Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a foldable luggage rack.

Background Art

[0002] In recent years, in offices, the work style has changed greatly, and although there are desks, the free-address system where individual seats are not fixed has become widespread. In an office with a free-address system, it is common to place a luggage rack for storing carry-on luggage on the floor around the work desk (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2).

[0003] The luggage rack described in Patent Document 1 has a non-foldable structure, so it cannot be compactly stored when not in use. On the other hand, the luggage rack described in Patent Document 2 is foldable and thus has excellent storage and portability.

[0004] However, the luggage rack described in Patent Document 2 has a portion for placing luggage formed almost flat in the usable posture, so it lacks the stability of the placed luggage, and there is room for improvement in that the luggage is likely to fall from the luggage rack.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0006] The present invention has been made to improve such a situation, and an object thereof is to provide a luggage rack that can stably store luggage during use and can be folded compactly when not in use.

Means for Solving the Problem

[0007] The luggage rack of the present invention includes a pair of side portions arranged opposite to each other, a connecting portion that connects the upper portions of the pair of side portions so as to be separable, and a pair of legs connected to the lower sides of the side portions and foldable upward along the side portions. The legs include a first leg surface portion, a second leg surface portion, and a third leg surface portion, and these leg surface portions are configured to be foldable so as to form a triangular support structure that contacts a lower portion of the outer surface of the side portion and holds the side portion in an inclined posture.

[0008] According to the luggage rack of the present invention, during use, it is assembled so that the side portions are supported by the legs having a triangular support structure, and the pair of side portions are made to stand while being held in an inclined posture with the upper sides open, so that the space between the pair of side portions can be used as a luggage placement space, and articles such as carry-on luggage can be stably stored. Further, when not in use, it can be folded compactly by bringing the side portions close to each other and folding the legs along the outer surfaces of the side portions, and it is excellent in storage property and portability.

[0009] In the luggage rack of the present invention, the side portions and the legs may be configured to be foldable in half such that both ends of the lower side of the side portion overlap.

[0010] According to such an aspect, when the luggage rack is not in use, it can be folded more compactly, and the storage property and portability are improved.

[0011] Further, the connecting portion may include a foldable substantially inverted triangular or substantially inverted trapezoidal end face member that connects the standing sides of the pair of side portions.

[0012] According to such an aspect, when the luggage rack is in use, the luggage placement space can be surrounded by the pair of side portions and the end face member, and the fall of articles from the luggage placement space can be reliably prevented.

[0013] Further, the connecting portion may be provided with a foldable bottom member that connects the lower sides of the pair of side surfaces.

[0014] According to such an aspect, in the luggage rack that is unfolded and assembled, by arranging the bottom member between the lower sides of the side surfaces, the luggage rack space can be made into a substantially frustum-shaped or substantially rectangular prism shape with the upper surface larger than the bottom surface, and the stability of the articles stored in the luggage rack space can be improved.

Effects of the Invention

[0015] The luggage rack of the present invention can stably store articles during use and can be folded compactly when not in use, and is excellent in storage property and portability.

Embodiments for Carrying out the Invention

[0017] Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the following description, for the purpose of specifying directions, the terms "front and back" and "left and right" are used. However, these terms of front and back and left and right define the direction in which the lower side of the side surface extends as the front-back direction, and the direction orthogonal to the front-back direction in the horizontal plane as the left-right direction. Note that these terms are used for convenience of explanation and do not limit the technical scope of the present invention.

[0018] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, the luggage rack of the embodiment includes a pair of left and right side surfaces 1 arranged opposite to each other, a connecting portion 2 that connects the upper portions 11 of the pair of side surfaces 1 so that they can be separated and contacted, and a pair of leg portions 3 connected to the lower side 12 of the side surface 1 and foldable toward the upper portion 11 side of the side surface 1. The leg portion 3 includes a first leg surface portion 31, a second leg surface portion 32, and a third leg surface portion 33, and these leg surface portions 31, 32, 33 are configured to be bendable so as to form a triangular support structure that contacts a lower portion of the outer surface of the side surface 1 and holds the side surface 1 in an inclined posture. In this embodiment, the pair of side surfaces 1 has a bilaterally symmetric form, and the pair of leg portions 3 has a bilaterally symmetric form.

