Background Art
[0002] In recent years, due to the intense heat caused by global warming, the sea water temperature has been warmed, making clouds more likely to form, and it has become a problem that floods such as sudden heavy rain and precipitation often occur. When carrying a bag during such heavy rain or precipitation, there is a risk that water will enter the inside of the bag, and the contents stored in the bag may be damaged due to the inside of the bag being flooded. Therefore, in order to prevent the inside of the bag from being flooded during sudden heavy rain or precipitation, waterproof bags having waterproof performance have been intensively studied.
[0003] As such a waterproof bag, for example, in Patent Document 1 (conventional example), as shown in FIG. 9, there is provided a bag-shaped rucksack body 102 made of waterproof fabric, and a pair of left and right shoulder straps 103 connected to the upper and lower parts of the back surface portion 102B of the rucksack body 102.

Summary of the Invention
Problems to be Solved by the Invention
[0007] However, in the disaster prevention type backpack 100 disclosed in Patent Document 1, although nylon or polyester materials are used as the fabric of the backpack body 102 to ensure waterproof performance, on a day with strong sunlight and high humidity such as a sweltering day, heat tends to accumulate inside and on the back of the backpack body 102, and there is room for improvement in the discomfort of the user.
[0008] In addition, since the backpack body 102 cannot block sunlight, there is a possibility that the contents will get sunburned or the user will also get sunburned.
[0009] The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and while ensuring waterproof performance to prevent the accommodation part from being flooded during heavy rain or precipitation, further suppressing the accumulation of heat in the accommodation part and the back due to sunlight and the transmission of sunlight, The purpose is to provide a waterproof bag that improves the user's feeling of use and prevents the contents and the user from getting sunburned.
Means for Solving the Problems
[0010] The waterproof bag according to claim 1, which is made to solve the above problems, has a bag-shaped storage part with an open end, and a bag body whose outer peripheral surface is made of a waterproof fabric having waterproof properties. It also includes a waterproof fastener for opening and closing the open end of the storage part, and a pair of shoulder straps connected vertically on the back of the bag body and attached to the user's shoulders. In a usage state where the bag body is attached to the back via the pair of shoulder straps and the open end is sealed with the waterproof fastener to prevent water from the outside from entering the storage part, the waterproof fabric has a white polyurethane film with light-shielding properties. In the usage state, it reflects light from the outside with the white polyurethane film and suppresses light from passing through to the storage part and the user.
[0011] According to this waterproof bag, the waterproof fabric has a white polyurethane film with light-shielding properties. In the usage state, it reflects light from the outside with the white polyurethane film and suppresses light from passing through to the storage part and the user. Therefore, while ensuring the waterproof performance of suppressing water intrusion from the outside by the waterproof fabric, the light-shielding performance can suppress sunlight from passing through the bag body. For this reason, it can suppress the temperature of the storage part and the back of the bag body from rising due to sunlight passing through the bag body, improve the user's usage feeling, and prevent sunburn of the stored items and the user.
[0012] The waterproof bag according to claim 2, wherein the accommodating portion has a first accommodating portion located on the back side where the shoulder belt is formed, and a second accommodating portion located outside the first accommodating portion, and the waterproof fastener has a first waterproof fastener for opening and closing a first opening end portion of the first accommodating portion, and a second waterproof fastener for opening and closing a second opening end portion of the second accommodating portion. In the second accommodating portion, there are a pair of expansion elements located on both sides so as to sandwich the second waterproof fastener and formed over the outer periphery of the second accommodating portion, and an expansion slider for engaging or disengaging the pair of expansion elements. By the user operating the expansion slider, an expansion waterproof fastener is formed that can switch between a reduced state in which the pair of expansion elements are engaged to reduce the second accommodating portion and an expanded state in which the pair of expansion elements are disengaged to expand the second accommodating portion.
[0013] According to this waterproof bag, the second accommodating portion has a pair of expansion elements located on both sides so as to sandwich the second waterproof fastener and formed over the outer periphery of the second accommodating portion, and an expansion slider for engaging or disengaging the pair of expansion elements. By the user operating the expansion slider, an expansion waterproof fastener is formed that can switch between a reduced state in which the pair of expansion elements are engaged to reduce the second accommodating portion and an expanded state in which the pair of expansion elements are disengaged to expand the second accommodating portion. Therefore, when there are many items to be accommodated, the volume of the second accommodating portion can be increased by opening the expansion waterproof fastener, and more items can be accommodated. When there are few items to be accommodated, the items can be pressed together inside the second accommodating portion by closing the expansion waterproof fastener, and it is possible to suppress the movement of the items inside the bag body during exercise or the like.
