Description

バッグの緩衝具Bag buffer
 本発明は、バッグの緩衝具に関し、手提げタイプ、肩掛けタイプ、背負いタイプおよびそれらを2つ以上兼用するタイプのバッグに適用され、使用者の手、腕、肩、背中への負担を軽減するバッグの緩衝具であって、特に、ショルダーベルト、皮紐、バンド等で肩に掛ける形態とすることが可能で且つ比較的重量のある物が収納され得る各種バッグ、例えば、ゴルフバッグ、ボストンバッグ、トランク、旅行用バスケット、スポーツバッグ、リュックサック、ビジネスバッグ、スーツケース、道具袋、買物袋、その他の種々のバッグに適用されてより一層好適なバッグの緩衝具に関する。 The present invention relates to a shock absorber for a bag, and is applied to a hand-held type, a shoulder type, a backpack type, and a bag that combines two or more of them, and reduces the burden on the user's hand, arm, shoulder, and back. In particular, various kinds of bags that can be placed on the shoulder with a shoulder belt, leather strap, band, etc. and can store relatively heavy items, such as golf bags, Boston bags, The present invention relates to a shock absorber for a bag that is more suitable for application to trunks, travel baskets, sports bags, rucksacks, business bags, suitcases, tool bags, shopping bags, and other various bags.
 本発明の背景となる従来のゴルフバッグには、例えばゴルフバッグ本体の上端部に一端が固定され、他端がゴルフバッグ本体の中間部まで延長されて固定され、全長にわたってタイトに固定される取っ手を備えたものがある(例えば、特許文献1参照。)。
 この取っ手は、特に、肩ベルトが掛けられるゴルフバッグの上端部の上部リングに一端部が固定され、肩ベルトの他端部が掛けられるゴルフバッグの中間部の下部リングに他端部が固定されて、ゴルフバッグの重量中心の移動に応じて把持位置の移動が可能なものとなっている。そのため、ゴルフバッグの重量中心と把持位置とは、共通の垂直線上に位置して回転モーメントが発生しないか小さいものとなり、ゴルフバッグの重量のみが掛かるので、ゴルフバッグを容易に持ち運べるものとなっている。
 また、この取っ手には、縦方向に多数の固定溝または固定リングが離隔形成され、この固定溝または固定リングにより、ゴルフバッグの重量中心に応じて、当該重量中心に近接した位置に、肩ベルトの固定位置を調整することができるものとなっている。そのため、肩ベルトを肩に掛けたときに、バランスよくゴルフバッグを担いで、より容易にゴルフバッグを持ち運べるものとなっている。
In the conventional golf bag as the background of the present invention, for example, a handle having one end fixed to the upper end portion of the golf bag main body and the other end extended and fixed to the intermediate portion of the golf bag main body and fixed tightly over the entire length (For example, refer to Patent Document 1).
In particular, one end of the handle is fixed to the upper ring at the upper end of the golf bag on which the shoulder belt is hung, and the other end is fixed to the lower ring at the middle of the golf bag on which the other end of the shoulder belt is hung. Thus, the gripping position can be moved in accordance with the movement of the weight center of the golf bag. Therefore, the weight center of the golf bag and the gripping position are located on a common vertical line so that a rotational moment is not generated or is small, and only the weight of the golf bag is applied, so that the golf bag can be easily carried. Yes.
In addition, a number of fixing grooves or fixing rings are formed in the handle in the vertical direction so as to be separated from the shoulder belt at positions close to the center of weight according to the center of weight of the golf bag. The fixing position can be adjusted. Therefore, when the shoulder belt is put on the shoulder, the golf bag is carried in a well-balanced manner and can be carried more easily.

