[0014] (First embodiment) A bag with side pockets, particularly a backpack 1, according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
[0015] First, the overall structure of a backpack 1 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 1. As shown in Fig. 1, backpack 1 according to this embodiment 1 comprises a main body 2 having sufficient internal storage space and fitted with a round zipper for opening and closing, a pair of shoulder straps (backpack straps) 3 connected to the upper back side of main body 2, a size adjustment belt 4 for adjusting the length of shoulder straps 3 using buckles 4a, side pockets 5 attached to the lower sides of main body 2, and a zippered pocket 6 provided on the lower front side of main body 2. Note that the structure of backpack 1 is not limited to that shown in this figure, and any structure capable of housing side pockets 5 may be used.
[0016] The size of this backpack 1 is, for example, 40 cm high, 24 cm wide at the top, and 28 cm wide at the bottom on the front side, and 41 cm high, 25 cm wide at the top, and 32 cm wide at the bottom on the back side, with a depth of 15 cm. The length of the shoulder straps 3 can be adjusted within a range of 53 cm to 91 cm using the size adjustment straps 4. The material of this backpack 1 may be any common material such as nylon, synthetic leather, genuine leather, or enamel.
[0017] Next, the structure of the side pocket 5 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to Figures 2 and 3. Note that Figure 2 shows the side pocket 5 in a closed state, and Figure 3 shows the side pocket 5 in an open state.
[0018] The side pocket 5 comprises a rectangular bag body 51 attached to the side of the backpack 1 to form a storage space between the bag body 51 and the side of the backpack 1, a cloth-like flap 52 sewn to the bottom edge of the bag body 51 so as to hang down, and magnetic attraction magnets 51a, 52a installed inside the bag body 51 and the flap 52. The front of the bag body 51 is formed with an opening 51b for removing tissues from a tissue case that is removably stored in the storage space. In this embodiment, this opening 51b has a rectangular shape with rounded corners, but it may be circular, oval, or another shape. The bag body 51 and the flap 52 are made of double fabric, and the magnetic attraction magnets 51a, 52a can be installed inside the double fabric.
[0019] The internal space formed between the side of the backpack 1 and the bag body 51 in the side pocket 5 is primarily intended to hold, but is not limited to, tissue cases such as wrapping, packages, or containers containing wet tissues, white tissues, etc. Any other container that allows the contents to be taken out through an opening is also preferred.
[0020] The attraction magnets 51a, 52a installed inside the bag body 51 and the flap 52 are fasteners installed in positions that attract and face each other when the flap 52 is in a closed state with the front of the bag body 51 covering it. With this arrangement, the attraction magnets 51a, 52a are positioned to attract each other in the closed state, and are magnetized to maintain the closed state. In addition, the attraction magnet 52a installed inside the flap 52 has weight, so that in the open state, the flap 52 can easily be formed and maintained in a state where it hangs down from the bottom edge of the bag body 51. Note that the opening and closing of the bag body 51 and the flap 52 is not limited to the attraction magnets 51a, 52a, and any other detachable structure such as hook-and-loop fasteners including Velcro (registered trademark) may be used.
[0021] 3, side pocket 5 according to this embodiment is provided with a hook (fastener) 53 for securing the opening of bag body 51. Hook 53 is a band-shaped holder located approximately in the center of the opening of bag body 51, capable of holding the opening at a predetermined opening width, and has a removable fastener such as a button or hook-and-loop fastener at its tip. Hook 53 can appropriately prevent tissue cases and the like stored in the internal space of bag body 51 from accidentally slipping out and falling or falling out.
[0022] As shown in Figures 1 to 5, zippered pocket 6 is a storage compartment located on the front of backpack 1, adjacent to one side of side pocket 5. Zippered pocket 6 has a linear zipper that can be opened and closed along its top and left and right sides, and also has a linear zipper that runs approximately in a straight line in the left-right direction on the front surface. This makes the opening of zippered pocket 6 large, making it easy to remove contents with one hand.
[0023] Furthermore, it is preferable that the vertical height of zippered pocket 6 is approximately equal to the height (depth) of side pocket 5. This configuration makes it possible to easily store items of a similar size to side pocket 5, such as spare wet wipes stored in side pocket 5, and also gives the overall design of rucksack 1 a unified look, improving its aesthetic appeal.
[0024] Next, the procedure for using rucksack 1 equipped with side pocket 5 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to Figure 4. First, hook 53 of side pocket 5 is unfastened, and a tissue case is placed inside bag body 51. At this time, flap 52 remains closed, covering the front of bag body 51, so that the contents stored inside bag body 51 can be hidden from view from the outside.
[0025] Next, when using wet tissues or the like, the magnetic attraction magnets 51a and 52a are demagnetized, and the flap 52 is left hanging down from the bottom edge of the bag 51 as shown in Figure 4, and the tissues to be used are taken out from the opening 51b. In this way, when using the bag, the gravity of the magnetic attraction 52a built into the flap 52 is used to expose the opening 51b with a single touch, allowing the tissues to be used quickly. When not in use, the magnetic attraction magnets 51a and 52a can be quickly magnetized with a click to close the bag 51 and the flap 52, which is extremely convenient.
