Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to bags that have an opening that can be easily opened and closed, for example, by moving the handle closer to or further away from the bag, that allow for insertion and removal of a mobile information terminal such as a smartphone even when the bag is closed, and that can also store and hold electronic terminal devices such as a laptop computer, and that can stand upright when stored in the bag. Not only that, but also that can be used by both men and women for both business and private use. [Background technology]

[0002] Various bags with handles (carrying handles, handles) known as tote bags have been proposed. Various types of bags are available with openings, such as a type that is always open and a type that has a closing device and is completely or partially closed.

[0003] Closures for closing the opening include zippers, buttons and hooks, loops, magnets, etc. Magnetic structures using magnets can close the opening by the magnetic action of matching the magnetic surfaces, and can be conveniently opened by forcibly separating the magnets.

[0004] For example, there are Patent Document 1, which relates to bags, and Patent Documents 2 and 3, which relate to bags. The bag in Patent Document 1 has multiple magnets arranged on the inner surfaces of the opening pieces facing each other at the opening of the bag body, and the opening shape can be changed by selecting the parts to be magnetically attached. The bag in Patent Document 2 has magnets that close the opposing upper edges of the opening of the bag body. The bag in Patent Document 3 has a separate lid cover that covers the opening of the bag body and is magnetically attached to the bag body. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0005] [Patent Document 1] JP 2018-38596 A [Patent Document 2] Utility Model Registration No. 3096891 [Patent Document 3] Utility Model Registration No. 3065907 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] However, in the above-mentioned conventional magnetic closure structure, the upper edge of the opening of the bag body is overlapped face-to-face, so there is no risk of someone looking into the inside of the bag body from above. However, when the bag is closed, the entire opening must be opened to remove items stored in the bag body. In the case of a lid cover that can completely cover the opening, this is prepared as a separate part, so it is difficult to handle and manage. Moreover, the conventional closure structure is often difficult and inconvenient to handle, especially for people with disabilities, and people, including people with disabilities, often use the bag in the open state without closing it, which is not desirable from the perspective of crime prevention.

[0007] Moreover, in recent years, bags are increasingly being used for business purposes, not just as bags for storing various small items, but also for storing and carrying various electronic devices, for example, mobile information terminals such as smartphones, electronic terminal devices such as laptops, etc. Tote bags, which have traditionally been used mainly by women to store and carry such electronic devices and their peripherals, tend to get mixed up with the stored small items inside the bag, making it difficult to organize them.

[0008] In addition, business bags for business use are designed to be sturdy, so women are hesitant to use them. Also, women often carry mobile information terminals such as smartphones in their bags because there are no suitable storage pockets in their clothes to carry them directly on their bodies. This means that when they need to take out a mobile information terminal when they receive a call, it is troublesome to open the bag every time. On the other hand, even if men store such electronic devices, peripherals, etc. in their bags, the bag itself becomes bulky and difficult to handle.

[0009] The present invention was created in consideration of the various circumstances that existed in the past as described above, and aims to provide a bag that can be easily opened and closed by moving the opposing opening pieces at the opening of the bag body closer to or farther apart, that can easily take out and put in portable information terminals such as smartphones even when the bag is closed and blocked, and that can easily store and hold electronic terminal devices such as laptops, and that not only allows the bag itself to stand on its own by storing and holding these devices, but also has a good appearance that can be used by both men and women. [Means for solving the problem]

