Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] However, since the fish placed in the fishing bag are alive, they move inside the fishing bag, and only the backs of the fish can be seen from above. Therefore, it has been difficult to identify and take out the target fish when weighing or the like with a plurality of fish in the fishing bag.

[0006] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a fish storage bag and a sub-packaging bag capable of accommodating a plurality of fish alive and easily taking out the target fish among the plurality of fish.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0007] The fish storage bag according to the present invention has a first bag having a first bag body with a frame-shaped opening peripheral portion that maintains the shape of the upper end opening, The system comprises a second bag body that is permeable to water, can be housed inside the first bag body, and can house fish inside, and a plurality of second bags that are positioned on the upper part of the second bag body and have engaging parts that removably engage with the periphery of the opening.

[0008] With this configuration, multiple fish are placed in multiple second bags, and these second bags are placed inside the first bag body, which is filled with water or seawater. This allows the multiple fish to be stored alive and makes it easier to remove the desired fish from among the multiple fish.

[0009] In the aforementioned fish storage bag, The first bag body may be permeable to water.

[0010] With this configuration, by placing fish storage bags (a first bag and multiple second bags) inside a fishing bag such as a bucket that can hold water, multiple fish can be stored alive in the fishing bag, and the desired fish can be easily removed from among the multiple fish.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0023] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5.

[0024] The fish storage bag according to the present embodiment is used by being placed in a fishing bag that can store water inside. The fish storage bag 1 of the present embodiment is used by being placed in a bucket 9 as shown in FIG. 1.

[0025] This fish storage bag 1 comprises a first bag 2 having a first bag body 21 that is sized to fit inside a bucket 9, and a plurality of second bags 3 that are housed in the first bag body 21. In the fish storage bag 1 of this embodiment, five second bags 3 are housed in the first bag 2.

[0026] As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the first bag 2 comprises a first bag body 21 with an open top and a handle 22 positioned at the top of the first bag body 21. The first bag 2 in this embodiment is provided with a pair of handles 22.

[0027] The first bag body 21 has a frame-shaped opening periphery 215 that maintains the shape of the opening at the upper end. Specifically, the first bag body 21 has a bottom surface 211 that is rectangular in shape (in this embodiment, rectangular in shape) when viewed from above, and a periphery 212 that extends upward from the periphery of the bottom surface 211.

[0028] The circumferential portion 212 has a pair of long side portions 213 rising from each long side of the bottom portion 211, and a pair of short side portions 214 rising from each short side of the bottom portion 211. The upper end of this circumferential portion 212 constitutes the opening periphery portion 215.

[0029] The opening periphery 215 is rectangular in shape in plan view, more specifically, a rectangular frame shape corresponding in size to the bottom surface 211. In this embodiment, the opening periphery 215 is rectangular in shape in plan view. This opening periphery 215 has a metal rod-shaped frame member 215f inside. This maintains the opening shape of the opening periphery 215 in the first bag body 21. The frame member 215f is not limited to metal and may be made of other materials such as resin, as long as it has a predetermined rigidity that can maintain the opening shape of the first bag body 21.

[0030] Furthermore, the opening periphery 215 has a convex portion 216 that protrudes upward in the center of the portion (short side portion) 215A corresponding to the short side portion 214.

[0031] The convex portion 216 is triangular in shape when viewed from opposite directions of the short side portions 214, and its upper end is arc-shaped.

[0032] The first bag body 21, configured as described above, is permeable to water. More specifically, the first bag body 21 is permeable to water in all parts except the opening periphery 215. In this embodiment, the first bag body 21 (excluding the opening periphery 215) is made of mesh fabric. This mesh fabric is made of EVA resin (ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer), but it may be made of other resins or the like.

[0033] The pair of handles 22 are positioned on the long side portion 213 and the corresponding portion (long side portion) 215B of the opening periphery 215 of the first bag body 21. More specifically, the handles 22 are positioned in the center of the long side portion 215B of the opening periphery 215.

[0034] As shown in Figures 4 and 5, the second bag 3 has a second bag body 31 capable of containing fish, and an engaging portion 321 positioned on the upper part of the second bag body 31 and detachably engaging with the opening periphery 215 of the first bag 2.

[0035] More specifically, the second bag 3 comprises a second bag body 31 with an open upper end, an elongated member 32 including an engaging portion 321 and positioned on the opening peripheral edge 31a of the second bag body 31, and a handle 33 positioned on the upper end of the second bag body 31. The second bag 3 of this embodiment has a pair of elongated members 32. The second bag 3 of this embodiment also has a pair of handles 33.

