Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a storage bag system for automobiles.

Background Art

[0002] Inside an automobile, there is a storage section for temporarily storing small items carried by passengers. When it is cumbersome for passengers to take in and out these items from the storage section every time they get on and off the vehicle, it is conceivable to bring a bag containing the items into the vehicle and hold it in a holding section such as a bracket provided on the interior material of the automobile. In that case, when a plurality of passengers try to hold their respective bags in the passenger compartment, in order to scatter a plurality of bags with different shapes in the passenger compartment, a plurality of holding sections such as various types of brackets with different mounting forms are required. Also, the shape of the interior material of the automobile may not be compatible with each bag, and a space for neatly holding each bag may not be secured, and there may be a bag that cannot be held. In addition, since various bags are held in the passenger compartment in various forms, there is a problem that the passenger compartment looks messy.

[0003] Patent Document 1 discloses a vehicle portable bag having an engaging portion that can be engaged with a locking portion provided in the passenger compartment of an automobile. When a passenger is in the automobile, the bag is held in the passenger compartment by engaging the engaging portion of the bag containing the items with the locking portion. And when the passenger gets off the automobile, the engagement between the engaging portion and the locking portion is released, and the bag is removed from the passenger compartment and carried away. Thereby, the cumbersome process of taking in and out items when the passenger gets on and off is avoided. Furthermore, when a plurality of such vehicle portable bags are provided, a plurality of bags can be neatly held in the passenger compartment.

[0004] Patent Documents 2 to 6 disclose configurations that can handle a plurality of bags collectively and configurations in which a plurality of storage portions are provided inside the bag.

[0005] [Patent Document 1] Publication number 01-021073 [Patent Document 2] Utility Model Registration No. 3226368 Gazette [Patent Document 3] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2002-142830 [Patent Document 4] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 11-32828 [Patent Document 5] Patent No. 4857104 [Patent Document 6] Patent No. 6006832 [Overview of the project] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]

[0006] When multiple vehicle-mounted portable bags, as described in Patent Document 1, are provided, carrying these bags outside the vehicle is inconvenient due to their bulkiness and difficulty in handling. Furthermore, even if some of the bags do not contain items, the empty bags are still kept inside the vehicle, and despite not being used, they detract from the aesthetics.

[0007] The bags described in Patent Documents 2 to 6 are not intended for use as storage means in the interior of an automobile, and therefore cannot solve the problems of Patent Document 1 mentioned above.

[0008] Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide an automotive storage bag system that can store a large number of items using multiple bags, allows for easy carrying of multiple bags, and minimizes the deterioration of aesthetics even when unused bags are kept inside the vehicle. [Means for solving the problem]

[0009] The automotive storage bag system of the present invention includes three or more bags of different sizes, each of which is capable of storing smaller bags inside, the largest of which is capable of storing all other bags inside, and each of which is provided with a mounting member for direct or indirect attachment to the interior material of an automobile, or an engaging portion for engaging with the mounting member. Furthermore, all of the aforementioned bags have the same mounting member or engagement portion, and the bags can be attached to the interior material of the automobile by the mounting member or engagement portion provided on the bags, and the bags other than the largest can be attached inside larger bags by the mounting member or engagement portion of the bags. It is characterized by the following: The mounting member is a belt that is attached directly or indirectly to the interior material of an automobile, and the engaging portion may be a portion through which the belt is inserted. The interior material of the automobile, or a panel attached to the interior material, may be provided with a hole through which the belt is inserted. The engagement portion may be at a constant distance from the upper end of the bag when the bag on which the engagement portion is provided is held directly or indirectly by the interior material. The bags are openable and closable, and the opening and closing direction of all the bags may be the same. The bag may be provided with a retaining section inside for holding items. [Effects of the Invention]

[0010] According to the present invention, it is possible to store a large number of items using multiple bags, multiple bags can be easily carried, and even if unused bags are kept inside the vehicle, it is possible to prevent them from detracting from the aesthetics.

