Nike patents bag with strap system to adjust internal space

Patent drawing
Patent drawing from the official filing.

Nike has filed a patent for a bag that includes a built-in adjustment system to change the size of the internal compartment. The design uses a strap attached to the top of the bag and a second strap routed through slits in the back panel to pull the front panel inward or outward.

Why it mattersThis could lead to bags that users can quickly resize to fit different amounts of gear without using external buckles or zippers.

In the filing’s own words

A bag with a compartment including one or more walls, a front panel, and a back panel opposite the front panel, each of the one or more walls, and the front and back panels surrounding an interior volume, wherein the front panel is movable between an open configuration, and a closed configuration, the front panel extending from a bottom end of the compartment to a top end of the compartment opposite the bottom end, and extending between a first side of the compartment and a second side of the compartment opposite the first side. An adjustment system with a base is disposed within the compartment. A first strap extending from a first end is attached at or near a roof of the compartment to a second end opposite the first end. A second strap is routed through the back panel, the second strap configured to act on the first strap.
