[0012] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings. In a first embodiment of the present invention shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, reference numeral 1 denotes a bag having a handle 2. In FIG.

[0013] As shown in Figures 1 to 3, this bag 1 is composed of a pouch-shaped bag body 3, at least a pair of left and right handle attachment parts 4 provided at a predetermined interval on each outer surface of one side (one side wall) of the bag body 3 and the other side (other side wall) opposite the one side, a loop-shaped handle 2 whose protruding upper end portion protruding upward from the upper end of the bag body 3 in a U-turn shape and inserted into the handle attachment part 4 in a normal state, and a plurality of attachment / detachment means 5 by which the handle 2 can be freely removed from the bag body 3 and can be inserted into the bag body 3 again.

[0014] In this embodiment, the bag body 3 has a front surface 3a on one side, a back surface 3b on the other side, side surfaces 3c on the left and right sides intersecting the front surface 3a and the back surface 3b, and a bottom surface 3d on the bottom. The bag-shaped bag body 3 does not have an upper portion, and is therefore a substantially rectangular parallelepiped with an open upper end, and is made of, for example, cloth, leather, resin, etc.

[0015] In the present invention, the bag may have any shape, such as one formed by sewing together three sides of two pieces of cloth or one formed from a single piece of cloth, as long as the handle attachment parts are attached to the front surface 3a corresponding to one side of the above-mentioned side part and to the back surface 3b corresponding to the other side, and a loop-shaped handle having a pair of front and rear U-turn parts is attached to this handle attachment part in a state of being inserted into the multiple handle attachment parts 4. Here, the terms "one side" and "other side" in the present invention include not only flat surfaces but also surfaces of the bag formed only from curved surfaces, for example, from a single flexible piece of cloth, and refer to the relatively wide opposing parts to which the handles are attached.

[0016] A pair of left and right handle attachment parts 4 are provided at a predetermined interval in the vertical direction on the outer side of one side (front surface 3a) and the outer side of the other side (back surface 3b) of the bag body 3. In this embodiment, four handle attachment parts 4 are provided on each of the front surface 3a and back surface 3b of the bag body 3.

[0017] A pair of loop-shaped handles 2 are inserted through the handle attachment parts 4, and in the normal state, the pair of handles 2 protrude upward from the top of the bag body 3 by a length sufficient for the bag to be used as a hand-held bag.

[0018] The handle 2 is a string- or belt-like member made of cloth, leather, resin, etc., formed into a loop, and in this embodiment, a flat belt made of resin is used. If necessary, a length adjustment slider or the like may be provided on the handle 2 so that the length of the handle 2 itself can be adjusted.

[0019] The handle 2 is preferably attached to the front surface 3a, the back surface 3b and the bottom surface 3d of the bag body 3 so as to be in contact with the front surface 3a, the back surface 3b and the bottom surface 3d of the bag body 3 so as to support the bottom surface 3d of the bag body 3. Since the handle 2 is attached to the handle attachment portion 4 in a loosely inserted state, when one side of the handle 2 protruding upward is pulled, the other side moves downward, and the handle 2 that is pulled extends upward as shown in Figure 4.

[0020] In this state, the handle 2 is long enough to be hung over the shoulder, and the bag 1 of the present invention can be used as a shoulder bag.

[0021] In a preferred embodiment, the handle attachment parts 4 are provided in pairs on the left and right sides near the upper and lower ends of the bag body 3. A plurality of attachment / detachment means are provided corresponding to the positions of the handle attachment parts 4.

[0022] In addition, the handle attachment part 4 is composed of a belt-shaped attachment part main body 6 and a connector 7 that can be changed into a ring-shaped or belt-shaped form by detachably connecting the protruding end of the belt-shaped attachment part main body 6. In this embodiment, a snap button is used as the connector 7, and this connector 7 is used as the attachment / detachment means 5. The connector 7 may also be a fastener, a detachable buckle, a hook-and-loop fastener, or the like. Also, a metal or hard resin ring with a slit, a double ring, a snap hook, a carabiner, or the like may be used as the connector 7, and the attachment / detachment means 5 for attaching and detaching the handle 2 through the slit may be used.