[0019] When the left and right side faces 1 are each held in an inclined posture, the pair of side faces 1 form a substantially V-shaped posture with the upper part 11 open, and a substantially triangular prism-shaped luggage placement space S extending in the front-rear direction is formed between the left and right side faces 1. Since the left and right side faces 1 are self-standing on the installation surface F by being supported by the left and right legs 3, luggage can be stably stored in the luggage placement space S. Also, when not in use, it can be folded compactly by bringing the side faces 1 close to each other and folding back the legs 3 along the outer surface of the side faces 1, so it is excellent in storage and portability.

[0020] The side face 1 has a substantially rectangular form that is long in the front-rear direction, and includes a substantially rectangular side hinge portion 13 that extends in the vertical direction at the central portion of the side face 1 in the front-rear direction, and a pair of front and rear side wall faces 14 connected to each of the front and rear of the side hinge portion 13. In the present embodiment, the side face 1 is formed by attaching two substantially rectangular core materials to a rectangular fabric that is long in the front-rear direction with a space therebetween in the front-rear direction, with the front and rear core material regions serving as the side wall faces 14 and the fabric region between the front and rear core materials serving as the side hinge portion 13. Here, the core material constituting the side wall face 14 is attached to the outer surface of the fabric with respect to the luggage placement space S. However, the core material may be attached to the inner surface of the fabric with respect to the luggage placement space S, or may be attached to both the outer and inner surfaces.

[0021] The connecting portion 2 includes a foldable substantially inverted triangular end face member 21 that connects the standing edges 15 of the pair of left and right side faces 1. In the present embodiment, the end face member 21 is connected to each of the front and rear standing edges 15 of the side face 1. The end face member 21 has a substantially isosceles triangular form with the apex angle facing downward, and one of the two sides sandwiching the apex angle is connected to the standing edge 15 of one side face 1, and the other side is connected to the standing edge 15 of the other side face 1. In the present embodiment, the pair of front and rear connecting portions 2 have a front-rear symmetric form.

[0022] The end face member 21 is formed of, for example, fabric, and a connection hinge portion 22 that can be bent is formed at the connection location with the standing edge 15. Further, the end face member 21 is provided with an end face hinge portion 23 that can be bent along a straight line connecting the midpoint of the base of the isosceles triangle and the apex angle. In this embodiment, the connection portion 2 can be folded between the left and right side face portions 1 when the left and right side face portions 1 are closed.

[0023] In the luggage rack of this embodiment, when the left and right side face portions 1 are opened in a substantially V shape and the end face member 21 is deployed, the luggage placement space S can be surrounded by the left and right side face portions 1 and the front and rear end face members 21, so that the article B can be surely prevented from falling from the luggage placement space S.

[0024] Further, the connection portion 2 connects the left and right side face portions 1 so that they can be separated and joined, and limits the opening interval between the left and right side face portions 1. In this embodiment, the connection portion 2 includes an end face member 21 having a substantially inverted triangular shape. Since the two sides sandwiching the apex angle of the end face member 21 are connected to the standing edges 15 of the left and right side face portions 1, the lower ends of the left and right standing edges 15 and the lower sides 12 of the side face portions 1 are hardly separated from each other. On the other hand, the upper parts of the left and right standing edges 15 and the upper parts 11 of the side face portions 1 can be separated and joined by folding or deploying the end face member 21. When the left and right side face portions 1 are opened in a substantially V shape, the end face member 21 is in a state of being stretched between the left and right standing edges 15, so that the degree of opening of the left and right side face portions 1 is restricted. In this way, since the opening interval between the left and right side face portions 1 is restricted by the connection portion 2, the strength of the luggage placement space S is improved.

[0025] Next, the leg portion 3 will be described. The leg portion 3 has a substantially rectangular shape that is long in the front-rear direction in the deployed state, and one side is connected to the lower side 12 of the side face portion 1. In this embodiment, the length of the leg portion 3 in the front-rear direction is the same as the length of the side face portion 1 in the front-rear direction. The leg portion 3 includes, in order from the lower side 12 side, a first leg hinge portion 34, a first leg face portion 31, a second leg hinge portion 35, a second leg face portion 32, a third leg hinge portion 36, and a third leg face portion 33. The leg hinge portions 34, 35, and 36 are provided extending in the front-rear direction. The leg face portions 31, 32, and 33 each have a substantially rectangular shape that is long in the front-rear direction.

