Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a mounting bracket and mounting structure for a handle for a bag, and more particularly to an improved technique for mounting a handle for a bag that enables a handbag to be used as a shoulder bag or backpack bag. [Background technology]

[0002] In recent years, in the field of business bags, bags that can be used in three ways, by hand, on the back, and over the shoulder, so-called 3-way bags, have become popular due to their ease of use, etc. As shown in Patent Documents 1 and 2, for example, this type of business bag has a handle on the top of the bag for carrying it by hand, and a strap for carrying it on the back (backpack strap) and a strap for carrying it over the shoulder (shoulder strap) on the back and sides of the bag, and the user can select either the handle, backpack strap, or shoulder strap depending on how they will use the bag.

[0003] Incidentally, some of these 3-way bags have detachable straps (backpack straps and shoulder straps). Figure 9 shows an example of a bag with detachable straps.

[0004] The bag a shown in FIG. 9 is a bag generally known as a "Dulles bag." As is well known, this type of bag a has a metal opening frame (a metal frame that acts as a reinforcing metal fitting) (not shown) at the top of the bag body b, and the top of the bag body b opens wide by opening this metal opening frame back and forth. In the case of bag a with a metal frame at the top like this, a handle c for carrying is attached to the metal frame at the top of bag a via mounting brackets d, d. If bag a is to be a three-way bag, the mounting brackets d, d are provided with strap attachment parts f to which backpack straps e or shoulder straps (not shown) can be attached and detached.

[0005] The strap attachment portion f is in the form of a through hole formed in the mounting bracket d, and a hook g provided on the end of a backpack strap e or a shoulder strap is attached to this through hole. Therefore, a user can use the bag a as a backpack bag by attaching a backpack strap e between the strap attachment portion f and the lower strap attachment portion h provided on the lower part of the bag body b. Also, by attaching a shoulder strap between the strap attachment portions f, f, the user can use the bag a as a shoulder bag. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0006] [Patent Document 1] Design Registration No. 1114201 [Patent Document 2] Design Registration No. 1080742 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0007] However, such conventional strap (backpack strap and shoulder strap) attachment structures have the following problems, and improvements thereto are desired.

[0008] That is, in the conventional strap mounting structure, the strap mounting portion f is in the form of a through hole provided in the mounting bracket d, so that the position of the upper end side of the backpack strap e attached to the strap mounting portion f is fixed. On the other hand, the mounting brackets d, d are arranged adjacent to the outside of the handle c due to their structure, so that it is structurally difficult to freely set the interval (left and right interval) between the mounting brackets d, d. Therefore, in the conventional strap mounting structure, the interval (the interval on the upper end side of the backpack strap e) cannot be adjusted to the user's body shape, and there are cases where the backpack strap is uncomfortable to wear. For example, for users with narrow shoulders such as women and children, the interval between the mounting brackets d, d is too wide, which tends to make the backpack feel loose, while for men with broad shoulders, the interval between the mounting brackets d, d is too narrow, which tends to make the backpack feel cramped.

[0009] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above-mentioned conventional problems, and its purpose is to provide a mounting bracket and mounting structure for a handle for a bag that has a structure that allows the attachment position of the backpack strap to be adjusted to suit the user's body shape, in a mounting bracket for a handle for carrying that can be attached with a backpack strap. [Means for solving the problem]

[0010] In order to achieve the above-mentioned objective, the mounting bracket for a handle for a bag according to the present invention is a bracket for attaching a handle and a strap to the top of a bag, and comprises a base plate to be attached to the bag, a first member having a handle attachment portion to which one end of the handle is attached, and a second member having a strap attachment portion to which the strap is attached, the second member comprising a tip end and a base end, and a long hole extending toward the tip side is formed in the base end, and a support shaft perpendicular to the base plate is inserted into this long hole, so that the tip end is attached to the base plate so as to be able to rotate horizontally around the axis of the support shaft and to move forward and backward along the long hole.

