Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to a foldable, self-opening bag, having an outer pocket and at least one first, pocket-like storage compartment which is arranged in the outer pocket and which is enclosed at least at the bottom and also in a lateral direction by a foldable and collapsible sheathing and which has an upper filling opening.
  • Foldable self-opening bags as mentioned above are commonly known to the skilled persons.
  • the well-known foldable shopping bags have a bag body which can be folded in crosswise and lengthwise direction by multiple folds.
  • One such shopping bag is known from the KR 20 150 058 765 A .
  • the shopping bag can be easily folded like a classical paper or plastic bag, it has the disadvantage that it is not visually attractive, and that the sheathing, which is intended to hold the goods, is not protected when folded.
  • CN 204 682 796 U describes a foldable storage box with several compartments that open automatically when the box is folded.
  • This storage box is complex to install and is not ideal for spontaneous transport purposes, e.g. for stowing and carrying purchases in the supermarket.
  • a foldable bag which is automatically opened by spring force after releasing a retention lock.
  • this bag has the disadvantage that the cover, which provides the storage compartment for the goods after folding the bag, is not protected in an inner pocket when folded.
  • a further object of the invention is to create a foldable bag which has additional functions; in particular, if the functional variety is as large as possible, it has additional compartments for receiving different goods.
  • a bag wherein the outer pocket comprises at least two partial pocket parts which can be folded apart in an opening direction and folded towards each other in a closing direction and which are firmly or detachably connected to each other, wherein erecting means are provided, which are arranged and set up in such a way that when the two partial pocket parts of the outer pocket are folded apart in the opening direction, the first storage compartment is self-acting moved from a collapsed position into a ready-to-receive set-up position by raising the collapsible sheathing.
  • the invention now provides a visually attractive bag that is particularly easy to store when folded and can be easily transformed into a position in which it can be used to hold goods.
  • the outer pocket is opened, whereby the opening of the outer pocket releases the erecting means, which then automatically erect the first storage compartment, so that goods can be placed and transported in it.
  • the outer pocket can be designed in such a way that, when folded, all internal parts of the bag are accommodated in the outer pocket and are thus protected against dirt, bacteria and moisture.
  • the material of the outer pocket may have further advantageous properties; in particular it may be water-repellent or waterproof. Padding may also be provided so that, if desired, the bag can also be used as a seat cushion when folded. If the bag is in the use position and especially fragile goods are transported in the bag, a padded outer pocket, which forms the bottom of the bag after unfolding, can prevent damage to the goods when the bag is placed on a hard surface by cushioning over the padding.
  • the bag is preferably designed in such a way that when folded, the outer pocket encapsulates all other areas of the bag. This can be achieved a outer pocket having two partial pocket parts and by folding over the two partial pocket parts, which are connected to each other by an elastic or hinged section. By folding the partial pockets all other functional components of the bag which are permanently or detachably connected to the inside of the partial pocket parts will be enclosed by the outer shell provided by the outer pocket. In this way all functional parts of the bag are effectively stowed and protected inside the shell.
  • the outer pocket consists of two partial pocket parts which have an identical shape and are joined flexible together in a hinge-like manner.
  • the partial pocket parts can be made of foil, fabric or of a similar material. In this case they can also be made of a flat sheet of film or fabric without the need for an explicit side wall.
  • pocket parts are made of flat material, it is possible to make both pocket parts from a common cut of the film or fabric, for example in a shape like the Number "8", so that the connection area from one partial pocket part to the other partial pocket part can then form the hinge-like connection of the two pocket parts.
  • the pocket parts can also be made of a harder, dimensionally stable material.
  • a cup-like design of the pocket parts is appropriate, which can then be connected to each other via separate joints.
  • the partial pocket parts can also be made of plastic and manufactured together as an injection-moulded part wherein the partial pocket parts are connected to each other by a film hinge.
  • the advantage of this design may be that the pocket parts, which form the bottom after the pocket has been opened, can offer comparatively high protection against impacts from below.
  • the material used for these partial pocket parts may have the necessary elasticity to protect the goods from impact and, on the other hand, to prevent the partial pocket parts from breaking under impact.
