Baumgartner's invention relates generally to lady's bags wherein there are
provided a series of different pockets each of which is adaptable for a particular use.
As shown in Figures 1 and 4, on the upper side of the top panel 11 of a lady's overarm
carrying bag 10, a generally rectangular panel 23 is secured to panel 11 by means of
stitching to form a pocket 25 having an access opening 26 having an elastic band 27
along the edge thereof to gather the edge 26 and thus retain objects placed into the
pocket 25. As shown in Figure 6, the opposite sides of the panel 23 may be accordion
pleated as shown at 28 to allow expansion to receive objects there within. The pocket
25 serves to contain a pad and pencil, a pen, cleansing tissues, gloves or the like.
Yoo's invention relates generally to sports accessory bags having multiple
compartments for separate storage of athletic shoes and accessories, including at least
one expandable compartment, and a reinforced compartment for carrying a racket. As

compartments 28 designed to hold items such as hair spray, deodorant, powders,
perfumes, shampoo, conditioner, etc. Yoo teaches (column 4, line 68, to column 5, line
