Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to storage devices and mounting devices. [Background technology]

[0002] In recent years, sensing of physical information has been carried out by attaching sensors to the human body. Patent Document 1 describes a pocket with a lid that can store such a sensor, which is attached to a band and worn on the body by the band. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2022-053394 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, in related sensor storage devices, the attachment part, such as a belt for attaching to the body, and the pocket part for storing the sensor are integrated, so when attaching the attachment part to the body, the user must adjust the position of the attachment part while paying attention to the relative positions of the body and the sensor, and then wear the storage device.

[0005] Furthermore, in related sensor storage devices, when inserting or removing a sensor, the pocket portion must be opened together with the flap, which can make it difficult to insert or remove the sensor. Therefore, there has been a demand for a storage device that allows a user to easily insert or remove an object into or from the pocket portion of the storage device, and that prevents the object from flying out of the pocket portion when the user does not intend.

[0006] The present disclosure provides a storage device and attachment device that makes it easy for users to store objects and prevents the objects from unintentionally flying out from the stored state. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The storage device according to the present disclosure is a storage device that can be attached to a belt worn by a user while storing an object to be stored, and comprises a base, a main body made of a stretchable mesh material, a storage section that is the space between the back surface of the main body and the surface of the base and is capable of storing the object to be stored, a pocket section having a storage opening for allowing the object to be placed in and removed from the storage section, and a lid section that has a hook-and-loop fastener and serves as a lid for the storage opening of the storage section, and the hook-and-loop fastener of the lid section is attached and detached directly to the main body section of the pocket section to switch between open and closed states. This allows the pocket portion to shrink to fit the shape of the item to be stored, and the storage opening of the pocket portion is protected by a lid portion with a hook-and-loop fastener that can be attached and detached to the mesh surface of the pocket portion, preventing the item from falling out.

[0008] In addition, the wearing device according to the present disclosure comprises a belt worn by a user and a storage device that can be attached to the belt with an object to be stored stored in it, the storage device comprising a base, a main body made of a stretchable mesh material, a storage section that is a space between the back surface of the main body and the surface of the base and is capable of storing the object to be stored, a pocket portion having a storage opening for allowing the object to be put in and taken out of the storage section, and a lid portion that has a hook-and-loop fastener and serves as a lid for the storage opening of the storage section, the hook-and-loop fastener of the lid portion being attached and detached directly to the main body portion of the pocket portion to switch between an open and closed state. This allows the pocket portion to shrink to fit the shape of the item to be stored, and the storage opening of the pocket portion is protected by a lid portion with a hook-and-loop fastener that can be attached and detached to the mesh surface of the pocket portion, preventing the item from falling out. [Effects of the Invention]

[0009] According to the present disclosure, it is possible to provide a storage device and attachment device that makes it easy for users to store objects and prevents the objects from unintentionally flying out from the stored state. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[Figure 2] 1A and 1B are a plan view and a side view showing the configuration of a storage device according to a first embodiment. [Figure 3] FIG. 2 is a front view of the base according to the first embodiment. [Figure 4] FIG. 2 is a front view of a pocket portion according to the first embodiment. [Figure 5] FIG. 2 is a front view of the lid according to the first embodiment. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0011] Embodiment 1 Hereinafter, a storage device according to this embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. In the following, the storage device 1 will be described as storing a sensor 2 as an object to be stored.

[0012] 1, the sensor 2 is assumed to be a rectangular parallelepiped having a predetermined length in the vertical and horizontal directions, thin in the front and back directions, and to have a light-emitting unit 2a provided near the end of a predetermined surface. Here, the light-emitting unit 2a is assumed to be provided below the surface of the sensor 2. The light-emitting unit 2a of the sensor 2 is assumed to emit LED light.

[0013] Typically, the sensor 2 is attached to the user's body while stored in the storage device 1, and acquires the user's movements. For example, the sensor 2 is an acceleration sensor, an angular velocity sensor, an inertial sensor, etc., but is not limited to these. Furthermore, the sensor 2 is not limited to sensors that acquire the user's movements, and may also acquire vital signs.