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0012] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Figure 1 is a perspective view showing multiple bags of an automotive storage bag system according to a first embodiment of the present invention. In the example shown in Figure 1, there are five types of bags 1a to 1e of different sizes, with two of the smallest bag 1e. Each bag can store a smaller bag inside it. That is, bag 1a can store bag 1b, bag 1b can store bag 1c, bag 1c can store bag 1d, and bag 1d can store two bags 1e. By storing each bag in this order, the largest bag 1a can store all the other bags 1b to 1e inside it. Figure 2 schematically shows the state in which bags 1b to 1e are stored inside bag 1a.

[0013] The multiple bags 1a to 1e of this embodiment differ in size but have substantially similar configurations. Figures 3 to 4 and 11 to 15 show only a single bag, but this represents the multiple bags and is denoted by reference numeral 1. In this specification, reference numeral 1 is used when it is not necessary to specify which of the multiple bags 1a to 1e is being referred to. Each of the bags 1a to 1e is considered to have substantially the same configuration as bag 1 shown in Figures 3 to 4 and 11 to 15. Figure 3(a) shows a perspective view of the front side of bag 1 in a closed state, Figure 3(b) shows a perspective view of the back side thereof, and Figure 3(c) shows an internal perspective view of bag 1 in an open state. Bag 1 has a rectangular shape and is provided with a zipper 2 on its outer periphery that extends across at least three sides, preferably all four sides. When the zipper 2 is closed, bag 1 is closed, and when the zipper 2 is fully opened, bag 1 can be opened so that its two main surfaces form an angle of 180 degrees or more. The outer surface of bag 1 is provided with engaging parts that engage with attachment members (such as belts) for direct or indirect attachment to the interior materials of an automobile, as described later. In the example shown in Figure 3, the engaging part is provided with an insertion part through which a belt is inserted. This insertion part is, for example, a strip-shaped member called webbing 3. The webbing 3 is fixed to the outer surface of bag 1 at least in two places, and the intermediate part between the fixed parts is not fixed to the outer surface of bag 1, creating a gap between it and the outer surface of bag 1. A belt can be inserted through this gap. Inside bag 1, there are holding parts for holding articles, such as internal webbing 4 and internal pockets (not shown). Various articles can be held inside bag 1 by inserting them into the internal webbing 4 or into the internal pockets.

[0014] In the automotive storage bag system of this embodiment, the bag 1 can be directly or indirectly attached to and held by the interior materials of the automobile (such as door trim pockets, rear quarter windows, deck side trims, back door trims, and seat backs). Figure 4 is a cross-sectional view showing the structure of the automotive storage bag system of this embodiment for indirectly attaching and holding the bag 1 to the interior material 6 via a panel 8. Figure 5 is a front view of a belt, which is an attachment member for directly or indirectly attaching the bag 1 to the interior material 6 of the automobile in this embodiment. Specifically, in this embodiment, as shown in Figures 4 and 5, a belt 5 with hook-shaped locking portions 5a at both ends is used as the attachment member. As shown in Figure 4, in this embodiment, the bag 1 is indirectly attached and held to the interior material 6 by attaching the panel 8 to the interior material 6 and using the belt 5 to attach the bag 1 to the panel 8. A mechanism that provides a holding member such as a panel 8 for indirectly attaching a member such as a bag 1 to the interior material 6 of an automobile in this way is generally called a MOLLE system, and the panel 8 is called a MOLLE panel. In this embodiment, the bag 1 is held inside the automobile using a MOLLE system. As shown in Figure 6, the panel 8 is provided with numerous holes 8a. This panel 8 is fixed to the interior material 6 by fixing members (e.g., screws, etc.) not shown. The belt 5 can be fixed to the panel 8 by hooking one locking portion 5a onto the inner periphery of one of the numerous holes 8a of the panel 8, and the other locking portion 5a onto the inner periphery of another hole 8a. With the webbing 3 of the bag 1 inserted through the belt 5, the locking portions 5a located on both sides of the portion of the belt 5 inserted into the webbing 3 are hooked onto the inner periphery of the holes 8a, respectively, to fix the belt 5 to the panel 8. As a result, the bag 1 is indirectly held to the interior material 6 via the panel 8. However, it is also possible to form holes in the interior material 6 that can be used to hook the locking portions 5a of the belt 5, and to directly attach the bag 1 to the interior material 6 without the need for a holding member such as the panel 8.As shown in Figure 4, the bag 1 can be closed by closing the zipper 2 and held directly or indirectly by the interior material 6, or, although not shown, the bag 1 can be opened by opening the zipper 2 and held directly or indirectly by the interior material 6. Bags 1a to 1e all have this configuration, but the number of internal webbing 4 and internal pockets may differ depending on the size of each bag 1a to 1e.

