Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0013] Figure 1 is a perspective view showing a person wearing the racing saddle bag according to the present invention. The present invention provides a racing saddle bag that effectively utilizes the saddle of a racehorse that is usually discarded. The racing saddle bag according to the present invention can be used as a container for shopping or the like, and can contribute to the development of the industry. According to the racing saddle bag of the present invention, since the saddle for racehorses is relatively lightweight and soft, it can provide a bag that is easy to use for the user of the racing saddle bag. In the figure, the saddle number is described on the racing saddle bag, but it is not limited to this. For example, the name of the horse may be further described.

[0014] Figure 2 is a plan view showing a method of manufacturing the racing saddle bag according to the present invention. In this method, the central part of the saddle of a racehorse is cut, the edges of the two cut saddles are sewn together to form a bag shape, and a small storage bag for putting small items is installed inside the bag to create a bag.

[0015] Figure 2(a) is a plan view of the saddle for racehorses used in the racing saddle bag according to the present invention. Figure 2(b) is a plan view of the first and second parts of the racehorse saddle shown in Figure 2(a) that have been cut. Figure 2(c) is a plan view of the main body part of the racing saddle bag created by sewing the first and second parts shown in Figure 2(b).

[0016] First, as shown in Figure 2(a), the central part (indicated by a broken line) of the racehorse saddle 10 is cut off. The two parts of the racing saddle bag thus cut are respectively referred to as the first part 11 and the second part 12. These first and second parts 11, 12 are shown in Figure 2(b). The first and second parts are configured symmetrically as shown in Figure 2(b).

[0017] Next, as shown in Fig. 2(c), the periphery of the first part 11 and the second part 12 is sewn together to form a bag shape. At this time, by sewing the periphery other than the upper side corresponding to the center line in the racing saddlecloth, it can be formed into a bag shape with an opening, and the main body part of the race saddlecloth bag can be made.

[0018] Fig. 3 is a plan view showing a small storage bag (also referred to as an inner pocket) installed inside the race saddlecloth bag according to the present invention. Fig. 3(a) is a side view showing the position of the inner pocket inside the main body part of the race saddlecloth bag. Fig. 3(b) is a side view showing the position and size of the hook-and-loop fastener installed on the inner pocket.

[0019] The race saddlecloth bag according to the present invention has a rounded side part and a straight side part without roundness, as shown in Fig. 3(a), from the shape of the racing saddlecloth 10. Inside this race saddlecloth bag, an inner pocket 20 capable of storing small items, for example, can be installed.

[0020] The inner pocket 20 is installed, for example, at a position about 2 cm from the end of the non-rounded side part of the race saddlecloth bag according to the present invention and about 8 cm from the opening of the race saddlecloth bag according to the present invention. The inner pocket 20 is formed, for example, in a rectangular shape. The inner pocket 20 can store about 20 credit cards or about 5 ballpoint pens, for example.

[0021] Also, hook-and-loop fasteners 21 are attached to both sides inside the inner pocket 20, as shown in Fig. 3(b). The hook-and-loop fastener 21 has a width of 1 cm, for example, and the inner pocket 20 is configured to be openable and closable. In this way, by closing the hook-and-loop fastener 21, the small items placed in the inner pocket 20 are configured not to fly out of the inner pocket.

[0022] FIG. 4 is an explanatory view showing the belt of the racing bib bag according to the present invention. The racing bib bag according to the invention includes, for example, a belt for hanging on a person's shoulder (see FIG. 1).

[0023] FIG. 4(a) shows the size and structure of the belt strings in the belt of the racing bib bag according to the present invention. FIG. 4(b) shows the attachment position of the belt to the opening of the racing bib bag. FIG. 4(c) shows the overall configuration of the belt in the racing bib bag. The belt in the racing bib bag includes, for example, as shown in FIG. 4(c), two belt strings and an attachment that can detachably attach the two belt strings.

[0024] In the belt 30, as shown in FIG. 4(a), the belt strings 31 and 32 are 100 cm in length and 3 cm in width. At one end of each of the belt strings 31 and 32, an attachment 33 is arranged that can adjust the length of the belt and enable connection.

[0025] As shown in FIG. 4(b), both ends of the belt 30 are tied to the opening of the racing bib bag 11. One ends of the two belt strings 31 and 32 in the belt are tied to the vicinity of the left and right ends of the opening of the racing bib bag, respectively. Attachments 33 are provided at the other ends of the belt strings 31 and 32 so that they can be connected to each other.

[0026] FIG. 4(c) shows a state in which the two belt strings 31 and 32 in the belt 30 are connected by the attachment 33. In the racing bib bag according to the present invention, as shown in FIG. 4(c), the two belt strings 31 and 32 connect the attachments 33 at both ends to form one belt 30.

[0027] FIG. 5 is an explanatory view showing the outline of the racing bib bag according to the present invention. FIG. 5 shows a state in which two belt strings per one belt, shown in FIG. 4(a), are sewn to the racing bib bag.

[0028] As shown in Fig. 5, the two belt strings 31 and 32 are joined at the center by an attachment 33. Further, as shown in Fig. 5 for example, the race saddlebag according to the present invention includes two belts 30. For example, one belt is provided in the first part 11 of the race saddlebag, and the other belt is provided in the second part 32. Each belt 30 has, for example, the structure described with reference to Fig. 4, and is configured to be adjustable in length.