[0026] The leg portion 3 is provided with a fourth leg hinge portion 37 that extends in a direction substantially orthogonal to the lower side 12 at the central portion of the leg portion 3 in the front-rear direction. The fourth leg hinge portion 37 is provided across the leg surface portions 31, 32, 33 and the leg hinge portions 34, 35, 36. One end of the fourth leg hinge portion 37 is connected to the end of the side hinge portion 13 of the side surface portion 1.

[0027] The first leg surface portion 31 is provided with a pair of front and rear first leg wall surface portions 311 that sandwich the fourth leg hinge portion 37. Similarly, the second leg surface portion 32 and the third leg surface portion 33 are provided with a pair of front and rear second leg wall surface portions 321 and third leg wall surface portions 331 that sandwich the fourth leg hinge portion 37. The leg wall surface portions 311, 321, 331 have a substantially rectangular shape that is long in the front-rear direction.

[0028] In the present embodiment, the leg portion 3 is formed by attaching two substantially rectangular core materials at intervals in the front-rear direction for each of the leg surface portions 31, 32, 33 to a rectangular fabric that is long in the front-rear direction. In the present embodiment, the fabric of the leg portion 3 and the fabric of the side surface portion 1 are formed of a continuous single fabric. However, the side surface portion 1 and the leg portion 3 may be connected by, for example, sewing.

[0029] The six core material regions form the leg wall surface portions 311, 321, 331. The fabric region between the side of the fabric connected to the lower side 12 of the side surface portion 1 and the first leg wall surface portion 311 forms the first leg hinge portion 34. The fabric region between the first leg wall surface portion 311 and the second leg wall surface portion 321 forms the first leg hinge portion 34. The fabric region between the second leg wall surface portion 321 and the third leg wall surface portion 331 forms the third leg hinge portion 36. Here, the core materials constituting the leg wall surface portions 311, 321, 331 are attached to the fabric surface facing the side surface portion 1 when the leg portion 3 is folded back toward the upper portion 11 side of the side surface portion 1. However, the core materials may be attached to the opposite fabric surface or may be attached to both sides.

[0030] Note that the core material constituting the side wall surface portion 14 and the leg wall surface portions 311, 321, and 331 may be embedded between two pieces of fabric. Also, the core material may be, for example, wood such as a single board or plywood, a synthetic resin board such as an acrylic board or a polystyrene board, a metal plate, a non-woven fabric, etc., as long as it has rigidity capable of supporting the article B stored in the luggage storage space S. Further, a core material may be provided on the fabric of the connecting portion 2. Also, the side surface portion 1, the connecting portion 2, and the leg portion 3 are not particularly limited in material as long as they have rigidity capable of supporting the article B stored in the luggage storage space S, such as those integrally formed by hot pressing or laser welding a synthetic resin sheet such as a polyurethane sheet, a microfiber sheet, or a polyvinyl chloride sheet.

[0031] As shown in FIGS. 5 to 7, the leg portion 3 is connected to the lower side of the side surface portion 1 and is provided so as to be foldable toward the upper portion 11 side of the side surface portion 1. Further, the leg portion 3 includes a first leg surface portion 31, a second leg surface portion 32, and a third leg surface portion 33, and is configured to be foldable so that the leg surface portions 31, 32, and 33 form a triangular support structure. When the leg hinges 34, 35, and 36 of the leg portion 3 are bent upward so as to enclose the tip portion on the third leg surface portion 33 side, the third leg surface portion 33 faces the lower side of the outer surface of the side surface portion 1 with the tip portion facing downward. When the upper portion 11 sides of the left and right side surface portions 1 are widened, the lower side portion of the outer surface of the side surface portion 1 comes into contact with the third leg surface portion 33, and the side surface portion 1 is held in an inclined posture. Thereby, a luggage storage space S capable of storing an article B such as a hand luggage is formed between the left and right side surface portions 1.

