Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a pocket structure and bags. Specifically, it relates to a pocket structure provided in a bag and a bag provided with the pocket structure. More specifically, for example, it relates to a pocket structure provided in a bag for accommodating a pet therein and storing a blower or the like, and a bag provided with the pocket structure.

Background Art

[0002] Bags such as pet carrier bags for accommodating and carrying pets such as dogs and cats therein are known. Particularly in summer, since the temperature inside such a pet carrier bag also rises, there is a risk that the pet accommodated inside may develop heat stroke or other physical problems.

[0003] Therefore, as disclosed in Patent Documents 1 to 3, pet carrier bags have been proposed in which a fan is provided on the side wall of the pet carrier bag to blow air inside for cooling.

[0004] However, providing a fan in a pet carrier bag requires providing a mechanism for driving the fan in the pet carrier bag, which complicates the structure of the pet carrier bag and increases the manufacturing cost.

[0005] In addition, a pet carrier bag provided with a fan has a disadvantage in that the weight of the entire pet carrier bag also increases due to the weight of the device related to the fan. Also, in winter or the like, although there is no need to cool the inside and the fan is unnecessary, since the fan cannot be removed, there is also a disadvantage that a heavy pet carrier bag with a fan must be used throughout the year.

MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

[0019] Hereinafter, the pocket structure and bags of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In all the drawings for explaining the embodiments, common components are denoted by the same reference numerals, and repeated explanations are omitted. Further, unless otherwise specified, the pocket structure and bags of the present invention can be composed of the same materials as ordinary pocket structures and bags, and can be manufactured by the same methods as ordinary pocket structures and bags. Note that FIGS. 1 to 4 show an example of the pocket structure and bags of the present invention, and the pocket structure and bags of the present invention are not limited to the forms shown in these drawings.

[0020] As shown in FIG. 2, the pocket structure 1 according to the first aspect of the present invention includes a pocket base 2 made of a breathable material, and a pocket fabric 7 having an upper edge portion 3, a left side portion 4, a right side portion 5, and a bottom portion 6. The pocket fabric 7 in which the left side portion 4, the right side portion 5, and the bottom portion 6 are joined to the pocket base 2 forms a pocket storage portion 8, the upper edge portion 3 constitutes an opening 9 of the pocket storage portion 8, and an elastic member 10 is provided on the upper edge portion 3.

[0021] The pocket structure 1 of the present invention is provided assuming that a blower or the like is stored in the pocket storage portion 8 as shown in FIG. 4, but it does not exclude storing things other than the blower or the like. In the present invention, the blower or the like is typically exemplified by a portable fan, but is not limited thereto, and includes devices having a blowing function, a cold air blowing function, a cooling function, a warm air blowing function, a heating function, etc.

[0022] The pocket base 2 is the fabric that constitutes the bag in which the pocket structure 1 is provided, and is the fabric that partitions the main compartment of the bag and the pocket storage portion 8. The pocket base 2 is made of a breathable material. Here, the breathable material is, for example, a mesh-like material. Thereby, when the blower or the like is stored in the pocket storage portion 8 with the blowing direction of the blower or the like, that is, the direction of the destination of the wind, being the direction of the main compartment of the bag, the wind generated by the blower or the like can be sufficiently sent into the main compartment of the bag. Although not particularly limited, the pocket base 2 is preferably configured in a substantially rectangular shape as shown in FIG. 2, and its vertical and horizontal dimensions are preferably 12 to 20 cm respectively, more preferably 14 to 18 cm respectively. By setting the pocket base 2 to such preferable dimensions, it is possible to effectively prevent the blower or the like stored in the pocket storage portion 8 from falling off.

[0023] The pocket fabric 7 includes an upper edge portion 3, a left side portion 4, a right side portion 5, and a bottom side portion 6 as shown in FIG. 2. The left side portion 4, the right side portion 5, and the bottom side portion 6 of the pocket fabric 7 are joined to the left side, the right side, and the bottom of the pocket base 2 respectively to form the pocket storage portion 8. Thereby, the pocket base 2 and the pocket fabric 7 constitute the pocket structure 1. Specifically, the pocket base 2 constitutes the inner side of the pocket structure 1, that is, the main compartment side, and the pocket fabric 7 constitutes the outer side of the pocket structure 1. Also, the upper edge portion 3 of the pocket fabric 7 constitutes the opening 9 of the pocket storage portion 8. Since the blower or the like can be stored in the pocket storage portion 8 configured in this way, it is possible to detachably provide the blower or the like to the pocket structure 1.

[0024] The pocket fabric 7 can also be made of a breathable material. In this invention, it is basically assumed that the airflow direction of the blower, etc., is set towards the main compartment of the bag, as shown in Figure 4, in order to cool the inside of the main compartment. However, if the pocket fabric 7 is made of a breathable material, the blower, etc., can be stored in the pocket storage section 8 in a direction different from that of the main compartment of the bag, for example, the person carrying the bag can use the blower, etc., for themselves without having to hold it in their hand.

[0025] In this invention, the type of fabric used for the pocket base 2 and the pocket fabric 7 is not particularly limited. Depending on the function and use of the bag in which the pocket structure 1 is provided, an appropriate fabric made from natural fibers, synthetic fibers, or mixtures of natural and synthetic fibers can be used.

