[Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0009] Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. Note that the configurations and combinations thereof in the embodiments are examples only, and additions, omissions, substitutions, and other modifications are possible as appropriate without departing from the spirit of the present invention. The present invention is not limited by the embodiments, but is limited only by the claims.

[0010] <Examples> Referring to Figures 1(a) to 5(b), a storage device 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0011] (Overall structure) Figures 1(a) to 1(c) are explanatory diagrams illustrating the configuration of the storage device 1 according to this embodiment when it is not in use (not stored). Figure 1(a) is a schematic plan view of the storage device 1, Figure 1(b) is a cross-sectional view taken along arrow A in Figure 1(a), and Figure 1(c) is a cross-sectional view taken along arrow B in Figure 1(b).

[0012] The storage tool 1 according to this embodiment is a bag-shaped storage tool made of a fabric having elasticity and flexibility. Here, as the storage tool 1 according to this embodiment, one made of a knitted fabric having a predetermined pleat structure will be described, but it may be configured using other fabrics or materials having similar characteristics. Further, the storage target article P (see FIG. 2(a) etc.) stored in the storage tool 1 according to this embodiment is not limited to a specific article, but for example, a portable information terminal device typified by a smartphone, particularly a portable device having a flat plate shape is suitable.

[0013] As shown in FIGS. 1(a) to 1(c), the storage tool 1 has a substantially belt-like (long and narrow flat plate-like) form as a form when not in use (not storing). The storage tool 1 includes a storage portion 2 and a handle portion 3. The storage portion 2 and the handle portion 3 are arranged side by side in the longitudinal direction of the storage tool 1.

[0014] In the following description, there may be cases where the longitudinal direction (longitudinal direction) of the storage tool 1 is described as the L direction (first direction), the short side direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction is described as the W direction (second direction), and the thickness direction of the storage tool 1 orthogonal to both the longitudinal direction and the short side direction is described as the H direction (third direction).

[0015] The overall configuration of the storage tool 1 is in a form in which two flat belts 10a and 10b, which are belt-like fabrics long in the L direction, are overlapped in the H direction. Each of the belts 10a and 10b is integrally connected to each other at their outer peripheral edges, that is, the edges corresponding to the four sides of the rectangular shape, and has cut portions 4 (4a, 4b) in the flat region inside the outer peripheral edge. The cut portions 4 (4a, 4b) penetrate the belts 10a and 10b in the H direction and extend in the L direction. The cut portion 4a provided on one belt 10a and the cut portion 4b provided on the other belt 10b are provided at positions overlapping each other in the H direction. The storage tool 1 has a bag-like structure in which the space between the opposing surfaces of the two belts 10a and 10b is an internal space, and the internal space communicates with the outside through the cut portions 4 (4a, 4b).

[0016] One side of the cutting portion 4 in the L direction of the storage tool 1 serves as the storage portion 2, and the other side of the L direction including the cutting portion 4 serves as the handle portion 3.

[0017] The storage portion 2 has a storage space 20 that communicates with the outside through the cutting portion 4. The storage space 20 is a space in the region on one side of the cutting portion 4 in the L direction among the spaces between the opposing surfaces of the belt bodies 10a and 10b. The storage tool 1 is configured to be able to take in and out the storage target article P with respect to the storage portion 2 (storage space 20) through the cutting portion 4. In the non-use state, the storage tool 1 is in a flat form in which the two belt bodies 10a and 10b overlap, but by deforming the cutting portion 4 so as to open between the two belt bodies 10a and 10b, an opening leading to the storage space 20 is formed, and at the same time, the internal space including the storage space 20 can be expanded. can be achieved.

[0018] The handle portion 3 is a belt-shaped handle portion composed of a first belt-shaped portion 31 (31a, 31b), a second belt-shaped portion 32 (32a, 32b), and a connecting portion 33 (33a, 33b), and is configured such that the end of the first belt-shaped portion 31 as one end and the end of the second belt-shaped portion 32 as the other end are each connected to the storage portion 2. The first belt-shaped portion 31a, the second belt-shaped portion 32a, and the connecting portion 33a in the belt body 10a overlap the first belt-shaped portion 31b, the second belt-shaped portion 32b, and the connecting portion 33b in the belt body 10b in the H direction, and are configured as the first belt-shaped portion 31, the second belt-shaped portion 32, and the connecting portion 33.