[0010] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention is characterized by comprising a bag body 1 formed in a box shape with an opening at the top, which is made up of bag side wall pieces 2 arranged opposite to each other, a bag bottom wall piece 3 arranged between the bottom parts of the bag side wall pieces 2, and side wall pieces 4 connecting the edges of the bag side wall pieces 2, an opening piece 5 continuous with the upper part of the bag side wall piece 4 opposite to each other so as to open and close the opening of the bag body 1, and a joining means 10 which magnetically joins opposing overlapping portions 11 formed at the ends of the opening pieces 5 adjacent to each other by overlapping them one above the other and the other below the other. When the overlapping portions 11 are overlapped and joined together by the joining means 10, the central portion of the opening piece 5 rises up to form an opening gap 15. The storage pocket 8A is disposed and formed in the bag body 1 immediately below the opening gap 15. can . The joining means 10 can be configured by arranging a magnet 12 in an overlapping portion 11 formed by bending and tilting the corner portions of the ends of each of the opposing opening pieces 5 into a triangular shape toward the inside of the bag body 1, so that when the opening pieces 5 are brought close to each other, the opposing overlapping portions 11 overlap vertically and are magnetically attached to each other. A handle 6 is connected to the opening pieces 5, and the opposing opening pieces 5 can be configured to move closer to or farther apart by using this handle 6. Each side wall piece 4 is formed with a supporting gusset portion 7 that protrudes outward from the bag body 1, and the supporting gusset portion 7 can be configured to extend substantially vertically from a portion of the side wall piece 4 that is spaced slightly above the continuous portion with the bag bottom wall piece 3 to the opening of the bag body 1. Between the support gussets 7, electronic terminal devices or partition pocket boards B can be supported and stored.

[0011] In the bags according to the present invention configured as described above, when the opening pieces 5 connected to the opposing bag side wall pieces 2 of the bag body 1 approach or separate from each other, when the overlapping portions 11 arranged at the ends of the opening pieces 5 approach each other in the joining means 10, the overlapping portions 11 overlap each other in the vertical direction and are magnetically attracted to each other by the magnets 12, thereby closing the opening of the bag body 1. Conversely, when the opening pieces 5 separate from each other, the magnetically attracted state of the overlapping portions 11 is forcibly released, and the opening of the bag body 1 is opened. Fold into a triangle BendAs the opening pieces 5 approach each other, the overlapping portion 11, which is inclined toward the inside of the bag body 1, rises up above the other and the other sinks below the other, overlapping and magnetically fixing them together to partially block the opening of the bag body 1. Conversely, forcibly separating the opening pieces 5 from each other releases the magnetically fixed state, spreading the opening pieces 5 apart and opening the opening of the bag body 1. Although the opening piece 5 closes the bag body 1 by the joining means 10, a mobile information terminal T such as a smartphone stored and held in a storage pocket 8A arranged directly below can be inserted and removed through the opening gap 15 which is slightly open in a raised shape. The support gusset portions 7 of the opposing side wall pieces 4 store and hold an electronic terminal device P, such as a notebook computer, between them, and also serve to support the bag body 1 itself and to organize various small items and articles stored within the bag body 1 by dividing it. The approaching and separating of the handle 6 connected to the opening piece 5 also causes the opposing opening pieces 5 to approach and separate from each other, thereby directly operating the opening and closing of the bag body 1. Effect of the Invention

[0012] Since the present invention is configured as described above, the opening can be easily closed or opened without applying force by moving the opening pieces 5 provided opposite each other at the opening of the bag body 1 close to or away from each other. Moreover, even when the opening pieces 5 are closed by the magnetic action of the joining means 10 between the ends of the opening pieces 5, it is possible to insert and remove a mobile information terminal T such as a smartphone through the slightly open opening gap 15. In addition, electronic terminal devices P such as a notebook computer can be stored and held between the support gusset parts 7, and when stored and held, the bag can stand on its own, and it has the advantage of being usable as a tote bag for a long time in any situation, regardless of gender, age, disability, fashion preference, etc.

[0013] That is, in the present invention, in the bag body 1 formed in a box shape with an opening at the top, joining means 10 is provided between the opening pieces 5 continuous with the upper parts of the opposing bag side wall pieces 2, overlapping and joining overlapping parts 11 formed at the ends of adjacent opening pieces 5. This allows the bag body 1 to be opened and closed by moving the opening pieces 5 closer to and farther away from each other, and even in the closed state, it is possible to insert and remove, for example, a portable information terminal T.

[0014] In addition, since the joining means 10 relies on a magnetic attraction action in which the upper and lower overlapping portions 11 at the ends of the opening piece 5 overlap, the bag body 1 can be opened and closed easily by moving the overlapping portions 11 closer to or farther away from each other, and since the handle 6 is connected to the opening piece 5, there is no need to laboriously operate the handle 6, making the opening and closing action even easier with a single touch, and the handles 6 can be naturally closed by simply bringing them close to each other.