[0011] In this mounting bracket for a bag handle, the second member to which the strap is attached is attached to the base plate so that it can rotate horizontally and move forward and backward, so that when the bag to which this mounting bracket is attached is used as a backpack bag, the position of the backpack strap attached to the second member can be changed within the movable range of the second member. Therefore, with this mounting bracket for a bag handle, for example, the position and orientation of the upper end of the backpack strap can be fine-tuned to suit the user's body shape, allowing the backpack strap to fit the user's body shape.

[0012] The present invention has the following configuration as a preferred embodiment. (1) The second member is characterized in that the tip end is attached to the base end via a connecting mechanism so as to be swingable up and down, and the strap attachment portion is formed at the tip end.

[0013] According to this embodiment, the tip of the second member to which the strap is attached can swing up and down, so that, for example, when a bag to which the mounting bracket according to the present invention is attached is used as a backpack bag, the attachment angle of the upper end of the backpack strap can be freely adjusted, and the bag can be positioned to fit the user's back when worn on the back.

[0014] (2) The strap attachment portion is characterized in that it is in the form of a through hole formed in the tip portion. According to this embodiment, the strap attachment portion has an extremely simple structure of a through hole, so that the increase in manufacturing costs associated with the manufacture of the strap attachment portion can be minimized.

[0015] (3) The handle mounting portion is characterized by having a handle connecting mechanism that supports both ends of a connecting pin that is disposed so as to penetrate one end of the handle. In this embodiment, the carrying handle attached to the bag is attached at both ends to the handle attachment portion via connecting pins, allowing a certain degree of movement of the carrying handle around the connecting pin, so that the carrying handle can be connected to the bag without compromising usability.

[0016] (4) The handle connecting mechanism is characterized in that it is provided so as to be swingable about the axis of a second support shaft that is oriented perpendicular to the support shaft. According to this embodiment, the handle connecting mechanism is arranged to be swingable around the axis of a second support shaft oriented perpendicular to the support shaft perpendicular to the base plate, so that the carrying handle attached to the bag can swing in the front-to-back direction of the bag, improving the usability of the carrying handle.

[0017] In addition, the mounting structure for a bag handle of the present invention is a mounting structure for a handle that uses the mounting bracket for a bag handle described above, and is composed of a bag whose upper part is kept flat by a reinforcing bracket, and a pair of the mounting brackets, and the pair of mounting brackets are arranged in a straight line with one mounting bracket and the other mounting bracket at a predetermined distance in the longitudinal direction of the reinforcing bracket, and the distance between the strap attachment portion of the one mounting bracket and the strap attachment portion of the other mounting bracket can be adjusted by moving the second members of the one mounting bracket and the other mounting bracket forward and backward.

[0018] In a preferred embodiment, the mounting structure for a bag handle is characterized in that the reinforcing metal fitting is in the form of a mouth frame fitting which forms an openable and closable opening at the top of the bag. Effect of the Invention

[0019] According to the present invention, the mounting bracket for a handle for a bag comprises a base plate to be attached to the bag, a first member having a handle mounting portion to which one end of the handle is attached, and a second member having a strap mounting portion to which a strap is attached, the second member having a tip end and a base end, the base end having a long hole extending toward the tip end, a support shaft perpendicular to the base plate is inserted into the long hole, and the tip end is attached to the base plate so as to be horizontally rotatable around the axis of the support shaft and to be able to move forward and backward along the long hole, so that the backpack strap attached to the second member can change its position within the movable range of the second member. Therefore, the mounting bracket for a handle for a bag according to the present invention allows the position of the backpack strap to be finely adjusted to suit the user's body shape, and a backpack that fits the user's body shape can be provided.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0021] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. The bag handle mounting bracket 1 of this invention is primarily applied to bags whose upper parts are kept flat by reinforcing brackets, such as duffel bags and attaché cases, and is used to enable these types of bags to be used as handbags, backpacks, or shoulder bags.

