Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a stuffed animal storage pouch for storing and carrying a stuffed animal. [Background technology]

[0002] Among fans of idols or anime characters, the so-called "oshikatsu" (supporting an idol or character of your choice) is becoming increasingly popular. Users who support their favorite idols or characters attach stuffed toys of their favorite idols or characters to their personal belongings, etc., and actively display them to those around them, thereby expressing their feelings for the idols or characters. On the other hand, stuffed toys can be valuable to users. Therefore, there is a desire to be able to carry stuffed toys in a way that is visible to those around them, without crushing or soiling them.

[0003] To meet these demands, stuffed animal storage pouches are sold under names such as "stuffed animal pouches," "stuffed animal cases," or "stuffed animal bags" (see, for example, Non-Patent Document 1). Stuffed animal storage pouches have a window made of a transparent resin sheet so that the inside of the storage space can be seen from the outside. In addition, stuffed animal storage pouches can be opened and closed with a zipper that extends in the circumferential direction so that stuffed animals can be put in and taken out.

[0004] [Non-Patent Document 1] https: / / item.rakuten.co.jp / actionprime / itaba230817xy-03 / ?iasid=07rpp_10095___em-lssmd3zv-e9-f650caa9-0d33-4206-a784-9040355d8cfa (Internet, accessed February 19, 2024) Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] In many conventional box-shaped pouches for storing stuffed animals, the side walls where the slide fasteners are attached are made of opaque fabric. However, when the side walls are made of opaque material, the visibility of the stuffed animal inside is reduced from the sides, and the stuffed animal can only be seen from the front. On the other hand, when the entire side wall is made of transparent material, the beginning and end of the slide fastener cannot be hidden, which detracts from the appearance and texture of the product.

[0006] The present disclosure aims to solve the above-mentioned problems. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] A first aspect of the present disclosure is a pouch for storing stuffed animals, comprising a transparent window surface, a side wall extending in a wall-like manner from the periphery of the window surface in a direction perpendicular to the window surface and forming a storage space, a lid surface rotatably attached to the side wall surface via a hinge portion and capable of closing the storage space, and a slide fastener formed and extending circumferentially between the side wall surface and the lid surface, wherein the side wall surface is formed by connecting a transparent side wall surface formed from a transparent resin sheet and a band-shaped portion formed from an opaque fabric in the circumferential direction, and the starting end and the ending end of the slide fastener are sewn to the band-shaped portion. [Effects of the Invention]

[0008] The pouch for storing stuffed animals described above has a slide fastener located at the boundary between the side wall and the lid, and the beginning and end of the slide fastener are sewn into the band-shaped portion. This configuration improves the visibility of the side wall, allowing the stuffed animal to be seen through the side wall. Furthermore, since the beginning and end of the slide fastener can be hidden by sewing them into the opaque band-shaped portion, it is possible to prevent the slide fastener from deteriorating the appearance and texture. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0009] [Figure 1] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a pouch for storing a stuffed toy according to an embodiment. [Figure 2] 2 is a perspective view of the stuffed toy storage pouch of FIG. 1 with the cover portion opened and the reinforcing sheet removed. [Figure 3] FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the stuffed toy storage pouch of FIG. 1 with a stuffed toy stored therein. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0010] 1 to 3, stuffed toy storage pouch 10 according to this embodiment is formed in a rectangular parallelepiped shape with rounded corners. Stuffed toy storage pouch 10 is used by being attached to a user's baggage or the like with stuffed toy 12 stored in internal storage space 52.

[0011] The stuffed toy storage pouch 10 includes a window surface 14 (front surface), a lid surface 16 (back surface), a side wall 18, a slide fastener 20, and a pocket 22. The stuffed toy storage pouch 10 also includes a first peripheral joining portion 24, a second peripheral joining portion 26, a third joining portion 38, and a fourth joining portion 40 as joining portions of the above members.

[0012] The window surface portion 14 is located on the lower side in Fig. 1. The window surface portion 14 is formed from a transparent, flexible resin sheet such as polyvinyl chloride resin. The window surface portion 14 is formed in a rectangular shape with curved corners when viewed from a plane perpendicular to the window surface portion 14. The peripheral edge of the window surface portion 14 is sewn into the first peripheral joint portion 24.

[0013] The first peripheral joint 24 joins the side wall 18, the reinforcing wire 19, and the peripheral edge of the window surface 14. The first peripheral joint 24 has a band 24a that forms a seam allowance. The band 24a is made of, for example, polyester fabric or nylon fabric, and is opaque. The band 24a covers the end of the side wall 18, the end of the window surface 14, and the reinforcing wire 19 in a pipe shape, and is joined together using a method such as bag stitching.