 ところが、このような従来のゴルフバッグでは、上記したように、それを持ち運ぶ際には便利なものとなっているものの、10数本のゴルフクラブ、ゴルフボール、ゴルフ用靴等のゴルフ用品が収納されたゴルフバッグは、その重量が10数Kg~20数Kgの重量物となるため、例えば、ゴルフバッグを持ち運んでいるときの状態から、ゴルフバッグを所望の場所に自立させた状態に配置する場合、使用者に大きな負担を掛けるものとなっていた。 However, in such a conventional golf bag, as described above, although it is convenient when carrying it, it contains 10 or more golf clubs, golf balls, golf shoes, etc. Since the weight of the golf bag thus obtained is a heavy article having a weight of several tens of kilograms to several tens of kilograms, for example, the golf bag is placed in a state where it is self-supporting from a state where the golf bag is being carried. In such a case, a heavy burden is placed on the user.
 すなわち、この従来のゴルフバッグでは、一方の手で取っ手を把持した状態から、ゴルフバッグを自立させる場合、例えば、把持している手でゴルフバッグを持ち上げながら、もう一方の手でゴルフバッグの高さ方向の中間部を抱えるようにして引き起こした後、ゴルフバッグを自立させる動作が必要となる。また、肩ベルトを肩に掛けた状態から、ゴルフバッグを自立させる場合、例えば、一旦、一方の手で取っ手を把持すると共に、もう一方の手で上部リング側の肩ベルトの部位を把持した後、ゴルフバッグを自立させる動作が必要となる。前者の場合および後者の場合の両方とも、一連の動作をスムーズに行なうことは困難であると共に、一連の動作に起因して、使用者に対しては、大きな負担を掛けるものとなっていた。 That is, in this conventional golf bag, when the golf bag is to be self-supporting from a state in which the handle is held with one hand, for example, the golf bag is lifted with the other hand while the golf bag is lifted with the other hand. After causing the intermediate portion in the vertical direction to be held, an operation to make the golf bag self-supporting is required. In addition, when the golf bag is to be self-supported from the state where the shoulder belt is hung on the shoulder, for example, after gripping the handle with one hand and the shoulder belt part on the upper ring side with the other hand. The operation | movement which makes a golf bag self-supporting is needed. In both the former case and the latter case, it is difficult to perform a series of operations smoothly, and a heavy burden is imposed on the user due to the series of operations.
 ところで、この従来のゴルフバッグにおいて、上記したように、取っ手を把持した状態ないし肩ベルトを肩に掛けた状態から、当該ゴルフバッグを自立させる場合に、例えば、取っ手の把持位置および肩ベルトの肩掛け位置を変更し、ゴルフバッグの重量中心の位置と、取っ手の把持位置ないし肩ベルトの肩掛け位置とが垂直線上で一致しないように偏移させ、当該ゴルフバッグを回転させることにより、ゴルフバッグを自立させることが考えられる。つまり、取っ手の把持位置または肩ベルトの肩掛け位置を中心にして発生する回転モーメントを利用することにより、ゴルフバッグを自立させる方向に回転させて床面や地面に立て置くようにするものである。 By the way, in this conventional golf bag, as described above, when the golf bag is made to stand independently from a state where the handle is gripped or a state where the shoulder belt is hung on the shoulder, for example, the gripping position of the handle and the shoulder belt shoulder strap The position of the golf bag is changed so that the position of the center of weight of the golf bag and the gripping position of the handle or the shoulder strap position of the shoulder belt do not coincide with each other on the vertical line, and the golf bag is rotated so that the golf bag becomes independent. It is possible to make it. In other words, the golf bag is rotated in a self-supporting direction and placed on the floor surface or the ground by using a rotational moment generated around the gripping position of the handle or the shoulder position of the shoulder belt.
