Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] Conventional wooden bags are, for example, entirely made of wood, or in other cases, the lower half of the body of the bag is made of box-shaped wood. In the former case, it is not possible to desire fluctuations in its volume or changes in its shape. In the latter case, with respect to approximately the upper half of the body, some shape changes are possible, but with respect to the shape of the upper part of the body, it is extremely difficult to change compared to a flexible sheet body such as a cloth one.

[0006] The present invention was developed for the purpose of effectively utilizing wood resources, and while utilizing the wood resources, its first problem is to provide something that does not impair the functions of conventional article storage bodies such as bags.

[0007] Therefore, the present invention aims to provide a bag that does not differ from the functions of conventional article storage bodies, and has devised a bag in which wood is disposed only on the bottom surface portion of the bag. Also, regarding the connection and fixation between the wooden bottom surface portion and the flexible sheet body, there has been no appropriate connection and fixation method in the past. This time, efforts have been repeatedly made regarding the connection and fixation means, and providing an appropriate connection and fixation means is also one of its problems. Furthermore, it is intended to improve the standing or self-standing property of the bag, so that the bag does not fall over even when books or the like are stored inside, and to provide pen cases, pen stands, etc. other than bags because the body stands on its own.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0008] In order to solve the above problems, a first aspect of the present invention is an article storage body having an opening at the upper part, wherein the bottom surface portion of the article storage body is formed from a wooden bottom surface portion made of wood having an appropriate thickness, and its body is formed from a flexible sheet body made of a flexible sheet fabric. A piping process is performed on the lower peripheral edge portion of this flexible sheet body to wrap a linear material having flexibility and flexibility, and the lower peripheral edge portion of the flexible sheet body subjected to this piping process is fitted into an annular groove portion provided on the entire circumference of the side surface of the wooden bottom surface portion to connect and fix the wooden bottom surface portion and the flexible sheet body. It is an article storage body having a wooden bottom surface, characterized in that.

[0009] Here, the "flexible sheet" in the flexible sheet-made body part means a woven fabric made of natural fibers or synthetic fibers, or a flexible sheet material made of synthetic leather or synthetic resin, and means a sheet-like member having flexibility that can be used as the body part of the bag. In addition, examples of the "linear material having flexibility and softness" include those made of synthetic resin, cotton, or paper.

[0010] A second aspect of the present invention is an article storage body having a wooden bottom surface, which is characterized in that, in the first invention, after fitting the lower peripheral edge portion of the flexible sheet-made body part subjected to the piping process into an annular groove portion provided on the entire circumference of the side surface of the wooden bottom surface portion, the upper portion subjected to the piping process is further fixed with a plurality of metal fixing pins.

[0011] A third aspect of the present invention is an article storage body having a wooden bottom surface, which is characterized in that, in the first or second invention, a flexible sheet-like core material is disposed on the entire surface or a partial portion of the flexible sheet-made body part, and the flexible sheet-made body part is self-standing.

[0012] A fourth aspect of the present invention is an article storage body having a wooden bottom surface, which is characterized in that, in the first or second invention, a recess is formed on the bottom surface side of the wooden bottom surface portion to reduce the ground contact area of the ground contact surface of the wooden bottom surface portion.

[0013] A fifth aspect of the present invention is an article storage body having a wooden bottom surface, which is characterized in that, in the third invention, a recess is formed on the bottom surface side of the wooden bottom surface portion to reduce the ground contact area of the ground contact surface of the wooden bottom surface portion.

[0014] A sixth aspect of the present invention is an article storage body having a wooden bottom surface, which is characterized in that, in the first or second invention, a pair of handles or shoulder straps are provided at an opening provided at the upper part of the article storage body to form a tote bag or a shoulder bag.

[0015] A seventh aspect of the present invention is an article storage body having a wooden bottom surface, which is characterized in that in the third invention described above, a pair of handles or shoulder straps are provided at an opening provided at the upper part of the article storage body to form a tote bag or a shoulder bag.

[0016] An eighth aspect of the present invention is an article storage body having a wooden bottom surface, which is characterized in that in the third invention described above, the article storage body is a pen stand.

[0017] A ninth aspect of the present invention is the article storage body according to claim 3, which is characterized in that in the third invention described above, the upper opening of the article storage body is made openable and closable to form a pen case or a pen case stand.

