[0004] [Patent Document 1] Utility model registration No. 3246891 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] When using the above-mentioned bag-cum-apron as an apron, when one handle is hung around the neck, the other handle hangs down at the feet, which makes the hanging handle prone to getting caught on other objects, creating a safety problem. Also, the hanging handle makes the bag look unattractive.

[0006] To provide an apron / bag combination that can be changed in shape between a bag and an apron, does not get caught on other objects when used as an apron, and looks good. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The apron / bag of the present invention is configured to be transformed into a bag by folding the main sheet that constitutes the apron and closing the opening and closing members on both sides, and is characterized in that it has a neck hanging / handling portion provided on one edge of the main sheet and constituting a neck hanging portion and a holding portion, and a locking portion provided on the other edge of the main sheet and locking to the one edge of the main sheet when the apron is transformed into the bag, thereby closing the opening of the bag.

[0008] The apron / bag configuration described above includes a main body sheet that constitutes an apron, and can be used as an apron by hanging the neck hanging / handle part around the neck. The main body sheet can be folded and the opening / closing members provided on both sides are closed to change the shape into a bag (tote bag). In this case, the neck hanging / handle part that constitutes the neck hanging part and the handle part is provided on one edge side of the main body sheet, and a locking part that closes the opening of the bag when the bag is changed into the shape of a bag is provided on the other edge side of the main body sheet. The locking part has a function of being locked to one edge side of the main body sheet to close the opening, and does not have a function as a gripping part, so it does not hang down from the other edge side of the main body sheet, and other objects are not caught or the appearance is not deteriorated.

[Figure 4] FIG. 1(a) is a diagram showing a second embodiment, illustrating how the apron is transformed into a bag; FIG. 1(b) is a diagram showing a third embodiment, illustrating how the apron is transformed into a bag; DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0011] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the bag / apron according to the present invention will be described. 1 to 3 are diagrams showing a first embodiment of a bag / apron.

[0012] The bag / apron 1 of this embodiment includes a main body sheet 5 that constitutes an apron 3 and a bag 4. The main body sheet 5 has a shape (approximately trapezoidal) that gradually becomes wider from the top to the bottom, and has a length that covers from the chest area to the knee area when used as an apron.

[0013] A belt-like neck hanging part 6 is attached to one end edge 5A (upper end edge) of the main body sheet 5 to be worn around the neck when used as the apron 3, and both ends of the neck hanging part are attached by adhesion or sewing to the back side of the one end edge 5A at a certain interval. Note that the neck hanging part 6 forms a grip part (handle) when the bag is transformed into the bag 4, as described later, and is therefore referred to as the neck hanging / grip part 6 in the following description.

[0014] The neck hanging / handling part 6 configured in the shape of a belt may be provided with a known length adjustment mechanism 7 so that its length can be adjusted. The main body sheet 5 may be formed with a pocket 8 so that small items can be stored therein. The pocket 8 in this embodiment is formed so as to be exposed to the outside when the bag 4 is transformed into the bag, but it may be formed so as to be exposed to the outside when the bag 4 is transformed into the apron 3. Furthermore, by making a valley fold on the front side (the side that will get dirty) of the apron 3, when the bag 4 is transformed into the bag, the front side of the apron 3 becomes the inside of the bag. Therefore, even if dirty items (boots, small fishing gear, etc.) are stored in the bag 4, the dirt is not noticeable.

[0015] A locking portion 10 is provided on the other end edge 5B side (lower end edge side) of the main body sheet 5, which is locked to one end edge 5A side of the main body sheet 5 and closes the opening 5C of the bag when the apron 3 is transformed into the bag 4. This locking portion 10 does not function as a gripping portion, and does not hang down from the other end edge side of the main body sheet 5.

[0016] The fastening portion 10 in this embodiment is composed of a belt-shaped member 10A that is sewn to the other end edge 5B of the main sheet 5 so as not to hang down from the other end edge 5B, so that the neck hanging / grip portion 6 can be inserted therethrough. That is, as shown in FIG. 3(e), the belt-shaped member 10A extends in the left-right direction, and both ends are fastened to the back surface of the other end edge 5B of the main sheet 5. As shown in Figs. 1(a) and (b), the length is set so that it does not hang down from the other end edge 5B.

[0017] The main body sheet 5 can be changed into the bag 4 by folding the central portion (line L1 in FIG. 3(e)) and overlapping the edges 5A, 5B. In this case, as described above, the main body sheet 5 is formed in a substantially trapezoidal shape, so that when folded at line L1, both sides on the lower side (outside line L2 in FIG. 3(e)) become substantially right-angled triangular and protrude on both sides from the overlapping portion (in the figure, the protruding parts on both sides are indicated by reference numerals 5a and 5b).

[0018] The outer edge of the protruding portion 5a is provided with a fastener 12a constituting an opening / closing member, and the outer edge of the main body sheet 5 on the same side is provided with a fastener 12b continuing in a straight line from the fastener 12a. The outer edge of the protruding portion 5b is provided with a fastener 13a constituting an opening / closing member, and the outer edge of the main body sheet 5 on the same side is provided with a fastener 13b continuing in a straight line from the fastener 13a.

[0019] When the fasteners 12a, 12b and 13a, 13b are closed, the bag changes from the apron 3 to the bag 4, and the neck hanging / grip portion 6 functions as a handle. That is, in the bag state, the bag has only one handle. It is preferable that the fasteners 12a, 12b and 13a, 13b are configured such that the operating piece 15 of each fastener is positioned at the opening 5C of the bag when the bag changes into the bag 4.

