Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a storage device to be attached to a schoolbag.

Background Art

[0002] Generally, a schoolbag has a schoolbag body having a main storage portion that opens upward, a lid member (cover) that is continuous with the rear wall portion of the schoolbag body and generally covers the upper part of the schoolbag body, and left and right shoulder belts attached to the rear surface side of the schoolbag body. Textbooks, notebooks, etc. are stored in the main storage portion which is the storage portion of the schoolbag body.

[0003] In addition, children attending elementary school need to bring various items to school in addition to textbooks and notebooks. Such items include, for example, gym clothes to be worn during physical education classes. Since gym clothes are relatively bulky, it is difficult to push them into the main storage portion of the schoolbag and go to school, and recently, there are also schools that specify bringing a towel in addition to gym clothes, and these are often put in a handbag other than the schoolbag and taken to school.

[0004] However, when going to school with a handbag in addition to the schoolbag, there were cases where the handbag was dragged or forgotten at school or on the way home. For such reasons, a storage device that can be attached to a schoolbag has been proposed.

[0005] For example, Patent Document 1 below describes an accessory bag provided with two storage bags located on the left and right of the schoolbag. [[ID=2...]]

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0007] However, the storage device described in Patent Document 1 above sometimes had usability issues. For example, when a towel was stored in one of the two storage bags, the bag containing the towel would bulge significantly, resulting in an unbalanced appearance.

[0008] The present invention has been made with the above-mentioned matters in mind, and relates to a storage device that can be attached to a school bag, which can store many items in a balanced manner and is easy to use. [Means for solving the problem]

[0009] To solve the above problems, a storage device was developed that attaches to a school bag, comprising a main storage compartment located at the top of the main storage space of the school bag, and left and right side storage compartments extending from the left and right sides of the main storage compartment and located outside the left and right side walls of the school bag. Hereafter, the "storage device that attaches to a school bag" may be simply referred to as the "storage device".

[0010] This storage unit has a main compartment in addition to the left and right side compartments, allowing it to store many items and making it very convenient to use. Furthermore, by storing items evenly in the left and right side storage compartments and the remaining items in the main compartment, a large number of items can be stored in a balanced manner. For example, if you need gym clothes and a towel for a physical education class, you can store the top and bottom of the gym clothes in the left and right side storage compartments and the towel in the main compartment, thus storing these items in a balanced manner. Furthermore, because it has a main storage compartment in addition to the left and right side storage compartments, the size of the left and right side storage compartments can be made slimmer than conventional left and right storage compartments (for example, the two storage bags described in Patent Document 1 above), and this type of side storage compartment gives it a smart appearance when attached to a school bag. In addition, because it has a main storage compartment located above the main storage space of the school bag, the space above the main storage space (the space above textbooks, notebooks, etc. placed in the main storage space) can be effectively utilized.

[0011] The main storage compartment has an item insertion opening for inserting items and a top surface with a width approximately equal to the width of the main storage space of the school bag, and a receiving section provided below this top surface to receive items inserted through the item insertion opening. It can be a storage device that can be attached to a school bag.

[0012] This storage device allows for a large storage compartment because the width of the top surface of the main storage area is roughly equal to the width of the main storage space in a school bag.

[0013] In this case, it is preferable that the item input opening be a slit-shaped opening along the left-right direction of the top surface, and that the storage device be attached to the school bag.

[0014] This storage device makes it easier to enlarge the opening for inserting items, and by having a large opening, it becomes easier to insert items into the main storage compartment.

[0015] Furthermore, it is preferable that the opening for inserting items is a storage device that attaches to the school bag and does not have a slide fastener.

[0016] Because this storage container does not have a slide fastener, it is easier to put items into the main compartment. Children, in particular, sometimes felt pain when slide fasteners rubbed against their hands, but this storage container does not have that problem.

[0017] The left and right side storage compartments are equipped with pockets that open upwards, and the openings of these pockets are expandable and contractible thanks to a rubber-like material provided on the edge of the opening, making them suitable for use as storage devices attached to a school bag.

[0018] This storage device makes it easy to put items into the pocket part and makes it difficult for the items placed inside to fall out.

[0019] At this time, it is preferable that the left and right side storage parts are storage devices that are attached to and used with a backpack and have a lid part that covers the opening of the pocket part.

[0020] This storage device makes it even more difficult for the items placed inside to fall out.

[0021] It is also possible to use a storage device that is attached to and used with a backpack and has a lower connecting belt that connects the lower ends of the left and right side storage parts to each other.

[0022] This storage device can be firmly attached to the backpack.

[0023] It is also possible to use a storage device that is attached to and used with a backpack and has a central connecting belt that connects the front parts or the rear parts of the left and right side storage parts to each other.

[0024] This storage device can be firmly attached to the backpack.

Effect of the Invention

[0025] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a storage device that is attached to and used with a backpack, which can store many items in a balanced manner and is convenient to use.

[0027] The following diagram illustrates an example of a storage device used to attach to a school bag. The storage device 1 used to attach to a school bag has a main storage section 2 and a side storage section 3. In addition to these, this embodiment also includes a lower connecting belt 4 and a central connecting belt 5. In Figure 1, the lid member R3 of the school bag R is shown wide open and hanging down towards the wearer (child) to make the main storage compartment 2 and other parts easier to see. The following description illustrates specific embodiments, but the present invention and its components are not limited to the description below.

[0028] 1. Main unit storage compartment The main storage compartment 2 is a storage compartment located above the main storage space R1 of the school bag R when the storage device 1 is attached to the school bag R. The storage device 1 can be configured such that part or all of the main storage compartment 2 is located above the main storage space R1 of the school bag R. In this embodiment, as illustrated in Figure 1 and other figures, the storage device 1 is configured such that almost the entire main storage section 2 is located above the main storage space R1.

