Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a compression pouch for outerwear that can compress and store a plurality of outerwear items. [Background Art]
[0002] In recent years, annual temperature differences have intensified globally due to global warming, and opportunities to purchase thick outerwear in preparation for cold winters have increased.
[0003] However, since these thick outerwear items are not worn in summer, the problem of insufficient storage space for storage arises.
[0004] Thick outerwear worn in winter is bulky, so it occupies a large amount of storage space such as in closets. However, forcibly storing these outerwear items in a limited space may cause mold growth due to moisture and damage from pests.
[0005] According to the prior art, as shown in FIG. 1, thick outerwear has often been stored using vacuum compression bags. However, this method has drawbacks: since the vacuum compression bag itself occupies a certain volume, the space utilization efficiency is low when storing multiple outerwear items, and the vacuum compression bag is difficult to reuse, which causes environmental pollution.
[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a technology that has no risk of environmental pollution, can reduce the volume of thick outerwear to efficiently utilize storage space, and can safely protect clothing from moisture and pests even in an enclosed space. [Summary of the Invention] [Problem to be Solved by the Invention]
[0007] An object of the present invention is to provide a compression pouch for outerwear in order to solve the aforementioned problems.
[0008] Specifically, the present invention aims to provide a clothing storage solution that reduces the volume of thick winter outerwear, thereby improving space utilization efficiency, while also protecting clothing from moisture and pests, and enabling efficient storage and management. [Means for solving the problem]
[0009] An embodiment of the present invention for achieving the aforementioned technical challenges provides an outerwear compression pouch comprising: a pouch body forming a storage space for storing at least one outer garment; a compression portion formed on the side of the pouch body and designed to compress the storage space when a zipper is engaged; and a pair of protruding hook portions located at the upper ends of the front and back portions of the pouch body, respectively, and formed toward the upper end of the pouch body, wherein the pair of protruding hook portions have a shape that allows them to be hung and secured on a hanger.
[0010] Furthermore, the pouch body includes a ventilation section formed to a predetermined width in one area of the front and back of the pouch body, and the ventilation section is made of a grid-like mesh material and is formed to allow external air and internal air to flow freely.
[0011] Furthermore, of the pair of protruding hook portions, one is connected to the front portion and the other is connected to the back portion, and when the fastener of the compression portion is fastened and the storage space of the pouch body is compressed, the respective protruding hook portions are formed to overlap in the same shape.
[0012] Furthermore, the front portion includes a fastener and fastener lines formed along the outer edge of the interface where the front portion and the side of the pouch body meet, and the fastener lines are formed on the left and right sides of the front portion, respectively.
[0013] Furthermore, the back portion includes a fastener and a fastener line formed along the outer edge of the interface where the front portion and the side portion of the pouch body meet, and the fastener line is formed on one side of the left and right sides of the back portion.
[0014] The product further includes a pocket for storing a dehumidifier, which is formed on one inner surface of the back portion and is positioned off-center so as to be close to the zipper line.
[0015] The pouch body further includes a plurality of auxiliary hook portions formed facing each other near a zipper line formed on the side of the pouch body; and a first adhesive member and a second adhesive member on the front and back portions for connecting the front and back portions when the compression portion is compressed. [Effects of the Invention]
[0016] This invention provides a compression pouch for outerwear that can compress and store multiple outerwear items, thereby dramatically reducing the volume of thick outerwear and improving the efficiency of storage space utilization.
[0017] Furthermore, by protecting clothing stored in a sealed space from moisture and pests, it is possible to prevent damage to outerwear and extend its lifespan.
[0018] Furthermore, outerwear, which is bulky and therefore difficult to store and move, can be easily transported and managed by storing it in a compressed state. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0020] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings so that a person having ordinary knowledge in the technical field to which the present invention pertains can easily carry out the invention. However, the present invention can be embodied in various forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. In addition, in order to clearly describe the present invention in the drawings, parts unrelated to the description are omitted, and similar reference numerals are assigned to similar parts throughout the specification.
