[0029] Example:

[0030] Reference Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this embodiment proposes a deformable bag, comprising multiple sequentially foldable panels and a support member 12. In the folded state, the bag is secured between the first and last panels to form a three-dimensional configuration. In the unfolded state, the support member 12 acts on at least two of the panels and prevents all panels between them from folding, forming a two-dimensional configuration. When the first and last panels are secured to each other, the bag has a three-dimensional configuration, forming an interior cavity for storing items. When unfolded, the support member 12 prevents some or all of the panels from folding, thereby maintaining the portion secured by the support member 12 in the unfolded state. When all panels remain unfolded, the bag transforms into a two-dimensional configuration. By configuring the panels to a specific shape, the resulting two-dimensional configuration can be used as a fan, coaster, or heat pad. When folded into a bag, it can accommodate items such as glasses, providing a versatile and practical storage solution.

[0031] The panels include a base plate 1 and two side panels 10 located on either side of the base plate 1. When folded, the base plate 1 and the two side panels 10 form the main structure of the bag, thus forming a storage chamber. In this embodiment, the base plate 1 is clearly located relatively centrally among all the panels, so the support member 12 is preferably disposed on the base plate 1. To facilitate fastening, the panels of this embodiment also include an axis plate 9 connected to one side panel 10 and a cover plate 3 connected to the axis plate 9. To facilitate fastening, folding gaps are formed between the axis plate 9 and the corresponding side panel 10, and between the axis plate 9 and the cover plate 3. Thus, the preferred panels of this embodiment total five. Of course, in practice, additional side panels 10 can be added as needed. However, increasing the number of panels will increase the volume and weight of the resulting bag. Furthermore, since the panels in this embodiment are folded together without fixings, the firmness of the resulting bag structure decreases as the number of side panels 10 increases. Preferably, all panels form a fan-shaped structure when unfolded, so that they can be used as a fan.

[0032] The bottom plate 1 in this embodiment includes an intermediate body 6 located in the middle and connecting blocks 8 located at both ends of the intermediate body 6. Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the intermediate body 6 includes several splicing blocks, each of which is configured as a cylindrical structure formed by stretching an equilateral triangle or rhombus on its bottom surface. The rhombus is shown in the figure (two equilateral triangles can be spliced ​​together to form the rhombus shown in the figure, so the principle is easy to understand). A folding gap is formed between the adjacent splicing blocks through their connecting edges; a folding gap is also formed between the connecting block 8 and the corresponding connected splicing block. The folding gap creates a curved transition between the multiple splicing blocks and between the intermediate body 6 and the connecting block 8 when folded. A simple panel is relatively stiff when folded. On the one hand, the folding is too simple, making it difficult to create a satisfactory appearance. On the other hand, the simple folding makes the corners less sealed, making it easy for items to fall out when stored. To this end, the bottom plate 1 is configured as a combination of an intermediate body 6 and two connecting blocks 8. The intermediate body 6 is composed of splicing blocks. Since there are folding gaps between the splicing blocks, folding can occur between each splicing block. Obviously, the folding gap can be designed according to the actual situation. When the folding gap is designed to be large, the intermediate body 6 composed of the splicing blocks has good folding performance, but relatively poor strength and a soft overall texture. When the folding gap is designed to be small, the intermediate body 6 composed of the splicing blocks has a relatively small folding angle, but the splicing blocks can interact with each other to ensure good strength. The connecting block 8 is connected to the splicing block, and the connecting block 8 is as shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown, a bend is formed between the connecting block 8 and the intermediate body 6 after folding. The connecting block 8 is also connected to the side plate 10. When folding, the side plate 10 is folded relative to the bottom plate 1, thus forming a Figure 1 、 Figure 2 In the state shown, a bend is also formed between the intermediate body 6 and the connecting block 8. Of course, the purpose of this embodiment is to provide a foldable structure and principle. In actual application, the structure of this embodiment can be combined with other designs to design other products with different shapes but the same principle. Other specific designs will not be described here. The drawings of this application provide a preferred solution and are not intended to further limit this application.