[0023] For example, when the handle 2 is removed from the handle attachment part 4 at the upper part of the back surface 3b by the attachment / detachment means 5 provided on the handle attachment part 4, the upper end part of the handle 2 can move to the handle attachment part 4 at the lower part of the back surface 3b. Therefore, when one side of the handle 2 protruding further upward in a U-turn shape from the state shown in FIG. 4 is pulled, the other handle 2 moves to the handle attachment part 4 at the lower part of the back surface 3b, making it possible to hang the bag diagonally (a diagonal bag). If it is desired to make the length of the handle 2 a little longer, it is recommended to also remove the handle 2 from the handle attachment part 4 at the lower part of the back surface 3b, although this is not shown in the figure.

[0024] Furthermore, when all of the attachment / detachment means 5 of the handle attachment parts 4 at the bottom of the back surface 3b are released, and all of the attachment / detachment means 5 of the handle attachment parts 4 at the bottom of the front surface 3a are released, and the handles 2 are removed from the handle attachment parts 4, the bag will be supported only by the pair of handle attachment parts 4 at the top of the front surface 3a. In this state, the bag can also be used as a backpack by hanging the handles 2 on your back and letting the bag body 3 hang down in front, and then moving the bag body 3 over your head and towards your back.

[0025] Additionally, in the bag 1 of the present invention, the handle 2 can be completely removed, so that the bag body 3 alone can be used as a clutch bag or a bag-in-bag, and the bag 1 can be selectively used in various forms.

[0026] When it is desired to use the bag as a normal hand bag 1, the handle 2 is positioned at the handle attachment part 4 and all the connectors 7 are connected, so that the handle 2 is again attached in an inserted state to the handle attachment part 4.

[0027] In this manner, by providing the attachment / detachment means 5 and configuring the handle 2 to be detachable from the handle attachment portion 4, various types of bags can be selected and used.

[0028] [Different modes for carrying out the invention] Next, a description will be given of different embodiments for carrying out the present invention shown in Figures 6 and 7. In describing these different embodiments for carrying out the present invention, the same components as those in the first embodiment for carrying out the present invention are designated by the same reference numerals, and duplicated descriptions will be omitted.

[0029] The second embodiment of the present invention shown in Figures 6 and 7 differs from the first embodiment of the present invention mainly in that the bag body 3A has a pair of handle attachment parts 4 on the inside of one side (the inner surface of the front side 3a) and the inside of the other side (the inner surface of the back side 3b), each of which is provided at a predetermined interval in the vertical direction, i.e., above and below in this embodiment. This type of bag 1A can achieve the same effects as the first embodiment of the present invention, and since the handle attachment parts 4 are not exposed on the surface of the bag body 3A, a variety of designs can be adopted.

[0030] In this embodiment, since the bottom surface 3d on the outside of the bottom part cannot be supported by the handle 2, it is preferable to provide a handle attachment portion 4 on the inside of the bottom surface 3d as well, or to form the lower handle attachment portion 4 in a position that is approximately in contact with the bottom surface 3d.

[0031] In the embodiment of the present invention, a pair of left and right handle passing parts is provided on the top and bottom of one side and the other side of the bag body, but a pair of left and right handle passing parts may be provided on each of one side and the other side of the bag body. In such a case, the bag can be used in four different patterns: a hand bag, a shoulder bag, a backpack when the handles are removed from the handle passing parts on either one side or the other side, or a clutch bag when the handles are completely removed from the handle passing parts.

[0032] In addition, the bag may have a pair of left and right handle passing portions formed on one side of the bag body, and a pair of left and right handle passing portions provided above and below on the other side.In such cases, a bag configuration similar to that of the first embodiment can be selected.

[0033] Furthermore, three or more (three or more pairs) of handle passage portions may be provided in the up-down direction on one side and the other side of the bag body.

[0034] In the embodiment of the present invention, a button or the like is provided on the handle attachment part as the attachment / detachment means for removing the handle from the bag body has been described. However, the attachment / detachment means may be provided with a snap button or the like so that the handle attachment part can be attached and detached from the bag body, and the handle may be configured to be detachable from the bag body together with the handle attachment part. [Industrial Applicability]

[0035] The present invention finds application in the bag manufacturing industry. [Explanation of symbols]