[0021] Throughout the specification, when a certain part "comprises" a certain component, this means that, unless specifically stated to the contrary, it does not exclude other components but can further include other components, and it should be understood that it does not exclude in advance the possibility of the existence or addition of one or more other features, numbers, steps, operations, components, parts, or combinations thereof.
[0022] The following embodiments are detailed descriptions for facilitating understanding of the present invention, and do not limit the scope of the claims of the present invention. Therefore, any invention within the same scope that performs the same function as the present invention also belongs to the scope of the claims of the present invention.
[0023] The present invention relates to a compression pouch for outerwear that can store a plurality of outerwear items in a compressed state, and the compression pouch for outerwear according to one embodiment of the present invention can be implemented as follows.
[0024] Referring to Figure 2, a compression pouch according to one embodiment of the present invention may include a pouch body 100 that forms a storage space for storing multiple outer garments, a compression section 104 that compresses the storage space containing the outer garments when a fastener formed on the side of the pouch body 100 engages with it, and a pair of protruding hook sections 101 that are located at the upper ends of the front section 102 and the back section 103 of the pouch body 100, respectively, and are formed in the direction of the upper end of the pouch body 100.
[0025] Here, the pouch body 100 has a rectangular shape with a predetermined thickness overall, as shown in Figure 2, and its upper end can be formed into a rounded shape with a specific curvature.
[0026] In this case, the pair of protruding hook portions 101 have a shape that allows them to be hung on a hanger and fixed. The pair of protruding hook portions 101 can be realized in a variety of shapes that allow them to be hung on a hanger and fixed. In a typical embodiment, as shown in the figure, the bottom surface is straight, and the side and top surfaces are curved, but one side can be open to serve as a hook. The protruding hook portion 101 plays a role in facilitating the hanging of the outer garment stored inside to be hung on a hanger rack such as a pipe. Specifically, the upper end center of the pouch body 100 forms an opening space from which the hanger of the outer garment stored inside can protrude to the outside. After the hanger of the outer garment protrudes, it can be hung on a hanger rack, etc., thereby fixing the outer garment to the hanger. In this process, it is necessary for the pouch body 100 to be maintained in a fixed state on the hanger rack, and the protruding hook portion 101 performs this role, allowing the pouch body 100 to be maintained in a fixed state even during the process of compression of the pouch body 100.
[0027] Furthermore, the pouch body 100 according to one embodiment of the present invention may include a ventilation portion 105 formed with a predetermined width in one area of the front portion 102 and the back portion 103 of the body.
[0028] The ventilation section 105 can be made of a grid-like mesh material. The ventilation section 105 is formed to allow external air and air inside the pouch body 100 to flow freely, minimizing damage to clothing caused by sealed air even when outerwear is stored in the pouch body 100 for a long period of time.
[0029] Furthermore, the ventilation section 105 is formed at a position that is offset upward by a predetermined length from the center of the pouch body 100, and is formed in a rectangular shape to surround the pouch body 100.
[0030] On the other hand, referring to Figures 3 and 4, the compression section 104 according to one embodiment of the present invention is formed on the side surface between the front portion 102 and the rear portion 103 of the pouch body 100, as shown in the figures, and can compress or expand the storage space of the pouch body 100.
[0031] Such a fastener structure for compression can be implemented in various ways through diverse embodiments, but in this embodiment, the fastener structure consists of a compression fastener 110 and a compression fastener line 111. The compression fastener line 111 is formed to encircle the storage space along the outer casing of the pouch body 100. This allows the storage space to be compressed when the compression fastener 110 is fastened and expanded when it is released.
[0032] Furthermore, the compression zipper line 111 and compression zipper 110 may be configured to surround the entire side of the pouch body 100 as a whole. Alternatively, they may be configured on the left side and the right side, respectively, based on a pair of protruding hook portions 101 on the side.
[0033] Furthermore, the locking direction of the zipper for compressing the pouch body 100 may be counterclockwise or clockwise. However, in terms of the product's storage principle, it is possible to configure it so that compression occurs when the zipper moves counterclockwise, which is the opposite direction to the position of the protruding hook portion 101, and compression is released when the zipper moves clockwise.
