Definitions
- the present invention relates to a garment case accommodating clothes.
- a garment case is a bag for accommodating and carrying clothes such as a jacket and pants (see, for example, Patent Literature 1).
- the garment case is folded with clothes accommodated. As a result, the garment case is portable in size.
- Patent Literature 1 Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2003-153719
- the garment case is folded with clothes accommodated.
- the clothes are folded as well, and thus creasing attributable to folding, creasing attributable to misalignment of the clothes, and/or the like may occur at a part where the clothes are folded.
- work for crease removal becomes necessary, which bothers a user.
- Desirable in this regard is a garment case less prone to creasing.
- An object of an aspect of the present invention is to provide a garment case with which creasing of clothes can be suppressed.
- a garment case according to an aspect of the present invention is a garment case accommodating clothes, including a foldable main body capable of accommodating the clothes, in which a roll bar is attached inside the main body, is disposed in a position in which the main body is folded, and extends in a direction in which a folded part extends when the clothes have been accommodated in the garment case.
- the roll bar is attached to the main body.
- the roll bar is disposed in the position in which the main body is folded and extends in the direction in which the folded part extends when the clothes have been accommodated.
- clothes are folded across the roll bar in the position in which the main body is folded.
- the rolls bar are attached to the main body, and thus undergoes no positional misalignment when the garment case is carried.
- misalignment of clothes in the main body can be suppressed and creasing attributable to misalignment can be suppressed. Accordingly, creasing of clothes can be suppressed with the garment case.
- the roll bar may be removable from the main body at least in part. In this configuration, the roll bar is removed when clothes are accommodated in the main body, and thus the roll bar becoming a hindrance when clothes are accommodated can be avoided. Accordingly, clothes can be easily accommodated in the main body.
- the garment case may include a plate-shaped first member usable when tops among the clothes are accommodated and the first member may be covered with the tops and positioned at a part of the tops including a shoulder portion and disposed in the main body.
- the shape of the part of the tops including the shoulder portion is retained by the first member. Accordingly, biasing or the like of clothes in the main body attributable to, for example, vibration and/or impact can be suppressed. As a result, creasing of clothes can be further suppressed.
- the garment case may include a plate-shaped second member usable when bottoms among the clothes are accommodated and the second member may be disposed in the main body to be positioned on the bottoms which are folded via the roll bar.
- the bottoms are pressed and held by the second member in the main body. Accordingly, biasing or the like of clothes in the main body attributable to, for example, vibration and/or impact can be suppressed. As a result, creasing of clothes can be further suppressed.
- the roll bar may have a bar main body and a support body supporting the bar main body and the bar main body may have elasticity and flexibility.
- both clothes and the bar main body are deformed and pressed down in a case where the clothes are pushed to the roll bar side.
- the bar main body leaving a trace on clothes can be suppressed, and thus creasing can be suppressed.
- the bar main body is capable of following the deflection of the garment case since the bar main body of the roll bar is flexible. Accordingly, clothes are held by the bar main body, and thus misalignment of clothes in the main body can be suppressed. Accordingly, creasing of clothes can be suppressed.
- creasing of clothes can be suppressed.

Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a garment case accommodating clothes.
- A garment case is a bag for accommodating and carrying clothes such as a jacket and pants (see, for example, Patent Literature 1). The garment case is folded with clothes accommodated. As a result, the garment case is portable in size.
- Patent Literature 1: Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No.
2003-153719 - As described above, the garment case is folded with clothes accommodated. In this configuration, the clothes are folded as well, and thus creasing attributable to folding, creasing attributable to misalignment of the clothes, and/or the like may occur at a part where the clothes are folded. Once the clothes crease, work for crease removal becomes necessary, which bothers a user. Desirable in this regard is a garment case less prone to creasing.
- An object of an aspect of the present invention is to provide a garment case with which creasing of clothes can be suppressed.
- A garment case according to an aspect of the present invention is a garment case accommodating clothes, including a foldable main body capable of accommodating the clothes, in which a roll bar is attached inside the main body, is disposed in a position in which the main body is folded, and extends in a direction in which a folded part extends when the clothes have been accommodated in the garment case.
- In the garment case according to an aspect of the present invention, the roll bar is attached to the main body. The roll bar is disposed in the position in which the main body is folded and extends in the direction in which the folded part extends when the clothes have been accommodated. In this configuration, clothes are folded across the roll bar in the position in which the main body is folded. As a result, the clothes are folded along the roll bar, and thus no crease is likely to occur in the clothes. In addition, the roll bar is attached to the main body, and thus undergoes no positional misalignment when the garment case is carried. As a result, misalignment of clothes in the main body can be suppressed and creasing attributable to misalignment can be suppressed. Accordingly, creasing of clothes can be suppressed with the garment case.
