Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a sleeping bag set, a bag for storing a sleeping bag, a bedding set, and a bag for storing bedding. [Background technology]

[0002] Sleeping bags are usually stored in a vertically long pouch (drawstring bag) with a string tying the opening, but sleeping bags are made of down and other stuffing and tend to expand even when folded or rolled for storage, making them difficult to store in the bag and time-consuming to put away.

[0003] The following Patent Document 1 discloses a sleeping bag that can be stored in a rolled or folded state without the need for a separate storage means. This sleeping bag has a pillow section on the opening side of the sleeping bag body, and the sleeping bag body is pushed into and stored in a bag-shaped section formed in the pillow section. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 7-28476 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] Since sleeping bags are primarily used for hiking and other activities, and for use during camping trips, it is important that they are small in volume and highly portable when stored. On the other hand, if the sleeping bag remains large when stored, the total volume of the items carried increases and it will not fit in a backpack. Therefore, in order to minimize the volume of the sleeping bag when stored, storage bags for storing sleeping bags are made to fit the sleeping bag when fully compressed and folded.

[0006] When storing a sleeping bag, users need to put the sleeping bag into a storage bag that is made smaller than the sleeping bag. However, as mentioned above, sleeping bags are made of stuffing such as down, and therefore have the tendency to expand back to their original state even when folded or rolled up for storage. This makes it difficult to maintain the compressed or rolled state of the sleeping bag, and the task of storing the sleeping bag in the storage bag is time-consuming and exhausting.

[0007] If the storage bag is made larger in size to avoid this storage work, the overall volume of the storage bag when the sleeping bag is stored inside will increase, resulting in a problem of reduced portability.

[0008] Although this specification describes the example of a sleeping bag, similar issues arise when storing bedding with down or other filling inside (e.g., comforters, futons such as duvets and mattresses, blankets, etc.) in a storage bag.

[0009] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above circumstances, and has as its object to provide a sleeping bag set, a sleeping bag storage bag, a bedding set, and a bedding storage bag that can easily and with little force firmly fasten and compress a sleeping bag or bedding, thereby reducing the size of the sleeping bag or bedding being stored. [Means for solving the problem]

[0010] In order to solve the above problems, the sleeping bag set, the sleeping bag storage bag, the bedding set, and the bedding storage bag of the present invention employ the following means. The sleeping bag set of the first aspect of the present invention comprises a sleeping bag storage bag having a cloth main body capable of storing a sleeping bag, and a belt-shaped strap fixed along the longitudinal direction of the main body from one end to the other end and capable of tightening the sleeping bag when it is contracted so that it can be stored in the main body, and the sleeping bag stored in the sleeping bag storage bag, and the strap is fixed to the inner surface of the main body.

[0011] According to this configuration, the main body made of cloth can store a sleeping bag, and the straps fixed to the main body can tie the sleeping bag contracted so that it can be stored in the main body. Also, the size of the sleeping bag stored can be reduced by tightening the straps. This allows the sleeping bag stored in the main body to be tied in a wrapped manner around its outer periphery, and when tightening the sleeping bag, the force acting on the straps is appropriately transmitted from the straps to the main body, so that the sleeping bag can be easily and firmly compressed with little force, and damage such as tearing of the main body can be prevented by suppressing localized strong force on the main body. The straps are fixed to the inner surface of the main body, and when the sleeping bag is tightened with the straps, the main body located on the outer periphery side of the straps is not wrinkled by the straps, and the outer surface of the main body can be maintained neat.

[0012] A sleeping bag storage bag according to a second aspect of the present invention is a bag separate from a sleeping bag and comprises a cloth main body capable of storing the sleeping bag, and a belt-shaped strap fixed along the longitudinal direction of the main body from one longitudinal end to the other longitudinal end and capable of tightening the sleeping bag when it is contracted so that it can be stored in the main body.

