Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention primarily relates to a pouch set having a first pouch (such as a bag) and a second pouch (such as a pouch) that can be stored within the first pouch. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, a flight bag (first bag) configured to be detachable from one another is known (see, for example, Patent Document 1). The flight bag has a hook-and-loop fastener on the outer surface to detach the flight bags from one another. The flight bag also has a strap, which can be fixed to, for example, a hook-and-loop fastener or a handrail provided in the cabin. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Special table Hei 11-503940 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] According to the flight bag, cargo is stored inside. However, if the flight bag is fixed to a hook-and-loop fastener or a handrail in the cabin in an open state, the cargo inside cannot be fixed by the partition, and is likely to fall out of the flight bag in an environment with gravity, and is likely to drift in the air in a zero-gravity environment. Therefore, the flight bag is usually placed or arranged with the opening closed.

[0005] For these reasons, in order to use the cargo stored inside the flight bag, the flight bag must be opened and closed each time, which is troublesome.

[0006] Furthermore, the flight bag is bulky and lacks space-saving properties, so when it is attached to a wall or handrail inside the cabin, it occupies part of the living space and becomes an obstacle when people move around, which is undesirable.

[0007] Furthermore, the second bag inside must be managed so that it is not lost. Particularly in a weightless environment, the cargo is likely to be lost unless it is stored inside the first bag and the opening is closed.

[0008] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above circumstances, and the problem that the invention aims to solve is to provide an excellent bag set which does not require opening and closing a first bag installed in a cabin or the like every time a second bag is taken out of the first bag, whether in an environment with gravity or in a zero-gravity environment, and which prevents the second bag from scattering even when the first bag is opened, making it easy to manage the second bag inside and not taking up space in the living space. [Means for solving the problem]

[0009] The present invention relates to a bag set including a first bag and a second bag that can be stored in the first bag, the first bag including a sheet-like base that can be folded back from a center part in a height direction, and an opening / closing means that can open and close a peripheral part other than the center part in the height direction by folding back the base, the base including an inner sheet having female engaging elements on an inner surface that becomes the inside when folded back, and a first hook-and-loop fastener having a mixture of male and female engaging elements on an outer surface that becomes the outside when folded back, a handle portion is provided in the center portion in the height direction so as not to reach the upper end and the lower end in the height direction of the base body, and the center portion in the height direction is an upper portion of the first bag when the first bag is in a closed state; The second bag has a male engaging element that can be engaged and disengaged with the female engaging element of the inner sheet, and when the first bag is in an open state, the second bag can be removably held on the inner surface of the first bag, which is a bag set that serves as a means for solving the above problem. Effect of the Invention

[0010] According to the present invention, the first bag has a sheet-like base, and when the first bag is in the state of the sheet-like base, i.e., in the open state, the second bag is engaged with the inner sheet, so that it is not necessary to open and close the first bag every time the second bag is taken out from the first bag installed in the cabin or the like in either an environment with gravity or an environment without gravity, and the second bag is not scattered. In addition, the second bag is provided with a male engaging element (for example, by providing a male hook-and-loop fastener), so that it can be engaged with a female hook-and-loop fastener provided on the wall surface or the like of the ship or a female engaging element (for example, pile fabric or the like) provided on clothing, thereby preventing loss or the like. Furthermore, by closing the first bag (in the form of a bag) with the second bag engaged with the inner surface of the first bag, it can be carried anywhere and stored on the wall.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0012] A bag set according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a first bag and a second bag that can be stored in the first bag. The first bag includes a sheet-like base that can be folded back from a center portion in a height direction, and an opening / closing means that can open and close a peripheral portion other than the center portion in the height direction by folding back the base. The base includes an inner sheet having female engaging elements on an inner surface that becomes the inside when folded back, and a first hook-and-loop fastener having a mixture of male and female engaging elements on an outer surface that becomes the outside when folded back. a handle portion is provided in the center portion in the height direction so as not to reach the upper end and the lower end in the height direction of the base body, and the center portion in the height direction is an upper portion of the first bag when the first bag is in a closed state; The second bag has a male engaging element that can be engaged and disengaged with the female engaging element of the inner sheet, and when the first bag is in an open state, the second bag can be removably held on the inner surface of the first bag (first configuration).