[0026] The upper edge portion 3 is the part that constitutes the opening 9 of the pocket storage portion 8, and is a roughly band-shaped portion near the upper edge of the pocket fabric 7. The bottom edge portion 6 is the part that, together with the bottom edge of the pocket base portion 2, constitutes the bottom of the pocket storage portion 8, and is the part that constitutes the bottom of the pocket fabric 7. The left side portion 4 is the part that, together with the left side of the pocket base portion 2, constitutes the left side of the pocket storage portion 8, and is the part that constitutes the left side of the pocket fabric 7. The right side portion 5 is the part that, together with the right side of the pocket base portion 2, constitutes the right side of the pocket storage portion 8, and is the part that constitutes the right side of the pocket fabric 7. The left end of the upper edge portion 3 and the upper part of the left side portion 4 are not clearly distinguishable; in other words, the left end of the upper edge portion 3 constitutes the upper part of the left side portion 4, and the upper part of the left side portion 4 constitutes the left end of the upper edge portion 3. Similarly, the right end of the upper edge portion 3 constitutes the upper part of the right side portion 5, and the upper part of the right side portion 5 constitutes the right end of the upper edge portion 3.

[0027] An expandable member 10 is provided on the upper edge portion 3. Specifically, for example, the upper part of the pocket fabric 7 can be folded back to form the upper edge portion 3 into a cylindrical shape, and the expandable member 10 can be provided inside this cylindrical shape. The upper edge portion 3 constitutes the opening 9 of the pocket storage portion 8, and by providing the expandable member 10 on the upper edge portion 3, it becomes possible to prevent the blower or the like stored in the pocket storage portion 8 from falling out of the pocket storage portion 8.

[0028] As the stretchable member 10, for example, a strip of rubber, rubber tape, flat rubber, etc., can be used.

[0029] A second aspect of the present invention, as shown in Figures 1 and 3, is that the pocket storage section 8 is provided so as to be able to protrude outward in a bag-like manner, and the opening 9 is provided so as to be able to narrow. Here, "protruding outward in a bag-like manner" means that, as shown in Figure 3, it can protrude in a bag-like manner in the direction opposite to the main compartment of the bag.

[0030] In a second aspect of this invention, the pocket fabric 7 is made of a fabric having a horizontal dimension larger than the horizontal dimension of the pocket base 2, and is joined to the pocket base 2 by gathering or gusseting, etc., so that the pocket fabric 7 bulges outward as shown in Figure 3. This makes it possible to provide a pocket storage portion 8 that can protrude outward in a bag-like shape.

[0031] In a second aspect of the present invention, for example, the elastic member 10 can be attached to the upper edge 3 in such a way that the opening 9 narrows by lightly pulling and applying tension to the elastic member 10 while zigzag sewing the upper edge 3 and the elastic member 10 together.

[0032] According to a second aspect of the present invention, since the pocket storage section 8 is provided so as to be able to protrude outward in a bag-like shape, the main parts of a blower or the like can be stored inside the pocket storage section 8, and since the opening 9 is provided so as to be able to narrow, it is possible to more effectively prevent the blower or the like stored in the pocket storage section 8 from falling out of the pocket storage section 8.

[0033] A third aspect of the present invention is a bag 100 equipped with the pocket structure 1 described above. The location of the pocket structure 1 in the bag 100 is not particularly limited. Also, the number of pocket structures 1 in the bag 100 is not particularly limited, so it is possible to provide multiple pocket structures 1 in one bag 100. The configuration of the bag 100 other than the pocket structure 1 can be the same as that of a normal bag. Since a blower or the like can be attached to the bag 100 in a detachable manner, if there is no need to use the blower or the like, the bag 100 can be used as a normal bag without the blower or the like. Furthermore, since the blower or the like is not attached to the bag 100 itself, the bag 100 can have a simple structure, and the manufacturing cost of the bag 100 can be reduced.

[0034] A fourth aspect of the present invention is a backpack 110 for accommodating a pet inside, i.e., in the main compartment, and equipped with the pocket structure 1 described above. The position of the pocket structure 1 in the backpack 110 is not particularly limited. Also, the number of pocket structures 1 in the backpack 110 is not particularly limited, so it is possible to provide multiple pocket structures 1 in one backpack 110. The configuration of the backpack 110 other than the pocket structure 1 can be the same as that of a normal backpack for accommodating a pet. Because the backpack 110 is equipped with the pocket structure 1, sufficient air can be circulated to the pet accommodating it inside the main compartment of the backpack 110, making it possible to maintain a good environment inside the backpack and the pet's physical condition.

[0035] A fifth aspect of the present invention is a backpack 110 for accommodating a pet, which is equipped with the previously described pocket structure 1 as a side pocket. This allows a blower or the like to be stored in the side pocket of the backpack 110, preventing the blower or the like from getting in the way when opening or closing other pockets of the backpack 110.

[0036] A side pocket is a pocket provided on the left and / or right side of a backpack, as shown in Figure 1. In the fifth embodiment of this invention, the pocket structure 1 can be provided on either the left or right side of the backpack 110, or on both sides. Furthermore, for example, if the pocket structure 1 is provided on only one side of the backpack 110, it is not essential, but part or all of the other side can be made of a breathable material. This promotes the circulation of air generated by a fan or the like within the backpack 110, allowing sufficient airflow to be provided to the pet housed in the main compartment of the backpack 110, thereby maintaining a better environment inside the backpack and the pet's health.
