Description

  The present invention relates to a case for storing a tool used in calligraphy, in which a stored item can be easily taken in and out.

  A set of utensils, paperweights, ink, semi-paper and brushes used in calligraphy are convenient to carry in a case called a calligraphy case or calligraphy bag, especially among elementary and junior high school students. Cases are commonly used. In calligraphy bags used by elementary and junior high school students, fasteners are often provided over a long distance so that tools can be easily taken out. For example, extending the fastener lane from the case main body in order to enlarge the opening is not limited to the calligraphy case, and is widely performed. Further, in a calligraphy bag consisting of a front surface portion, a rear surface portion, an upper surface portion, a heel portion and a bottom portion, the fastener portion extends long over the entire upper surface portion, the entire heel portion and a part of the bottom portion, like a travel trunk, What is configured to be able to open the front part and the rear part 180 degrees is already known. A calligraphy case is also known in which a lid portion extending from the upper surface portion to the front surface portion is provided, and the opening / closing portion of the lid portion is used as a one-touch opening / closing hook for easy opening / closing.

  To store calligraphy tools in a calligraphy bag that can be opened 180 degrees on the front and back, open the zipper completely, open the front and back on a desk etc. After putting the tool into the part from above, it is necessary to fix the tool with a belt or a lid. Therefore, it is necessary to secure a relatively large space when storing tools in this type of calligraphy case. In addition, when young children use this type of calligraphy case, it may be troublesome to fix the stored tool with a belt or the like. The calligraphy case provided with a lid that can be opened and closed with a one-touch opening and closing hook, the size of the opening formed when the lid is opened is formed by the front edge, the rear surface, and the upper edge of the collar, It is an elongated quadrangular shape, and it is not always easy to put in and out calligraphy tools. In addition, the lid part may create a gap between the collar part and the front part, and if such a gap is formed, there is a risk that the stored tool may jump out. Further, the case having the lid portion becomes large as a whole and cannot be denied. Similarly, in a calligraphy case in which the fastener lane extends from the case body, a gap is likely to be generated between the fastener lane and the case body.

  The present invention has been made in view of these circumstances, the opening and closing portion is formed of a fastener provided on the case body, and when the opening and closing portion is opened, a large opening that allows easy entry and exit of calligraphy tools is provided, In addition, the purpose is to provide a calligraphy case that does not require so much space when putting in and out calligraphy tools.

The present invention is a calligraphy case having a front surface portion, a rear surface portion, an upper surface portion, a bottom portion, and a pair of collar portions, which can be opened and closed by a fastener portion,
The fastener portion has a substantially “U” shape, extends from an intermediate position of one side edge of the front surface portion through one collar portion, and between both side edges of the upper surface portion or the rear surface portion, and the other Through the heel part to the middle position of the other side edge of the front part, and the fastener part is inclined obliquely upward from the side edge of the front part in both heel parts,
The front surface has a bent portion, and when the fastener portion is opened, a portion above the bent portion (hereinafter referred to as “front upper portion”) is folded outward.
Provide a calligraphy case.

  In this calligraphy case, the fastener portion extends obliquely in both flanges, and the front surface has a bent portion, and when the fastener portion is opened, the portion above the bent portion on the front surface is folded outward. It is comprised as follows. Thereby, when the fastener portion is opened, both the upper part of the front surface of the case and a part or all of the upper surface thereof are tilted forward to give a large opening. Also, by configuring the fastener portion in this way, it is not necessary to extend the fastener lane from the case body in order to make a large opening, and the overall appearance is neat. Because there is no gap, it is difficult to form a gap.

  The fastener portion preferably extends substantially at the boundary between the rear surface portion and the upper surface portion. That is, the fastener portion extends from an intermediate position of one side edge of the front surface portion through one flange portion, at a substantially boundary portion between the rear surface portion and the upper surface portion, and further passes through the other flange portion to pass through the front surface portion. It is preferable to reach the middle position of the other side edge of the. When such a fastener portion is opened, the entire upper surface portion can be used as a storage portion by providing a pocket as described later.

  In the calligraphy case of the present invention, it is preferable that the front portion is formed by stitching a front upper portion and a front lower portion constituting a portion below the front upper portion, and the stitched portion becomes a bent portion. By using the front upper portion and the front lower portion as separate members, bending becomes easy, and an opening is more easily formed when the fastener portion is opened.

