Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to rice bags, and more particularly to the technology of transporting rice bags.

Background Art

[0002] Conventionally, for transporting rice, 30-kg rice bags, which are a common unit, have been used. A weight of 30 kg is too heavy for a single person to carry, and even when carried by two people, it is difficult to carry because the surface of the bag is smooth. Also, it is conceivable to attach handles at both ends. However, since the 30-kg weight is applied to the handles, simply attaching the handles may cause the handles to fall off, which is dangerous. Therefore, there has been a demand for a structure that is less burdensome to carry a rice bag and in which the handles are less likely to be damaged.

[0003] In response to such problems, various techniques have been proposed conventionally. For example, a technique regarding a granular material storage bag (see Patent Document 1) has been proposed and has become a known technique. More specifically, it is easier to transport by providing handle portions at the upper and lower parts or the lower end of a storage bag in which grains such as rice are stored, and providing a required number of handle portions at both side ends of the bag body. However, in the above technical proposal, there is no description regarding ensuring the strength of the handles, and the above problems have not been solved.

Best Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0013] The rice bag with a handle according to the present invention is characterized in that, while reducing the burden of carrying the rice bag, it has a structure in which the handle is less likely to be damaged. Hereinafter, embodiments of the rice bag with a handle according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Note that the overall shape of the rice bag with a handle and the shape of each part according to the present invention are not limited to the embodiments described below, and can be appropriately changed within the scope of the technical idea of the present invention, that is, within the scope of shapes, dimensions, structures, etc. that can exhibit the same operational effects.

[0014] In the following description, the body part of the rice bag excluding the opening and the bottom is referred to as the side surface part, which is the same as the side surface of a cylinder. Also, on the side surface part of an unused folded rice bag, the side with a pattern, brand name, etc. described is defined as the front surface part, and the opposite side is defined as the back surface part. The side surface between the front surface part and the back surface part is defined as the side edge. The bottom part of the bag is defined as the bottom gusset part. In the expressions of the up, down, and horizontal directions, unless otherwise specified, the opening side of the rice bag is up, the bottom side is down, and the direction perpendicular to the up and down directions is the horizontal direction.

[0015] The present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4. FIG. 1 shows an overall perspective view of the present invention, where (a) shows the case where there are handles on the opening side and the bottom side, and (b) shows the case where there is a handle around the side surface. FIG. 2 shows the case where there are handles on the opening side and the bottom side, which is one of the shapes of the embodiment. (a) is a top view of the rice bag in the unused state, and (b) is a cross-sectional view of the rice bag during use. FIG. 3 shows the case where there is a handle around the side surface, which is another shape of the embodiment. (a) is a top view of the rice bag in the unused state, and (b) is a cross-sectional view of the rice bag during use. FIG. 4 is an explanatory view showing another embodiment, where (a) is a modified example in the case where there are handles on the opening side and the bottom side, and (b) is a modified example in the case where there is a handle around the side surface.

[0016] The rice bag 1 with a handle is a rice bag in which an annular string 20 is attached to the rice bag, and a part of the annular string 20 is used as the handle 21 to facilitate transportation. The rice bag 1 with a handle is composed of a bag body 10, an annular string 20, and a holding part 30. As shown in Fig. 1(a), the shape having the handle part 21 on the opening part 11 side and the bottom gusset part 13 side of the bag body 10 is a vertical shape, and as shown in Fig. 1(b), the shape wound around the side surface part 12 of the bag body 10 is a horizontal shape. The bag body 10 is a boat-bottom rice bag for 30 Kg generally used. The material is, for example, kraft paper. It is in a bag shape and has a tightening string 17 for tying at the opening. The tightening string 17 is generally a strip-shaped string made of kraft paper called a kraft band, and is extremely strong. Near the opening part 11, there is a folding-back part 16 for folding back the opening part 11. Also, it has a folding mark 18 as a guide for the folding position.

[0017] An example of the tying method of the bag body 10 is shown. First, the bag body 10 is filled with rice. Next, the folding-back part 16 is folded back twice to the back side. Further, it is poured to the back side, the tightening strings 17 on both sides of the opening part 11 are lifted, and they are tied on the bag (Fig. 1). In this state, by holding the tightening string 17, it is possible to transport, but because of the weight of 30 Kg, it is not easy to carry by one person. Although it is conceivable to carry it by two people, other than the tightening string 17, there are no irregularities, it is difficult to hold, and it is not easy to continue carrying.