[0015] Figure 7 is a perspective view of a bracket 9, which is another example of a locking part provided at both ends of the belt 5, which is an attachment member for the bag 1. This bracket 9 is provided with a belt pass-through hole 9a, and the belt 5 is held at the end of the belt 5 by being inserted through the belt pass-through hole 9a. The bracket 9 has a rectangular cross-section perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the belt 5, and the lengths of its long and short sides are set to match the size of the hole 8a in the panel 8 (or the hole in the interior material 6 (not shown)). Therefore, when the bracket 9 at the end of the belt 5 is passed through the hole 8a in the panel 8 (or the hole in the interior material 6), the belt 5 is twisted and the bracket 9 is rotated 90 degrees, causing a part of the bracket 9 to catch on the inner edge of the hole and become impossible to detach. In this way, the belt 5 is attached to the panel 8 (or interior material 6) by hooking the brackets 9 at both ends of the belt 5 into the holes 8a in the panel 8 (or the hole in the interior material 6). In this configuration, as with the previously described configuration, the bag 1 can be attached directly or indirectly to the interior material 6 by inserting the belt 5 through the webbing 3 of the bag 1 and attaching the brackets 9 at both ends of the belt 5 to the panel 8 (or interior material 6).

[0016] As mentioned above, the largest bag 1a can accommodate all the other bags 1b to 1e inside. Therefore, if there are no items to store in each of the bags 1a to 1e, or if the items to be stored are small and few in number, all of the bags 1b to 1e can be stored in the largest bag 1a, and bag 1a can be attached directly or indirectly to the interior material 6, as schematically shown in Figure 8. This minimizes the impact of bags 1a to 1e on the aesthetics of the vehicle interior. Furthermore, since bags 1a to 1e are not bulky when held directly or indirectly to the interior material 6 in this way, they can be easily handled as a group and easily carried out of the vehicle interior. Note that it is not limited to storing all the other bags 1b to 1e in the largest bag 1a; it is also possible to store only some of the multiple bags 1a to 1e together. Depending on the state of items stored in each of the bags 1a to 1e, some bags 1 can be stored in other bags 1 and directly or indirectly held in place by the interior material 6, thereby minimizing the space occupied by bags 1a to 1e in the vehicle interior.

[0017] In the example shown in Figure 8, all bags 1a to 1e are held together directly or indirectly in the interior material 6 while closed. However, as schematically shown in Figure 9, it is also possible to stack all bags 1a to 1e in an open state and hold them together directly or indirectly in the interior material 6. In order to stack and hold multiple bags 1a to 1e together while open, it is preferable that each bag 1a to 1e is openable and closable, and that all bags 1a to 1e have the same opening and closing direction. In other words, it is preferable to arrange the bags 1a to 1e so that their opening and closing directions are the same. Specifically, in the example shown in Figure 9, all bags 1a to 1e open to the left and right when the zippers are open. That is, all bags 1a to 1e have the same opening and closing direction. Furthermore, in order to stack and hold multiple bags 1a to 1e together while open, it is preferable that the outer surface and inner surface of bag 1 have an engagement mechanism, although not shown in the figure. For example, the webbing 3 on the outer surface of bag 1 and the internal webbing 4 on the inner surface can be configured to be joined to each other by a hook-and-loop fastener mechanism or the like.