[0036] The second bag body 31 is permeable to water and can be contained within the first bag 2 (more specifically, the first bag body 21). More specifically, the second bag body 31 is permeable to water in all parts except for the opening periphery 31a. In this embodiment, the second bag body 31 (excluding the opening periphery 31a) is made of mesh fabric. This mesh fabric is made of PVC resin (polyvinyl chloride), but it may be made of other resins or the like.

[0037] Specifically, the second bag body 31 is bag-shaped with a gusset 315. The width α1 of the second bag body 31 when viewed from the front (the left-right dimension in Figure 4) is smaller (shorter) than the dimension β of the long side 215B of the opening edge 215 of the first bag body 21. In the second bag body 31 of this embodiment, the width α2 of the gusset 315 (maximum width: the left-right dimension in Figure 5) is smaller than the width α1 when viewed from the front.

[0038] At least the lower part of the gusset 315 is triangular in shape, with its width (the horizontal dimension in Figure 5) decreasing as it approaches the bottom end. In this embodiment, the lower half of the gusset 315 in the vertical direction is triangular. Alternatively, the entire gusset 315 in the vertical direction may be triangular.

[0039] Each of the pair of elongated members 32 has two engaging portions 321 spaced apart in a predetermined direction, and a shaft portion 322 that extends in the predetermined direction and connects the two engaging portions 321. When the second bag 3 is housed in the first bag 2 (first bag body 21), the two engaging portions 321 are spaced apart in the direction of the long side of the opening periphery 215 of the first bag body 21, and the shaft portion 322 extends along the direction of the long side.

[0040] Each of the two engaging portions 321 can be removably engaged with the opening periphery 215 of the first bag body 21. In this embodiment, the engaging portion 321 engages with the short side portion 215A at the opening periphery 215 of the first bag body 21.

[0041] Specifically, the engaging portion 321 is hook-shaped (an inverted U-shape) with an open bottom. This engaging portion 321 engages with the short side portion 215A of the opening periphery 215 of the first bag body 21 by hooking onto it from above. On the other hand, the engaging portion 321 is released from engagement with the short side portion 215A of the opening periphery 215 of the first bag body 21 simply by moving upward from the state in which it is hooked onto the short side portion 215A (engaged state).

[0042] The shaft portion 322 is a metal rod and is positioned within the opening periphery 31a of the second bag body 31. The shaft portion 322 is not limited to metal and may be made of other materials such as resin, as long as it has sufficient rigidity to maintain its shape.

[0043] The pair of elongated members 32 configured as described above are positioned so that their respective shaft portions 322 are parallel to each other and located in opposing portions of the opening periphery 31a of the second bag body 31 (in this embodiment, within that portion), and the engaging portions 321 at both ends of the shaft portions 322 are exposed to the outside. In the second bag 3 of this embodiment, when the second bag 3 is viewed from the front, the engaging portions 321 at both ends of the elongated members 32 protrude from the second bag body 31 in the left and right directions respectively (see Figure 4). In this embodiment, each shaft portion 322 is positioned in the portion of the opening periphery 31a excluding the portion corresponding to the gusset 315 (shaft portion arrangement portion) 311a.

[0044] The pair of handles 33 are positioned at the shaft portion arrangement area 311a on the opening periphery 31a of the second bag body 31. More specifically, the handles 33 are positioned in the center of the shaft portion arrangement area 311a on the opening periphery 31a.

[0045] The fish storage bag 1, configured as described above, is used as follows.

[0046] With water or seawater accumulated inside the bucket 9, the first bag 2 is placed inside the bucket 9, and multiple second bags 3 are placed inside the first bag 2. At this time, the engaging portions 321 at both ends of the second bags 3 (both ends in the direction in which the long member 32 extends) are hooked (engaged) to the pair of short sides 215A of the opening periphery 215 of the first bag 2. Note that with the first bag 2 placed inside the bucket 9 and multiple second bags 3 placed inside the first bag 2, water or seawater may be accumulated inside the bucket 9.

[0047] In this state, the caught fish is placed in the second bag 3. At this time, the opening of the second bag 3 opens wide at the opening periphery 31a where the fish is placed, as the pair of long members 32 move away from each other (in the direction in which the short side portion 215A of the opening periphery 215 of the first bag 2 extends), making it easier to put the fish in.

[0048] When the opening of the second bag 3 is opened, the opening of the second bag 3 can be quickly opened by sliding the elongated members 32 against the short side portion 215A of the opening periphery portion 215 of the first bag 2, while each engaging portion 321 remains engaged (in this embodiment, remains hooked). At this time, the wide-open opening shape of the opening of the second bag 3 is maintained by the pair of elongated members 32.