[0013] According to this configuration, the main body made of fabric is separate from the sleeping bag and can store the sleeping bag, and the straps fixed to the main body can tie the sleeping bag when it is contracted so that it can be stored in the main body. Also, the size of the sleeping bag stored can be reduced by tightening the straps. This allows the sleeping bag to be tied in a wrapped manner around the outer periphery of the sleeping bag stored in the main body, and when tightening the sleeping bag, the force acting on the straps is appropriately transmitted from the straps to the main body, so that the sleeping bag can be compressed easily and firmly with little force, and damage such as tearing of the main body can be prevented by suppressing the application of strong force locally to the main body.

[0014] In the second aspect, the strap may be fixed to an inner surface of the main body. According to this configuration, the straps are fixed to the inner surface of the main body, and when the sleeping bag is tightened with the straps, the main body located on the outer periphery of the straps does not get wrinkled by the straps, and the outer surface of the main body can be kept neat.

[0015] A sleeping bag set according to a second aspect of the present invention includes the sleeping bag storage bag according to the second aspect described above, and the sleeping bag stored in the sleeping bag storage bag.

[0016] The bedding set according to a third aspect of the present invention comprises a bedding storage bag having a cloth main body capable of storing bedding with stuffing inside, and a band-shaped strap fixed along the longitudinal direction of the main body from one end to the other end and capable of tightening the bedding that has been contracted so that it can be stored in the main body, and the bedding stored in the bedding storage bag, and the strap is fixed to the inner surface of the main body.

[0017] The bedding storage bag according to the fourth aspect of the present invention is separate from the bedding having stuffing inside, and comprises a cloth main body capable of storing the bedding, and a band-shaped strap fixed along the longitudinal direction of the main body from one longitudinal end to the other end and capable of tightening the bedding that has been contracted so that it can be stored in the main body. Effect of the Invention

[0018] According to the present invention, a sleeping bag or bedding can be easily and firmly fastened and compressed with little force, thereby reducing the size of the sleeping bag or bedding to be stored. [Brief description of the drawings]

[Figure 8] 1 is a vertical cross-sectional view showing a sleeping bag storage bag according to one embodiment of the present invention, showing the state in which a sleeping bag is stored. FIG. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0020] Hereinafter, a sleeping bag storage bag 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0021] As shown in Figures 1 to 4, the sleeping bag storage bag 1 according to this embodiment has a main body 2 and straps 3. As shown in Figure 8, the sleeping bag storage bag 1 can store a sleeping bag 20 inside, and the size of the stored sleeping bag 20 can be reduced by tightening the straps 3. Furthermore, as shown in Figure 5, if the main body 2 of the sleeping bag storage bag 1 is detachable from the sleeping bag 20, the sleeping bag 20 and the main body 2 can be washed and dried separately.

[0022] The main body 2 has a size and shape that allows the sleeping bag 20 to be stored therein. As shown in Figures 1 and 2, a handle 4 is attached to the outside of the main body 2, so that when the sleeping bag 20 is stored and the line fastener 8 is closed, the sleeping bag storage bag 1 has a Boston bag shape. Note that the handles and belts attached to the outside of the main body 2 are not limited to this example, and the bag may have a backpack shape or a shoulder bag shape.

[0023] The main body 2 comprises, for example, a cloth side bottom surface portion 5, an end surface portion 6, and a lid portion 7. As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the side bottom surface portion 5 and the lid portion 7 have a rectangular shape when unfolded, and the end surface portion 6 has, for example, a circular shape. Note that the configuration of the main body according to the present invention is not limited to this example, and other shapes are also acceptable as long as it is openable and can cover the outer periphery of the deflated sleeping bag.

[0024] In the sleeping bag storage bag 1, the longitudinal edge of the side bottom surface portion 5 is sewn along the circular edge of the end surface portion 6. The end surface portion 6 is made of two semicircular pieces of cloth combined together, and a linear fastener 8 is installed radially so as to pass through the center of the circle of the end surface portion 6. As shown in FIG. 2, when the linear fastener 8 is closed at the end surface portions 6 at both ends, the two semicircular pieces of cloth are joined at each of the end surface portions 6, and the main body portion 2 is in a closed state. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 5, when the linear fastener 8 is opened at the end surface portions 6 at both ends, the two semicircular pieces of cloth are separated at each of the end surface portions 6, and the main body portion 2 is restrained by the end surface portions 6 and wrinkled, but the side bottom surface portion 5 can be expanded in the longitudinal direction.

