Compression pouch for outerwear

[0001] The present invention relates to a compression pouch for outerwear capable of compressing and storing multiple coats.

[0002] Due to recent global warming, the annual temperature range is becoming extreme worldwide, leading people to purchase more thick coats to prepare for the winter cold.

[0003] However, since these thick coats are not worn during the summer, a problem arises regarding the lack of closet space to store them.

[0004] Thick winter coats are bulky and take up a lot of closet space; if stored in limited space, they can lead to mold growth due to moisture or damage from pests.

[0005] According to the prior art, as illustrated in FIG. 1, thick winter coats were often stored using vacuum compression bags. However, this method has the disadvantage that space utilization is inefficient when storing multiple coats due to the volume of the vacuum compression bags themselves, and that recycling the vacuum compression bags is difficult, which causes environmental pollution.

[0006] Therefore, there is a need for technology that eliminates concerns about environmental pollution, reduces the volume of thick winter coats to efficiently utilize closet space, and safely protects clothing from moisture and pests even in enclosed spaces.

[0007] The present invention aims to implement an outer compression pouch to solve the aforementioned problems.

[0008] Through this, the present invention aims to provide a clothing storage solution that reduces the volume of thick winter coats to increase space utilization, protects clothes from moisture and pests, and enables efficient storage and management.

[0009] A compression pouch for outerwear according to one embodiment of the present invention for achieving the above technical objectives comprises: a pouch body forming a storage space for storing at least one outer garment; a compression part formed on the side of the pouch body and formed to compress the storage space when a zipper is attached; and a pair of protruding loop parts each located at the top of the front and rear portions of the pouch body and formed in the upward direction of the pouch body; wherein the pair of protruding loop parts may have a shape that can be hung on a hanger and fixed.

[0010] In addition, the pouch body includes a ventilation section formed with a predetermined width in one area of ​​the front and rear portions of the pouch body, and the ventilation section may be composed of a grid-shaped mesh material to allow external air and air inside the pouch body to flow.

[0011] In addition, among the above pair of protruding loop portions, one protruding loop portion is connected to the front portion and the other protruding loop portion is connected to the rear portion, and the zipper of the compression portion is fastened so that when the storage space of the pouch body is compressed, each protruding loop portion is formed to overlap in the same shape.

[0012] Additionally, the front portion includes a zipper and a zipper line formed along the outer edge of the boundary surface where the front portion and the side of the pouch body meet, wherein the zipper line may be formed on the left and right sides, respectively, of the front portion.

[0013] Additionally, the rear portion includes a zipper and a zipper line formed along the outer edge of the boundary surface where the front portion and the side of the pouch body meet, wherein the zipper line may have a zipper formed on one side between the left and right sides of the rear portion.

[0014] In addition, it may further include a pocket for storing a desiccant formed on the inner surface of the rear portion and positioned so as to be close to the zipper line.

[0015] Additionally, the pouch body may further include a plurality of auxiliary loop portions formed facing each other near a zipper line formed on the side of the pouch body; and a first attachment member and a second attachment member for joining the front and rear portions when the compression portion is compressed, on the front and rear portions.

[0016] The present invention provides a compression pouch for outerwear that can compress and store multiple coats, thereby drastically reducing the volume of thick coats and allowing for efficient use of closet space.

[0017] In addition, by protecting clothing stored in a sealed space from moisture and pests, damage to the coat can be prevented and its lifespan extended.

[0018] In addition, bulky coats that are difficult to store and move can be stored in a compressed state, making them easier to move and manage.

[0026] Embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the attached drawings so that those skilled in the art can easily implement the invention. However, the present invention may be embodied in various different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Furthermore, in order to clearly explain the present invention in the drawings, parts unrelated to the explanation have been omitted, and similar parts throughout the specification are denoted by similar reference numerals.

[0027] Throughout the specification, when a part is described as "comprising" a certain component, this means that, unless specifically stated otherwise, it does not exclude other components but may include additional components, and it should be understood that this does not preclude the existence or addition of one or more other features, numbers, steps, actions, components, parts, or combinations thereof.

