- the resulting bag is not suitable to carry objects, because it is occupied by the garment.
- Jackets convertible into bags or back packs suitable to carry objects are also known.
- U.S. Pat. No. 2,959,789 discloses for example a transformable jacket comprising an opening for the neck of a wearer, an opening for the waist of the wearer and two sleeves, provided with a closure extending substantially also around the neck opening.
- the sleeves are turned inside out into the jacket and the closure completely closes the neck opening, while the waist opening is closed by way of a slidable string operable around it.
- the international publication WO 2008/135782 discloses a jacket transformable into a bag, back pack and the like, and a method for performing the transformation, wherein the neck opening of the jacket is closed by operating first closure means that extend from a common point below the neck on the back of the garment, over the shoulders on either side of the neck opening down the front of the garment.
- a first advantage of the system according to the invention is that thanks to the presence of a protective sheet that may be withdrawn from a suitable compartment when the system is used in the bag mode, it is possible to provide the bag with a bottom part that prevents soiling thereof when it is placed e.g. on the ground. This allows to keep the system clean especially in view of its use as a jacket, parka and the like.
- Another advantage of the system according to the invention is that thanks to the presence of a turnover flap suitable to be arranged on the waist opening of the jacket or parka, it is possible to improve the closure of the waist opening, thereby avoiding accidental escape of small objects that may be present in the bag when the system is used in the bag mode.
- a further advantage of the system according to the present invention is that thanks to two internal pockets suitable to accommodate the two sleeves of the jacket or parka when the system is used in the bag mode, it is possible to avoid that the passages within the sleeves form an escape path for one or more of the objects contained in the bag. Moreover, the internal pockets prevent the sleeves from moving inside the system when used in the bag mode, thus avoiding interferences with a correct arrangement of the objects present in the bag.

Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a system usable in two modes, having the form of an article of clothing for an upper body portion, and in particular to a jacket, a parka and similar garments transformable into a bag or a back pack.
- Garments having a dual function, e.g. jackets transformable into bags, are already known and have been conceived in order to minimize the size of a garment when it is not worn. However, in these cases the resulting bag is not suitable to carry objects, because it is occupied by the garment.
- Jackets convertible into bags or back packs suitable to carry objects are also known.
- U.S. Pat. No. 2,959,789 discloses for example a transformable jacket comprising an opening for the neck of a wearer, an opening for the waist of the wearer and two sleeves, provided with a closure extending substantially also around the neck opening. In order to transform the jacket into a bag, the sleeves are turned inside out into the jacket and the closure completely closes the neck opening, while the waist opening is closed by way of a slidable string operable around it.
- The international publication WO 2008/135782 discloses a jacket transformable into a bag, back pack and the like, and a method for performing the transformation, wherein the neck opening of the jacket is closed by operating first closure means that extend from a common point below the neck on the back of the garment, over the shoulders on either side of the neck opening down the front of the garment.
- It is an object of the present invention to provide a system transformable from a jacket, parka and the like into a bag and vice versa of an improved type. Said object is achieved with a system usable in two modes, having the form of a garment for an upper portion of the body of a wearer, whose main features are disclosed in the first claim, while other features are disclosed in the remaining claims.
- A first advantage of the system according to the invention is that thanks to the presence of a protective sheet that may be withdrawn from a suitable compartment when the system is used in the bag mode, it is possible to provide the bag with a bottom part that prevents soiling thereof when it is placed e.g. on the ground. This allows to keep the system clean especially in view of its use as a jacket, parka and the like.
- Another advantage of the system according to the invention is that thanks to the presence of a turnover flap suitable to be arranged on the waist opening of the jacket or parka, it is possible to improve the closure of the waist opening, thereby avoiding accidental escape of small objects that may be present in the bag when the system is used in the bag mode.
- A further advantage of the system according to the present invention is that thanks to two internal pockets suitable to accommodate the two sleeves of the jacket or parka when the system is used in the bag mode, it is possible to avoid that the passages within the sleeves form an escape path for one or more of the objects contained in the bag. Moreover, the internal pockets prevent the sleeves from moving inside the system when used in the bag mode, thus avoiding interferences with a correct arrangement of the objects present in the bag.