[0034] On the other hand, the pair of protruding hook portions 101 of the present invention are positioned so that they overlap each other when the pouch body 100 is viewed from the front. As a result, when viewed from the front, the pair of protruding hook portions 101 appear to overlap almost completely with the same shape.
[0035] For this purpose, the pair of protruding hook portions 101 of the present invention can be implemented such that one protruding hook portion 101 is connected to the front portion 102 and the other protruding hook portion 101 is connected to the rear portion 103.
[0036] The protruding hook portion 101 can be connected to the front portion 102 or the back portion 103 of the pouch body 100 via the hook support portion 116.
[0037] A hook support portion 116 according to one embodiment of the present invention is formed in the center of the front portion 102 and the back portion 103 and is located in the upper center of the ventilation portion 105. The hook support portion 116 can be formed in a band shape having a predetermined length above the front portion 102 or the back portion 103. The hook support portion 116 may include a first sewn portion sewn in an X shape at the end closer to the ventilation portion 105, and a second sewn portion may also be included at a position a predetermined length below the other end. The strong stitching in the vertical direction allows the protruding hook portion to be firmly fixed.
[0038] Furthermore, one end of the hook support portion 116 adjacent to the second sewing portion is configured as a connecting hook that connects to the protruding hook portion 101, thereby allowing the outer compression pouch to be easily hung on a pipe-shaped hanger rack.
[0039] Next, referring to Figure 4, the pouch body 100 according to one embodiment of the present invention may include a plurality of auxiliary hook portions 107 that are formed to face each other near the fastener line formed on the side of the pouch body 100.
[0040] These auxiliary hook portions 107 can be formed to overlap in a circular shape when the compression portion 104 is compressed. The auxiliary hook portions 107 are used to hold the next zipper to be fastened with the hand that is not operating the zipper, in order to make it easier to close the zipper when compressing the compression pouch while turning the zipper.
[0041] In one embodiment of the present invention, the auxiliary hook portion 107 is formed on both sides of the front portion 102 and the back portion 103 along the compression fastener line 111. For example, one pair is formed above the ventilation portion 105, and two pairs are formed below the ventilation portion 105. The auxiliary hook portion 107 is also formed in the same position on the opposite side, and each pair of auxiliary hook portions is formed to have the same spacing between them. However, this is merely an example, and the position and number of auxiliary hook portions 107 can be configured in various ways.
[0042] As a result, the auxiliary hook portion 107 can be formed in a position that is easy to grasp by hand when pulling the compression fastener 110, so that the part to be compressed can be pulled by hand and the fastener can be fastened smoothly.
[0043] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 5, the outer compression pouch of the present invention may further include a plurality of first and second adhesive members 108 on the upper surfaces of the front portion 102 and the back portion 103 to firmly connect the front portion 102 and the back portion 103 when the compression portion 104 is compressed.
[0044] The first and second attachment members 108 can be implemented in various forms such as hooks, buttons, clips, and fasteners, but in a typical embodiment, they are composed of a pair of hook-and-loop fastener materials.
[0045] In this case, the first attachment member is configured as a rectangular hook-and-loop fastener and is provided on the upper surfaces of the front portion 102 and the back portion 103, and can be positioned on either side with respect to the open space on the upper surface. The second attachment member is configured as a strip-shaped member with a hook-and-loop fastener attached to one area of its end, and can be positioned on the opposite side from the side on which the first attachment member is provided, with respect to the open space on the upper surface.
[0046] This is to seal the open space in the storage compartment of the pouch body 100, which allows the hangers of the clothes stored inside to protrude. Leaving such an open space as is would not look good, and there is a risk of clothes sticking out or dust entering, so this is to seal it.
[0047] The compression pouch for outerwear of the present invention prevents multiple outerwear items stored in the storage space from protruding from the open space as the storage space is compressed by the compression section 104.
[0048] Additionally, the pouch body 100 of the present invention further includes a name tag 106 on its top surface capable of storing memo paper.
