Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] This device is a wrapping cloth-shaped sheet equipped with a locking mechanism that allows luggage to be locked after it has been wrapped in it. [Background technology]
[0002] Furoshiki can be used to wrap luggage of various sizes and shapes, and are used for transporting and decorating luggage. However, due to the way they are wrapped and tied when packing, they cannot be locked, and are not suitable for wrapping luggage and storing it in a secluded place. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0003] Due to a labor shortage in the logistics industry and an increase in deliveries, a delivery method called "drop-off delivery", in which packages are left at entrances, etc., is becoming more widely adopted to reduce the burden of redelivery. However, this method presents an issue in that by leaving the package there, it is possible that the package can easily be taken away. While the installation of delivery lockers is considered an effective solution, there are cases where it is difficult to secure the space to install them, or where it is difficult to introduce delivery lockers for other reasons, and there are issues with finding a solution to this problem. [Means for solving the problem]
[0004] We create a lockable furoshiki that can be folded into a small sheet shape when not in use, and has a mechanism that allows it to be used to wrap luggage and lock it. Effect of the Invention
[0005] It can be folded up into a small size when not in use, and can be flexibly wrapped around luggage and locked when in use, making it possible to reduce the risk of deliveries being easily stolen with minimal installation space. [Brief description of the drawings]

[Figure 21] FIG. 20 is an enlarged perspective view of the protrusion shape portion in the state of FIG. 19; DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0007] A protruding metal fitting having a vertical hole is attached to at least one vertex or vertex-like location of the sheet, and holes into which the protruding metal fitting can be inserted are provided at vertices or vertex-like locations other than the location where the fitting is attached. The item to be enclosed is placed on the sheet, and the vertex portion to which the protruding metal fitting is attached is folded back and placed on top of the item to be enclosed, so that the protruding portion faces upward. After that, the holes provided at the vertices or vertex-like locations other than the location where the protruding metal fitting is attached are sequentially inserted into the protruding metal fitting, and when the holes provided at all vertices or vertex-like locations are inserted into the protruding metal fitting, a key such as a padlock is placed in the vertical hole provided in the protruding metal fitting, thereby making it impossible to open the sheet without unlocking the key. EXAMPLES
[0008] An embodiment will be described below with reference to the attached drawings. 1 is a protruding metal fitting (one in the drawings, but the installation location and number can be changed as necessary), 1a is a protruding part of the protruding metal fitting, 1b is a hole drilled vertically to the protruding part of the protruding metal fitting, 2 is a sheet body (rectangular in the drawings, but the shape can be changed as necessary), 2a is the bottom surface of the sheet body, 2b is the top surface of the sheet body, 3 is a hole into which the protruding metal fitting can be inserted (three in the drawings, but the installation location and number can be changed as necessary), 4 is an object to be wrapped, and 5 is a general-purpose padlock or the like. As shown in FIG. 5, the object to be wrapped 4 is installed on the top surface of the sheet body 2b. Next, as shown in FIG. 7, the part of the sheet body 2 where the protruding metal fitting 1 is installed is folded back and placed on the packaged object 4, and installed so that the protruding part of the protruding metal fitting 1a faces upward. Next, as shown in FIG. 10, FIG. 13, and FIG. 16, the holes installed at the vertices other than the part where the protruding metal fitting is installed, or at the vertex-like parts, are inserted into the protruding metal fitting in sequence. After the holes provided at the required vertices or vertex-like locations have been inserted into the protruding metal fittings, as shown in Figure 21, a key such as a 5 generic padlock is placed in the hole drilled vertically in the protruding portion of the 1b protruding metal fittings. This makes it impossible to open the sheet without unlocking the 5 generic padlock, etc., making it difficult to see and remove the packaged items, thereby reducing the risk that the delivered items will be easily taken away. [Industrial Applicability]
[0009] One embodiment of the present invention is configured as described above. The shape, material, printing method, and processing method of the sheet body and the protruding metal fittings can be changed as needed, and the padlocks used can be changed as needed or prepared by the user.