[0049] Then, after the fish are placed in the second bag 3, the opening of the second bag 3 is closed as the pair of elongated members 32 move closer together. At this time, each engaging portion 321 remains engaged (hooked) with the short side portion 215A of the opening periphery portion 215 of the first bag 2, and the opening of the second bag 3 can be quickly closed by sliding the elongated members 32 against the short side portion 215A. At this time, the closed state of the opening of the second bag 3 is maintained by the pair of elongated members 32.

[0050] When the process of adding fish to the second bag 3 is repeated until each second bag 3 is filled with fish, and you want to swap a newly caught fish with a fish already in the second bag 3, the opening of the second bag 3 containing the desired fish is opened, the fish inside is removed, and then the newly caught fish is placed in that second bag 3.

[0051] In this way, with the fish separated into each second bag 3, when it comes time to take out the target fish for weighing or other purposes, the target fish can be easily and quickly extracted from the multiple fish in the bucket 9 (first bag 2) by taking out the second bag 3 containing that fish. In addition, since each second bag 3 is permeable to water, the fish placed inside can be kept alive.

[0052] The fish storage bag 1 described above comprises a first bag 2 having a first bag body 21 with a frame-shaped opening periphery 215 that maintains the shape of the opening at the upper end, a second bag body 31 that is permeable to water, can be housed inside the first bag body 21 and can house fish inside, and a plurality of second bags 3 that are positioned on the upper part of the second bag body 31 and have engaging parts 321 that are detachably engaged with the opening periphery 215.

[0053] With this fish storage bag 1, multiple fish are divided into multiple second bags 3, and by placing the multiple second bags 3 inside the first bag body 21 which is filled with water or seawater, it is possible to store multiple fish alive and make it easy to take out the desired fish from among the multiple fish.

[0054] In the fish storage bag 1 of this embodiment, the first bag body 21 is permeable to water. This allows the fish storage bag 1 (first bag 2 and multiple second bags 3) to be placed inside a fishing bag or the like (a bucket in this embodiment) 9 that can hold water inside, enabling multiple fish to be stored alive in the fishing bag or the like 9, and making it easy to remove the desired fish from among the multiple fish.

[0055] Furthermore, in the fish storage bag 1 of this embodiment, the second bag body 31 is bag-shaped with a gusset 315, and at least the lower part of the gusset 315 is triangular in shape, with the width decreasing as it approaches the bottom end. As a result, fish with a high body height are less likely to fall over sideways inside the second bag 3.

[0056] In this embodiment, the second bags 3 are housed in the first bag (first bag body) with their elongated members 32 parallel or nearly parallel to each other, aligned in the direction of the extension of the short side portion 215A of the opening periphery 215. As a result, taller fish are less likely to tip over sideways inside the second bags 3, allowing more second bags 3 to be housed in the first bag 2.

[0057] Furthermore, in the fish storage bag 1 of this embodiment, the second bag 3 has a pair of elongated members 32 having two engaging portions 321 spaced apart in a predetermined direction, and a shaft portion 322 that extends in the predetermined direction and connects the two engaging portions 321. The shaft portions 322 of the pair of elongated members 32 are arranged parallel to each other at opposing portions of the opening periphery 31a of the second bag body 31.

[0058] With this configuration, by opening the mouth (opening) of the second bag 3 (second bag body 31) in such a way that the distance between the shaft portions 322 of the long member 32 is widened, the mouth remains wide open, making it easier to put fish in and take them out of the second bag 3.

[0059] Furthermore, in the fish storage bag 1 of this embodiment, the second bag 3 has a handle 33 positioned at the upper end of the second bag body 31. This makes it easy to carry the second bag 3, put it into the first bag body 21, and take it out. Also, since the handle 33 can be hooked onto a scale or balance hook, the weight of the fish can be measured while it is still in the second bag 3.

[0060] It should be noted that the fish storage bag of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention. For example, the configuration of one embodiment can be added to the configuration of another embodiment, and a part of the configuration of one embodiment can be replaced with the configuration of another embodiment. Furthermore, a part of the configuration of one embodiment can be deleted.

[0061] The first bag body 21 in the above embodiment has water permeability, but is not limited to this configuration. The first bag body 21 may have a configuration that does not have water permeability, that is, a configuration that can store water or seawater inside. In this case, the fish storage bag 1 can be used as a bucket that can store water or seawater inside.