[0022] Mounting bracket 1 is a bracket for attaching handle 110 and strap 120 to the top of bag 100 (see Figures 7 and 8), and as shown in Figure 1, comprises as its main parts a base plate 2 to be attached to bag 100, a first member 3 having a handle attachment portion 7 for attaching handle 110 for carrying, a second member 4 having a strap attachment portion 8 for attaching strap 120, and a first assembly member 5 and a second assembly member 6 for assembling first member 3 and second member 4 to base plate 2 in a specified structure.

[0023] The base plate 2 is a member constituting the base for assembling the first member 3 and the second member 4, and is composed of a single metal piece as shown in Fig. 2. In this embodiment, the base plate 2 is composed of a long and narrow metal plate cut into a substantially arc-shaped tip 2a side and a straight line-shaped base end 2b side, and has a plurality of through holes 21 (two in the illustrated example) formed at a predetermined interval in the longitudinal direction. The through holes 21 are insertion holes for fixing screws (not shown) used when attaching the base plate 2 to the bag 100, and fixing screws are inserted into the through holes 21 in a direction perpendicular to the base plate 2. These fixing screws form the support shaft for horizontal rotation of the second member 4 described later (details will be described later).

[0024] The first member 3 is a member to which one end of the handle 110 is attached, and is assembled onto the base plate 2 by a first assembly member 5 and a second assembly member 6. Specifically, as shown in Fig. 3, the first member 3 is composed of a metal part having a substantially Y-shape in side view, and its upper part serves as a handle attachment portion 7.

[0025] The handle attachment part 7 has a mechanism (handle connecting mechanism) for attaching the handle 110, and in this embodiment, it has a support structure that supports both ends of a handle connecting pin 71 (see FIG. 7) that is disposed so as to penetrate one end of the handle 110. Specifically, the handle attachment part 7 is mainly composed of a pair of handle support pieces 72, 72 that open forward and backward, handle connecting pin support holes 73, 73 (see FIGS. 3(a) and 3(c)) that are formed at the tip of each of the handle support pieces 72, 72, and a handle connecting pin 71 that is inserted between the handle connecting pin support holes 73, 73.

[0026] 3(b), the handle support pieces 72, 72 are arranged to form a generally U-shape with a substantially constant spacing near their upper ends, and handle connecting pin support holes 73 are provided facing each other near the upper ends of each handle support piece 72. The spacing L1 near the upper ends of the handle support pieces 72, 72 is set slightly wider than the width (length in the short direction) of the handle 110 so that one end of the handle 110 can be inserted between the handle support pieces 72, 72. For example, in this embodiment, the spacing L1 between the handle support pieces 72, 72 is set to 2 cm.

[0027] Meanwhile, a first member support hole 74 for supporting the first member 3 so as to be swingable in the front-rear direction (left-right direction in FIG. 3(b)) is formed in the lower part of the first member 3. A first member support shaft (second support shaft) 62, which will be described later, is inserted into the first member support hole 74, so that the first member 3 is swingable around the axis of the first member support shaft 62.

[0028] The second member 4 is a member having a strap attachment portion 8 for attaching the strap 120, and in this embodiment, as shown in Fig. 4, is made of a flat metal member having a substantially oval shape in a plan view. Specifically, the second member 4 is mainly composed of a tip portion 41 on the tip side and a base end portion 42 on the base end side, and the tip portion 41 is attached to the tip side of the base end portion 42 via a connecting pin 43 (connecting mechanism) so as to be swingable in the vertical direction (see arrow A in Fig. 1(a)). Note that, in this embodiment, the tip portion 41 is swingable up and down by approximately 90 degrees, as shown in Fig. 1.

[0029] The tip end 41 of the second member 4 is provided with a strap attachment portion 8. In this embodiment, the strap attachment portion 8 is in the form of a through hole 81 penetrating the tip end 41. Specifically, the through hole 81 is configured as a substantially circular hole, and a hook 122 provided on the strap 120 is engaged with the through hole 81 (details will be described later). Meanwhile, the base end 42 is formed with an elongated hole 44 extending from the base end side to the tip end side. The elongated hole 44 constitutes an insertion hole for the above-mentioned fixing screw, and the second member 4 is attached on the base plate 2 so as to be horizontally rotatable around the axis of the support shaft (see arrow B in FIG. 1(b)) and to be able to move forward and backward along the longitudinal direction of the elongated hole 44 (see arrow C in FIG. 1(a)) using the fixing screw as a support shaft.

