Description

  TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a self-supporting holder for a storage bag that can hold a storage bag of a soft product or the like in a large open state while being able to stably stand on its own.

In general, a storage bag made of a soft material such as a cloth or a resin film is thin and not bulky, and is therefore used for a wide variety of applications.
For example, in civil engineering and construction sites, glass bags are used for disposal of waste materials generated during construction and construction. This glass bag is made of thick woven fabric made of resin string and thin tape, but is flexible, so it cannot stand upright and keep the top opening wide open. Must be held by the operator.

  Therefore, when disposing of waste materials made of metal, wood, concrete, etc. generated in construction, construction sites, etc. in a glass bag, the waste material should be opened with one hand while the worker opens the opening with one hand. Is stored in a glass bag and transported to a predetermined disposal site for disposal.

In superstores and convenience stores, plastic bags are used to store purchased products.
For example, in a super store, when a product is purchased and taken home, a shopper carries the purchased product to a cashier counter, and the cashier enters the price of the product into a cashier and settles it, and gives a plastic bag. Shoppers have to carry the purchased items to a counter table in the corner of the store and place them in a plastic bag. In addition, after the cashier pays the merchandise, the merchandise may be stored in a plastic bag and handed to the shopper.
Furthermore, at the convenience store, when the cashier inputs the price of the product into the cashier and settles it, the plastic bag is opened with one hand and the product is stored with the other hand and delivered to the shopper.

  When storing civil engineering and building waste in the bag, the worker opens the bag with the glass bag in one hand and holds the civil engineering and building waste in the other hand. Is extremely bad, and the waste material is relatively heavy, requiring labor with one hand. In addition, since the bag is made of knitted resin strings and tape, it is caught when storing the waste material, creating a large space inside, and it can only store waste material less than the internal volume, or it is woven The string material may come into contact with the edge of the waste material and be cut or damaged.

In addition, when cashiers store goods purchased by shoppers in plastic bags at supermarkets and convenience stores, cashiers and counter tables, the plastic bag can be opened with one hand and packed with the other hand to save time. Not only that, but the merchandise may be damaged or damaged, and it will make the subsequent shopper wait.
In addition, at the super store, the shopper who receives the goods and the plastic bag settled at the cash register is troublesome because he / she carries it to the counter table for storing work provided in the corner of the store, and a counter table is provided in the store. Space is needed.

  The present invention has been proposed in order to solve the above-described problems, and allows a storage bag made of a soft material such as a cloth or a resin film to stably stand independently while maintaining a large open state. In addition, the present invention provides a self-supporting holder for a storage bag that can be quickly packed with both hands.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the invention according to claim 1 can be converted from a developing first state in a sheet shape or a semi-rolled shape to a second state wound in a cylindrical shape, In addition, the second state to the first state are made of a sheet material having a restoring property that is restored by a restoring force, and is expanded by the restoring property when mounted in the second state inside the soft storage bag. A self-supporting holder for a storage bag, which is capable of self-supporting while holding the upper end of the storage bag in an open state by pressing a portion of the side bag and overlapping part of both side ends.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, the sheet material is self-supporting of the storage bag according to claim 1, wherein the sheet material has a width that is longer than the entire length of the inner peripheral surface of the storage bag and a height that is substantially equal to the height of the storage bag. It is a tool.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, the storage bag according to claim 1 or 2, wherein engagement means for holding the wound second state is provided at both end portions of the sheet material. It is a tool.

  According to the self-supporting holder of the storage bag of the present invention, the storage bag made of a soft material such as a cloth or a resin film can be made self-supporting while maintaining a large open state. The product can be packed in a very simple manner in a short time, and the product can be handled carefully with both hands, so that it is not damaged or broken.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1A is a perspective view of a first example of the first state of the self-supporting holder of the storage bag according to the present invention, and FIG. 1B is a first view of the first state of the self-supporting holder of the storage bag according to the present invention. FIG. 2A is a schematic diagram for explaining how to use the self-supporting holder for the storage bag, and FIG. 2B is a perspective view of the second state of the self-supporting tool for the storage bag.

In FIGS. 1A and 1B, a self-supporting holder 10 for a storage bag is constituted by a sheet material 11. And in the normal 1st state which is not used, the said sheet | seat material 11 is the flat sheet form developed as shown to Fig.1 (a), or both sides as shown in FIG.1 (b). It is a semi-rolled shape formed so as to be wound to such an extent that the end portions do not overlap.
The sheet material 11 can be changed from any one of the two first states that are not used to a second state in which the sheet material 11 is rolled by hand during use and wound into a cylindrical shape with both side ends sufficiently overlapping. When the hand is released in the second state, it has a characteristic of returning to the first state with a restoring force, and is molded from polycarbonate or other material having a restoring property.

The sheet material 11 is rolled up to the second state and mounted on the storage bag 20 for use, and the lateral width of the sheet material 11 is longer than the total length of the inner peripheral surface of the storage bag 20 and is high. Is substantially equal to the height of the storage bag 20.
A plurality of handle holes 12 are formed at appropriate intervals along the upper edge of the sheet material 11, and engagement holes 15 are provided at one end 13 at both ends, and the other side. The end portion 14 is provided with a tongue piece 16 that can be engaged with the engagement hole 15.
In addition, since the sheet | seat material 11 can be piled up if it is an unfolded state in a 1st state, it is advantageous to the stock at the time of a preservation | save or use, and can be piled up if it is a semi-rolled state, and it rolls by hand It is easy to operate in the two states and can be processed quickly.

