Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] To provide a pen case, particularly a pen case that can maintain a stable posture even when opened, allows small items to be easily taken out, is not bulky, and does not get in the way even in a small space. [Background technology]

[0002] Description of the Prior Art In recent years, work styles have become more diverse, with an increase in free space and nomadic work styles where the workplace is not fixed. As a result, many tool cases have been developed that can store a complete set of work tools other than writing implements. However, conventional tool cases are quite large because they are designed to store a complete set of work tools, and if small items are stored inside, they can be difficult to find when retrieving them. This makes them somewhat inconvenient for carrying only the bare necessities, such as writing utensils, and for working in a small space. Also, various shapes of pen cases have been developed.

[0003] [Related Technology] Incidentally, a related prior art is "Pen Case" (Patent Document 1) disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 6637010.

[0004] Patent Document 1 describes a pen case whose main body is made of silicone rubber, which opens and closes with a zipper or the like, and which takes the shape of a pen tray with raised edges when opened. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0005] [Patent Document 1] Patent No. 6637010 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] However, until now, there has been no pen case that maintains a stable posture even when open, allows small items to be easily removed, is not bulky, and does not get in the way even in tight spaces, which has led to the problem of inconvenient work when carrying only the bare necessities such as writing implements.

[0007] Furthermore, Patent Document 1 does not describe a configuration in which the front portion is inclined, openable and closable zippers are attached to the parts connecting to the right side, top, and left side portions, and a magnet is provided to adhesively secure the front portion when folded in the center.

[0008] To provide a pen case that can keep a stable posture even when opened, can easily take out small items, is not bulky, and does not get in the way even in a small space. [Means for solving the problem]

[0009] The present invention, which solves the problems of the above-mentioned conventional examples, is a pen case comprising a front portion, a back portion, a top portion, a bottom portion, a right side portion, and a left side portion, wherein the back portion is formed so as to be connected vertically to the bottom portion, the top portion is formed so as to be shorter in length from the back portion to the front portion than the bottom portion, the front portion is formed at an angle, an openable and closable zipper portion is formed at the portion connecting to the right side portion, the top portion, and the left side portion, and a horizontal folding portion is formed in the center of the front portion, and a plurality of magnets are provided at the position where they overlap when folded at the folding portion, and are adhesively fixed in place.

[0010] In addition, the present invention is characterized in that, in the above-mentioned pen case, the right side portion has a lower right side portion connected to the bottom portion and a right side portion connected to the top portion, the left side portion has a lower left side portion connected to the bottom portion and an upper left side portion connected to the top portion, and the zipper portion is formed in the portion connected to the upper right side portion, the top portion, and the upper left side portion.

[0011] In addition, the present invention is characterized in that in the above-mentioned pen case, the zipper is a head-to-head zipper with two sliders, and the front part can be folded at the folding part when the zipper is fully open.

[0012] In addition, the present invention is characterized in that the front part of the pen case has a core material except for the folded part, and two sets of magnets are provided.

[0013] The present invention is also characterized in that the pen case has a first pocket formed on the inside of the back portion.

[0014] The present invention is also characterized in that the pen case has a second pocket formed on the inside of the front part for inserting writing instruments. [Effects of the Invention]

[0015] According to the present invention, there is provided a pen case having a front portion, a back portion, a top portion, a bottom portion, a right side portion, and a left side portion, wherein the back portion is formed so as to be connected vertically to the bottom portion, the top portion is formed so as to be shorter in length from the back portion to the front portion than the bottom portion, the front portion is formed at an angle, and an openable and closable zipper portion is formed at the portion connecting to the right side portion, the top portion, and the left side portion, and a horizontal folding portion is formed in the center of the front portion, and a plurality of magnets are adhesively fixed in the position where they overlap when folded at the folding portion. Therefore, since the top portion is narrower than the bottom portion, it is less bulky than a rectangular shape and does not get in the way even in narrow spaces, and the bottom portion is wide so it can be placed stably, and when the zipper is opened and the front portion is folded at the folding portion, the magnets can securely hold it in the open state, making it easy to take out small items.

[0017] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. [Outline of the embodiment] The pen case (present pen case) according to an embodiment of the present invention is a pen case having a front portion, a back portion, a top portion, a bottom portion, a right side portion, and a left side portion, the back portion is formed so as to connect vertically to the bottom portion, the top portion is formed so as to be shorter in length from the back portion to the front portion than the bottom portion, the front portion is formed at an angle, an openable / closable zipper portion is attached to the portion connecting to the right side portion, the top portion, and the left side portion, a horizontal folding portion is formed in the center of the front portion, and multiple magnets are attached to the position where they overlap when folded at the folding portion, and the top portion is narrow and compact compared to a rectangular parallelepiped shape, so it does not get in the way, the bottom portion is wide and can be placed stably, and when the zipper is opened and the front portion is folded at the folding portion, the magnets secure it in the open state, and the center of gravity is lowered, making it stable, allowing small items to be easily taken out while it is placed.

