The following embodiments are merely examples of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments. In addition, the word "substantially" in the application documents is a concept that includes shapes that follow with chamfering or rounding, and elements that make up the shape that have been deformed or changed in length within a range that does not impede the purpose of the configuration.

[0017] In this specification, when viewed from the center of the bag body 1, the surface where the bag body 1 opens is defined as the top, and the direction opposite the top direction is defined as the bottom direction. Similarly, the direction in which the pockets are provided is defined as the front direction, the direction opposite the front direction is defined as the rear direction, and the right side when facing the front direction is defined as the right direction and the left side is defined as the left direction. That is, in the front view of Figure 2(a), the front side of the page is defined as the front direction, the back side is defined as the rear direction, the right side is defined as the right direction, and the left side is defined as the left direction.

[0018] First Embodiment 1 and 2, the luggage receiving bag X includes a bag body 1 for storing luggage, and a connection part 2 extending from the bag body 1. The bag body 1 and the connection part 2 are connected via a lock 3.

[0019] The bag body 1 is a box-shaped member as shown in FIG. 1, and includes a zipper portion 11 that enables the bag body 1 to be opened and closed, a connected portion 12 and a terminal connection portion 13 that are connectable to the connection portion 2, a handle 14 for a user to hold the bag in his / her hand, and a pocket 15 in which small items can be stored.

[0020] As shown in FIG. 3, in this embodiment, the bag body 1 is made of a fabric material made of natural or chemical fibers such as cotton or nylon, but any material may be selected, such as leather or metal plate, as long as it is capable of covering the luggage stored inside.

[0021] The connection part 2 has a string material 21 extending from the bag body 1, connection rings 22 provided on both ends of the string material 21, and a sliding ring 23 which is inserted into the string material 21 and is provided so as to be freely slidable over the string material 21.

[0022] In this embodiment, the lock 3 is a padlock, and has a lock body 31, a hasp 32 that is connected to the lock body 31 to form a loop and lock, and a key 33 (not shown) that can be inserted into a part of the lock body 31 and used to unlock the lock body 31 and the hasp 32.

[0023] The bag body 1 is provided to have a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape (six-sided shape). Here, the surface that faces upward in the direction of gravity when in use is referred to as top surface 101, and the surface opposite to the top surface is referred to as bottom surface 102. In addition, one of the side surfaces is referred to as front side surface 103, the surfaces adjacent to front side surface 103 are referred to as right side surface 104 and left side surface 105, and the surface opposite to front side surface 103 is referred to as rear side surface 106.

[0024] Top surface 101 and bottom surface 102 are provided so that the width in the left-right direction is about 2 to 4 times longer than the width in the front-rear direction, making it easy to store luggage.

[0025] The front side surface 103 is designed so that the width in the left-right direction is about 1.2 to 1.7 times longer than the width in the up-down direction, making it easy to store luggage and ensuring a sufficient volume when stored.

[0026] The fastener part 11 is a linear fastener and has a fastener body 111 which is held by the user and slid, and the fastener body 111 slides along a moving path 113 on which claws are arranged, so that the moving path 113 can be opened and closed.

[0027] The fastener body 111 has a main body portion that moves while opening and closing the moving path 113, and a thin plate portion that is rotatably connected to the main body portion and is held by the user. A fastener hole 112 having an inner diameter larger than at least the diameter of the latch 32 is provided near the end of the thin plate portion.

[0028] The movement path 113 is provided so as to be continuous at the boundaries between the top surface 101 and the right side surface 104, the front side surface 103, and the left side surface 105. As a result, when the fastener portion 11 is fully opened, the top surface 101 of the bag body 1 is connected to the rear side surface 106 at only one side, and the bag can be opened and closed widely around that side. This makes it easy to store and take out luggage.

[0029] Two fastener bodies 111 are provided on the moving path 113 so as to face each other, and each of them can open and close the moving path 113.

[0030] The connected parts 12 are provided in plurality on the bag body 1 and are portions that connect to the connecting parts 2. Each of the connected parts 12 is adjacent to the moving path 113 and joins with the bag body 1 to form a loop (121, 122).

[0031] First loop 121 is provided adjacent to travel path 113 on left side surface 105, and a loop is formed by sewing both ends of a belt-shaped member to bag body 1. The length from the joining position of first loop 121 to the end of the loop is longer than the distance from the joining position of first loop 121 to travel path 113, so that first loop 121 and travel path 113 overlap. In addition, first loop 121 is located at the middle position in the front-to-rear direction, so that the bag is balanced in a suspended state.

[0032] Since the first loop 121 and the moving path 113 overlap in a side view, it becomes possible to connect the fastener hole 112 and the first loop 121 or the connecting ring 22 connected to the first loop 121 with the lock 3. In addition, the fastener body 111 can be fixed in the vicinity of the first loop 121, improving handling performance.

