[0013] The pouch 1 according to the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments include not only essential features of the present invention, but also features that can be selectively adopted and features that can be combined as appropriate.
[0014] 1 to 3, pouch 1 is composed of pouch body 10 and belt 2 detachably connected to pouch body 10. The length of belt 2 can be adjusted via insertion portion 4, and a pair of strips attached to main body 20 are detachably connected to each other via buckle 5.
[0015] The pouch body 10 has an outer surface 10A and an inner surface 10B, a vertical direction Y, and a horizontal direction X, and can be folded in two along a fold line 11 extending in the horizontal direction X at approximately the center of the vertical direction Y. The pouch body 10 also includes a main body portion 20 to which a belt 2 is attached, and a flap portion 30 connected to the main body portion 20, which are positioned opposite each other in the vertical direction Y via the fold line 11.
[0016] A pair of locking hooks 12a, 12b are arranged on the inner surface 10B side of the flap portion 30, and a pair of locking buttons 13a, 13b are arranged on the inner surface 10B side of the main body portion 20.
[0017] By engaging the pair of locking hooks 12a, 12b of the flap portion 30 with the pair of latching buttons 13a, 13b of the main body portion 20, respectively, the pouch can be maintained in a folded state and used as a portable pouch 1, as shown in Fig. 1. The locking hooks 12a, 12b and the latching buttons 13a, 13b are made of metal, which is more rigid than plastic and does not risk breakage even with repeated use, and the pouch can be maintained firmly in a folded state, and the locking hooks 12a, 12b will not come undone unexpectedly during use, causing the flap portion 30 to open.
[0018] As shown in Figures 2 and 4, the main body 20 has a mesh pocket 40 located on the outer surface 10A side that can be opened and closed by a zipper 41, and an inner pocket 50 located on the inner surface 10B side that can be opened and closed by a zipper 51.
[0019] Inside the inner pocket 50, there is located an inner card storage section 52 for storing multiple cards 6 such as credit cards and small items (accessories, SIM cards, etc.) lined up in the horizontal direction X. Also, inside the inner pocket 50, there is attached a carabiner 53 for hanging a key 54. If the carabiner 53 were attached to the outer surface 10A of the pouch 1, there would be a risk of theft or loss, which could cause anxiety to the user. However, in the present invention, the carabiner 53 is attached inside the inner pocket 50 and the key 54 is stored in the inner pocket 50, so there is no risk of theft or loss, giving the user a sense of security.
[0020] The mesh pocket 40 has an outer surface made of mesh fabric, which allows the contents inside to be easily seen, and has excellent breathability, preventing the inside of the mesh pocket 40 from becoming damp. Therefore, even if banknotes 7, passports, etc. are stored inside, they can be prevented from becoming damp and twisted, and mold can be prevented from growing when stored for a long period of time.
[0021] As shown in FIGS. 2 and 5, the flap portion 30 has an outer pocket 60 that is located on the outer surface 10A side and can be opened and closed by a zipper 61.
[0022] The outer pocket 60 of the flap portion 30 has therein a banknote storage section 62 for storing banknotes 7, a coin storage section 63 for storing coins 8, and an outer card storage section 64 for storing a plurality of cards 6. The banknote storage section 62 and the coin storage section 63 are separated by a partition wall 65, and coin passing holes 66a, 66b, and 66c through which coins 8 can be inserted are formed in the bottom of the banknote storage section 62.
[0023] 7, the pouch body 10 is formed from inner and outer covers 15, 16 made of soft synthetic resin (e.g., nylon resin), and sandwiched between them are an intermediate sheet 70 and an anti-skimming sheet 80. For ease of explanation, the anti-skimming sheet 80 is colored light black in each figure.
[0024] The anti-skimming sheet 80 can be made of thin sheets of various conductive materials that have been conventionally used as electromagnetic wave shielding materials, such as thin metal plates, metal foil layers, metal wire meshes, conductive fiber meshes, and conductive materials printed in a mesh pattern on plastic films.
[0025] In this embodiment, a conductive fiber mesh, which has excellent processability and foldability, is used as the anti-skimming sheet 80. The conductive fiber mesh has a certain degree of density and uniformity to ensure good electromagnetic wave blocking performance. In addition, to achieve good electromagnetic wave blocking performance, the anti-skimming sheet 80 is preferably a laminate of multiple conductive fiber meshes.
[0026] The anti-skimming sheet 80 is disposed over the entire area (excluding the sewn outer periphery) of the pouch body 10. Therefore, it can be said that skimming can be prevented more effectively than when the anti-skimming sheet 80 is disposed over only a portion of the pouch body 10.