[0014] The reinforcing wire 19 extends in a ring shape along the peripheral edge (circumferential direction) of the window surface portion 14. In the following description, the direction along the peripheral edge of the window surface portion 14 or the cover surface portion 16 is referred to as the circumferential direction. The reinforcing wire 19 is made of a hard resin material and is shaped so as to maintain a rectangular shape with curved corners when viewed from a direction perpendicular to the window surface portion 14. Furthermore, the reinforcing wire 19 pulls the resin sheet that makes up the window surface portion 14, thereby maintaining the resin sheet that makes up the window surface portion 14 in a wrinkle-free, flat shape.

[0015] The side wall 18 extends in a wall-like manner from the peripheral edge of the window surface 14 in a direction perpendicular to the window surface 14 (hereinafter referred to as the thickness direction). The side wall 18 has a transparent side wall 32 formed from a transparent resin sheet and a band-shaped portion 34 made of fabric. The band-shaped portion 34 is formed from an opaque fabric and is joined to a predetermined portion of the long side of the window surface 14. The circumferential (longitudinal) dimension B of the band-shaped portion 34 is shorter than the longitudinal dimension A of the stuffed animal storage pouch 10. The band-shaped portion 34 extends in the thickness direction while maintaining a constant width in the circumferential direction of the side wall 18. The front end of the band-shaped portion 34 is joined to the window surface 14 (front surface) at a first peripheral joint 24. The back end of the band-shaped portion 34 is joined to the lid surface 16 (rear surface) via a second peripheral joint 26. The upper end of the band-shaped portion 34 forms a hinge portion 28 that supports the cover surface portion 16 rotatably relative to the side wall portion 18.

[0016] The band-shaped portion 34 is formed in a substantially square shape when viewed perpendicularly to the band-shaped portion 34. If the circumferential dimension B of the band-shaped portion 34 is made small, sewing becomes difficult, reducing workability and reducing the strength of the stitched joint between the cover surface 16 and the side wall portion 18. Furthermore, if the circumferential dimension B of the band-shaped portion 34 is too small, the cover surface 16 will be easily twisted relative to the side wall portion 18, reducing the ease (comfort) of opening and closing the cover surface 16. On the other hand, if the circumferential dimension B of the band-shaped portion 34 is made too long, the visibility of the side wall portion 18 will be reduced. Therefore, it is preferable that the band-shaped portion 34 be formed in a substantially square shape with the circumferential dimension B and the thickness dimension C being approximately the same.

[0017] The stuffed animal storage pouch 10 can be made in, for example, large, medium, or small sizes. The large-size stuffed animal storage pouch 10 has a longitudinal dimension A of approximately 150 mm, and a thickness dimension C of the side wall 18 of approximately 80 mm. In this case, the circumferential (longitudinal) dimension B of the band-shaped portion 34 may be approximately 70 mm. The medium-size stuffed animal storage pouch 10 has a longitudinal dimension A of approximately 115 mm, and a thickness dimension C of the side wall 18 of approximately 60 mm. In this case, the circumferential (longitudinal) dimension B of the band-shaped portion 34 is approximately 55 mm. The small-size stuffed animal storage pouch 10 has a longitudinal dimension A of approximately 90 mm, a thickness dimension C of the side wall 18 of approximately 55 mm, and a circumferential (longitudinal) dimension B of the band-shaped portion 34 of approximately 44 mm.

[0018] The transparent side wall portion 32 is provided on the side wall portion 18 except for the band-shaped portion 34. The transparent side wall portion 32 is formed of a flexible, transparent resin sheet such as polyvinyl chloride resin. As shown in the figure, the transparent side wall portion 32 occupies most of the circumferential direction of the side wall portion 18, improving visibility of the interior. One thickness direction end of the transparent side wall portion 32 is joined to the window surface portion 14 via a first peripheral joint 24. The other thickness direction end of the transparent side wall portion 32 is joined to the first tape 36 of the slide fastener 20. One circumferential direction end of the transparent side wall portion 32 is sewn to the band-shaped portion 34 via a third joint 38, and the other circumferential direction end of the transparent side wall portion 32 is sewn to the band-shaped portion 34 via a fourth joint 40. The third joint 38 has the starting ends of the first tape 36 and the second tape 46 of the slide fastener 20 sewn thereto. Furthermore, the end portions of the first tape 36 and the second tape 46 are sewn into the fourth joint portion 40.

[0019] When the stuffed toy storage pouch 10 is closed, the lid surface 16 is arranged parallel to and facing the window surface 14. The lid surface 16 is formed in a rectangular shape with rounded corners in a plan view. The external shape and dimensions of the lid surface 16 in a plan view are the same as those of the window surface 14. The lid surface 16 is connected to the side wall 18 via a hinge portion 28.

