Abstract:
1. A convertible kit bag for a compact camera system, comprising: a plurality of elongated interconnected cells arrangeable in a single row, each cell having opposed elongated side panels spaced apart by opposing front and rear panels and a bottom panel at one end of each cell so as to define open-ended receptacles for a compact camera and compact camera accessory, wherein adjacent cells are connected by a vertical hinge between the rear panels; a top portion having a top flap for covering the open ends of the receptacles and a front flap connected thereto for covering at least a portion of the front panels when the top portion is in a closed position and for revealing the receptacles when the top portion is in an open position; left side and right side tension connectors located on a leftmost and on a rightmost side panel of outermost cells; a carry strap having a first end connected to the leftmost side panel and a distal second end connected to the rightmost side panel; and, an elongated tension strip defining a longitudinal axis, connected to the front flap having means for cooperatively engaging with the tension connectors and also having a length selected such that with the top flap in the closed position and the tension strip engaged with the tension connectors the cells are laterally compressed and form a substantially rigid, unitary structure, and wherein when the top portion is in the open position the adjacent cells can pivot on the hinge so that the bag when hanging by the carry strap on a user substantially conforms to the curvature of the user's body.
