[Figure 5] It is a front view of the decorative body of the present invention.

Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0016] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the belt-like body for storing articles according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. In this embodiment, the belt-like body for storing articles is applied to a strap to which a smartphone can be attached and detached.

[0017] As shown in FIG. 1, the strap 1 includes a belt-like body 2 for storing articles. The strap 1 also includes a strap portion 3 that extends by connecting both longitudinal ends of the belt-like body 2 for storing articles. This strap 1 can be used by hanging it on the user's neck or shoulder.

[0018] The belt-like body 2 for storing articles has an internal storage portion 20 capable of storing the belt-like articles to be stored 4. The belt-like articles to be stored 4 are, for example, soft and deformable. In this embodiment, the article to be stored 4 is a "silver tape" used as an effect at a concert venue. This belt-like body 2 for storing articles stores one article to be stored 4, but may store a plurality of articles to be stored 4.

[0019] Regardless of the color of the tape as the article to be stored 4, patterns or characters may be printed thereon, or it may be a plain tape. Further, the article to be stored 4 may be a rope, a string, a ribbon, or the like.

[0020] The storage portion 20 is a space provided in the belt-like body 2 for storing articles. Also, as shown in FIG. 2, the storage portion 20 extends flatly between the front portion 2A of the belt-like body 2 for storing articles and the back portion 2B of the belt-like body 2 for storing articles to such an extent that the article to be stored 4 can be arranged. This storage portion 20 is continuous from one end to the other end in the longitudinal direction of the belt-like body 2 for storing articles.

[0021] As shown in FIG. 1, the front portion 2A of the belt-like body 2 for storing articles is a portion that constitutes the front side in the thickness direction of the belt-like body 2 for storing articles. Also, at least a part of the front portion 2A has transparency such that the article to be stored 4 stored in the storage portion 20 can be visually recognized from the outside. In this embodiment, substantially the entire region in the longitudinal direction of the front portion 2A has transparency. Also, substantially the entire region in the short-side direction of the front portion 2A of the belt-like body 2 for storing articles has transparency. In this embodiment, the front portion 2A includes a transparent portion 21 having transparency and an opaque portion 22.

[0022] The transparent portion 21 is composed of a colorless and transparent resin sheet. Also, the transparent portion 21 has flexibility such that it can be bent in a state where the article to be stored 4 is stored. Note that the transparent portion 21 may be composed of a colored and transparent sheet. In this embodiment, the transparent portion 21 covers the front side of the article to be stored 4, but may be composed of an opening (window portion) without a sheet. Also, the transparent portion 21 may include both an opening and a portion composed of a transparent sheet.

[0023] The opaque portion 22 may be made of, for example, cloth, but may be composed of a colored and opaque sheet. The opaque portion 22 constitutes the part of the front portion 2A of the article storage strip 2 that is excluding the transparent portion 21. In this embodiment, the opaque portion 22 is formed in a shape that surrounds the transparent portion 21, that is, in a frame shape.

[0024] The back portion 2B of the item storage strip 2 is the part that constitutes the back side in the thickness direction of the item storage strip 2. An opening / closing portion 23 is also provided on the back portion 2B.

[0025] As shown in Figure 2, the opening / closing section 23 is continuous from one end to the other in the longitudinal direction of the article storage strip 2. Furthermore, the opening / closing section 23 allows for the insertion and removal of stored articles 4 without requiring the opening of both ends of the storage section 20 (for example, an opening that requires the removal of metal fittings at both ends). In this embodiment, the opening / closing section 23 is composed of a first strip 231 and a second strip 232 arranged parallel to each other in the longitudinal direction. The first strip 231 and the second strip 232 are made of the same material as the opaque section 22, but they may be made of different materials. In this opening / closing section 23, by separating the first strip 231 and the second strip 232 in the short direction of the article storage strip 2, an opening 230 is created in the opening / closing section 23 through which the stored articles 4 can pass. When this "separation" is stopped, the first strip 231 and the second strip 232 return to their original state (the state in which the opening 230 is not created). Therefore, it is possible to decorate personal belongings with the stored items 4, and the strap 1 can be used as so-called "fan activity goods".