[0018] Each of the bags 1a to 1e in this embodiment has an engaging portion such as webbing 3 on its outer surface, and can be individually held directly or indirectly to the interior material 6 using an attachment member such as a belt 5. Therefore, as schematically shown in Figure 10, all the bags 1a to 1e can be lined up horizontally and held directly or indirectly to the interior material 6. In this case, it is preferable that the distance L from the upper end of each bag 1a to 1e to the engaging portion (webbing 3) is constant when each bag 1a to 1e is held directly or indirectly to the interior material 6, because this allows the bags to be held neatly with the upper ends of each bag 1a to 1e at the same height.

[0019] When displaying a logo such as the product name on the outer surface of bag 1, all the letters of the logo may be displayed on the outer surface of one bag 1a as shown in Figure 8, or, as shown in Figure 10, some of the letters of the logo may be displayed on the outer surface of each of bags 1a to 1e so that the entire logo is displayed when all bags 1a to 1e are lined up and held in a row. In particular, it is possible to have a configuration in which the letters of the logo are made of adhesive and removable stickers, allowing for free selection of the display format shown in Figure 8, the display format shown in Figure 10, and any other arbitrary display format. However, it is also possible to have a configuration in which the letters of the logo are sewn onto the outer surface of bag 1.

[0020] As described above, according to the automotive storage bag system of this embodiment, as schematically shown in Figure 8, smaller bags 1 can be housed inside a larger bag 1, and each bag 1 can be held together directly or indirectly to the interior material 6 when closed. Also, as schematically shown in Figure 9, multiple bags 1 can be stacked in an open state and held together directly or indirectly to the interior material 6. As schematically shown in Figure 10, each bag 1 can also be held separately directly or indirectly to the interior material 6 when closed. Although not shown, each bag 1 can also be held separately directly or indirectly to the interior material 6 when open. Furthermore, although not shown, it is also possible to select some of the multiple bags 1 and hold only the selected bags 1 together directly or indirectly to the interior material 6 when closed or open. According to this embodiment, it is possible to hold multiple bags 1 directly or indirectly to the interior material 6 in the various holding configurations described above, and the holding configuration can be arbitrarily selected. This is made possible because each bag 1 can store a smaller bag 1 inside it, the largest bag 1a can store all the other bags 1b to 1e inside it, and each bag 1a to 1e is provided with an engaging part (e.g., webbing 3) that engages with an attachment member (e.g., belt 5) for attaching it to the interior material 6.

[0021] As shown in Figures 8 and 10, holding the bag 1 directly or indirectly to the interior material 6 in a closed state does not significantly detract from the aesthetics of the vehicle interior. In particular, it is preferable to make the outer surface of the bag 1 and the belt 5 the same color as the interior material 6 of the vehicle interior (for example, black), as this makes the bag less conspicuous in the vehicle interior. On the other hand, as shown in Figure 9, holding the bag 1 directly or indirectly to the interior material 6 in an open state makes it easier for the occupant to take out the items stored in the bag 1. It is preferable to make the inner surface of the bag 1 a light color (for example, white) so that the items stored inside are easily visible.

[0022] Figure 11 is a cross-sectional view showing a structure for indirectly holding the bag 1 to the interior material 6 in a second embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the belt 5 is not provided with a locking portion 5a as shown in Figures 4 and 5, but hooks 5b or buttons (not shown) are provided at both ends of the belt 5. In this configuration, with the belt 5 inserted through the webbing 3 of the bag 1, the portions of the belt 5 located on both sides of the portion inserted into the webbing 3 are passed through holes 8a in the panel 8 and routed to the back side of the panel 8 (opposite the side facing the bag 1), and the ends of the belt 5 are overlapped and connected with hooks 5b or buttons. In this way, the bag 1 can be indirectly held to the interior material 6 using the belt 5, similar to the first embodiment. In this embodiment, it is also possible to configure the bag 1 and belt 5 to be directly attached to the interior material 6 without using the panel 8. Furthermore, it is possible to directly or indirectly hold the bag 1 to the interior material 6 with the zipper 2 closed, or to directly or indirectly hold the bag 1 to the interior material 6 with the zipper 2 open. Aside from this point, the description is the same as in the first embodiment and will be omitted.