[0019] The first belt-shaped portion 31 is a portion located on one side in the W direction with respect to the cutting portion 4 in the handle portion 3 of the storage tool 1. The outer ends in the W direction of the first belt-shaped portion 31a of one belt body 10a and the first belt-shaped portion 31b of the other belt body 10b are integrated (connected). The inner ends in the W direction of the first belt-shaped portion 31a and the first belt-shaped portion 31b are not connected to each other, form the cutting portion 4 with the second belt-shaped portion 32, and the space between the first belt-shaped portion 31a and the first belt-shaped portion 31b is configured to be openable to the outside through the cutting portion 4.

[0020] The second strip portion 32 is located on the handle portion 3 of the storage container 1, on the side in the W direction relative to the notch portion 4. The second strip portion 32a of one strip body 10a and the second strip portion 32b of the other strip body 10b are integrated (connected) at their outer ends in the W direction. The inner ends of the second strip portion 32a and the second strip portion 32b in the W direction are not connected to each other, and form a notch portion 4 between them and the first strip portion 31, and the space between the second strip portion 32a and the second strip portion 32b is configured to be open to the outside via the notch portion 4.

[0021] The connecting portion 33 is the part of the handle portion 3 of the storage container 1 that is on the other side in the L direction from the notch portion 4, and is the part that connects the first strip portion 31 and the second strip portion 32. The connecting portion 33a of one strip 10a and the connecting portion 33b of the other strip 10b are integrated (connected) at their outer ends in the L direction. The storage portion 2 is continuously connected to one side in the L direction of each of the first strip portion 31 (31a, 31b) and the second strip portion 32 (32a, 32b).

[0022] (Storage state) Figures 2(a) to 2(c) are explanatory diagrams illustrating the configuration of the storage device 1 according to this embodiment during use (storage). Figure 2(a) is a schematic plan view of the storage device 1, showing the process of storing the item P into the storage section 2. Figure 2(b) is a schematic plan view of the storage device 1, showing the state in which the item P has been stored in the storage section 2. Figure 2(c) is a cross-sectional view taken along arrow C in Figure 2(b).

[0023] As described above, the opening for inserting and removing the items P to be stored into the storage space 20 is formed by opening the notch 4. The first strip 31, the second strip 32, and the connecting part 33 are each configured to open the gap between the two strips 10a and 10b on the side where the notch 4 is provided. In particular, the first strip 31 (31a, 31b) and the second strip 32 (32a, 32b) are connected to the opening for inserting and removing the items P to be stored into the storage space 20, and the opening can be expanded by deforming them so that the gap between the strips 10a and 10b opens. That is, the first strip 31a of one strip 10a and the first strip 31b of the other strip 10b can be deformed so that their respective inner surfaces (opposing surfaces) are separated from each other on the side where the notch 4 is provided. The same applies to the second strip 32a and the second strip 32b. This allows for easy insertion and removal of items P to be stored in the storage space 20.

[0024] The dimensions of the storage compartment 2 in the W and H directions when not in use are the same as the dimensions of the stored item P. It is preferable that the device be configured to be smaller than the law. In a storage device 1 made of stretchable fabric, when an item P to be stored is placed inside, tensile deformation occurs in the storage section 2 in at least the W and H directions, generating a holding force for the item P and enabling the formation of a stable storage state.

[0025] In this embodiment of the storage device 1, an example is shown in which the entire item P to be stored fits into the storage section 2. However, a storage configuration is also possible in which a part of the item P to be stored protrudes into the opposing spaces of the first strip-shaped section 31 (31a, 31b) and the second strip-shaped section 32 (32a, 32b). In other words, a portion of the first strip-shaped section 31 (31a, 31b) and the second strip-shaped section 32 (32a, 32b) adjacent to the storage section 2 may function as part of the storage section.

[0026] (Storage section) Referring to Figures 3(a) to 4(b), the features of the storage section 2 of the storage device 1 according to this embodiment will be described. Figure 3(a) is an enlarged view of section X1 in Figure 1(a). Figure 3(b) is an enlarged view of section X2 in Figure 2(b). Figure 4(a) is a cross-sectional view taken along the line D1 in Figure 3(a). Figure 4(b) is a cross-sectional view taken along the line D2 in Figure 3(b).

[0027] As shown in Figures 3(a) to 4(b), the storage device 1 according to this embodiment is made of a knitted fabric having a pleated structure in which the front fabric 211 and the back fabric 212 are connected via a folded portion. The front fabric 211 and the back fabric 212 each extend in the L direction and are formed to be alternately continuous in the W direction. The front fabric 211 is aligned in the W direction on the outside of the storage device 1, and the back fabric 212 is aligned in the W direction on the inside of the storage device 1. Multiple holes 22 are provided in the back fabric 212. Multiple holes 22 are arranged in the L direction at predetermined intervals.

