Description

Bag storage structure

The present invention relates to a bag body storage structure, in particular, after the bag body is folded or rolled, the bag body can be easily and neatly incorporated into the provided storage portion via the belt guide portion and the guide portion.

At present, the common environmental protection shopping bags on the market, in order to facilitate the folding of the bag body for easy carrying, the conventional environmental protection bag usually has a storage bag at the center or bottom corner of the bag body surface. In this way, when the bag body is folded into After a small area, it can be rolled into the storage bag; in addition, there is also a conventional environmental protection bag structure in which the storage bag is folded back to wrap the bag body folded into a small area.

However, the conventional structure in which the storage bag is arranged on the bag body is restricted by the position of the storage bag fixed on the bag body. Therefore, when folding the bag body, the user must avoid the bag body occupied by the storage bag The surface area or the inverted storage bag with various storage structures will cause users to be unable to fold the bag in a fast and standardized way, which is troublesome and time-consuming, and the bag is usually squeezed and tangled into a mass, making it difficult to be neat Folding in the storage bag causes the bag body to produce visually messy wrinkles after being folded or rolled up, which reduces the willingness of users to carry it out, thus greatly reducing the utilization rate of environmentally friendly shopping bags, and it is difficult to achieve repeated use of environmentally friendly bags The environmental protection significance. In addition, the aforementioned combination of storing bags on the bag body follows the old design and cannot attract consumers to purchase and use. On the other hand, since the eco-friendly shopping bag has become a must-have item for people to go shopping in a modern society, it has also been widely used as a gift for major companies or stores to promote buying and image; however, the budget for gifts is extremely low. , So the manufacturer must comply with the low-cost system Various conditions, such as novel and interesting design, easy storage and convenient use, can be used to obtain gift orders. Therefore, how to improve the storage structure of the conventional environmentally friendly shopping bag is poorly designed and the manufacturing cost is too high, which is a major issue that the industry needs to overcome. .

In view of this, the inventor of the present invention has accumulated years of research and practical experience in related fields, and specially created a bag storage structure and a manufacturing method thereof to improve the above-mentioned lack of conventional technology.

The main purpose of the present invention is to provide a bag storage structure, including a combination of a bag body, a guide belt portion, a guide portion and a storage portion, the bag body has a bag mouth, the storage portion is arranged in An opening is provided on the guiding belt portion and the receiving portion, and the bag body can be folded into the receiving portion through the opening. The opening can be set as the first opening. When the bag body function is not required, the bag body can be folded and folded, and the bag body can be folded into the receiving part through the first opening, and when used, it can be expanded to form a shopping The eco-friendly bag meets the environmental protection needs of storage, convenient carrying, and loading of items, and can achieve the effect of folding the bag body easily and neatly and incorporating it into the storage section, so as to increase the utilization rate of eco-friendly shopping bags.
