[0003] [Non-Patent Document 1] CAMP HACK Editorial Department, “30 Recommended Peg Cases for 2024!”, [online], 2024 / 04 / 22, CAMP HACK Editorial Department, [Retrieved June 10, 2024], Internet<https: / / camphack.nap-camp.com / 4267#content_7> Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0004] Pegs are inserted into the ground, and after being removed from the ground, they are covered in soil. If they are placed in a peg case with soil still attached, the case will become dirty. For this reason, to prevent the peg case from becoming dirty, users wash each peg in the kitchen or other places before storing them back in the case. However, washing each peg individually is a time-consuming process.
[0005] Even if you store the cleaned pegs in a peg case, the peg case will accumulate dirt and dust after repeated use, making it difficult to keep the peg case clean for a long time.Furthermore, if you put the cleaned pegs in the peg case before they dry, the peg case will get wet, and when you load it into a car, water will drip into the car.
[0006] To provide an article storage case that can store articles such as these pegs, can wash the articles collectively, can keep them clean, and can prevent water from leaking out. [Means for solving the problem]
[0007] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides an item storage case that has an opening through which items can be put in and taken out and that can store multiple items inside, and that has a double structure consisting of a bottom mesh portion made of mesh fabric and a bottom outer covering portion that covers the bottom mesh portion from the outside and is made of fabric other than mesh fabric, and that has a bottom portion between the bottom outer covering portion and the bottom mesh portion in which a storage portion is formed that allows items to be put in and taken out from the outside.
[0008] The bottom covering preferably comprises a waterproof material.
[0009] It is preferable that the bag comprises two side portions extending continuously from the bottom mesh portion and facing each other, a handle portion attached to the bottom outer cover portion, and a holding portion provided on the side portions and capable of holding the handle portion, and that in a holding state in which the holding portion holds the handle portion, the storage portion is closed, and in a non-holding state in which the holding portion does not hold the handle portion, items can be put in and taken out of the storage portion from the outside.
[0010] It is preferable that a buckle is attached to the holding portion, and the holding portion can be placed in the holding state and the non-holding state by opening and closing the buckle.
[0011] It is preferable that the container has an end surface portion joined to one end of each of the two side surfaces and one end of the bottom surface portion, and an end surface portion joined to the other end of each of the two side surfaces and the other end of the bottom surface portion, and that reinforcing material is arranged at the joint between the end surface portion and the side surface portion and the joint between the end surface portion and the bottom surface portion in each of the end surface portions.
[0012] It is preferable that the bag further comprises a fastener attached to the opening defined by the upper edges of the two side surface portions and the upper edges of the two end surface portions, and that the opening can be opened and closed by the fastener. [Effects of the Invention]
[0013] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide an item storage case that allows items to be washed collectively, can be kept clean, and can prevent water from leaking out. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[Figure 4] 1 is a perspective view showing a state in which an opening 5 provided in the top and a storage section 6 provided in the bottom section 4 of a peg case 1 are open. [Figure 5] FIG. 2 is an exploded view of the peg case 1 excluding the fastener 9 portion. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0015] Hereinafter, a peg case 1 will be described with reference to the drawings as an example of an item storage case according to an embodiment of the present invention. However, the item storage case according to the present invention is not limited to the peg case 1 and may be a cutlery case, a tableware case, or the like. FIG. 1 is a view of the peg case 1 as seen from one side in the width direction W along the length direction L. FIG. 2 is a view of the peg case 1 as seen from one side in the length direction L along the width direction W. FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the peg case 1 with the opening 5 provided at the top open. FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the peg case 1 with the opening 5 provided at the top and the storage section 6 provided in the bottom section 4 open. FIG. 5 is an exploded view of the peg case 1 excluding the fastener 9 portion.
[0016] Peg case 1 includes two side surfaces 2 extending in the length direction L and facing each other in the width direction W, two end surfaces 3 extending in the width direction W and facing each other in the length direction L, and a bottom surface 4 disposed below the two side surfaces 2 and the two end surfaces 3. As shown in FIG. 3 , peg case 1 includes two side surfaces 2, two end surfaces 3, and one bottom surface 4, forming a container having an opening 5 at the top and capable of storing a plurality of pegs P therein. As an example, peg case 1 in this embodiment has dimensions of approximately 420 mm in the length direction L, approximately 140 mm in the height direction, and approximately 135 mm in the width direction W, but the present invention is not limited thereto.
