Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Industrial field of application The present invention relates to a flexible band stopper for bags, particularly for large travel bags or bags, which can be used depending on the state of carrying the bag or the amount of contents. Accordingly, the present invention relates to a band stopper that can arbitrarily change the state of the band to be carried by hand, to be used as a handle when using a caster, or to be carried on one's back.

BACKGROUND TECHNOLOGY A large bag for travel or a bag for mountain climbing that adjusts its volume according to the amount of contents;
(For example, Utility Model Publication No. 57-22815 ``A bag that can store clothes''), a device that adjusts the length of the band when carrying it by rolling it on the ground using casters (already,
(Generally available on the market), and those carried on the back with a shoulder strap (for example, "Zatsuku", Utility Model Publication No. 58-6336) are known.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention Although the conventional technology exemplified above allows the band to be adjusted as required in each case, it is not possible to adjust the band as required in each case. There is still no known band that can be used for all types of items (carrying by hand, using casters, and carrying on one's back).

Means for Solving the Problems To briefly describe the means for solving the above problems according to the present invention, it is possible to use both sides of a large bag (including Zatsuku; the same applies hereinafter) (only one side may be used if carrying is not required). It has a pair of bands (the bands on both sides may be continuous on the bottom of the bag) attached in an inverted U-shape along the upper part of the bag. By fixing the band by shifting it vertically and horizontally relative to these fasteners, it not only responds immediately to the above three usage conditions, but also adapts to the user's physique (height, shoulder width, etc.). ) The length, spacing, etc. of the band can be adjusted appropriately.

Function The structure and function of the band stopper of the present invention will be clarified in the following embodiments and explanation of the effects of the present invention, but before that, the general function of the band stopper will be described. Once the band is positioned against the stopper, it will not shift at all even if you pull it, and when you want to shift the band relative to the stopper, you can easily move it vertically or horizontally. It is a certain thing.

Embodiments Hereinafter, the flexible band stopper of the present invention will be exemplarily described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view illustrating a travel bag 10 with a flexible band 1 according to the present invention, the stops 2, 2 being considerably enlarged for clarity. Band 1 is Batsugu 10
Attach rivets to the bottom 3 of the bag so as to form an inverted U-shape either separately or continuously on both sides of the bag. ) or may be attached via a buckle (not shown) or the like, and each inverted U-shaped band 1 has a rising portion 6 extending upward along the side surface 5 of the bag, and a rising portion 6 extending upwardly of the bag. It has a hand holding part 7. In other words,
The band 1 is divided by a stopper 2 into an upper hand handle 7 and a lower shoulder strap 6. This stopper 2 is fixed by shifting the band 1 arbitrarily vertically and horizontally relative to the stopper 2, as will be explained in detail next.
The band 1 can be adjusted to suit the following various usage patterns depending on the usage conditions of the various bags and the physique of the user.

(a) Adjust the hand handle 7 to be long or short (high or low).

(b) When the volume (height) of the bag is changed using the zipper 8 at the bottom of the bag 10, the length of the handle 7 is adjusted accordingly.

(c) A caster 9 at the bottom of the bag allows the length of the handle 7 to be adjusted according to the position of the user's hand when rolling the bag.

(d) When carrying the bag 10 on one's back, the shoulder strap 6 is stretched (that is, the hand handle 7 becomes shorter) (in addition, in the case of a double-sided connecting band, it can be flexed from the band on the opposite side). You can fold it and carry it on your back like a school bag.

(e) The position of the backpack band 6 can be adjusted vertically and horizontally according to the user's physique (specifically, the width of the shoulders and the thickness of the arms).

Hereinafter, the details of the flexible band stopper 2 of the present invention will be explained with reference to FIGS. 2 to 4. The stopper 2 shown schematically in FIG. 1 includes a base or slide groove 11 that is fixed to the side surface of the bag with rivets or the like, and a fitting or sliding groove that fits into the base and slides along the groove. FIGS. 3A and B show two examples of the base part, and FIGS. 4A and B are perspective views showing two examples of the fitting part corresponding to the base part shown in FIGS. 3A and B, respectively. , FIG. 2 has a fourth section at the base of FIG.
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line - in the used state of the fastener with the fitting portion of FIG.

Simply put, the band stopper 2 of the present invention allows the band 1 to be passed through it to be shifted vertically and horizontally depending on the state of use of the bag and the physique of the user. It is a flexible band stopper that can be fixed.

The only difference between Example A and Example B described below is that the latter has a rounder outer shape than the former, and that the belt is exposed above the fitting part in the fitted state. They will be explained using the same reference numerals at the same time.

Figures 3A and 3B show a base or groove 11 secured to the upper side of the bag 10;
The device has an elongated base 13 having a mounting hole 14 for attachment to the side surface of the frame 1, and an elongated frame 15 integrally formed (for example, plastic molded) upward from the base. And this elongated frame 15
An elongated groove 16 is formed on the upper surface and is open, and elongated openings 17 having approximately the same length as the groove 16 on the upper surface are formed on both sides thereof. The height (upper and lower gap width) of these openings 17 is such that the band 1 can be inserted therethrough as described later, but the length (the width of the opening 17) is smaller than the width of the band by the required lateral movement amount of the band. It's made longer.