- In an embodiment, the roll bar may be removable from the main body at least in part. In this configuration, the roll bar is removed when clothes are accommodated in the main body, and thus the roll bar becoming a hindrance when clothes are accommodated can be avoided. Accordingly, clothes can be easily accommodated in the main body.
- In an embodiment, the garment case may include a plate-shaped first member usable when tops among the clothes are accommodated and the first member may be covered with the tops and positioned at a part of the tops including a shoulder portion and disposed in the main body. In this configuration, the shape of the part of the tops including the shoulder portion is retained by the first member. Accordingly, biasing or the like of clothes in the main body attributable to, for example, vibration and/or impact can be suppressed. As a result, creasing of clothes can be further suppressed.
- In an embodiment, the garment case may include a plate-shaped second member usable when bottoms among the clothes are accommodated and the second member may be disposed in the main body to be positioned on the bottoms which are folded via the roll bar. In this configuration, the bottoms are pressed and held by the second member in the main body. Accordingly, biasing or the like of clothes in the main body attributable to, for example, vibration and/or impact can be suppressed. As a result, creasing of clothes can be further suppressed.
- In an embodiment, the roll bar may have a bar main body and a support body supporting the bar main body and the bar main body may have elasticity and flexibility. In this configuration, both clothes and the bar main body are deformed and pressed down in a case where the clothes are pushed to the roll bar side. As a result, the bar main body leaving a trace on clothes can be suppressed, and thus creasing can be suppressed. In addition, even in a case where the garment case is deflected by an external force applied to the garment case, the bar main body is capable of following the deflection of the garment case since the bar main body of the roll bar is flexible. Accordingly, clothes are held by the bar main body, and thus misalignment of clothes in the main body can be suppressed. Accordingly, creasing of clothes can be suppressed.
- According to an aspect of the present invention, creasing of clothes can be suppressed.

Thelining 3f is attached to the other edge along the longitudinal direction of themain body 3 and one edge along the shorter direction of themain body 3. As a result, thelinings FIG. 3 ). As illustrated inFIG. 2 , thelinings - A
roll bar 10 is attached to themain body 3. Theroll bar 10 is disposed in a position in which themain body 3 is folded and extends in a direction in which a folded part extends when clothes have been accommodated. Specifically, theroll bar 10 is disposed in a position corresponding to thegusset 3c inside themain body 3. In other words, theroll bar 10 is disposed in the middle portion of themain body 3 in the longitudinal direction thereof (up-down direction inFIG. 3 ) when themain body 3 is open as illustrated inFIG. 3 . Theroll bar 10 extends along the extension direction of the folded part of themain body 3, that is, the width direction of themain body 3. Theroll bar 10 is disposed between the inside surface of themain body 3 and thelinings - In the present embodiment, the
roll bar 10 has a barmain body 10a, asupport body 10b, afirst engagement portion 10c, and asecond engagement portion 10d. The barmain body 10a has a circular outer shape (capable of including a true circular outer shape, an elliptical outer shape, and so on). The outer shape of the barmain body 10a is not limited to a circular shape. The diameter (outer diameter) of the barmain body 10a is, for example, 38 mm. In the present embodiment, the barmain body 10a is a hollow member. The barmain body 10a has a hollow portion through which thesupport body 10b passes. Preferably, the barmain body 10a has elasticity and flexibility. Polyethylene foam can be used as the material of the barmain body 10a. - The
support body 10b supports the barmain body 10a. In the present embodiment, thesupport body 10b is a belt-shaped tape. Polypropylene or the like can be used as the material of thesupport body 10b. Thesupport body 10b passes through the hollow portion (inside) of the barmain body 10a. One end portion of thesupport body 10b is fixed to themain body 3. Specifically, one end portion of thesupport body 10b is fixed to one edge (edge on the left side inFIG. 3 ) side in the width direction in a substantially middle portion of themain body 3 in the longitudinal direction thereof. Thefirst engagement portion 10c is attached to the other end portion of thesupport body 10b. - The