[0015] The overlapping portion 11 is formed by folding the corner portion of the end of the opening piece 5 into a triangular shape. Bend By tilting the bag body 1 inward, the proximity of the opening pieces 5 causes the overlapping parts 11 to overlap one another, magnetically attracting the magnets 12 to easily close the opening of the bag body 1. The opening is closed by leaving only the opening gap 15 slightly open, so that even if a third party tries to peek into the bag body 1 from above, it is difficult to do so, privacy can be maintained, and it can also be used to prevent crime.

[0016] When the bag body 1 is closed by the joining means 10 which magnetically attaches the overlapping parts 11 to each other, the overlapping parts 11 overlap each other vertically, and coupled with their triangular shape, the center part of the opening piece 5 rises up to form an opening gap 15. This allows, for example, a portable information terminal T stored in the storage pocket 8A provided directly below the opening gap 15 to be taken in and out through this opening gap 15, without the need to open and close the opening each time, and without the need to open it wide, and so can be taken out quickly, for example, when a call comes in.

[0017] In addition, the support gussets 7 formed on each side wall piece 4 are formed to protrude outward from the bag body 1 and face each other, and an electronic terminal device P is supported and stored between the support gussets 7, so that when this electronic terminal device P and the partition pocket plate B, etc. are supported and stored within the bag body 1, the bag body 1 can be more reliably maintained in its self-supporting state, and by using these as partitions, it can be useful for organizing and tidying up small items and goods stored within the bag body 1. Since the electronic terminal device P, the partition pocket plate B, etc. can be supported and stored freely and arbitrarily, the bag body 1 can be used with or without these as partitions, so that it can be flexibly selected and used in various situations by selecting the items to be stored and changing the specifications to suit the purpose of use.

[0020] One embodiment of the present invention will now be described with reference to the drawings. The reference numeral 1 in the drawings denotes a bag body, which, as shown in the drawings, is formed in a box shape with an opening at the top, and which is made up of bag side wall pieces 2 arranged opposite each other, a bag bottom wall piece 3 arranged between the bottom portions of the bag side wall pieces 2, and side wall pieces 4 connecting the edges of the bag side wall pieces 2.

[0021] These wall pieces 2, 3, 4 are made of various materials that are used for general bags, such as leather, canvas, and other materials, and are mainly intended to be made of water-repellent, lightweight leather. In particular, it is preferable that the bag side wall pieces 2 and 4 have a rigidity sufficient to allow the bag body 1 to stand on its own, but it is not necessarily required that each of the bag side wall pieces 2 and 4 be rigid, as long as the opposing opening pieces 5, which will be described later, can be overlapped close to each other by operating the handle 6, and can be moved apart by operating the handle 6.

[0022] The bag side wall pieces 2 are provided with opposing opening pieces 5 in a continuous manner at the upper part of the bag side wall pieces 2. The opening pieces 5 are not provided above the side wall pieces 4, It opens and closes the opening of the bag body 1. When the opening of the bag body 1 is closed, the bags are arranged close to each other and can be stacked vertically.

[0023] Handles 6 are connected to the opening pieces 5, and as the handles 6 approach or move away from each other, the opening pieces 5 also approach or move away from each other. The opening pieces 5 are provided with a degree of rigidity that allows them to follow the movement of the handles 6 so that they can follow the operation of the handles 6.

[0024] The opening piece 5 is provided with a joining means 10 for maintaining the joined state when overlapped. This joining means 10 is based on the magnetic attraction generated between magnets 12 arranged at each end of the opening piece 5, and the overlapping ends have different polarities so that they can be joined.

[0025] As shown in FIG. 3, the joining means 10 is formed by folding the corners of the ends of the opposing opening pieces 5 into a triangular shape. Bend Magnets 12 are placed in the overlapping portions 11 so that when the opening pieces 5 are brought close to each other, the opposing overlapping portions 11 overlap vertically and are magnetically attracted to each other. The overlapping portions 11 are slightly inclined toward the inner side of the bag body 1, i.e., toward the other opposing opening piece 5, so that when they are brought close to each other, one is in the upper position and the other is in the lower position, and they overlap by the magnetic attraction generated between the upper and lower portions, so that they can be opened and closed semi-automatically by operating the handle 6. The triangular overlapping portions 11 themselves are provided with, for example, a somewhat hard rigid material to maintain their shape and to bias the bag body 1 in an inclined state toward the inner side.