 ところが、ゴルフバッグを自立させる方向に回転させるとき、回転モーメントの力が付加されたゴルフバッグの総重量は、大きな荷重となって、瞬間的に使用者の手首、腕、肘、肩、背中、腰、膝等に作用し、相当の負担が掛かるものとなっていた。この場合、ゴルフバッグの収納物の重量が大きくなればなるほど、ゴルフバッグの総重量も大きくなって、前記回転モーメントもさらに大きいものとなるので、瞬間的に使用者に掛かる荷重も大きいものとなる。したがって、使用者に対しては、より一層、大きな負担を掛けるものとなっていた。 However, when the golf bag is rotated in a self-supporting direction, the total weight of the golf bag to which the force of the rotational moment is applied becomes a heavy load, and the user's wrist, arm, elbow, shoulder, back, It acted on the waist, knees, etc., and it took a considerable burden. In this case, the greater the weight of the golf bag storage, the greater the total weight of the golf bag and the greater the rotational moment, so the load on the user instantaneously increases. . Therefore, the burden is even greater on the user.
 一方で、このような従来のゴルフバッグでは、自立させた状態から、それを持ち運ぶために、その場で瞬時に、取っ手を把持してゴルフバッグを持ち上げる場合、あるいは、肩ベルトを肩に掛けてゴルフバッグを担ぎ上げたりする場合、さらに、肩ベルトを担いだ状態で、階段やゴルフ場の起伏のある場所を歩行する場合に、使用者の手首、腕、肩、背中、腰、肘、膝等に大きな動荷重(衝撃荷重および繰返し荷重)を掛けるものとなり、これまた、使用者に大きな負担を強いるものであった。 On the other hand, in such a conventional golf bag, in order to carry it from a self-supported state, when holding the handle and lifting the golf bag instantaneously on the spot, or by hanging a shoulder belt on the shoulder When carrying a golf bag or when walking on a rugged place on a staircase or golf course while carrying a shoulder belt, the user's wrist, arm, shoulder, back, waist, elbow, knee In other words, a large dynamic load (impact load and repetitive load) is applied to the user, and this places a heavy burden on the user.
  そこで、本発明の発明者は、上記したような問題点を解消するために、例えば、その一端部がゴルフバッグの上端部の上部リングに係止され、且つ、その他端部がゴルフバッグの中間部の下部リングに係止された肩ベルトにおいて、当該上部リングと肩ベルトの一端部との間に、図29に示す緩衝具1を配設することを考案した。 Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, the inventor of the present invention, for example, has one end locked to the upper ring of the upper end of the golf bag and the other end is the middle of the golf bag. 29, the shock absorber 1 shown in FIG. 29 is arranged between the upper ring and one end of the shoulder belt.
 すなわち、この緩衝具1は、たとえば図26の(A),(B),(C)に示すように、円筒状のケース2を含み、ケース2の軸方向の一端側および他端側には、それぞれ、カバー3aおよび3bが形成される。カバー3a,3bは、その略中央に貫通孔4a,4bを有する。ケース2とカバー3a,3bとの接続部は、例えば、インサート成形によってねじ式の接続構造を有する。ケース2の中には、緩衝体として、長さ方向を有する引張コイルばね5が収納される。この引張コイルばね5は、一定の内径で複数巻回したばね鋼線材同士を密着させる方向に力が作用する弾性部材である。また、引張コイルばね5の長さ方向の両側の端末部には、フック状に加工された一対のフック部5a,5bが形成される。 That is, the shock absorber 1 includes a cylindrical case 2 as shown in FIGS. 26A, 26B, and 26C, for example, on one end side and the other end side of the case 2 in the axial direction. The covers 3a and 3b are formed, respectively. The covers 3a and 3b have through holes 4a and 4b at substantially the center thereof. The connection part of case 2 and cover 3a, 3b has a screw-type connection structure by insert molding, for example. In the case 2, a tension coil spring 5 having a length direction is accommodated as a buffer. The tension coil spring 5 is an elastic member in which a force acts in a direction in which a plurality of spring steel wires wound with a constant inner diameter are brought into close contact with each other. In addition, a pair of hook portions 5 a and 5 b processed into a hook shape are formed at both end portions in the longitudinal direction of the tension coil spring 5.