[0062] Furthermore, although the first bag 2 in the above embodiment does not have a lid to close the opening at the upper end of the first bag body 21, it may have a lid.

[0063] Furthermore, although the first bag body 21 and the second bag body 31 in the above embodiment are formed of mesh fabric, the configuration is not limited to this. The first bag body 21 and the second bag body 31 may be formed of other fabrics that have water permeability.

[0064] Furthermore, the second bag 3 (second bag body 31) in the above embodiment is a bag-like shape with a gusset 315, that is, a bag-like shape in which the width α1 when viewed from the front is larger than the width α2 of the gusset 315, but it is not limited to this configuration. The second bag 3 may also be a bag-like shape without a gusset 315.

[0065] Furthermore, in the second bag 3 of the above embodiment, at least the lower part of the gusset 315 is triangular in shape, with the width decreasing as it approaches the bottom end, but the configuration is not limited to this. In the second bag 3, the width of the gusset 315 may be constant at each position in the vertical direction, etc.

[0066] Furthermore, while the second bag 3 in the above embodiment contains one fish, it is not limited to this configuration. The second bag 3 may be configured (in terms of size, shape, etc.) to contain multiple fish. Even with such a configuration, compared to the case where multiple fish are contained in the first bag 2, dividing these multiple fish into several second bags makes it easier to retrieve the desired fish.

[0067] Furthermore, although the engaging portion 321 of the second bag 3 in the above embodiment is hook-shaped (upside-down U-shaped) with an open bottom, it is not limited to this configuration. The specific configuration of the engaging portion 321 is not limited as long as it can be removably engaged with the opening periphery 215 of the first bag body 21. In addition, it is preferable that the engaging portion 321, which has a shape (configuration) other than a hook shape, is configured to be able to slide (move) along the opening periphery 215 while remaining engaged with the opening periphery 215.

[0068] Furthermore, although the number of engaging portions 321 of the second bag 3 in the above embodiment is four, it may be three or fewer, or five or more.

[0069] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the second bag 3 engages with each of the pair of opposing short sides 215A at the opening periphery 215 of the first bag body 21, but the configuration is not limited to this.

[0070] The second bag 3 may be configured to engage with only one of the short sides 215A of the opening periphery 215 of the first bag body 21, or it may be configured to engage with the long side 215B. In other words, the engaging portion 321 of the second bag 3 only needs to be able to engage with the opening periphery 215 of the first bag body 21, and the location (part) of engagement on the opening periphery 215 is not limited.

[0071] Furthermore, the second bag 3 only needs to have at least one engaging portion 321 and may not have a shaft portion 322.

[0072] Furthermore, the number, shape, and position of the handles 22 and 33 in the first bag 2 and the second bag 3 are not limited.

[0073] Furthermore, in the fish storage bag 1 of the above embodiment, five second bags 3 are housed in the first bag 2, but the configuration is not limited to this. The first bag 2 may house two to four second bags 3, or six or more second bags 3.

[0074] Furthermore, although the fish storage bag 1 of the above embodiment is sold as a set consisting of a first bag 2 and a plurality of second bags 3, the second bags 3 may also be sold individually as small bags. This small bag 3 is a small bag that is housed in a first bag 2 having a first bag body 21 having a frame-shaped opening periphery 215 that maintains the shape of the opening at the upper end, and comprises a small bag body (second bag body) 31 that can be housed inside the first bag body 21 and can house fish inside, and an engaging portion 321 that is positioned on the upper part of the small bag body 31 and removably engages with the opening periphery 215.

[0075] By preparing multiple of these small bags (second bags) 3, dividing multiple fish into multiple small bags 3, and placing the multiple small bags 3 into the first bag body 21 which is filled with water or seawater, it becomes possible to store the multiple fish alive and to easily remove the desired fish from among the multiple fish.

[0076] Furthermore, although the fish storage bag 1 of the above embodiment is composed of multiple bags (a first bag 2 and multiple second bags 3), it is not limited to this configuration. The fish storage bag may consist only of the second bags 3. Specifically, for example, the fish storage bag may comprise a bag-shaped bag body 31 with an open top and a gusset 315, and an engaging hook (engaging part) 321 provided on the opening periphery 31a of the bag body 31, wherein the bag body 31 is permeable to water, and at least the lower part of the gusset 315 may be triangular in shape, with the width decreasing as it approaches the bottom end.

[0077] By preparing multiple fish storage bags, dividing and placing multiple fish into each bag, and then placing these bags into a bucket (like a Takkan 9) filled with water or seawater, it becomes possible to store multiple fish alive while also making it easier to retrieve the desired fish from among them.