[0030] The first assembly member 5 is a member that assembles the second member 4 to the base plate 2 and cooperates with the second assembly member 6 to assemble the first member 3 to the base plate 2, and is made of a metal member having an elongated, approximately dome-shaped outer shape as shown in Fig. 5. Specifically, the first assembly member 5 mainly comprises a substantially hollow outer shell portion 51, a screw hole portion 52 provided vertically inside the outer shell portion 51, and a bearing hole portion 53 into which the first member support shaft 62 of the second assembly member 6 is fitted.

[0031] As shown in Fig. 5(a) to Fig. 5(d), the outer shell 51 is in a substantially box-like shape with an open bottom, a rounded tip 5a, and a flat base 5b. The screw hole 52 is made of a cylindrical member having a screw groove formed on an inner circumferential surface 52a to be screwed with the fixing screw described above, and a step 52b that fits with the through hole 21 of the base plate 2 is formed on the outer periphery of the opening (lower end) side of the screw hole. Therefore, the first assembly member 5 is positioned at a predetermined position on the base plate 2 by fitting the step 52b into the through hole 21 of the base plate 2, and the screw hole of the screw hole 52 is exposed to the outside of the base plate 2.

[0032] The bearing hole portion 53 is a hole provided in the side wall 54 on the base end 5b side of the outer shell portion 51, and the first member support shaft 62 of the second assembly member 6 is fitted into this hole. The side wall 54 has a height dimension set so that the end face 54a on the lower end side abuts against the upper surface of the base plate 2 when the step portion 52b of the screw hole portion 52 is fitted into the through hole 21 of the base plate 2. In this way, the end face 54a on the lower end side of the side wall 54 abuts against the base plate 2, so that the first assembly member 5 is stably disposed on the base plate 2. In addition, a rectangular notch portion 54b that fits with a positioning protrusion portion 63 of the second assembly member 6 described later is formed in the center of the lower end side of the side wall 54.

[0033] The second assembly member 6 is a member that cooperates with the first assembly member 5 to assemble the first member 3 to the base plate 2, and is made of a metal member having an external shape as shown in Fig. 6(e). This second assembly member 6 mainly comprises a substantially box-shaped main body 61, a first member support shaft 62 protruding from a left side surface 61a of the main body 61, a positioning protrusion 63 that protrudes from the left side surface 61a of the main body 61 similarly to the first member support shaft 62, and a second screw hole 64 provided on the inside of the main body 61.

[0034] As shown in FIG. 6(b), the main body 61 is made of a hollow member, and the second screw hole 64 is disposed vertically downward inside the main body 61. The second screw hole 64 is made of a cylindrical member having a screw groove formed on an inner circumferential surface 64a to be screwed with the fixing screw, similar to the screw hole 52 of the first assembly member 5 described above. The outer diameter of the second screw hole 64 is set to fit into the through hole 21 of the base plate 2, and the end portion on the lower end side is disposed so as to protrude slightly downward from the lower end of the main body 61. Therefore, the second assembly member 6 is positioned at a predetermined position on the base plate 2 by fitting the lower end of the second screw hole 64 protruding from the lower end of the main body 61 into the through hole 21 of the base plate 2, and the screw hole of the second screw hole 64 is exposed to the outside of the base plate 2.

[0035] The first member support shaft 62 is a cylindrical shaft having an outer diameter capable of fitting into the first member support hole 74 of the first member 3 described above, and its length dimension is set to a length that allows the tip portion 62a to fit into the bearing hole portion 53 of the first assembly member 5 when the second assembly member 6 is placed in a predetermined position (position determined by the second screw hole portion 64) on the base plate 2. This first member support shaft 62 is disposed in a direction perpendicular to the fixing screw inserted into the second member 4, and the first member 3 is assembled to the base plate 2 so as to be swingable with this first member support shaft 62 as a swing fulcrum (second support shaft).

