In particular, when the inner case is a substantially rectangular parallelepiped, it is more preferable that the first belt portion and the second belt portion are wound so as to intersect with a cross in plan view.

Further, according to the invention of claim 1, the relay unit for connecting the other end of the first band portion and the other end of the second band portion, by an engagement portion at one end of each band portion respectively engaged Thus, it is possible to realize a configuration in which the inner cases are bundled with a simple structure.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, the angle at which the first belt portion and the second belt portion sandwich the relay portion can be easily changed with a simple structure and with a high degree of freedom. Therefore, the winding direction of the first belt portion and the winding direction of the second belt portion can be easily crossed, and the crossing angle can be easily adjusted.

According to invention of Claim 3 , a strip | belt-shaped member can be used by the optimal length for the usage form.

According to invention of Claim 4 , when a strip | belt-shaped member exists in a 2nd state, a part of tool, for example, a text etc., can be stored separately from an internal calligraphy tool in the recessed part provided in the inner case. . At this time, since at least a part of the opening of the concave portion is closed by the belt-like member, the stripped member can prevent the stored tool from dropping even if the concave portion has no lid.

According to invention of Claim 5 , it can be set as a lightweight and compact outer case with simple structure. Moreover, it can suppress that the whole rigidity when the inner case is stored in the outer case becomes excessively high. In addition, the degree of freedom in design can be increased compared to the case where the outer case is a hard case.

According to the invention of claim 6 , the tool storage case can be used in various usage forms, and the carrying convenience can be improved. For example, when carrying a tool storage case alone, it can be easily carried using the band-shaped member in the first usage pattern. And when carrying with other bags, for example, school bags, etc., if the tool storage case is made into a more compact second usage pattern and is stored in another bag and carried, the total number of luggage can be reduced. be able to.

  As shown in FIG. 2, a hook-and-loop fastener 39 (39 a) is provided at a location of the outer case body 32 that faces the inner case 20. On the other hand, a surface fastener 39 (39b) that engages with the surface fastener 39a is provided on the bottom surface of the inner case main body 20a.

  Further, a pocket 33 is provided inside the outer case main body 32, and a sheet-like tool such as a semi-paper can be accommodated along the outer case main body 32.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the side band 36 is a band-shaped member that closes the substantially central portion of the side surface that is the open part of the outer case 30 in the first usage pattern 11, and is, for example, the same flexible as the outer case main body 32. Made of material. A hook 37 is provided in the vicinity of the front end of the side band 36, and the hook 37 is engaged with a hook (not shown) provided in the outer case main body 32 so that the closed state is maintained.

  The handle 34 is a pair of band-shaped members protruding upward in the first usage pattern 11 and is made of the same flexible material as the outer case main body 32, for example.

  The band-shaped member 40 mainly includes a band part 42 and an engaging part 47. Furthermore, the band part 42 mainly includes a first band part 42a, a second band part 42b, and a relay part 45 that connects them.

  The band-shaped member 40 is attached to the outer case 30 to become a carrying band for the tool storage case 10, and the lid portion of the inner case 20 that is detached from the outer case 30 and separated from the outer case 30. It is configured to be deformable to a second state that becomes a binding band that restrains 20b in a closed state. FIG. 2 shows the belt-like member 40 in the first state. At this time, the belt-like member 40 is linearly extending.

  The first belt portion 42a and the second belt portion 42b are belt-like members each partially being a double member, and are made of the same flexible material as that of the outer case main body 32, for example. A buckle 43 is provided on each of the first belt portion 42a and the second belt portion 42b, and the length of the double portion can be adjusted. Accordingly, the total length of each of the first belt portion 42a and the second belt portion 42b can be adjusted independently, and the total length of the belt portion 42 to which these are connected can be adjusted. Further, the relay portion 45 in the belt portion 42 can be adjusted. The relative position of can also be adjusted.