[0032] When folding the luggage rack of this embodiment, as shown in Fig. 6, when the left and right side portions 1 approach each other, the end surface hinge portion 23 of the connecting portion 2 bends toward the luggage rack space S side, and the end surface member 21 is folded between the left and right side portions 1. The leg portion 3 having a triangular support structure is deployed, and the first leg hinge portion 34 is bent while making the second leg hinge portion 35 and the third leg hinge portion 36 linear so that the tip of the third leg surface portion 33 is aligned with the upper portion 11 of the side portion 1. As a result, as shown in Fig. 7, the leg portion 3 assumes a flat posture along the outer surface of the side portion 1. At this time, the side hinge portion 13 of the side portion 1 and the fourth leg hinge portion 37 of the leg portion 3 overlap. After aligning the left and right leg portions 3 along the outer surfaces of the left and right side portions 1, as shown in Fig. 8, the side hinge portion 13 and the fourth leg hinge portion 37 are bent so that both ends of the lower side 12 of the side portion 1 overlap, and the luggage rack is set in the storage posture.

[0033] For example, the planar size of the luggage rack in the storage posture is the size of A4 paper, and it has a size that is easy to accommodate in bags such as business bags and backpacks, and furniture such as bookends and wagons. In addition, on the left and right side portions 1, a first locking tool 41 for detachably locking the upper portions 11 to each other is provided. Further, on the left and right leg portions 3, a second locking tool 42 for detachably locking the tip portion on the third leg surface portion 33 side and the upper portion 11 of the side portion 1 is provided. By providing the locking tools 41 and 42, it is possible to prevent the left and right side portions 1 from opening or the leg portions 3 from hanging down when unfolding the folded luggage rack, and the assembly workability is improved. Note that the illustration of the locking tools 41 and 42 in Figs. 1 to 4 is omitted.

[0034] The locking tools 41 and 42 are formed of, for example, magnets embedded in the upper end portions of the side hinge portions 13 of the left and right side portions 1 and the tip portions of the fourth leg hinge portions 37 of the left and right leg portions 3, or magnets and ferromagnetic bodies. Note that the locking tools 41 and 42 are not limited to those using magnetic force, and are not particularly limited as long as they can detachably lock the upper portions 11 of the left and right side portions 1 to each other or the upper portion 11 of the side portion 1 and the tip portion of the leg portion 3, such as hook-and-loop fasteners or snap buttons.

[0035] Also, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, a deployment prevention device 5 for preventing the deployment of the luggage rack in the stored posture may be provided at the portion of the leg portion 3 that becomes the outer surface when the luggage rack is in the stored posture. The deployment prevention device 5 has, for example, a band 51 and a locking device 52, and holds the luggage rack in the stored posture with the hinge portions 13 and 37 bent so that both ends of the lower side 12 of the side surface portion 1 overlap, making it impossible to deploy. Thereby, the deployment of the luggage rack in a storage location such as inside a bag can be prevented, improving the storage performance.

[0036] As shown in FIG. 8, as a connecting portion 2 for connecting the left and right side surface portions 1 so that the upper portions 11 can be separated and joined, a bottom connecting member 28 for connecting the portions near the lower sides 12 of the left and right side surface portions 1 may be provided. The bottom connecting member 28 is formed of, for example, a fabric joined or sewn to each of the portions near the lower sides 12 of the left and right side surface portions 1.

[0037] Thereby, by providing the bottom connecting member 28, the separation between the lower sides 12 of the left and right side surface portions 1 at the center in the front-rear direction of the luggage rack space S can be prevented, improving the rigidity of the luggage rack space S and the storage stability of the article B. Note that the bottom connecting member 28 may be provided long in the front-rear direction along the lower side 12, or may be provided partially at one or a plurality of locations in the front-rear direction.

[0038] With reference to FIGS. 9 and 10, still another embodiment will be described. In the description of the present embodiment, the same reference numerals are given to the components similar to those of the above-described embodiments described so far, and the description thereof is omitted. In the present embodiment, the connecting portion 2 for connecting the left and right side surface portions 1 includes a substantially trapezoidal trapezoidal end surface member 24 that connects the standing sides 15 of the left and right side surface portions 1, and a bottom member 25 that connects the lower sides 12.

[0039] The trapezoidal end face member 24 is formed of, for example, a fabric, and like the end face member 21, includes left and right connection hinge portions 22 provided at the connection locations with the standing side 15, and an end face hinge portion 23 extending in the vertical direction at the left and right central portions. Thereby, when the trapezoidal end face member 24 is closed so as to overlap the left and right side face portions 1 in the open state, it can be folded between the left and right side face portions 1. In the present embodiment, the trapezoidal end face members 24 are connected to the front and rear standing sides 15 of the side face portion 1, respectively. Note that the lower side of the trapezoidal end face member 24 is provided with a slight upward convex bend so as to be foldable between the left and right side face portions 1.