Advantages of the Invention

[0018] In the first aspect of the present invention, first, since the bottom surface portion is made of wood, the bag can be placed upright properly. On the other hand, since the body portion is made of a flexible sheet, it has the same characteristics as a conventional bag. That is, by using wood for the bottom surface portion as an effective utilization of wood resources, and still being able to maintain the same feeling of use as a conventional article storage body, it is possible to provide a bag that can stand upright extremely stably as described above.

[0019] Further, a piping process of wrapping a flexible and flexible wire material is performed on the lower end peripheral portion of the flexible sheet-made body portion, and the lower end peripheral portion of the flexible sheet-made body portion subjected to this piping process is fitted into an annular groove portion provided on the entire circumference of the side surface of the wooden bottom surface portion to connect and fix the wooden bottom surface portion and the flexible sheet-made body portion. Therefore, the connection and fixation between the piping process portion and the annular groove portion become stronger, and the connection and fixation between the two become reliable.

[0020] In a second aspect of the present invention, in addition to the first invention described above, after fitting the lower peripheral edge of the flexible sheet-made body part subjected to the piping process into an annular groove provided on the entire circumference of the side surface of the wooden bottom surface part, the upper part subjected to the piping process is further fixed with a plurality of metal fixing pins, whereby the connection and fixation between the flexible sheet-made body part and the wooden bottom surface part become stronger.

[0021] In a third aspect of the present invention, a flexible sheet-like core material is disposed on the entire surface or a partial part of the flexible sheet-made body part, whereby the flexible sheet-made body part can stand or rise more reliably.

[0022] In a fourth and fifth aspect of the present invention, a recess is formed on the bottom surface side of the wooden bottom surface part to reduce the ground contact area of the ground contact surface of the wooden bottom surface part. Accordingly, even if the wooden bottom surface part is somewhat deformed due to its drying, it is less likely that a problem will occur in the grounding of the bottom surface part.

[0023] In a sixth and seventh aspect of the present invention, a pair of handles or shoulder straps are provided at an opening provided at the upper part of the article storage body to form a tote bag or a shoulder bag. This is an example showing a specific example of the article storage body.

[0024] In an eighth aspect of the present invention, the article storage body is used as a pen stand. This is also an example showing a specific example of the article storage body.

[0025] In a ninth aspect of the present invention, the upper opening of the article storage body is made openable and closable to form a pen case or a pen case stand. This is also an example showing a specific example of the article storage body.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0027] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described together with the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is an overall perspective explanatory view of a first embodiment of an article storage body having a wooden bottom surface according to the present invention, seen obliquely from above.

[0028] This article storage body having a wooden bottom surface, so-called tote bag 10 (hereinafter also simply referred to as "bag 10"), is composed of a wooden bottom surface portion 11 and a flexible sheet-made body portion 12. An opening 13 is formed at the upper end of the flexible sheet-made body portion 12, and a pair of handles 15 are provided at the opposing edge portions of this opening 13.

[0029] Various articles can be taken in and out through the above opening 13. Cushion materials 15k are wound around and provided at the central portions of the pair of handles 15, 15 respectively, making it easier to hold the handles 15.

[0030] In addition, a pair of stoppers 13t (the front side in the figure is hidden and not shown in the figure) are provided inside the opposing edge portions of the opening 13, and they can be locked to each other to lock the opening 13 at its central portion.

[0031] Furthermore, annular portions 21, 21 to which both ends of the shoulder strap 20 can be connected are provided at the opening 13 of this tote bag 10, and the shoulder strap 50 can be detachably connected to and detached from these annular portions 21, 21. Of course, it is also possible to provide only the shoulder strap 20 without the above-mentioned carrying handle 15 to make it a shoulder bag.

[0032] Although not shown in the figure, the flexible sheet-made body portion 12 has a double structure of an outer fabric and a lining fabric. As will be described later, a sheet-like core material is appropriately disposed between the outer fabric and the lining fabric.

[0033] The materials of the outer fabric and the lining fabric can be appropriately selected, and various synthetic fiber-made fabrics such as canvas, cotton, hemp, nylon, and polyester can be used. Of course, it is also possible to use those made of synthetic leather or synthetic resin sheet-like bodies.

[0034] And, piping processing is performed on the entire lower end peripheral portion of the flexible sheet-made body portion 12 composed of the outer fabric and the lining fabric, that is, it is sewn so as to wrap a strip material made of synthetic resin, cotton, paper, etc. having flexibility inside.