[0028] As shown in Figures 3(a) and 4(a), when the storage container 1 is not in use (not stored), the back fabric 212 is obscured from view by multiple front fabrics 211 arranged in the W direction on the front side of the storage container 1. In addition, the holes 22 provided in the back fabric 212 are in a state of being flattened in the W direction. In the configuration examples shown in Figures 3(a) and 4(a), a configuration in which the back fabric 212 is only slightly visible through the gaps between multiple front fabrics 211 aligned in the W direction is illustrated. It is also possible to configure the front fabrics 211 so that the back fabric 212 is completely hidden.

[0029] As shown in Figures 3(b) and 4(b), when the storage device 1 is in use (when stored), the fabric of the storage section 2 is stretched in the W direction by the stored item P in the storage space 20. As a result, the spacing of the front fabric 211 in the W direction widens, and the amount of the back fabric 212 exposed to the outside increases. Also, as the back fabric 212 is stretched in the W direction, the holes 22 provided in the back fabric 212 are also stretched in the W direction, and the flattened holes 22 open up. As a result, a portion of the surface of the stored item P is exposed to the outside of the storage device 1 through the multiple holes 22.

[0030] If the stored item P is a portable device equipped with a display or indicator light, changes in their state can be visually observed from outside the storage container 1. This observation does not mean, for example, recognizing and confirming the content of information displayed on a smartphone's display, but rather recognizing that some change has occurred in the portable device or that its appearance has changed. A typical example of such a portable device is a smartphone, but it could also be an alarm device that notifies the user by flashing lights, for example. In other words, it is possible to know that some change in the state of the portable device has occurred by light leaking out from the hole 22 of the storage compartment 2, or by a change in the leaking light.

[0031] For example, if a portable device is stored in a way that completely hides it from the outside, it would be necessary to take the device out of the storage case each time to check if there have been any changes in the device. With the storage case 1 of this embodiment, it is possible to know if any change in the state of the portable device has occurred while the portable device is still stored in the storage compartment 2. Therefore, only when a change in the state of the portable device is detected, the portable device should be taken out of the storage compartment 2 to check the specific details of the change that has occurred. In other words, the configuration of the storage compartment 2 of the storage case 1 according to this embodiment provides the user with an opportunity to check the portable device, thus preventing the portable device from being taken out of the storage case more than necessary.

[0032] Furthermore, the light from the portable device leaking from the hole 22 can provide a decorative effect to the surface of the storage compartment 2 of the storage device 1. In particular, if the leaked light is diverse or involves changes in color, it is possible to provide a more aesthetically pleasing decorative effect.

[0033] Furthermore, the configuration that allows changes in the state of the portable device stored in the storage compartment 2 to be visible from the outside is not limited to the configuration with holes as described above. For example, the back fabric 212 may be made of a thin fabric, and as the fabric expands, the back fabric 212 may be made transparent, allowing the surface of the stored item P to be visible from the outside.

[0034] The storage device 1 according to this embodiment is made of a rib-knit fabric (also called a rib knit or rib knit) having a pleated three-dimensional structure, and is configured to have high elasticity in the W direction relative to the L direction. The width in the W direction of the storage device 1 (storage section 2) is configured to be narrower than the width of the item P to be stored, thereby stabilizing the posture of the item P within the storage section 2 and enabling stable holding. For example, if the item P to be stored is assumed to be a smartphone, the width 1W in the W direction of the storage device 1 (storage section 2) may be in the range of 50mm to 75mm when not stored (when no stretching occurs), which is narrower than the width of the smartphone, compared to its typical width of approximately 64mm to 78mm.

[0035] Furthermore, the width (length) 1L in the L direction of the storage device 1 according to this embodiment is an element that defines the length (depth) of the storage section 2 and the length of the handle section 3 (notch 4), and can be set within various ranges depending on the function that is important in the storage device 1. In particular, the width (length) 1S in the L direction of the notch 4 of the handle section 3 is an element that determines the size of the area through which the user's arm or hand passes when carrying the storage device 1, and the size of the area through which the stored item P passes when putting the stored item P in or taking it out of the storage section 2.