  The calligraphy case of the present invention further has a pocket that is attached to the inner surface of the collar portion, the front upper portion and / or the upper surface portion, and the opening portion opens toward the bottom when the fastener portion is closed, and the pocket opening portion It is preferable that an opening / closing part is provided in at least one place. Such a pocket makes it possible to effectively use the space in the upper part of the case as a storage space.

  In the calligraphy case of the present invention, it is preferable that the width of the upper surface portion is substantially the same as the width of the collar portion. By making the width of the upper surface portion substantially the same as the width of the collar portion, it is possible to increase the storage space at the top of the calligraphy case, it is possible to store more things, especially when providing the pocket A pocket having a large storage capacity can be formed.

  The calligraphy case of the present invention is characterized in that the fastener portion extends three-dimensionally along the case body, and the front portion has a bent portion, thereby providing a large opening when the fastener portion is opened. . With this feature, the calligraphy case of the present invention can be easily put in and out of the calligraphy tool, and has a relatively large storage space in the upper part of the case by widening the upper surface part. Further, even if a fastener lane extending from the case is not provided, a large opening can be formed only by extending the fastener only to the case body, and no gap is formed. Furthermore, when the calligraphy case of the present invention has a pocket attached to the inner surface of the collar, the front upper part and / or the upper part, the brush wound around the brush can be stored in this pocket, which is convenient. .

  An example of the calligraphy case of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an appearance of a calligraphy case of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a side view showing the appearance of the calligraphy case of the present invention. FIG. 3 is a rear view showing the appearance of the calligraphy case of the present invention. FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing a state where the fastener portion of the calligraphy case is opened and the upper front portion is folded outward.

  A calligraphy case 100 of the present invention shown in FIG. 1 has a front surface portion 12, a rear surface portion 14, an upper surface portion 16, a bottom portion 18, and a pair of flange portions 20. Hereinafter, the front surface portion 12, the rear surface portion 14, the upper surface portion 16, the bottom portion 18, and the pair of flange portions 20 are collectively referred to as a main body of a calligraphy case for convenience. The calligraphy case 100 has a handle 24, and further has two rings 26 on the rear surface portion 14 for attaching shoulder straps, as shown in FIG. The front surface portion 12 includes a front surface upper portion 12a and a front surface lower portion 12b, which are integrated by stitching, and the stitched portion becomes a bent portion 12c when the fastener portion is opened.

  The fastener portion 22 passes from the middle position of one side edge of the front surface portion 12, passes through one flange portion 20, and is a substantially boundary portion between the upper surface portion 16 and the rear surface portion 14, and both side edges of the upper surface portion (rear surface portion). Extending between. The fastener portion 22 further passes through the other flange portion 20 and reaches the intermediate position of the other side edge of the front surface portion 12. Here, the “intermediate position” refers to a portion excluding the upper end (that is, the boundary with the upper surface portion) and the lower end (that is, the boundary with the bottom portion) of the front surface portion. The “side edge” refers to a boundary between each surface portion (upper surface portion, front surface portion, rear surface portion) and the collar portion. As shown in the drawing, when the upper surface portion and the flange portion are integrally connected, the side edge of the upper surface portion indicates a line parallel to the width direction of the flange portion that defines a surface parallel to the bottom portion. Furthermore, “the fastener portion extends at a substantially boundary portion between the upper surface portion and the rear surface portion” means not only the form in which the fastener portion extends at the boundary between the upper surface portion and the rear surface portion, but also the boundary between the upper surface portion and the rear surface portion. It includes the form in which the fastener part is provided so that the distance from the fastener part (center) is less than 15 mm.

  The fastener portion 22 has a substantially “U” shape. When the case is viewed from the flange portion 20 (that is, in a side view), the upper surface portion 16 starts from an intermediate position of the side edge of the front surface portion 12. It extends diagonally upward toward. Therefore, the surface formed by the fastener portion 22 is inclined with respect to the bottom portion 18. The start point and end point of the fastener portion 22 are located slightly below the bent portion 12c, whereby the bent portion 12c is more easily bent, and the front upper portion 12a is more easily bent outward. Moreover, the fastener part 22 has two sliders and is configured to be openable and closable from either side.

