A containment device that opens to form a mat or work surface that has a raised lip or edge structure that contains items on the mat or work surface. The containment device closes or converts from the mat configuration to create a sealed bag or sealed flexible container for holding the items inside,
A containment device that opens to form a mat or work surface that has a raised lip or edge structure that contains items on the mat or work surface. The containment device closes or converts from the mat configuration to create a sealed bag or sealed flexible container for holding the items inside, where the seal is formed by the lip or edge structure. In some embodiments, the containment device may include a cinch cord that can be used to change from the open mat configuration into the closed bag configuration. In such embodiments, the cinch cord may include a cord lock that may be adjustably deployed to clamp the cinch cord and the lip in a position that maintains the convertible luggage device in a closed bag configuration.

1. A containment device comprising: a substantially elliptical base that is flexible and that has a periphery;a flexible lip comprising one or more separate component from the substantially elliptical base, the flexible lip having a length side and a width side having a height dimension and the flexible lip forming one or more envelope,wherein the length side of the flexible lip is approximately equal to a circumference of the substantially elliptical base, and wherein the length side is attached approximately on the periphery of the base such that the flexible lip is disposed substantially orthogonally to the substantially elliptical base when the substantially elliptical base is deployed in a substantially flat position; andat least one cord, running through the one or more envelope formed by the flexible lip, such that tightening the at least one cord compresses the flexible lip to form a bag that has an annular passage;wherein the flexible lip is formed of a thin fabric that allows the annular passage to nearly completely close when the at least one cord is tightened. 2. The containment device of claim 1, wherein the substantially elliptical base is a circular base. 3. The containment device of claim 1, further comprising: a support member that is attached to the substantially elliptical base and that projects inside the one or more envelope in a direction that is substantially orthogonal to the substantially elliptical base. 4. The containment device of claim 1, further comprising: a carrying strap having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end is attached to a top surface of the substantially elliptical base, and the second end is attached to a bottom surface of the substantially elliptical base. 5. The containment device of claim 1, further comprising: a carrying strap having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end and the second end are attached to a bottom surface of the substantially elliptical base. 6. The containment device of claim 1, wherein the substantially elliptical base comprises an inner piece and an outer piece; and wherein the inner piece is a lightweight fabric and the outer piece is a heavyweight fabric. 7. The containment device of claim 1, further comprising: at least one cord lock, adjustable attached to the at least one cord. 8. The containment device of claim 1, wherein the flexible lip is attached to the substantially elliptical base using pleats that are approximately perpendicular to the length side of the flexible lip. 9. A containment device comprising: an approximately elliptical base that is flexible and that has a periphery;a flexible lip comprising one or more separate component from the approximately elliptical base, the flexible lip having a length side and a width side having a height dimension,wherein the length side of the flexible lip is approximately equal to a circumference of the approximately elliptical base, andwherein the length side is attached at the periphery of the base such that the flexible lip is disposed approximately orthogonally to the substantially elliptical base at a height that is approximately equal to the height dimension of the width side when the approximately elliptical base is deployed in a substantially flat position; anda closing means for compacting the flexible lip of the convertible containment device;wherein the flexible lip is formed of a thin fabric that forms an annular passage and that allows nearly complete closure of the annular passage when compacted by the closing means. 10. The containment device of claim 9, wherein the substantially elliptical base is a circular base. 11. The containment device of claim 9, further comprising: a support member that is attached to the substantially elliptical base and that projects in a direction that is substantially orthogonal to the substantially elliptical base inside one or more envelope formed by the flexible lip. 12. The containment device of claim 9, further comprising: a carrying strap having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end is attached to a top surface of the substantially elliptical base, and the second end is attached to a bottom surface of the substantially elliptical base. 13. The containment device of claim 9, further comprising: a carrying strap having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end and the second end are attached to a bottom surface of the substantially elliptical base. 14. The containment device of claim 9, wherein the substantially elliptical base comprises an inner piece and an outer piece; and wherein the inner piece is a lightweight fabric and the outer piece is a heavyweight fabric. 15. The containment device of claim 9, wherein the closing means comprises: one or more cord that runs inside one or more envelope formed by the flexible lip and that gathers the flexible lip to nearly completely close the annular passage of the containment device. 16. The containment device of claim 15, wherein the closing means further comprises: one or more cord lock that locks the one or more cord when the annular opening of the containment device is nearly completely closed. 17. The containment device of claim 9, wherein the closing means comprises: a clamp. 18. The containment device of claim 9, wherein the flexible lip is attached to the substantially elliptical base using pleats that are approximately perpendicular to the length side of the flexible lip. 19. The containment device of claim 1, wherein the flexible lip is formed of a thin fabric that allows the annular passage to completely close when the at least one cord is tightened. 20. The containment device of claim 9, wherein the flexible lip is formed of a thin fabric that allows complete closure of the annular passage when compacted by the closing means. 21. The containment device of claim 1, wherein the flexible lip comprises two separate components that form two envelopes. 22. The containment device of claim 9, wherein the flexible lip comprises two separate components.