[0029] In this embodiment, the main body storage section 2 has an upper surface section 21 and a receiving section 22, as illustrated in Figures 1 and 2.

[0030] [Top part] In this embodiment, the top surface 21 is a rectangular shape that is generally horizontally elongated (the left-right direction is longer than the front-back direction) in a plan view. More specifically, the top surface 21 has a left-right width that is generally equal to the left-right width of the main storage space R1 of the school bag R, and a front-to-back length 21L that is slightly shorter than the front-to-back length of the main storage space R1. In this way, because the front-to-back length 21L of the top surface 21 is slightly shorter than the front-to-back length of the main storage space R1, it becomes easier to take out textbooks, notebooks, etc. stored in the main storage space R1 when the main storage compartment 2 is positioned above the main storage space R1. The front-to-back length 21L of the top surface 21 is preferably 50 to 100% of the front-to-back length of the main storage space R1, more preferably 70 to 98%, and even more preferably 80 to 95%. Here, the front-to-back length of the main storage space R1 of the school bag varies depending on the school bag manufacturer and model number, but is usually around 11cm to 13cm. For this reason, the front-to-back length 21L of the top surface 21 can preferably be 6.5 to 13cm, more preferably 7.7 to 12.7cm, even more preferably 8.8 to 12.4cm, and most preferably 10 to 11cm.

[0031] In this embodiment, the top surface 21 is provided with an item input opening 211 for inserting items to be stored. In this embodiment, the item input opening 211 is slit-shaped, running along the left-right direction of the top surface 21, and has a length approximately equal to (slightly shorter than) the left-right width of the top surface 21. Furthermore, the slit-shaped item input opening 211 is located approximately in the center of the top surface 21 in the front-rear direction. Moreover, in this embodiment, the slit-shaped item input opening 211 is not provided with a slide fastener.

[0032] [Receiving part] The receiving portion 22 is located below the upper surface portion 21 and is a member that receives articles inserted through the article input opening 211. In this embodiment, the receiving portion 22 is generally horizontally elongated and opens upward. Its opening edge is generally equal to the planar shape of the upper surface portion 21. The opening edge of the receiving portion 22 is sewn to the peripheral edge of the upper surface portion 21, and the receiving portion 22 is configured to receive articles inserted through the article input opening 211 of the upper surface portion 21.

[0033] In this embodiment, the receiving portion 22 is made of cloth, and the depth of the main storage portion 2 is configured to change according to the height of the items stored in the main storage space R1 of the school bag R. The depth of the main storage portion 2 (depth of the deepest part) is preferably 5 to 30 cm, more preferably 8 to 25 cm, even more preferably 10 to 20 cm, and most preferably 12 to 18 cm. In this embodiment, the depth of the main storage portion 2 (depth of the deepest part) is approximately 15 cm.

[0034] The main body storage section 2 of this embodiment, which is composed of the upper surface section 21 and the receiving section 22, is a so-called throw-in type storage section in which items can be inserted into the interior through a slit-shaped item input opening 211 formed in the upper surface section 21. Furthermore, when the storage device is attached to the school bag, the main storage unit is located above the main storage space of the school bag, appearing to float above the main storage space. This allows for effective use of the space above textbooks, notebooks, and other items placed in the main storage space. In this embodiment, when the storage device is attached to the school bag, the main storage unit appears to be recessed into the upper part of the main storage space of the school bag.

[0035] 2. Side storage compartment The side storage compartments 3 are left and right storage compartments that extend from the left and right sides of the main storage compartment 2 and are positioned outside the left and right side walls of the school bag R when the storage device 1 is attached to the school bag R. When the storage device 1 is attached to the school bag R, the side storage compartments 3 appear to hang downwards from the left and right sides of the main storage compartment 2.

[0036] In this embodiment, the left and right side storage compartments 3 are equipped with pockets 31 that open upward. The openings of the pockets 31 are expandable and contractible by a rubber-like member provided on the opening edge 311. In this embodiment, as illustrated in Figure 7, a rubber-like member is provided on a part of the opening edge 311 (the edge facing outwards).

[0037] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the left and right side storage compartments 3 are equipped with lids 32 that cover the openings of the pocket compartments 31. The pocket compartments 31 and lids 32 do not have slide fasteners to secure them together. With this configuration, there is no need to worry about feeling pain from slide fasteners when storing items in the side storage compartments. In addition, in this embodiment, the left and right side storage compartments are configured so that the lower part (width) is greater than the upper part, resulting in a slim and smart appearance when attached to a school bag, while still offering high storage capacity (allowing for the storage of many items inside).

[0038] 3. Lower connecting belt The storage device 1 of this embodiment includes a lower connecting belt 4 that connects the lower ends of the left and right side storage compartments 3 to each other. In this embodiment, as illustrated in Figure 5, an elastic belt is used as the lower connecting belt 4 to connect the centers of the lower ends of the left and right side storage compartments 3 to each other. Using an elastic belt makes it easier to attach and detach the storage device from the school bag.

[0039] 4. Central connecting belt Furthermore, the storage device 1 of this embodiment also includes a central connecting belt 5 that connects the front or rear portions of the left and right side storage compartments 3 to each other. In this embodiment, as illustrated in Figures 1 and 2, an elastic belt is used as the central connecting belt 5 to connect the upper front portions of the left and right side storage compartments 3 to each other. Using an elastic belt makes it easier to attach and detach the storage device from the school bag.

[0040] Although the present invention has been described above with reference to specific embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various changes and modifications can be made by experts in the relevant art without departing from the claims attached to this application.