first engagement portion 10c and thesecond engagement portion 10d constitute a buckle. Thefirst engagement portion 10c is attached to the other end portion of thesupport body 10b. Thesecond engagement portion 10d is fixed to themain body 3 via, for example, a tape. Specifically, thesecond engagement portion 10d is fixed to the other edge (edge on the right side inFIG. 3 ) side in the width direction in a substantially middle portion of themain body 3 in the longitudinal direction thereof. In other words, thesecond engagement portion 10d is fixed on the same straight line in the width direction of themain body 3 as the position in which one end portion of thesupport body 10b is fixed to themain body 3. As a result, theroll bar 10 is positioned to extend in the width direction of themain body 3 when thefirst engagement portion 10c and thesecond engagement portion 10d engage with each other. - The
first member 5 is a member that can be used when tops among the clothes are accommodated. Examples of the tops include a shirt and a cut-and-sew garment as well as the jacket J. Thefirst member 5 is a plate material. As illustrated inFIG. 4(a) , thefirst member 5 has a shape along shoulder portions Ja and Jb of the jacket J. Specifically, thefirst member 5 hascurved portions - The
first member 5 has, for example, a width W1 (maximum width) of 460 mm and a length L1 of 400 mm. The thickness of thefirst member 5 may be appropriately set, examples of which include approximately 10 mm. Thefirst member 5 is formed of a rigid and flexible material. In addition, it is preferable that the surface of thefirst member 5 has a large frictional resistance. Examples of the material of thefirst member 5 include urethane foam. Thefirst member 5 is capable of following a deflection or the like of themain body 3 by having rigidity and flexibility. In addition, clothes are unlikely to slide against thefirst member 5 since the surface of thefirst member 5 has a large frictional resistance. - The
second member 7 is a member that can be used when bottoms among the clothes are accommodated. The bottoms include a skirt as well as the pants P. Thesecond member 7 is a plate material. Thesecond member 7 has a rectangular shape. Thesecond member 7 has, for example, a width W2 of 300 mm and a length L2 of 300 mm. The thickness of thesecond member 7 may be appropriately set, examples of which include approximately 10 mm. Thesecond member 7 is formed of a rigid and flexible material. In addition, it is preferable that the surface of thesecond member 7 has a large frictional resistance. Examples of the material of thesecond member 7 include urethane foam. Thesecond member 7 is capable of following a deflection or the like of themain body 3 by having rigidity and flexibility. In addition, clothes are unlikely to slide against thesecond member 7 since the surface of thesecond member 7 has a large frictional resistance. - How to use the
garment case 1 configured as described above will be described in detail below. In the following description, a form in which the jacket J and the pants P as clothes are accommodated in thegarment case 1 will be described as an example. - Initially, the
first member 5 is disposed in the jacket J as illustrated inFIGS. 6 and7 . The disposition of thefirst member 5 in the jacket J may or may not be performed on themain body 3. Thefirst member 5 is disposed in the jacket J such that thecurved portions first member 5 are positioned in the shoulder portions Ja and Jb of the jacket J. Next, the jacket J is disposed in themain body 3 as illustrated inFIG. 9 with the buttons of the jacket J closed and the sleeves positioned on the front side as illustrated inFIG. 8 . Specifically, the jacket J is disposed between themain body 3 and thelinings first engagement portion 10c and thesecond engagement portion 10d of theroll bar 10 released and theroll bar 10 withdrawn from above themain body 3. The jacket J is disposed in themain body 3 such that thefirst member 5 is positioned on the side where thelinings - Next, the
roll bar 10 is moved onto the jacket J as illustrated inFIG. 10 and thefirst engagement portion 10c and thesecond engagement portion 10d of theroll bar 10 are engaged with each other as illustrated inFIG. 11 . As a result, theroll bar 10 is fixed. - Next, the pants P are disposed between the jacket J and the
roll bar 10 as illustrated inFIG. 12 . The pants P may be positioned between the jacket J and theroll bar 10 by being disposed on the jacket J before theroll bar 10 is fixed. In other words, engagement between thefirst engagement portion 10c and thesecond engagement portion 10d of theroll bar 10 may be performed after the pants P are disposed on the jacket J. - Next, the pants P are folded around the
roll bar 10 as illustrated inFIG. 13 . At this time, the pants P are folded such that, for example, the hem parts of the pants P protrude from the upper side of the main body 3 (side where thelinings second member 7 is disposed as illustrated inFIG. 14 . Specifically, thesecond member 7 is disposed on the folded pants P. As a result, thesecond member 7 is disposed in a position overlapping thefirst member 5. - Then, the pants P are folded back, as illustrated in
FIG. 5 , such that the hem parts of the pants P protruding beyond thesecond member 7 are on thesecond member 7. Subsequently, thefastener 3d is closed after thelinings FIG. 2 . As a result, the jacket J and the pants P are accommodated in thegarment case 1 as illustrated inFIGS. 1(a) and 1(b) . - In the above-described form, a form has been exemplified in which the