[0040] The bottom member 25 connecting the lower sides 12 of the left and right side face portions 1 has a rectangular shape that is long in the front-rear direction. The bottom member 25 is formed of, for example, a fabric, and the connection location with the lower side 12 forms a foldable bottom connection hinge portion 26. Further, the bottom member 25 includes a bottom surface hinge portion 27 provided so as to be foldable along a center line extending in the front-rear direction. In the present embodiment, when the left and right side face portions 1 are closed, the bottom surface hinge portion 27 of the bottom member 25 bends upward convexly, making it foldable between the left and right side face portions 1.

[0041] As shown in Fig. 10, for the luggage rack of this embodiment, when the left and right side portions 1 are opened in a substantially U-shape with the upper portion 11 being wider, the trapezoidal end members 24 and the bottom member 25 are deployed, and the legs 3 are assembled into a triangular support structure shape and installed on the installation surface F, a luggage storage space S having a bottom surface is formed. Thereby, since the article B stored in the luggage storage space S is supported by the installation surface F via the bottom member 25, the storage stability of the article B can be improved. Also, since the luggage storage space S can be surrounded by the left and right side portions 1 and the front and rear trapezoidal end members 24, the fall of the article B from the luggage storage space S can be reliably prevented. In addition, in the bottom member 25, a core material may be provided between the bottom surface hinge portion 27 and the left and right bottom connection hinge portions 26. In this case, it is preferable not to provide a core material at the center portion in the front-rear direction of the bottom member 25 (the position corresponding to the side hinge portion 13 and the fourth leg hinge portion 37) so that the bottom member 25 can be folded in two together with the left and right side portions 1 and the legs 3 that are overlapped and folded in two. Further, a cushion material such as an EVA sheet may be fixed to the bottom member 25 so as to mitigate the impact when the article B is stored in the luggage storage space S.

[0042] Fig. 11 is a schematic cross-sectional view for explaining a modification example of the leg 3. The leg 3 of the luggage rack of this embodiment is provided with a leg locking tool 40 that detachably locks the tip portions of the left and right third leg surfaces 33 to each other. The leg locking tool 40 is formed of, for example, a hook-and-loop fastener, but is not particularly limited as long as it can detachably lock the tip portions of the left and right third leg surfaces 33 to each other, such as a magnet or a snap button.

[0043] In this embodiment, when assembling the leg 3 into a triangular support structure, after separating the leg 3 from the side portion 1, the tip portions of the left and right third leg surfaces 33 are connected to each other by the leg locking tool 40. When the left and right third leg surfaces 33 are placed on the installation surface F and the lower side 12 of the left and right side portions 1 is arranged above the boundary portion of the left and right third leg surfaces 33, the second leg surface 32 and the first leg surface 31 become mountain-shaped, and the first leg surface 31 is arranged to face the lower portion of the outer surface of the side portion 1. That is, in the luggage rack of this embodiment, in the triangular support structure of the leg 3, the first leg surface 31 contacts the lower portion of the outer surface of the side portion 1 to hold the side portion 1 in an inclined posture.

[0044] In this embodiment, the portion of the leg 3 that contacts the installation surface F is the surface of the third leg surface portion 33 that faces the side surface 1 when the leg 3 is arranged along the side surface 1. Therefore, even if dirt or the like adheres to this surface, the surface will be hidden during transportation and storage, so that, for example, dirt on the inside of a bag, the user's hand, a storage location, etc. can be prevented.

[0045] FIG. 12 is a cross-sectional view showing another modification of the leg 3. The leg 3 of the luggage stand of this embodiment includes a fourth leg surface portion 38 connected to the tip side of the third leg surface portion 33. The fourth leg surface portion 38 is connected to the third leg surface portion 33 via a foldable fifth leg hinge portion 39, and is provided so as to be able to change its posture with respect to the third leg surface portion 33.

