Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] To provide a tidying tool designed to fit closely to the body. [Background technology]

[0002] There were no organizers that fit snugly against the body, so it was easy to shake around. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] · Organizer bags that fit snugly against the body, bags that fit snugly against the body → 0 results for both · Search for wallets that fit cell phones and wallets with cell phones → 0 results for both ·Search for mobile phone and wallet → 0 results ·Search for bottom → 2 results · Search for waist pouch and lid → 15 results · Search for bottoms and pouches → 572 results ·Wallet and pocket search → 462 results Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] This has caused the following problems: (i) I have a wallet that can hold cards and a separate one for my smartphone, but both are essentials, so I wanted to keep them together. b) I wanted to always have the essentials with me in case of a sudden disaster. C) I wanted to be prepared to escape from dangerous places at any time. d) Even if bags or backpacks could be worn, they were not compact and fit snugly against the body. E) Having a separate pocket for a smartphone was inconvenient.

[0005] When the three surfaces of the front, bottom, and back, which are three-dimensional shapes created by folding one or two places in the direction of the short axis of a rectangular sheet and whose respective long axis lengths are related to each other, are considered as one unit, multiple parts of the one unit form multiple U-shaped or V-shaped depressions by, for example, arranging the sides of the sheets in parallel on the depth side, or by overlapping the large and small bottom parts vertically above and below, or by joining one end of multiple sheets together, and a central space is formed between two sheets, either the same sheet or connected like the same sheet, at approximately the middle point on the depth side and reaching a higher position than the other, and the two sheets that form the central space are brought close together to form a lid.

[0006] -You can now run away with your valuables while wearing it. -It is now easier to create multiple depressions. -You can now use cards and money while wearing it on your clothes like a pocket. -A base mat can be inserted to create a sturdy bottom. -You can now hide the location of your valuables by changing the way you wear your clothes. -It fits snugly against the body, so I no longer feel like I'm wearing it. -It is now possible to sew multiple sheets on the left and right sides at the same time, making it possible to quickly make the main body and pocket parts. Simply place your smartphone inside the grooved pocket and it will no longer fall out due to abdominal pressure, even without a lid. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0007] [Figure 1] FIG. [Figure 2] Unfinished side view. [Figure 3] Unfinished side view. [Figure 4] Unfinished side view. [Figure 5] This is a perspective view and a usage diagram. [Figure 6] FIG. [Figure 7] FIG. [Figure 8]Plan view and perspective view. [Figure 9] This is a perspective view and a usage diagram. [Figure 10] FIG. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Example]

[0008] Figure 1a is a perspective view showing the folding point of the sheet with a dashed line (1), and Figure 1b shows the shape of a single unit (5) when the previous figure (a) is folded into a three-dimensional form, with the left side of the figure being the front. Figure 2 shows how the depressions (7) appear when a three-sided unit consisting of a front (3), bottom (2), and back (4) is considered as one unit. There are multiple U-shaped or V-shaped depressions. a) is when several bottom surfaces are parallel to one another on the same horizontal plane, b is when multiple units are stacked, and c is when several sheets are bundled together in a V shape. The sheets are connected by wrapping the bottoms of the front and back surfaces at two or more points. The spacing between the sheets is not necessarily uniform, and they may be tightly attached. The outer shell (6) and lining may not necessarily be drawn. The recess in the center of the depth side (9) is the central space (8). The drawings are simplified for convenience. The front, bottom, and rear parts of each sheet, as well as the depth and outer shell that will eventually form the side parts, are not necessarily of the same type or quality. The shape of the bottom part depends on the dimensions of the sides, the width, and whether or not there is a bottom liner.

[0009] In Figure 3a, from left to right, there is the outer shell (6), the front shell (3), the highest main sheet (10), the back shell (4), and the outer shell. The outer shell is connected to the main body in some way. With the left side as the front, and the locations of the highest main sheets shown, including the outer shell, a are the third and fourth from the front. b is the third from the front, and c is the third from the front. This is a diagram of a single sheet folded into a ring (13), doubled up, and wrapped around the bottom, extending to the top of the front. Since it is doubled, the highest sheet can also be said to be the fourth from the front. Regarding the rear shell, you can double it up to the front as described above, and then slightly fold back the top edge to create a border, or you can leave the opposite front side separate and increase the number of sheets. If there is a bottom liner (12) on the bottom, the shape of the bottom is properly determined, but if there is no bottom liner, the bottom may be pulled by the sides due to the expansion of the contents, making it difficult to determine the width. The presence of a bottom liner can also be a nuisance due to its close contact with the body. If the sheets sandwiching the central section are the main sheet (10) and the sub-sheet (11), the main sheet and the sub-sheet of the second height create a central space (8).

