Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a multi-purpose case. [Background technology]

[0002] For example, a portable umbrella holder such as that described in Patent Document 1 is known as a case for storing a folding umbrella.

[0003] The portable umbrella holder in Patent Document 1 has a long, sheet-like sheet body (1) with a cover (2) on the front to store an umbrella. The bottom of the portable umbrella holder has an opening (2b) covered with a breathable net (4) with a bottomless opening (see paragraph

[0006] and Figure 1 of Patent Document 1).

[0004] This type of portable umbrella holder can store both folding umbrellas and regular non-folding umbrellas by opening and closing the opening (2b) provided at the bottom.

[0005] To achieve this, Patent Document 1 employs a breathable net (4) that covers the opening (2b). Patent Document 1 states, "The breathable net 4 is formed to function as a holding means for holding the umbrella. The holding means comprises a breathable net 4 made by folding a polyester net member in half and sewing the overlapping ends to the periphery of the opening 2b (lower), a string 4a inserted inside the folded net member, and a fastener 4b inserted through the string 4a, which pulls and fastens the string 4a to the appropriate position, thereby shrinking the lower opening edge 4c of the breathable net 4" (see paragraph

[0008] of Patent Document 1).

[0006] The portable umbrella holder described in Patent Document 1 retracts the lower opening edge (4c) of the breathable net (4) when storing a folding umbrella, allowing the umbrella to be held by the breathable net (4) (see Figure 3 in Document 1). When storing a non-folding umbrella, the lower opening edge (4c) of the breathable net (4) is opened, allowing the tip of the umbrella to protrude from the bottom of the portable umbrella holder, allowing the umbrella to be held (see Figure 4 in Document 1).

[0007] In addition, Patent Document 1 discloses an attachment member (3) that enables a portable umbrella holder to be attached to a portable item such as a bag or backpack, such as a hanger belt (9), and an attachment member (7) that uses hook-and-loop fasteners (7a, 7b) that enable attachment to the handle or belt of the portable item (see paragraphs

[0006] ,

[0009] -

[0010] and Figure 2 of Document 1). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0016] 1. Configuration (1) Overview As shown in FIG. 1, a multipurpose case 11 of this embodiment includes a vertically long case body 12 and has inside a storage section 14 with an entrance 13 at the top.

[0017] The storage section 14 can store a portable mobile terminal, for example, a smartphone 101 (see FIG. 7), or a folding umbrella 201 (see FIG. 8). It can also be used as an umbrella holder for holding an open umbrella 201 (see FIGS. 15(A) and (B)).

[0018] To accommodate various usage modes, the multipurpose case 11 is provided with three types of means for attaching it to the body of the user H: an attachment band 61, a belt loop 71 (see FIG. 2), and a shoulder cord 81.

[0019] The attachment band 61 is configured, for example, so that the multipurpose case 11 can be attached to a shoulder strap 302 of a backpack 301 carried by a user H (see FIGS. 9 and 10).

[0020] The belt loop 71 is configured so that the user H can attach the multipurpose case 11 to a belt (not shown) worn around the waist.

[0021] The shoulder cord 81 is configured so that the multi-purpose case 11 can be held by hanging it over the shoulder of the user H.

[0022] (2) Main unit case As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the main elements that make up the case body 12 are a front cover 31, a back cover 41, and a bottom cover .

[0023] The front cover 31 is a vertically elongated member that covers the front of the case body 12, wrapping around from the front side to both side surfaces of the case body 12 (see FIGS. 3 and 4). The back cover 41 and the bottom cover 42 are integrally provided (see FIG. 2), and cover the back and bottom surfaces of the case body 12 (see FIGS. 3 and 4).

[0024] The front cover 31, back cover 41, and bottom cover 42 are joined together by a hollow stitch, forming a hollow stitch portion FS at the joint. The hollow stitch portion FS is not provided at the top of the case body 12, and this portion serves as the entrance 13 of the storage compartment 14. The storage compartment 14 forms an internal space covered by the front cover 31, back cover 41, and bottom cover 42, and various items to be stored, such as a smartphone 101 or an umbrella 201, are received through the entrance 13.

