Title: Collectibles With Bundling Strips And Methods of Manufacture Thereof

Description:
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION 
     This application claims priority to and the full benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 62/373,104 filed Aug. 10, 2016, and titled “COLLECTIBLES WITH BUNDLING STRIPS AND METHODS OF MANUFACTURE THEREOF”, the entire contents of which are incorporated by reference. 
    
    
     BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE 
     Traditionally, human beings were limited on how many and as to what items they could carry. Originally, the limit was based on how much a single individual or a group could hold. If there were too many items, this required multiple trips or creative ways to transport materials or belongings. Over time, human beings started creating other means to be able to increase their capacity, creating bags to carts to carriages to cargo and everything in between. 
     Eventually, consumers gained the means of owning automobiles, which in itself naturally allowed the carriage, stowage, and transportation of more items. In conjunction with this increased accessibility of storage on a larger scale, people coupled this ease of use with bags, purses, or briefcases that they could carry from place to place, such as to and from work. This portability of item-carrying storage units, particularly when combined with the ability to operate automobiles, lead to people naturally reaching for essentials while driving. 
     For example, it is not uncommon for someone to reach into their purse to get a cosmetic item while driving, such as lipstick. Due to society&#39;s increased mobility, combined with long commutes, hectic schedules, or a need to touch up or present oneself at their best between meetings or functions, it is not uncommon for someone to take their eyes off the road in search for something to touch up their makeup. This distracts from driving, endangers other drivers, and causes frustration when a sought after item is not quickly accessible. The longer someone searches around in their purse, the more dangerous it is for everyone. 
     SUMMARY OF THE DISCLOSURE 
     What is needed, therefore, is a means of organization that allows someone to quickly identify a necessary item in as safe a method as possible, or to collect loose items to make future identification and use simple, easy, and quick. If a person is able to achieve this, such as in the example described above, it will reduce frustration, increase the safety of others, and facilitate organization. 
     Accordingly, the present disclosure relates generally to the bundling of objects for organization, portability, and ease of access and use. More specifically, the present disclosure describes collectibles with bundling strips that may allow for collectibles to bundle to each other. Further, the present disclosure relates to mechanisms that may allow for bundling and unbundling of an array of collectible items to one or more each other or collectors, including, for example, magnetism, temporary adhesion, or hook and eye loops. In some aspects, collectibles may comprise a range of functionality in conjunction with the bundling, including, for example, coupling devices that help a user identify, track, and measure orientation, statistics, and other needs as programmed or set by a user. 
     Some general aspects may comprise a collectible with a bundling strip, which may include a collectible body; a bundling strip located on or within the collectible body, wherein the bundling strip may include a collecting mechanism that is configured to aggregate a plurality of collectibles with bundling strips. Implementations may include one or more of the following features. In some aspects, at least a portion of the bundling strip may include a magnetic material. In some embodiments, the collectible may include a cosmetic, such as a lipstick. In some implementations, the collectible body may include a base configured to contain a substance and a lid removably attachable to the base. In some aspects, the bundling strip may be located on or within the lid. In some embodiments, the bundling strip may be removable. 
     Some general aspects may comprise a bundling system that may include a collector, which may include a first collecting mechanism that is configured to aggregate a plurality of collectibles with bundling strips, and at least one collectible with bundling strip, wherein the at least one collectible may include a collectible body.

     In some embodiments, the external device  980  may process the information, wherein a user may access the information and related information. For example, the external device  980  may log each use of the smart lipstick collectibles  910 ,  940 ,  960 , wherein the external device  980  may be able to track the popularity of a particular color or brand. The popularity may be tracked based on a single user or multiple users of the smart lipstick collectibles  910 ,  940 ,  960 . 
     In some aspects, the external device  980  may comprise a graphical user interface (GUI) that presents a bank  985  of collectibles that a user may have logged in their profile, which may be organized by collectible type, such as lip cosmetics, eye cosmetics, or hairstyle components. The GUI may present the bank  985  and highlight the activated smart lipstick collectibles  910 ,  940 ,  960 . In some embodiments, the GUI may present trending collectibles  990 , which may show popular collectibles. For example, the popularity may be determined by the number of purchasers. As another example, the popularity may be determined by current active collectibles. In some aspects, the tracking of active collectibles may pair with social media sites, such as Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram. 
     In some implementations, a smart lipstick collectible may include near-field communication protocols to enable two devices when they are brought into proximity with one another. For example, a smart lipstick collectible may be brought towards a phone and the phone may access a data set showing the popularity of the color selected, what other products it pairs with, and other relevant information. A smart lipstick collectible may also ping or vibrate when it is brought within range of another cosmetic item within its pairing family. For example, when a user is in a store trying to find the other item that is recommended when a cosmetic item is brought towards the phone, it will begin to rumble when the user passes over the other item, such as mascara. 
     Referring now to  FIG. 10A , an exemplary vessel collector  1000  with horizontal bundling strips  1005  is illustrated. Referring now to  FIG. 10B , an exemplary vessel collector  1010  with vertical bundling strips  1015  is illustrated.