[0020] Furthermore, the main body sheet 5 is provided with a tightening belt 20 so that the storage section of the bag can be tightened from the circumferential direction when the bag is transformed into the bag 4. Such tightening belt 20 is fastened to the main body sheet 5 so as to surround the storage section of the bag, and can be attached, detached, and tightened using a known buckle structure 21 and length adjustment mechanism 22, thereby stabilizing the state of the items stored in the storage section. Furthermore, the tightening belt 20 tightens the storage section into a loop shape, thereby reinforcing the bag 4.

[0021] Next, a method of using the above-mentioned bag / apron 1 will be described. When the main body sheet 5 is spread out as shown in Fig. 3(e), it can be used as an apron 3 as shown in Fig. 1(a)(b). In this case, the apron is formed by hanging the neck-hanging / handling part 6 around the neck, and the pocket 8 is located on the inner side (closer to the human body).

[0022] The neck hanging / handling part 6 is a single member, and the fastening part 10, which is a belt-shaped member 10A, is disposed on the back side of the main body sheet 5, extends in the left-right direction, and both ends are fastened to the other edge side of the main body sheet. In this way, the belt-shaped member 10A is sewn so as not to hang down from the other edge 5B of the main body sheet 5, and when used as an apron, it does not hang down from the other edge 5B side of the main body sheet 5, and other objects will not get caught or the appearance will not be deteriorated. In particular, by forming the fastening part 10 from the belt-shaped member 10A and fastening both ends to the back side of the main body sheet 5, it is possible to reliably prevent the belt-shaped member 10A from hanging down.

[0023] When used as an apron, the above-mentioned fastening belt 20 can be used as a waist belt that is wrapped around the waist.

[0024] The above-mentioned apron 3 can be transformed into a bag (tote bag) 4 as shown in Figs. 2(a) to (c). When changing the shape into a bag, the main body sheet 5 is folded at the center (line L1 in FIG. 3(e)) to overlap the end edges 5A and 5B. Then, as shown in the order of FIG. 3(d), (c), (b), and (a), the protruding parts 5a and 5b on both sides of the main body sheet 5 are folded at the part of line L2 in FIG. 4, and the fasteners 12a, 12b and 13a, 13b are overlapped.

[0025] Then, the operation pieces 15 of the fasteners 12a, 12b and 13a, 13b are slid upward to close the fastener portions. At this time, the operation pieces 15 are positioned on the opening 5C side, so that the items contained in the bag 4 are prevented from being damaged.

[0026] After closing the fastener, the neck hanging / grip portion 6 is bundled and inserted into the fastening portion 10 (strip-shaped member 10A) located on one edge 5A side of the main body sheet 5 (FIG. 3(b)). By inserting the neck hanging / grip portion 6 into the fastening portion 10 (strip-shaped member 10A) of the folded-back portion of the main body sheet in this manner, the base end side of the neck hanging / grip portion 6 is fastened as shown in FIGS. 2(a) and (b), and the opening 5C of the bag is closed to prevent items in the storage portion from flying out.

[0027] At this time, by tightening the fastening belt 20 (FIG. 2(b)), it is possible to stabilize the state of the items contained in the container.

[0028] Next, another embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the following embodiment, the same parts as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

[0029] Fig. 4(a) is a diagram showing the second embodiment, and shows how the apron is transformed into a bag. The fastening parts 10 in this embodiment are provided on one edge 5A side and the other edge 5B side of the main body sheet 5, and are constituted by hooks 10B that close the opening 5C when the bag is transformed into a bag 4. The hooks 10B are provided at two locations at a fixed interval on the inner surface of both ends, but the number of hooks is not limited. The hooks may be of a button type.

[0030] According to this configuration, the structure of the locking portion is simplified and it is possible to reliably prevent the locking portion from getting caught on other objects. Also, by providing hooks on both ends of the opening 5C, it is possible to improve the closing state of the opening 5C.

[0031] 4(b) is a diagram showing a third embodiment, illustrating the state in which the apron is transformed into a bag. The fastening portion 10 in this embodiment is configured with a cutout portion 10C provided on the other end edge 5B side of the main body sheet 5. When the bag 4 is transformed into a bag, the neck hanging / handle portion 6 is inserted through this cutout portion 10C to close the opening 5C.

[0032] According to such a configuration, it is only necessary to form the notch, and there is no need to provide a separate member as the locking portion 10, which makes it possible to reduce costs.

[0033] Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment and can be configured, for example, as follows. The main body sheet 5 constituting the above-mentioned bag apron is preferably constructed by overlapping two pieces of fabric.

[0034] In this configuration, the strength is improved compared to a single sheet, and the seam allowance of the fastener etc. can be finished neatly. In other words, by making it into two sheets, the ends of the neck hanging / grip part 6 and the tightening belt 20 can be sandwiched and sewn between the sheets, and the fastening part can be finished neatly. Furthermore, when it is used, for example, when it is taken to fishing, it can be used as a bag 4 for storing small items, and at the same time, it can be used as an apron 3 when filleting the fish caught at the fishing spot. Therefore, the surface of the apron 3 can be made of a water-repellent material, and each of the two sheets can be made of an appropriate material.

[0035] In addition, when the above-mentioned main body sheet 5 is transformed into a bag, the configuration of the storage section can be appropriately modified. For example, it may be configured to have a plate-shaped bottom or to have gussets on both sides. [Explanation of symbols]