[0026] In the above-described item storage strip 2, the items to be stored 4 can be inserted into and removed from the opening / closing section 23 that extends from one end to the other in the longitudinal direction of the item storage strip 2. Furthermore, because the opening 230 created by separating the first strip portion 231 and the second strip portion 232 of the opening / closing section 23 is wide in the longitudinal direction, the strip-shaped items to be stored 4 can be easily stored.

[0027] As shown in Figure 1, in this embodiment, the item storage strip 2 has a connecting portion 24 at its longitudinal end that can be attached to or detached from other items. Specifically, one connecting portion 24 is provided at each of the longitudinal ends of the item storage strip 2. Alternatively, the item storage strip 2 may have a connecting portion 24 at only one longitudinal end. Furthermore, the item storage strip 2 may not have a connecting portion 24 at all.

[0028] The connecting portion 24 is detachable from the strap portion 3 as another item. The strap portion 3 is detachable from an existing strap holder attached to a smartphone. The connecting portion 24 may also be directly detachable from an existing strap holder attached to a smartphone.

[0029] In this embodiment, the connecting portion 24 comprises a cloth base portion 241 and a metal connecting body portion 242. The base portion 241 is a cloth strip that is folded into an annular shape. Both longitudinal ends of the base portion 241 are sewn to the ends of the item storage strip 2, with the item storage strip 2 sandwiched between them in the thickness direction. The connecting body portion 242 is fixed to the end of the base portion 241 opposite to the end fixed to the item storage strip 2.

[0030] With this configuration, the stored item 4 can be visible from the outside, and other items, such as a smartphone, can be hung from the item storage belt 2. In addition to a smartphone, stuffed animals, keychains, etc., can also be hung from the connecting part 24.

[0031] In the opening / closing section 23 shown in Figure 2, the first strip-shaped portion 231 and the second strip-shaped portion 232 partially overlap in the shorter direction. In this embodiment, the second strip-shaped portion 232 overlaps the first strip-shaped portion 231 so as to cover almost the entire back side of the first strip-shaped portion 231. In this way, the partial overlap of the strip-shaped portions 231 and 232 ensures that the stored item 4 is securely held in the storage section 20. That is, the silver tape, which is the stored item 4, is less likely to protrude from the opening 230 of the opening / closing section 23 to the outside of the storage section 20 and less likely to fall out of the storage section 20. In addition, because there is a region where the first strip-shaped portion 231 and the second strip-shaped portion 232 overlap, the stored item 4 can be protected from damage.

[0032] The item storage strip 2 may also be provided with one or more fixing parts to secure the overlapping state of the strip portions 231 and 232. This prevents the opening 230 from unexpectedly occurring. For example, the item storage strip 2 may be provided with hook-and-loop fasteners, snap buttons, etc., on each of the strip portions 231 and 232 that can be locked together, as such fixing parts.

[0033] The article storage strip of this invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of this invention.

[0034] In the above embodiment, the item storage strip 2 was applied to a strap, but it may also be applied to a bag as shown in Figures 3 and 4. The bag 5 shown in Figure 3 is, for example, a tote bag sized to hold a fan. The bag 5 shown in Figure 4 is, for example, a bag sized to hold a penlight.

[0035] These bags 5 include an item storage section 50 having a space for storing items (for example, items used when attending concerts or events, such as fans or penlights), and a handle 51 including an item storage strip 2. The handle 51 is capable of supporting the item storage section 50 by suspending it. In this embodiment, the handle 51 is detachable from the item storage section 50, but it may also be fixed to the item storage section 50 in a non-detachable manner. This bag 5 is a bag with a handle 51 that allows the stored items 4 to be seen from the outside.