[0026] In order to more clearly show the shape of the backpack 1 equipped with the side pocket 5 according to this embodiment, six views of the backpack 1 are shown in FIGS.
[0027] As explained above, the present invention relates to a backpack 1 equipped with a side pocket 5. Side pocket 5 comprises a rectangular bag body 51 attached to the side of backpack 1 to form a storage space between it and the side of backpack 1, a cloth-like flap 52 sewn to the bottom edge of bag body 51 so as to be able to hang down, and attractive magnets 51a, 52a attached to the inside of bag body 51 and flap 52, and an opening 51b is formed on the front of bag body 51 for removing tissues from a tissue case stored in the storage space so that they can be easily inserted and removed. With this configuration, when using tissues such as wet tissues, the present invention eliminates the need for a place to store the tissue case and allows tissues stored in the tissue case to be easily removed with one hand through opening 51b of side pocket 5, which has a special structure, making it extremely easy to take tissues in and out.
[0028] Additionally, this side pocket 5 is convenient for storing and keeping tissue cases, making this backpack 1 extremely user-friendly. It is particularly useful and convenient for women who often carry tissues in the backpack 1, such as pregnant women and women raising infants or small children.
[0029] The present invention is not limited to the configuration of the above embodiment, and various modifications are possible within the scope of the invention. For example, the structure of the side pocket 5 is not limited to application to the backpack 1, but can also be applied to general bags for carrying luggage, boxes of tissues in cars, etc. Furthermore, the items stored in the side pocket 5 are not limited to tissue cases, and when not using a tissue case, it can be used as a regular storage compartment.
[0030] A bag, particularly a backpack 1, and a side pocket structure according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. Note that the same components as those in the first embodiment will be designated by the same reference numerals and will not be described again.
[0031] (Second embodiment) The structure of a backpack 1 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to Figures 11 to 14. As shown in Figure 11, backpack 1 according to this embodiment has a side pocket 5 in which bag body 51 has a first hook-and-loop fastener 51c along the upper edge of its outer surface, and hook 53 has a second hook-and-loop fastener 53a at its tip. This is what makes it different from the first embodiment.
[0032] 11 to 14 is wider than that of the first embodiment, and its width is approximately the same as or slightly narrower than the width of the opening surface 51b. On the other hand, the hook 53 may be narrow as in the first embodiment. With this configuration, the number of operations required to separate the first hook-and-loop fastener 51c and the second hook-and-loop fastener 53a is reduced, making it easy to replace the contents of the side pocket 5.
[0033] As shown in FIG. 13, the hook 53 can be stored inside the side pocket 5 along the side surface of the main body 2. At this time, as shown in FIG. 14(b), the hook 53 is fastened with the second hook and loop fastener 53a engaged with the third hook and loop fastener 2a provided on the main body 2. This means that even when the hook 53 is not used to store items in the side pocket 5, the hook 53 does not get in the way of the items. Furthermore, if the hook 53 is wide, the engagement range between the second hook and loop fastener 53a and the third hook and loop fastener 2a is wide, and the hook 53 will not come off and get caught when putting items in or taking items out of the side pocket 5, allowing for comfortable use of the side pocket 5.
[0034] A bag, particularly a tote bag 7, and a side pocket structure according to a third embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. Note that the same components as those in the first and second embodiments will be designated by the same reference numerals and will not be described again.
[0035] First, the overall structure of a tote bag 7 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 15. As shown in Fig. 15, the tote bag 7 according to this embodiment includes a main body 2 having sufficient internal storage space and fitted with a zipper for opening and closing, a pair of shoulder straps (shoulder straps) 3 connected in an upwardly convex arc from the longitudinal sides of the main body 2, a side pocket 5 attached to the exterior of the lower side of the main body 2, and a zippered pocket 6. Note that the structure of the tote bag 7 is not limited to the structure shown in this figure, and any structure capable of attaching the side pocket 5 to the exterior may be used.
[0036] As shown in Figure 15, the side pockets 5 are preferably configured to be provided on the shorter sides of the main body 2. With this configuration, when the user uses the tote bag 7 with the shoulder strap 3 hanging from the shoulder, the side pockets 5 can be oriented in the same direction as the front of the body, allowing the wet wipes stored inside the side pockets 5 to be easily removed with one hand. The side pockets 5 may be configured in accordance with either the first or second embodiment.
[0037] The zippered pocket 6 is provided on the side of the main body 2, and its height (depth of the storage area) is preferably approximately the same as or lower (shallower) than the side pocket 5. This configuration makes it easy to store items of a similar size to the side pocket 5, such as spare wet wipes stored in the side pocket 5, and also gives the rucksack 1 a unified overall design, improving its aesthetic appeal.