[0014] In addition, since the extended waterproof fastener is provided so as to sandwich the second waterproof fastener, by closing the extended waterproof fastener in addition to closing the second waterproof fastener, a double structure of the waterproof fastener is formed, and flooding of the storage part due to sudden heavy rain or precipitation is further suppressed, thereby improving the user experience.
[0015] Furthermore, in the extended state, since the volume of the second storage part increases, the air layer up to the first storage part can be enlarged to improve the heat insulation property. Therefore, the temperature rise of the second storage part is further suppressed, and the temperature rise of the user's back is further suppressed, thereby improving the comfort of the user and also preventing the stored items and the user from getting sunburned.
[0016] The waterproof bag according to claim 3 is characterized in that in the first storage part, a storage wall is formed at the side of the first opening end part, and a storage space for storing items is formed between the storage wall and the first waterproof fastener. The first waterproof fastener includes a pair of elements formed at the first opening end part, a slider that engages or disengages the pair of elements to open and close the first opening end part, and an opening / closing slider that engages or disengages the pair of elements, is located closer to the storage wall side than the slider, and opens and closes the entrance / exit of the items into and out of the storage space.
[0017] According to this waterproof bag, a storage wall is formed in the first storage part, and the first waterproof fastener has a slider for opening and closing the first opening end part and an opening / closing slider that is located closer to the storage wall side than the slider and opens and closes the entrance / exit of the items into and out of the storage part. Therefore, since the opening / closing slider is provided for the pair of elements separately from the normal slider, the normal slider can be located in a convenient position for opening and closing the first opening end part, and the opening / closing slider can be located closer to the storage wall side and used independently for opening and closing the storage wall, thereby improving the convenience for the user.
Effect of the Invention
[0018] As described above, according to the waterproof bag of the present invention, the waterproof fabric has a white polyurethane film with light-shielding properties. In the state of use, the light from the outside is reflected by the white polyurethane film, suppressing the light from passing through the contents in the accommodation part and to the back. Therefore, while ensuring the waterproof performance, it is possible to suppress the intrusion of sunlight into the bag body, suppress the rise in the temperature of the accommodation part and the back surface of the bag body due to the intrusion of sunlight, improve the user's feeling of use, and also prevent the contents and the user from getting sunburned.

[0039] The fourth inner pocket 18 is integrally formed with the third inner pocket 17 with its upper end open. Small electronic devices such as smartphones and chargers, etc., as well as other items 5 can be accommodated in this fourth inner pocket 18.
[0040] Also, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 6, the bag body 10 includes a fabric 11 that constitutes the bag body 10, a plurality of buckles 12 provided to engage the back side and the front side of the fabric 11, an outer storage portion 13 provided on the left side surface of the fabric 11, a back storage pocket 19 with an open upper portion on the back of the fabric 11, a back right storage pocket 20 that opens on the right side (positive X-axis direction) on the back of the fabric 11, a back left storage pocket 21 that opens on the left side (negative X-axis direction) on the back of the fabric 11, and a front storage pocket 22 with an open upper portion on the front.
[0041] The fabric 11 has a waterproof fabric 11A that covers the front (positive Y-axis direction), both side surfaces (X-axis direction), and the upper and lower surfaces (Z-axis direction), and a back fabric 11B that covers the back (negative Y-axis direction).
[0042] For the waterproof fabric 11A, a material that can ensure light-shielding, heat-shielding, and water pressure resistance is used. Also, a material with additional functions such as UV cut (ultraviolet shielding property) and wind resistance can be used as needed. In this embodiment, "Magical Harmony 'Crocky'" (MH-9600) manufactured by Masuda Co., Ltd. is used as such a material.
[0043] This waterproof fabric 11A is composed of a three-layer structure having a front layer 11A1, an intermediate layer (not shown) disposed inside the front layer 11A1, and a back layer 11A2 disposed further inside the intermediate layer.