[0035] The lower end peripheral portion of the flexible sheet-made body portion 12 subjected to this piping processing, that is, the piping processing portion 12p, is fitted into the annular groove portion provided on the entire side surface portion of the wooden bottom surface portion 11 and connected to each other.

[0036] In this embodiment, after fitting the piping processing portion 12p into the annular groove portion provided on the side surface portion of the wooden bottom surface portion 11 as described above, metal pins are driven in at a plurality of locations to further enhance the fixing strength of both. This will be described again later.

[0037] In the first embodiment of FIG. 1, along the broken line H shown in the figure, that is, the broken line H obliquely shown from the attachment part of the handle 15 to the wooden bottom part 11, a strip-shaped core material with an appropriate width of about 2 cm to 3 cm is disposed. This strip-shaped core material is disposed on both the front side and the back side of FIG. 1.

[0038] As a result, the flexible sheet-made body part 12 can stand on its own. Even when books or the like are stored inside, the entire bag 10 will not fall forward or backward, and it can stand on its own.

[0039] As the above core material, for example, a biline core material can be used, and a flexible core material formed by overlapping fabrics with appropriate thickness and adhering them with synthetic rubber paste can be used. Alternatively, a thin plate or strip-shaped material made of a flexible synthetic resin material can also be used. In addition, the core material may be disposed on the entire flexible sheet-made body part 12 composed of a front fabric and a back fabric.

[0040] FIG. 2 is an explanatory view of the wooden bottom part of the wooden storage body according to the first embodiment, where (A) shows the state seen from the side upward direction, and (B) shows the state seen from the bottom side.

[0041] As can be understood from this figure, the wooden bottom part 11 has a horizontally long substantially hexagonal shape with chamfered corners, and its material is formed from oak wood. Oak wood is hard and difficult to deform, and it is a material abundant in the area where the inventor lives in terms of resources, and this wood is used for effective utilization of resources.

[0042] The wooden bottom part 11 uses one with an appropriate thickness, and an annular groove part is formed on the entire circumference of its side part. The piping processed part 12p provided at the lower end peripheral part of the flexible sheet-made body part 12 is fitted into this annular groove part to connect and fix the two.

[0043] As will be described later, above the fitting portion between the annular groove portion and the piped portion 12p, further fixing is performed by a U-shaped stainless steel tacking pin.

[0044] A recess 11d is provided at the center of the bottom surface side of the wooden bottom surface portion 11. The peripheral edge portion (ground contact surface) 11s of this recess 11d serves as the legs of this tote bag 10 so to speak. Notches 11k, 11k are provided on the left and right in FIG. 2(B) of this ground contact surface 11s to minimize the ground contact surface 11s of the wooden bottom surface portion 11.

[0045] The reason is that by making the ground contact surface 11s of the wooden bottom surface portion 11 smaller, even if the wooden bottom surface portion 11 is deformed due to drying or the like, the distortion of the ground contact surface 11s is minimized, and the wooden bottom surface portion 11 can stably contact the floor surface or the like, and the bag 10 can stand or rise stably.

[0046] FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional explanatory view showing a cross-section of the wooden bottom surface portion of the tote bag according to the above embodiment. As can be understood from this figure, the piped portion 12p provided at the lower end peripheral edge portion of the flexible sheet-made body portion 12 is fitted into an annular groove portion 11m provided on the entire circumference of the side surface of the wooden bottom surface portion 11, and the flexible sheet-made body portion 12 and the wooden bottom surface portion 11 are connected and fixed.

[0047] Furthermore, when connecting these two, after fitting the piped portion 12p of the flexible sheet-made body portion 12 into the annular groove portion 11m of the wooden bottom surface portion 11, a stainless steel tacking pin Tp is driven and fixed above the piped portion 12p by a tacker.

[0048] The fixing by this tacking pin is performed at a plurality of locations within the entire circumferential range of the fitting between the piped portion 12p and the annular groove portion 11m. Of course, instead of the substantially U-shaped tacking pin Tp, fixing with a simple straight pin may be used, but using the tacking pin Tp is more efficient and improves the strength.

[0049] Still, the grounding surface 11s of the wooden bottom surface portion 11 shown in FIG. 3 is made even smaller than the grounding surface 12s shown in FIG. 2(B).

[0050] FIG. 4 is an overall explanatory view showing a second embodiment of the article storage body having a wooden bottom surface according to the present invention. The article storage body shown in this figure is a pen stand 20.