[0027] The intermediate sheet 70 has an inner sheet 71 for forming the inner card storage section 52 and an inner attachment piece 73 sewn thereto, and an outer sheet 72 for forming the outer card storage section 64 and an outer attachment piece 74 and a partition wall 65 sewn thereto. In the illustrated example, the inner sheet 71 and the outer sheet 72 are formed separately, but they may also be formed integrally.
[0028] The inner side mounting piece 73 is sewn to the inner side sheet 71 via an outer peripheral sewing line 73a extending in a U-shape along its outer periphery and a pair of vertical sewing lines 73b extending in the vertical direction Y and spaced apart from each other in the horizontal direction X, thereby forming an inner card storage section 52 capable of storing multiple cards 6.
[0029] The outer surface side mounting piece 74 is sewn to the outer surface side sheet 72 and the partition wall 65 by a peripheral stitching line 74a extending along the outer peripheral edge thereof and a pair of vertical stitching lines 74b extending in the vertical direction Y.
[0030] By sewing the outer surface mounting piece 74 in this manner, an outer card storage section 64 capable of storing multiple cards, a bill storage section 62 located between the outer card storage section 64 and the partition wall 65, and a coin storage section 63 located between the partition wall 65 and the outer cover 16 are formed.
[0031] Furthermore, in the outer surface side mounting piece 74, the portions extending inward in the horizontal direction X from both end edges of the outer surface side mounting piece 74 and the portion between the pair of vertical sewing lines 74b are non-sewn portions 76a, 76b, 76c, and the banknote storage section 62 and the coin storage section 63 are connected via the multiple coin passage holes 66a, 66b, 66c formed by the non-sewn portions 76a, 76b, 76c.
[0032] 6(a) and (b), when a user stores cash in the outer pocket 60, he or she simply places a mixture of banknotes 7 and coins 8 together in the banknote storage section 62, and the coins 8 move to the coin storage section 63 through a plurality of coin passage holes 66a, 66b, 66c formed in the bottom of the banknote storage section 62. In other words, the banknotes 7 and coins 8 are automatically sorted into the banknote storage section 62 and the coin storage section 63, allowing for quick storage of cash and providing excellent convenience.
[0033] In the illustrated example, a plurality of coin passing holes 66a, 66b, 66c are provided, but only one may be provided. The sizes of the coin passing holes 66a, 66b, 66c can be set as appropriate as long as the coins 8 can pass through them. In the illustrated example, the coin passing hole 66a located in the center in the horizontal direction X has a larger opening area than the coin passing holes 66b, 66c located on both sides thereof, so that only coins 8 with a large diameter can pass through the coin passing hole 66a, and since relatively large coins 8 are stored in the central part of the coin storage unit 63, coins 8 are also sorted according to their sizes within the coin storage unit 63.
[0034] As mentioned above, because anti-skimming sheet 80 is disposed over the entire area of pouch body 10, the risk of skimming, which has become a problem in recent years, can be avoided even when widely used contactless magnetic IC cards for transportation cards or electronic money are stored inside. That is, contactless magnetic IC cards are activated by receiving electromagnetic waves from a reader and return information on reflected electromagnetic waves, so external electromagnetic waves used for skimming are blocked by anti-skimming sheet 80 made of an electromagnetic wave blocking material, thereby preventing skimming and enhancing the security of cards 6 such as credit cards.
[0035] Regarding the dimensions of the pouch 1, the overall length of the belt 2 is 30 to 80 cm, the size of the pocket opening of the outer pocket 60 (length of the zipper 61) is 18 to 22 cm, the vertical dimension of the outer pocket 60 is 10 to 15 cm, and the size of the inner pocket opening (length of the zipper 51) is 18 to 22 cm. Note that the various dimensions of the pouch 1 are merely examples and can be modified as needed.
[0036] The inner pocket 50 and the outer pocket 60 each have sufficient storage space, allowing for the storage of various small items, such as a passport, airline tickets, a smartphone, writing implements, a paperback book, earphones, a mobile battery, etc. In particular, the outer pocket 60 can store a smartphone, which is used relatively frequently, and by unifying the color of the entire pouch body 10, including the zipper 61, (e.g., black or brown), the inner pocket 50 becomes difficult to see immediately when the flap portion 30 is opened, and can be used as a hidden pocket to store valuables such as a passport.
[0037] The pouch 1 of the present invention is about 1.2 to 1.6 cm thick, making it relatively compact and thin, and highly portable. However, with nine storage compartments of various sizes, it can hold, for example, six credit cards, about 10 bills and coins, one passport, and one smartphone, making it a large-capacity pouch.
