Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present utility model relates to convertible clothing. More specifically, the present utility model relates to a convertible handbag and an outer garment and a multi-functional clothing article including the same. Background Art

[0002] It has been proven in practice that outer garments that can be converted into practical articles (such as handbags, backpacks or duffel bags) are generally unsatisfactory and not feasible. Typical features of such outer garments are the complex arrangement of buttons, snap fasteners, complex folding procedures and other cumbersome procedures and devices that must be operated to convert the outer garment into a practical article (and vice versa). In addition, convertible outer garments tend to be bulky, unaesthetic and not suitable for use as fashionable or trendy clothing. Such outer garments are usually cape-like or loose-fitting garments with a large pocket and multiple fasteners that are clearly visible when the garment is worn as an outer garment. These embodiments do not create an aesthetic or fashionable garment.

[0003] Therefore, what is needed in the art is an outer garment that can be simply and conveniently converted into, for example, a carry bag or a handbag. The present application provides these and other advantages that will be apparent from the following detailed description and the accompanying drawings. Summary of the Utility Model

[0061] In one embodiment, the outerwear can be configured to facilitate conversion of the outerwear into a bag. For example, the outerwear can be a windproof jacket / windbreaker. The outerwear can include zippers at the abdomen and waist. In some embodiments, the outerwear includes handles for the bag, and the handles are located inside the outerwear. The outerwear can include a bag portion that can be unzipped and removed from the upper part of the convertible outerwear, and the upper part can be (a) worn as a short outerwear, or (b) placed in the bag. In certain embodiments, the convertible outerwear can include a zipper at the hem to form the bottom of the bag. In one embodiment, the convertible outerwear can include a zipper disposed near the sternum in the middle of the outerwear.

[0062] In one embodiment, the disclosed convertible coat can be used in the following ways: i) a waterproof and rainproof coat; ii) a short waterproof and rainproof coat; and iii) a handbag. In some embodiments, within the lower portion of the coat, the handles are hidden within the coat lining. To convert the convertible coat into a handbag, the handles can be revealed for use. When needed, these handles can be lifted from the lining area and used to carry the handbag.

[0063] In one embodiment, the disclosed convertible coat can serve as a multifunctional clothing item that provides windproof, rainproof, and / or cold protection functions while providing a handbag for carrying items such as groceries, purchased goods, fitness equipment, and the like. In some embodiments, the convertible coat can be made of a waterproof material (such as nylon) to make the coat waterproof. However, this coat can be made of any suitable material.

[0064] In one embodiment, the convertible coat includes an upper portion and a lower portion. The upper portion has a zipper, and the lower portion is configured at the ends to be easily opened and the lower half of the coat can be carried as a handbag. The zipper can be, for example, a heavy-duty metal zipper to ensure the security of the materials placed inside the handbag and prevent the contents from falling out from the bottom or top when placed in the handbag. Although a zipper is used in some embodiments described herein, equivalent means of fastening the upper portion to the lower portion can also be used (such means can include, for example, hook-and-loop fastener material, buttons, mesh fabric, etc.).

[0065] In one embodiment, when the convertible coat is fully assembled, it can include a zipper located at the end of the convertible coat, which can be hidden in the hem of the convertible coat. The zipper can serve to close the bottom of the handbag. The upper zipper can be located in the middle of the coat, allowing the coat to be used in two different ways: i) opening the lower portion and placing the upper part of the coat inside the handbag; or ii) opening the lower portion, using it as a handbag, and wearing the upper part of the coat as a short coat.

[0066] Reference Figure 1A and Figure 1B, in one embodiment, the convertible coat 100 may include a short coat upper portion 110 connected to the tote bag portion 140 by a zipper 120. The tote bag portion 140 may include a part of the zipper 130. In some embodiments, the convertible coat 100 may include cuffs 160 and a collar 170 attached to the short coat portion 110. The stand-up collar 170 may be configured to facilitate covering the neck of a person wearing the convertible coat 100. The zipper 120 may be placed at the sternum, near the sternum, or adjacent to the chest position of the convertible coat 100, and the zipper 120 may be configured to facilitate separating the short coat upper portion 110 from the tote bag portion 140. The zipper 130 may be provided at the hem of the convertible coat 100 to form the bottom of the tote bag portion 140, and the zipper 130 may be configured to facilitate securing any materials placed within the tote bag 140.

[0067] Reference Figure 2 , in one embodiment, the short coat upper portion 110 may include a part of the zipper 120, cuffs 160, and a collar 170. Reference Figure 3 , in one embodiment, the tote bag portion 140 may include a pocket 180, a zipper 130, and a part of the zipper 120.

[0068] Reference Figure 4A and Figure 4B , in one embodiment, the tote bag portion 140 may include a pocket 180, a part of the zipper 120, a zipper 130, and a handle 150. In some embodiments, the handle 150 is placed (or attached to) within the lining of the convertible coat 100 and is configured to facilitate carrying the tote bag portion 140.

[0069] The convertible coat 100 may be made of any suitable material, including cotton, leather, synthetic leather, nylon, wool, synthetic materials, polyester, rayon, spandex, mesh fabric, and the like.

[0070] The figures and the above description give examples of embodiments. Those skilled in the art can understand that one or more of the elements can be combined into a single functional element completely. Or, some elements can be split into multiple functional elements. Elements from one embodiment can be added to another embodiment. For example, the order of the processes described herein can be changed and is not limited to the manner described herein. In addition, the actions in any flowchart do not necessarily have to be executed in the order shown; nor do all actions have to be executed. In addition, those actions that do not depend on other actions can be executed in parallel with other actions. The scope of the embodiments is in no way limited to these specific examples.
