Embodiments for Carrying out the Invention

[0010] <Embodiment> Next, the embodiments will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 9.

[0011] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, when the fastener 4 (the first fastener portion 41 and the second fastener portion 42) of the bag 1 is opened to an open state, it has a flat planar portion 2 and a wall portion 3 surrounding the entire circumference (edge) of the planar portion 2. FIG. 1 is a perspective view seen from the inside, FIG. 2 is a plan view seen from the inside, and FIG. 3 is a bottom view seen from the outside. The bag 1 is entirely formed of a flexible material such as cloth, leather, or thick film.

[0012] The planar portion 2 is line-symmetric about the center line CL and has a substantially elliptical shape obtained by adding a rectangle between ellipses. The central region in the longitudinal direction is the mesh portions 23 and 24 formed of mesh fabric, and it is a so-called see-through where the other side can be visually recognized.

[0013] On the center line CL, a planar belt 25 about 2 to 5 cm wide made of a durable thick belt fabric is attached inside the planar portion 2. Also, a bottom belt 73 made of the same belt fabric is attached outside. Bottom hook portions 74 and 75 are formed on the bottom belt 73.

[0014] Both ends in the longitudinal direction of the mesh portion 23 are the front body 21 and the rear body 22 formed of a strong material, and a pocket 8 is attached to the outside of the front body 21. Shoulder straps 7 (shoulder straps 71 and 72) are attached to the outside of the rear body 22. Handles 5 (5A and 5B) are attached to the longitudinal ends of the planar portion 2.

[0015] The wall portion 3 stands substantially perpendicular to the flat portion 2 and is formed with substantially the same width throughout the circumference. Therefore, even if small toys or small items are spread inside the open bag 1, the wall portion 3 serves as a barrier, making it difficult for small toys or small items to unexpectedly fall out.

[0016] The wall portion 3 is fixed to the boundary of the flat portion 2 by sewing, and the wall portion 3 can be brought into contact with the flat portion 2 by simply pushing it with a slight force. Therefore, even if a child touches the bag 1 with their hand, they will not be injured by the wall portion 3.

[0017] On the entire edge of the wall portion 3 on the side opposite to the flat portion 2, a fastener 4 is attached. The fastener 4 has a first fastener portion 41 attached to the wall portion 31 which is a semi - circumference on the rear body 22 side with the center line CL as the boundary, and a second fastener portion 42 attached to the wall portion 32 which is a semi - circumference on the front body 21 side. The first fastener portion 41 and the second fastener portion 42 can be fitted and closed. As a result, the wall portions 31, 32 constitute the main body portion 30 of the side and top surface portions.

[0018] A bag portion 6 is formed at the boundary portion between the flat portion 2 and the wall portion 3, and a soft rod - shaped wire (not shown) made of plastic or the like is inserted inside the bag portion 6. Details of this wire will be described later.

[0019] The fastener 4 is provided with surplus fastener portions 43, 44 which are surplus portions. Even when the flat portion 2 is in a completely flat state, the engaging portion of the fastener is in a state where it is closed by about 5 - 20 mm. Thereby, even when the user pulls it so as to expand it in the longitudinal direction, it is possible to suppress damage to the fastener 4.

[0020] In this way, in the bag 1, in the open state where the fastener is not fastened, since the soft wall portion 3 surrounding the flat portion 2 is provided, toys and small items can be safely spread and used using the flat portion 2.

[0021] FIG. 4 is a perspective view seen from the upper front torso with the fastener 4 closed, and FIG. 5 is a front view seen from the front torso side with the fastener 4 closed.

[0022] In the closed state, in the bag 1, since the tips of the wall portions 3 are fitted together, the wall portion 3 that constitutes the main gusset portion from the rear torso 22 and the front torso 21 forms a main gusset portion 30 that connects between the bottom gusset portions 20. That is, the main gusset portion 30 is twice the width of the wall portion 3 because the two wall portions 31, 32 are connected by a fastener.

[0023] When the fastener 4 is in the closed state, the wall portions 3 are connected by the fastener 4 and the wall portions 3 are continuously connected without a break. Therefore, the gusset folds 33, 34 project greatly outward from the rear torso 22 and the front torso 21, and the main gusset portion 30 protrudes from the rear torso 22 and the front torso 21 from near the bottom surface to above.