     Referring now to  FIG. 11A , an exemplary central collector  1100  with a collecting mechanism, wherein the collecting mechanism comprises a series of bundling strips,  1105  is illustrated. A central collector  1100  may expand the number of collectibles that may be bundled. For example, without a central collector  1100 , four collectibles with a bundling strip on one side may be bundled naturally. Using a central collector  1100 , those four may be expanded based on the bundling strip  1105  configuration of the central collector  1100 . Referring now to  FIG. 11B , an exemplary central collector  1100  with bundled collectibles  1110 ,  1120 ,  1130  with bundling strips  1115 ,  1125 ,  1135  is illustrated. 
     Referring now to  FIG. 12A , an exemplary organizing collector  1200  is illustrated. In some aspects, an organizing collector  1200  may comprise a collecting mechanism, such as a series of bundling strips  1205 ,  1210 ,  1215 ,  1220 , wherein each series of bundling strips  1205 ,  1210 ,  1215 ,  1220  may be a variety of shapes and sizes. Referring now to  FIG. 12B , an exemplary bundling system comprising an organizing collector  1200  with a variety of bundled collectibles  1225 ,  1230 ,  1235 ,  1240  is illustrated. 
     For example, long, thin bundling strips  1205  may be useful for small collectibles or thin collectibles, such as pencils or eyeliners  1225 . A broad, long bundling strip  1210  may be useful to bundle a group of long, thin collectibles, such as brushes  1230 , or broad collectibles, such as an eyeglass case. Short bundling strips  1215  may be useful for short, wide collectibles, such as lipsticks  1235 , or for a group of thin, short collectibles, such as bobby pins. Rectangular bundling strips  1220  may be useful for flat collectibles, such as cosmetic cases  1240 . 
     In some aspects, an organizing collector may comprise a partially flexible material, wherein the organizing collector may be collapsible. In some embodiments, the organizing collector may comprise variations in polarity, wherein the variable polarity may maintain the organization, even when the organizing collector is collapsed. For example, the organizing collector may be a portable cosmetic bag, wherein cosmetic collectibles may be organized, bundled, and transported. As another example, an organizing collector may be a first aid kit, and the collectibles may include bandages, ointments, scissors, salves, wraps, and other first aid components. 
     In some aspects, the organizing collector may allow organization of professional tools. For example, each organizing collector may comprise the base dental tools for a standard cleaning. Opening the organizing collector may break a sterile seal, allowing a dentist to access the tools, which may then be put into a sterilization mechanism along with the organizing collector for the next use. 
     In some embodiments, the organizing collector may allow for vertical arrangement of collectibles, wherein the bundling strip may be strong enough to allow for bundling beyond an intermediate object. For example, an organizing collector may allow for a nail-less hanging of collectibles against a wall, wherein the organizing collector may be placed on one side of the wall and the collectible may be placed on the other side of the wall to be mounted. As illustrative examples, mounted collectibles may include decorations, photographs, hooks, paintings, clocks, or other mountable objects. 
     Referring now to  FIG. 13 , an exemplary processing and interface system  1300  is illustrated. In some aspects, access devices  1315 ,  1310 ,  1305 , such as a mobile device  1315  or laptop computer  1310  may be able to communicate with an external server  1325  though a communications network  1320 . The external server  1325  may be in logical communication with a database  1326 , which may comprise data related to identification information and associated profile information. In some examples, the server  1325  may be in logical communication with an additional server  1330 , which may comprise supplemental processing capabilities. 
     In some aspects, the server  1325  and access devices  1305 ,  1310 ,  1315  may be able to communicate with a cohost server  1340  through a communications network  1320 . The cohost server  1340  may be in logical communication with an internal network  1345  comprising network access devices  1341 ,  1342 ,  1343  and a local area network  1344 . For example, the cohost server  1340  may comprise a payment service, such as PayPal or a social network, such as Facebook or a dating website. 
     In some aspects, collectibles may comprise clothing, such as for activities that may expose a participant to a range of ambient conditions. For example, activities that may extend for long periods of time, such as distant hiking, distant cycling, hunting, fishing, or camping, may expose participants to cold, damp conditions in the morning; sun and heat in the afternoon; and dry, cool conditions in the night. Accordingly, clothing may be adaptable to a range of conditions, wherein an item of clothing may comprise a series of collectibles that may be bundled and unbundled as a way to adjust to the changing conditions. 
     In some aspects, collectors may allow for safe and organized bundling. In some embodiments, tools and hobby components may be bundled and oriented, to allow for quick and safe access. For example, needle collectibles for sewing or knitting may be oriented within a collector wherein the sharp ends are oriented away from the opening, limiting exposure of the sharp ends. 
     In some aspects, a collector may comprise a wearable mp3 player holder, wherein collectibles may include an mp3 player, headphones, keys, and a wallet, wherein the collector may allow a runner to exercise with music and other components the runner may carry. In some aspects, collectibles may comprise sport components, such as water bottles, horse whips, extra balls, as non-limiting examples. 
     In some embodiments, collectibles may comprise components for an activity. For example, cleaning collectibles may include brushes, sponges, brooms, vacuum components, and cleaning solutions. As another example, a gardening set may include a collector belt, which may organize a range of gardening tools, such as shovels and hoes. The collector belt may be removed and carried over a lawn, collecting scattered collectibles that a gardener may have accidentally left on the lawn. As another example, art collectibles may include brushes, paints, pencils, and sponges. 
     Other collectibles may include kitchen utensils, which may comprise bundling strips that allow for nested bundling; jewelry, which may benefit from an organizing collector to couple earrings and limit tangling of necklaces; office supplies; toys; automobile components, such as a collectible tire air cap, wherein the air cap may bundle with the hub cap to limit the chance of losing the air cap; pet supplies, such as a leash, collar, and waste bags; medications, such as pill containers or liquid medications with dispensers; public safety components, such as fire hoses to fire extinguisher lines; baby supplies, such as pacifiers and teething devices; keepsakes; and other miscellaneous items, such as reusable grocery bags, which may be adapted into collectibles with an adhesive or ring adapter.
