Description

  The present invention relates to a shopping bag represented by a conventional eco bag, which has a structure that can be quickly and three-dimensionally stored in a cash basket and a function that can be easily folded in a small size.

  In general, when shopping at a supermarket, etc., after completing the checkout at the cash register, replace it with a plastic bag from the cash basket and take it home. However, this replacement work had to be excavated in order from the heavy items at the bottom of the checkout basket, and it took a lot of time and effort.

  Therefore, recently, there is a convenient method in which a shopping bag is placed in a cash register basket where items that have been cleared at the cash register are placed in advance and directly put in the shopping bag, and then the bag is pulled out after the settlement. This has the advantage that the store side has less space for replacement and can be refreshed in terms of flow.

  In this way, I think that the method of generating profits for both the customer and the store is the driving force for the quick penetration of eco-bags. For this purpose, there is a need for a shopping bag that does not require much time and effort to set up a cash basket, is easy to put in, and can be folded and carried.

  There have been several shopping bags of the same type so far, and in some cases, only one side of the bottom plate is fixed to the inner bottom of the main body, and when folding it is stood in the bag so that the gusset part is flat There are things that become, and those that attach a net to the top of the bag without the bottom plate and hook it on the edge of the basket while spreading. However, the former does not become smaller than the size of the bottom plate, and the latter has the problem that it is difficult to set and it is difficult to put in the set. There were inconveniences such as not entering.

  The present invention solves the problems that such conventional shopping bags have, and can be quickly and three-dimensionally stored in a checkout basket while having a function of easily folding in a small size. The purpose is to provide a shopping bag with a mechanism that sometimes allows a liquidated item to be directly put into the bag, and the bag can be taken out as it is.

  In order to achieve the above object, according to claim 1 of the present invention, in a foldable shopping bag, an upper lid is attached to four sides of the upper portion of the bag body, and a hinge that can be opened and closed at a triangular folding portion at the bottom of the bag body. The mold bottom plate was fitted, and the hinge shaft portion and the bag body bottom portion were passed through a string or the like and tied. As a result, when the shopping bag of the present invention is placed in the cash register basket, the upper lid is folded back and hooked on the edge of the cash basket, so that the upper part is stable, and the hinge-shaped bottom plate is also held flat and held at the bottom part. Therefore, the three-dimensional shape can be maintained. In addition, by pulling the handle of the bag and the clasp in the opposite direction at the same time, the hinge-type bottom plate is closed, and in association with this, the town triangle folding portion at the bottom of the bag body is folded into a flat state.

  According to the second aspect of the present invention, an elastic body with tension applied is bridged between both ends of the hinge shaft portion below the hinge-type bottom plate. Accordingly, when the folded shopping bag is stored in the cash register basket, the hinge-type bottom plate automatically returns from the closed state to the opened state by a repulsive force.

  The shopping bag of the present invention has the effects as described below.

  Even if the size of the bag is smaller than the cash register basket, the three-dimensional shape that stabilizes in the cash basket and is easy to pack things by holding the bottom of the main body with the hinge type bottom plate and the hooking of the upper lid of the upper four sides of the main body. It becomes possible to keep. Since the size of the normal shopping basket corresponds to the size of two shopping bag LL sizes, it may be half the size of the shopping basket. In this case, two can be put together in the shopping basket. This makes it possible for women to hold it with one hand, and the optimal dimensions to fit in the front basket of a bicycle.

  In addition, the hinge-shaped bottom plate can be set quickly and easily by the automatic opening structure of the hinge-shaped bottom plate, and when carrying, the hinge-shaped bottom plate is closed by pulling the handle of the bag and the strap on the bottom of the bag at the same time. Since the parts are interlocked and folded into a flat state, it can be further folded down to about half the size of the bottom plate. In addition, since the fastener can be easily removed, the main body and the bottom plate can be separated and washed, and can be used for a long time.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a shopping bag showing an embodiment of the present invention. A bag body 1 has two long side upper lids 2a and two short side upper lids 2b attached to the upper four sides thereof. A handle 5 is attached to the main body side in the vicinity of both ends of the side-side upper lid 2a. Moreover, the latching part 3 attached to the upper lid, the latching latched part 4a and the latching latched part 4b attached to the main body may be easily removable such as a velcro or hook. Then, the four upper lid portions to be hung on the edge of the cash register basket may be given a little more weight and thickness than other portions by changing the cloth or making it double. In addition, a hinge-type bottom plate 7 that can be opened and closed is fitted into the bottom, and the hinge shaft portion 7a and the bottom of the bag body 1 are passed through the fastening string 6 and connected.

  FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the state when the shopping bag is stored in the cash register basket, holding the two short-side upper lids 2b with both hands, and the long-side upper lid 2a1 from the top of the basket to the edge of the cash register basket. Hang it down and put it down vertically. Finally, the two upper lids 2b on the short side are folded outward and hooked on the edge of the registration basket.

  FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing a method for sewing the bottom of the main body of the shopping bag, in which the bottom of the bag main body 1 is folded and flattened, and both the town portions are sewn together.

  FIG. 4 is an overhead view showing an inner bottom portion of the shopping bag, and is fitted so that the slit portion 7b of the hinge-type bottom plate 7 is hidden under the triangular folding portion 1a, and the hinge shaft portion 7a and the bag body 1 are inserted. The bottom of the tie is penetrated by the strap 6 and tied. Further, the bag main body 1 and the hinge-type bottom plate 7 can be easily removed by unfastening the knots of the straps 6.

  FIG. 5 is a plan view showing an open state of the hinge-type bottom plate. Since the hinge shaft portion 7a is bent every time it is opened and closed, it is desirable that the entire hinge-type bottom plate 7 is made of a strong resin plate such as polypropylene.

  FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA ′ of the hinge-type bottom plate, and shows a state in which an elastic body 8 that exerts tension such as rubber or a coil spring is bridged on both ends of the hinge shaft portion 7a on the lower side of the hinge-type bottom plate 7. Show. However, if the material of the hinge-type bottom plate 7 is elastic, even if there is no elastic body 8, the hinge-type bottom plate 7 is similarly closed by bending the hinge-type bottom plate 7 in a direction perpendicular to the hinge shaft portion 7a as shown in the figure. However, it is possible to return to a flat surface with repulsive force.

  FIG. 7 is a side view showing a closed state of the hinge-type bottom plate. Since the hinge-type bottom plate 7 is folded in half at the hinge shaft portion 7a, it can be made compact when folded.

  FIG. 8 is a perspective view showing how to fold the shopping bag. By pulling the bag handle 5 and the strap 6 at the bottom of the bag at the same time, the upper lid is lowered and interlocked with the closing angle of the hinge-shaped bottom plate 7. Then, the bag body 1 and the town triangle fold portion 1a are automatically folded into a flat state.

  FIG. 9 is a perspective view showing a state when the shopping bag is folded and carried, and if the bag body 1 in a flat state is further folded and the locking portion 3 is fastened to the locked portion 4b for folding and fastening. It is affordable to carry.