[0023] Figure 12 is a cross-sectional view showing a structure for indirectly holding the bag 1 to the interior material 6 in a third embodiment of the automotive storage bag system of the present invention. In this embodiment, at least the opposing portions of both ends of the belt 5 are hook-and-loop fasteners. In this configuration, as in the second embodiment, with the belt 5 inserted through the webbing 3 of the bag 1, the portions of the belt 5 located on both sides of the portion inserted into the webbing 3 are passed through the holes 8a of the panel 8 and routed to the back side of the panel 8 (opposite the side facing the bag 1), and both ends of the belt 5 are overlapped and connected by the hook-and-loop fasteners. In this way, as in the first and second embodiments, the bag 1 can be indirectly held to the interior material 6 using the belt 5. In this embodiment, it is also possible to configure the bag 1 and belt 5 to be directly attached to the interior material 6 without using the panel 8. It is also possible to directly or indirectly hold the bag 1 to the interior material 6 with the zipper 2 closed, or to directly or indirectly hold the bag 1 to the interior material 6 with the zipper 2 open. Other than this point, it is the same as the first and second embodiments, so the explanation is omitted.

[0024] Figure 13 is a cross-sectional view showing a structure for indirectly holding the bag 1 to the interior material 6 in a fourth embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, a hook-and-loop fastener 7 is provided on the outer surface of the back side (the side facing the panel 8) of the bag 1, instead of webbing 3. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the belt 5 has hook-and-loop fasteners not only at both ends, but also at the portion facing the hook-and-loop fastener 7 of the bag 1. In this configuration, with a portion of the belt 5 joined to the hook-and-loop fastener 7 of the bag 1, the portions of the belt 5 located on both sides of the joint with the hook-and-loop fastener 7 are passed through the holes 8a of the panel 8 and routed to the back side of the panel 8 (the side opposite to the side facing the bag 1), and the ends of the belt 5 are overlapped and connected by the hook-and-loop fastener. In this way, the bag 1 can be indirectly held to the interior material 6 using the belt 5, similar to the first to third embodiments. Note that in this embodiment, it is also possible to directly attach the bag 1 and belt 5 to the interior material 6 without using the panel 8. It is possible to hold the bag 1 directly or indirectly to the interior material 6 with the zipper 2 closed, or to hold the bag 1 directly or indirectly to the interior material 6 with the zipper 2 open. Other than this point, the description is the same as in the first to third embodiments and will be omitted.

[0025] Figure 14 is a cross-sectional view showing a structure for directly holding the bag 1 to the interior material 6 in a fifth embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the belt 5, which is an attachment member for attaching the bag 1 to the interior material 6 of the automobile, is directly provided on the interior material 6. That is, the interior material 6 in this embodiment does not have a panel 8 as shown in Figure 6, and two belts 5 are directly attached to the interior material 6 or integrally formed with it. The ends of both belts 5 (the ends opposite to the interior material 6 side) are hook-and-loop fasteners. In this configuration, with the webbing 3 of the bag 1 inserted through one belt 5, the ends of that belt 5 and the ends of the other belt are overlapped and connected with the hook-and-loop fastener. In this way, as in the first to fourth embodiments, the bag 1 can be held directly to the interior material 6 using the belts 5 or indirectly using a panel to which the belts are attached. It is also possible to hold the bag 1 directly or indirectly to the interior material 6 with the zipper 2 closed and the bag 1 closed, or to hold the bag 1 directly or indirectly to the interior material 6 with the zipper 2 open and the bag 1 open. Aside from this point, the explanation is omitted as it is the same as the first to fourth embodiments.

