Description

  The present invention relates to a shopping bag structure that is easy to carry, can be used repeatedly, is environmentally friendly, and is versatile.

  In the past, when shopping, it was common to bring shopping baskets and shopping bags to the store, but for the past 2 to 30 years, the labor of carrying empty shopping baskets to the store can be omitted. For convenience, bags of various sizes made of synthetic resin or paper such as vinyl and polyethylene, which are convenient and inexpensive, are used as packaging materials for packing ordinary shopping at supermarkets, greengrocers, fish shops, etc. Widely used in the form provided by Further, the actual open flat 5-72744 is configured to form a string through the periphery of the polygonal sheet-like main body, pass the string through the string through part, and pull the string to form a bag shape. Further, there is disclosed a shopping bag with a string which is used for packaging ornamental flowers, flower pots and the like so as not to damage items.

  In recent years, with the increase in consideration for the environment, there are increasing calls to review environmentally friendly shopping bags that can be used repeatedly. However, shopping baskets and shopping bags that have been used before are bulky even when empty, and there is a problem that carrying is troublesome. Recently, portable shopping bags that can be folded down are also commercially available. However, since they are already formed in a bag shape, they have no use when empty.

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a shopping bag that is easy to carry, can be used repeatedly, is environmentally friendly, and is versatile.

  In order to achieve the above object, a shopping bag according to the present invention includes a pair of first string passage portions formed by bending a pair of opposing peripheral portions of a quadrangular sheet inward and joining the sheet along the edge thereof. The first string insertion hole is formed at two symmetrical positions in each of the first string passing portions, and the other pair of opposite peripheral edges are bent inward, along the edge portions thereof. A sheet-like main body having durability and flexibility by forming a pair of second string passage portions by joining to a sheet, and forming second string insertion holes at both ends of each second string passage portion. Each first string is inserted into one first string insertion hole of the first string threading portion so that the first string is inserted into another pair of first string insertion holes. Pass the first string through each threading part, and insert one second string from one second string insertion hole of the second string threading part. The second string is passed through each second string passing portion so as to come out from another second string insertion hole to be paired, and the sheet-like main body is contracted by pulling both ends of each first string. The sheet-shaped main body is configured to be contracted by pulling both ends of the two strings.

  The rectangular sheet-like body has sufficient durability and flexibility as a bag and can be used repeatedly as long as it can be used repeatedly, whether it is a synthetic resin, a woven fabric or a non-woven fabric. Although good, it is preferable to use cotton from the viewpoint of an eco-friendly shopping bag.

  Moreover, it is preferable to provide the structure which prevents the fall of a string by providing the ball | bowl and the knot for preventing the fall of a string at the both ends of each string, or joining a string and a string passage part near the center.

  It is preferable to use a narrow string with emphasis on ease of knotting as the first string, and a slightly wide string with ease of use as a handle as the second string.

  Since the shopping bag of the present invention uses a durable material, it can be used repeatedly, and is more environmentally friendly than disposable shopping bags provided in supermarkets and the like.

  Moreover, the shopping bag of the present invention is used as a shopping bag by pulling and tying the first string and the second string as described above, but the first string and the second string are Since it is in the form of a sheet (furoshiki) when it is not pulled, it can be folded and carried around, eliminating the problem of being bulky even when empty like conventional shopping baskets and shopping bags. it can.

  Traditional furoshiki is the same in terms of convenience in carrying, but the shopping bag of the present invention is easier to carry because there is a handle when it is made into a bag shape compared to the traditional furoshiki, and in the same seat area, It has a larger volume as a bag than a furoshiki with a structure that connects the four corners.

  Recently, portable shopping bags that can be folded small are also available on the market, but because they are already formed into a bag shape, the shopping of the present invention compared to when there was no use when empty. The bag is in the form of a sheet when the string is not pulled, so when it is empty, it can be used as a kneeling or scarf when it is chilly, or it can be used as an apron by tying one second string to the neck. You can also. Moreover, it can also be used as a conventional furoshiki and a single shopping bag can be used for a wide range of applications.

