DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Before the present invention is described in greater detail, it should be noted that the similar elements are denoted by the same reference numerals throughout the disclosure.
Referring to FIGS. 4 and 5, a wearable bag 5 of the first preferred embodiment comprises a body 51, two shoulder straps 52, and a zipper 53; wherein, the body 51 is divided into two symmetrical panels 51 a and 51 b, which separately have an upper margin 511, a bottom margin 512, a flank margin 513, and a connecting portion 514 disposed around both circumferences thereof; additionally, a plurality of pockets 54 are disposed inside the body 51, which are sewed to the front side thereof and can be slantingly arranged, whereby the present invention is conducive to easily take out the article 6 within the pockets 54 and to decrease the inconvenience while using.
Still further, two shoulder straps 52 are separately disposed on two panels 51 a and 51 b, and each of the shoulder straps 52 comprises two sides thereof for connecting to the upper margin 511 of the body 51, where an opening 521 surrounded by two flank sides thereof is formed; moreover, an adjustable fastener 55 is disposed on the opening 521 for adjusting the dimension thereof, which can be arranged as a zipper, a plurality of buttons, or other suitable fastener devices. The arrangement of zipper is adopted in this preferred embodiment and is illustrated in the Figures.
A zipper 53 comprises two zipper tracks 531 disposed thereon; two zipper tabs 532 and 533 are respectively disposed on two distal sides of the zipper tracks 531; wherein, a linking line 535 is defined between the zipper tabs 532 and 533; the zipper tracks 531 extend from one side of the linking line 535 and terminate at the other side thereof, along the outer circumference of the shoulder traps 52 and through the flank margins 513 and the bottom margins 512 of the panels 51 a and 51 b. Furthermore, two zipper tracks 531 are formed in a state of detachment by the zipper tabs 532 and 533 sliding along the zipper tracks 531 and removing toward a reverse direction, thus converting from a vest into a bag as shown in FIG. 6.
In use, the present invention is assumed to be initially arranged as a bag shown in FIG. 6. The zipper tracks 531 are detached by the zipper tabs 532 and 533 drawn apart toward an opposite direction and both stopped at two distal sides of the linking line 535, which result in separating two panels 51 a and 51 b for converting into a vest 5 as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5. As a result, an operator can respectively raise his arms through the openings 521 of the shoulder straps 52 and simultaneously put the personal article 6 into the pockets 54, such that the conversion of the vest 5 with the pocket 54 disposed in the body 51 and slantingly sewed to the front side thereof is conducive to reduce the possibility of being robbed for promoting the security defense.
Still referring to FIG. 4 to FIG. 6, relatively, the present invention is assumed to be initially arranged as a vest shown in FIG. 4. While drawing the zipper tabs 532 and 533 separately toward the direction of the bottom margins 512 and of the upper margins 511, the panels 51 a and 51 b are interlocked together as shown in FIG. 6, such that the shoulder straps 53 is worn to the shoulder of the operator by stretching his arm through the openings 521, whose dimension can be adjusted by the adjustable fastener 55. Additionally, the operator can simply take the article 6 in the pocket 54 with slightly pulling the zipper taps 532 and 533 apart, so as to increase the convenience and prevent from entirely drawing the junction of the panels 51 a and 51 b apart while carrying the articles, thus decreasing the security leak.
Referring to FIGS. 7 and 8, a wearable bag 5 of the second preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises the similar elements, operation, and the effects as the first preferred embodiment. Notably, two zipper tracks 531 extend from one side of the linking line 535 and terminate at the other side thereof, directly through the upper margins 511, the flank margins 513 and the bottom margins 512 of the panels 51 a and 51 b. In use, while the present invention is assumed to be initially arranged as a bag shown in FIG. 8, the panels 51 a and 51 b are detached by the zipper tabs 532 and 533 sliding toward the reverse direction to form a vest as shown in FIG. 7, thus the operator can easily put on the body 51 by stretching his arm through the shoulder straps 52.
Relatively, while the present invention is assumed to be initially arranged as a vest shown in FIG. 7, the zipper tabs 532 and 533 are separately sliding toward the direction of the bottom margins 512 and of the upper margins 511, thus the zipper 53 are interlocked together to form the bag 5 as shown in FIG. 8. The effects of the second preferred embodiment are the same as the first preferred embodiment, which are accordingly omitted.
To sum up, the present invention takes advantage of a wearable bag which can be alternatively converted into a vest or a bag by means of the movement of two zipper tabs of the zipper, thereby providing with multiple uses, and simultaneously reducing the possibility of being robbed for increasing the security defense.
While we have shown and described the present invention with reference to the specific preferred embodiment, it should be clear to those skilled in the art that further embodiments may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