FIG. 2 shows a case of a glass bag as the storage bag 20 using the self-supporting holding tool 10, and the glass bag is formed by a thick woven fabric knitted with a resin string or thin tape, At the construction site, it is used for disposal of various waste materials generated during work.
When the self-supporting holder 10 of the present invention is used for the glass bag, the second state in which the sheet material 11 in the first state is rolled by hand and wound into a narrow cylindrical shape, and the side end portions 13 and 14 are sufficiently overlapped. Then, it is inserted through the opening 21 at the upper end of the glass bag (FIG. 2 (a)), and is fully attached to the inside.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2B, the sheet material 11 is expanded from the inside so that the inner volume is maximized by returning from the inner side to return to the first state by the restoring force inside the bag bag. For this reason, the opening 21 at the upper end of the glass bag can be opened to the maximum, and the sheet material 11 can stably stand on its own. In particular, the sheet material 11 has a width that is slightly longer than the entire length of the inner peripheral surface of the glass bag (about 10 cm), and a height that is substantially equal to or slightly shorter than the height of the glass bag (about 5 cm). Therefore, when fully restored in the inside of the bag, a part of both side end portions 13 and 14 are superposed and the entire length of the bag is extended, so that it can be held extremely stably and independently.
For this reason, when the waste material of civil engineering construction is stored in the inside of the glass bag, the worker can hold the waste material of the civil engineering construction site etc. with both hands and can put it into the opening 21 of the glass bag, and the waste material to be charged is a sheet. Since it slides on the inner surface of the material 11 and falls down to the bottom without difficulty, it overlaps in sequence, so that it does not get caught in the middle or damage the glass bag. Moreover, since waste materials do not overlap or mix in the interior of the bag, no wasted space is generated.

  When the self-supporting holder 10 is mounted inside the bag, the sheet material 11 in the first state is wound by hand to the second state, and the tongue piece 16 is locked in the engagement hole 15. If assembled in a cylindrical shape, the operator can easily put it in the storage bag 20 while holding the sheet material 11 in the first state with one hand. Further, the worker may release the engagement between the engagement hole 15 and the tongue piece 16 after the sheet material 11 is mounted in the bag bag 20. By doing so, the self-supporting holder 10 tries to return from the second state to the first state due to its resilience, presses the storage bag 20 from the inside to sufficiently expand, and stabilizes and supports itself in an open state. be able to.

When the waste bag or the like is sufficiently filled with both hands inside the glass bag in this state, the finger is put on the handle hole 12 and the frictional resistance force between the inner surface of the glass bag and the sheet material 11 due to the return restoring force of the sheet material 11. The sheet material 11 can be removed from the glass bag by pulling the glass bag upward while resisting the above. And if the sheet | seat material 11 is removed from a glass bag, if the opening part 21 is bound with a string etc. and is obstruct | occluded, it can convey as it is and can be discarded.
Therefore, it is only necessary to prepare several sheets 11 of the first state at a construction site or the like.

FIG. 3 shows the case of a plastic bag for storing goods used in a super store or a convenience store as the storage bag 20 using the self-supporting holder 10, and in the first state as in FIG. The sheet material 11 is wound by hand into the second state, and is attached to the plastic bag as it is or, if necessary, with the tongue piece 16 locked in the engagement hole 15 and maintained in a cylindrical shape. Then, when the hand is released from the sheet material 11 in the second state or the tongue piece 16 is removed from the engagement hole 15, the sheet material 11 can inflate the plastic bag to the maximum by the restoring force.
Since the sheet material 11 is wider than the entire length of the inner surface of the plastic bag and the height is almost equal to the height of the plastic bag, the sheet material 11 is widely opened and held so as to be extremely stable and self-supporting when the plastic bag is fully expanded. can do.

When a cashier uses a self-supporting holder 10 to store a product purchased by a shopper in a plastic bag at a cash register at a super store or a convenience store, the cashier attaches the sheet material 11 in the first state in the plastic bag. Then, the plastic bag that has been restored and expanded and self-supported is placed on the cashier counter, the settled product is stored with both hands, and after the product is stored, the sheet material 11 is extracted and handed to the shopper.
Therefore, since the cashier can store the product in the plastic bag with both hands, the cashier can process the product very quickly and without damaging or damaging the product.

Also, if the cashier pays the merchandise, the plastic bag, and the sheet material 11 to the shopper, the shopper can set the sheet material 11 in the first state to the second state on the spot or at a table away from the cash register. When you put it in the bag and release it to restore it, it will expand and become self-supporting, so after filling the purchased product in the plastic bag as it is, pull out the sheet material 11 and return it to the cash register, Just take the plastic bag home.
In any case, it is only necessary to prepare several sheets of the sheet material 11 at the register counter of each store. When the cashier uses the sheet material 11 to store the product in a plastic bag and hands it to the shopper, there is no need to install a counter table for storing work in the store, so there is no need for a space around the cash register. Can effectively use the sales floor.

FIG. 4 shows a stock case 30 stocked when the self-supporting holder 10 is not in use or just before use, and the stock case 30 is a tapered tube whose diameter slightly decreases from the upper end to the lower end. The lower end may be open or closed.
The stock case 30 is fitted by opening a circular through hole in a cashier counter, placing the product purchased by a shopper on a table packed in a plastic bag, or forming a through hole in the table.
If a plurality of sheets 11 in the first state are stored in the stock case 30, a cashier or a shopper can take out and use one sheet. Further, when the use of the sheet material 11 is finished, the sheet material 11 may be loosely rolled and stored in the stock case 30.

  Although the present invention has been described based on the embodiments of the drawings, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various designs can be made without departing from the present invention described in the claims. Needless to say, it can be changed and is not limited to the above-described embodiment. For example, the sheet material is an unfolded sheet-like or semi-rolled sheet-like rectangular sheet that is restorable when converted from a first state to a second state in which a part of both side ends overlap. Any material can be used. Further, the height and width of the sheet material can be set in accordance with the dimensions of the storage bag.
