Background Art Generally, in a bag such as a satchel and a handbag, which is carried when going out, there are received a variety of articles, for example, cosmetics, a toilet set, a wallet, a notebook, writing implements, keys, a radiotelephone, medicines, a handkerchief, etc.

Bags are regarded as necessities to be carried when going out and serve as accessories for women. In this regard, in order to render aesthetic appeal, the bags have various configurations, such as a rectangle.

The bags have various storage spaces of, for example, a rectangular sectional shape, which are defined in conformity with the configurations of the bags. In the case that a bag has a large storage space, a partition sheet is provided to partition an interior of a bag body into separate spaces. In the case that a bag has a small storage space, a separate pocket is integrally attached to an inner surface of a wall of the bag body.

Assuming that a variety of articles are to be received in the storage space of the bag in a mixed manner, inconvenience cannot but be caused when putting or

taking the articles into or out of the storage space. In order to alleviate the inconvenience to some extent, an auxiliary pocket is used to separately receive some specified articles therein. However, even in this case, since the auxiliary pocket and the remaining articles are held overlapped with each other within the storage space of a limited size, when the bag is shaken, the articles made of metal, glass, plastic, etc. bump against one. As a consequence, the articles are likely to be broken, scratched or damaged. Further, because most articles are received in a bottom portion of the storage space, the bag is apt to be deformed or distorted in its configuration.

As can be readily seen from Fig. 1, a bag in accordance with a first embodiment of the present invention has a bag body designated by the reference character'a'. A partition sheet'b'is provided along a middle portion of a bottom surface of the bag body'a', in such a way as to partition an interior of the bag body 'a'into several separate spaces. A first attaching member 1 is attached to one surface of the partition sheet'b', and a plurality of detachable pockets 2 are attached to the other surface of the partition sheet'b'by way of second attaching members 6 which cooperate with the first attaching member 1 to produce magnetic force.

In this first embodiment of the present invention, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3, each detachable pocket 2 defines a storage space, so that articles can be received in the storage space through an opened upper end of the detachable pocket 2. The second attaching members 6 can be attached to an inner or outer surface of the detachable pocket 2.

In particular, while the second attaching member 6 may comprise an integral magnet of a large size, in case that the second attaching member 6 comprises a plurality of magnetic pieces each having a small size to be arranged on a surface of the detachable pocket 2, it is possible to secure flexibility of that surface of the detachable pocket 2.

The detachable pocket 2 may be manufactured to have a diversity of sizes, in such a way as to be attached to the other surface of the partition sheet'b'facing the first attaching member 1, whereby articles of various sizes can be received in conformity with a size of the storage space.

At this time, if any one of the first and second attaching members 1 and 6 which are respectively attached to one and the other surfaces of the partition sheet 'b'is detached from the partition sheet'b', as the magnetic force is removed, the other of the first and second attaching members 1 and 6 is also detached from the partition sheet'b'.

Consequently, one and the other of the first and second attaching members 1 and 6 may comprise a magnetic plate or piece and a metal plate, respectively.

Otherwise, both of the first and second attaching members 1 and 6 may comprise magnetic plates or pieces, in a manner such that attractive force is produced due to different polarities of the magnetic plates or pieces.

Moreover, as an important factor, the present invention may be constructed in a manner such that magnetic force produced between the first and second attaching members 1 and 6 is not removed or excessively reduced.

Referring to Fig. 4, in a variation of the bag according to the first embodiment of the present invention, a separate partitioning element'd'is additionally installed in the detachable pocket 2, in a manner such that the storage space 3 is divided into two storage space portions 3-1.

Further, it can be envisaged that an auxiliary pocket'e'is provided to an outer surface of the detachable pocket 2 to define a separate storage space portion 3-2.

Referring to Fig. 5, the detachable pocket 2 may be provided with opening and closing means 10, such as a zipper, buttons and a fastener, for opening and closing the storage space 3 and the storage space portions 3-1 and 3-2.

Referring to Fig. 6, in a bag in accordance with a second embodiment of the present invention, the first attaching member 1 is embedded into an integral pocket 8 which is installed on an inner surface of a wall of the bag body'a', and the detachable pocket 2 is attached to an outer surface of the integral pocket 8 by way of the second attaching member 6.

Also, as can be readily seen from Fig. 7, a pair of detachable pockets 2 can be attached to both surfaces of the partition sheet'b'by way of the first and second attaching members 1 and 6, respectively.

Referring to Fig. 8 which illustrates a variation of the first attaching member according to the present invention, by coupling the first attaching means 1 with a hand mirror 14, the hand mirror 14 can be stably received in the bag body a.

That is to say, by using attractive force produced between the first attaching member 1 having coupled therewith the hand mirror 14 and the second attaching member 6, the hand mirror 14 can be held attached to the partition sheet 'b'or the integral pocket 8, whereby it is possible to prevent the hand mirror 14 from being bumped with other articles.

In addition, in the present invention, when the first attaching member 1 is coupled with a fragile article other than the hand mirror, by using attractive force produced between the first attaching member 1 having coupled therewith the fragile article and the second attaching member 6, the fragile article can be held attached to the partition sheet'b'or the integral pocket 8.

Referring to Fig. 9, in an interior storage structure for bags in accordance with a fourth embodiment of the present invention, the first attaching member 1 is embedded into the partition sheet'b'which is provided into the storage space of the bag body'a'. Also, referring to Fig. 10, the first attaching member 1 can be embedded into the integral pocket 8. In these cases, the detachable pocket 2 can be attached to the partition sheet'b'or the integral pocket 8.

Besides, in the present invention, as shown in Fig. 11, the first attaching member 11 can be embedded into the wall of the bag body'a'.

Industrial Applicability As apparent from the above description, the interior storage structure for bags according to the present invention, constructed as mentioned above, provides advantages in that a variety of articles can be received in at least one detachable pocket which is removably attached to a partition sheet or an integral pocket of a bag, whereby it is possible to keep the articles in order without allowing the articles from coming into frictional contact with each other.