[0020] A metal fitting connection part 42 is attached to a predetermined location on the periphery of the cover surface part 16. A strap 44 is connected to the metal fitting connection part 42, for example, in a circular shape. The stuffed animal storage pouch 10 is attached to the user's baggage or the like via the strap 44 and the metal fitting connection part 42. The metal fitting connection part 42 is provided adjacent to the cover surface part 16, and is therefore the part that comes into contact with the user's baggage or the like.

[0021] The lid portion 16 is formed from a transparent resin sheet that has the same flexibility as the window portion 14. However, since the lid portion 16 is the portion that comes into contact with the user's baggage, etc., it does not necessarily have to be entirely transparent. Therefore, the stuffed animal storage pouch 10 of this embodiment has a pocket portion 22 on the inside side of the lid portion 16.

[0022] The pocket portion 22 is formed by a pocket sheet 22a arranged to cover part of the inner surface of the lid surface portion 16. The pocket sheet 22a is made of the same fabric as the belt-shaped portion 34 and is opaque. The peripheral edge of the pocket sheet 22a is joined to the peripheral edge of the lid surface portion 16, except for an opening 22b. Thin items can be placed in and taken out of the pocket portion 22 through the opening 22b.

[0023] A transparent resin plate may be inserted in advance into the pocket portion 22 so that the user can customize the decoration by sticking stickers of their favorite characters on them.

[0024] The second peripheral joint 26 is provided along the periphery of the cover surface 16. The second peripheral joint 26 joins the cover surface 16, the pocket sheet 22a, the second tape 46 of the slide fastener 20, and the band-like portion 34 by sewing. The second peripheral joint 26 has a band cloth 26a that forms a seam allowance. The band cloth 26a is made of, for example, nylon fabric and is opaque. The band cloth 26a covers the ends of the cover surface 16, the pocket sheet 22a, the second tape 46, and the band-like portion 34 in a pipe shape, and is sewn together by a hollow stitch so as to hide the ends of the above-mentioned components.

[0025] The slide fastener 20 includes a first tape 36, a second tape 46, and a slider 48. The first tape 36 and the second tape 46 have elements 36a, 46a extending in the circumferential direction at their adjacent portions. The slider 48 connects the first tape 36 and the second tape 46 by sliding circumferentially along the elements 36a, 46a from the starting end toward the circumferential end, thereby closing the cover surface portion 16. The slider 48 also releases the connection between the first tape 36 and the second tape 46 by sliding circumferentially along the elements 36a, 46a from the circumferential end toward the starting end.

[0026] The slide fastener 20 is located at the rear end of the side wall 18. When the stuffed animal storage pouch 10 is viewed from the window 14 side, the wide slide fastener 20 extending in the circumferential direction is located on the rear side (lid 16) side. As a result, the stuffed animal storage pouch 10 allows a good view of the stuffed animal inside from the window 14 (front side) or the side wall 18 (side), allowing the user to more effectively show off their favorite character to those around them.

[0027] The stuffed animal storage pouch 10 may optionally include a reinforcing sheet 50, as shown in FIG. 2. The reinforcing sheet 50 is made of a hard resin plate material such as a transparent PET resin sheet. The reinforcing sheet 50 has engaging notches at one and the other circumferential ends. The reinforcing sheet 50 is a flexible, thin plate member disposed inside the side wall portion 18 and assembled into a ring shape. The side wall portion 18 has low rigidity compared to the window surface portion 14 and the lid surface portion 16, which are reinforced by the reinforcing wire 19, and easily buckles when pressed in the thickness direction. The reinforcing sheet 50 supports the side wall portion 18 from the inside, preventing buckling of the side wall portion 18. The reinforcing sheet 50 is removable and can be removed according to user preference. The reinforcing sheet 50 can also be used as a decorative plate to which users can attach decorative stickers according to their preferences. The reinforcing sheet 50 allows for customization of decorations to meet diverse user preferences.

[0028] The stuffed animal storage pouch 10 of this embodiment is configured as described above. The stuffed animal storage pouch 10 has the window surface portion 14 and the side wall portion 18 forming a storage space 52 that is highly visible from the outside.

[0029] When the first tape 36 and the second tape 46 are connected over the entire circumference by operating the slider 48, the storage space 52 formed by the window surface 14 and the side wall 18 is closed by the lid surface 16, as shown in Figure 3. This allows the stuffed animal storage pouch 10 to prevent the stuffed animal 12 stored in the storage space 52 from becoming soiled or damaged. Most of the stuffed animal storage pouch 10, excluding the band-shaped portion 34 of the side wall 18, is made of transparent side wall 32, which improves the visibility of the stored stuffed animal 12 from the outside.

[0030] Furthermore, in the stuffed toy storage pouch 10, one end and the other end in the circumferential direction of the slide fastener 20 are hidden by the band-like portion 34, so that deterioration of the appearance and texture due to the slide fastener 20 can be prevented.