[0049] The name tag 106 in this invention is made of a transparent material and has an opening on one side, allowing a piece of paper on which a memo has been written to be inserted and removed through the opening. The name tag 106 can hold a piece of paper on which information about the clothing stored in the compression pouch has been written, for example, "Winter Down Jacket" if a winter down jacket is stored, or "Heat-Resistant Clothing" if clothing that is sensitive to moisture is stored.
[0050] On the other hand, referring to Figure 6, the pouch body 100 includes a front zipper 112, a front zipper line 113, a back zipper 114, and a back zipper line 115, which are formed along the outer boundary of the interface where the front portion 102 and the side portion of the pouch body 100 meet, that is, along the outermost boundary portions of both the left and right ends of the front of the pouch body 100 when viewed from the front.
[0051] In this case, as shown in the figure, the front zipper 112 and the front zipper line 113 can be formed symmetrically on the left and right sides of the front part 102, with respect to the protruding hook part 101, along the outer edge of the interface where the front part 102 and the side part meet. In this case, the directions in which the zippers are fastened and unfastened are also configured to be symmetrical. After storing the outer garment in the pouch body 100, the front zipper 112 and the front zipper line 113 serve to open the entire front of the pouch body 100, making it easy to hang the outer garment on a hanger rack or the like.
[0052] On the other hand, the back zipper 114 and the back zipper line 115 are formed along the outer edge of the interface where the back portion 103 and the side portion of the pouch body 100 meet, but they can be formed on only one side of the back portion 103, either the left or the right side.
[0053] Referring to Figure 7, in this case, a pocket 109 for storing a dehumidifier can be formed on one inner surface of the back portion 103, positioned in an off-center location close to the zipper line.
[0054] The structure shown in Figures 6 and 7 allows users to easily store or replace dehumidifiers in and out of storage pockets after storing multiple outer garments, simply by opening the zipper formed on only one side of the back portion 103, without having to reach deep into the storage space. Furthermore, when outer garments are compressed and stored in the pouch body 100, opening the entire front or back portion may release the compression and cause the outer garments to expand. However, by forming the back portion zipper 114 and back portion zipper line 115 on only one side of the back portion, and opening only that side, when attempting to remove only one outer garment while it is compressed, it is possible to remove only that garment while maintaining the compressed state of the remaining outer garments.
[0055] This invention minimizes damage to clothing caused by foreign objects and microorganisms present on human hands by minimizing unnecessary physical contact after the outer garment has been stored and compressed in a storage space.
[0056] The following describes how to utilize the present invention.
[0057] The present invention is for compressing and storing multiple thick outer garments. To do this, first, with the compression section 104 released, the protruding hook portion 101 of the pouch body 100 can be hung on a horizontally positioned pipe-shaped hanger rack (not shown). After releasing the front zipper 112 and front zipper line 113 to open the front, winter outer garments such as down jackets can be inserted into the pouch body 100 and hung on a clothes hanger. At this time, the clothes hanger can be extended through the open space on the top surface of the pouch body 100 and secured by hanging the hanger on the hanger rack. After inserting multiple outer garments into the pouch body 100 in this manner, they can be hung on the hanger rack.
[0058] Next, after storing the clothes, compression is carried out through the compression zipper 110 and compression zipper line 111 of the compression section 104.
[0059] Through this method, the present invention can improve upon the problems of conventional storage methods, such as the difficulty of reusing vacuum compression bags and the fact that substantial compression is not achieved due to the volume of the packing bags themselves.
[0060] The above description of the present invention is illustrative, and a person with ordinary skill in the art to which the invention pertains should understand that it can be easily modified into other specific forms without altering the technical idea or essential features of the invention. Therefore, the embodiments described above should be understood to be illustrative and not limiting in all respects. For example, each component described as a single type may be implemented in a distributed manner, and similarly, components described as distributed may be implemented in a combined manner.
[0061] The scope of the present invention is indicated more by the claims described below than by the detailed description above, and all modifications or alterations derived from the meaning and scope of the claims and the concept of equivalents thereto should be interpreted as being included within the scope of the present invention.