 さらに、一対のフック部5a,5bには、リードバー6a,6bが係着される。リードバー6a,6bは、その軸方向の両側に長孔7,7を有する。一対のフック部5a,5bは、それぞれ、リードバー6a,6bの軸方向の一方側の長孔7,7に係着される。リードバー6a,6bの軸方向の他方側の長孔7,7は、それぞれ、カバー3a,3bの外側に露出されるように、リードバー6a,6bの軸方向の他端側が、カバー3a,3bの貫通孔4a,4bに挿通される。また、カバー3a,3bの外側に露出されたリードバー6a,6bの長孔7,7には、それぞれ、二重リング等の連結環8a,8bが取着される。 Further, lead bars 6a and 6b are engaged with the pair of hook portions 5a and 5b. The lead bars 6a and 6b have long holes 7 and 7 on both sides in the axial direction. The pair of hook portions 5a and 5b are respectively engaged with the long holes 7 and 7 on one side in the axial direction of the lead bars 6a and 6b. The other end side in the axial direction of the lead bars 6a, 6b is connected to the cover 3a, so that the long holes 7, 7 on the other side in the axial direction of the lead bars 6a, 6b are exposed to the outside of the covers 3a, 3b, respectively. The through holes 4a and 4b of 3b are inserted. Further, connecting rings 8a and 8b such as double rings are attached to the long holes 7 and 7 of the lead bars 6a and 6b exposed to the outside of the covers 3a and 3b, respectively.
 この緩衝具1は、一方の連結環8aが当該ゴルフバッグの上部リングに取着され、他方の連結環8bが肩ベルトの一端部に取着されることによって、ゴルフバッグの肩ベルトに取り付けられる。このゴルフバッグでは、肩ベルトに配設した緩衝具1の緩衝作用によって、ゴルフバッグの重量による動荷重は緩和され、使用者の手首、腕、肩、背中、腰、肘、膝等に掛かる負担が軽減される。 The shock absorber 1 is attached to the shoulder belt of the golf bag by attaching one connecting ring 8a to the upper ring of the golf bag and attaching the other connecting ring 8b to one end of the shoulder belt. . In this golf bag, the dynamic load due to the weight of the golf bag is mitigated by the buffering action of the shock absorber 1 disposed on the shoulder belt, and the load on the wrist, arm, shoulder, back, waist, elbow, knee, etc. of the user. Is reduced.
 しかしながら、この緩衝具1では、緩衝体として、引張コイルばね5が形成され、この引張コイルばね5の両端末部には、ばね鋼線材の端部を加工して係着用のフック部5a,5bが形成され、フック部5a,5bの形成には急激な形状変化を伴うものとなっている。そのため、緩衝具1に大きな動荷重(衝撃荷重および繰返し荷重)が作用したとき、フック部5a,5bの根元部において応力集中による疲労破壊が発生してフック部5a,5bの根元部およびフック部5a,5bとリードバー6a,6bとの係着箇所が破損することがあり、延いては、当該破損時の衝撃によってカバー3a,3bも破損することがあった。したがって、この緩衝具1では、安定的に緩衝機能を発揮させることができず、その結果、当該緩衝具1がセットされたバッグを携行した場合、使用者の手、腕、肩、背中への負担を軽減することができない虞があった。 However, in this shock absorber 1, a tension coil spring 5 is formed as a shock absorber, and hook ends 5a, 5b are formed by processing end portions of spring steel wires at both ends of the tension coil spring 5. Is formed, and the formation of the hook portions 5a and 5b is accompanied by an abrupt shape change. Therefore, when a large dynamic load (impact load and repetitive load) is applied to the shock absorber 1, fatigue failure due to stress concentration occurs at the root portions of the hook portions 5 a and 5 b, and the root portions and the hook portions of the hook portions 5 a and 5 b. The engaging portion between the lead bars 6a and 6b may be damaged, and the cover 3a and 3b may also be damaged due to the impact at the time of the damage. Therefore, the shock absorber 1 cannot stably exhibit the shock absorbing function, and as a result, when the bag with the shock absorber 1 set is carried, it is applied to the user's hand, arm, shoulder, and back. There was a possibility that the burden could not be reduced.