- Further advantages and features of system the according to the present invention will become clear to those skilled in the art from the following detailed and non-limiting description of embodiments thereof with reference to the attached drawings, wherein:
-

FIG. 12 , shows a further view of a system according to the embodiment ofFIG. 10 ; -
FIG. 13 shows a view of the system ofFIG. 10 in a first step of the transformation into the bag mode; -
FIG. 14 shows a view of the system ofFIG. 10 in a further step of the transformation into the bag mode; -
FIG. 15 shows a view of the system ofFIG. 10 in still a further step of the transformation into the bag mode: -
FIG. 16 shows a view of the system ofFIG. 10 in a bag mode; -
FIG. 17 shows a view of a system according to a third embodiment of the invention in a down jacket mode. - Referring to
FIGS. 1 and 2 , it may be seen that the system according to the present invention has the form of a garment for an upper body portion. In particular, in a first embodiment of the invention the system has the form of a parka. - The system according to the invention comprises a
central body 1 suitable to cover the torso of a wearer and twosleeves 5. Thecentral body 1 is provided with anopening 2 for the waist of the wearer, anopening 3 for the neck of the wearer and afrontal opening 4 extending between said neck opening 3 and said waist opening 2. - The system according to the invention may also advantageously comprise a
hood 6, which may be connected to thecentral body 1 in a removable or a fixed way. - The
central body 1 is also provided with fastening means 7 allowing substantially a complete closure of thefrontal opening 4 and of theneck opening 3. -
FIG. 1 shows the system according to the present invention closed by way of said fastening means 7 so as to show an external side thereof. In the present disclosure and in the claims, the wording “external side” of the system according to the present invention means the side that is not in contact with the torso of the wearer, whereas the wording “internal side” means the side that is in contact or faces the torso of the wearer. - The fastening means 7 are preferably comprised of a zip having a bidirectional slider. Other suitable fastening means may be comprised of e.g. buttons, hooks or hook and loop strips.
- When a
hood 6 is provided, this may be closed by the fasting means 7 as well, which thus extend between the waist opening 2 and the farthermost end of thehood 6 with respect to thecentral body 1. - The
waist opening 2 is reducible by way of aslidable string 11 inserted in a suitable seat proximate to the waist opening 2. - The system may also comprise a
belt 8 that may be used as a strap when the system is used in the bag mode, and one ormore pockets 9. - Moreover, the
central body 1 advantageously comprises twofurther pockets 10 that are preferably closable and are arranged on the two sides of the fastening means 7. Inside the pocketsextractable grips 15 are arranged, that may be seen inFIG. 6 and allow to hand carry the system when it is used in the bag mode. -
FIG. 3 shows thecentral body 1 in an open condition so as to show its internal side. As shown in this FIG., an internaldetachable padding 12 may advantageously be arranged on the internal side of thecentral body 1. Thepadding 12 may be fixed to thecentral body 1 by any known means, e.g. by way of buttons, pressure buttons, zip fasteners or hook and loop strips. -
FIG. 4 shows the system according to the invention, wherein thepadding 12 has been removed. - The transformation of the system from the jacket or parka mode to the bag mode requires to turn the
sleeves 5 inside out into the jacket or parka. As shown inFIG. 4 , thecentral body 1 is also preferably provided with twointernal pockets 14 suitable to receive thesleeves 5 turned inside out in one of the system modes. In this way, when the system is used in the bag mode it is possible to prevent one or more objects contained inside the bag from accidentally entering in either of the sleeves and come out from the bag therethrough. Moreover, theinternal pockets 14 also have the purpose to prevent thesleeves 5 to move inside the system when used in the bag mode, thus hindering the arrangement of the objects. - At this stage the fastening means 7 are completely closed.