[0025] In this embodiment, an example is shown in which a line fastener 8 is used on the end surface portion 6, but the present invention is not limited to this example, and the end surface portion 6 may be opened and closed by, for example, a hook and loop fastener, a hook button, or a combination of a button and a buttonhole.

[0026] In addition, in this embodiment, an example in which the end surface portion 6 is a combination of two semicircular pieces of cloth has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this example. For example, the end surface portion may be a circular piece of cloth. In this case, the end surface portion is opened and closed by providing an openable and closable linear fastener or the like on the circular edge of the end surface portion and the edge of the side bottom surface portion.

[0027] 3 and 4, the width of the side bottom portion 5 and the width of the lid portion 7 are the same, and the lid portion 7 is provided on an extension of the side bottom portion 5. The lid portion 7 is not sewn to the end portion 6 at its edge, and as shown in Fig. 2, when the main body portion 2 is closed, it can cover the upper outer surface of the side bottom portion 5. Note that, although an example in which the lid portion 7 is provided on the main body portion 2 has been described in this embodiment, the sleeping bag storage bag according to the present invention may be configured so that the lid portion 7 is not provided.

[0028] When the main body 2 of the sleeping bag storage bag 1 is detachable from the sleeping bag 20, the main body 2 has a configuration that allows it to be attached and detached to one end of the sleeping bag 20 on the inner side when the main body 2 is closed and at one end in the longitudinal direction of the main body 2. FIG. 3 shows an example in which a hook-and-loop fastener 9 is provided at two locations on the main body 2 as a joint that allows it to be attached and detached to one end of the sleeping bag 20. As shown in FIG. 5, another hook-and-loop fastener 21 is provided at one end of the sleeping bag 20 so as to correspond to the hook-and-loop fastener 9 provided on the main body 2. The hook-and-loop fastener 21 is an example of a joint that pairs with a joint such as the hook-and-loop fastener 9 provided on the main body 2. As shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, the hook-and-loop fastener 9 of the main body 2 and the hook-and-loop fastener 21 of the sleeping bag 20 allow the main body 2 to be attached and detached to the sleeping bag 20. A sleeping bag set is composed of the sleeping bag storage bag 1 and the sleeping bag 20.

[0029] In this embodiment, the hook-and-loop fastener 9 is used in the main body 2, but the present invention is not limited to this example. For example, the main body 2 may be attached to and detached from one end of the sleeping bag 20 by a hook button, a line fastener, or a combination of a button and a button hole. Also, the main body 2 may be attached to and detached from one end of the sleeping bag 20 by attaching a clip capable of gripping one end of the sleeping bag 20 to the main body 2. This allows one end of the sleeping bag 20 to be clamped by the clip even if the sleeping bag 20 does not have a joint such as a hook-and-loop fastener 21 that corresponds to the joint such as the hook-and-loop fastener 9 of the main body 2. In this case, the main body 2 can be attached to and detached from a general sleeping bag that does not have a joint such as a hook-and-loop fastener 21.