[0014] As will be described later, the storage device 1 is used in combination with a belt (not shown) worn by the user. Therefore, the storage device 1 and the belt can be used as a single wearing device.

[0015] Fig. 2(a) is a front view showing an example of the configuration of storage device 1, and Fig. 2(b) is a side view showing an example of the configuration of storage device 1. Storage device 1 includes a base 11 arranged on the user's body side, a pocket portion 12 provided on base portion 11, and a lid portion 13 that covers a storage opening 12c for inserting and removing sensor 2 into storage portion 12b of pocket portion 12. As shown in Figs. 2(a) and 2(b), storage device 1 will be described as having an overall length of approximately 80 mm in the vertical direction and approximately 40 mm in the horizontal direction, but these lengths can be changed as appropriate.

[0016] For simplicity of explanation, the following description will be given with the direction in which the storage opening 12c in the pocket 12 is provided as the upside, as shown in Fig. 2(a). The side on which the pocket 12 is provided with respect to the base 11 will be described as the front side. In other words, when the storage device 1 is attached to a belt worn by a user, the side facing the user is the back side of the storage device 1.

[0017] 3 is a front view showing the base 11. The base 11 is approximately 80 mm in the vertical direction and approximately 40 mm in the horizontal direction, and is formed to be thin in both the front and back directions.

[0018] As shown in Figure 2(b), the base 11 has a two-layer structure consisting of a first layer 11a on the front side and a second layer 11b on the back side of the first layer 11a. The first layer 11a on the front side is made of nylon and is a hook-and-loop surface in which a loop is made and then a subsequent thread is hooked onto the loop to make a continuous loop, forming a surface. The second layer 11b on the back side is a hook-and-loop surface in which a hook-and-loop fastener is attached to the back side, which faces the user's body.

[0019] 3, the base 11 has a wide portion 11c that is formed with a width in the left-right direction of about 40 mm, and a protruding portion 11d that is formed near the bottom end and protrudes downward from the wide portion 11c and is formed short in the left-right direction. For example, the length of the protruding portion 11d in the left-right direction is about 10 mm, and it is provided so as to be aligned with the center in the left-right direction relative to the wide portion 11c.

[0020] The second layer 11b is provided on the wide portion 11c, and is not provided on the back side of the protruding portion 11d. In other words, no hook-and-loop fastener is provided on the back side of the base 11 at the location of the protruding portion 11d.

[0021] Here, the hook and loop fastener provided on the back side of the second layer 11b is intended to be attached to and detached from the hook and loop fastener provided on the surface of the belt worn by the user.

[0022] For example, the belt worn by the user may be worn so as to wrap around the waist, arms, or legs, or may be a suspender type belt worn around the waist with both ends connected to it and placed over the user's shoulders. In other words, the belt worn by the user only needs to be placed in a location where the storage device 1 can be attached, and the position and shape can be changed as appropriate.

[0023] In this way, even if the hook-and-loop fastener of the second layer 11b provided on the wide portion 11c is attached to the hook-and-loop fastener of the belt worn by the user, the protruding portion 11d does not have a hook-and-loop fastener and is therefore not attached to the hook-and-loop fastener of the belt. Therefore, when the user wants to attach or detach the storage tool 1 from the belt, the protruding portion 11d is in a state where the user can easily grasp it.

[0024] At each of the left and right ends of the wide portion 11c, a notch 11e is formed at a position a predetermined distance from the upper end, and a notch 11f is formed at a position a predetermined distance from the lower side. For example, the notch 11e is formed at both the left and right ends of the wide portion 11c at a position about 20 mm from the upper end, by cutting out about 3 mm inward in the left-right direction. The notch 11f is also formed by cutting out about 3 mm inward in the left-right direction.

[0025] A mark 11g is provided at a predetermined location on the surface of the wide portion 11c. This mark 11g may be a protrusion, a recess, or a different color from other locations, and the type of mark can be changed as appropriate. Here, the mark 11g is described as being provided near the bottom of the wide portion 11c. As will be described later, this mark 11g indicates the orientation in which the storage target portion is stored when the sensor 2 is stored in the storage portion 12b of the pocket portion 12.

