Description

The present invention relates to a switching bag that allows the appearance of the bag to be changed.

2. Description of the Related Art In general, a reversible bag is known as a bag whose appearance can be changed, and which has a releasable upper opening and is turned inside out from the upper opening.

Conventionally, a type of bag that has been devised as a switching bag allows the appearance of the bag to be changed by changing the handle to two different types, for example, one for carrying by hand and one for carrying on the shoulder.
Furthermore, there are switching bags, such as Boston bag types, which use a zipper to change the appearance.

As lifestyles become more diverse, there is a growing demand for bags with enhanced convenience and design that change the appearance and purpose of use according to TPO (Time, Place, Occasion). Here, TPO means time, place, and occasion.

On the other hand, there is a growing demand for bags that are as intuitive and easy to understand and operate as possible.

Traditionally, switching bags that allow you to change the appearance of the bag are designed to be used by changing the length of the handle to change the way it is used, or by using attached parts to be used as a handbag or shoulder bag. .

In other words, conventional switching bags do not assume that the appearance can be changed by reversing the axis of rotation while maintaining the shape of the front and back. Therefore, the structure makes it difficult to switch between the front and back sides of the bag when it is held in hand.

In addition, reversible tote bags that are used with the front and back sides turned over are not intended to be used while out or on the go, and in order to turn the bag inside out, it is necessary to take out the stored items and then put them back in.

Furthermore, in Patent Document 1, the function-changing cloth is installed in the bag body, and the function-changing cloth is reversed and connected to switch from the first usage mode to the second usage mode, which makes the operation of attaching and detaching the joining member complicated. becomes.

On the other hand, in the case of a type of Boston bag that uses a zipper to change the mode of use (Patent Document 2) or a type that uses an open zipper to allow the bag to be removed, it is not possible to turn the bag upside down while carrying it in your hand or wearing it on your shoulder. Therefore, handling is inconvenient, and there is a possibility that stored items may be lost or dropped.

Similarly, in the case of a type that requires external parts, there is a possibility that the external parts may be lost, and depending on the user, it may be difficult to install the external parts on the main body.

Therefore, the present invention was devised in view of the above-mentioned background, and its purpose is to provide a switching bag that can be flipped to change its appearance while keeping the bag's shape the same. It's about doing.

A switching bag according to a first invention is a switching bag equipped with a zipper and a gusset around the periphery, and the switching bag has a gusset section where one side of the front or back side becomes a rotation axis, and a gusset section where the gusset is shortened; a reversible fastener installed in a J-shape continuously up to the point where the reversible fastener advances from the starting position in the opening direction and reaches the gusset at a position beyond the final corner of the reversible fastener. When the reversible fastener is opened to a position beyond the final corner, the switching bag is folded back using the gusset as the rotation axis.

A switching bag according to a second invention is characterized in that, in the first invention, the width of the gusset portion is the same as the width of the reversible fastener.

A switching bag according to a third invention is characterized in that in the first invention or the second invention, the reversible fastener has a double-sided slider or a rotating slider that allows the fastener to be opened and closed when the switching bag is folded back.

According to the present invention having the above-described configuration, it is possible to change the appearance by inverting the bag while keeping the shape of the bag the same. Therefore, the user T. P. O. You can use the bag flexibly depending on your needs. Furthermore, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a switching bag that is more convenient because it is easy to intuitively understand and operate when switching and using.