[0033] In order to make the side panels 10 and the bottom panel 1 have a smooth bending transition after folding, as shown in FIG. Figures 1 to 4As shown, the side panel 10 includes a central base plate 5 and a first bend 7 and a second bend 2 located at either end of the base plate 5. Folding gaps are formed between the first bend 7 and the second bend 2, between the second bend 2 and one side of the connecting block 8, and between the base plate 5 and the intermediate body 6. When folded, a curved transition forms between the intermediate body 6 and the base plate 5, between the first bend 7 and the second bend 2, and between the second bend 2 and the connecting block 8. A curved transition also forms between the first bend 7 and the intermediate body 6. Thus, when folding, the connecting block 8 and the second bend 2 fold, while the second bend 2 and the first bend 7 fold slightly. This ensures that the side panel 10 forms an arc-shaped curved transition after folding, improving its aesthetic appearance. The resulting curved transition also contributes to increased grip comfort.

[0034] The first bending portion 7 includes two adjacent folding blocks, and a folding gap is formed between the two folding blocks. Folding gaps are formed between the folding block and the corresponding substrate 5, and between the folding block and the corresponding second bending portion 2; the second bending portion 2 is fan-shaped, and when folded, one side forms a curved transition with the connecting block 8, and the other side forms a curved transition with the first bending portion 7.

[0035] On the other hand, this embodiment provides two preferred connection solutions for connecting the various components of the bag.

[0036] In the first connection scheme, a fabric layer 11 is provided on the back of all panels. The fabric layer 11 is suitable for connecting all panels so that the components with folding gaps are connected to each other and can be folded. The overall shape of the fabric layer 11 is consistent with the shape of all panels when unfolded. Each component is fixed to the fabric layer 11, for example, by gluing. Figure 3 、 Figure 6 The figure shows the components connected by fabric layer 11. Fabric layer 11 is continuous and can be made of, for example, nonwoven fabric. When folding, the folding direction is clearly toward fabric layer 11. After folding, the interior of the bag is wrapped by fabric layer 11, providing a good seal. Fabric layer 11 effectively blocks gaps between folds, enhancing the effect when unfolded as a fan.

[0037] In the second connection scheme, a mesh layer 14 is provided between the components forming the folding gap, so that the adjacent components are connected to each other and can be folded. Figure 7 As shown, the gaps are filled with mesh layer 14, after which the two components can be folded. Figure 7Specifically, the mesh layer 14 between the joints is shown. Compared to the first type of fabric layer 11, the mesh layer 14 is lighter and, unlike the fabric layer 11, has no restrictions on the folding direction. However, a fixing structure is generally required on the cover 3. This fixing structure further limits the folding direction of the bag.

[0038] The preferred support member 12 is configured as a rod, such as Figure 5 As shown, the support member 12 is rotatably mounted with one of the panels located in the middle; when the rod body rotates to a range that protrudes beyond the panel on which it is mounted, a limit is formed between the rod body and the other panels to prevent the corresponding multiple panels from folding; when the rod body rotates 90°, the panel at the tail is extended to form a handle. Of course, in order to ensure that all panels in the unfolded state can receive the support and limit effect of the rod body, the preferred support member 12 extends from the cover plate 3 to the outermost panel in the unfolded state, and finally extends out of the outermost panel to form a handle, which makes it convenient to use as a fan. The rod body is preferably installed at the center of the base plate 1, and a hinge shaft is provided at the center of the rod body and the base plate 1. By adding a damping structure 13, the resistance of the rod body during rotation can be increased, thereby preventing the rod body from being too loose after installation.

[0039] In order to facilitate the fixing of the two panels at the head and tail, the above fixing structure can also be set as follows: the panel at the head forms a buckle body 4 (actually located on the cover plate 3), such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a magnetic component, a buckle, or a Velcro component is provided between the fastening body 4 and the rear panel (actually, the bottom side panel 10). The magnetic component and Velcro component are easy to understand, and the buckle can be a buckle similar to a clothing button or any other combination of buckles that can be locked.

[0040] The above describes the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present application. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present application is not limited to the above-described embodiments. The above-described embodiments and the specification merely illustrate the principles of the present application. Various changes and improvements may be made to the present application without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application. These changes and improvements fall within the scope of the present application for which protection is sought. The scope of protection claimed by the present application is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