[0028] The following examples are detailed descriptions to aid in understanding the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Accordingly, inventions within the same scope that perform the same function as the present invention will also fall within the scope of the present invention.

[0029] The present invention relates to a compression pouch for outerwear capable of compressing and storing a plurality of outerwear, and a compression pouch for outerwear according to one embodiment of the present invention can be implemented as follows.

[0030] Referring to FIG. 2, a compression pouch according to one embodiment of the present invention may include a pouch body (100) forming a storage space for storing a plurality of coats, a compression part (104) that compresses the storage space containing the coats by combining a zipper formed on the side of the pouch body (100), and a pair of protruding loop parts (101) that are respectively located on the upper part of the front part (102) and the rear part (103) of the pouch body (100) and formed in the upward direction of the pouch body (100).

[0031] Here, the pouch body (100) may have a rectangular shape having a predetermined thickness overall as shown in FIG. 2, and the top may be formed in a rounded shape having a specific curvature.

[0032] At this time, a pair of protruding loop portions (101) have a shape that allows them to be fixed by being hung on a hanger. A pair of protruding loop portions (101) can be implemented in various shapes that allow them to be fixed by being hung on a hanger. However, in a representative embodiment, as illustrated, the bottom surface forms a straight line and the side and top surfaces form a curve, and one side is open to function as a loop. The protruding loop portions (101) can serve the function of making it easy to hang the coat hanger stored inside on the hanger. Specifically, the upper center of the pouch body (100) forms an opening space through which the coat hanger stored inside can protrude out. Then, the coat hanger can be fixed to the hanger by being hung on the hanger after it has come out. During this process, the pouch body (100) must remain in a fixed state on the hanger. The protruding ring portion (101) performs this role and can keep the pouch body (100) fixed to the hanger even during the process of compressing the pouch body (100).

[0033] In addition, a pouch body (100) according to one embodiment of the present invention may include a ventilation portion (105) formed with a predetermined width in one area of ​​the front portion (102) and the rear portion (103) of the main body.

[0034] Here, the ventilation section (105) may be composed of a grid-shaped mesh material. The ventilation section (105) is formed to allow external air and air inside the pouch body (100) to flow, thereby minimizing damage to the clothing caused by sealed air even when the coat is stored in the pouch body (100) for a long time.

[0035] Additionally, the ventilation section (105) may be formed on the upper side offset by a predetermined length relative to the center of the pouch body (100), and may be formed in a rectangular shape surrounding the pouch body (100).

[0036] Meanwhile, referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, a compression part (104) according to one embodiment of the present invention is formed on a side portion between the front portion (102) and the rear portion (103) of the pouch body (100) as shown in the figure, and can compress or expand the storage space of the pouch body (100).

[0037] The zipper structure for such compression operation may be implemented in different ways according to various embodiments, but in this embodiment, the zipper structure may be composed of a compression zipper (110) and a compression zipper line (111). Additionally, the compression zipper line (111) may be formed to surround the storage space along the outer edge of the pouch body (100). Accordingly, when the compression zipper (110) is fastened, the storage space of the pouch body (100) is compressed, and when the compression zipper (110) is released, the storage space of the pouch body (100) is expanded.

[0038] Additionally, the compression zipper line (111) and the compression zipper (110) may be configured to surround the entire side portion of the pouch body (100) at once. Alternatively, they may be configured on the left side portion and the right side portion, respectively, based on a pair of protruding loop portions (101) among the side portions.

[0039] Additionally, the locking direction of the zipper for compressing the pouch body (100) may be counterclockwise or clockwise. However, due to the storage principle of the product, compression may occur as it moves in a counterclockwise direction opposite to the position of the protruding loop part (101), and compression may be released as the zipper moves clockwise.