[0024] Further, surplus fastener portions 43, 44 and locking portions 47, 48 extend from the gusset fold lines 33A, 34A (on the center line CL in the wall portion 3 (see FIGS. 2 and 6)) of the gusset folds 33, 34.

[0025] That is, in the vicinity of the handle 5, although the main gusset portion 30 can secure a gusset width that is twice the width of the wall portion 3, in the gusset folds 33, 34, the main gusset width becomes small, and accordingly, the bottom gusset width of the bottom gusset portion 20 that constitutes the bottom surface becomes small (see FIG. 9).

[0026] Therefore, in the bag 1 of the present invention, the gusset folds 33, 34 are folded toward the bottom surface and locked to secure the bottom gusset width.

[0027] FIGS. 6 to 9 show the bag 1 in a state where the bottom hook portions 74, 75 and the locking portions 47, 48 are fitted and locked. FIG. 6 is a front view, FIG. 7 is a perspective view, FIG. 8 is a rear view, and FIG. 9 is a right side view.

[0028] Latch portions 47 and 48 are formed with latching hooks 47A and 48A, which can be engaged with the bottom hook portions 74 and 75. These bottom hook portions 74 and 75 are formed at positions separated from the ends of the bottom belt 73 by a distance longer than that of the extra-length fastener portions 43 and 44.

[0029] When the user holds the latching portions 47 and 48 and bends the folding portions 33 and 34 toward the bottom surface to engage the bottom hook portions 74 and 75 with the latching hooks 47A and 48A, the protrusion of the main folding portion 30 is reduced and the main folding width is ensured.

[0030] Here, as described above, a pocket portion 6 is formed at the boundary between the wall portion 3 (main folding portion 30) and the flat portion 2, and a wire is inserted therein. As the wire, one that can be distorted at a radius R of 1 / 2 or less of the main folding portion 30 (i.e., equal to the height of the wall portions 31 and 32) is preferably used.

[0031] If it cannot be distorted at a radius R of 1 / 2 or less of the main folding portion 30, the width of the bottom folding portion 20 becomes larger than that of the main folding portion 30, which is not preferable.

[0032] In the bag 1, when the handle 5 is on the upper side, the mesh portion 23 is on the lower side so that the contents can be seen. As a result, the contents can be easily confirmed from the outside, and the color and flavor of the contents can be used as an accent for the appearance.

[0033] Also, a flat belt 25 and a bottom belt 73 are attached to the centers of the mesh portions 23 and 24, and the bottom center portion where the most weight of the contents is applied is reinforced.

[0034] Also, adjusters 71A and 72A are attached to the shoulder straps 71 and 72 so that the length of the straps can be adjusted. One end of each of these shoulder straps 71 and 72 is near the handle 5 on the rear body 22, and the other end is fixed to the bottom belt 73.

[0035] In this way, with the bag 1, the contents can be stored and used by simply unfolding it, improving the convenience for the user. In particular, it is suitable for carrying small toys such as block toys and playing with them by unfolding them as they are. Due to the effect of the wall portion 3 formed around the entire circumference, it is possible to play within the flat portion 2 without accidentally flying away during play, and it can also be stored simply by fastening the fastener 4.

[0036] <Operation and Effects> Hereinafter, the characteristics of the invention group extracted from the above-described embodiments will be described while indicating problems, effects, etc. as necessary. In the following, for ease of understanding, the corresponding configurations in the above embodiments are appropriately indicated in parentheses, etc., but it is not limited to the specific configurations indicated by such parentheses, etc. Also, the meanings and examples of the terms described for each feature may be applied as the meanings and examples of the terms described in the same language.

[0037] According to the above configuration, a flat portion (flat portion 2) that is not symmetric with respect to the center line, a wall portion (wall portion 3) that stands perpendicular to the flat portion and surrounds the flat portion, a first fastener portion (first fastener portion 41) formed on the first half circumference of the upper edge of the wall portion with the center line as a boundary, and a second fastener portion (second fastener portion 42) formed on the second half circumference opposite to the first half circumference and fitting with the first fastener portion, wherein the wall portion in a closed state where the first and second fasteners are fitted, constitutes a main mat portion (main mat portion 30) connecting both ends of a bottom mat portion (bottom mat portion 20) serving as a bottom surface, and is characterized by a bag.