[0030] As shown in FIG. 3, a belt-shaped strap 3 is fixed to the inner surface of the main body 2 by sewing when the main body 2 is closed. For example, two straps 3 are provided along the longitudinal direction of the side bottom surface portion 5 of the main body 2. That is, the straps 3 are fixed along the longitudinal direction of the main body 2 from one end to the other end of the longitudinal direction of the main body 2. The main body 2 and the straps 3 are fixed by sewing along the longitudinal direction of the straps 3. A buckle 10 is provided at the end of the strap 3. After the straps 3 are placed along the outer periphery of the contracted sleeping bag 20, the buckles 10 on both sides are joined together and the straps 3 are pulled, whereby the sleeping bag 20 is tightened by the straps 3. As a result, in this embodiment, the straps 3 can be tied in a wrapped manner around the outer periphery of the sleeping bag 20 stored in the main body portion 2, and when tightening the sleeping bag 20, the force acting on the straps 3 is appropriately transmitted from the straps 3 to the main body portion 2, so that the sleeping bag 20 can be compressed firmly easily and with little force, and the application of strong localized force to the main body portion 2 can be suppressed, preventing damage such as tearing of the main body portion 2.

[0031] As shown in Figures 3 and 8, the straps 3 are fixed to the inner surface of the main body portion 2. Therefore, when the sleeping bag 20 is tightened with the straps 3, the main body portion 2 located on the outer periphery side of the straps 3 does not get wrinkled by the straps 3, and the outer surface of the main body portion 2 can be kept neat.

[0032] As shown in Fig. 3, a hook-and-loop fastener 11 is provided on the inner surface of the lid 7 of the main body 2, and as shown in Fig. 4, a hook-and-loop fastener 12 corresponding to the hook-and-loop fastener 11 is provided on the outer surface of the side bottom portion 5. By joining the hook-and-loop fastener 11 and the hook-and-loop fastener 12, the main body 2 is securely closed by the lid 7.

[0033] Next, a method of using the sleeping bag storage bag 1 according to this embodiment will be described. When storing a sleeping bag 20 in the sleeping bag storage bag 1, first, as shown in Fig. 5, open the line fastener 8 and spread the main body part 2 along the longitudinal direction. Then, as shown in Fig. 6, connect the hook-and-loop fastener 21 of the sleeping bag 20 to the hook-and-loop fastener 9 of the main body part 2. This attaches the main body part 2 to one end of the sleeping bag 20.

[0034] Furthermore, as shown in Fig. 6, the sleeping bag 20 is folded in two. After that, as shown in Figs. 6 and 7, the sleeping bag 20 is rolled up from the other end side opposite to the end connected to the main body 2. At this time, the sleeping bag 20 is deflated so as to be stored in the sleeping bag storage bag 1. After the sleeping bag 20 is deflated to the position of the sleeping bag storage bag 1, the sleeping bag 20 is stored inside the main body 2. When storing the sleeping bag 20 in the sleeping bag storage bag 1, the sleeping bag 20 may be deflated in other ways, such as by folding the sleeping bag 20 into three or more parts and then rolling it up, or by rolling or rolling the sleeping bag 20 up without folding it.

[0035] When the sleeping bag 20 is attached to the main body 2 and the two are integrated, when the deflated sleeping bag 20 is to be stored in the main body 2, the main body 2 does not separate from the sleeping bag 20, and the deflated sleeping bag 20 is not likely to come loose. Therefore, the sleeping bag 20 can be stored inside the main body 2 while reliably maintaining the deflated state even after being folded or rolled up. Therefore, the deflated sleeping bag 20 can be easily stored inside the main body 2.

[0036] When storing the sleeping bag 20 in the main body 2, the straps 3 are placed along the outer circumference of the deflated sleeping bag 20. Then, as shown in Fig. 8, the buckles 10 on both sides of the straps 3 are joined together and the straps 3 are pulled, thereby tightening the sleeping bag 20 with the straps 3. This allows the size of the sleeping bag 20 to be reduced when stored.

[0037] Additionally, after or while the sleeping bag 20 is being stored in the main body 2, the line zippers 8 on the end surface portions 6 on both sides are closed. By fastening the straps 3 and closing the line zippers 8, the sleeping bag 20 is completely stored in the main body 2, as shown in FIG.

[0038] Thereafter, the lid portion 7 is aligned along the outer peripheral surface of the side bottom portion 5 and the hook-and-loop fasteners 11 and 12 are joined together, so that the main body portion 2 is securely closed by the lid portion 7.

