Orem, Utah Patent of the Year – 2024/2025

Wandrd LLC has been awarded the 2024/2025 Patent of the Year for its groundbreaking innovation in portable gear. Their invention, detailed in U.S. Patent No. 11882921, titled ‘Expandable sling bag’, introduces a novel design that allows a compact sling bag to expand and accommodate larger items like laptops, enhancing versatility for users on the go.

Wandrd’s latest innovation redefines the functionality of sling bags. The patented design features an expandable base that extends through a bottom opening, effectively increasing the bag’s length to fit oversized items such as laptops or tablets. This clever mechanism ensures that users no longer have to compromise between compactness and capacity.

Unlike traditional sling bags that struggle with accommodating larger devices, this expandable design maintains a sleek profile when not in use and offers additional space when needed. The bag’s structure includes a primary receptacle for everyday items and a secondary, expandable compartment specifically designed for larger electronics, providing organized storage without bulk.

The shoulder strap is adjustable, allowing the bag to be worn comfortably across the back, chest, or side. A retention system secures the contents, ensuring stability during movement. This adaptability makes it ideal for photographers, commuters, and travelers who require both convenience and capacity.

By addressing the limitations of standard sling bags, Wandrd’s expandable sling bag offers a practical solution for modern lifestyles. Its innovative design combines form and function, setting a new standard in portable carry solutions.