[0033] The second loop 122 is provided on the right side surface 104 so as to be adjacent to the moving path 113, and a loop is formed by sewing both ends of a belt-shaped member to the bag body 1. The second loop 122 is provided on the right side surface 104 so as to face the first loop 121, and a fixed ring 123 is connected to the second loop 122.

[0034] The fixed ring 123 is a metal ring member provided on the second loop 122, and is irremovably hung on the inside of the second loop 122. The fixed ring 123 is connectable to the connecting ring 22 or the fastener hole 112 via the lock 3, and the handling form can be changed in various ways to enhance convenience. In this specification, irremovable means a state in which it cannot be removed without irreversibly destroying the object of attachment.

[0035] The terminal connection part 13 is adjacent to the terminal end of the moving path 113 and is provided so as to protrude from the boundary between the left side surface 105 and the rear side surface 106, so as to be connectable to the connection ring 22 and the fastener hole 112. On the other hand, the terminal connection part 13 may be provided at the boundary between the right side surface 104 and the rear side surface 106, or may be provided on both sides.

[0036] The terminal loop 131 is a band-shaped member, and both ends are sewn together at the boundary between the right side surface 104 and the rear side surface 106 to form a loop. The terminal loop 131 protrudes in a direction parallel to the moving path 113, and the protruding height is about 2 cm to 5 cm. Furthermore, a terminal ring 132 is connected to the inside of the terminal loop 131 so that it can rotate and move inside.

[0037] In the embodiment, the right side surface 104 and the rear side surface 106 are sewn together to form a solid body, and both ends of the terminal loop 131 are sewn together along the sewing line to form a loop. This improves the durability of the terminal loop 131.

[0038] The terminal ring 132 is a metal ring member provided on the terminal loop 131, and is irremovably hung on the inside of the terminal loop 131. The terminal ring 132 is provided with a diameter that allows a portion of the terminal ring 132 to overlap with the moving path 113, thereby enabling connection to the connecting ring 22 and the fastener hole 112 via the lock 3.

[0039] The handles 14 are handles for holding the bag, and in this embodiment, are provided at symmetrical positions on the front side surface 103 and the rear side surface 106. The handles 14 are strip-shaped members, and one end and the other end are spaced apart and sewn together on the same plane to form a loop large enough to insert at least the palm of the hand.

[0040] Since the handle 14 is provided on the front side surface 103, the handle 14 can be grasped to easily widen the opening of the top surface 101, making it easy to store and remove luggage. Furthermore, by providing the handle 14 on the rear side surface 106 as well, the bag can be carried in the same manner as a tote bag.

[0041] Pocket 15 is a portion for storing small items provided below handle 14 on front side surface 103. Pocket 15 is a flat member made of transparent resin, and is joined to bag body 1 by sewing its edges.

[0042] The pocket 15 is located in a visible position on the front side 103 and can store instructions for the delivery company and a lock 3, allowing the bag X to be used appropriately.

[0043] In this embodiment, the string material 21 is a strong belt-like member made of chemical fibers such as polyester, nylon, etc. On the other hand, the string material 21 may be made of various linear materials such as leather or wire.

[0044] The string material 21 is longer, preferably 1.5 times or more, than the distance between the first loop and the second loop 122. The string material 21 also preferably has a length of at least 50 cm, more preferably 70 cm or more. This improves the workability of storing and retrieving luggage while suspending and tying it.

[0045] The connection rings 22 are circular ring-shaped members provided on both ends of the string material 21. The ends of the string material 21 are folded back and sewn together to form a loop, and the connection rings 22 are hung inside the loop.

[0046] The connecting ring 22 has a first connecting ring 221 that is permanently attached to one end of the string material 21, and a second connecting ring 222 that is removably attached to the other end.

[0047] The first connecting ring 221 is a circular ring that is undetachably inserted into the loop at one end of the string material 21 and the first loop 121. By connecting through a circular ring in this manner, it becomes easy to change the relative angle of the string material 21 with respect to the bag body 1, and the cushioning performance is improved and durability is improved.

[0048] The second connecting ring 222 is a circular ring that is inserted detachably into the loop at the other end of the string material 21. The second connecting ring 222 is designed so that a portion of the ring can be opened and closed like a general key holder, so that the sliding ring 23 can be passed through the string material 21 when it is removed from the string material 21.

[0049] The sliding ring 23 is a circular ring member into which the string material 21 penetrates, and is formed to be slidable on the string material 21. In the embodiment, the inner diameter of the sliding ring 23 is larger than the width or diameter of the string material 21, which is a belt, to facilitate sliding.