[0040] Meanwhile, the pair of protruding ring portions (101) of the present invention are positioned so that they overlap each other when viewed from the front of the pouch body (100), so that when viewed from the front, the pair of protruding ring portions (101) may appear to overlap in the same shape.

[0041] To this end, a pair of protruding ring portions (101) of the present invention may be implemented such that one protruding ring portion (101) is connected to the front portion (102) and the other protruding ring portion (101) is connected to the rear portion (103).

[0042] Meanwhile, the protruding ring portion (101) of the present invention can be coupled to the front portion (102) or rear portion (103) of the compression pouch by means of a ring support portion (116).

[0043] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the ring support portion (116) is formed at the center of the front portion (102) and the rear portion (103), and is formed at the upper center of the ventilation portion (105). The ring support portion (116) may be formed in a band shape having a predetermined length above the front portion (102) or the rear portion (103). The ring support portion (116) may include a first sewing portion sewn in an X shape at the end closer to the ventilation portion (105), and may also include a second sewing portion below the other end by a predetermined length. As the sewing is firmly fixed vertically, it can be firmly fixed to the protruding ring portion.

[0044] In addition, one end of the ring support part (116) adjacent to the second sewing part is configured as a connecting ring that is combined with the protruding ring part (101), so that the outer compression pouch can be easily hung on a rod-shaped hanger.

[0045] Next, referring to FIG. 4, a pouch body (100) according to one embodiment of the present invention may include a plurality of auxiliary loop portions (107) formed facing each other near a zipper line formed on the side of the pouch body (100).

[0046] These auxiliary loops (107) may be formed to overlap in a circular shape when the compression part (104) is compressed. The auxiliary loops (107) may be intended to hold the zipper to be fastened forward with the other hand that is not holding the zipper, so that it is easy to fasten the zipper when the zipper of the compression pouch is rotated and compressed.

[0047] According to one embodiment of the present invention, auxiliary ring portions (107) may be formed on both sides of the front portion (102) and the rear portion (103) along the compression zipper line (111). A pair of auxiliary ring portions (107) may be formed above the ventilation portion (105) and two pairs below the ventilation portion (105). Auxiliary ring portions (107) may also be formed at the same location on the opposite side, and each pair of auxiliary ring portions (107) may be formed with the same spacing. However, this is merely an example, and the location and number of auxiliary ring portions (107) may be configured in various ways.

[0048] Through this, the auxiliary loop portion (107) may be formed in a position that is easy to pull by hand so that the zipper is properly locked by pulling the position to be compressed when pulling the compression zipper (110).

[0049] Additionally, as shown in FIG. 5, the outer compression pouch of the present invention may further include a plurality of first attachment members and second attachment members (108) on the upper surface of the front portion (102) and the rear portion (103) to firmly combine the front portion (102) and the rear portion (103) when the compression portion (104) is compressed.

[0050] The first attachment member and the second attachment member (108) of the present invention may be implemented in various forms such as a loop, button, clip, zipper, etc., but in a representative embodiment, they may be composed of a pair of Velcro materials.

[0051] In this case, the first attachment member may be implemented as a rectangular Velcro. The first attachment member is formed on the upper surface of the front portion (102) and the rear portion (103), and may be formed on either side based on the open space of the upper surface. The second attachment member may be implemented as a strip shape in which a Velcro attachment is formed in one end area, and may be formed on the opposite side where the first attachment member is formed based on the open space of the upper surface.

[0052] This is intended to seal the open space so that the clothes hanger of the clothing stored in the storage space of the pouch body (100) can protrude. If this open space is left open, it is aesthetically unpleasing and the clothes may protrude, and dust may enter, so it is intended to seal it.

[0053] The compression pouch for outerwear according to the present invention can thereby prevent a plurality of outerwear stored in the storage space from extending into the open space as the storage space is compressed by the compression part (104).

[0054] Additionally, the pouch body (100) of the present invention may further include a name tag (106) capable of storing a memo paper on its upper surface.