[0018] The annular string 20 is preferably a kraft band similar to the tightening string 17. It is preferably wide so that it is easy to use as a handle. For example, it is about 1.5 centimeters. In the case of the vertical shape, the annular string 20 is one. The size is such that both ends of the annulus protrude from the opening side and the bottom side and have a length sufficient to be held as a handle. In the case of a horizontal shape, there are multiple annular strings 20. The length is slightly longer than the length around the side surface of the bag body 10, and it is such that a hand can be inserted between the bag body 10 and the annular string 20 during transportation. Therefore, it is appropriate that the dimension of the annular string 20 is 5% to 10% longer than the dimension in the circumferential direction of the side surface of the bag body 10.

[0019] The holding part 30 is a part that holds a part of the annular string 20 in the bag body 10. It is also possible to completely fix the annular string 20 to the bag body 10, or the annular string 20 may be held so as to be movable in the longitudinal direction. Since the weight of the rice bag is about 30 Kg, even if an unexpected force is applied during transportation, the strength is required such that the annular string 20 does not fall off from the bag body 10. For example, it is conceivable to fix it by adhering the annular string 20 to the bag body 10 with kraft tape. Also, it is conceivable to make the holding part 30 hollow, fix it to the bag body 10, and hold the annular string 20 movably inside the holding part 30.

[0020] A specific configuration will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3. In the vertical shape, as shown in FIG. 2, one annular string 20 is used. The annular string 20 and the holding part 30 are arranged on the back surface part 15 of the bag body 10. A part of the annular string 20 protrudes from the opening part 11 side and the bottom mat part 13 side. The exposed parts at the upper and lower ends of the annular string 20 become the handle parts 21, and the other parts are covered by the holding part 30. Among the annular string 20, the part covered by the holding part 30 is fixed to the back surface part 15 by the holding part 30.

[0021] As shown in FIG. 2(a), the holding part 30 is substantially in an L shape, and the annular string 20 is fixed by the sides extending in the vertical direction. By adopting such a shape, even if a force is applied to widen the handle part 21 in the horizontal direction, the holding part 30 can stably fix the annular string 20 without being peeled off by the fixing by the horizontal sides of the holding part 30.

[0022] Regarding the position of the holding part 30, on the opening 11 side, it extends to the part excluding the folding part 16, and on the bottom side, it extends to the part that does not overlap with the bottom mat part 13. On the opening 11 side, when filling the bag body 10 with rice and tying it with the tightening string 17, after being bent by the folding part 16 and then tightened with the tightening string 17, if the part related to the folding part 16 is fixed by the holding part 30, a part of the annular string 20 will be caught in the folding part 16. The bottom side extending to the part that does not overlap with the bottom mat part 13 is to prevent the annular string 20 from entering the bottom and being damaged when the rice bag 1 with a handle is placed vertically.

[0023] The upper and lower sides of the holding part 30 are approximately at the middle point between the central part, which is the middle point of the opposite side edge 19 of the back part 15 when the rice bag 1 with a handle is in the unused state, and near the middle of the side edge 19. By setting it at such a position, the handle part 21 can be appropriately widened, and the rice bag 1 with a handle can be carried stably. If the position of the middle part of the annular string 20 is more than the center, when the rice bag 1 with a handle sways greatly, the center of gravity of the rice bag 1 with a handle will exceed the range of the annular string 20, and the rice bag 1 with a handle will turn over. Also, if the position of the middle part of the annular string 20 is close to the side edge 19, the annular string 20 in the holding part 30 is more likely to shift upward.

[0024] In the horizontal shape, as shown in FIG. 3, a plurality of annular strings 20 are used. The annular strings 20 are arranged to surround the side surface part 12. The holding part 30 is arranged on the back part 15 of the bag body 10 to fix a part of the annular string 20. There are at least two annular strings 20, one at the upper position of the bag body 10 and the other at the lower position of the bag body 10.