[0018] [Configuration of this pen case: Figures 1 to 6] The configuration of this pen case will be described with reference to Figures 1 to 6. Figure 1 is a front view of this pen case, Figure 2 is a right side view, Figure 3 is a left side view, Figure 4 is a top view, Figure 5 is a bottom view, and Figure 6 is a rear view. As shown in Figures 1 to 6, this pen case has a front portion 11, a back portion 12, a bottom portion 13, a top portion 14, a right side portion 15, and a left side portion 16, and is provided with a zipper 21 for opening and closing the front portion 11.

[0019] 1, the front part 11 has a generally rectangular shape similar to the rear part 12 described later, with rounded upper corners. The front part 11 is inclined relative to the bottom surface, and the upper side is positioned further back than the lower side, so in FIG. 1 (and FIG. 7), the upper long side appears shorter than the lower long side. As will be described later, a fastener 21 for opening and closing the front portion 11 is provided on the inside of the outer periphery of the front portion 11 at a portion that connects the left side portion 16, the top portion 14, and the right side portion 15.

[0020] The fastener 21 has two sliders 21a and 21b arranged at head-to-head positions, and when the fastener 21 is fully opened, the upper half of the front surface 11 can be folded downward. As will be described later, multiple magnets 33 are provided inside the front portion 11 at positions that correspond (overlap) when the front portion 11 is folded, so that the folded upper half joins with the lower half. The internal structure of the front portion 11 will be described later.

[0021] As shown in FIG. 5, the bottom surface 13 of the pen case has a substantially rectangular shape. As shown in FIG. 6, the back surface portion 12 is substantially rectangular, and the upper corners are rounded. 4, an upper surface portion 14 is provided connected to the upper end of the back surface portion 12. The long sides of the upper surface portion 14 are equal in length to the long sides of the bottom surface portion 13, and the short sides are shorter than the short sides of the bottom surface portion 13. The long side of the top surface portion 14 on the front surface portion 11 side is connected to a fastener 21 .

[0022] As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the rear surface portion 12 is connected to the bottom surface portion 13 perpendicularly. On the other hand, the front surface portion 11 is not upright with respect to the bottom surface portion 13 like the back surface portion 12, but is provided at an angle. For this reason, the depth of this pen case (left and right direction in Figs. 2 and 3) is longer at the bottom end than at the top end, and the shape seen from the side is trapezoidal.

[0023] By adopting this shape, the overall size of the pen case is made small (compact). In addition, the lower part of the pen case body is formed larger than the upper part, and the angle formed by the bottom part 11 and the back part 12 is a right angle, so that when the pen case is placed on a desk or the like, it can maintain a stable posture.

[0024] 2, right side surface portion 15 includes lower right side surface portion 15a connected to front surface portion 11, bottom surface portion 13, and rear surface portion 12, and upper right side surface portion 15b connected to top surface portion 14 and rear surface portion 12. The upper side of lower right side surface portion 15a and the lower side of upper right side surface portion 15b are connected to form right side surface portion 15. Here, the connection point between the lower right side portion 15a and the front portion 11 is from the lower end portion connecting to the bottom portion 13 to a position below the folding portion 32 described later, so as not to interfere with folding the front portion 11.

[0025] Similarly, as shown in FIG. 3, the left side surface portion 16 has a lower left side surface portion 16a that connects to the front surface portion 11, the bottom surface portion 13, and the back surface portion 12, and an upper left side surface portion 16b that connects to the top surface portion 14 and the back surface portion 12, and the upper edge of the lower left side surface portion 16a and the lower edge of the upper left side surface portion 16b are connected to form the left side surface portion 16. The connection between the lower left side surface portion 16a and the front surface portion 11 extends from the lower end portion connected to the bottom surface portion 13 to a position below a bent portion 32, which will be described later.

[0026] For ease of explanation, the upper right side surface portion 15b, the top surface portion 14, and the upper left side surface portion 16b are described separately here, but they may also be configured as an integrated unit. Similarly, the lower right side surface portion 15a, the bottom surface portion 13, and the lower left side surface portion 16a may be integrally formed.

[0027] One end of the fastener 21 is fixed to the upper end of the lower right side surface portion 15a, one long side is attached to the oblique side of the upper right side surface portion 15b, the long side of the top surface portion 14, and the oblique side of the upper left side surface portion 16b, and the other end is fixed to the lower left side surface portion 16a. As described above, the other long side of the fastener 21 is attached to the three outer peripheries of the front surface 11 (portions connected to the upper right side surface 15b, the top surface 14, and the upper left side surface 16b). Then, from the state shown in FIG. 1, the sliders 21a and 21b are moved left and right to open and close the fastener 21.