[0038] As a result, without taking out the contents, when the fastener is opened, the contents can be used directly on the flat portion which is a single flat surface without protrusions. Also, since the entire circumference is surrounded by the wall portion, it is possible to prevent the contents from coming out of the flat portion. Therefore, if the fastener is tightened with the contents placed on the flat portion, the contents can be stored as they are. That is, the bag of the present invention is a convenient bag that can carry the contents, spread them out and play with them at the destination, or store them, and can significantly improve the convenience for the user.

[0039] In the bag, the first fastener portion and the second fastener portion have the surplus fastener portions (surplus fastener portions 43, 44) from the main gusset portion and are characterized by this.

[0040] This can prevent the fastener from being damaged even when trying to forcefully expand the flat portion.

[0041] In the bag, it is characterized by having locking portions (locking portions 47, 48) provided on the tip side of the surplus fastener portion.

[0042] This can lock the folded gusset portion which is the protruding portion protruding from the main gusset portion and the surplus fastener portion to the bag, and can prevent the surplus fastener portion that has drooped from being accidentally caught.

[0043] The locking portion is locked to the bottom surface locking portion (bottom surface hook portions 74, 75) formed on the bottom gusset portion.

[0044] This can lock the folded gusset portion which is the protruding portion protruding from the main gusset portion to the bottom surface following it, so that it reinforces the bottom surface and can hide the folded gusset portion on the bottom surface which is difficult to visually recognize, and can maintain the fashionability.

[0045] In the bag, The joining part (pocket part 6) of the flat part and the wall part is provided with a wire having elasticity that can be distorted with R being 1 / 2 or less of the main mat part, which is a feature.

[0046] As a result, when the fastener is opened, the flatness of the flat part can be enhanced.

[0047] In the bag, the flat part has mesh parts (mesh parts 23, 24) formed of a mesh material in a central region sandwiching the center line. The bag according to claim 1, characterized in that.

[0048] As a result, even when the bag is not opened, the contents can be visually recognized from the outside, so the convenience for the user can be improved.

[0049] In the bag, on the center line a belt part (bottom belt 73) for reinforcing the bottom mat part is formed. This is a feature.

[0050] As a result, the mesh part, which is weak in strength as a material, can be reinforced at the bottom center part where it is most difficult to be visually recognized.

[0051] In the bag, one end of a shoulder strap (shoulder strap 7) is connected to the belt part. This is a feature.

[0052] As a result, the shoulder strap can be attached to the belt part with high strength.

[0053] According to the above configuration, the bag (bag 1) of the present invention has a fastener (fastener 4) formed on the entire circumference of the main mat part (main mat part 30) connecting between the bottom surfaces, constitutes a front body (front body 21) and a rear body (rear body 22), and a flat part (flat part 2) that constitutes one flat surface when the fastener is opened, A wall portion (wall portion 3) that constitutes the main body portion and forms a wall standing on the entire edge of the flat portion when the fastener is opened, and It is characterized by comprising.

[0054] In the above-described embodiment, the flat portion 2 had a substantially elliptical shape, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, it may be rectangular or rhombic, as long as it is line-symmetric. Even in this case, the same effects as those of the above-described embodiment can be obtained.

[0055] In the above-described embodiment, the wall portion 3 has the same width (height), but the present invention is not limited to this. As long as a single continuous wall portion is formed over the entire circumference, for example, it may be made lower as it moves away from the center. Even in this case, the same effects as those of the above-described embodiment can be obtained.

[0056] In the above-described embodiment, the locking portions 47 and 48 are provided, but the present invention is not limited to this. The locking portion is not necessarily required. Also, although the locking portion is locked to the bottom surface (bottom hook portions 74 and 75), it may be locked anywhere on the bag 1, for example, it may be locked to somewhere on the main body portion 30 or the rear body 22.

[0057] In the above-described embodiment, the mesh portion 23 is provided, but the present invention is not limited to this. The entire surface may be formed of thick fabric, leather, or the like. Also, it is possible to use a thick transparent sheet instead of the mesh. Even in this case, the same effects as those of the above-described embodiment can be obtained.

[0058] In the above-described embodiment, the bottom surface is reinforced by the bottom belt 73 and the flat belt 25, but these are not essential.

[0059] In the above-described embodiment, the shoulder strap 7 and the handle 5 are provided, but the present invention is not limited to this. It is possible to appropriately change the design according to the use and material of the bag.