[0036] In this bag 5 as well, the first strip portion 231 and the second strip portion 232 partially overlap in the shorter direction. Therefore, the stored item 4 can be securely held in the storage section 20. In other words, the silver tape, which is the stored item 4, is less likely to protrude from the opening 230 of the opening / closing section 23 to the outside of the storage section 20 and less likely to fall out of the storage section 20.

[0037] The handle 51 shown in Figure 3 is long enough to be carried over the user's shoulder, but it may also be a length suitable for the user to carry by hand. The item storage band 2 included in this handle 51 has three fixing parts 25 spaced apart in the longitudinal direction. The fixing parts 25 are hook-and-loop fasteners provided on each band 231, 232 that can be locked together.

[0038] As shown in Figure 5, the item storage strip 2 may be applied to the decorative element 6. The decorative element 6 can be used as a charm to hang from a bag or smartphone, a decorative element for a penlight or fan, a hair clip, etc.

[0039] The decorative body 6 comprises a ribbon-shaped main body 60 made from a strip-shaped material storage body 2, and a fastener 61. The decorative body 6 also includes an attachment 62. In this embodiment, the decorative body 6 has a bow shape after being folded, but it may have other shapes such as a heart shape, flower shape, or star shape when viewed from above.

[0040] The main body 60 is entirely transparent and has the flexibility to be bent while storing soft items 4. That is, the entire front part 2A and the back part 2B of the item storage strip 2 that constitute the main body 60 are transparent and have the flexibility to be bent while storing soft items 4. In this embodiment, the main body 60 is a strip-shaped resin sheet and has a bow-knot shape.

[0041] The fastener 61 is separate from the main body 60 and maintains the folded state of the main body 60 (in this embodiment, the bow-knot shape of the main body 60) by engaging with the main body 60. In this embodiment, the fastener 61 engages with the main body 60 by surrounding the central part of the loop portion of the bow-knot shaped main body 60 from the outside. The fastener 61 of the main body 60 also comprises a band-shaped fixing main body portion 610 and a fixing connection portion 611.

[0042] The fixed body portion 610 has flexibility, for example, that allows it to be bent. The fixed body portion 610 is a strip-shaped resin sheet. In this embodiment, the fixed connection portion of the fixed body portion 610 can be bent into a ring shape. The ring-shaped fixed body portion 610 surrounds the central part of the loop portion of the bow-shaped body 60 from the outside.

[0043] The fixing connector 611 engages with the fixing body 610 to maintain the bent state of the fixing body 610 (in this embodiment, the fixing body 610 is in an annular shape). The fixing connector 611 is, for example, a snap button provided at the longitudinal end of the fixing body 610, but it may also be a button, hook, hook-and-loop fastener, magnet, etc. The fastener 61 may be a clip or scissors-like object in which the fixing body 610 and the fixing connector 611 are integrated. The fastener 61 may also be ring-shaped or string-shaped.

[0044] The mounting bracket 62 is a component for attaching the decorative element 6 to an object. In this embodiment, the mounting bracket 62 is made of metal and is, for example, a D-ring. However, the mounting bracket 62 may also be a ring, clip, or the like made of silicone or rubber.

[0045] This decorative element 6 is a decorative element that allows the stored item 4 to be seen from the outside. The fastener 61 may be fixed to the main body 60 and may maintain the folded state of the main body 60 by engaging with the main body 60.

[0046] In the decorative body 6, the first band-shaped portion 231 and the second band-shaped portion 232 do not overlap in the shorter direction in order to facilitate folding into a bow knot shape, etc., but they may partially overlap in the shorter direction.

[0047] Even when the item storage strip 2 is applied to the strap 1 or bag 5, the entire item storage strip 2 may be transparent. In this case as well, the item storage strip 2 may have the flexibility to be bent while containing soft items 4 to be stored. [Explanation of Symbols]
