Description

The present invention relates to pouches, for example glove compartments.

Pouches P have been proposed for containing items such as cosmetics and other personal items.

The pouch shown in FIG. 2 (JU1988-115321A: see JU1988-115321A for the symbols in FIG. 2), the pouch shown in FIG. 3 (JU3202688B: see JU3202688B for the symbols in FIG. 4 are referred to JU3204327B), and the pouch shown in FIG. These pouches P are pouches in which fasteners (slide fasteners, also called zippers) are used at the opening and closing parts. These pouches P are provided with gripping pieces (sliders) 25, 17a for opening and closing the fasteners. The grip piece (slider) may also have a string (ornament) (see FIG. 3). The gripping piece (slider) may also have a ring 18 (see FIG. 5).

A pouch P employing a fastener (slide fastener) having a structure different from that shown in FIGS. For example, the pouches shown in FIGS. 9, 10, and 11 refer to JP2019-209199A.), the pouch shown in FIGS. The structure of the opening and closing portion of the pouch P is based on the fitting of grooves provided on the inner side of one side of the pouch P and protrusions provided on the inner side of the other side of the pouch P. As shown in FIG. Fitting/unfitting (closing/opening of the opening/closing portion) between the grooved line and the projected line is performed by sliding (moving) the sliders 20 , 5 , 120 . The fitting (closing of the opening) of the grooved line and the projected line is performed by sliding the sliders 20, 5, 120 in the closing direction (leftward direction in FIG. 12). At the position where the sliders 20, 5, 120 are present, the inner wall of the slider presses the grooved line and the projected line in the fitting direction (inward direction). The recessed line and the protruding line fit together (the opening is closed). Conversely, when the sliders 20, 5, 120 are slid in the opening direction (rightward direction in FIG. 12), the tongues (23 (see FIG. 8), 5b (see FIG. 11) of the sliders 20, 5, 120 )) releases the engagement between the grooved line and the projected line. (The opening opens.)

The slide fasteners shown in FIGS. 3 to 5 and the slide fasteners shown in FIGS. 6 to 13 are slightly different in structure. Although the slide fastener in FIGS. 3 to 5 has recesses and protrusions, it does not have recesses and protrusions like the slide fasteners in FIGS. 6 to 13. FIG.

JU1987-5008A JU1988-115321A JU1995-109A JU3202688B JU3204327B JU3214956B JU3226278B JP1999-276216A JP2012-40364A JP2018-191966A JP2019-209199A JP2021-59389A WO2017/150700 US Patent No. 2148757

Conventionally, it has been difficult for the slider to slide smoothly.
In particular, in the case of a slide fastener that opens and closes by engaging and disengaging a grooved line and a projected line, it is difficult to smoothly slide the slider (open and close).

Therefore, the problem to be solved by the present invention is to facilitate the opening and closing of the slide fastener (the method of opening and closing is to engage and disengage the recessed and protruding stripes), and to provide a pouch that is rich in character. is to provide

The inventor investigated the cause of the poor operability of the slider in the slide fastener of the type shown in FIGS.

As a result, it was found that it was difficult to hold the slider (to apply force to the slider) due to the small size of the slider.
In a slide fastener that adopts a closing/opening method by fitting/releasing a grooved line and a projected line, the thickness (outer width: The width dimension W) of the slide fastener in plan view is about 2 mm. The outline width (the width dimension of the slider in a plan view) of the slider arranged over the grooved line and the projected line was about 6 mm at most. The height was about 7 mm. The outer shape of the pouch as an accessory case is generally small. Accordingly, the total length of the slider (the length in the sliding direction) was about 1 cm.
Since the slider is of such a small size, it is troublesome to put a hand (finger) on the slider to move it.
In particular, the outer width of the slider held between the thumb and index finger (approximately 6 mm) is narrower than the distance between the thumb and index finger (usual distance: approximately 15 to 20 mm). Therefore, when the slider is sandwiched between the thumb and forefinger, a special (superfluous) gripping force is required. It is necessary to pick up the slider consciously.
In other words, when the slider is slid, the slider must be gripped by applying force to the fingers. This makes it difficult to slide the slider smoothly. Unsatisfactory from an ergonomic point of view.