[0036] For example, from the viewpoint of enabling smooth insertion and removal of the largest possible item P to be stored, or from the viewpoint of making it easy to carry over the shoulder even for an adult male, it is preferable to make the width (length) 1S in the L direction of the notch 4 longer. In such a long type of storage device 1, assuming a maximum length of approximately 163 mm for the item P to be stored, for example, the overall width (length) 1L in the L direction may be in the range of 700 mm to 900 mm when not stored, and the width (length) 1S in the L direction of the notch 4 may be in the range of 465 mm to 665 mm when not stored.

[0037] On the other hand, from the viewpoint of making it easy to hold and carry regardless of hand size, it is preferable not to make the width (length) 1S of the notch 4 in the L direction unnecessarily long. In such a short-type storage device 1, for example, the overall width (length) 1L in the L direction may be in the range of 350mm to 500mm when not stored, and the width (length) 1S of the notch 4 in the L direction may be in the range of 163mm to 335mm when not stored, with a lower limit of the length of the assumed maximum size smartphone of approximately 163mm.

[0038] The position of the notch 4 in the L direction may be such that the item P to be stored in the storage section 2 does not protrude. If the item P to be stored is assumed to be a smartphone, the position of the notch 4 may be determined based on its typical vertical size of approximately 131 mm to 164 mm. For example, the position of the notch 4 may be determined so that the width (length) of the storage section 2 in the L direction is at least 165 mm. Also, the position of the notch 4 (width in the L direction) may be determined so that the width (length) of the connecting section 33 in the L direction is at least 40 mm, for example, from the viewpoint of ensuring the strength of the handle section 3.

[0039] Furthermore, the knit fabric constituting the storage device 1 according to this embodiment may include, for example, 100% polyester yarn as an essential yarn for providing elasticity, and 92% nylon / 8% polyurethane yarn as an additional yarn, and may be made of multiple types of yarn. The additional yarn other than the 100% polyester yarn may be selected from materials including chemical fibers and natural fibers. The knitting method of the knit fabric is not limited to a specific one, and any conventionally known knitting method may be used as long as it is capable of forming a desired gap in the valleys of the rib knit (back fabric 212) that can function as the holes 22 described above. When stored (in a stretched state), it is preferable that the size of the holes 22 be in the range of, for example, 2 mm to 4 mm, from the viewpoint of visibility.

[0040] Furthermore, the width (i.e., the width of the outer fabric 211) and thickness 1T of the ribs (ridges or furrows) in the rib knit may be set appropriately from the viewpoint of cushioning and shock absorption for protecting the stored items P.

[0041] For example, if the entire width of storage container 1 in the W direction is knitted in a rib pattern so that 14 rib peaks are formed, the width of one rib may be approximately 4.5 mm when not in use. Also, for example, if 10 rib peaks are formed, the width of one rib may be approximately 7 mm when not in use, and if 16 rib peaks are formed, the width of one rib may be approximately 4.375 mm when not in use.

[0042] Furthermore, it is preferable that the thickness 1T of the fabric when not stored be in the range of approximately 3mm to 5mm. For example, if the thickness 1T of the fabric is 3.5mm, the thickness of the storage container 1 (width in the H direction) may be 7mm. Note that in Figure 1(b), etc., a gap is shown between one band 10a and the other band 10b for the sake of understanding the storage space 20, but in the actual product, when not stored, the two may overlap without any gap.

[0043] Please note that the above dimensions are examples based on the assumption that the item P to be stored is a smartphone, and are not limited to the above values. Furthermore, if the item P to be stored is a different item from a smartphone in terms of size, weight, and shape, then naturally, different dimensions can be used.

[0044] In this embodiment, the storage device 1 has a configuration in which the pleated three-dimensional structure described above is formed throughout the entire storage device, but it is also possible to provide the pleated structure locally only in the storage section 2.

[0045] (How to wear it) Figures 5(a) and 5(b) are schematic perspective views showing examples of how the storage device 1 can be worn (carried). The storage device 1 according to this embodiment is made entirely of knitted fabric and has high elasticity and flexibility, allowing for a wide range of wearing configurations.

[0046] The object to which the storage device 1 is attached is typically the user's arm, hand, fingers, or shoulder, but other storage devices may also be used as the object to which the storage device is attached. For example, it may be used as an additional storage device (e.g., an external smartphone holder) on a bag or purse that already contains other items. It can be attached and used. Furthermore, the use of the storage device 1 is not limited to carrying purposes; for example, it can also be used as a storage device (part of the interior) when displaying the item P to be stored indoors. In this case, the object to which it can be attached O can be various mounting parts such as hooks and hangers installed indoors.