[0017] (Bottom part 4) The bottom portion 4 is rectangular and, as can be seen most clearly in Figure 5, has a double structure consisting of a bottom mesh portion 41 made of mesh fabric and a bottom outer covering portion 42 made of fabric other than mesh fabric and covering the bottom mesh portion 41 from the outside.
[0018] The bottom mesh portion 41 is preferably, but not limited to, made of a durable mesh fabric with thick threads that is impermeable to water. The bottom outer cover portion 42 is preferably, but not limited to, made of two layers of fabric 42b made of waterproof fabric such as tarpaulin, with an approximately 5 mm thick EPE core material 42a inserted between the layers 42b, as shown in Figure 5. By providing the core material 42a in the bottom outer cover portion 42 of the peg case 1, the peg case 1 is less likely to lose its shape and its strength is improved, making it less likely to tear even when heavy pegs P are placed inside.
[0019] As shown in Figure 4, the bottom outer covering portion 42 and the bottom mesh portion 41 are not joined in the longitudinal direction L, and a storage section 6 is formed in the gap between the bottom outer covering portion 42 and the bottom mesh portion 41, where items can be put in and taken out from the outside.
[0020] (Handle part 7) A handle portion 7 is attached to each of the side portions extending in the length direction L on both sides in the width direction W of the bottom surface outer covering portion 42 of the bottom surface portion 4. The two handle portions 7 are made of strip-shaped members, and one end and the other end are each fixed to the side portion of the bottom surface outer covering portion 42 in a U-shape.
[0021] (Side part 2) Each of the two side sections 2 is rectangular and extends upward continuously from the long side of the bottom mesh section 41 of the bottom section 4. The side section 2 is a single member with the bottom mesh section 41 of the bottom section 4, and includes a side mesh section 21 extending integrally and continuously from the bottom mesh section 41, and a side non-mesh section 22 joined to the side mesh section 21 and extending further upward. However, the side section 2 may be made entirely of mesh fabric without the side non-mesh section 22. Since the side mesh section 21 is a single member with the bottom mesh section 41 of the bottom section 4, it is made of the same material. The side non-mesh section 22 is preferably made of a waterproof fabric such as tarpaulin. In this embodiment, the height dimension of the side mesh section 21 and the side non-mesh section 22 is each 70 mm, but the present invention is not limited to this.
[0022] (End face part 3) The end surface portions 3 are generally rectangular or have a U-shaped periphery and are made of waterproof fabric such as tarpaulin. The end surface portions 3 are arranged on both sides in the longitudinal direction L, and include an end surface portion 3 joined to one end of the two side surface portions 2 and one end of the bottom surface portion 4, and an end surface portion 3 joined to the other end of the two side surface portions 2 and the other end of the bottom surface portion 4, with the two end surface portions 3 facing each other.
[0023] In this embodiment, the end surface portions 3 have a double structure in which two pieces of fabric are overlapped, as shown in Figure 5. The end surface portions 3 are joined to the two side surface portions 2 and the bottom surface portion 4 by sewing. When sewing the end surface portions 3 to the two side surface portions 2 and the bottom surface portion 4, the two overlapping pieces of fabric are also sewn together. Piping is applied to the sewn seam allowance. The piping is formed on the outer surface side.
[0024] A reinforcing material such as a wire is inserted along the outer periphery of the end surface portion 3 at the seam between the end surface portion 3 and the side surface portion 2 and at the seam between the end surface portion 3 and the bottom surface portion 4.
[0025] (Opening 5) The upper sides of the two side surface portions 2 and the upper sides of the two end surface portions 3 define the outer periphery of the opening 5. The opening 5 is rectangular when open. A fastener 9 is attached to the outer periphery of the opening 5 together with, for example, a 25 mm wide PP tape, and the opening 5 can be opened and closed by the fastener 9.