  • the area of the partial pockets can be provided with an appropriate coating or reinforcement.
  • elastic baffle plates that are glued or otherwise connected to the material of the outer pocket are a suitable solution.
  • the storge compartment is limited by a sheathing establishing an elastic wall, which is connected to the inside of the outer pocket in the lower area.
  • the sheathing can be circular, oval or square.
  • the automatic erection of the wrapping can be realized for example by means of erecting means in the form of spring means.
  • spring means for example, one or more helical coil springs can be incorporated into the material of the sheathing or attached to its inner side or to its outside.
  • the spring means can also be formed by an elastic wall sections, i.e. by the sheathing itself.
  • the bottom of the first storage compartment may be formed by the inner side of the outer pocket, in particular by the inner side of one of the two partial pockets. In this case the lower edge of the sheathing is firmly or detachably connected to the inner side.
  • the first storage compartment may also have its own bottom, so that it forms a separate pocket in its own right. In this case, the bottom of the first storage compartment may be releasably or permanently bonded to the inside of the outer pocket.
  • a detachable connection of the bottom of the first storage compartment with the outer pocket has the advantage that the first storage compartment can be removed as an independent pocket.
  • Such a detachable connection can be made, among many other possibilities, for example by means of a Velcro or a zipper.
  • a firm connection can be realized by a seam.
  • the first storage compartment can also be part of the outer pocket, i.e. be made in one piece with the outer pocket, for example by means of a weaving process.
  • a very useful embodiment of the invention can be achieved if, in addition to the first storage compartment with a second storage compartment, at least one further storage compartment is provided. This may, but is not necessarily, identical in form and function to the first storage compartment. If the shape is identical, for example, the first storage compartment can be attached to one of the two partial pocket parts, while the second storage compartment is then arranged on the other partial pocket part.
  • both storage compartments will automatically lift up, as both are provided with their own erecting means.
  • an active storage compartment and a passive storage compartment may also be provided, whereby the active storage compartment then is provided with an erecting means, while the passive storage compartment is connected with its upper edge to the upper edge of the active storage compartment via a mechanical connection. This will then cause the active storage compartment to pull up the passive storage compartment.
  • a configuration can be realized in which the erecting means is implemented as an independent component so that both the first storage compartment and the second storage compartment can be designed as passive storage compartment in the meaning as mentioned above. In this case they may be connected to the erecting means via the said connecting means.
  • the storage compartments can also be connected to one another centrally.
  • This additional side wall can be fixed or detachably connected to the outer surface of the sheathings of the storage compartments. In the lower area, it can either have its own bottom segment, which in turn can be connected to the outer pocket, or it can be directly connected to the outer pocket via Velcro fastenings or zippers.
  • an essentially straight side wall which is laterally adjacent to the first storage compartment can define additional storage compartments between the sheathings and the inner side of the side walls on both sides of the bag, whereby the underside of these additional storage compartments should then of course be closed by the bottom as described above or by a connection of the side walls with the outer pocket.
  • the side walls can also be used as advertising space if the bag according to the invention is to be given to customers as a promotional item.
  • carrying sleeves can be provided which are connected to the bag.
  • These may, for example, be two straps running from the upper edge of the sheathing of the first storage compartment to the upper edge of the sheathing of the second storage compartment, which can be gripped with a hand in the manner of a loop.
  • the carrying loops are attached adjacent to the upper edge, so that the bag may be carried hanging down from the user's hand.
  • straps can of course be attached to the top and bottom of the bag in the manner of a backpack.
  • the retaining straps can be detachably connected to the respective components.
  • At least one of the above-mentioned straps also protrudes from the folded outer pocket in the form of a loop, so that the folded bag can be hold with this loop.
  • Fig. 1 shows a bag in the folded, closed state according to the invention.
  • the outer pocket 1 consists here of two partial pocket parts which are folded over each other and are connected to each other in the lower section via a fastener as fastening means 3.