The engaging part 46 is a hook-like member similar to the engaging part 47 and is detachably engaged with the relay part 45. Further, the engaging portion 46 is engaged with the relay portion 45 so that the connecting portion 46a (see FIGS. 3A and 3B) can smoothly move in the circumferential direction of the relay portion 45. It is configured.

  The end of the second band portion 42b opposite to the end where the second engagement portion 47b is provided is directly engaged with the relay portion 45. In other words, the relay portion 45 is engaged by using the folding of the double portion.

  FIG. 3 is an explanatory view showing a state change of the band-shaped member 40. FIG. 3A shows a case where the band-shaped member 40 is in the first state, and FIG. 3B shows a case where the band-shaped member 40 is deformed from the first state to the second state. (C) shows the case where the strip | belt-shaped member 40 is a 2nd state, respectively. Hereinafter, the state change of the belt-shaped member 40 will be described with reference to FIG.

  As shown to Fig.3 (a), the 1st state of the strip | belt-shaped member 40 is linear extending in one. When the connecting portion 46a between the relay portion 45 and the engaging portion 46 is moved 90 degrees in the circumferential direction of the relay portion 45 from this state, the state shown in FIG. At this time, the axis of the first belt portion 42a and the axis of the second belt portion 42b intersect at an intersection angle of 90 degrees.

  When the first engaging portion 47a and the second engaging portion 47b are both locked to the relay portion 45 from the state of FIG. 3B, the belt-like member 40 is in the second state shown in FIG. In the second state, the first belt portion 42a and the second belt portion 42b have a closed curve shape that intersects each other at an intersection angle of 90 degrees.

  FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing the second usage pattern 12 of the tool storage case 10. As shown in this figure, in the second usage pattern 12, the belt-like member 40 is in the second state, and the inner case 20 is wound in a cross shape between the first belt portion 42a and the second belt portion 42b. The recess 21 is closed vertically and horizontally by the first belt portion 42a and the second belt portion 42b in a state where the text 52 is housed separately from the internal calligraphy tool 51.

  Next, the usage method of the tool storage case 10 is demonstrated.

  First, a method for storing the inner case 20 in the first usage pattern 11 will be described. As shown in FIG. 2, after storing the calligraphy tool 51 in the inner case body 20a, the lid 20b is closed. Further, the text 52 is stored (placed) in the recess 21 as necessary. Then, after the outer case main body 32 is developed and calligraphy tools such as semi-paper are stored in the pockets 33, the inner case 20 is placed on the developed outer case main body 32. At that time, the hook-and-loop fastener 39 is engaged to fix the inner case 20 to the outer case main body 32. Next, the inner case 20 is wrapped with the outer case body 32 and the hook-and-loop fastener 35 is engaged. Finally, when the hook 37 is engaged and the side band 36 is closed, the storage of the inner case 20 is completed.

  In this retracted state, the inner case 20 is prevented from falling off from the open surface (side surface) of the outer case 30 by the engagement of the surface fastener 39 and the side band 36. Further, rattling of the inner case 20 in the outer case 30 is prevented by the engagement of the hook-and-loop fastener 39.

  Further, since the outer case main body 32 is restricted from being expanded or expanded in the expansion direction by the engagement of the hook-and-loop fastener 35, the outer case main body 32 has the lid portion 20 b in the state in which the inner case 20 is stored. This prevents the case body 20a from coming off. Further, the text 52 housed in the recess 21 isolated from the calligraphy tool 51 inside the inner case 20 is prevented from coming off from the recess 21. That is, the outer case main body 32 also serves as a closing means for the inner case 20 and an opening closing means for the recess 21 in the first usage pattern 1.

  Since the outer case 30 is a soft case, the outer case 30 can be configured to be light and compact with a simple structure as compared with a hard case, and the degree of design freedom can be increased. Moreover, it can suppress that the whole rigidity when the inner case 20 is stored becomes high too much.

