Description

The present invention relates to a bag according to the preamble of claim 1.

Such utensil bags are known per se. They are used to store numerous accessories, for example, for painting or photographing, clear, gentle and captive, so that it is not damaged during transport and removed without a long search of the bag and can be covered again after use. These bags should also be neither too big nor too heavy, so that they can be transported comfortably even with content.

The known utensil bags are characterized by the fact that a certain number of compartments for receiving accessories or other parts is fixed. Therefore, these pockets lack some flexibility, i. they can not be adapted in their design to the respective needs of the user in individual cases.

The US patent application US 2002/0029946 A1 discloses a cosmetic and travel bag for accommodating garments with multiple wearing options. This bag consists of a connecting web, on each of which a pocket element is articulated on both sides. Each pocket element can be folded inwards once to shorten the height of the bag. Arrangements for accommodating objects, in particular items of clothing, are provided in the individual pocket elements.

The object of the present invention is therefore to provide a bag and a bag sleeve of the above type, which does not have this disadvantage and can be adapted in their design to the particular needs of the user.

The solution consists in a bag with the features of claim 1. The bag according to the invention is modular in its interior, therefore, to customize and versatile. It is lightweight, durable and handy and reliably protects the contents from external influences.

Advantageous developments emerge from the subclaims.

An embodiment of a bag according to the invention is shown schematically in FIG FIG. 1 shown. In the embodiment, it is a painter's bag, which is provided for receiving various painting utensils. Any other applications, such as. As a photo bag, tool bag, sample case, etc. are of course also conceivable.

The bag 1 is rectangular with a bottom 2, two large side walls 3,4, two small side walls 5, 6 and a lid 7. The lid has one or more closures 8, preferably snap closures or clip closures. Further, on the small side walls 5, 6 eyelets 9 for attaching a support belt 10, for example. By means of snap hook, provided. An annular strap 11 runs parallel guided around the bag 1 and ends at the top in two handles 12,13. On each large side wall 3, 4 four lugs 14 are provided which hold the tether 11 in position and ensure the parallel guidance. The eyelets are also used to hang the strap 10 and a belt identical thereto (not shown) so that the bag can be worn on the back in the manner of a backpack or Ranzens.

The structure of the bag 1 results FIG. 2 , In the unfolded state it can be seen that the bag 1 consists of several elements. The centerpiece is a pocket envelope 20, which in turn is composed of several components. One of these components is a central holding element 21, which is designed in the form of an open-topped container. In the exemplary embodiment, the central holding element 21 has substantially the shape of a thin cuboid and is used to hold coloring paper, drawing block o. The like .. At the upper outer longitudinal edges 22, 23 of the central support member 21, two flat parts are mounted so that they are around the are pivotable from the longitudinal edges defined axes. These parts are two-dimensional unwinds 24, 31 of three-dimensional, in the embodiment cuboid containers, each with a bottom 25, 32, two large side panels 26, 33, 27, 34, two small side panels 28, 35, 29, 36 and a Cover part 30, 37. On the surfaces of these developments 24, 31 are various containers 38, 39, 40, 42, 42, 43 reversibly attached.

Out FIG. 2 is also apparent that for closing the bag 1, first the side parts 27, 34 are brought parallel to the central support member 21, that are brought into contact with the corresponding side surfaces of the central support member 21, then the large side parts 26, 33 are folded upwards small side parts 28, 29, 35, 36 are struck inwards and finally the lid parts 30, 37 is folded over so that it covers the opening of the central holding element 21. It follows that the small side walls 5 and 6 of the pocket 1 in FIG. 1 from the folded side parts 29, 36 and 28, 35 in FIG. 2 , be formed. Likewise, the large side walls 3, 4 of the bag 1 in FIG. 1 from the large side parts 26, 33 in FIG. 2 educated. The lid 7 in FIG. 1 corresponds to the lid 30, 37 in FIG FIG. 2 ,

Since the different containers 38 to 43 in FIG. 2 are removably attached, any containers can be attached to the unwinds 24, 31, so that the bag 1 highly flexible can be adapted to the needs of the user. The pocket 1 or the compartments or containers contained in it are thus of modular construction, so that the individual containers can be put together individually according to the needs of the user.