[0025] The upper end of the back cover 41 protrudes above the upper end of the front cover 31 that forms the periphery of the entrance 13 of the storage section 14, improving operability when putting stored items in and taking them out of the entrance 13.

[0026] Flexible materials are used for the front cover 31, back cover 41, and bottom cover 42 that make up the case body 12. Examples include synthetic fibers such as nylon and polyester, genuine leather, synthetic leather, suede, canvas, cotton, linen, and cotton-linen blends. To maintain a certain degree of shape retention, some or all of the front cover 31, back cover 41, and bottom cover 42, especially the back cover 41, have a middle plate or cushioning material (not shown) sandwiched or laminated between the two front and back members.

[0027] Piping is applied to the periphery of the upper end of the back cover 41, which protrudes higher than the upper end of the front cover 31. This portion is a piping portion P1, which improves shape retention.

[0028] (3) Wearing band (a) Basic structure The wearing band 61 is configured so that the case body 12 can be detachably attached to the shoulder strap 302 worn by the user H on the shoulder with the entrance 13 of the storage section 14 facing upward. To achieve this, the wearing band 61 is structured to include a set of a pair of left and right bands, a left band 61A and a right band 61B, which are provided on both sides of the case body 12.

[0029] The left and right here refer to the direction as seen by user H who is attaching the multipurpose case 11 to the shoulder strap 302 (see Figure 2), not the direction as seen from the front of the multipurpose case 11 (see Figure 1).

[0030] The left band 61A and the right band 61B are provided with hook-and-loop fasteners 62 that detachably attach them to each other. When the multipurpose case 11 is viewed from the front (see FIG. 1), a loop fastener 62A is provided on the front side of the left band 61A, and a hook fastener 62B is provided on the back side of the right band 61B. The loop fastener 62A is provided on the entire surface of the left band 61A, and the hook fastener 62B is provided on approximately half of the surface of the right band 61B toward the tip (see FIGS. 1 and 2).

[0031] The hook and loop fasteners 62 can be used to fasten the left and right bands 61A and 61B together by overlapping the loop fastener 62A of the left band 61A, which is wound around the body-facing side of the shoulder strap 302, with the hook and loop fastener 62B of the right band 61B, which is wound around the body-facing side. At this point, the shoulder strap 302 is sandwiched between the case body 12 and the left and right bands 61A and 61B, and the multipurpose case 11 is attached to the shoulder strap 302. The friction between the case body 12 and the left band 61A against the shoulder strap 302 keeps the multipurpose case 11 in place without shifting up or down.

[0032] (b) Piping section Piping is applied to the peripheries of the left band 61A and the right band 61B. This portion forms a piping portion P2, which improves the shape retention of the wearing band 61.

[0033] (4) Variable storage capacity The multipurpose case 11 is configured to be able to change the storage capacity of the storage section 14. The structure used to achieve this is a length adjustment structure for the tightening cord 21 attached to the front cover 31.

[0034] The case body 12 has a plurality of cord holes 15 through which the tightening cords 21 are passed. The cord holes 15 are of two types: side cord holes 15a and front cord holes 15b.

[0035] A plurality of pairs of side cord holes 15a are arranged vertically along both sides of the case body 12, forming a left-right pair. In this embodiment, three pairs of side cord holes 15a are provided. These side cord holes 15a are sewn together when the front cover 31 and the back cover 41 are sewn together. Therefore, all three pairs of side cord holes 15a, forming a left-right pair, are arranged at the joint between the front cover 31 and the back cover 41.

[0036] The front cord hole 15b is located in the center of the front cover 31, above the pair of left and right side cord holes 15a which are located at the highest position. The method of attaching the front cover 31 will be described later.

[0037] 5(A), the tightening cord 21 has tip processed portions 22 at both ends. The tip processed portions 22 are obtained by subjecting both ends of the tightening cord 21 to soft shell tip processing, for example.