[0047] Figure 5(a) shows a mounting configuration in which the object to be attached O is inserted into the notch 4. A typical mounting configuration is when carrying an arm, hand, or fingers by passing them through the notch 4. If the handle 3 is long enough, it is also possible to wear the notch 4 over the shoulder or across the body like a sash.

[0048] In the example shown in Figure 5(a), the first strip portion 31 and the second strip portion 32 are positioned relative to each other in the H direction with respect to the object O to be attached, which is inserted into the notch portion 4. That is, the first strip portion 31a of one of the first strip portions 31a and 31b of the strip body 10a contacts the object O, and the second strip portion 32b of the other of the second strip portions 32a and 32b of the strip body 10b contacts the object O. Similarly, there are cases where the first strip portion 31b contacts the object O and the second strip portion 32a contacts the object O. In other words, when not in use, two adjacent strip portions on the same side are in a relationship where one contacts the object O and the other does not contact the object O.

[0049] Figure 5(b) shows a mounting configuration in which the object to be mounted O is not inserted into the notch 4. The object to be mounted O is not inserted into the notch 4, but rather is mounted in a manner that resembles being inserted into the loops formed by the first band-shaped portion 31 and the second band-shaped portion 32. By wrapping the band-shaped portions 31 and 32 around the outer circumference of the object to be mounted O and passing the storage portion 2 through the notch 4, mounting as shown in the figure becomes possible. This mounting configuration can be used when the end of the object to be mounted O is not open and the object to be mounted O cannot be inserted into the notch 4. This mounting configuration requires length to wrap the band-shaped portions 31 and 32 around the object to be mounted O, so it is preferable to design the handle portion 3 to have a longer dimension in the L direction.

[0050] (Advantages of this embodiment) According to this embodiment, a highly functional storage device can be provided despite its simple configuration, which involves making cuts in a vertically elongated, hollow structure.

[0051] The storage device 1 according to this embodiment offers excellent storage capabilities when not in use. When not in use, the entire device can take the form of a flat, strip-like shape, and does not require a large space to store the storage device 1. Furthermore, because the entire device is made of knitted fabric, it has high flexibility and elasticity, allowing for a high degree of freedom in choosing storage configurations, such as rolling it up (spiral-shaped) or folding it, and providing excellent handling when not in use.

[0052] Furthermore, it becomes possible to visually check and understand changes in the status of stored items, particularly portable devices with displays or lights such as smartphones, from the outside while they are stored in the storage compartment. In addition, the light leaking from the holes in the storage compartment can add a decorative effect to the storage device. Moreover, because the band-shaped handle has high elasticity and flexibility, it offers greater freedom in storage configuration when not in use, as well as greater freedom in choosing how to attach it when in use.

[0053] Furthermore, as described above, the rib-knit fabric constituting the storage device 1 (storage section 2) according to this embodiment has a pleated structure in which the elasticity in the width direction (horizontal direction) is higher than the elasticity in the longitudinal direction (vertical direction), and the stored items can be changed into a form that is visible from the outside through this stretching and deformation. The storage device 1 (storage section 2) according to this embodiment requires (1) a certain degree of cushioning and shock absorption for the protection of the stored items, while (2) a structure that allows changes in the state of the stored items to be seen from the outside. The storage device 1 according to this embodiment uses a rib-knit fabric having the pleated three-dimensional structure described above, thus fulfilling the requirement of (1) above. The necessary thickness and density of the fabric can be easily ensured, and due to its structural characteristics, the form for obtaining the visibility described in (2) above can be easily realized without any special or additional provision. In other words, the above (1) and (2), which are difficult to achieve simultaneously when using knit fabrics with knitting methods that do not have the above-mentioned structural features of this embodiment or fabrics of other materials, can be realized with a simple configuration. In particular, by constructing the entire storage device from the above-described rib-knit structure of knit fabric, a simple configuration with high cost advantages can be realized.

[0054] The shape of the handle portion 3 is not limited to the shape described above. For example, the first strip portion 31 and the second strip portion 32 may be configured not to be connected on the other side in the L direction, that is, the notch portion 4 may be formed to reach the end on the other side in the L direction, and the connecting portion 33 may not be provided. In this case, the outer edges in the W direction of the first strip portion 31 and the second strip portion 32 may be left open, and the first strip portion 31 and the second strip portion 32 may be configured as independent strip-shaped handle portions, allowing the object to be attached O to be inserted through the inside of each along the W direction.