  Further, the shopping packaging material of Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 5-72744 can be used as a portable shopping bag depending on the material, but it is formed into a bag shape by pulling a single string passed around the sheet-shaped main body. Therefore, there are limitations in terms of the adjustability of the bag shape. On the other hand, since this invention is provided with a pair of 1st string and a pair of 2nd string separately, the freedom degree which adjusts the shape of a bag and a capacity | capacitance increases remarkably. Further, in the manufacturing process, the shape and capacity of the bag can be further adjusted by changing the position of the first string insertion hole in accordance with the expected use.

In addition, the first string is used exclusively for the purpose of shrinking the sheet-like main body into a bag shape, and the second string is used for the purpose of a handle in addition to this purpose. A narrow string with emphasis on ease of tying can be used for one string, and a slightly wider string can be used for the second string as a handle. This is an effect obtained by separating the strings.

  As long as the sheet-like main body has sufficient durability and flexibility as a bag and can be used repeatedly, anything may be used according to the purpose of use, but natural fibers such as cotton are used. Thus, no harmful gas is generated even when incinerated at the time of disposal, and furthermore, an environmentally friendly shopping bag that returns to the soil by biodegradation without incineration can be obtained. In particular, cotton has a good touch when it is held in the hand, is excellent in durability, and further has an appropriate friction and hardness so that the shape of the bag can be appropriately maintained. In general, when a thin material is used, there is an advantage that it is lightweight and easy to carry, and when a thick material is used, there are advantages such as excellent durability and warm as a rug.

  By providing balls or knots at both ends of the first string and / or the second string, or by joining the first string and / or the second string and the respective string passing portions near the center, the string can be removed. Can be prevented.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows a shopping bag 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention in the form of a sheet. By taking the surface corresponding to the outside of the bag as the front, FIG. 1A is a rear view of the shopping bag 1 of the present embodiment, FIG. 1B is a plan view, and FIG. Is a front view, and FIG. 1 (d) is a side view.

  As shown in FIG. 1 (a), the sheet-like main body 2 of the shopping bag 1 is joined to the sheet by bending a pair of opposing peripheral edges of a quadrilateral sheet inward and stitching along the edges. A pair of first string passage portions 3 are formed, first string insertion holes 3a are formed at two symmetrical positions in each first string passage portion, and another pair of opposite peripheral edges are formed on the inner side. Are joined to the sheet by forming a pair of second string passage portions 4, and second string insertion holes 4a are formed at both ends of each second string passage portion 4. It is formed by doing. The material of the sheet-like main body 2 is not limited as long as it has durability and flexibility as a bag, but Mikawa cotton is used in this embodiment.

  One first string 5 is inserted into one of the first string insertion holes 3a of the sheet-like main body formed in this way, and each of the first string insertion holes 3a is taken out from the other pair of first insertion holes 3a. The first string 5 is passed through the first string passing part 3 one by one. Similarly, one second string 6 is inserted into one of the second insertion holes 4a so as to come out from the other second insertion hole 4a to be paired. Pass two strings 6 one by one. As long as both the first string 5 and the second string 6 function as a string, the material, width, etc. are not limited, but in the present embodiment, the first string 5 is easy to tie and can be easily obtained. The second string is made of co-cotton with a width that is easy to use as a handle and easy to tie. Further, balls 5 a are arranged at both ends of each first string 5, and the center part of each second string 6 and the center part of each second string passing part are joined by the seam 7.

  Pulling both ends of each first string 5 in the direction of arrow A in FIG. 1 to shrink the sheet-like body 2 to tie both ends, pulling both ends of each second string 6 in the direction of arrow B to shrink the sheet-like body 2, By connecting both ends so as to form a bag as shown in FIG. 2, it can be used as a shopping bag.

  When it is empty, it is folded and carried as shown in FIG. 3A is a front view, and FIG. 3B is a side view. FIG. 3 shows an example of how to fold, but of course, it may be folded in any way according to the preference of the person who carries it.