[0036] The positioning protrusion 63 is a portion that functions as a spacer to ensure a gap with the side wall 54 on the base end 5b side of the first assembly member 5 when the second assembly member 6 is assembled, and is configured with a substantially rectangular parallelepiped protrusion main body 63a and a fitting convex portion 63b provided on the tip side of the protrusion main body 63a, as shown in Fig. 6(b) to Fig. 6(e). Then, as described later, when the second assembly member 6 is assembled to the base plate 2, the fitting convex portion 63b is fitted into the notch portion 54b of the side wall 54 of the first assembly member 5, so that the protrusion main body 63a functions as a spacer interposed between the first assembly member 5 and the second assembly member 6, and the positioning of the second assembly member 6 is facilitated.

[0037] Next, the attachment of the mounting bracket 1 constituted by such members to the bag 100 will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0038] 7 and 8 show the case where a Dulles bag is used as bag 100. As mentioned above, a Dulles bag is a bag that is equipped with a metal mouth frame (reinforcing metal fitting) (not shown) at an openable and closable opening at the top of bag 100, and by closing the metal mouth frame, the top of bag 100 is kept flat. Mounting metal fitting 1 is used to attach handle 110 for carrying to this metal mouth frame, and in particular to the metal mouth frame that is positioned on the outside when the opening is closed.

[0039] Specifically, as shown in Fig. 7, the carrying handle 110 is attached using a pair of mounting brackets 1, 1. In this attachment, one mounting bracket 1 and the other mounting bracket 1 are arranged in a straight line at a predetermined interval (the interval corresponding to the length dimension of the handle 110) in the longitudinal direction of the mouth frame bracket so that the second assembly members 6 of the pair of mounting brackets 1, 1 face each other.

[0040] To attach each mounting bracket 1 to a mouth frame fitting, first place the base plate 2 at the mounting position (predetermined position) on the mouth frame fitting. At this time, the mouth frame fitting has mouth frame through holes (not shown) formed at positions corresponding to the through holes 21, 21 of the base plate 2 for inserting fixing screws, so the positions of the through holes 21, 21 of the base plate 2 are aligned with the mouth frame through holes.

[0041] Next, a fixing screw is inserted into the mouth frame through hole and through hole 21 from the underside of the mouth frame metal fitting. At this time, the long hole 44 of the second member 4 is overlapped with the through hole 21 on the tip 2a side of the base plate 2 to communicate the mouth frame through hole, the through hole 21 on the tip 2a side, and the long hole 44, and a fixing screw is inserted therefrom from the mouth frame through hole side, and the tip of the fixing screw is screwed into the screw hole portion 52 of the first assembly member 5. As a result, the second member 4 is attached to the mouth frame metal fitting so that it can rotate horizontally with the fixing screw as a fulcrum (see arrow B in FIG. 1(b)) and can move forward and backward along the long hole 44 (see arrow C in FIG. 1(a)). At this time, a spacer for smooth horizontal rotation of the second member 4 may be interposed between the second member 4 and the base plate 2 and / or between the second member 4 and the first assembly member 5.

[0042] When the assembly of the second member 4 by the first assembly member 5 is completed, the assembly of the first member 3 by the second assembly member 6 is next performed. That is, the second assembly member 6 is assembled to the first assembly member 5 and the base plate 2 in a state in which the tip of the first member support shaft 62 of the second assembly member 6 is fitted into the first member support hole 74 of the first member 3. Specifically, while fitting the fitting protrusion 63b of the second assembly member 6 into the cutout portion 54b of the first assembly member 5, the through hole 21 on the base end 2b side of the base plate 2 and the mouth frame through hole are overlapped to make the mouth frame through hole and the through hole 21 on the base end 2b side in a communication state, a fixing screw is inserted from the mouth frame through hole side, and the tip of the fixing screw is screwed into the second screw hole portion 64 of the second assembly member 6. As a result, the first member 3 is attached to the mouth frame metal fitting so as to be swingable in the front-rear direction around the axis of the first member support shaft 62.

