Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a luggage storage device such as a bag or backpack that allows luggage to be put in and taken out. [Background technology]

[0002] Such luggage storage devices include those that have a front main body and a rear main body, with a zipper provided between the two, and the opening is opened and closed by opening and closing the zipper (for example, see Patent Document 1 below). By opening the zipper, an opening is formed, and luggage can be stored inside or removed from the inside.

[0003] Travel suitcases also have a similar structure, and the front and rear body parts can be opened simply by opening the zipper. In the case of a suitcase, the front and rear body parts are made of a hard material, so the shape of the front and rear body parts does not change, and simply opening the zipper naturally creates an opening.

[0021] The front body part 100 has a front surface part 104 and a peripheral edge part 110. As shown in Figs. 1 to 4, the peripheral edge part 110 is provided over the entire periphery (top surface part, left and right side surface parts, bottom surface part). The peripheral edge part 110 is provided in parallel with the front intermediate support part 120 and the front fastener support part 130. The peripheral edge part 110 is also belt-shaped, and its width is the same or almost the same as the width of the front intermediate support part 120. The width of the peripheral edge part 110 can be appropriately determined taking into account the internal storage volume. As shown in Fig. 1, the front body part 104 is provided with a wide band 105. The peripheral edge part 110 is formed of a flexible material. The front body part 100 is provided with a handle 102.

[0022] The rear main body part 200 has a rear surface part (not shown) and a peripheral edge part 210. As shown in Figs. 1 to 4, the peripheral edge part 210 is provided over the entire periphery (top surface part, left and right side surface parts, and bottom surface part). The peripheral edge part 210 is provided in parallel with the rear intermediate support body 220 and the rear fastener support body 230. The peripheral edge part 210 is also strip-shaped, and its width is the same or approximately the same as the width of the rear intermediate support body 220. The width of the peripheral edge part 210 can be appropriately determined taking into account the internal storage volume. The peripheral edge part 210 is formed of a flexible material. The rear main body part 200 is provided with a handle 202.

[0023] In this embodiment, the front and rear fastener supports 130, 230, the front and rear intermediate supports 120, 220, and the front and rear peripheral edges 110, 210 have the same width at the front and rear, respectively, but are not limited to this. They may be formed asymmetrically with different widths at the front and rear.

[0024] The front and rear peripheral edges 110, 210 and the front and rear intermediate supports 120, 220 are provided across the top surface, left and right side surfaces, and bottom surface of the bag A, and surround the bag A. As shown in the bottom view of Fig. 4, the peripheral edges 110, 210 are one strip-shaped member, and are provided with butt ends 110a, 210a on the bottom surface. The front and rear intermediate supports 120, 220 are also one strip-shaped member, and are provided with butt ends 120a, 220a on the bottom surface.

[0025] The fastener F is provided across the top surface and the left and right side surfaces. As shown in Fig. 3, the fastener F extends to the lowest end or near the lowest end of the side surfaces. In this embodiment, the fastener is not present on the bottom surface, but it may extend to the bottom surface.

[0026] 4, no fastener is provided on the bottom portion, but a belt-shaped member 330 is provided between the front main body portion 100 and the rear main body portion 200. The belt-shaped member 330 is also made of a flexible material.

[0027] <Core material composition> The core material 150, 250 is provided in parallel to the fastener F. The core material 150 is disposed inside the front intermediate support 120. The core material 150 is provided across the top surface, left and right side surfaces, and bottom surface of the bag A. The core material 150 is a single member, and is formed of a metal rod-shaped member or plate-shaped member having a predetermined cross section. The core material 150 may be made of a material other than metal as long as it is a hard member having strength. As the metal, materials such as stainless steel and iron can be used, but other types of metals may also be used. The cross-sectional shape of the core material 150 can be various shapes such as a circle, an ellipse, a rectangle, a square, a polygon, etc.

[0028] The core material 150 is disposed inside the front intermediate support 120, so that the front intermediate support 120 is composed of a front member and a back member, and the core material 150 is disposed therebetween. This makes the core material 150 invisible from the outside.

[0029] The core material 250 is formed in the same manner as the core material 150. As shown in Fig. 4, the core materials 150 and 250 are formed of a single member, but have ends 150a, 150b, 250a, and 250b on the bottom surface. Each end extends to the vicinity of the ends 120a and 220a of the intermediate supports 120 and 220.

[0030] The core material 150 and the core material 250 are provided on the top surface, the left and right side surfaces, and the bottom surface of the bag A, but they do not have to be provided on the bottom surface. In the present invention, the core material is provided on both the front and rear sides, but it may be provided on only one of them.

[0031] In this embodiment, each of the cores 150 and 250 is made of one member, but may be made of multiple members. For example, the top surface, left and right side surfaces, and bottom surface of the core 150 may be made of different members. The same applies to the core 250.

[0032] Fig. 5 shows the state where the fastener F is fully opened to open the opening. Fig. 6 is a side view showing the state where the opening is open. Since the core materials 150, 250 are provided, opening the fastener naturally brings the opening into a fully open state as shown in Figs. 5 and 6. Since the core materials 150, 250 are provided, the periphery of the opening can be reinforced, and the shape of the opening is maintained in a stable state.

[0033] Connecting covers 300, 310 are provided on the left and right sides between the front body portion 100 and the rear body portion 200 to restrict the opening from opening wider than necessary.

[0034] The fulcrum when opening and closing the opening is at the bottom or at a height close to the bottom. This allows the opening to be made large. A strip-shaped member 330 on the bottom acts as a hinge. The storage section is provided with a fastener 320 as shown in FIG. 5, and a small storage chamber is provided. The storage section inside the bag can be configured in any way.

[0035] <Backpack> Next, a backpack as another embodiment of the luggage storage device will be described. Fig. 7 is an external perspective view of the backpack.
