Description

Technical Field

[0005] ,

[0001] The present invention relates to a backpack having a partition inside the backpack in order to improve the storage capacity.

Background Art

[0002] Conventionally, in order to improve the storage capacity of a backpack, a storage section has been added outside the backpack body (see, for example, Patent Document 1), or a two-layer type has been adopted in which a room is added to the bottom surface so that it can be opened and closed with a fastener (see, for example, Non-Patent Document 1), or a detachable partition has been attached inside the backpack so that it can be used as either a single layer or a two-layer (see, for example, Patent Document 2 and Non-Patent Document 2).

[0006] The objective of the present invention is to provide a backpack that is easy to use, even if it has dividers inside the main body of the backpack, without needing to be removable. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The present invention relates to a backpack body having an internal space, A partition fabric that is stored inside the main body of the backpack and whose top can be opened and closed with a drawstring, This backpack is characterized by including [a specific feature].

[0008] Furthermore, in the present invention, the partition cloth is made of mesh cloth. It is characterized by the following:

[0009] Furthermore, the present invention includes a zipper that is attached to the side of the backpack body, By opening the zipper, it becomes possible to access the luggage stored beneath the partition cloth. It is characterized by the following: [Effects of the Invention]

[0010] According to the present invention, a partition cloth, whose top can be opened and closed like a drawstring, is housed inside the main body of the backpack. When the partition cloth is open, the inside of the backpack can be used as a single layer of space. When the partition cloth is closed, the space can be divided into two layers: the lower layer is below the partition cloth, and the inside of the backpack above the partition cloth is the upper layer. Even though the partition cloth acts as a divider inside the main body of the backpack, it does not need to be detachable, making it easy to use.

[0011] Furthermore, according to the present invention, luggage and other items stored in the lower layer of the partition cloth can be easily seen.

[0012] Furthermore, according to the present invention, by opening the zipper attached to the side of the backpack body, items placed below the partition fabric in the lower layer of the backpack body can be easily retrieved. Since there is no conspicuous opening at the bottom of the backpack body, the design of the backpack is not compromised. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0013] [Figure 1] Figure 1 is a simplified side cross-sectional view showing the configuration of a backpack 1, which is one embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 2] Figure 2 is a photograph used as a diagram to show the internal structure of the backpack body 2 of backpack 1 shown in Figure 1. [Figure 3] Figure 3 is a photograph used as a diagram to show the internal structure of the backpack body 2 of backpack 1 shown in Figure 1. [Figure 4] Figure 4 is a photograph used as a diagram to show the internal structure of the backpack body 2 of backpack 1 shown in Figure 1. [Figure 5] Figure 5 is a photographic representation of the internal structure of the backpack body 2 of the backpack 1 shown in Figure 1. [Figure 6] Figure 6 is a photograph used as a substitute for a diagram, showing the installation state of the side fastener 9. [Figure 7]FIG. 7 is a drawing substitute photograph showing a state in which the side fastener 9 is opened and the luggage 10 is taken out.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

[0014] Hereinafter, the configuration and functions of the backpack 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 7. For convenience of explanation, parts not shown in the drawings of the object to be explained may be referred to by attaching reference numerals shown in other drawings.

EXAMPLE

[0015] FIG. 1 schematically shows the configuration of a backpack 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention, with a cross-section near the center in the lateral width direction. The broken cross-section is indicated by a thick broken line. The backpack 1 can carry luggage by hanging the backpack straps 3 on both shoulders or holding the handle 4 by hand with the luggage accommodated in the backpack body 2 having a space inside. Part of the luggage can also be stored in the front pocket 5 which is an external storage part of the backpack body 2. Inside the backpack body 1, a partition cloth 6 whose top can be opened and closed in a drawstring manner is accommodated. The partition cloth 6 can be opened and closed in a drawstring manner at the top with a string 7, and by pulling the string 7 with respect to the partition cloth 6, the top can be closed. The partition cloth 6 is formed of a mesh cloth and is sewn to the side surface of the backpack body 2 at the lower sewing part 6a. The inside of the backpack body 2 is partitioned by a vertical partition 11, and the back side of the vertical partition 11 is a PC storage room 12 capable of storing a notebook computer, a tablet terminal, etc.

[0016] FIG. 2 shows a configuration in which a partition cloth 6 is provided inside the backpack body 2 of the backpack 1 in FIG. 1. The top of the partition cloth 6 is in a closed state with the string 7 pulled and the string insertion part 8 tightened. The side fastener 9 attached to the side surface of the backpack body 2 is open from the bottom to the side surface. In this state, the partition cloth 6 does not partition the inside of the backpack body 2, and the inside of the backpack body 2 can be used as a single-layer space.

[0017] Figure 3 shows the top of the partition fabric 6 in Figure 2 open inside the backpack body 2. The string 7 is inserted loosely through the string insertion part 8, allowing items to be put in and taken out from below the partition fabric 6. If a transparent fabric such as mesh is used for the partition fabric 6, the contents can be seen even when it is closed. The PC zipper 13 opens and closes the PC storage compartment 12 shown in Figure 1.

[0018] Figures 4 and 5 show the state in which the backpack body 2 of the backpack 1 of Figure 1 is used as a lower layer by placing luggage 10 below the partition cloth 6 inside the backpack body 2, thus creating a two-layered structure within the backpack body 2. Figure 4 shows a reduced amount of luggage 10, creating more space above the partition cloth 6 inside the backpack body 2. Figure 5 shows a state with a large amount of luggage 10. The luggage 10 can be placed in the space below the partition cloth 6 until the top height is maximized, as shown in Figure 1. By setting the top height of the partition cloth 6 to about half the height to the top of the backpack body 2, for example, about one-third to two-thirds, the space inside the backpack body 2 can be divided in various ways. In addition, since the partition cloth 6 is made of mesh fabric, luggage 10 and other items stored in the lower layer of the partition cloth 6 can be easily seen.

[0019] Figures 6 and 7 show the attachment and use of the side zipper 9. Since the side zipper 9 is attached to the side of the backpack body 2, there is no conspicuous opening in the backpack body 2, so the design is not compromised. When the side zipper 9 is opened, items 10 placed below the partition fabric 6 can be easily taken out. [Explanation of Symbols]