 また、この緩衝具1では、円筒状のケース2の中に、引張コイルばね5のフック部5a,5bとリードバー6a,6bとを係着させた状態で収納した後、ケース2とカバー3a,3bとをねじ接続し、さらに、リードバー6a,6bと連結環8a,8bとを取着することにより、当該緩衝具1が組付けられるため、複雑で且つ脆弱な組付け構造を有するものとなり、また、組付け作業にも手間が掛かるものとなっている。 Further, in the shock absorber 1, after the hook portions 5a, 5b of the tension coil spring 5 and the lead bars 6a, 6b are housed in the cylindrical case 2, the case 2 and the cover 3a are stored. , 3b are connected by screws, and further, the buffer 1 is assembled by attaching the lead bars 6a, 6b and the connecting rings 8a, 8b, so that it has a complicated and fragile assembly structure In addition, the assembling work takes time and effort.
 さらに、この緩衝具1では、引張コイルばね5のフック部5a,5bを、リードバー6a,6bおよび連結環8a,8bを介して、被取付体対象に取り付けられるので、ケース2内におけるフック部5a,5bおよびリードバー6a,6bの占有するスペースが長くなる上、一方で、引張コイルばね5の緩衝動作に関わる有効長を十分に確保し、緩衝機能を有効に発揮させるためには、当該引張コイルばね5の有効長を長くする必要があるので、どうしても、当該引張コイルばね5を組み込むスペースも長くなる。そのため、この緩衝具1では、ケース2の長さが長くなり、延いては、緩衝具1の全長も長くならざるを得ない。すなわち、この緩衝具1では、比較的長さの短いスペースに、十分に緩衝機能を発揮させるための有効長を確保しつつ、緩衝体を組み込むことが困難なものとなっていた。
 したがって、この緩衝具1では、ゴルフバッグ以外にも、手提げタイプ、肩掛けタイプ、背負いタイプおよびそれらを2つ以上兼用するタイプのバッグ、例えば、ボストンバッグ、トランク、旅行用バスケット、スポーツバッグ、リュックサック、ビジネスバッグ、スーツケース、道具袋、買物袋などに採用するのには、不向きなものであった。
Further, in this shock absorber 1, the hook portions 5a, 5b of the tension coil spring 5 are attached to the object to be attached via the lead bars 6a, 6b and the connecting rings 8a, 8b. In addition to increasing the space occupied by 5a, 5b and the lead bars 6a, 6b, on the other hand, in order to ensure a sufficient effective length related to the buffering operation of the tension coil spring 5 and to effectively exhibit the buffering function, Since the effective length of the tension coil spring 5 needs to be increased, the space for incorporating the tension coil spring 5 is inevitably increased. Therefore, in this shock absorber 1, the length of the case 2 becomes long, and the total length of the shock absorber 1 must be long. That is, with this shock absorber 1, it has been difficult to incorporate a shock absorber while ensuring an effective length for sufficiently exerting a shock absorbing function in a relatively short space.
Therefore, in this shock absorber 1, in addition to the golf bag, a hand bag type, a shoulder bag type, a backpack type, and a bag that combines two or more of them, for example, a Boston bag, a trunk, a travel basket, a sports bag, a rucksack It was unsuitable for use in business bags, suitcases, tool bags, shopping bags, etc.