[0013] According to the above-mentioned first configuration, the first bag has a sheet-like base, and when the sheet-like base is in its open state, i.e., the second bag is attached to the inner sheet, so that there is no need to open and close the first bag installed in the cabin or the like every time the second bag is removed from the first bag, either in an environment with gravity or in an environment with zero gravity, and the second bag will not spill out. Furthermore, because the first bag has a sheet-like base, it is not bulky when open and does not impede the movement of people, making it possible to realize space-saving wall storage. In addition, the second bag can be equipped with a male engaging element (e.g., a male hook-and-loop fastener) that can be attached to a female hook-and-loop fastener on the wall of the cabin or to a female engaging element on clothing (e.g., pile fabric), thereby preventing it from being lost, etc.

[0014] Furthermore, the bag set according to an embodiment of the present invention is based on the above first configuration and has at least three straps having a second hook-and-loop fastener with a mixture of male and female engaging elements, and the first hook-and-loop fastener provided on the outer surface of the base of the first bag and the second hook-and-loop fastener of the straps are capable of being engaged and disengaged, thereby making it possible to detachably attach and detach the straps from the outer surface of the base (second configuration).

[0015] According to the second configuration, by engaging the first hook-and-loop fastener on the outer surface of the base of the first bag with the second hook-and-loop fastener on the strap, the strap can be fixed to a handrail or the like inside the cabin, thereby achieving wall storage. Furthermore, by having at least three strips, the strips can be positioned in at least three directions around the first bag item, so that the position of the first bag item does not fluctuate and it can be positioned in the desired position.

[0016] In addition, the bag set according to the embodiment of the present invention is a bag set having the above first configuration or a bag set having the above second configuration added thereto, The opening and closing means for opening and closing the periphery other than the longitudinal center portion of the base can be a slide fastener, and the periphery can be provided with a first flap for covering the slide fastener and a second flap for further covering the first flap, and the first flap and the second flap can be provided with an engagement and detachment means for freely attaching and detaching the first flap and the second flap to each other (third configuration).

[0017] According to the third configuration, in addition to achieving the effects of the first or second configuration, the slide fastener, which is the opening and closing means of the first bag, is covered with a first flap and then further covered with a second flap, and this first flap and second flap are engaged with each other by an engagement and disengagement means, thereby completely covering the slide fastener and achieving a good external appearance.

[0018] In addition, the bag set according to an embodiment of the present invention can be configured, based on the above-mentioned third configuration, such that the outer surface of the base, the first flap and the second flap are formed from a flame-retardant material (fourth configuration).

[0019] According to the fourth configuration, assuming the third configuration, the outer surface of the base, the first flap and the second flap are formed from a flame-retardant material, so that even if the slide fastener itself does not have flame retardant properties, the slide fastener can be securely covered to ensure the flame-retardant performance of the bag set.

[0020] In addition, the second bag constituting the bag set according to an embodiment of the present invention can be configured in such a way that a band-shaped fastening means for fastening the stored items is partially sewn to the inner fabric (fifth configuration).

[0021] According to the fifth configuration, the bag set having the above-mentioned operational effects can further be endowed with the ability to stably hold the contents in the second bag. EXAMPLES

[0022] The bag set S according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The same or corresponding parts in the drawings are given the same reference numerals and their description will not be repeated. In order to make the description easier to understand, the drawings referred to below may show the configuration in a simplified or schematic manner, or some of the components may be omitted. Furthermore, the dimensional ratios between the components shown in each drawing do not necessarily represent the actual dimensional ratios.

[0023] The bag set S of Example 1 of the present invention is designed to be used in a space where gravity is present, and includes a first bag 1 (see Figures 1 and 2) and a plurality of second bags 2 (see Figure 3) that can be stored in the first bag 1 (see Figure 5). Here, Fig. 1 and Fig. 2(a) show the first bag 1 in an open state, with Fig. 1 showing the inside and Fig. 2(a) showing the outside, and Fig. 2(b) showing the first bag 1 in a closed state (with the opening closed).

[0024] In this embodiment 1, the first bag 1, as shown in Figures 1 and 2(a), has a sheet-like base 10 and a double zipper 11 (a slide fastener with two sliders 11A) which is an opening and closing means for turning the sheet-like base into a bag shape.

[0025] The sheet-like substrate 10 is composed of an outer fabric 10A (see FIG. 2(a)), an inner fabric 10B (see FIG. 1) superimposed on the inner side of the outer fabric 10A, and an inner sheet 10C (see FIG. 1) provided on the inner fabric 10B. The inner sheet 10C is a sheet having a large number of female engaging elements 100 provided on its entire surface.