[0026] (Holding part 8) A retaining portion 8 extending in the length direction L is attached to each of the side non-mesh portions 22 of the two side portions 2. Each retaining portion 8 is a strip-shaped member, for example, a 10 mm wide PP tape, with plug-in buckles 81 attached to both ends. That is, a total of four buckles 81 are attached. Each buckle 81 has a claw portion 81a and a plug-in portion 81b.
[0027] When the handle portion 7 is sandwiched between the buckle 81 and the side surface portion 2 and the claw portion 81a is inserted into the insertion portion 81b, the handle portion 7 is placed in a held state in which it is held by the holding portion 8. When the claw portion 81a is removed from the insertion portion 81b from the state in which the handle portion 7 is held by the holding portion 8 and the handle portion 7 is taken out from between the buckle 81 and the side surface portion 2, the handle portion 7 is placed in an unheld state in which it is not held by the holding portion 8.
[0028] In this embodiment, the buckle 81 is used as the structure for holding the handle 7 by the holder 8, but this is not limitative, and a snap button or the like may also be used as the structure for holding the handle 7 by the holder 8.
[0029] (Storage compartment 6) The gap between the bottom outer covering portion 42 and the bottom mesh portion 41 forms the storage portion 6, into which items can be put in and taken out from the outside. In a holding state where the handle portion 7 is held by the holding portion 8, the storage portion 6 is closed, and in a non-holding state where the handle portion 7 is not held by the holding portion 8, items can be put in and taken out of the storage portion 6 from the outside.
[0030] (Effects of the peg case 1 of the embodiment) When pegs P are used to secure tents or the like, the pegs P are inserted into the ground. Therefore, after the pegs P are removed from the ground, soil adheres to the pegs P. If soiled pegs P are placed in the peg case 1 as is, the peg case 1 will become dirty. For this reason, it is preferable to wash the pegs P before storing them in the peg case 1. However, washing each peg P one by one is a hassle.
[0031] Therefore, in this embodiment, multiple pegs P are placed in the peg case 1. In this state, cleaning water is poured into the peg case 1 through the opening 5. The bottom portion 4 of the peg case 1 has a double structure consisting of a bottom outer covering portion 42 and a bottom mesh portion 41, and the bottom outer covering portion 42 and the bottom mesh portion 41 are not joined in the length direction L. Therefore, the water after cleaning, together with the mud adhering to the pegs P, passes through the bottom mesh portion 41 and flows out through the gap between the bottom outer covering portion 42 and the bottom mesh portion 41.
[0032] This allows the pegs P to be washed together with the peg case 1 while they are still stored in the peg case 1. Therefore, there is no need to wash the pegs P one by one, and they can be washed together, making it easier to clean the pegs P. Furthermore, since the peg case 1 itself is washed, it is possible to keep the peg case 1 clean. Furthermore, since the side portion 2 is provided with the side mesh portion 21, it is highly breathable, reducing the possibility of rust occurring on the pegs P stored inside.
[0033] After washing, the water flows out through the gap between the bottom outer cover part 42 and the bottom mesh part 41 along with the mud adhering to the pegs P through the bottom mesh part 41, but water may still adhere to the pegs P. However, in this embodiment, when the handle part 7 is not held by the holding part 8 as shown in Fig. 3, by placing a moisture absorbent member 10 such as a towel in the storage part 6, which is the gap between the bottom outer cover part 42 and the bottom mesh part 41 as shown in Fig. 4, it is possible to wipe away moisture between the bottom mesh part 41 and the bottom and to absorb water dripping from the pegs P.
[0034] As a result, even if the peg case 1 containing pegs P that are still wet is loaded into the trunk of a car or the like, the moisture leaking out through the bottom mesh portion 41 can be absorbed by the moisture absorbing member 10 arranged in the holding portion 8. Furthermore, even if the moisture absorbing member 10 gets wet, the moisture will not leak out because the waterproof bottom outer covering portion 42 is arranged. Therefore, water will not leak into the car, and the interior of the car can be kept clean. Therefore, you can return home from the campsite without waiting for the pegs P to completely dry, and you can completely drain the pegs P while you are returning home. Furthermore, if the item storage case is a dish case or the like, you can wash used dishes and dirty utensils and then put them in the case to dry immediately. [Explanation of symbols]