- Still with reference to
FIG. 4 , it may be seen that aturnover flap 13 is connected to thecentral body 1. Theturnover flap 13 is suitable to rest on thewaist opening 2 thus closing it completely in order to allow the transformation of the system from the jacket or parka mode to the bag mode. - The
central body 1 advantageously comprises connecting means suitable to block theturnover flap 13 in at least two positions, wherein in a first position theturnover flap 13 is arranged substantially parallel to a portion of thecentral body 1 and in a second position theturnover flap 13 closes thewaist opening 2. Examples of suitable connecting means are e.g. buttons, pressure buttons, zip fasteners or hook and loop strips. - In the first position, when the system is used in the jacket or parka mode, the
turnover flap 13 is therefore blocked against thecentral body 1, e.g. it may be arranged parallel to the portion of thecentral body 1 intended to cover the back of the wearer. Theturnover flap 13 may be fixed in the first position by way of buttons or by way of a seam and two or more buttons or other connecting means. - As shown in the transparent view of
FIG. 5 , in order to carry out the transformation into the bag mode, once closed the fastening means 7 theturnover flap 13 is rotated around one of its edges, e.g. a sewn edge, so as to arrange it substantially parallel to the waist opening 2 by resting it thereon. The buttons or other connecting means are then engaged in the second position so as to hold theturnover flap 13 in this position parallel to the waist opening 2. - The
slidable string 11 is then made to slide within its seat so as to reduce thewaist opening 2, where theturnover flap 13 rests as shown inFIG. 6 . Theturnover flap 13 thus completes the closure of thewaist opening 2. - The
grips 15 are then extracted from thepockets 10 arranged on the two sides of the fastening means 7 in order to allow to transport the system in the bag mode by hand. -
FIG. 7 shows in a transparent view the position of theturnover flap 13 in the system transformed in the bag mode. -
FIG. 8 shows that thehood 6 is then folded back onto the portion of thecentral body 1 opposite to the fastening means 7, i.e. the portion that will serve as the bag bottom. Thehood 6 may be conveniently fitted in asuitable compartment 16, shown inFIG. 2 , formed within thecentral body 1 opposite to the fastening means 7 and preferably proximate to theneck opening 2. - As shown in
FIG. 9 , thecompartment 16 contains aprotective sheet 17 that is withdrawn therefrom when the system is used in the bag mode and fixed in an extended disposition to an external side of thecentral body 1, thus defining a bottom part of the bag suitable to protect it against soiling, in particular in view of its transformation back into the jacket or parka mode. In the embodiment shown inFIG. 9 , theprotective sheet 17 is arranged so as to cover the whole portion of the bag opposite to the fastening means 7, thus allowing to easily open and access the bag when this is e.g. on the ground. -
FIG. 9 also shows that thebelt 8 is preferably provided with closure hooks 8 a that can be engaged with each other but also withsuitable clasps 18 of the system provided on thecentral body 1. The fixing of theprotective sheet 17 and of thebelt 8 are thus the final steps of the very easy transformation of the system from the jacket or parka mode to the bag mode. -
FIGS. 10 to 12 show different views of a second embodiment of the system according to the present invention, that is transformable from a jacket into a bag. - Also in this case the system comprises a
central body 19 suitable to cover the torso of a wearer and provided with anopening 20 for the waist of a wearer, anopening 21 for the neck of the wearer and afrontal opening 22 extending between theneck opening 21 and thewaist opening 20, as well as twosleeves 23. - The
central body 19 is provided with ahood 24 and with fastening means 25 substantially allowing to close thefrontal opening 22 and theneck opening 21, while thewaist opening 20 is reducible by means of aslidable string 26. - Also this embodiment advantageously comprises a
belt 27 provided with hooks 27 a that can be engaged with each other, but also tosuitable clasps 28 fixed to thecentral body 19, as well aspockets 29 arranged on the two sides of the fastening means 25 and suitable to containextractable grips 30 allowing to transport the system in the bag mode, and adetachable padding 31. -
FIG. 13 shows that also in this embodiment aturnover flap 32 is arranged on the portion of thecentral body 19 that covers the back of the user and is suitable to rest on thewaist opening 20 when the system is used in the bag mode, thus substantially closing this opening. - The
central body 19 is provided also in this case with twointernal pockets 33 adapted to receive the twosleeves 23 turned inside out into thecentral body 19, and thehood 24 that is also closable by the fastening means 25. -
FIGS. 14 to 16 show the various transformation steps of the system into a bag, that are wholly similar to those shown with reference to the first embodiment of the invention. Also in this case in fact the fastening means 25 are closed up to the farthermost end of thehood 24 with respect to thecentral body 19, then theturnover flap 32 is arranged and fixed onto thewaist opening 20, which is then reduced by means of theslidable string 26. - Subsequently, a
protective sheet 35 is extracted from a compartment 34 arranged proximate to theneck opening 21 and shown inFIG. 11 . Theprotective sheet 35 is fixed in an extended disposition to an external side of thecentral body 19 opposite to the fastening means 25. Thehood 24 is then inserted into the compartment 34 and thebelt 27 is withdrawn from its loops and engaged with theclasps 28 of thecentral body 19. - Finally,
FIG. 17 shows a third embodiment of the invention that is transformable from a down jacket into a bag. This embodiment comprises all the essential features of the previous embodiments and differs therefrom in the aesthetic aspect only. - Possible modifications and/or additions may be made by those skilled in the art to the hereinabove disclosed and illustrated embodiment while remaining within the scope of the following claims.