[0055] The name tag (106) in the present invention is formed of a transparent material and has one side open so that a paper with a memo written on it can be inserted or removed through the open space. The name tag (106) may be capable of storing a memo containing information about the clothing stored in the compression pouch, for example, if a winter padded jacket is stored, winter padded jacket, if clothing sensitive to moisture is stored, clothing requiring caution regarding moisture, etc.

[0056] Meanwhile, referring to FIG. 6, the pouch body (100) of the present invention may include a front zipper (112), a front zipper line (113), a rear zipper (114), and a rear zipper line (115) formed along the outer edge of the boundary surface where the front part (102) of the pouch body (100) and the side meet, that is, along the outermost boundary part on the left and right sides of the front of the main body when the pouch body (100) is viewed from the front.

[0057] At this time, as illustrated, the front zipper (112) and the front zipper line (113) may be formed symmetrically on the left and right sides of the front part (102) with respect to the protruding loop part (101), respectively, along the outer edge of the boundary surface where the front part (102) and the side part meet. At this time, the direction in which the zippers are fastened and unfastened may also be formed symmetrically. In order to make it easy to hang the coat on a hanger after storing the coat in the pouch body (100), the front zipper (112) and the front zipper line (113) serve to open the entire front part of the pouch body (100).

[0058] Meanwhile, the rear zipper (114) and the rear zipper line (115) may be formed along the outer edge of the boundary surface where the rear part (103) and the side part of the pouch body (100) meet, and may be formed only on one side between the left and right sides of the rear part (103).

[0059] Referring to FIG. 7, at this time, a pocket (109) for storing a dehumidifier may be formed on the inner side of the rear portion (103) and positioned close to the zipper line.

[0060] The structure illustrated in FIGS. 6 and 7 allows for easy storage or replacement of dehumidifiers without reaching deep into the storage space by opening a zipper formed only on one side of the rear section (103) after the user has stored multiple coats, such as when putting a dehumidifier into or taking it out of the storage pocket. Additionally, when the coats are compressed and stored in the pouch body (100), if the entire front or rear section is opened, the compressed state may be released and the coats may bulge. However, if the rear zipper (114) and the rear zipper line (115) are configured on only one side of the rear section and only that section is opened, when one wishes to take out only one coat while it is compressed, that coat can be taken out without the compression of the remaining coats being released.

[0061] Through this, the present invention can minimize damage to clothing caused by foreign substances or microorganisms present on human hands by minimizing unnecessary physical contact after the coat is stored and compressed in a storage space.

[0062] The following describes the method of utilizing the present invention.

[0063] The present invention is intended for compressing and storing multiple thick coats. To this end, first, with the compression part (104) released, the protruding loop part (101) of the pouch body (100) can be hung on a horizontally arranged rod-shaped hanger (not shown). After releasing the front zipper (112) and the front zipper line (113) to open the front, winter outerwear such as padded coats can be inserted into the pouch body (100) and hung on a hanger. At this time, the hanger can be fixed by protruding through the open space on the upper surface of the pouch body (100) and hanging the hanger on the hanger. In this way, multiple outerwear can be inserted into the pouch body (100) and hung on the hanger.

[0064] Next, after storing the clothes, compression is performed through the compression zipper (110) and compression zipper line (111) of the compression section (104).

[0065] Through this method, the present invention can improve upon the problems of conventional storage methods using vacuum compression, where recycling of vacuum compression packs is difficult and substantial compression is not achieved due to the volume of the packaging pack itself.

[0066] The foregoing description of the present invention is for illustrative purposes only, and those skilled in the art will understand that other specific forms can be easily modified without altering the technical spirit or essential features of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments described above should be understood as illustrative in all respects and not restrictive. For example, each component described as a single unit may be implemented in a distributed manner, and components described as distributed may likewise be implemented in a combined form.

[0067] The scope of the present invention is defined by the claims set forth below rather than by the detailed description above, and all modifications or variations derived from the meaning and scope of the claims and equivalent concepts thereof should be interpreted as being included within the scope of the present invention.