[0044] Since the front layer 11A1 is exposed to air, moisture, and ultraviolet rays, a polyester material is used to suppress deterioration. Furthermore, it is preferable to use a black material to improve heat absorption.
[0045] For the intermediate layer (not shown), a white polyurethane film is used to reflect light from the outside. Since the intermediate layer is composed of a white polyurethane film, light from the outside is reflected by the white polyurethane film, suppressing the transmission of light to the accommodating portions (the first accommodating portion 10A, the second accommodating portion 10B, the third accommodating portion 10C) and the user 6.
[0046] Preferably, the back layer 11A2 is made of a polyurethane film.
[0047] By configuring the waterproof fabric 11A in such a three-layer structure of the front layer 11A1, the intermediate layer, and the back layer 11A2, it is possible to ensure a light-shielding property of 99.99% according to the JIS L 1055A method, an ultraviolet shielding rate of 99% according to the Kaken method, a heat insulation property with a temperature drop of 4°C according to the reflamp method, a water pressure resistance of 20,000 mmHg, and a windproof property.
[0048] The back fabric 11B is a fabric that contacts the back of the user 6 when the user 6 wears it, and a material that absorbs and evaporates the sweat of the user 6 and cools by the heat of vaporization is used. Furthermore, other functions such as appropriate stretchability and a UV cut function may be added to the back fabric 11B in addition to such a cooling effect.
[0049] In this embodiment, “Spray Stretch” (UT-132) manufactured by Masuda Co., Ltd. is used as the material for such a back fabric 11B. By using this material, the sweat of the user 6 is absorbed, and the evaporation accelerating fiber on the fabric surface accelerates evaporation to obtain an effect of taking away heat and lowering the temperature.
[0050] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the buckle 12 is composed of a female buckle 12A and a male buckle 12B.

When storing the object 5, the fastener 13A is opened, and after placing the object 5 in the outer storage portion 13, the fastener 13A is closed, so that the object 5 can be stored in the outer storage portion 13.
[0055] In addition, a drain port (not shown) for discharging water is formed at the lower end of the outer storage portion 13. When storing a wet object 5 such as an umbrella in the outer storage portion 13, water can be discharged from this drain port.
[0056] The back storage pocket 19 is formed in a substantially rectangular shape so that a commercially available cold pack can be stored. The user 6 can store a commercially available cold pack or the like in this back storage pocket 19 to cool the back on sweltering days and further improve the comfort.
[0057] Since the right back storage pocket 20 and the left back storage pocket 21 are located at the right and left flanks of the user 6 during use, the user 6 can store an object 5 such as a wallet in these right back storage pocket 20 and left back storage pocket 21 while wearing the bag body 10.
[0058] By storing the contents 5 such as a wallet in the rear right storage pocket 20 and the rear left storage pocket 21 formed on these rear sides, even when the waterproof bag 1 is carried on the back, it is possible to prevent a person other than the user 6 from opening from the back and taking out the stored contents 5 inside.

In the use state, the light from the outside is reflected by the white polyurethane film, and the light is suppressed from passing through the objects in the accommodating parts 10A, 10B, 10C and the back. Therefore, while ensuring the waterproof performance of suppressing the intrusion of water from the outside by the waterproof fabric 11A, it is possible to suppress the sunlight from passing through the bag body 10 by the light-shielding performance. For this reason, it is possible to suppress the temperature of the accommodating parts 10A, 10B, 10C and the back surface of the bag body 10 from rising due to the sunlight passing through the bag body 10, improve the comfort of the user 6, and prevent the contents 5 and the user 6 from being sunburned.
[0084] Further, the expandable waterproof fastener 40 has a pair of elements 41 provided across the outer periphery of the bag body 10 with the second waterproof fastener 30 sandwiched therebetween, and a slider 42 for engaging the pair of elements 41. By engaging the pair of elements 41 with the slider 42 to reduce the first accommodating part 10B, when there are a lot of contents 5, the volume of the second accommodating part 10B can be increased by opening the expandable waterproof fastener 40, and more contents 5 can be accommodated. When there are few contents 5, by closing the expandable waterproof fastener 40, the contents 5 are crimped in the second accommodating part 10B, and it is possible to suppress the movement of the contents 5 during exercise or the like.