[0010] Starting from Figure 4, we will proceed by limiting the shapes to those that overlap vertically. In case a, the central space (8) is made of the same highest sheet, and fasteners (14) are attached to the top end of the main sheet (10), with these two points forming a lid (15). In case b, flexible adhesive (16) is attached to the opposing points between the main and secondary sheets, and the main sheet is placed over the secondary sheet (11) and joined with the flexible adhesive, and they both descend toward the bottom, narrowing the central space and forming this part into a lid. In case c, a first fastener (17) such as a magnet or snap is attached to the inside tip of the main sheet, and a second fastener corresponding to the first fastener is attached near the top front of the front part (3). It is easier to insert your hand if the shape of the top end of the front part is concave downward rather than straight. Figure d is a three-dimensional view of the case with the lid open, showing three horizontal lines from the top: the main sheet, the wavy secondary sheet, and the front surface. The outer frame of this drawing is the planned location of the side surface (32). The small round shape at the top is the first fastener, such as a magnet or snap, and the male-female small round fastener is located on the outside of the lower front surface. The dotted line in the sub-sheet indicates the position of the flexible bonding material (16) on the inside, and it can be either a single horizontal line or a V-shape split into two. Essentially, just like the top edge of the sub-sheet, a shape that is easier to open should be selected. Splitting into two makes it easier to insert your hand. The next lower line is the top edge of the front part (18), and the vertical line (19) in the center, descending from the fastener, joins the sub-sheet and the front part for the pocket (27). Although not visible in this diagram, there is also a recess on the back that can be used to store a smartphone; a vertical line could be added there, but this pocket may require a lid. In this case, the smartphone would be placed in the central space.

[0011] Figure 5 explains the difference between the zipper type and the fixed type lid and how to use them. How it is used basically depends on the user's convenience. a is a cross-sectional perspective view, in which the height of the sheets surrounding the central space (8) is the same, and fasteners (14) are provided and the fasteners serve as the lid (15), b is a perspective view depicting the inside with the right side portion (32) torn off, and c is a view of the end in use, in which cards (20) are inserted into the pocket (27) on the front, bills, coins, keys, etc. (21) are inserted into the central space, and a smartphone (28) is inserted into the rear. Figure 6a is a perspective view of a waist pouch-type bag with a pocket on the rear, with side seams (23) and two small round fasteners (17). Figure 6b is a perspective view of the bag with the lid closed, and Figure 6c is a perspective view from the rear. Figure 7 shows how to attach a belt to prevent fraying. (a) shows a case where a pseudo-ring (24) is installed, (a) where the belt is passed through the pseudo-ring so that the base of the belt is doubled, and (b) where a hook (25) is installed to attach it. (b) is a back view of a case where a hook is installed to attach it to the belt of pants, and (c) is an example of wearing it as a waist pouch. For security reasons, it is more effective to wear a jacket over it. You can also choose a pouch in a subdued color. The pseudo-ring mentioned above is related to the material, but it means that it may not be possible to determine whether it is semicircular, circular, etc. In Figure 8, the parts are shown in black to show the belt (22) more perfectly fixed, but a shows the case where the belt is separated in the central space, b shows the case where the belt is sewn to the wall without being separated, and c is a perspective view of either a or b.

[0012] 9 and 10, deformation of the outer shell 6 and the belt 22 will be explained. Figure 9 explains how to make and use the shoulder type. The belt is prepared so that it can be hung on the arm or neck by adjusting its length. As shown in Figure 9a, part A, a flexible adhesive (16) is attached to the belt (22) to form the outer shell (6), which is then attached and worn. Adhesive material is also attached to the back of the main body (26). Figure B shows a pocket (27) on the belt, into which the main body is inserted. Figure C shows the case where the insertion opening is at an angle. There is no problem even if the main body is inserted in an open position like this, as it is protected by the pocket. I choose mesh material because it increases capacity, but I'm not particular about the fabric. Other ways of holding it include holding it under your arm, holding it in your arms, or gripping it in your hand. When inserting it into a pocket, you can cut it to the length up to the cut line (29) or fold it to fit the size of the pocket. You can create it by changing the shape of the main body or the pocket. b is an example of how it is worn. You can choose whether to call it the outer shell or the auxiliary belt.

[0013] Figure 10 shows three examples in which the outer shell 6 or belt 22 is integrated or adhered to the main body 26. These are basically made to fit the shape of the main body. A has a double front part (3), and the belt is joined to the outer shell and extended into the space. A new sheet (30) is used for card insertion, creating two-tiered pockets (27) for inserting cards (20). Adding another sheet to the front increases the number of pockets to six. The back has a similar recess, but the number of pockets can be selected. Figure b shows the case where an auxiliary belt (31) is attached. It can also be shortened so that it does not wrap around the body, but has a hook or similar at the end so that it can be fastened to a part of the body. Figure c is a perspective view of a belt that has been folded twice or three times and has its outer shell deformed to encase the main body. The short upper end of the folded part can be used as the belt lid (33), and when inserting the main body into the belt, the unnecessary part can be removed along the cut line (29) as shown in Figure 9C. A flexible bonding material (16) can also be attached to the bottom part (2) to secure it to the belt.

[0014] Furthermore, because the front portion (3), bottom portion (2), and back portion (4) are connected as a single piece, the width of their major axes can change during manufacturing. Depending on how the belt is attached, it can be made into a handbag-style bag or a small size for children. Figure 4a shows a possible way to make and use it like a handbag. If a pocket is added to this form, since the lid portion (15) does not overlap, it is better to add some kind of adhesive or fastener to close the opening of the pocket (27). When reinforcing the four corners of the bottom surface, metal fittings can be attached, but overall, sharp corners should be recessed or removed as much as possible to prevent wear during use.
