ABSTRACT:
A multiple use pack is designed for convenience, security and optimal use of space and structures which can be sued as a waist pack, a day backpack or a shoulder bag. A back face of the waist pack slides by means of a long belt loop on a removable, adjustable belt with quick release buckles allowing the waist pack to serve as a fanny pack/belly pack. The waist pack converts into a day backpack by opening a zippered main compartment posterior to the waist pack's main storage compartment. The zipper is stopped by a strip of fabric located in the middle bottom of the waist pack's main storage compartment connected to the middle bottom of the back face of the waist pack. The connecting fabric strip becomes a combined zipper stop and weight-bearing hinge which keeps the zipper slider from being pulled apart by the weight of items stored in the pack when used in the day backpack mode. Most importantly the fabric strip becomes a hinge which allows the back face of the waist pack to become the bottom of the day backpack and the waist pack main storage compartment to become an anterior storage compartment for the day backpack.