Not shown is that the tether 11 may consist of two tethers 11 a and 11 b, whose free ends are fixed to the lower longitudinal edges 22 ', 23' of the central support member 21. The straps 11a, 12a thus extend in a U-shape through the eyelets 14 and above the cover 7 or 30, 37, the handles 12, 13. Since the straps 11a, 11b can run freely through the eyelets 14, this means that in unfolded state of the bag 1, the tethers 11 a, 11 b only on the handles 12, 13 must be taken to fold the open pocket 1 in the manner of a Leporellos together, the unwinds 24, 31, act as folding elements, in which the large Fold side parts 26, 33, 27, 34 together like a fan. Subsequently, only the small side parts 28, 35 and 29, 36 are beaten into each other and the cover parts 30, 37 are beaten on the central support member 21 to close the bag 1. Finally, the shutters 8 are locked.

As a material for the bag 1 is preferably a flexible plastic material, for example. A water-repellent plastic or a plastic-coated or preferably made of plastic fibers textile material, for example. Nylon fabric used. For this material, the pocket envelope 20 is preferably made, but also the containers 38 to 43 may be made therefrom. This has the advantage that the bag 1 water and dirt repellent and washable and thanks to the special construction of central support member 21 and collapsible developments 24, 31, is also waterproof. The unwinds 24, 31 namely in the folded state completely enclose the central holding element 21 and the individual containers 38 to 43 and thus have a sealing effect against external influences of all kinds, in particular against the weather (rain, etc.). This is particularly useful when used as a painter's bag, since both the papers used and the finished images are protected from moisture. To further protect against moisture and other environmental influences, the inner surfaces of the plastic or textile material used may additionally be gummed or coated in a water-repellent manner in other ways. Plastic-coated textile material also has the advantage that the individual parts of the pocket 1 can be sewn, which simplifies the production of the pocket 1.

Out FIG. 2 It can also be seen that the bag 1 is relatively stable when unfolded. This can be achieved by using the flexible material in two layers and by interposing between these layers an amplifier layer, for example of a stiffer plastic material. By this stiffening the bag 1 also keeps its shape in the unfolded state and provides sufficient support to securely fix the containers 38 to 43. For production, the reinforcing layer is placed between two suitably cut plastic or textile webs, and the plastic or textile layers are welded or preferably sewn at their outer edges.

FIG. 3 shows the development 24 in a plan view FIG. 2 with the bottom 25, the large side parts 26, 27, the small side parts 28, 29 and the cover part 30. The free edge 26 'of the side part 26 is fixedly connected to the outer upper edge 23 of the central holding element 21. The dimensions of the large side parts 26, 27 correspond to those of the central holding element 21. The dimensions of the small side parts 28, 29 and the cover part 30 are dimensioned so that they in the folded state of the bag 1, the narrow sides of all containers 38 to 43 and the central support member Cover 21 and form a closed narrow side 5,6, as shown in Figure 1. On the inner surfaces of the side part 26 strip-shaped hook and loop fasteners 44 are attached, which serve to attach containers 38 to 43. Furthermore, strip-shaped hook and loop fasteners 45 are attached along the free edges of the side parts 28, 29 and the cover part 30, which serve to close the bag 1.

Comparably shows FIG. 4 the settlement 31 from FIG. 2 with the bottom 32, the large side parts 33, 34, the small side parts 35, 36 and the cover part 37. The free edge 34 'of the side part 34 is fixedly connected to the outer upper edge 22 of the central holding element 21. The dimensions of the large side parts 33, 34 correspond to those of the central holding element 21. The dimensions of the small side parts 35, 36 and the cover part 37 are dimensioned so that they in the folded state of the bag 1, the narrow sides of all containers 38 to 43 and the central support member Cover 21 and form a closed narrow side 5,6, as shown in Figure 1. On the inner surfaces of the side parts 33 and 34 strip-shaped hook-and-loop fasteners 46 are attached, which serve for the attachment of containers 38 to 43. Furthermore, strip-shaped Velcro fasteners 47 on the outer surfaces of the side parts 35, 36 and the cover part 37th along its inner, the side portion 33 adjacent edges attached, which serve to close the bag 1.