 それゆえに、本発明の主たる目的は、強固で簡単な組付け構造を有し、安定的に緩衝機能を発揮させることができる、バッグの緩衝具を提供することであり、他の目的は、比較的長さの短いコンパクトなバッグの緩衝具を提供することである。本発明のさらに他の目的は、使用者に負担をかけることなく、簡単にゴルフバッグを所望の場所に自立させた状態で配置するゴルフバッグの自立誘導具として用いることが可能なバッグの緩衝具を提供することである。 Therefore, a main object of the present invention is to provide a bag cushioning device having a strong and simple assembly structure and capable of stably exhibiting a buffering function. It is to provide a compact bag cushion having a short target length. Still another object of the present invention is to provide a shock absorber for a bag that can be used as a self-supporting guiding tool for a golf bag in which a golf bag is simply placed in a desired position without being burdened on a user. Is to provide.
 請求項1に係る本発明は、バッグ本体と、バッグ本体に設けられ、バッグ本体を持ち運ぶのに用いられるハンドルおよび/またはショルダーベルトとを含むバッグに用いられる、バッグの緩衝具であって、筒状のケースと、外周面に突縁部を有し、ケース内の軸方向の一方側に組み付けられる筒状の支持部材と、ケースの軸方向に変位自在となるように支持部材に挿嵌され、その軸方向の一端側がバッグに直接または間接に取り付けられる案内ロッドと、案内ロッドの軸方向に沿って案内ロッドの周囲に配置され、コイル中心線の長さ方向に圧縮荷重を受けるコイルばねと、案内ロッドの軸方向の他端側に配設され、ケースおよび案内ロッドが互いに離れる方向に相対的に変位したときに、コイルばねを支持部材側に圧縮する押圧部と、ケースの軸方向の他方側に、咬合部により支持されるように組み付けられ、バッグに直接または間接に取り付けられる連結部とを含み、支持部材は、案内ロッドの軸方向でみて、コイルばねの圧縮方向に配置されていることを特徴とする、バッグの緩衝具である。
 請求項1に係る本発明によれば、上記した構成を有しているので、ハンドルおよび/またはショルダーベルトを介してバッグを持ち運ぶ際に、当該緩衝具の案内ロッドおよび連結部にバッグの荷重が作用すると、ケースの軸方向にみて、ケースおよび案内ロッドが互いに離れる方向に相対移動する。それによって、押圧部と支持部材とが互いに近づくように移動し、コイルばねは、支持部材側と押圧部との間で圧縮されてコイルばねのばね反力を生じる。このとき、バッグの動荷重による使用者の手首、腕、肘、肩、背中、腰、膝等への負担は、コイルばねの圧縮によるばね反力によって吸収され、緩和・軽減される。バッグは、コイルばねの圧縮に伴うばね反力に抗して動作するので、持ち運び動作が終了して、バッグのハンドルおよび/またはショルダーベルトに掛かっていた荷重が取り除かれると、ケースおよび案内ロッドが互いに近づく方向に相対移動して初期状態に戻る。つまり、バッグはハンドルおよび/またはショルダーベルトを介してバッグを持ち運ぶ前の静止状態に戻る。
 案内ロッドは、支持部材の内周面に沿って案内され、スムーズにケースの軸方向に安定して変位するため、軸心に対する横振れおよび振動が生じ難いものとなっている。さらに、コイルばねは、支持部材の外周面に沿って圧縮するため、コイル中心線に対する横振れおよび振動が生じ難いものとなり、その結果、コイルばねが案内ロッドに当接して擦れることを防止し、また、コイルばねが圧縮されたときの座屈も防止することが可能となり、コイルばねを保護するものとなっている。