first member 5 and thesecond member 7 are used during accommodation of both the jacket J and the pants P in thegarment case 1. Thefirst member 5 and thesecond member 7 may also be used in a case where only one of the jacket J and the pants P is accommodated. Thesecond member 7 may be disposed on the jacket J in a case where, for example, only the jacket J is accommodated. Thefirst member 5 may be disposed beneath the pants P in a case where, for example, only the pants P are accommodated. Even in a case where any one of the clothes is accommodated, the clothes are pressed by thefirst member 5 and thesecond member 7 disposed in themain body 3 by thefirst member 5 and thesecond member 7 being disposed, and thus the clothes are unlikely to be misaligned. As a result, creasing of the clothes can be suppressed. - The form in which the pants P are accommodated is not limited to the above-described form. As illustrated in
FIG. 15 , the pants P are disposed on the jacket J, and then thesecond member 7 is disposed on the pants P (in a position overlapping the first member 5). Next, the pants P are folded around theroll bar 10 as illustrated inFIG. 16 . At this time, the pants P are folded such that, for example, the hem parts of the pants P protrude from the upper side of the main body 3 (side where thelinings FIG. 17 , such that the hem parts of the pants P are disposed between thesecond member 7 and the pants P. - As described above, in the
garment case 1 according to the present embodiment, theroll bar 10 is attached to themain body 3. Theroll bar 10 is disposed in the position in which themain body 3 is folded and extends in the direction in which the folded part extends. In this configuration, clothes are folded across theroll bar 10 in the position in which themain body 3 is folded. As a result, the clothes are folded along theroll bar 10, and thus no crease is likely to occur in the clothes. In addition, theroll bar 10 is attached to themain body 3, and thus undergoes no positional misalignment when thegarment case 1 is carried. As a result, misalignment of clothes in themain body 3 can be suppressed and creasing attributable to misalignment can be suppressed. Accordingly, creasing of clothes can be suppressed with thegarment case 1. - In the
garment case 1 according to the present embodiment, theroll bar 10 has thefirst engagement portion 10c and thesecond engagement portion 10d. Thefirst engagement portion 10c and thesecond engagement portion 10d constitute the buckle. Thefirst engagement portion 10c is connected to thesupport body 10b supporting the barmain body 10a, and thesecond engagement portion 10d is fixed to themain body 3. As a result of this configuration, theroll bar 10 becomes removable from themain body 3 by engagement between thefirst engagement portion 10c and thesecond engagement portion 10d being released. As a result, theroll bar 10 can be withdrawn to a non-hindering position when clothes are accommodated in themain body 3, and thus clothes can be easily accommodated in themain body 3. - The
garment case 1 according to the present embodiment is provided with the plate-shapedfirst member 5, which can be used during accommodation of the jacket J (tops) among the clothes. Thefirst member 5 is covered with the tops to be positioned at the part of the jacket J that includes the shoulder portions Ja and Jb and disposed in themain body 3. In this configuration, the shape of the part of the jacket J including the shoulder portions Ja and Jb is retained by thefirst member 5. Accordingly, biasing or the like of clothes in themain body 3 attributable to, for example, vibration and/or impact can be suppressed. As a result, creasing of clothes can be further suppressed. - The
garment case 1 according to the present embodiment is provided with the plate-shapedsecond member 7, which can be used during accommodation of the pants P (bottoms) among the clothes. Thesecond member 7 is disposed in themain body 3 to be positioned on the bottoms folded via theroll bar 10. In this configuration, the pants P are pressed and held by thesecond member 7 in themain body 3. Accordingly, biasing or the like of clothes in themain body 3 attributable to, for example, vibration and/or impact can be suppressed. As a result, creasing of clothes can be further suppressed. Especially in thegarment case 1 according to the present embodiment, thefirst member 5 and thesecond member 7 are disposed in an overlapping manner, and thus clothes are sandwiched by thefirst member 5 and thesecond member 7. Accordingly, creasing of clothes can be further suppressed with thegarment case 1. - In the
garment case 1 according to the present embodiment, theroll bar 10 is disposed in a position corresponding to thegusset 3c, which is a part where themain body 3 is folded. In thegarment case 1, thegusset 3c is provided with thehandle 4. In this configuration, rigidity is ensured at thegusset 3c part as a result of cooperation with theroll bar 10. Accordingly, a deflection of thegusset 3c part can be suppressed when thegarment case 1 is held with thehandle 4 grasped. As a result, the portability of thegarment case 1 can be improved. - A garment case according to a second embodiment will be described below with reference to
