Description

    Field of the invention
  • This present invention relates to a convertible bag, and more particularly, relates to a convertible bag which could be converted into a garment.
  • Background of the invention
  • People take bags to store various articles when they go out. Generally, bags are only used for storing items, but have rarely been used for other functions. Especially, we need bigger bags for storing different types of items during a travel. However, when the items are taken out or consumed upon arrival, these bags might become troublesome. On the other hand, the weather may change suddenly or other unexpected events happen during the travel, thus, we might need to put on extra clothes. It would be embarrassing if we don't carry enough clothes. Then, if our bags could be converted to garments, the problem would be solved.
  • Likewise, in case of the temperature variation, such as entering into a warm shopping mall from a cold area, we need to spare a hand for carrying our garments after we take off the same. If we still have some other things to carry, it will be very inconvenient. However, if the garments are converted from convertible bags, we could convert the garments back to the convertible bags. Thus, not only we do not need to spare a hand to carry the garments, but also we can use the convertible bags to carry other items, which would be very user friendly.
  • Therefore, it is highly demanded that a convertible bag could be converted to a garment and vice versa. Presently, the existing convertible bags or convertible garments available in the market have the following disadvantages:
    1. i. A kind of convertible garment is provided with an additional bag. The conversion of the convertible garment is only to put the garment into the bag. Then, the prime function of the bag is to store the garment rather than to store other items. That is, the main purpose of the bag is to store the garment but not other things. Therefore, the bag attached to the garment cannot function as other common bags to store lots of things.
    2. ii. Some convertible bags or convertible garments are subject to a complex operation to finish the conversion, which is very inconvenient.
    3. iii. Some products only hide the bag inside the garment, that is, the bag is sewn or attached to the garment. As the bag is inside the garment, the user will feel very uncomfortable after putting on the garment due to the existence of the bag.
  • In addition, the existing convertible bags are generally made of waterproof or stiff materials, which would make the wearers very uncomfortable. Moreover, the converted garments are generally relative large in size, monotonous in style and nonaesthetic in appearance.
  • Summary of the invention
  • The object of the present invention is to provide a simple, practical, beautiful and comfortable convertible bag to solve the above-mentioned disadvantages in the prior arts, i.e. the monotonous functions, complexity, nonaethetic appearance and uncomfortability of the existing products.
  • To achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a convertible bag, which comprises a main body forming a garment in a stretched-out state and a first accessory provided suitably on the main body, in which the first accessory is engaged upon converting the garment to the main body, to securely hide part of the garment into another part of the garment.
  • In the present invention, the convertible bag may be a satchel, a shoulder bag, a handbag, or a backpack. The garment may be a jacket, a vest, a shirt, a T-shirt, a sweater, a skirt or a pair of pants. The first accessory may be a zipper, a buckle, a button, a velcro, or a snap fastener.
  • In addition, the convertible bag may further comprise a bag cover, and the bag cover may be detachably connected to the main body by virtue of a second accessory. Alternatively, the main body may be part of the garment and the bag cover may be the other part of the garment. A third accessory may be correspondingly provided at the bag cover and main body to enable the bag cover to abut against the main body closely. The second accessory or the third accessory may be a zipper, a buckle, a button, a velcro, or a snap fastener.
  • In addition, the convertible bag may further comprise a strap, and the strap may be detachably connected to the main body by virtue of a fourth accessory. The fourth accessory may be a zipper, a buckle, a button, a velcro, or a snap fastener.
  • In addition, an inner bag may be provided in the main body, and the inner bag may be detachably connected to the main body by virtue of a fifth accessory. The fifth accessory may be a zipper, a buckle, a button, a velcro, or a snap fastener.
  • In addition, the garment may further comprise an interlayer or a lining capable of containing the above bag cover, strap and/or inner bag after the convertible bag is stretched out to form a garment.
  • The convertible bag of the present invention has the following advantages. Before conversion, the present convertible bag could store many items just like common bags, thus, it serves the purpose of storing and carrying items as common bags. Through simple converting operation, the convertible bag could be converted to a garment, and the converted garment is beautiful and comfortable. The garment could also be converted back to a bag whenever is needed. The present invention is simple, convenient, multi-functional, beautiful and comfortable.

As shown in Fig. 1, the convertible bag is a satchel, comprising a main body 1, a bag cover 2 and a strap 3. The main body 1 could form a jacket in a stretched-out state. Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 are the front view and the back view of the jacket, respectively. The bag cover 2 is detachably connected to the main body 1 by virtue of a zipper 4 (refer to Fig. 6) correspondingly provided on the bag cover 2 and the main body 1. Snap fasteners 5 and 6 could further be correspondingly provided on the bag cover 2 and main body 1 to enable the bag cover 2 to abut against the main body 1 closely. The strap 3 is detachably connected to the main body 1 by virtue of buckles 7 as shown in a larger scale in Fig. 5. The above zippers, snap fasteners and buckles are interchangeable, or could be replaced by other accessories, such as velcros, buttons or pins.
  • Zippers 8 and 9 are provided at the bottom part of the main body 1 corresponding to the middle part of the converted jacket. During the course of forming the main body 1 from the jacket, the zippers 8 and 9 are zipped up after the upper half of the jacket is hidden into the lower half thereof to form a complete bag. Fig. 6 shows that two zippers are provided at the bottom part of the main body along the whole length thereof. However, a single zipper could be provided along the whole length of the bottom part of the main body. To make the appearance of the converted jacket aesthetic, welts 10 could be used to cover the zippers. In addition, the above zippers could be replaced by other accessories, such as snap fasteners, buckles, velcros, buttons or pins.
  • Figs. 4-11 illustrate the converting operation from the first embodiment of the present invention to a jacket.