[0026] Pocket portion 12 is typically made of a nylon mesh material. Fig. 4 is an example of a front view showing pocket portion 12 from the front side before it is attached to base portion 11. More specifically, pocket portion 12 has main body portion 12a which is a stretchable mesh, storage portion 12b which is a space between the back surface of main body portion 12a and the surface of base portion 11 and is a space capable of storing sensor 2, and storage opening 12c which is an entrance / exit for sensor 2 to enter and exit storage portion 12b.

[0027] 4, the upper end of the pocket portion 12 is formed to be shorter than the lower end before it is attached to the base portion 11. For example, the upper end of the pocket portion 12 is formed to be about 60 mm long in the left-right direction, and the lower end is formed to be about 65 mm long in the left-right direction, for a total length of about 60 mm in the up-down direction.

[0028] Furthermore, at each of the left and right ends of the pocket portion 12, a notch portion 12d is formed at a position a predetermined distance away from the upper end.

[0029] The pocket 12 is disposed on the surface side of the base 11. Here, the bottom edge and left and right edges of the main body 12a of the pocket 12 are adhered to the base 11. As a result, a bag-shaped storage section 12b is formed between the back surface of the main body 12a of the pocket 12 and the surface of the base 11.

[0030] Here, when pocket portion 12 is attached to base portion 11, the position of the lower end of pocket portion 12 is aligned with and fixed to notch portion 11f provided in wide portion 11c of base portion 11. Also, notch portion 12d provided in pocket portion 12 is aligned with notch portion 11e provided in wide portion 11c of the base.

[0031] The storage opening 12c is the upper end of the main body 12a. The first layer 11a of the base 11 is not bonded to the storage opening 12c, leaving the storage opening 12c open. This allows the sensor 2 to enter and exit the storage section 12b through the storage opening 12c.

[0032] Here, the vertical and horizontal lengths of storage section 12b are greater than the vertical and horizontal lengths of rectangular parallelepiped sensor 2 (see FIG. 5) to be stored, and the thickness is approximately flat. Note that, because main body 12a is made of stretchable nylon, main body 12a stretches when sensor 2 is inserted, making it easy to store sensor 2 in storage section 12b.

[0033] Furthermore, since the main body 12a of the pocket 12 is made of nylon mesh, the main body 12a of the pocket 12 is transparent when viewed from the front side of the pocket 12. Therefore, the user can visually check the state of the sensor 2 stored in the storage section 12b from the front side of the main body 12a.

[0034] Note that main body 12a contracts when sensor 2 is stored. That is, in pocket 12, when sensor 2 is stored in storage section 12b, main body 12a contracts, thereby pressing down and fixing sensor 2.

[0035] On the other hand, the storage opening 12c has a different contraction rate from that of the main body 12a. More specifically, when the user widens the storage opening 12c, the size of the storage opening 12c is large enough for the sensor 2 to pass through, but when the storage opening 12c is not widened, the size is slightly smaller than the side surface of the sensor 2 and the sensor 2 cannot pass through.

[0036] The storage opening 12c can be formed by folding and sewing to prevent fraying and for reinforcement. This makes the storage opening 12c less stretchable than the mesh of the main body 12a, making it less likely for the sensor 2 to jump out of the storage opening 12c. Furthermore, a material different from that of the main body 12a can be used for the storage opening 12c to adjust the stretchability, and for example, rubber can be used.

[0037] A hook-and-loop fastener provided on the back side of a second layer 13b of lid 13 (described later) can be attached and detached to the surface of main body 12a of pocket 12. In other words, even when lid 13 is in the closed state (described later), the hook-and-loop fastener of lid 13 can be attached to the surface of main body 12a of pocket 12 without providing a new hook-and-loop fastener on the surface of main body 12a of pocket 12.