From the synopsis of FIGS. 2 to 4 it is now apparent how the bag 1 is folded together. First, the side parts 26, 34 are brought with their outer surfaces with the central support member 21 in contact until they are parallel to the holding member 21. Then the side parts 27, 33 are folded upwards until they are parallel with the side parts 26, 34. Subsequently, the side parts 35, 36 are folded inwards. Then the side parts 28, 29 are beaten over until the hook-and-loop fasteners 47 on the one hand and 45 on the other hand lie approximately one above the other and come into contact with each other. Now the side walls 5, 6 are off FIG. 1 educated. Finally, the lid part 37 is folded over the upper narrow sides of the central holding element 21 and the containers now formed by the unwinds 24, 31 and the lid part 30 is beaten over until the respective hook and loop fasteners 47, 45 come into contact. In this way, the lid 7 in FIG. 1 educated. Since both the side parts 5, 6 and the lid 7 of the bag 1 are formed by double-layered side parts of the unwinds 24, 31, the bag 1 and its contents are particularly well protected from environmental influences.

The nature of the containers 38 to 43 results from the FIGS. 5 to 6d , FIG. 5 shows a container 39, which itself is again designed as a development, with a bottom 50, two large side parts 51, 52, two small side parts 53, 54 and a cover part 55. The dimensions of the large side parts 26, 27 corresponds to those of the central holding element 21st The large side panel is used, for example, to accommodate small parts such as brushes or pencils, for example, in the manner of a writing or pencil case loops for receiving the parts can be attached. On the inner surfaces of the large side part 52 and the lid part 55 and the outside of the small side parts 53, 54 strip-shaped hook and loop fasteners 56, 57 are mounted, which serve to seal the container 39. For this purpose, first the small side parts 53, 54 are folded inwards. Then the large side part 52 is struck so that the hook and loop fasteners 56, 57 come into contact and connect the parts together. Finally, the cover part 55 is struck over the side part 52 until the corresponding hook and loop fasteners 56, 57 come into contact, so that the container 39 is completely closed. Furthermore, strip-shaped hook and loop fasteners 58 are attached to the outside of the side part 51, with which the container 39, for example. On the inside of a large side part 33, 34, 26, 27 a settlement 24, 31 can be attached. The container 39 may, for example, with an absorbent material, eg terry, be designed to receive wet brush. Since it can be spread as a two-dimensional development, it can also be designed for drying.

The FIGS. 6a to 6d show further containers 38, 40, 41, 42, which are provided on their outer sides with hook and loop fasteners 59, with which they can on the inner surface of one of the large side parts 26, 27, 33, 34 a settlement 24, 31 are attached. As shown, the containers can be open or completely closed on the sides, for example with a zipper. In the containers can, for example, painting utensils such as paper, water (eg. In dense plastic containers), vessels for washing brushes, sponges u. Like. Are kept dry and secure, since the folded bag 1 with the folded-up transactions 24, 31 provides a secure seal.

It goes without saying that the arrangement of the hook and loop fasteners can be chosen freely, depending on the application of the bag 1 and depending on the type of containers used 38 to 43. It is also advantageous if the thickness of the containers 38 to 43 and the corresponding Dimensions of the unwinds 24, 31 are always identical or as a multiple of a common unit of measurement, for example. 2 cm are selected. In this way, all the containers 38 to 43 fit all the Velcro closures and in each area of the unwinds 24, 31, so that their positioning within the pocket 1 is completely arbitrary.

The containers 38 to 43 are preferably made of the same material as the pocket envelope 20, that is to say of a flexible material, preferably of a plastic or textile material or plastic-coated textile material. Again, the material can be used in two layers, with an intermediate amplifier layer, for example. From a stiffer plastic material. Through this stiffening preserve the containers, even if they are empty, their shape and provide enough support to one hand, the respective utensils safely and on the other hand to be securely attached to the bag cover 20 on the other hand.

FIG. 7 finally shows an accessory bag 60, eg. For a collapsible stool. The accessory bag has loops 61, 62. The accessory bag can be attached to the loops 61, 62 fasteners, such as snap hooks on the eyelets 9 on an outside of the bag 1 are attached (not shown). With the so attached accessory bag, it is of particular advantage that the bag 1 can also be worn in the manner of a backpack by the shoulder strap 10 and a second strap are hung in the eyelets on the second outer side of the bag 1 (see above).

The bag 1 according to the invention is therefore modular in its interior, therefore to design individually and versatile. It is lightweight, durable and handy and reliably protects the contents from external influences.