[0050] Here, the sliding range of the sliding ring 23 is limited by interference with the connecting rings 22 provided at both ends. That is, the connecting ring 22 includes a rigid portion whose maximum length is greater than the maximum diameter of the inner circumference of the sliding ring 23, and the interference of this rigid portion prevents the sliding ring 23 from falling off. In addition, the durability of the sliding ring 23 is improved because it does not come into contact with the bag body 1.

[0051] The fixed ring 123, the terminal ring 132, and the sliding ring 23 are all rigid rings with approximately the same inner and outer diameters. This reduces manufacturing costs and prevents the rings from interfering with each other and becoming entangled. More preferably, the connecting ring 22 is also a rigid ring with approximately the same outer and inner diameters. This makes the outer diameter of the connecting ring 22 larger than the inner diameter of the sliding ring 23, ensuring interference and preventing the sliding ring 23 from falling off.

[0052] Lock body 31 is a member having a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape, and has a keyhole on the bottom surface for inserting key 33. In addition, the maximum length of lock body 31 is set to be longer than the inner diameters of fixed ring 123, terminal ring 132, and connecting ring 22, thereby preventing interference with and entanglement with each ring.

[0053] The latch 32 is a semicircular metal bar with one end fixed to the lock body 31 so as to be rotatable and movable up and down, and the other end provided so as to be connectable to the lock body 31. The outer diameter of the latch 32 is set to be smaller than at least the inner diameter of the fastener hole 112, so that the latch 32 can hold the fastener portion 11 in a closed state by simultaneously inserting into the two fastener holes 112, as shown in Figure 4.

[0054] The other end of the latch 32 is fixed by connecting it to the lock body 31. This forms a loop between the inner circumference of the latch 32 and the lock body 31, and each ring can be fixed inside this loop. Furthermore, by inserting a key 33 into the keyhole, the connection between the fixed end of the latch 32 and the lock body 31 is released.

[0055] The handle P is provided on the door and is connected to the door leaf so as to form a loop.

[0056] A method for carrying out the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to Figs. 5 to 8. The present invention is carried out by a delivery company that stores packages in a receiving bag X and a user that collects packages from the receiving bag X. The method for carrying out the present invention is an example, and the method for carrying out the present invention is not limited to this, and the order of the steps may be changed.

[0057] First method of use FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram of a receiving bag X according to the first method of use.

[0058] First, the user places the bag X at the entrance so that the bottom surface 102 is in contact with the floor, and stretches the string 21 upward. Next, the user passes the string 21 through the inside of the handle P, overlaps the sliding ring 23 and the second connecting ring 222, and connects both materials with the lock 3. After that, the user closes the fastener portion 11 and stores the lock 3 in the pocket 15. At this time, the sliding ring 23 slides, so that the length of the ring can be freely adjusted, and even if the height of the handle P is slightly different, attachment and detachment can be easily performed.

[0059] Next, the delivery person opens fastener portion 11 and places the package inside bag body 1 from top surface 101. Next, the delivery person uses lock 3 inserted in pocket 15 to lock fastener hole 112 as shown in FIG. 4 to prevent the package from being stolen by malicious individuals. The lock 3 may be inserted into the fastener hole 112 as well as the fixed ring 123 and the terminal ring 132, thereby defining the fastener body 111 in a predetermined position and facilitating use.

[0060] Next, the user unlocks the lock 3 using the key 33 that he or she has. This removes the handle P and the fastener portion 11. The user can then hold the handle 14 and easily bring the baggage from the entrance into the house in the same way as with a tote bag. On the other hand, the user can also connect the string material 21 as shown in Fig. 1 and bring the baggage in the same way as with a shoulder bag.

[0061] Second method of use 6 to 8 are explanatory diagrams of a receiving bag X according to a second method of use.

[0062] First, the user inserts string 21 into handle P while holding bag body 1 suspended in midair. Next, the user winds string 21 around handle P until the length of string 21 from first connecting ring 221 to handle P is approximately the same as the length from handle P to second connecting ring 222. Then, the user connects terminal connection portion 13 and second connecting ring 222 via lock 3, and suspends bag body 1 in midair as shown in FIG.

[0063] The delivery company opens fastener portion 11 and places the package inside bag body 1 from top surface 101. Next, the delivery company uses lock 3 inserted in pocket 15 to lock fastener hole 112 as shown in FIG.

[0064] At this time, as shown in Figures 7 and 8, by connecting the connection part 2 to the terminal connection part 13, even when the bag body 1 is in a suspended state, the connected part 12 is prevented from interfering with the movement path 113, and the top surface 101 can be opened and closed widely by the fastener body 111, making it easier to store luggage.

[0065] The user unlocks the lock 3 using the key 33, removes the fastener portion 11 by performing the above steps in reverse, and then retrieves the bag body 1 and takes out his / her belongings. [Explanation of symbols]
