Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a protective case for clothes and other items, and in particular, a protective case for clothes, etc. (hereinafter simply referred to as "protective case") that can be folded twice and maintains the folded state stably. ).

Conventional protective cases are very inconvenient to use.
For example, it is not easy to fold the protective case and hang it in a closet or the like. A protective case is known in which a relatively hard rod is fixed to either the upper end of the front leaf part or the rear leaf part of the protective case, but in this case, it is difficult to fold it twice, and it is difficult to fold it. It was also difficult to carry the device in its upright position.

The object of the present invention is to solve these drawbacks and problems and provide a protective case that maintains its double-folded state and is easy to carry.

The closed lower end of the present invention has a grip or hanging portion which, when the protective case is folded in half, connects with a similar member provided on the upper end of the front or rear leaf of the protective case to form a normal grip.

In an embodiment of the invention, each of these two gripping parts or hanging parts is connected to a relatively rigid rod, which rods are arranged to be connected to each other. The hanging portion provided at the upper end has a C-shape that opens laterally and has a hook-like shape.

On the other hand, the member provided at the lower end is the same as a normal grip (for example, a grip for a suitcase, etc.).

The C-shaped hook 12 is integrally formed with a rib 13 extending along its entire periphery, and the closed-loop grip portion 4 is integrally formed with partially cut-out ribs 5 and 6 extending along its periphery. Then, when the protective case is folded in half, the hook 12 fits into the notches of the ribs 5 and 6 of the grip part 4, so that the hooks 12 are connected and integrated in a superposed state, so that both 4 and 12 can be gripped with one hand. It is structured as follows.

Furthermore, the present invention also provides means for coupling the upper end of the other leaf to a rod fixed to the upper end of one of the front leaf and the rear leaf in order to close the upper end opening of the protective case and prevent dust from entering. .

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in detail based on the embodiments of the present invention shown in FIGS. 1 to 11.

The protective case 1 shown in FIG. 1 is made of a suitable plastic material, has a hollow planar shape, and is open at its upper end.

A molded lower end rod 2 is fixed to the lower end of the closed opening, and an upper end rod 3 is separately fixed to the upper end of either the overlapping front or rear leaf portion of the protective case 1.

The bottom bar 2 (Figs. 2 and 3) is fixed to the bottom overlapping portion of the protective case 1 by welding or other methods, thereby closing the bottom end. The bottom bar 2 has a trapezoidal grip 4 in the center, the edges of which are reinforced by rib-like rim members 5, 6 formed integrally with the grip. The rim members 5, 6 are partially cut away at either the front or rear of the grip 4 for reasons described below. (In Fig. 2, the rim members are cut away at the front of the grip 4). The grip 4 also has connectors 7, 8, 9, 10, which will be described later. In addition to the grip 4, a protruding piece 11 (Fig. 1) having a connector protrudes from the bottom bar 2.

As described above, the upper end rod 3 is fixed to the upper end of either the overlapping front leaf part or the rear leaf part of the protective case 1. A hook-shaped hook 12 is attached to the center of the upper end rod 3.
is provided. The edge of the hook 12 is reinforced by a rib 13 formed integrally therewith.
The edge material 13 is different from the edge materials 5 and 6 of the grip portion 4 described above, and is continuous without any part missing. Hot 12
has connectors 14, 15, 16. Similar to the lower end rod 2, four protruding pieces 17 protrude from the upper end rod 3, and the protruding pieces 17 are appropriately provided with connectors. Another protrusion piece 18 is provided on the upper end rod 3. The protruding piece 18 has a connector and is located in front of the opening of the hook 12. Furthermore, hook 12
Bent pieces 19 are placed on both the left and right sides of. Bending piece 19
The base is S-shaped and narrow. This facilitates bending. Each of these bent pieces 19 has a connecting tool 20, and in the case of this embodiment, the connecting tool 20 has a protrusion shape (the ninth
figure). The upper end rod 3 further has a tongue piece 21 provided with a connector 22 directly below the bent piece 19 .

The connector 22 of the tongue piece 21 is provided corresponding to the connector 20 of the above-mentioned bent piece 19, and in this embodiment, it is simply hole-shaped.