Therefore, the inventor of the present application attached a large-sized character (figure: "large" means to oppose the small size of the slider body) to the small-sized slider body. As a result, the slider could be smoothly slid (moved).

Some pouches have a ring attached to the slider that is sized to fit a finger (eg, the index finger). Even with this type of pouch, the operability of the slider was poor. The inventor investigated the cause of this.

It is possible to insert a finger into the ring and slide the slider. The slider can be slid by pinching the tab.
However, the direction in which the ring (or tab) is pulled to slide the slider is at a certain angle (for example, 45°) with respect to the direction of the concave and convex lines. The direction of the force applied to slide the slider and the direction in which the slider slides (the direction of the concave and convex lines) are not parallel. Suppose there is an angle of say 45° between the two directions. In this case, assuming that a force of Xg weight is required to slide the slider in the direction of the concave and convex stripes, it takes (2) ^1/2 Xg force to pull the ring (or tab). need power. That is, a large force exceeding 1.4 times was necessary.

The present invention was made based on the above findings.

The present invention
A pouch comprising a slide fastener and a slider for opening and closing the slide fastener,
A pouch is proposed in which the slider satisfies [5≦(maximum width of at least part of the slider)/(width of the slide fastener)].

The present invention
A slide fastener (having a groove (and/or a ridge) on one side and a ridge (and/or a ridge) facing the groove (and/or the ridge) on the other side, and , in a pouch equipped with a slider for opening and closing the slide fastener (engagement and unengagement between the concave strip and the convex strip),
The pouch has a portion where the slider satisfies [5≦(maximum width of at least part of the slider)/(outer width at the fitting portion in the fitting state of the recessed line and the projected line)]. do.

The invention proposes a pouch whose maximum width at said slider is preferably greater than or equal to 1.2 cm.

The invention proposes a pouch whose maximum length at said slider is preferably 3 cm or more.

The invention proposes a pouch in which the vicinity of the widest point on said slider preferably comprises surface irregularities.

The present invention proposes a pouch in which the vicinity of the widest point of the slider is preferably made of a soft or elastic material.

The invention proposes a pouch in which the slider is preferably detachable at a point near the widest point on the slider.

The present invention proposes a pouch in which the vicinity of the widest point of the slider preferably has a shape with character.

In a pouch provided with a slide fastener and a slider (a slider for opening and closing the slide fastener), the operability of the slider was very good. When sliding the slider, it is not necessary to hold the slider by applying a large force to the fingers. A force may be applied to the slider in a direction substantially parallel to the surface of the slide fastener to move the slider. No great force was required. Therefore, the operability of the slider was very good.
Since the slider was made larger than the conventional slider, it was easy to put a hand (finger) on the slider. It was easy to apply force to the slider. Therefore, the operability of the slider was very good.
Because the slider was larger than previous sliders, it was easier to make the slider have character features.

The present invention is a pouch.
The pouch has a size of, for example, 30 cm (length: lateral length) x 30 cm (height) x 15 cm (width) or less. For example, resin film A (substantially rectangular shape (for example, rectangular shape) with one side (long side) of length 30 cm (preferably 22 cm) or less) and resin film B (one side (long side) of length 30 cm (preferably 22 cm) or less (for example, a rectangular shape)). The film A and the film B may be made of the same material or different materials. The film A has grooves (and/or ridges) along one edge (horizontal direction at the upper end: horizontal direction at the edge on the opening side). The film B has, along one edge thereof (horizontal direction at the upper end: lateral direction at the edge on the opening side), a ridge ( and/or grooves). Therefore, the grooves (and/or the ridges) of the film A and the ridges (and/or the grooves) of the film B are arranged in a direction in which the films A and B are pressed against each other. When a force is applied, they fit together (the protruding line fits into the recessed line). The other edges of the film A (remaining three sides on which the grooves and ridges are not provided) and the other edges of the film B (the remaining three sides on which the ridges and grooves are not provided) three sides) is a welded structure. When a sheet of film C in which the film A and the film B are connected is used, if it is folded in half, it is sufficient to weld it along two sides. This constitutes a bag (pouch). A slider is provided between the film A and the film B so as to straddle the grooves and projections. By moving (moving in the direction of the grooves/protrusions) the slider disposed across the grooves/protrusions, the grooves and the protrusions are matched (porch is closed), and the engagement between the groove and the projection is removed (the pouch is opened). Since these structures (configurations) are also adopted in conventional pouches, the details are omitted.