[0039] When removing the sleeping bag 20 from the sleeping bag storage bag 1, the method is reversed from that described above: the lid 7 is opened and the line fastener 8 is opened. This allows the sleeping bag 20 to be removed from the main body 2. The sleeping bag 20 and the sleeping bag storage bag 1, which are connected to each other by the hook-and-loop fastener 9 and the hook-and-loop fastener 21, can also be removed.

[0040] As described above, according to this embodiment, when the main body portion 2 is detachable from the sleeping bag 20, the sleeping bag 20 and the main body portion 2 can be washed and dried separately.

[0041] When a bag-like part is provided at one end of the sleeping bag body as in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, the sleeping bag body can be stored more easily than when the sleeping bag is stored in a pouch. However, the sleeping bag described in Patent Document 1 has a bag-like part sewn to the sleeping bag body to integrate them, and the sleeping bag has a complex structure overall, which makes it difficult to wash in practice. Also, when the sleeping bag body gets wet or absorbs sweat, even if you want to dry only the sleeping bag body, you have to handle the bag-like part together with the sleeping bag body, which is troublesome when drying the sleeping bag body.

[0042] In contrast, unlike the case where the sleeping bag storage bag is sewn to the sleeping bag and the two are integrated, in this embodiment, when the sleeping bag 20 and the main body 2 are detached, they do not have a complicated structure and are easy to handle when washing. Also, when the sleeping bag 20 gets wet or absorbs sweat, it is possible to dry the sleeping bag 20 alone, and the sleeping bag storage bag 1 does not become a nuisance when drying the sleeping bag 20.

[0043] Furthermore, because the straps 3 are fixed to the inner surface of the main body 2, when the sleeping bag 20 is fastened with the straps 3, the straps 3 do not form complex creases in the main body 2. The parts of the main body 2 located on the outer periphery side of the straps 3 are pulled by the straps 3 and become slightly recessed inward, but unlike when the sleeping bag storage bag is fastened by straps from the outer periphery side of the sleeping bag storage bag, complex creases are not formed and the outer surface of the main body 2 can be kept neat.

[0044] Although the example in which the strap 3 is provided on the inside of the main body 2 has been described, the present invention is not limited to this example, and the strap may be provided on the outer periphery side of the main body 2. In this case, the main body 2 is tightened by the strap from the outer periphery side of the main body 2. Therefore, unlike the case in which the strap 3 is provided on the inside of the main body 2, wrinkles are formed not only in the sleeping bag 20 but also in the main body 2, and the outer surface of the main body 2 cannot be kept clean, but the size of the sleeping bag 20 to be stored can be reduced. In addition, since the main body 2 is made of cloth, unlike the case in which the sleeping bag 20 is wrapped from the outside with a mat made of a cushioning material and the mat and sleeping bag are tightened with a strap, when tightening the sleeping bag 20, the tightening pressure can be transmitted to the sleeping bag 20 and reliably compressed, and the size of the sleeping bag 20 to be stored can be reduced. As a result, the portability of the sleeping bag 20 can be improved.

[0045] In the above embodiment, the sleeping bag storage bag 1 for storing the sleeping bag 20 has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this example. That is, when storing bedding with down or other filling inside (for example, comforters such as a quilt or a mattress, a blanket, etc.), the same problem as with a sleeping bag occurs. Therefore, by providing a bedding storage bag with the same configuration as the sleeping bag storage bag 1, the size of the stored bedding can be reduced, and the problem of easy handling can be solved by washing and drying the bedding separately from the bedding.

[0046] In the above embodiment, the main body 2 of the sleeping bag storage bag 1 is detachable from the sleeping bag 20, but the present invention is not limited to this example. That is, the main body of the sleeping bag storage bag may be integrated with the sleeping bag so that it cannot be removed from the sleeping bag. Furthermore, the main body of the sleeping bag storage bag may not be provided with a structure that allows it to be attached or detached from the sleeping bag, and the main body may be independent of the sleeping bag and separate from the sleeping bag.