[0046] In this embodiment, the leg 3 is assembled into a triangular support structure by winding the tip side of the fourth leg surface portion 38 so that the fourth leg surface portion 38 overlaps the first leg surface portion 31. The tip portion of the fourth leg surface portion 38 is arranged so as to be close to or in contact with the lower end portion (the end portion on the first leg surface portion 31 side) of the second leg surface portion 32 on the first leg surface portion 31. Thereby, the left and right outward movement of the lower end portion (the end portion on the fourth leg surface portion 38 side) of the fourth leg surface portion 38 and the third leg surface portion 33 connected thereto is restricted, so that a strong triangular support structure of the leg 3 that is not easily collapsed can be formed to reliably support the side surface 1, and the storage stability of the article B is improved.

[0047] FIG. 13 is a cross-sectional view showing still another modification of the leg portion 3. In the luggage rack of the present embodiment, one of the left and right leg portions 3A and 3B, i.e., the leg portion 3A, is connected to the lower side 12 of the side surface portion 1 in the same manner as in the above embodiment, while the other leg portion 3B is not connected to the lower side 12 of the side surface portion 1. That is, the other leg portion 3B does not include the first leg hinge portion 34. The left and right leg portions 3A and 3B are connected via a leg connection hinge portion 30 whose tip portions (sides opposite to the third leg hinge portion 36 of the third leg surface portion 33) extend in the front-rear direction. That is, the first leg hinge portion 34 of one leg portion 3A is connected to the lower side 12 of one side surface portion 1, and the third leg surface portion 33 of the other leg portion 3B is connected to the tip of one leg portion 3A via the leg connection hinge portion 30. The other leg portion 3B includes, in order from the leg connection hinge portion 30 side, a third leg surface portion 33, a third leg hinge portion 36, a second leg surface portion 32, a second leg hinge portion 35, and a first leg surface portion 31. The leg connection hinge portion 30 is provided so as to be foldable and is formed of, for example, fabric.

[0048] As shown in FIG. 13(A), at the time of assembly, the left and right leg portions 3A and 3B are assembled into a triangular support structure so that the leg connection hinge portion 30 is positioned below the lower side 12 of the left and right side surface portions 1. As shown in FIG. 13(B), at the time of storage, the left and right leg portions 3A and 3B are made flat, folded back with the leg connection hinge portion 30, and overlapped, and the overlapped leg portions 3A and 3B can be folded back to the upper portion 11 side of the side surface portion 1 with the first leg hinge portion 34 of one leg portion 3A and arranged along one side surface portion 1.

[0049] Furthermore, in the same manner as in FIG. 8(B), the left and right side surface portions 1 are overlapped, and the side surface hinge portion 13 and the fourth leg hinge portion 37 (see FIG. 3 etc.) are folded so that both ends of the lower side 12 of the side surface portion 1 overlap, and the luggage rack is put into a double-folded storage posture. At this time, by folding the overlapped leg portions 3A and 3B and the left and right side surface portions 1 in half so that the front and rear leg wall surface portions 311, 321, and 331 of the other leg portion 3B face each other, the portion of the leg portions 3A and 3B that contacts the installation surface F is folded inward, so that, for example, dirt on the inside of a bag, a user's hand, a storage place, etc. can be prevented.

[0050] Needless to say, the configuration of the leg portion 3 shown in FIGS. 11, 12, and 13 is also applicable to the embodiment having the trapezoidal end surface member 24 and the bottom member 25.

[0051] As described above, the embodiments and modifications have been explained. However, the present invention is not limited to the foregoing embodiments and can be embodied in various forms. The configuration of each part is not limited to the illustrated embodiments, and various changes can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention. For example, the configurations described in the foregoing embodiments and modifications (such as the written part) may be combined, and addition, omission, substitution, and other changes of the configuration are possible.

[0052] For example, the side surface portion 1 and the leg portion 3 do not have to be provided with the side surface hinge portion 13 and the fourth leg hinge portion 37 for making the side surface portion 1 foldable in two so that both ends of the lower side 12 of the side surface portion 1 overlap. Further, two or more side surface hinge portions 13 and fourth leg hinge portions 37 spaced apart in the front-rear direction may be provided on the side surface portion 1 and the leg portion 3, and the side surface portion 1 and the leg portion 3 may be provided so as to be foldable in a Z shape (three-fold shape), a W shape (four-fold shape), or a pleated shape of five or more layers.