[5≤(maximum width of at least part of the slider)/(the width of the slide fastener (for example, the width of the outer shape of the fitting portion in the fitting state of the recess and the projection: the width is characterized by having a portion (shaped portion) that satisfies the width of the slide fastener (dimension in the left-right direction (X direction) in FIG. 1) in plan view (see FIG. 1) when the pouch is erected.
Said value "5" was preferably "6". More preferably, it was "7".
The maximum width of the slider was preferably 1.2 cm or more. More preferably, it was 1.5 cm or more. It was preferably 3 cm or less. More preferably, it was 2.5 cm or less. More preferably, it was 2.2 cm or less. Even more preferably, it was 2 cm or less.
If the maximum width of the slider is too small, a large force is required to pinch the side surface of the slider with fingers. If the maximum width of the slider is too large, the fingers have to be spread wide enough to pinch the side surface of the slider.
That is, the dimensions were determined from an ergonomic point of view. In particular, it was determined from the size of a young woman's hand (the distance between the thumb and forefinger when the thumb and forefinger are naturally spread apart).
The maximum length of the slider in the sliding direction (the Y direction in FIG. 1) was preferably 2.5 cm or more. More preferably, it was 3 cm or more. It was preferably 5 cm or less.

Concavities and convexities are preferably provided on the surface of the slider in the vicinity of the maximum width. The unevenness may be a fine groove shape or a large three-dimensional unevenness of the slider itself. As a result, when the slider is held by a hand (fingers), the unevenness prevents the hand (fingers) from slipping. It was easy to slide the slider.

The vicinity of the widest point of the slider is preferably made of a soft or elastic material. As a result, when the slider is held by the hand (fingers), the hands (fingers) are less likely to slip. It was easy to slide the slider.

A portion of the slider near the maximum width portion is preferably detachable (detachable) from the slider (slider body). For example, it is a structure in which a character (figure) is detachably attached to the slider body. As a result, the slider (entire slider) can be replaced with a desired shape. You can change the shape of your favorite type on a daily basis. feel better. However, the fixed type is not excluded in the present invention.

A portion of the slider adjacent to the maximum width portion preferably has a shape with character. It is a figure. Being a character (figure) that you like makes you feel good. Sales of such pouches would be good.

Specific examples are given below. The invention is not limited only to the following examples. Various modifications and applications are also included in the present invention as long as the features of the present invention are not greatly impaired.

FIG. 1 is an explanatory view of one embodiment of the pouch according to the present invention (a plan view of the pouch in a partially open state (a plan view of the pouch in an upright state)).

The pouch P of the present embodiment uses a resin film A (for example, a rectangle of 17 cm (width) x 15 cm (length)) and a resin film B (for example, a rectangle of 17 cm (width) x 15 cm (length)). configured as follows. The film A and the film B are made of the same (preferably the same) material. The film A and the film B are put together and their three edges (left and right side edges and lower edge) other than the upper edge are thermally welded. A groove (the direction of the groove is the Y (vertical) direction in FIG. 1) is provided at the upper edge of the inner surface of the film A. As shown in FIG. At the upper edge of the inner surface of the film B, a ridge (the direction of the ridge is the Y (vertical) direction in FIG. 1) facing the groove of the film A is provided. The concave streaks of the film A and the protruding streaks of the film B can be fitted and separated. The width of the grooved portion (the width in a plan view (the width direction is the left-right (X) direction in FIG. 1)) is about 1.6 mm. The width of the protruding portion (width in plan view) is about 1.6 mm. The width (the width in a plan view (the width direction is the left-right (X) direction in FIG. 1)) of the grooved portion and the protruded portion in a fitting state is about 2 mm. The pouch P further comprises a slider 300. As shown in FIG. The slider 300 is arranged so as to straddle the concave portion of the film A and the convex portion of the film B. As shown in FIG. The slider 300 has a tongue like a conventional slider. When the slider is slid in the opening direction, the tongue piece enters between the protruding line portion and the recessed line portion that are engaged with each other. As a result, the fitting is released. The mouth of pouch P opens. When the slider 300 is slid in the closing direction, the inner wall of the slider applies a force in the crimping direction to the protrusion and the recess. As a result, the protruding streak and the recessed streak are fitted together. The mouth of pouch P is closed. By moving (sliding) the slider 300 in the left-right direction, the protruding portion and the recessed portion are engaged with each other and separated from each other (the pouch P is closed or opened).

