[Prior art documents] [Patent documents]
[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2020-108721 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0005] Incidentally, in order to smoothly proceed with shopping at a supermarket or the like, some people use shopping baskets that they have prepared themselves to carry food and other items, rather than the shopping baskets provided at the supermarket or the like.
[0006] In such cases, after completing the checkout, customers often place the items in a shopping cart that they have prepared and carry it home. However, when purchasing fresh foods such as meat or fish, these items will spoil if transported in the shopping cart, so they must be transferred to a shopping bag with a cooling function before transporting. This creates a problem in that the task of rearranging the items after shopping becomes cumbersome.
[0007] SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a refrigerated shopping bag that simplifies the process of handling the bag after shopping. [Means for solving the problem]
[0008] The insulated shopping bag of the present invention comprises a roughly rectangular prism-shaped bag body having a storage space inside that can hold a shopping basket, a shoulder strap attached to the bag body that is suitable for use as a shoulder bag, and a pair of handles attached to the bag body that are suitable for use as a hand-carried bag, and the bag body has a zipper part that opens and closes the storage space and is configured with an insulated function.
[0009] In this invention, a storage space capable of storing a shopping basket is provided inside the bag body, which is approximately rectangular. This allows a user to store fresh food in a shopping basket inside the bag body, which has a cold storage function. This eliminates the need to remove fresh food from the shopping basket, simplifying the process after shopping.
[0010] In the refrigerated shopping bag of the present invention, it is preferable that the bag body has a width of 530 mm±30 mm, a depth of 370 mm±20 mm, and a height of 330 mm±30 mm. Typically, most shopping baskets available for personal use have width dimensions of approximately 500 mm, depth dimensions of approximately 350 mm, and height dimensions of approximately 250 mm. Therefore, with this configuration, the bag body has width dimensions of 530 mm ± 30 mm, depth dimensions of 370 mm ± 20 mm, and height dimensions of 330 mm ± 30 mm, so that many shopping baskets available in circulation can be stored in the internal storage space.
[0011] In the refrigerated shopping bag of the present invention, the bag body preferably has a four-layer structure. In this configuration, the bag body has a four-layer structure, so it can have sufficient cold insulation function.
[0012] In the refrigerated shopping bag of the present invention, the fastener portion is provided from one side surface of the bag body, passing through the front side, to the other side surface. In this configuration, the zipper runs from one side of the bag body, across the front, to the other side, allowing for a larger opening to the storage space, making it easier to store a shopping basket inside. [Brief explanation of the drawings]
[0013] [Figure 1] 1 is a perspective view of an insulated shopping bag according to an embodiment, seen from the front side; [Figure 2] FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a cross-sectional structure of the bag body of the embodiment. [Figure 3] 4A and 4B are diagrams illustrating a state in which the refrigerated shopping bag of the embodiment is used. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0014] [Embodiment] An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. 1 is a perspective view of the front side of the insulated shopping bag 1 of this embodiment. In this embodiment, the insulated shopping bag 1 is configured as an insulated bag that can store a commonly available shopping basket K (see FIG. 3) inside. As shown in FIG. 1, the refrigerated shopping bag 1 of this embodiment comprises a bag body 2, a shoulder strap 3, and a handle 4.
[0015] [Bag body 2] The bag body 2 is made of synthetic resin or the like and has a storage space S inside that can store a shopping basket K that is in circulation. Specifically, the bag body 2 is roughly rectangular parallelepiped in shape, with a width dimension W of 530 mm ± 30 mm, a depth dimension D of 370 mm ± 20 mm, and a height dimension H of 330 mm ± 30 mm. Note that "roughly rectangular parallelepiped" is not limited to a completely rectangular parallelepiped shape, but includes a range that can be recognized as a rectangular parallelepiped shape. In this embodiment, the bag body 2 has a four-layer structure, which provides a cold insulation function. The structure of the bag body 2 will be described in detail later.
[0016] In this embodiment, the bag body 2 has a zipper portion 21 and a pocket portion 22. The fastener portion 21 is provided from one side surface of the bag body 2, passing through the front side to the other side, thereby making it possible to enlarge the opening O (see FIG. 3) of the storage space S, as will be described later. The pocket 22 is provided on the front side of the bag body 2 and can be opened and closed with a zipper, so that receipts, small items, etc. can be stored in the pocket 22.
