[0002] Generally, many backpacks are vertically long in shape, and when storing a large number of items, it is difficult to immediately find the items located near the bottom at a glance.

[0003] Especially among individuals with inattentive-type attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, there are cases where they misperceive that there is nothing they cannot see, or they forget that they have stored something in a bag such as a backpack. As a result, items may be left in the backpack for a long time, or it often leads to a situation where they take out all the contents of the backpack to check in order to find an object.

[0004] Therefore, a backpack with excellent visibility is desired. As an invention that can meet such a demand, Patent Document 1 discloses a bag that separately stores small items and allows the contents of the stored items to be distinguishable at a glance. This bag is provided with one or more pockets with content displays of the stored items.

[0005] Also, Patent Document 2 discloses a bag in which the storage part inside the bag is divided, and a display part for displaying the contents is provided at each divided part.

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0019] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the invention will be outlined with reference to the drawings. Note that the embodiments of the components of the present invention are not limited to the following embodiments at all, and various forms can be adopted as long as they belong to the technical scope of the present invention. Also, in each figure, U means upward and D means downward.

[0020] FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 show a backpack 1 according to the present invention. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the backpack 1, and FIG. 2 is a development view showing the state where the article storage part 2 is opened. The backpack 1 described in this embodiment is composed of a bag-shaped article storage part 2 including a back contact surface 2a that faces the user's back during use, and a pair of shoulder belts 3 provided on the back wall 20 thereof. With these shoulder belts 3, the user can carry the backpack 1 on the back.

[0021] The article storage part 2 is formed in a bag shape with a hollow inside. Specifically, it is composed of a front wall 10, a back wall 20, and a peripheral wall 30 including an upper wall 31, a bottom wall 32, and both side walls 33 and 34, and its outer shell is configured.

[0022] This backpack 1 has a fastener 40 attached to the article storage section 2, which continuously reaches from above one side wall 34 of the peripheral wall 30 to the upper surface wall 31, the other side wall 33, the bottom wall 32, and then to below the one side wall 34. The article storage section 2 can be opened and closed in a butterfly shape with the portion where the fastener 40 is not provided as the base 35.

[0023] More specifically, the article storage section 2 is opened and closed by the fastener 40 and two sliders 41, 41 attached to the fastener 40. By pulling the sliders 41, 41 away from each other above and below one side wall 34 of the peripheral wall 30, it can be fully opened. When the article storage section 2 is fully opened, it will open in a butterfly shape with the base 35, which is the portion of the side wall 34 where the fastener 40 is not provided, as the fulcrum.

[0024] Inside the article storage section 2, a plurality of storage sections 52 are formed. Specifically, there are a plurality of partition plates 51 supported and fixed inside the article storage section 2 by the base 35. One or more storage sections 52 with open tops are provided respectively between one partition plate 51 and the front wall 10, between the plurality of partition plates 51, and between another partition plate 51 and the rear wall 20.

[0025] The partition plate 51 is made of a plate-like material such as polyethylene and has a certain degree of firmness. Although detailed illustration is omitted in FIG. 2, the partition plate 51 is covered with, for example, a water-repellent (or waterproof) fabric. And the above-mentioned fabric and the base 35 are fixed by methods such as sewing.

[0026] The entire surface wall inside the article storage section 2 is covered with the water-repellent (or waterproof) fabric in a form that does not prevent the article storage section 2 from being opened and closed in a butterfly shape.

[0027] The storage part 52 is formed in a form capable of accommodating articles inside. Specifically, a bottom surface 52b is formed at its lower part with the water-repellent (or waterproof) fabric, and vertical walls 52a are formed with the water-repellent (or waterproof) fabric in the vertical direction along the side wall 34 (see Fig. 1). Further, each side surface of the storage part 52 is composed of the front wall 10 or the rear wall 20 in addition to the partition plate 51. With such a shape, the storage part 52 becomes a bag shape with an open upper part, and articles can be accommodated inside. Note that the bottom surface 52b also has a function as a crotch part and does not prevent the opening and closing of the article storage part 2.