Figure 302 shown in FIG. 1 is part of said slider 300 . In this embodiment, the figure 302 having a certain appearance can be detachably attached to the conventional slider body 301 having a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape (width ≈ 6 mm, height ≈ 7 mm, length ≈ 12 mm). It's becoming For example, a concave portion is formed in the bottom portion of the figure 302 having the shape described above to fit the convex portion provided on the substantially rectangular parallelepiped slider main body 301 . Of course, a structure in which the slider main body 301 and the figure 302 are integrated and inseparable may be used instead of the fitting structure of the recess and the protrusion. The figure 302 is molded from a soft resin such as a rubber material. The maximum width of the slider (figure: character) in plan view was about 14 mm. The maximum height was about 15 mm. The total length was about 38 mm.

In the pouch of this embodiment, the size of the figure (maximum width≈14 mm, length≈38 mm) 302 is larger than the size of the slider main body (width≈6 mm, length≈12 mm). Therefore, it is easy to put a finger (hand) on the slider (figure 302). It was easy to slide the entire slider. In particular, the outline width at the position where the slider (figure 302) is sandwiched between the thumb and index finger is approximately equal to the distance (normal distance) between the thumb and index finger. Therefore, when the slider (figure 302) is pinched between the thumb and index finger, there is no need to increase the pinching force specially (excessively). When the slider is slid, it is not necessary to clamp the slider by applying a special force to the fingers. When the slider is slid, there is no need to open the fingers widely to hold the slider between the fingers. It satisfies the ergonomic point of view. Therefore, it was easy to slide the slider smoothly. Moreover, the direction of the force applied to the slider to slide the slider along the ridges and grooves is substantially parallel to the ridges and grooves. Therefore, an unnecessarily large force is not required. It was easy to slide the slider smoothly. For example, when the slider is slid by pulling a ring attached to the slider, the direction of the force applied from the ring to the slider is oblique (crossing: angle α) with respect to the ridges and grooves. . Therefore, a force of [1/cosα] times must be applied. In contrast, the present invention does not require such extra force. Since the operability of the slider is good, opening and closing work of the pouch was easy.

The sides of the figure 302 are uneven. The unevenness prevents the hand from slipping. It was easy to slide the slider.

The figure 302 is made of soft or elastic material. Therefore, when the slider is held in the hand, it is difficult for the hand to slip. It feels good to the touch. It was easy to slide the slider.

The figure 302 has a shape with character. Therefore, designability is enhanced. Increased willingness to purchase.

The figurine 302 may be, for example, in the shape of a squirrel.
Said figure 302 may for example be in the shape of a dog. The maximum width of the figure 302 in plan view (the width of the body of the dog) was about 14 mm. Grooves (unevennesses) are formed in the body portion. Of course, in consideration of the legs and the like, it can be assumed that this peripheral portion has unevenness. The height of the torso was about 11 mm. The total length was about 40 mm.
Said figure 302 may be, for example, in the shape of a pig. The maximum width (body width) of this figure in plan view was about 21 mm. The height of the head was approximately 20 mm. The total length was about 38 mm.
Even in this embodiment, the same features as those of the above-described embodiment are exhibited.
The figurine may have various shapes (animals, etc.) other than those described above.

A slider for fitting and releasing the recessed line and the projected line in the pouch may be of a split (for example, split into two) type. The slider includes a first slider and a second slider. The first slider is attached to the pouch side so as to be difficult to remove in order to engage and release the recessed line and the projected line in the pouch. The first slider has the same shape and structure as the conventional slider. The second slider is detachably attached to the first slider. The second slider has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped outer shape. The dimension in the longitudinal direction (slider movement direction) is 2 cm to 5 cm (preferably 2 cm to 3 cm). The dimension in the lateral direction (width dimension) is 1 cm to 3 cm (preferably 1.2 cm to 2 cm). Its height dimension is 0.7 cm to 2 cm (preferably 0.8 cm to 1.2 cm). Anti-slip ridges are provided on the sides.
Even in this embodiment, the same features as those of the above-described embodiment are exhibited.
