orientation the opening is oriented horizontally, and wherein, in the horizontal orientation, the opening is oriented vertically.

2. The carriable device of claim 1 , wherein the strap is a first strap and further comprising a second strap.

3. The carriable device of claim 1 , wherein the coupling is rotatably connectable to the first strap mount.

4. The carriable device of claim 1 , wherein the coupling is rotatably connectable to the second strap mount.

5. The carriable device of claim 1 , wherein the first strap mount and the second strap mount are positioned on a common half of the body.

6. The carriable device of claim 5 , wherein the body comprises a top half and a bottom half, wherein the common half is the top half.

7. The carriable device of claim 1 , wherein the body comprises a thickness defined between the front side and the back side.

8. The carriable device of claim 7 , wherein a position of the end of the strap attached to the body and a position of the first strap mount span at least 70 percent of the long dimension of the body and wherein the position of the end of the strap attached to the body and a position of the second strap mount span at least 70 percent of the long dimension of the body.

9. The carriable device of claim 1 , wherein the coupling is a single sided coupling with a single side that is connectable to the first strap mount and that is connectable to the second strap mount.

10. The carriable device of claim 1 , wherein the coupling is a double sided coupling with a first side that is connectable to the first strap mount and a second side that is connectable to the second strap mount.

11. The carriable device of claim 1 , wherein the first mount comprises a bearing assembly.

12. The carriable device of claim 1 , wherein the coupling comprises a bearing assembly.

13. The carriable device of claim 1 , wherein the coupling comprises a latch.

14. The carriable device of claim 1 , wherein the coupling, the first strap mount and the second strap mount comprise magnetic materials.

15. The carriable device of claim 1 , wherein the coupling is rotatably connectable to the first strap mount and wherein the coupling is rotatably connectable to the second strap mount.

16. The carriable device of claim 15 , wherein the end attached to the body is stitched to the body.