[0038] Fig. 5 is an example of a front view of the lid 13 before it is placed on the front side of the base 11. As shown in Fig. 2(b), the lid 13 has a two-layer structure in which a first layer 13a is placed on the front side and a second layer 13b is placed on the back side of the first layer 13a. The first layer 13a placed on the front side is made of nylon and has a fastener loop surface, similar to the first layer 11a of the base 11. The second layer 13b placed on the back side has a fastener hook surface, similar to the second layer 11b of the base 11, with a hook-and-loop fastener provided on the back side facing the user's body.

[0039] Returning to FIG. 5, the cover 13 is approximately rectangular parallelepiped, approximately 25 mm long in the vertical direction and approximately 25 mm long in the horizontal direction, and is thin in both the front and back directions.

[0040] The back surface of the lid 13 near the top end and the surface of the base 11 near the top end are bonded together in a long line in the left-right direction. This allows the lower end of the lid 13 to move around the axis at the point where the upper end of the lid 13 is bonded to the upper end of the base 11. In other words, the lid 13 can be placed in either an open state where its lower end is separated from the pocket 12 arranged on the base 11, or a closed state where its lower end is in contact with the surface of the pocket 12.

[0041] In addition, FIG. 2(b) shows a state in which the rear surface of the lid portion 13 near the upper end and the surface of the base portion 11 near the upper end are not bonded together.

[0042] When the lid portion 13 is in the open state, the storage opening 12c of the pocket portion 12 is not blocked by the lid portion 13, and therefore the sensor 2 can be stored in or removed from the storage portion 12b.

[0043] On the other hand, when the lid 13 is in the closed state, the hook-and-loop fastener provided on the rear surface near the bottom end of the lid 13 comes into contact with the surface of the main body 12a. At this time, the surface of the pocket 12 acts as a hook-and-loop fastener corresponding to the hook-and-loop fastener provided on the rear surface of the lid 13, and they are adhered to each other.

[0044] That is, when lid 13 is in the closed state, storage opening 12c is covered by lid 13, so sensor 2 stored in storage opening 12b can be prevented from flying out through storage opening 12c. At this time, the hook-and-loop fastener on the back side of lid 13 is attached to main body 12a, so lid 13 will not be opened unintentionally.

[0045] Next, we will explain an example of the procedure for using the storage device 1. In the initial state, the storage device 1 is not attached to a belt worn on the body.

[0046] First, the sensor 2 is stored in the storage device 1. At this time, the lid 13 can be in an open state, and the user can easily store the sensor 2 in the storage section 12b of the pocket 12. At this time, the user stores the sensor 2 in the storage section 12b so that the position of the mark 11g provided on the base 11 and the position of the light-emitting section 2a of the sensor 2 are aligned.

[0047] The main body 12a is made of a mesh material, so that when the user places the sensor 2 in the storage section 12b, the main body 12a stretches, making it easier for the user to place the sensor 2 in the storage section 12b.

[0048] Furthermore, because the main body 12a is made of a mesh material, when the LED light is emitted from the light-emitting unit 2a of the sensor 2, this light passes through the main body 12a. Therefore, the user can easily check the orientation of the sensor 2 from outside the main body 12a. In other words, the user can easily check whether the position of the light-emitting unit 2a at a predetermined corner of the sensor 2 is aligned with the position of the mark 11g provided on the base 11.

[0049] Thereafter, the user changes the cover 13 from the open state to the closed state, that is, the hook-and-loop fastener on the back surface of the cover 13 is attached to the surface of the main body 12a.

[0050] At this time, the storage device 1 is contracted so that the storage opening 12c is smaller than the size of the side surface of the sensor 2.

[0051] Furthermore, the storage opening 12c is closed by closing the lid 13. At this time, the hook-and-loop fastener on the back surface of the lid 13 is attached to the surface of the main body 12a of the pocket 12 when the lid 13 is closed, so the lid 13 will not open unintentionally.

[0052] Furthermore, in storage device 1, after storing sensor 2, main body 12a contracts, fixing sensor 2 within storage section 12b. As a result, in storage device 1, the contraction force of main body 12a prevents sensor 2 from jumping out of storage section 12b.