 すなわち、支持部材は、案内ロッドおよびコイルばねの横振れおよび振動を規制して、当該案内ロッドおよびコイルばねを保護する機能を有するものとなっている。また、コイルばねの圧縮による当該コイルばねと案内ロッドとの摩擦抵抗も少なくなるため、コイルばねは、円滑に圧縮されるものとなっている。
 一方、連結部は、咬合部によって支持されるように、ケースの軸方向の他方側に組み付けられているので、強固に組み付けられ、ケースから抜け出難いものとなっている。そのため、ハンドルおよび/またはショルダーベルトを介してバッグを持ち運ぶ際に、当該緩衝具の案内ロッドおよび連結部にバッグの荷重が作用した場合でも、この連結部はバッグから外れ難いものとなっている。
 請求項2に係る本発明は、請求項1に係る発明に従属する発明であって、ケースは、間隔を隔てて横並びに配置される複数の収納部を含み、支持部材は、間隔を隔てて横並びに配置され、外周面に突縁部を有する筒状の複数の支持部材と、複数の支持部材の外周面の突縁部を連接する支持部材連接部とを含み、案内ロッドは、複数の収納部に組み付けられ、間隔を隔てて横並びに配置される複数の直線状の案内ロッドと、複数の案内ロッドの軸方向の一端部を連接し、ケースの軸方向の一端側から露出するロッド連接部とを含み、コイルばねは、案内ロッドの軸方向に沿って案内ロッドの周囲に配置され、コイル中心線の長さ方向に圧縮荷重を受ける複数のコイルばねとを含み、押圧部は、複数のコイルばねを複数の支持部材側に圧縮する複数の押圧部を含むことを特徴とする、バッグの緩衝具である。
 請求項2に係る本発明によれば、上記した構造を有しているので、特に、案内ロッド、コイルばね、押圧部の各部材を横並びに配列した状態で1つのケース内に収納して、所謂、ツインタイプのコンパクトな構成とすることが可能となっている。この場合、所定の長さを有する単一のコイルばねで得られる緩衝機能を、たとえば当該単一のコイルばねの長さの半分の長さを有する一対の2つのコイルばねと代替しても、当初の設定した緩衝機能を維持することが可能となる。
 一方で、ゴルフバッグのように大形で比較的重量のあるバッグでは、有効長の長いコイルばねを採用することによりケースの長さが長くなってもあまり不都合は感じられないが、ビジネスバック等のように中形,小形で比較的重量も小さいバッグでは、必要以上の緩衝機能を得るために、ケースの長さが長くなることは、不具合を生じるものとなり、美観の点においても優れたものではない。
 したがって、ツインタイプのコンパクトな構成とする請求項2に係る本発明によるバッグの緩衝具は、手提げタイプ、肩掛けタイプ、背負いタイプおよびそれらを2つ以上兼用するタイプの小形,中形のバッグに適用されて好適なものとなる。
 請求項3に係る本発明は、請求項1または請求項2に係る発明に従属する発明であって、ケースは、ケースの軸方向の中間部の一方側から他方側にかけて配設され、案内ロッドの軸方向の他端から中間部に至る部位と、支持部材の軸方向の一端から中間部に至る部位と、コイルばねの長さ方向の一端から他端に至る部位と、押圧部とが収納される収納部と、支持部材の少なくとも軸方向の中間部が嵌合される嵌合凹部と、支持部材の突縁部が係止される係止凹部とを含み、収納部と嵌合凹部と係止凹部とは連通され、コイルばねは、ケースの軸方向にみて、押圧部と、収納部および嵌合凹部の境界部との間に、配置されることを特徴とする、バッグの緩衝具である。
 請求項3に係る本発明によれば、上記した構成を有しているので、ケースおよび案内ロッドが互いに離れる方向に相対的に変位したときでも、支持部材は、その突縁部がケースの係止凹部に係止される。そのため、支持部材は、当該変位に連動して変位することが規制され、安定して位置決めされる。