  • the pocket parts are here part of a common piece, which consists of an elastic fabric or a similar material. In the upper area, this fabric is folded over to form the two pocket parts lying on top of each other, so that an interior space is created in the manner of a shell, in which the other functional components of the bag according to the invention are located.
  • Two carrying loops protrude laterally from the closed outer pocket, through which the bag according to the invention can also be held in the closed state or hung on a hook.
  • the user In order to prepare the bag for later use, the user first loosens the fastening means 3, which are shown here as a snap fastener. Of course, all other types of fasteners, especially zippers or Velcro fasteners can also be considered. After the user has released the fastening means 3, the bag, as defined in the invention, automatically straightens up, whereby the final state of this straightening or erection is shown in Figure 2 in a three-dimensional depiction.
  • the opened outer pocket 1 is located at the lower area of the unfolded bag.
  • the outer pocket 1 now serves as a bottom of the bag.
  • the two partial parts of the outer pocket - still lying on top of each other in Figure 1 - are now next to each other, with a storage compartment 4, 5 extending upwards from each of the two partial pocket parts.
  • On the inner side of the right partial pocket part a first storage compartment 4 is arranged, which here has a bottom part at its lower edge (not visible in Figure 2 ).
  • the left partial pocket part is provided with a second storage compartment 5.
  • the two storage compartments 4, 5 are shown here in the form of cylindrical containers, whereby of course a more bag-like compartment will actually be present due to the textile or flexible nature of the sheathing material.
  • a helical spring is provided as an erecting means 6, winding around the inner volume of the storage compartments 4, 5. The function of this spring is that after loosening the closure means 3 and opening the outer pocket 1 (see Fig. 1 ) the sheathings of the storage compartments 4, 5 are automatically lifted. The exact function of this automatic setting up will be described in detail in connection with the Figures 5a to 5f and Figures 6a to 6f below.
  • the two sheathings of the storage compartments 4, 5 each have a wall section in the middle, extending towards each other and connected to each other by a fixed or detachable connection.
  • Side walls 9 are attached to the cylindrical sheathings in the front and rear sections.
  • the side walls 9 define a closed chamber between the sheathings, which is closed in the lower area either by the outer pocket or by a connection of the side walls with the sheathings or the outer pocket.
  • the wall areas in the middle between the covers divide this chamber again into two additional storage compartments 7, 8.
  • an additional, third storage compartment 7 is thereby provided in the central front area, while a fourth storage compartment 7 is provided in the rear area of the bag of the invention.
  • the individual components may be connected der to each other by means of fixed or detachable joints.
  • the side walls 9 may be sewn to the envelopes of the storage compartments 4, 5, so that a firm structure of the bag according to the invention is obtained.
  • the connections can also be detachable. This makes it possible, for example, to completely take a storage compartment 4 or 5 away from the bag in order to use it as a separate means of transport or storage. Such a removed, independent container is shown schematically in Figure 4 .
  • the side walls 9 can only cover the front and rear areas of the bag.
  • these side walls can also be designed as a circumferential wall so that they wrap around the complete pick-up areas 4, 5.
  • further subdivision possibilities can be provided, which are either firmly sewn or can be created using detachable connections if necessary.
  • Figures 5a to 5f and Figures 6a to 6f the unfolding and erecting of the bag according to the invention is shown in detail and in individual steps.
  • Figures 5a to 5f show the bag in a side view (schematized), while Figures 6a to 6f show the respective positions from Figures 5a to 5f in a top view.
  • the outer pocket 1 forms a closed shell which is held together by the fastening means 3.
  • the sheathings which will later form the first storage compartment 4 and the second storage compartment 5, are stored together.
  • the fastening means are solved in Figure 5b/6b .
  • the shell swings open in an opening direction R, whereby here only the second storage compartment 5 is shown in Figure 5c for better illustration of the function.
  • Figures 5d/6d and 5e/6e show the final state in which the two sheathings were completely erected by the erecting means 6 in form of helical coil springs, so that the two storage compartments 4, 5 were built up.
  • Figures 5 and 6 are the additional storage compartments formed by the third storage compartment 7 and the fourth storage compartment 8 and the carrying loop 2 for holding the bag of the invention.
