Detachable bottom support for bags

Abstract

The present invention provides a bag bottom support that can be easily attached and detached without any processing such as drilling holes in the bag itself, and that can prevent the bottom of the bag from sagging and provide stable support. [Solution] The detachable bag bottom support 1 according to the present invention comprises a base portion 2 attached to the bottom surface of the bag 5, a total of five legs: four corner legs 3a located near the four corners of the lower surface of the base portion 2 and one center leg 3b located in the center, and a first hook-and-loop fastener 4a provided on the upper surface of the base portion 2 and detachably connected to a second hook-and-loop fastener 4b fixed to the bottom surface of the bag 5. This supports the bottom surface of the bag 5 without drilling holes in the bag body, while suppressing contact with the floor surface due to deflection of the center of the bottom surface.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a bottom support for bags, which is detachably attached to the bottom surface of a bag and supports the bag by spacing it apart from a floor surface or the like.

Background Art

[0002] Conventionally, in order to prevent the bottom surface of a bag from being soiled or worn by directly contacting the floor surface or the like, it is common practice to attach a bottom support member to the bottom surface of the bag. Further, as a bottom support member that can be retrofitted, a structure is known in which a hole is made in the fabric of the bag, the leg portion of a rivet is passed through the hole, and the rivet is locked from the back side of the bag with a fixing member (for example, Japanese Utility Model Registration No. 3197754). Furthermore, in order to protect the bottom corner portions of the bag, there are also reinforcing metal fittings that are placed over the corners of the bag and fixed using fasteners such as rivets and screws (for example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 62-155622).

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] However, in the conventional fixing structure using penetrating members or fasteners, it is necessary to perform permanent processing such as making holes in the bag body, and there has been psychological and physical resistance that the valuable bag will be damaged. In addition, once fixed, it cannot be easily removed, and there are problems that it becomes an obstacle during replacement when the leg portions are worn out, or during maintenance (such as full washing) of the bag. Furthermore, in the conventional structure that supports only the four corners, when a heavy object is placed in the bag, the central portion of the bottom surface of the bag bends downward, and eventually comes into contact with the floor surface and gets dirty, which is also a problem to be solved.

[0005] This invention was made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and aims to provide a bag bottom support that can be easily attached and detached without any processing such as drilling holes in the bag body, and that can prevent the center of the bottom surface of the bag from sagging and provide stable support. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] To achieve the above objective, the detachable bag bottom support according to the present invention is characterized by comprising: a base portion attached to the bottom surface of a bag; a total of five legs consisting of four corner legs positioned near the four corners of the lower surface of the base portion and one center leg positioned in the center of the lower surface of the base portion; and a first hook-and-loop fastener provided on the upper surface of the base portion and detachably connected to a second hook-and-loop fastener provided on the bottom surface of the bag.

[0007] Furthermore, it is preferable that the first hook-and-loop fastener is positioned near the four corners and in the center of the upper surface of the base portion. [Effects of the Invention]

[0008] According to this invention, since the support is attached to the surface of the bag using hook-and-loop fasteners, the bottom support can be securely and easily attached without any processing such as drilling holes in the bag itself. Furthermore, the detachable structure using hook-and-loop fasteners allows for easy replacement of worn legs and removal when cleaning the bag. In addition, by providing a center leg in addition to the four corner legs to create a five-point support structure, the sagging of the center of the bag's bottom surface is physically supported, and contact with the floor surface can be effectively suppressed. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[Figure 2] This is a bottom view of a bag bottom support according to an embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 3] This is a front view of a bag bottom support according to an embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 4]This is a front view showing the usage state of a bag bottom support according to an embodiment of the present invention. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0010] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

[0011] As shown in Figures 1 to 4, the bottom support for a bag according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises a base portion 2 formed in the shape of a substantially rectangular plate, a plurality of legs 3a, 3b that come into contact with the floor surface, and a first hook-and-loop fastener 4a that serves as a means for attaching to a bag 5.

[0012] Figure 1 is a plan view of the bag bottom support 1 as seen from the top surface 2a. A first hook-and-loop fastener 4a for attachment to the bottom surface of the bag 5 is fixed to the top surface 2a of the base portion 2. In this embodiment, the first hook-and-loop fastener 4a is positioned near the four corners and in the center of the top surface 2a of the base portion 2.

[0013] Figure 2 is a bottom view of the bag bottom support 1 as seen from the bottom surface 2b. The bottom surface 2b of the base portion 2 is provided with four corner legs 3a located near the four corners and one center leg 3b located in the center, in order to support the bag bottom support 1 by lifting it off the floor.

[0014] Figure 3 is a front view of the bag bottom support 1. The base portion 2 is flanked by the first hook-and-loop fastener 4a on the top surface and the corner legs 3a on the bottom surface. The center leg 3b in the central part is located behind the corner legs 3a and is therefore shown with a hidden line, and similarly the first hook-and-loop fastener 4a located in the central part is also shown with a hidden line.

[0015] Figure 4 is a front view showing a use state in which the present invention is attached to a bag 5 and placed on a floor surface 6. A second surface fastener 4b is previously fixed to the bottom surface of the bag 5. By pressing a first surface fastener 4a of the bag bottom support 1 against the second surface fastener 4b, the two are engaged, and the bag bottom support 1 is detachably fixed to the bottom surface of the bag 5 without performing hole-punching processing on the bag body.

[0016] When the bag 5 is placed on the floor surface, four corner leg portions 3a and one center leg portion 3b are in contact with the floor surface. Thereby, even when the weight of the bag 5 is increased by putting luggage therein and the central portion of the bottom surface tends to bend downward, the center leg portion 3b supports this, so that the direct contact of the bottom surface of the bag 5 with the floor surface can be suppressed.

[0017] In addition, when removing the present bag bottom support 1, it is only necessary to peel off the engagement between the first surface fastener 4a and the second surface fastener 4b, so that the present bag bottom support 1 can be easily separated without using any tool or the like.

[0018] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment. For example, the shape of the base portion 2 is not limited to a fixed substantially rectangular plate shape, and a slidable or other telescopically extendable structure may be adopted so that the length can be adjusted according to the size of the bottom surface of the target bag.