[0043] The bag 100 to which the mounting brackets 1,1 are attached in this manner can be used as a hand bag by grasping the handle 110 for carrying. When used as a shoulder bag, a shoulder strap (strap 120) (not shown) can be attached to each of the strap attachment parts 8,8 of the pair of mounting brackets 1,1, so that the bag 100 can be used as a shoulder bag. When used as a backpack bag, as shown in FIG. 8, a backpack strap 121 (strap 120) can be attached between the strap attachment parts 8,8 of the mounting brackets 1,1 and the lower strap attachment parts 130,130 provided at the lower part of the bag 100, so that the bag 100 can be used as a backpack bag. The strap 120 is attached to the strap attachment parts 8 and / or the lower strap attachment parts 130 by a hook 122 provided at the end of the strap 120. That is, the strap 120 is removably attached to the strap attachment portion 8 and / or the lower strap attachment portion 130 by the hook 122 .

[0044] Thus, according to the mounting bracket 1 of the present invention, the mounting bracket for attaching the bag handle 110 comprises a base plate 2 to be attached to the bag, a first member 3 having a handle attachment portion 7 to which one end of the handle 110 is attached, and a second member 4 having a strap attachment portion 8 to which the strap 120 is attached. The second member 4 comprises a tip end 41 and a base end 42. A long hole 44 extending toward the tip side is formed in the base end 42. A support shaft perpendicular to the base plate 2 is inserted into this long hole 44, so that the tip end 41 is attached to the base plate 2 so as to be horizontally rotatable around the axis of the support shaft and to be able to move forward and backward along the long hole 44. Therefore, when the bag 100 is used as a backpack bag, the position of the backpack strap attached to the second member 4 can be changed within the movable range of the second member 4. This bag handle mounting bracket allows the position and orientation of the upper end of the backpack strap to be fine-tuned to suit the user's body shape, allowing the backpack strap to fit the user's body shape.

[0045] For example, for a user with broad shoulders, the feeling of tightness when carrying the backpack can be alleviated by moving the second member 4 forward to widen the gap between the upper ends of the backpack straps 121, 121. Conversely, for a user with narrow shoulders, the feeling of looseness when carrying the backpack can be reduced by moving the second member 4 backward to narrow the gap between the upper ends of the backpack straps 121, 121.

[0046] Furthermore, because the tip 41 of the second member 4 can swing up and down, for example, when the bag to which the mounting bracket 1 is attached is used as a backpack bag, the attachment angle of the upper end of the backpack strap can be freely adjusted. As a result, the bag can be adjusted to a position that fits the user's back when worn on the back.

[0047] It should be noted that the above-described embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to these, and various design modifications are possible within the scope of the present invention.

[0048] For example, in the above-described embodiment, a Dulles bag is used as the bag 100 to which the mounting bracket 1 is attached, but bag 100 can also be applied to bags other than Dulles bags, such as attaché cases, as long as the bag has a configuration in which the upper part is kept flat by the reinforcing bracket.

[0049] In addition, in the above-described embodiment, the first assembly member 5 is formed in an elongated, approximately dome-like shape, and the second assembly member 6 is formed in an approximately box-like shape. However, as long as these have a structure that allows the first member 3 and the second member 4 to be assembled, their external shapes can be appropriately changed as part of the design of the mounting bracket 1.

[0050] In addition, in the above-described embodiment, the handle attachment portion 7 of the first member 3 is configured with a handle connecting mechanism that supports both ends of a handle connecting pin (connecting pin) 71 that is arranged to penetrate one end of the handle 110, but it is also possible to connect the handle 110 using a structure other than a connecting pin as long as the structure is capable of attaching the handle 110.