[0025] The holding part 30 fixes almost all of the part corresponding to the annular string 20 on the back part 15 of the annular string 20. By doing so, the falling off of the annular string 20 can be prevented. By arranging the annular string 20 in this way, the rice bag 1 with a handle can be carried stably with two handle parts 21. When carrying it alone, since one can hold near both ends of the rice bag 1 with handles by both hands, it becomes much easier to carry than when there is no handle part 21. When carrying it by two people, each can hold the handle part 21 at the end, and thus it can be carried stably.

[0026] Due to the vertical shape of the present invention, the rice bag 1 with handles can be carried stably. However, if there is a strong shake or the like during transportation, it is conceivable that the rice bag 1 with handles may turn over. Therefore, a shape that is more resistant to shaking will be further described with reference to Fig. 4(a). As a method of preventing the influence of the shake during transportation, it is conceivable to widen the space between the handle parts 21 of the annular string 20. However, if the space between the handle parts 21 is simply widened, a force to shift the string laterally may be applied between the handle part 21 and the holding part 30 during transportation, and the end of the holding part 30 may be damaged. Therefore, a holding part 30 having a shape along the pulling force of the handle part 21 is installed when the handle part 21 is held. The distance between the ends of the handle part 21 is longer than half of the length in the width direction of the rice bag 1 with handles when not in use. The distance between the middle parts in the vertical direction of the holding part 30 is longer than the distance between the ends of the handle part 21, and the string of the annular string 20 from near the end of the handle part 21 to the middle of the holding part 30 is linear. By adopting such a shape, no unnecessary lateral force is generated at the end of the holding part 30, and the force from the handle part 21 can be received by the entire holding part 30. Therefore, even if there is a strong shake or the like during transportation, the rice bag 1 with handles will not turn over and can be carried stably.

[0027] Due to the horizontal shape of the present invention, the rice bag 1 with handles can be carried stably. However, when the rice bag 1 with handles is stacked with the back surface part 15 side up, once the surface part 14 is up and the handle part 21 can be seen, the transportation will start. Therefore, a shape that enables transportation regardless of whether the surface part 14 or the back surface part 15 is up will be described with reference to Fig. 4(b). The holding part 30 is arranged at the side edge 19 part between the front surface part 14 and the back surface part 15. The holding part 30 is pipe-shaped and holds the annular string 20 so as to be movable in the longitudinal direction of the string. When the rice bag 1 with a handle is placed with the front surface part 14 on top, the annular string 20 on the back surface part 15 side adheres closely to the back surface part 15 side, and on the front surface part 14 side, a gap is formed between the front surface part 14 and the annular string 20, which functions as the handle part 21. Conversely, when the rice bag 1 with a handle is placed with the back surface part 15 on top, the annular string 20 on the front surface part 14 side adheres closely to the front surface part 14 side, and on the back surface part 15 side, a gap is formed between the back surface part 15 and the annular string 20, which functions as the handle part 21. Therefore, depending on the placement method of the rice bag 1 with a handle, the positional relationship of the annular string 20 with respect to the bag body 10 can be changed. Thus, regardless of the placement method of the rice bag 1 with a handle, the rice bag 1 with a handle can be carried by the handle part 21. In other words, the holding part 30 is at the side edge 19 where the front surface side and the back surface side of the rice bag are in contact. The annular string 20 is movable in the longitudinal direction of the string with respect to the holding part 30. A plurality of annular strings 20 are arranged so as to surround the side surface of the rice bag, and are arranged at least at a position close to the opening part 11 side of the rice bag and at a position close to the bottom side.

[0028] Thus, according to the present invention, by attaching an annular handle, it becomes easy to carry a heavy rice bag, and the strength of the handle can be ensured. Therefore, it is possible to carry it with confidence while avoiding the risk of damage to the handle.

[0029] Also, since handles can be arranged above and below the rice bag, it can be efficiently carried by two people.

[0030] Also, since handles can be arranged near the upper part and the lower part of the side surface of the rice bag, it can be efficiently carried whether carried by one person or by two people.

Industrial Applicability

[0031] The rice bag with a handle according to the present invention has a shape that reduces the burden during transportation and can be widely used from business use to household use. Therefore, it is understood that the industrial applicability of the present invention is great.