Finally, a downward protrusion 23 is provided at the center of the upper end bar 3, and the protrusion 23 has a ring 2 with a square cross section.
It has 4.

The protective case 1 is used as follows.

Put the protective case 1 in the unfolded state as shown in Figure 1,
Clothes 25 are stored in the protective case 1.

The clothes 25 are hung on a hanger 26, and the hook 27 of the hanger 26 is hooked onto the ring 24 (FIG. 7). The ring 24 therefore functions as a hanging ring.

When closing the upper end opening of the protective case 1, the S-shaped bent piece 19 is bent 180 degrees downward, and its protrusion 20 is pushed into the hole 22 of the tongue piece 21. In this case, the protrusion 20 will penetrate the front leaf part 1a (FIG. 1) of the protective case (FIG. 9). The state where the upper end opening of the protective case 1 described above is closed is the seventh,
Shown in Figures 8 and 9. In particular, FIG. 9 shows the bent piece 19 in a bent state. In this case, since the lower part of the bending piece 19 is S-shaped, it can be easily bent without breaking.

When folding clothes twice to reduce the bulk of the protective case, pull up the lower end rod 2 to the upper end rod 3 (Figure 10). In this case, the projecting pieces 11 and 17 are located facing each other and can be connected. The protruding piece 11 located at the lower end of the protective case 1 includes, for example, a protruding body, and the protruding piece 17 at the upper end has a hole into which the protruding body is inserted.

On the other hand, the grip portion 4 is located alongside the hook 12 when the protective case 1 is folded. Connectors 7, 8, 9 on the grip part 4 and connectors 14 on the hook 12,
15 and 16 are each positioned to jointly perform a coupling function. For example, the connectors 7, 8, 9, 10 on the grip part 4 are simply holes, and the hooks 12
The connectors 14, 15, 16 are protrusions inserted into the holes.

The connectors 7, 8, 9, and 14, 15, 16 are connected to each other to maintain the folded state of the protective case. FIG. 11 shows a state in which the grip portion 4 and the hook 12 are connected as described above.

As FIG. 11 clearly shows, the hook 12 is located on the back side of the grip portion 4 in FIG.
Since the grip portion 4 and the hook 12 come into contact with the partially missing surface, the thickness will not increase unnecessarily even when the grip portion 4 and the hook 12 are combined. In addition, since the two are closely joined, there is no possibility that they will shift from each other.

The connector provided on the protruding piece 18 on the upper end bar 3 is coupled to the connector 10 on the grip part 4, thereby connecting the upper end bar 3 and the lower end bar 2 more strongly.

The length of the protective case folded in this way is halved, allowing it to be easily carried around like a regular handbag.

If you want to hang it in a wardrobe or closet, it is enough to simply fold it back up.

It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the configurations of the embodiments, but may be modified as appropriate within the scope of the invention.

In particular, the foldable protective case according to the present invention is initially used for transporting clothes from the store where they were purchased, but can also be used to store them in, for example, suitcases and other places. Of course.

According to the present invention, the hook 12 allows the protective case to be suspended in an extended state from a hanging rod of a wardrobe, etc., and the hook 12 and the grip portion 4
By integrating the protective case in a polymerized manner, the protective case can be easily carried in a folded state.

In addition, C-shaped hook-like hanging braces like Hook 12 can be hung on wardrobe hanging rods, etc., unlike closed-loop hanging braces, but on the other hand, they are weak in strength. However, in the present invention, since the ribs 13 are integrally formed along the entire circumference of the hook 12, the hook 12 is reinforced by the ribs 13, and its strength can be improved.

Furthermore, when the grip part 4 and the hook 12 are combined and integrated, the hook 12 is fitted into the notch part of the ribs 5 and 6 of the grip part 4, so that the connected state of both 4 and 12 is shifted. The ribs 5, 6, 1 of both 4, 12 are secured without causing
3 are combined as a series of ribs without overlapping, that is, the overlapped thickness of both 4 and 12 becomes the rib 5,
6 and 13, the protective case does not become thicker than necessary, and the protective case can be easily carried. That is, although the closed-loop grip portion 4 and the C-shaped hook 12 are connected, the two 4 and 12 are integrated as one closed-loop body without causing any discomfort. The protective case feels like a handbag, making it easy to carry.
