Description

  The present invention relates to a bag with a caster that is used when traveling or the like, that is, a carry case, and more particularly, to a carry case having a smartphone charging function.

  Smartphones with various functions (hereinafter simply referred to as “smartphones”) are now a necessity for daily life, and many people always carry them while traveling. When such a smartphone's battery runs out on the road, it can be recharged as soon as it is lucky. For example, since the Shinkansen has a power supply, it is possible to charge the smartphone while riding. Recently, an increasing number of coffee shops provide power for charging smartphones.

  However, there are times when you can't find a store that provides power for charging your smartphone, and even if you find one, it's used by your customers, so many people think about carrying a spare battery pack. Therefore, if the top surface of the carry case used for travel is equipped with a charging function, it is convenient because it can be easily charged by simply placing a smartphone on the top surface of the carry case during a trip break. Let's go.

  It would be even more convenient if part of the labor of the person pulling the carry case could be converted into electrical energy and used to charge the smartphone.

  In the carry case 1 shown in FIG. 9, a cover that can accommodate the smartphone 11 on the smartphone mounting surface that is a part of the outer surface 9 of the carry case 1 that becomes the upper surface when the carry case 1 is placed vertically. 21 is provided. In one Example, it is comprised so that the smart phone 11 accommodated in the cover 21 can be charged.

  FIG. 10 shows a cover 21 in another embodiment. As shown in FIG. 10A, the cover 21 has an insertion port 21a for the smartphone 11 and an opening 21c, and is formed in a shape that tapers toward the back end 21b. The cover 21 is formed of a flexible material such as a silicon material. As shown in FIG. 10B, after the smartphone 11 is inserted into the cover 21 from the insertion port 21a, both sides of the smartphone 11 are sandwiched between flexible materials and stabilized. Further, dust or dirt that has entered the cover 21 can be discharged from the opening 21c.

  The carry case 1 shown in FIG. 11 further includes a generator configured to be able to generate power using the rotation of the wheels 5a of at least one caster 5 (FIG. 11 (a) is a carry case). 1 is a side view of FIG. 1 and FIG. 11B is a bottom view of the carry case 1). In the embodiment shown in FIG. 11, the generator includes a magnet 22 provided on the side surface (rotation surface) 5 b of the wheel 5 a of the caster 5, and a coil 23 provided in the magnetic field of the magnet 22. This is an electromagnetic induction generator. In one embodiment, the generator coil 23 is attached to the caster receiver 5c. In this case, the electric energy that is generated in the generator 14 when the user checks the carry case 1 can be stored in the capacitor 14 of the charger 13 of the smartphone 11 so that the electric power that extends into the support rod of the caster receiver 5c can be stored. The generator coil 23 and the capacitor 14 are electrically connected via a cord (not shown).

  In another Example, it is not limited to the structure of the generator shown by FIG. For example, a generator may be provided inside the carry case 1, and the rotation of the wheels 5a of the casters 5 may be transmitted to the generator via a gear or the like to generate power. Also in that case, the generator and the capacitor 14 are electrically connected so that the electric energy generated by the generator can be stored in the capacitor 14 of the charger 13.

  As described above, the carry case 1 of the present invention can be charged by simply placing the smartphone 11 on the smartphone mounting surface on the outer surface of the carry case even when the battery capacity of the smartphone is reduced when traveling. There are advantages. Furthermore, there is also an advantage that the user can convert the labor when pulling the carry case into electric energy and use it for charging the smartphone.

  Depending on the type of charger 13 used, charging may be started automatically when the smartphone 11 is placed on the upper surface of the carry case 1, or the user of the carry case 1 may manually switch Charging may be started by operating.