4A and 4B show a fitting part or sliding part 12 that can be fitted and slid from side to side with respect to the base 11 of FIGS. 3A and B, respectively, and the band 1 is hooked inside the base 11 and It has a bracket part 19 for lifting and supporting, and side leg parts 22 which are integrally formed with the bracket part 19 and fit along both sides of the elongated frame 15 of the base part 11 so as to sandwich the base part.

In the embodiment A, the legs 22 on both sides are integrally formed with the upper plate part 20, and the band 1 passes through the slit 18 between the upper plate part 20 and the bracket part 19, whereas in the embodiment In B, the legs 22 on both sides are
Since the band 1 is connected by the bridge portions 20b at both ends, the band 1 is lifted by the bracket portion 19.
(indicated by the dotted line a→e) is in a state where it can be seen from the outside, and therefore the part corresponding to the slit 18 in Example A becomes a space that is open upwards, and when changing the band position, which will be explained later, it can be seen from the outside. Since you can pick up the band from the front, it is convenient when moving the band.

Preferably, the inner lower edges of the legs 22 on both sides of the fitting part 12 have a snap function that defines the fitting and clamping position between the legs 22 and the frame 15, and
Appropriate protrusions 23 and grooves 24 (Figures 2 and 3 and 4 show the convex-concave relationship in the opposite manner) may be provided in order to achieve the sliding action of the present invention. It is understood that this fitting and sliding relationship is not essential for operation since the fitting portion 12 of the stopper 2 is always crimped toward the base 11 due to its tensile force when the band itself is in use. be done.

FIG. 2 shows that the fitting part 12 of FIG. 4A is fitted into the base 11 of FIG.
As shown in d and e, it bends greatly inside the base 11 (it bends at an almost right angle as shown in b at the inner edge of the opening 17, then it is lifted up by the bracket part 19 and bends twice at right angles as shown in c), and then on the opposite side. bent at an almost right angle d) at the opening 17 of the
This shows the state in which it is pulled out. This state will be well understood since it is also shown by dotted lines a→e in each of FIGS. 3 and 4.

Effects of the invention The effects of the invention will become clear by understanding the structure of the above-described embodiment and by specifically explaining the operation of the stopper 2 of the invention in each state of use of the bag.

Therefore, hereinafter, the operation of the flexible band stopper 2 of the present invention will be explained mainly with reference to FIG. 2.

The band 1 can be inserted into the stopper 2 at any time after the bag 10 is completed if a part of the band has a buckle connection (not shown). If it does not have one (which in practice is rather rare), it must be passed through the stop 2 during bag manufacture before the band 1 is fixed to the bottom. the band 1
As shown by the dotted line in the cross-sectional view of FIG.
passes over the bracket part 19 of
5 and exits through another opening 17 in the base 11. It will be readily understood that threading the band 1 in this manner is easily carried out in the initial state when both parts 11, 12 of the stop 2 are separated. That is, after inserting the band 1 into the groove 11 and the fitting part 12 of the stopper 2 in the above order, the stopper 2 is fitted into the state shown in FIG. 2 while appropriately pulling the band in the vertical direction. For example, the band 1 is fixed to the stopper 2 at a desired position in the vertical and horizontal directions. The advantage is that the band 1 can be fixed at a desired position depending on the usage condition of the bag 10 (there are various cases mentioned above), and especially when the bag is carried on the user's back, the backpack band 6 can be fixed according to the physique of the user. The length and spacing can be arbitrarily adjusted, and the pulling force of the band 1 during use is determined by the tension of each opening 17 and bracket portion 19 of the stopper, which is generated by bending the band as shown in dotted lines in FIG. This is because the phenomenon of shifting the band due to the frictional engagement force with the edge of the band does not occur.
Although the bracket part 19 of the fitting part 12 is shown in FIG. 2 to have a length that does not contact the upper surface of the base part 11, if it is formed to a length that makes contact with the base part, the tension of the band 1 will be reduced. The advantage is that the force does not directly reach the upper plate 20 or the bridge portion 20b of the fitting portion, and the outer surface 2 of the base frame 15 is reduced by the legs 22 on both sides of the fitting portion 12.
This is a particularly preferred design since it has the advantage of not inhibiting the clamping action of No. 1.

As already understood, in order for the user to shift the position of the band 1 relative to the stopper 2 in the vertical direction and/or to move it in the left-right direction, the fitting portion of the stopper 2 (or sliding part) 12
This can be easily done by pinching the band with your fingertips (in Example B, you can also pinch the bent part of the band directly) and slightly pushing the band 1 into the stopper 2 with your other fingertips to loosen the internal frictional force. Desired vertical adjustment (shifting) and left/right sliding (band interval adjustment) can be performed as desired.

Note that the legs 22 of the sliding part 12 are not only used as guide protrusions for sliding, but also to suppress the tendency of the frame bodies 15 on both sides of the base 11 to curve outward due to tension during use of the band 1. Note that it also has a pinching effect.

In this way, the flexible band stopper 2 of the present invention
This is more flexible than the prior art in that, in addition to adapting to the bag being carried by hand or being used on a caster, the backpack band 6 can be freely adjusted to suit the width of the shoulders and the thickness of the arm when the bag 10 is carried on the back. , it can be said that it has added convenience.

It should be noted that, as a matter of course, those skilled in the art can easily make minute modifications such as integrally forming the bases of the two fasteners or providing a reinforcing metal backing on the inner surface of the bag.