[0038] Such a tightening cord 21 is passed through a front cord passage 15b, passed alternately through a pair of left and right side cord passages 15a, and then bundled with a cord stopper 23 at a position lower than the lowest pair of left and right side cord passages 15a.

[0039] The cord stopper 23 bundles the two ends of the tightening cord 21 and regulates positional deviation using the restoring force of a spring (not shown), fixing the bundled position of the tightening cord 21. The cord stopper 23 is provided with an operation button 24 that can be pressed down to release the restoring force of the spring. When the operation button 24 is operated to release the restoring force of the spring, the cord stopper 23 becomes slidable, allowing the length of the tightening cord 21 to be adjusted.

[0040] When the length of the tightening cord 21 is adjusted, the front cover 31 is tightened by the tightening cord 21 and deformed in a crushing direction, or conversely, it is released from the tightening force of the tightening cord 21 and can return to its original shape. This makes it possible to change the storage capacity of the storage section 14.

[0041] In this embodiment, another cord stopper 86 will also appear later. To avoid confusion, the cord stopper 23 will be referred to as the first cord stopper 23, and the operation button 24 will be referred to as the first operation button 24.

[0042] (5) Support structure for the umbrella pole When the multipurpose case 11 is used as an umbrella holder for holding an open umbrella 201, when the handle 202 (see FIG. 11) of the umbrella 201 is inserted deep into the storage section 14, the center pole 203 of the umbrella 201 is positioned near the entrance 13 (see FIGS. 12 and 13). If the position of the center pole 203 can be fixed, the support state of the open umbrella 201 will be stable.

[0043] 6, in this embodiment, a support band 51 that opens to one side in a direction intersecting the direction in which the stored item is put in and taken out is provided at the entrance 13 of the storage section 14 in the case body 12, and the support band 51 is removably fixed by a band fixing section 52 fixed to the back cover 41. This makes it possible to sandwich the center pole 203 of the umbrella 201, which is the stored item, between the band fixing section 52 and the support band 51 and firmly support it.

[0044] The support band 51 and the band fixing portion 52 are belt-shaped members of the same size, and are both attached to the back cover 41 that forms the back surface of the case body 12. The entire surface of the band fixing portion 52 is fixed to the back cover 41, while the support band 51 has only one end fixed to the back cover 41 so as to overlap the band fixing portion 52, creating a one-sided opening. The entire front surface of the band fixing portion 52 and the entire back surface of the support band 51 can be attached and detached to each other using a hook-and-loop fastener (not shown).

[0045] (6) Structure that improves operability As described above, the upper end of the back cover 41 protrudes above the upper end of the front cover 31 that forms the periphery of the entrance 13 of the storage section 14, improving operability when putting stored items into and taking them out of the entrance 13. In this embodiment, various measures have been taken to further improve such operability: the entrance reinforcement section 32, the tab 33, and the piping section P1.

[0046] (a) Entrance reinforcement As shown enlarged in FIG. 6, the front cover 31 is provided with an entrance reinforcing portion 32 that reinforces the periphery of the entrance 13 of the storage portion 14.

[0047] The inlet reinforcement portion 32 is a strip-shaped member that spans the entire width of the periphery of the inlet 13 in the front cover 31. As an example, the inlet reinforcement portion 32 is made of a member that is more rigid and has excellent strength than the front cover 31, and is sewn to the front cover 31 so as to cover the periphery of the inlet 13.

[0048] The provision of the inlet reinforcing portion 32 increases the rigidity of the periphery of the inlet 13 in the front cover 31. As a result, the shape retention that keeps the inlet 13 in an open shape is improved.

[0049] In this embodiment, when the entrance reinforcement portion 32 is sewn to the front cover 31, the front cord passage 15b is also sewn in and fixed together.

[0050] (b) Picking The front cover 31 is provided with a tab 33 on the periphery of the entrance 13 of the storage section 14 .

[0051] Tab 33 is made by folding a strip-shaped member in half and sewing it to the entrance reinforcement part 32. It is positioned in the center of the entrance 13 in the front cover 31, at a position that protrudes upward from the periphery of the entrance 13 covered by the entrance reinforcement part 32. The part that protrudes upward is the folded part of tab 33 that is bent into a loop shape.