  Depending on the shape of the main body of the calligraphy case 100, the fastener portion 22 does not have a “U” shape, and the boundary between the collar portion and the upper surface portion (or the rear surface portion) is curved, or the upper surface. Since the part and the collar part are integral, it can be a “C” -shaped. The present invention includes one having a fastener portion having such a shape as long as the fastener portion extends across both collars of the calligraphy case body and extends between both side edges of the upper surface portion or the rear surface portion. In this sense, “abbreviation” is used and the expression “substantially U-shaped” is used here.

  The start point and the end point of the fastener part 22 are located at substantially the same height from the bottom part. The height of the start point may be different from that of the end point. In this case, when the bent portion is parallel to the bottom surface, the front upper portion 12a may not be stably bent. It is preferable to do.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the lower half and the bottom portion 18 of the flange portion 20 are provided with another fastener portion 30 that passes through the approximate center of their width. When the fastener portion 30 is opened, the auxiliary collar portion and the bottom portion that are folded inward are expanded, and the width of the bottom portion 18 of the calligraphy case and the width of the lower half of the collar portion 20 are increased, thereby increasing the amount of storage. it can.

  The main body of the calligraphy case 100 can be configured using any sheet-like material selected from known woven fabrics, knitted fabrics, non-woven fabrics, plastic sheets or films. For example, the main body of the calligraphy case 100 may be formed of a dense fabric having a waterproof property made of nylon. Alternatively, a part of the main body of the calligraphy case 100 may be formed of a coarse woven fabric or a coarse knitted fabric having high air permeability. For example, the front upper portion 12a may be formed of a highly breathable mesh and the other portion may be formed of a nylon fabric. By appropriately selecting the material of the front upper portion 12a so as to be different from the material of the front lower portion 12b, the front upper portion 12a can be more easily broken outward. The handle 24 may be formed of the same sheet as the main body, or may be formed of a different sheet.

  A core material may be attached to the front surface portion 12, the rear surface portion 14, the upper surface portion 16 and / or the bottom portion 18 in order to enhance the shape retention of the case as necessary. The core material is, for example, a hard foam sheet. When attaching the core material, the core material may be disposed between the two woven fabrics so that the core material is not exposed. At this time, the two woven fabrics constitute an inner surface and an outer surface of the case. The inner surface and the outer surface may be formed of different fabrics. When attaching a core material to the front part 12, it is preferable to attach a core material only to the front lower part 12b. This is because the front upper portion 12a is easily folded outward.

  The size of the calligraphy case 100 is not particularly limited, and is selected so that a general set of calligraphy tools can be stored. For example, in the illustrated form, the front surface portion 12 and the rear surface portion 14 can have a rectangular shape with a length × width of about 24 cm × 33 cm to 26 cm × 35 cm, and the top surface 16 has a length × width of 5 cm × 33 cm to 6 cm. The bottom portion 18 can be a rectangle having a length of about 5 cm × 33 cm to 6 cm × 35 cm, and the width of the collar portion 20 is about 5 cm to 6 cm. it can.

  As shown in FIG. 4, when the calligraphy case 100 opens the fastener portion 22, the front upper portion 12 a is folded outward to give a large opening 50. From this opening 50, calligraphy tools can be easily put in and out. If necessary, the calligraphy case 100 may be put in and out of the calligraphy case 100 by placing the back of the calligraphy case 100 on a desk or the like. Since this calligraphy case 100 is formed by folding the front upper portion 12a outward to form an opening, it does not require a large space for taking in and out calligraphy tools, unlike the type that opens the front and rear surfaces by 180 degrees. .

  When the front upper portion 12a is enlarged, the opening 50 becomes larger. The front upper part 12a preferably occupies about 1/3 to 1/2 of the height (vertical dimension) of the front part. If the proportion of the front upper portion 12a is small, a sufficiently large opening cannot be formed. If the proportion of the front upper portion 12a is too large, the balance when the front upper portion 12a is folded outwards is deteriorated, and the case may fall down. The vertical dimension of the front upper portion 12a affects the inclination of the fastener portion located in the flange portion 20, and the larger the vertical dimension of the front upper portion 12a is, the more the inclination (the bottom portion and the fastener portion located in the flange portion becomes). The angle formed is generally large.