[0053] For these reasons, in the storage device 1, when the sensor 2 is stored in the storage section 12b, the sensor 2 is prevented from unintentionally jumping out of the storage section 12b.

[0054] The user then attaches the storage device 1 together with the stored sensor 2 to any position on the belt they are wearing. That is, the hook-and-loop fastener on the back of the base 11 of the storage device 1 can be attached to the belt they are wearing. This allows the storage device 1 to be worn while adjusting the sensor 2 to any position, direction, or angle relative to the user's body.

[0055] When the user wants to remove the storage tool 1 from the belt that the user is wearing, the user can easily remove it by grasping the protrusion 11d provided on the base 11.

[0056] That is, if the entire back surface of storage device 1 is attached to the belt with a hook-and-loop fastener, there is no place to grab to remove storage device 1. In contrast, protrusion 11d of storage device 1 does not have a hook-and-loop fastener, so protrusion 11d is not attached to the belt. When a user grabs protrusion 11d and applies force, storage device 1 can be easily peeled off from the belt.

[0057] After removing the storage device 1 from the belt, the user can open the lid 13 and easily remove the sensor 2 from the storage section 12b. At this time, the user can easily remove the sensor 2 from the storage section 12b by sufficiently stretching the storage opening 12c, which is formed with low elasticity, and passing the sensor 2 through the storage opening 12c.

[0058] As described above, in the storage device 1, the sensor 2 can be easily put in and taken out of the storage section 12b, and the sensor 2 can be prevented from jumping out of the storage section 12b.

[0059] The mesh material of the main body 12a of the pocket 12 can be directly attached to and detached from a hook-and-loop fastener provided on the back surface of the lid 13. Therefore, there is no need to provide a hook-and-loop fastener on the front surface of the main body 12a that pairs with the back surface of the lid 13, and the open / closed state of the lid 13 can be switched by directly attaching and detaching the hook-and-loop fastener to and from the main body 12a of the pocket 12.

[0060] Furthermore, since there is no need to provide a hook-and-loop fastener on the main body 12a of the pocket 12, it is possible to reduce the thickness of the storage device 1 in the front-to-back direction. Therefore, even when the storage device 1 is attached to the user's belt, it is not bulky and does not interfere with the user's movements.

[0061] Furthermore, main body 12a of pocket 12 can contract to fit the shape of the object to be stored, such as sensor 2, and even when main body 12a is deformed in this way, it attaches to the hook-and-loop fastener of lid 13 at an appropriate position on the mesh surface. In other words, because the hook-and-loop fastener of lid 13 attaches appropriately to a position according to the deformation of main body 12a, lid 13 is less likely to be opened unintentionally, and the object to be stored is less likely to fall out of storage section 12b.

[0062] Furthermore, the surface of the sensor 2 is provided with a light-emitting portion 2a that indicates the front, back, and orientation of the sensor 2, and a corresponding mark 11g is provided on the wide portion 11c of the base 11 of the storage device 1. Therefore, by noticing these marks 11g and light-emitting portion 2a, the user can store the sensor 2 in the appropriate orientation within the storage section 12b of the storage device 1.

[0063] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be appropriately modified without departing from the spirit of the present invention. In other words, the above description has been omitted or simplified as appropriate for the sake of clarity, and a person skilled in the art can easily modify, add, or convert each element of the embodiment within the scope of the present invention.

[0064] For example, although the sensor 2 has been described as being provided with the light-emitting unit 2a, it is not limited to light-emitting elements and may be a predetermined mark. For example, similar to the mark 11g provided on the base 11, it can be modified as appropriate by providing a protrusion, a recess, or a color different from other parts.

[0065] The position of the light-emitting unit 2a is not limited to the position shown in Fig. 1. Similarly, the position of the mark 11g provided on the base 11 is not limited to the position shown in Fig. 2(a) and can be changed as desired. The mark 11g can also be provided on the pocket portion 12 instead of on the base 11. [Explanation of symbols]