[0026] The vertical direction in FIG. 1 is defined as a height direction H, and its center is defined as a height direction center C.

[0027] A double zipper 11 is sewn to the periphery of the sheet-like base body 10. A slider 11A is disposed on each of the left and right sides of the center C in the height direction. Teeth rows 11B of the double zipper 11 are disposed all around the periphery of the sheet-like base body 10. Both ends of the double zipper 11 are covered with a covering fabric 12. A male hook-and-loop fastener is provided on the surface (back surface) of the covering fabric 12 that comes into contact with the inner sheet 10C. A female hook-and-loop fastener is provided on the opposite surface. Therefore, both ends of the double fastener 11 are fixed by engaging the male hook-and-loop fastener on the back surface with the female hook-and-loop fastener on the inner sheet 10C. The female hook-and-loop fastener on the front surface also secures the female hook-and-loop fastener in the portion of the inner sheet 10C covered by the covering fabric 12.

[0028] As shown in FIG. 2(a), the outer fabric 10A has a handle portion 13 sewn to a central portion C in the height direction. Additionally, a plurality of first hook-and-loop fasteners 14 are arranged on the outer surface of the outer fabric 10A. The first hook-and-loop fasteners 14 are a combination of male and female fasteners. In this embodiment, they are small square pieces measuring 5 cm on each side, and are arranged in 12 locations.

[0029] In FIG. 1, when the upper side of the height direction center part C is folded downward and one slider 11A of the double zipper 11 is moved to the other end side, the first bag 1 becomes closed as shown in FIG. 2(b).

[0030] Next, the second bag 2 is shown in Fig. 3 and Fig. 4. Fig. 3(a) and (b) are front and back views of a pen case as the second bag 2. Fig. 3(c) and (d) are front and back views of a gusset-less pouch as the second bag 2. The front side is made of a transparent sheet-like material 22 so that the inside can be seen through. Fig. 3(e), (f), and (g) are front, back, and right side views of a gusseted pouch as the second bag 2. The front side has mesh 23 so that the inside can be seen through. Each of the second bags 2 has an opening and closing section with a slide fastener 20, and a male hook-and-loop fastener 21 with a male engaging element on the back side.

[0031] The second bag shown in Fig. 4 is a gussetless pouch having mesh 23 on the front side as shown in Fig. 4(a), and is provided with fastening means 24 for fastening stored items as shown in Fig. 4(b) with the mesh 23 omitted. In this embodiment 1, fastening means 24 is made of a stretchable band and is sewn to the inner fabric 26 at a seam 25, so that the stored items are sandwiched and fixed by the inner fabric 26 and fastening means 24 in the unsewn portion. In addition, in the case of a pen with a clip, the fastening means 24 can be sandwiched and fixed by the clip portion. In addition, the second bag also has a male hook-and-loop fastener 21 having a male engaging element on the back side as shown in Fig. 4(c).

[0032] As shown in FIG. 5, the second bag 2 can be attached to and detached from the inner sheet 10C of the first bag 1 in any layout by the male hook-and-loop fastener 21 on the back surface.

[0033] In addition, if the clothing has a female hook-and-loop fastener, the second bag 2 can be attached directly to the clothing, which has the advantage of making it easy to manage even after it is removed from the first bag 1.

[0034] The bag set S of Example 1 shown above can be used as a wall storage item in the open state shown in Figure 5, for example, by engaging the first hook-and-loop fastener 14 provided on the outer surface of the outer fabric 10A with a hook-and-loop fastener provided on the wall. Since the first bag 1 is in a sheet shape, it is thin, occupies very little space, and does not interfere with the flow of people, which is advantageous in that it is very convenient. In addition, the first bag 1 can be used in an open state, and there is no need to open and close the first bag 1 every time the second bag 2 is used.

[0035] In addition, when necessary, the bag set S can be carried in a bag-like shape by closing the first bag 1 with the second bag 2 attached to the first bag 1. By fastening the first hook-and-loop fastener 14 of the first bag 1 in the bag set S carried with it to a hook-and-loop fastener provided on the wall, the bag set S can be easily managed. EXAMPLES

[0036] Next, a description will be given of a bag set S according to a second embodiment of the present invention. The bag set S according to the second embodiment has a strip 3 in addition to the bag set S of the first embodiment.

