The present invention “Magnet Bag™” is a small versatile, durable bag which has magnets encased within, as well as a small accessory piece of the same nature which has the option of a strap which enables a shirt attachment. It is trifold approach. A corporate promotional item, everyday consumer item and an assistance piece for people with physical challenges. As an example: a company who has clients with wheelchairs can have Magnet Bag™ printed to their specification and benefits their clients because it is small enough they can attach it to their fridge or wheelchair to hold smaller items. It also applies to the average consumer because Magnet Bag™ can also stand alone, as it can be used for shop applications, side of metal work stations, machines, tool boxes for safety glasses and more.
The dispersing of promotional items and assisting people with physical difficulties are everyday occurrences. Magnet Bag™ was originally created as a solution to a problem for organization indoor/outdoor for underused metal surfaces. Assisting people with physical difficulties, printed for promotional products, industrial organization (particularly safety glasses), celebration keepsakes, school applications as well as home and garden. The present invention relates to an extremely versatile, durable small fabric Magnet Bag™ which has magnetic properties. Magnet Bag™ also can be attached with a strap to an accessory magnet piece and attached through a shirt to assist people with physical difficulties by keeping items close.
“Magnet Bag™” is formed of a durable fabric material. A plurality of magnets are attached on the back and the same material is then folded over and stitched encasing the magnets. Magnet Bag™ also has an accessory piece which allows for it to be attached to itself through fabric for holding on a shirt. Also used on nonmagnetic surfaces with the accessory piece double sided adhesive without a strap, for example sunglasses in a vehicle. Magnet Bag has many applications, for example a sports company who specializes in people with physical restrictions can advertise on Magnet Bag™ and then the company can give it to their athletes who require quick access to everyday items. Magnet Bag™ can attach to the side of the fridge and most metal surfaces and can hold an array of small common items. The object of the present invention is storage versatility, promotion and assisting people.

Magnet Bag™ is a small durable fabric pouch with magnets attached to the rear face and encased in the same fabric and stitched. The Magnet Bag™ accessory piece is a smaller pouch that contains magnets in the same fashion as the Magnet Bag™, with the option of the accessory piece being attached to the Magnet Bag™ by a small nylon strap. Adheres to most metal surfaces by magnetism, for nonmagnetic surface where the small accessory piece is added a double sided adhesive is required. When Magnet Bag is attached to the accessory piece by a nylon strap it allows for the option of a garment to be secured between the Magnet Bag™ and accessory piece. This allows small items to be held in the Magnet Bag and easily accessible to people with physical disabilities because it's within proximity. I designed Magnet Bag™ with the use of a sewing machine, serger, magnets, straps, vinyl and durable indoor/outdoor fabric. The bag can be made in a very clear, step wise manner. The Magnet Bag™ Accessory piece was made of the same material and using the same machines. Magnet Bag™ can be custom printed for promotional use.
1. A small “Magnet Bag™” is a versatile pouch/bag formed of an indoor/outdoor fabric material with multiple magnets encased in the back to form an enclosure. The Magnet Bag Accessory Piece is comprised of a number of small magnets fully enveloped in identical fabric. Magnet Bag's versatility is further displayed by the Magnet Bag™ Accessory Piece which is attached by a small strap to allow for it to be attached to the main Magnet Bag through material for holding on a person's clothing which can assist people with physical challenges by keeping small items close at hand such as sunglasses, reading glasses, pens, pencils, remote controls, etc. Magnet Bag™ can be an organizational aid at home or in the workplace by attaching magnetically to machinery, toolboxes, fridges, filing cabinets, outdoor railings and most metallic surfaces in order to hold small items such as, safety glasses, tools, shop rags, safety gloves, etc. The Accessory Piece also has an application independent of the strap whereby it attaches directly to the Magnet Bag while the opposite side of the Accessory Piece adheres to a non-magnetic surface by using two sided tape which is affixed to the Accessory Piece which allows the Magnet Bag to be removed while the Accessory Piece remains attached to the desired location.