[0026] In addition, the magnet 12 placed in the overlapping portion 11 is formed, for example, in a disk shape, and when the overlapping portions 11 are overlapped, care should be taken so that the magnet 12 is not visible from the top surface of the overlapping portion 11 in the upper position.

[0027] When the opposing opening pieces 5 are overlapped at their ends by the joining means 10, the center portions of the opening pieces 5 rise slightly, and an opening gap 15 is formed between the opening pieces 5, allowing the insertion and removal of small items and objects stored in the bag body 1. This opening gap 15 is generated when the slightly inclined triangular overlapping portions 11 of the joining means 10 are overlapped with each other, and the size of the opening gap 15 is set by appropriately adjusting the length, width, and height of the opening pieces 5, the size and inclination angle of the overlapping portions 11, and other factors.

[0028] Further, the opposing side wall pieces 4 are each formed with a supporting gusset portion 7 that protrudes outward from the bag body 1. The supporting gusset portion 7 is V-shaped when viewed from above (see FIG. 7), extends substantially vertically from a portion of the side wall piece 4 that is spaced slightly above the continuous portion with the bag bottom wall piece 3 to the opening of the bag body 1, and is made of a somewhat hard rigid material.

[0029] The distance between the innermost bottoms of the opposing support gussets 7 corresponds to the width of an electronic terminal device P such as a laptop computer or a partition pocket plate B, called a wall pocket, in which multiple pockets are arranged, and these are inserted and supported by sliding them from above between the support gussets 7, so that they can be detachably stored and used (see FIG. 5). The height of the bag side wall pieces 2 is not smaller than the height of the electronic terminal device P, so that the electronic terminal device P is stored and held snugly at the upper and lower positions between the support gussets 7. By storing and holding the electronic terminal device P snugly in this way, the bag body 1 itself is semi-rigid, the bag body 1 can stand on its own more reliably, and it also functions as a partition, making it useful for arranging and tidying up small items and goods stored in the bag body 1. Of course, the use and storage of the electronic terminal device P and the partition pocket plate B are both optional.

[0030] On the other hand, the bag body 1 is provided with a storage pocket 8A, partition wall 8B, and other components for storing various small items and articles, as shown in Fig. 6. In particular, the storage pocket 8A for storing a mobile information terminal T, such as a smartphone, directly through the opening gap 15 is formed on the inner surface of the bag side wall piece 2, for example, directly below the opening gap 15. In addition, a buffer board 8C for preventing external impacts and other damage to the stored electronic terminal device P is removably inserted on the bag bottom wall piece 3 surface of the bag body 1. The shape, size, position, and other components of the partition wall 8B and other components are arbitrarily set in accordance with the various small items and articles to be stored in the bag body 1, including whether or not they are necessary, and are not limited to the illustrated example.

[0031] Further, on the outer surface of the side wall piece 4, there is provided a connecting ring 9 for detachably connecting a shoulder belt S arranged diagonally above the opening of the bag body 1. On the outside of the bag body 1, an external pocket 8D is provided.

[0032] Next, an example of how to use this bag will be described. Various small items and articles are stored in the bag body 1. If necessary, a specified electronic terminal device P is inserted and supported between the support gussets 7 and stored via a buffer board 8C set on the bag bottom wall piece 3, and a portable information terminal T or the like is stored in the storage pocket 8A (see FIG. 1). Then, when the handles 6 are lifted and brought closer to each other, the opening pieces 5 also move closer to each other, and the magnets 12 of the joining means 10 at the ends of the opening pieces 5 are magnetically joined to close the opening (see FIG. 2). The bag can be carried or brought with you in this state.

[0033] For example, when a mobile information terminal T receives an incoming call, it can be taken out through the opening gap 15 without opening the bag body 1, and after use, it can be stored in the storage pocket 8A through the opening gap 15 in the same manner.

[0034] The stored electronic terminal device P can be taken out from inside the bag body 1 for use, and after use, it is inserted between the opposing support gusset portions 7 to be stored and held therein. [Explanation of symbols]
