AI Technical Summary
Conventional bags with handles face issues such as easy opening, visibility of contents, need for additional closure structures, uneven handle length, strain on hands and arms when carrying heavy loads, and requirement for additional structures to prevent bag spreading when stored.
The bag features a slit for use as a handbag and a belt that can function as a shoulder strap or slats, allowing the belt to be pulled through a slit opposite the opening to close it, providing stability and preventing accidental opening.
This configuration allows for secure closure of the bag, prevents contents from spilling, reduces strain on the user, and maintains the bag's rolled state when stored, all while eliminating the need for additional closure structures and reducing costs.

Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a bag having a handle on the top. [Background technology]
[0002] Traditionally, bags have a pair of long handles on the top for carrying over the shoulder. There was also a bag with a pair of short handles on the top for carrying it by hand. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0003] This caused the following problems: (i) When the bag was placed on a table with luggage inside, the opening could open and the contents could spill out. (b) Bags with shoulder handles tend to open easily even when carrying luggage inside, allowing others to see what is inside. (c) In order to prevent the opening from opening unexpectedly, structures such as buttons and zippers were necessary, and costs were incurred for these structures. (d) Bags with shoulder handles were so long that the bottom of the bag would sometimes touch the ground when carried by hand. (e) Bags with handles for carrying could not be carried on the shoulder, and if the luggage inside was heavy, this could put strain on the hands and arms. (f) In order to prevent the bag from expanding when it is rolled up for storage, some sort of structure such as a rubber band or a small bag with a button is needed, and costs are required for that structure. (G) Shoulder bags require a pair of handles facing each other, which means the cost of two handles is required. The present invention has been made to solve these problems. [Means for solving the problem]
[0004] The top of the bag has a slit that can be used for carrying by hand and a belt that can be used for hanging over the shoulder or across the body. Effect of the Invention
[0005] The opening can be closed by passing the belt through the slits opposite the opening and pulling it up. Even if there is only one belt, as long as it is passed through the slit, it can be carried over the shoulder or across the body with the opening closed. If there are two belts, it can be used in the same way by using only one belt, or by passing both belts through the slits on the opposite sides to carry the bag with the opening closed, or it can be carried like a conventional bag by simply wearing it over the shoulder or across the body without passing the belt through the slits. When carrying the bag by hand, one hand can be inserted into both slits and grasped at the top of the slits to hold the bag so that the bottom does not touch the ground. When rolling it up for storage, start rolling it from the bottom of the bag and finally pass the belt through the slit, so that the rolled state can be maintained without being held down by other objects. [Brief description of the drawings]
[0006] [Figure 1] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the present invention. [Diagram 2] FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing one state in which the present invention is used. [Diagram 3] FIG. 11 is a perspective view showing another embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0007] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described. (i) A slit is provided parallel to and facing the opening of the bag so that the hand can be inserted near the opening and the top can be used as a handle to carry the bag. (b) One or two belts that can be used for shoulder or cross-body wearing are provided around the edge of the opening of the bag so that they form a loop including the upper part and the surrounding parts of one or both of the above-mentioned slits. The present invention has the above-mentioned configuration. When using this invention as a shoulder or crossbody bag, after putting luggage inside, as shown in Figure 2, pass the belt (2) through the slit (1) located opposite the opening, and put your arm or arm and head through the belt to wear it over your shoulder or across your body. As a result, the bag's own weight and the weight of the luggage placed inside will exert a force in the direction of closing the opening. With this method, luggage can be carried stably even with just one belt (2) worn over the shoulder. Once the opening is closed, friction between the belt (2) and the slit (1) makes it difficult to open the opening. When opening the opening, the belt (2) passed through the inside of the slit (1) is pulled out, thereby enabling the opening to be opened. Also, two belts may be provided as shown in Fig. 3. When two belts are provided, by passing one arm through both of them and putting the bag on the shoulder, the bag can be stably carried over the shoulder without closing the opening. When using the present invention as a hand-held bag, both slits (1) are grasped with one hand. When the present invention is rolled up for storage, the left and right sides of the bag are folded to a desired width, and then the bag is rolled up from the bottom until there is excess belt (2) remaining, which is then passed through the slit.

Claims
[Claim 1] A bag characterized in that slits are provided at opposing positions near the opening of the bag, and a belt is provided around the periphery of the opening.