[0052] By pinching the knob 33 with the fingers, the opening 13 of the storage section 14 can be easily widened or narrowed.

[0053] (c) Piping section As described above, piping is applied to the periphery of the upper end of the back cover 41 to form the piping portion P1. The piping portion P1 improves the shape retention of the periphery of the upper end of the back cover 41.

[0054] (7) Belt loop As described above, the belt loop 71 (see FIG. 2) provided on the rear surface of the back cover 41 is configured so that the multipurpose case 11 can be attached to a belt (not shown) worn by the user H around his / her waist.

[0055] As shown in Fig. 2, the belt loop 71 is a strip-shaped member that is elongated in the vertical direction, and its upper end is fastened to the back cover 41 by a fixed button 72, and its lower end is detachably fastened to the back cover 41 by a belt catcher 73. The belt catcher 73 has a male button 73a provided on the back cover 41 and a female button 73b provided at the lower end of the belt loop 71. The female button 73b is detachable from the male button 73a.

[0056] (8) Shoulder cord As described above, the shoulder cord 81 (see FIG. 1) is configured to hold the multi-purpose case 11 over the user H's shoulder.

[0057] 1, the case body 12 is provided with hook holders 16 for attaching shoulder cords 81 at left and right positions directly beside the entrance reinforcement portion 32. The hook holders 16 form a pair on the left and right, and are sewn together when the front cover 31 and the back cover 41 are sewn together. Therefore, both of the pair of left and right hook holders 16 are located at the joint between the front cover 31 and the back cover 41.

[0058] Each end of the shoulder cord 81 is provided with a hook 82 that can be attached to and detached from a pair of left and right hook holders 16. These hooks 82 have a round ring 83 and a loop 84.

[0059] As shown in Fig. 5(B), the shoulder cord 81 is connected to the round ring 83 by passing it through a loop R created by tying the ends of the round ring 83 with a knot 85. The knot 85 is, for example, a Hanson knot.

[0060] The loop 84 is detachable from the hook holder 16 .

[0061] The shoulder cord 81 has a length that allows the multi-purpose case 11 to be positioned at, for example, waist height when worn over the shoulder of the user H. A cord stopper 86 that functions as a height adjustment means is attached to the shoulder cord 81 so that the height of the multi-purpose case 11 can be adjusted according to the user H's preference.

[0062] Cord stopper 86 bundles two shoulder cords 81 at their intermediate positions, and restricts misalignment by the restoring force of a spring (not shown), fixing the bundled position of shoulder cords 81. Cord stopper 86 is provided with an operation button 87 that can be pressed down to release the restoring force of the spring. When operation button 87 is operated to release the restoring force of the spring, cord stopper 86 becomes slidable, allowing the length of shoulder cord 81 to be adjusted.

[0063] In this embodiment, in order to avoid confusion with the first cord stopper 23, the cord stopper 86 is referred to as the second cord stopper 86, and the operation button 87 is referred to as the second operation button 87.

[0064] 2. Effects The multipurpose case 11 provides the user H with a variety of usage modes.

[0065] (1) Smartphone cases For example, as shown in FIG. 7, the storage section 14 can be used as a smartphone case for storing a smartphone 101.

[0066] At this time, the user H can use the attachment band 61 to attach the multipurpose case 11 to, for example, the shoulder strap 302 of a backpack 301 that the user H is carrying. The procedure for attaching the multipurpose case 11 to the shoulder strap 302 will be described later.

[0067] It is also possible to use the multi-purpose case 11 by passing a belt (not shown) worn around the waist through the belt loop 71 and wearing the multi-purpose case 11 around the waist.

[0068] A shoulder cord 81 may be attached to the multipurpose case 11 so that the case can be worn over the shoulder.

[0069] When using multipurpose case 11 as a smartphone case, user H can adjust the storage capacity of storage section 14 depending on the situation. For example, if priority is given to ease of insertion and removal from entrance 13, user H can operate first cord stopper 23 to lengthen tightening cord 21. Conversely, if priority is given to preventing smartphone 101 from falling out of entrance 13, user H can operate first cord stopper 23 to shorten tightening cord 21.