[0028] In addition, stitching 22a is applied to the connection between the upper edge of the lower right side surface portion 15a and the lower edge of the upper right side surface portion 15b and the fastener 21 for both reinforcement and decoration. Similarly, stitching 22b is applied to the connection between the upper edge of the lower left side surface portion 16a and the lower edge of the upper left side surface portion 16b and the fastener 21. Furthermore, stitches 22c are applied to the connection between the fastener 21 and the oblique side of the upper right side 15b, the long side of the top 14, and the oblique side of the upper left side 16b.

[0029] [Internal structure of the front part: Figure 7] Next, the internal structure of the front portion 11 will be described with reference to Fig. 7. Fig. 7 is an explanatory diagram showing the internal structure of the front portion. As shown in FIG. 7, inside the front part 11 (between the outer fabric and the inner fabric), a core material 31a is provided on the upper half surface parallel to the long sides, and a core material 31b is provided on the lower half surface parallel to the long sides. In the center of the front face portion 11, there is a gap in the horizontal direction where the core materials 31a, 31b are not provided, and this gap portion serves as a bendable portion 32 that can be bent.

[0030] Magnets 33a to 33d are provided on the front side of the core materials 31a and 31b (between the core material 31 and the outer fabric). The magnets 33a and 33b are provided on the surface of the core material 31a on the upper half of the front face portion 11, and the magnets 33c and 33d are provided on the surface of the core material 31b on the lower half. The magnet 33 adheres and fixes the upper and lower halves together when the front portion 11 is folded at the folding portion 32. In the example of FIG. 7, the magnets 33a and 33c, and the magnets 33b and 33d are adhered to each other.

[0031] As a result, when the fastener 21 is opened and the front part 11 is folded, the upper half of the front part 11 can be firmly fixed to the lower half, preventing the upper half from remaining in an intermediate position and interfering with the removal of a writing implement, and maintaining a compact shape. Furthermore, when the upper half is folded back, the center of gravity is lowered, making the posture more stable, and even when taking out small items, it is easy to find them without removing the pen case.

[0032] [Interior structure of this pen case: Figure 8] Next, the internal structure of the pen case will be described with reference to Fig. 8. Fig. 8 is a front view of the pen case in an open state. As shown in FIG. 8, this pen case has a horizontally long pocket 41 on the inside of the back part 12 and a pocket 42 on the inside of the upper half of the front part 11. Pocket 41 has an opening at the top and the sides are made of mesh fabric so that the contents can be seen. Pocket 42 is used as a pen holder, allowing writing implements to be inserted from the side. Pocket 42 also has folds that expand the length of the short side, allowing pens of various thicknesses to be inserted and held.

[0033] [Zipper open: Figure 9] Next, the state in which the fastener 21 is open will be described with reference to Figure 9. Figure 9 is a right side view in which the fastener is open. As the fastener 21 of the pen case is opened, the slider 21a moves on the right side surface 15 until it abuts against the upper side of the lower right side surface 15a, as shown in FIG. Although not shown, on the left side surface portion 16, the slider 21b moves up to the upper side of the lower left side surface portion 16a.

[0034] Here, the point (end point) at which the sliders 21a and 21b are fully opened is provided below the position of the bending portion 32, and the sliders 21a and 21b are formed so as not to interfere with the bending operation. When both the sliders 21a and 21b are in the fully open state, the upper half of the front surface 11 can be folded from the folding portion 32.

[0035] [Effects of the embodiment] In the pen case according to the embodiment of the present invention, the back portion 12 is formed so as to be connected vertically to the bottom portion 13, the top portion 14 is formed so as to have a shorter length from the back portion 12 to the front portion 11 than the bottom portion 13, the front portion 11 is formed at an angle, and an openable / closable zipper portion 21 is attached to the part connecting the right side portion 15, the top portion 14, and the left side portion 16, and a folding portion 32 is formed horizontally in the center of the front portion 11, and a plurality of magnets 33 are attached to overlap when folded at the folding portion 32. The top portion is narrow and not bulky compared to a rectangular parallelepiped shape, so it does not get in the way, and the bottom portion 13 is wide and can be placed stably. When the zipper 21 is opened and the front portion 11 is folded at the folding portion 32, the magnets 33 secure it in place, and it maintains a stable position, allowing small items to be easily removed while it is placed. [Industrial Applicability]

[0036] This device is suitable for a pencil case that maintains a stable position even when open, allows small items to be easily taken out while it is placed, is not bulky, and does not get in the way even in a small space. [Explanation of symbols]