  The illustrated calligraphy case 100 further includes a pocket 40 attached along the fastener portion 22 on the inner surface of the collar portion 20 and the upper surface portion 16. The pocket 40 is used to take in and out the stored items by utilizing the fact that the opening opens upward or obliquely upward when the front upper portion 12a is folded outward. Here, “upper” is the direction when the bottom is the lower side. When the fastener portion 22 is closed, the opening of the pocket 40 opens toward the bottom, and what is stored in the pocket 40 falls off. Therefore, it is necessary to provide an opening / closing portion at least at one location of the opening of the pocket 40. . Here, a strip-like piece 42 to which a hook-and-loop fastener is attached is provided as an opening / closing part. Such a strip-like piece 42 is provided because, in the illustrated form, the pocket 40 is intended to store exclusively the brush wound around the brush winding, and it can be removed sufficiently with only one opening / closing part. By being able to prevent.

  The opening / closing part may be provided in more places as necessary. The opening / closing part is not limited to a hook-and-loop fastener, but may be a snap or a button, or a fastener may be provided over the entire opening.

  In the illustrated calligraphy case, the width of the upper surface portion 16 (the distance between the upper end of the front surface portion and the upper end of the rear surface portion) is substantially the same as the width dimension of the flange portion 20, and therefore substantially the same as the width of the bottom portion 18. It is. In the calligraphy case 100 of the present invention, the fastener portion 22 is provided so as to cross the collar portion diagonally from the side edge of the front surface, so that the pocket 40 has the entire width of the upper surface portion 16 at the bottom portion as shown in the figure. It can be a large amount of storage.

  The pocket 40 can also be configured using any sheet-like material selected from known woven fabrics, knitted fabrics, nonwoven fabrics, plastic sheets or films. The pocket 40 is preferably formed of a mesh. In the case where the pocket 40 is made of mesh and the front upper portion 12a is also made of mesh as described above, the inside of the pocket 40 has good air permeability, and even when the object stored in the pocket 40 is wet, However, it is difficult to stay in the case, and the occurrence of mold and the like is suppressed.

  In the above, one form of the calligraphy case of this invention was demonstrated. The calligraphy case of the present invention may be realized in other forms. For example, the fastener portion that crosses the collar portion in the oblique direction may extend on the upper surface portion. In that case, when providing a pocket, the dimension which can become a bottom part of a pocket is restricted to the position in which a fastener part exists (that is, the whole width | variety of an upper surface part cannot be utilized as a bottom part of a pocket part). Or the fastener part which cross | intersects a collar part in the diagonal direction may be extended between the both-sides edges of a rear surface part. In that case, when the fastener portion is opened, a part of the upper portion of the rear surface is folded outward together with the upper portion of the front surface. The position of the handle is not limited to the illustrated position, and may be provided on the upper surface. In particular, when the fastener portion is arranged so as to extend between both side edges of the rear surface, it is preferable to provide a handle on the upper surface portion so that the fastener portion can be smoothly opened and closed.

  Further, in the calligraphy case of the present invention, it is not always necessary to provide another fastener portion on the lower half and bottom portion of the collar portion. An example of a calligraphy case that does not have the other fastener portion on the collar portion and the bottom portion is shown in a perspective view in FIG. 5 and in a side view in FIG. The elements represented by the reference numerals shown in these drawings are the same as those described with reference to FIGS. In addition, other parts of the calligraphy case shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 (for example, dimensions, material, state when the fastener portion 22 is opened, etc.) have been described with reference to FIGS. Therefore, it is omitted here.

  The bent portion provided on the front surface portion may not be a stitched portion. For example, the front surface portion may be made of one sheet-like material, and a crease may be provided, which may be used as the bent portion. Alternatively, the number of core portions attached to the front surface portion may be two, and the core portion may not exist in the bent portion, so that the structure can be easily bent.

The pocket may be formed so as to have two or more storage portions by providing a partition. In addition, the opening position of the pocket is open toward the bottom when the fastener is closed, and the opening is upward or obliquely upward when the fastener is opened and the front upper part is folded outward. As long as it is provided as follows, there is no particular limitation. For example, depending on the size and shape of the pocket, a part of the portion excluding the opening may be attached to the inner surface of the collar and the upper surface along the fastener portion, and a part may be attached to the inner surface of the upper front portion. Or you may attach all the parts except an opening part to the inner surface of the front upper part.
The calligraphy case may also have elements not shown, for example, a glove compartment may be provided on the outer or inner surface of the case.

  The calligraphy case of the present invention provides a large opening when the fastener portion is opened, and can easily put in and out calligraphy tools. Therefore, the calligraphy set used by elementary and junior high school students and provided at elementary and junior high schools Is particularly useful as a component of