[0085] Furthermore, since the second waterproof fastener 30 is provided inside the expandable waterproof fastener 40, by closing the expandable waterproof fastener 40 further with the second waterproof fastener 30 closed, a double structure of the waterproof fastener is formed, and the immersion of the second accommodating part 10B due to sudden heavy rain or precipitation is further suppressed, so that the comfort of the user 6 can be improved.
[0086] Furthermore, in the expanded state of the second storage portion 10B, the volume of the second storage portion 10B increases, so that the air layer up to the first storage portion 10A can be enlarged to improve the heat insulation property. Therefore, the temperature rise of the second storage portion 10B is further suppressed, and the temperature rise of the back of the user 6 is further suppressed, thereby improving the comfort of the user 6 and also preventing the stored item 5 and the user 6 from getting sunburned.
[0087] Moreover, since the first waterproof fastener 50 is provided with an opening / closing slider 52 separately from the sliders 53 and 54 for a pair of elements 51, the first opening end portion 10A1 adjacent to the storage wall 14 can be opened by operating only the opening / closing slider 52. For this reason, the sliders 53 and 54 and the opening / closing slider 52 can be operated independently, and the stored item 5 can be stored in the storage wall 14 by operating the opening / closing slider 52 while positioning the sliders 53 and 54 at a location where they are easy to use for opening and closing the first opening end portion 10A1, thereby improving the comfort of the user 6.
[0088] Also, by covering the entire back of the user 6 with the bag body 10 formed of a waterproof fabric 11a having light-shielding properties, it is possible to suppress the sunlight from passing through the bag body 10 and prevent the user 6 from getting sunburned.
[0089] (Usage method) Next, the usage method of the waterproof bag 1 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 8.
[0090] FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram showing the usage state of the waterproof bag 1.

[0092] As shown in FIG. 8, the user 6 can fix the waterproof bag 1 to the body of the user 6 by passing an arm through the shoulder belt 25 of the waterproof bag 1 and locking the locking portion 28 provided on the right belt 26 and the locked portion 29 provided on the left belt 27 to each other.
[0093] When there is a large amount of the stored item 5, for example, the user 6 can expand the second storage part 10B by opening the second waterproof fastener 30, and can store more of the stored item 5 in the second storage part 10B.
[0094] Also, when there is a small amount of the stored item 5, for example, by closing the second waterproof fastener 30, the second storage part 10B is reduced, and the stored item 5 in the second storage part 10B is pressure-bonded inside, so that the stored item 5 can be prevented from moving inside the second storage part 10B during exercise or the like.
[0095] Furthermore, in the case of a sudden heavy rain, etc., by closing the extended waterproof fastener 40 and also closing the second waterproof fastener 30, a double waterproof structure is formed, and the ingress of water into the second storage part 10B can be further prevented.
[0096] When the user 6 stores the stored item 5 such as a folding umbrella, etc., the user 6 opens the waterproof fastener 13A formed in the outer storage part 13, and closes the waterproof fastener 13A with the stored item 5 such as an umbrella arranged inside the outer storage part 13, so that the umbrella can be stored in the outer storage part 13.
[0097] Also, the storage wall 14 can store the stored item 5 such as a plastic bottle or a water tube. In this case, the user 6 can open and close the storage wall 14 by operating only the rightmost slider 52 among the three sliders 52, 53, 54 of the first waterproof fastener 50. With the storage wall 14 opened by operating the rightmost slider 52, the stored item 5 such as a plastic bottle or a water tube is arranged on the storage wall 14, and by operating the rightmost slider 52 to close the storage wall 14, the stored item 5 such as a plastic bottle or a water tube can be stored on the storage wall 14.
[0098] When the user 6 takes out the stored item 5 such as a plastic bottle or a water tube stored in the storage wall 14, the user 6 can take out the stored item 5 such as a plastic bottle or a water tube from the storage wall 14 by operating only the rightmost slider 52 of the first waterproof fastener 50 to open the storage wall 14.
[0099] Also, on extremely hot days, by storing a commercially available coolant (not shown) or the like in the back storage pocket 19 formed in the bag body 10, the back of the user 6 can be cooled during use.