[0017] [Shoulder strap 3] The shoulder belt 3 is made of synthetic resin and configured as a so-called band-shaped belt. In this embodiment, one end of the shoulder belt 3 is fixed to one side of the bag body 2, and the other end is fixed to the other side of the bag body 2. This allows the user to use the refrigerated shopping bag 1 as a shoulder bag.
[0018] [Handheld part 4] The handle 4 is made of synthetic resin and configured as a so-called handle. In this embodiment, the handle 4 is fixed to the upper part of the front side and the upper part of the back side of the bag body 2 as a pair. That is, in this embodiment, two handles 4 are provided for the bag body 2. This allows the refrigerated shopping bag 1 to be used in a hand-held configuration depending on the usage situation.
[0019] [Cross-sectional structure of bag body 2] Next, the cross-sectional structure of the bag body 2 will be described. Fig. 2 is a diagram showing the cross-sectional structure of the bag body 2. In Fig. 3, the upper side is the inner side of the bag body 2, and the lower side is the outer side of the bag body 2. As shown in FIG. 2, the bag body 2 has a cross-sectional structure including a first layer 23, a second layer 24, a third layer 25, and a fourth layer 26.
[0020] The first layer 23, which is located on the innermost side, is made of polyethylene film. The second layer 24, which is located second from the innermost side, is made of polyethylene foam. The third layer 25, which is located third from the innermost side, is made of polypropylene. Finally, the fourth layer 26, which is located on the outermost side, is made of polyester.
[0021] In this embodiment, the cross-sectional structure of the bag body 2 has a four-layer structure, which allows it to have a cold insulation function. In particular, the second layer 24, which is the second innermost layer, is made of polyethylene foam, which provides sufficient cold insulation for transporting fresh foods such as meat and fish.
[0022] [About the usage of the insulated shopping bag 1] Next, the use of the refrigerated shopping bag 1 will be described. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the refrigerated shopping bag 1 in use. As shown in Figure 3, opening the fastener 21 of the bag body 2 opens the opening O, exposing the storage space S inside the bag body 2. A shopping basket K can then be stored in the storage space S through the opening O. This allows a personally prepared shopping basket K containing fresh food to be stored inside the bag body 2, which has a cold storage function. This eliminates the need to remove fresh food from the personally prepared shopping basket K, simplifying the process after shopping.
[0023] In this embodiment, as described above, the bag body 2 is substantially rectangular, with a width W of 530 mm±30 mm, a depth D of 370 mm±20 mm, and a height H of 330 mm±30 mm. Generally, most commercially available shopping baskets for personal use have a width of approximately 500 mm, a depth of approximately 350 mm, and a height of approximately 250 mm. Therefore, most commercially available shopping baskets K can be stored in the storage space S inside the bag body 2.
[0024] The first embodiment as described above can achieve the following effects. (1) In this embodiment, a storage space S capable of storing a shopping basket K is provided inside the bag body 2, which is shaped like a substantially rectangular parallelepiped. This allows a shopping basket K prepared by an individual to be stored inside the bag body 2, which has a cold storage function, with fresh food stored in the shopping basket K. This eliminates the need to replace the fresh food from the shopping basket K prepared by an individual, simplifying the work after shopping.
[0025] (2) In this embodiment, the bag body 2 has a width dimension W of 530 mm ± 30 mm, a depth dimension D of 370 mm ± 20 mm, and a height dimension H of 330 mm ± 30 mm, so that many of the shopping baskets K currently in circulation can be stored in the internal storage space S.
[0026] (3) In this embodiment, the bag body 2 has a four-layer structure, which provides sufficient cold insulation.
[0027] (4) In this embodiment, the fastener 21 is provided from one side of the bag body 2 through the front side to the other side, so that the opening O of the storage space S can be made large. Therefore, a shopping basket K can be easily stored inside.
[0028] [Variations] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and any modifications and improvements that can achieve the object of the present invention are included in the present invention.
[0029] In the above embodiment, the refrigerated shopping bag 1 is provided with the shoulder belt 3 and the handle 4, but is not limited to this. For example, it may be provided with a belt for carrying on the back, or may be provided with only one of the shoulder belt and the handle.
[0030] In the above embodiment, the pocket 22 is provided on the front side of the bag body 2, but this is not limited to this. For example, the pocket may be provided on the side or back side of the bag body. Furthermore, the present invention also includes a case where no pocket is provided.
[0031] In the above embodiment, the bag body 2 has a four-layer structure, but is not limited to this. For example, the bag body may have three or fewer layers, or five or more layers, as long as it is configured with a cold insulation function. [Explanation of symbols]