[0070] (2) Umbrella case As shown in FIG. 8, the storage section 14 can also be used as an umbrella case for storing a folding umbrella 201.

[0071] When used as an umbrella case, three usage modes can be selected: attaching it to the shoulder strap 302 using the attachment band 61 described above, attaching it to the waist using the belt loop 71, or wearing it over the shoulder using the shoulder cord 81.

[0072] The storage capacity of the storage section 14 can be adjusted by changing the length of the tightening cord 21 in the same way as in the case of a smartphone case.

[0073] (3)Umbrella holder 15(A) and 15(B), the multipurpose case 11 can also be used as an umbrella holder for holding an open umbrella 201. The procedure for doing so will be described.

[0074] As shown in Figure 9, bring the multi-purpose case 11 close to the shoulder strap 302 to be worn and align it with the desired position. In this state, fold the left band 61A back so that it wraps around the back side of the shoulder strap 302, i.e., the side closest to the user's body, and then fold the right band 61B back. This causes the hook fastener 62B of the right band 61B to adhere to the loop fastener 62A of the left band 61A, fastening the left and right bands 61A and 61B together.

[0075] Once the left and right bands 61A, 61B are fixed, the attachment of the multipurpose case 11 to the shoulder straps 302 of the backpack 301 is complete, as shown in FIG.

[0076] 11 to 13 do not show the backpack 301. The following description will be given assuming that the multipurpose case 11 is attached to the shoulder strap 302.

[0077] As shown in Figure 11, the folding umbrella 201 is opened. That is, an opening / closing mechanism (not shown) included in the skeletal structure 204 is used to keep the umbrella fabric 205 open. The open umbrella 201 is then placed into the entrance 13 of the multipurpose case 11, handle 202 first. The handle 202 of the umbrella 201 is inserted deep into the storage compartment 14.

[0078] 12, the first cord stopper 23 is operated to shorten the tightening cord 21, and the case body 12 is tightened by the tightening cord 21. The tightened case body 12 reduces the capacity of the storage section 14 and compresses the handle 202 of the umbrella 201 inserted into the storage section 14. The handle 202 of the umbrella 201 is held inside the storage section 14.

[0079] At this stage, the center pole 203 of the umbrella 201, which is positioned around the entrance 13, is not sufficiently supported. Therefore, the support band 51, which opens to one side, is peeled off from the band fixing part 52 and is brought around to the other side of the center pole 203, that is, the side opposite the human body.

[0080] 13, the support band 51 is returned to its original position by sandwiching the center rod 203. The center rod 203 is sandwiched between the band fixing part 52 and the support band 51, and is fixed in position.

[0081] 14 is a schematic diagram showing a state in which an umbrella 201 with its umbrella fabric 205 open is held in a multipurpose case 11 attached to a shoulder strap 302 of a backpack 301. The umbrella 201 is held in the multipurpose case 11 with its handle 202 held inside the storage compartment 14 and its center pole 203 fixed in position near the entrance 13.

[0082] As shown in FIGS. 15(A) and 15(B), user H can hold umbrella 201 without using both hands, and the freed hands can provide freedom of movement.

[0083] (4) Wearability The wearing band 61 has piping P2 on the periphery of the left band 61A and the right band 61B, which improves shape retention and allows for better wearing when attached to the shoulder strap 302.

[0084] (5) Operability As shown in FIG. 6, the case body 12 has an inlet reinforcement portion 32, a tab 33, and a piping portion P1.

[0085] The entrance reinforcement portion 32 improves the shape retention that keeps the entrance 13 in an open shape. Therefore, according to this embodiment, the operability when putting items into and taking items out of the entrance 13 can be improved.

[0086] The knob 33 can be gripped with the fingers to easily open the entrance 13 of the storage section 14. Therefore, according to this embodiment, the operability when putting items into and taking items out of the entrance 13 can be improved.