  Next, the carrying method of the tool storage case 10 in the first usage pattern 11 will be described. Since the handle 34 is provided on the outer case main body 32, the user can carry the tool storage case 10 like a handbag with the band-shaped member 40 removed. If the belt-like member 40 is attached to the outer case main body 32 as a carrying band, the user can carry the tool storage case 10 like a shoulder bag. At that time, the length of the belt portion 42 can be adjusted to an appropriate length according to the user's physique by the buckle 43. Moreover, since the position of the relay part 45 in the belt | band | zone part 42 can be moved relatively by the buckle 43, the relay part 45 can be provided in the position which does not become obstructive.

  Further, when the necessary length of the belt-like member 40 is short because the user's physique is particularly small, the outer portion of the outer case body 32 is replaced with the second engaging portion 47b by removing the engaging portion 46 from the relay portion 45. By engaging with the belt-shaped member 40, the belt-shaped member 40 can be configured only by the first belt portion 42a.

  Next, a method for closing the inner case 20 in the second usage pattern 12 will be described. After covering the inner case main body 20a with the lid portion 20b and storing (mounting) the text 52 in the concave portion 21 as required, the inner case 20 is brought into the second state as shown in FIG. Can be closed and the opening of the recess 21 can be closed vertically and horizontally. At that time, the length of the first band part 42a and the second band part 42b can be adjusted with the buckle 43 without excess or deficiency, so that reliable closure can be performed. Moreover, since the length of the 1st belt | band | zone part 42a and the length of the 2nd belt | band | zone part 42b can be adjusted independently, irrespective of the aspect ratio of the inner case 20, appropriate winding can be performed.

  In this embodiment, since the inner case 20 is a substantially rectangular parallelepiped, the first belt portion 42a and the second belt portion 42b are crossed in a cross shape. However, since the relay portion 45 is an annular member, the crossing angle can be arbitrarily and easily set. Can be changed. Therefore, even when the inner case 20 is not a rectangular parallelepiped, the inner case 20 can be more reliably closed according to its shape.

  Next, a method for carrying the inner case 20 in the second usage pattern 12 will be described. When the rigidity of the inner case 20 is sufficiently large, the user can directly hold the inner case 20 and carry it. The second usage pattern 12 is more compact than the first usage pattern 11, and is therefore suitable for carrying in another bag, for example, a school bag. Thus, if the inner case 20 is accommodated in another bag and carried, the total number of luggage items can be reduced.

  As is apparent from the above description, even if the inner case 20 itself is not provided with a closing means, the first usage pattern 11 and the second usage pattern 12 are reliably closed. Therefore, the inner case 20 can be made lighter, more compact, and less expensive than the case in which the inner case 20 is provided with a closing means.

  Similarly, even if the recess 21 itself is not provided with a lid, the first usage pattern 11 and the second usage pattern 12 are reliably closed. Therefore, the inner case 20 can be made lighter, more compact, and lower in cost than a case where a separate lid 21 is provided with a lid.

  Further, the band-like member 40 that is not necessary in the second usage pattern 12 is used as a closing means in the second usage pattern 12 without providing a separate member. Therefore, it is possible to efficiently use components and suppress an increase in the number of components. This can also contribute to cost reduction.

  As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention was described, this invention is not limited to this embodiment, You may change suitably within a claim.

  For example, the connection between the second belt portion 42b and the relay portion 45 may be performed via the engaging portion 46, similarly to the connection between the first belt portion 42a and the relay portion 45.

  Further, when there is no request to divide the belt-like member 40 in the first usage pattern 11, the relay part 45 and the engaging part 46 do not have to be detachable. For example, the first belt portion 42a may be engaged with the relay portion 45 by using the folding of the double portion, similarly to the second belt portion 42b.

  The tool storage case 10 is not limited to the storage of the calligraphy tool 51 and the text 52, and may be applied to the storage and carrying of all tools such as art materials.