[0026] Figure 15 is a cross-sectional view showing a structure for indirectly holding the bag 1 to the interior material 6 in a sixth embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the belt 5 is directly provided on the outer surface of the back side (the side facing the panel 8) of the bag 1. That is, the bag 1 in this embodiment is not provided with any engaging parts such as webbing 3, and the middle portion of the belt 5 is attached to the bag 1 or integrally formed with it. In this configuration, the belt 5, which is directly provided on the bag 1, is passed through the hole 8a of the panel 8 and routed to the back side of the panel 8 (the side opposite to the side facing the bag 1), with both ends of the belt 5 overlapping each other and connected by hook and loop fasteners, similar to the third embodiment. In this way, the bag 1 can be indirectly held to the interior material 6 using the belt 5, similar to the first to fifth embodiments. Note that in this embodiment, it is also possible to configure the bag 1 and belt 5 to be directly attached to the interior material 6 without using the panel 8. It is also possible to directly or indirectly hold the bag 1 to the interior material 6 with the zipper 2 closed, or with the zipper 2 open and the bag 1 open. Aside from this point, the descriptions are the same as those for the first to fifth embodiments, so we will omit further explanation.

[0027] According to the automotive storage bag system of the present invention, a bag 1 containing various items can be easily held directly or indirectly on the interior material 6 of an automobile, and can also be easily removed and carried. Therefore, the hassle of storing and carrying items when occupants get in and out of the vehicle is eliminated. In particular, since multiple bags 1 are used, many items can be stored, and as mentioned above, storing and carrying each of these many items is not cumbersome. Furthermore, when items are stored in only some of the multiple bags 1, and the remaining bags 1 are not stored (not used), the multiple bags 1 (especially the multiple bags 1 that do not contain items) can be handled together, which is very convenient. In addition, the space occupied by the bags 1 held directly or indirectly on the interior material 6 in the vehicle interior can be reduced, minimizing any deterioration in aesthetics.

[0028] According to the present invention, it is possible to arbitrarily choose to hold multiple bags 1 together directly or indirectly to the interior material 6 of the automobile, to hold each of the multiple bags 1 separately directly or indirectly to the interior material 6, or to hold some of the multiple bags 1 together directly or indirectly to the interior material 6 and the remaining bags 1 separately directly or indirectly to the interior material 6. Furthermore, it is possible to arbitrarily choose to hold the bags 1 in a closed state directly or indirectly to the interior material 6, or to hold the bags 1 in an open state directly or indirectly to the interior material 6. In addition, since there are multiple bags 1 of different sizes, it is possible to select and store a bag of the appropriate size according to the items to be stored. In this way, the occupant can arbitrarily and easily choose from various storage configurations, and because of the high degree of freedom, it is easy to ensure sufficient storage capacity according to the situation while minimizing any damage to the aesthetics.

[0029] The present invention can be configured by arbitrarily combining the embodiments described above, and other modifications are also possible. For example, the mounting member for directly or indirectly attaching the bag 1 to the interior material 6 is not limited to the belt 5, but may be other configurations. Furthermore, the engaging portion that engages with the mounting member is not limited to the webbing 3 or hook-and-loop fastener, but various configurations can be adopted depending on the form of the mounting member. The bag 1 may be provided with multiple engaging portions, and by selecting one of the multiple engaging portions to engage with the mounting member, the mounting position and orientation of the bag 1 can be arbitrarily changed. As shown in Figure 3(b), if a part of the webbing 3 is sewn to the outer surface of the bag 1 (for example, the outer skin portion made of cloth), and the webbing 3 is divided into multiple sections in the longitudinal direction by one or more seams, the mounting position of the bag 1 can be finely adjusted by changing the position (section) through which the mounting member (belt 5) passes. This configuration is preferable because it increases the degree of freedom in the mounting position of the bag 1, even when the number of holes 8a in the panel 8 to which the bag 1 is attached (or holes in the interior material 6 (not shown)) is small. If the webbing 3 has multiple seams at regular intervals, the mounting position of the bag 1 can also be adjusted at regular intervals. Furthermore, having seams on the webbing 3 in this way has the effect of preventing the bag 1 from sliding and shifting position laterally (in the longitudinal direction of the webbing 3) while it is attached to the panel 8 or interior material 6. In addition, if multiple engaging parts such as the webbing 3 are arranged in a row in the vertical direction (in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the webbing 3), the mounting position of the bag 1 can be finely adjusted in the vertical direction. Alternatively, the interior material 6 or panel 8 may be provided with a number of holes, and by selecting one of the multiple holes to attach the mounting member, the mounting position and orientation of the bag 1 can be arbitrarily changed.