[0028] Hereinafter, an example of the procedure for accommodating and taking out articles inside by opening the backpack 1 of the present embodiment shown in the perspective view of Fig. 1 as shown in the developed view of Fig. 2 will be described in more detail.

[0029] First, operate the two sliders 41, 41 shown in Fig. 1 and move them to the ends of both ends of the fastener 40, that is, to the ends on the side of one side wall 34, 34 arranged via the base part 35, respectively.

[0030] Next, with the base part 35 shown in Fig. 1 as a fulcrum, separate the front wall 10 side and the rear wall 20 side from each other, so that, as shown in Fig. 2, the article storage part 2 is in a double-doors open state and its inside is opened. By making the article storage part 2 in the double-doors open state in this way, a plurality of partition plates 51, two partition plates 51, 51 in the illustrated example, are separated so as to be separated to the front wall 10 side and the rear wall 20 side, respectively. As a result, a bag-shaped storage part 52 is three-dimensionally developed between one partition plate 51 and the other partition plate 51.

[0031] At the same time, between each of the two partition plates 51, 51 and the front wall 10 or the rear wall 20 (both refer to FIG. 1), a plurality of bag-shaped storage portions 52 are three-dimensionally deployed with a capacity slightly smaller than that of the storage portion 52 deployed between the two partition plates 51, 51. In the example shown in FIG. 2 (also refer to FIG. 1), between one partition plate 51 and the front wall 10, two storage portions 52 are arranged side by side in the vertical direction (refer to the arrows U and D in FIGS. 1 and 2), and between the other partition plate 51 and the rear wall 20, one storage portion 52 having a vertically long shape in front view is arranged.

[0032] Next, appropriately store articles (not shown in the figure) in the plurality of storage portions 52 three-dimensionally deployed in the article storage portion 2. Then, close the article storage portion 2 that is in the open state like a double door with the base portion 35 as a fulcrum, and in this state, close the fastener 40 by operating the two sliders 41, 41 shown in FIG. 1. As a result, it becomes possible to carry the backpack 1 without articles leaking from the article storage portion 2.

[0033] On the other hand, when taking out an article (not shown in the figure) from the article storage portion 2, again, move the two sliders 41, 41 shown in FIG. 1 to both ends of the fastener 40, and while opening the inside of the article storage portion 2, deploy the plurality of storage portions 52 inside this article storage portion 2. Thereby, it becomes possible to take out articles from the storage portion 52 in the article storage portion 2.

[0034] According to the backpack 1 of the present embodiment, by adopting the configuration including a plurality of storage portions 52 deployed in the article storage portion 2 as described above, it is possible to avoid the inconvenience that things existing near the bottom inside, like a normal backpack, cannot be visually recognized. Thereby, regardless of the characteristics of the user of the backpack 1, for example, it is possible to prevent, as much as possible, situations where the user misinterprets something that cannot be visually recognized inside the article storage portion 2 as non-existent, or forgets that something has been stored inside the backpack.

[0035] Furthermore, in the invention according to claim 2, the storage part 52 is formed in a bag shape including a vertical wall 52a arranged along the partition plate 51, the front wall 10 or the rear wall 20, and a bottom surface 52b arranged on the side opposite to the open upper part. And a pocket part 53 made of a transparent resin sheet is provided on each vertical wall 52a. This pocket part 53 is configured in a bag shape with an open upper part (refer to arrow U in FIG. 2), for example, by fixing the part excluding the upper surface of the transparent resin sheet to the fabric forming the storage part 52 by a method such as heat bonding.

[0036] According to the invention described in claim 2, by inserting a piece of paper or the like on which the name of an article (not shown) stored in the storage part 52 and the like are written into the bag-shaped pocket part 53, when taking out an article from the plurality of storage parts 52 provided inside the article storage part 2, it becomes easier to know which storage part 52 the required article is stored in. As a result, the stored articles can be recognized more easily without rummaging through the inside of the backpack 1. Therefore, regardless of the characteristics of the user of the backpack 1, it is possible to quickly take out the necessary articles.