[0037] Here, a description of parts common to the bag set S of Example 1 will be omitted. As shown in Figures 6(a) and (b), the strap 3 in the bag set S of Example 2 has a configuration in which a plurality of hook-and-loop fasteners (hereinafter referred to as second hook-and-loop fasteners 31) with a mixture of male and female engaging elements are arranged at equal intervals on the front and back surfaces of a long strap fabric 30. Figure 6(a) shows the front surface of the strap 3, and Figure 6(b) shows the back surface of the strap 3. Note that, although the second hook-and-loop fasteners 31 are provided on both the front and back surfaces in this example, it is also possible to provide them on one surface.

[0038] As shown in Figure 7, the bag set S of this Example 2 is configured so that the second hook-and-loop fasteners 31 at one end of each of the four strips 3 are engaged with the first hook-and-loop fasteners 14 on the outer surface of the outer fabric 10A of the sheet-like base 10.

[0039] The other ends of the four bands 3 can be appropriately wrapped around a handrail 6 or the like provided on a wall surface 5 inside the cabin, and used as wall storage, similar to Example 1. Even in this case, the first bag 1 is in a sheet shape, and is therefore thin, occupies very little space, and does not interfere with the passage of people, providing the advantage of being extremely convenient. Furthermore, the first bag 1 can be used in an open state, and there is no need to open and close the first bag 1 every time the second bag 2 is used.

[0040] In this embodiment, four straps 3 are used, but the number of straps 3 is not limited. It is preferable to use about three or four straps 3 to fix the position of the first bag body 1. One or two straps 3 are not preferable because the first bag body 1 may swing, and five or more straps are not preferable because the configuration becomes more complicated.

[0041] In addition, after removing the second bag 2 from the first bag 1, in order to facilitate management of the second bag 2, one belt 3 can be wrapped around a person's waist and the second hook-and-loop fasteners 31 can be fastened to each other, and the second hook-and-loop fastener 31 of the belt 3 can be fastened to the male hook-and-loop fastener 21 of the second bag 2. EXAMPLES

[0042] The bag set S of Example 3 of the present invention is designed to be used in a zero-gravity space, and similar to Example 1, comprises a first bag 1 (see Figures 8 and 9) and a plurality of second bags 2 (see Figure 3) that can be stored in the first bag 1.

[0043] Here, Fig. 8 and Fig. 9(a) show the first bag 1 in an open state, Fig. 8 shows the inside and Fig. 9(a) shows the outside, and Fig. 9(b) shows the first bag 1 in a closed state (with the opening closed).

[0044] The bag set S according to the third embodiment of the present invention has a basic configuration in common with the bag set S according to the first embodiment, and therefore a description of the common parts will be omitted.

[0045] The bag set S according to the third embodiment has a configuration in which a first flap 4A and a second flap 4B are provided on the outside of a double zipper 11. As shown in Fig. 8, when the first bag 1 is in an open state, the first flap 4A is sewn to the sheet-like base 10 in a peripheral region of the upper half in the height direction, and the second flap 4B is sewn to the sheet-like base 10 in a peripheral region of the lower half in the height direction.

[0046] The second flap 4B is wider than the first flap 4A, and as shown in Figures 8 and 9(a), both the first flap 4A and the second flap 4B are provided with a hook-and-loop fastener having a mixture of male and female engaging elements (hereinafter referred to as the third hook-and-loop fastener 40).

[0047] When one of the sliders 11A of the double zipper 11 is moved from the open state to the closed state (the opening is closed), the first flap 4A covers the upper part of the teeth 11B of the double zipper 11, and further, the second flap 4B covers the upper part of the first flap 4A. At this time, the third hook-and-loop fastener 40 provided on the first flap 4A and the third hook-and-loop fastener 40 provided on the second flap 4B are engaged with each other, and the double fastener 11 is housed inside the first flap 4A.

[0048] In this embodiment 3, the double zipper 11 is not made of a flame-retardant material, but by making the first bag 1, the first flap 4A, and the second flap 4B from flame-retardant fabric, the double zipper 11 is not exposed to the outside, and flame retardancy is ensured.

[0049] As another embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10, in the configuration of this embodiment 3, the band 3 disclosed in the embodiment 2 can be combined to adopt a configuration common to the embodiment 2. [Explanation of symbols]