 請求項4に係る本発明は、請求項1~請求項3のいずれか1項に係る発明に従属する発明であって、押圧部は、コイルばねの長さ方向の一端部に対向して、案内ロッドの軸方向の他端部に着脱自在に配置されるリング部材と、案内ロッドの軸方向の他端部に締結される締結部材とを含み、ケースおよび案内ロッドが互いに離れる方向に相対的に変位したときに、締結部材は、リング部材を介してコイルばねを圧縮することを特徴とする、バッグの緩衝具である。
 請求項4に係る本発明によれば、上記した構成を有しているので、コイルばねは、その長さ方向の一端部がリング部材の面に当接され、その長さ方向の他端部がコイル中心線の長さ方向にみて、収納部と嵌合凹部との境界部の面に当接される。すなわち、コイルばねの長手方向の両側を面で安定して支持することが可能となるため、コイルばねを安定して案内ロッドの周囲に間隔を隔てて正確に位置決めして配置することが可能となっている。
 請求項5に係る本発明は、請求項1~請求項4のいずれか1項に係る発明に従属する発明であって、前記案内ロッドは、当該案内ロッドの軸方向の一端部に、前記ケースの軸方向の一端側から露出する取付部を含むことを特徴とする、バッグの緩衝具である。
 請求項5に係る本発明によれば、上記した構成を有しているので、緩衝具と、バッグのバッグ本体および/またはショルダーベルトとの間に、取付部を直接または間接に取り付けることが可能となっている。
 請求項6に係る本発明は、請求項1~請求項5のいずれか1項に係る発明に従属する発明であって、咬合部は、ケース内の軸方向の他端側で、ケースの軸中心線と直交する方向に配設される複数の咬合凹凸部が互いに咬合して形成され、ケース内の軸方向に間隔を隔てて一列以上配列される咬合列と、咬合列の内、ケース内の軸方向の他端側に最も近い位置に配置される外側咬合列の近傍で、ケースの軸方向にみてケースの内側寄りの位置に配設され、連結部が係着される係着部とを含み、連結部は、係着部に係着されると共に、外側咬合列により支持されることを特徴とする、バッグの緩衝具である。
 請求項6に係る本発明によれば、上記した構造を有しているので、ケースの軸方向の他端側は、咬合列において、互いに咬合する複数の咬合凹凸部の密接による摩擦抵抗により、強固な構造を有するものとなっている。また、連結部は、係着部により係着され、且つ、強固な咬合構造を有した咬合列の1つである外側咬合列によって支持されているため、より一層強固にケースに安定して保持されるものとなっている。
 そのため、このバッグの緩衝具に大きな荷重が作用したとしても、不用意に連結部がケースから外れたり、それによるケースの破損を防止することが可能となっている。
 請求項7に係る本発明は、請求項1~請求項6のいずれか1項に係る発明に従属する発明であって、ケースは、当該ケースの軸中心線に沿って分割した略同一形状の2つの半体を突き合わせて接合した一体構造を有することを特徴とする、バッグの緩衝具である。
 請求項7に係る本発明によれば、上記した構成を有するので、当該緩衝具を製造する際に、案内ロッド、ストッパ、コイルばね、押圧部(リング部材および締結部材)、連結部の各部材を容易にケース内に組み付けることが可能となり、2つの半体を突き合わせて超音波溶着等の方法により接合すれば、2つの半体を密封された状態で強固に一体化することが可能となる。そのため、ケース内の各部材の信頼性の向上も図れるものとなる。
 請求項8に係る本発明は、ゴルフクラブが出し入れされる口部を有するゴルフバッグ本体と、ゴルフバッグ本体に設けられ、ゴルフバッグ本体を持ち運ぶのに用いられるハンドルおよび/またはショルダーベルトとを含む、ゴルフバッグに用いられる、ゴルフバッグの緩衝具であって、筒状のケースと、外周面に突縁部を有し、ケース内の軸方向の一方側に組み付けられる筒状の支持部材と、ケースの軸方向に変位自在となるように支持部材に挿嵌され、その軸方向の一端側がバッグに直接または間接に取り付けられる案内ロッドと、案内ロッドの軸方向に沿って案内ロッドの周囲に配置され、コイル中心線の長さ方向に圧縮荷重を受けるコイルばねと、案内ロッドの軸方向の他端側に配設され、ケースおよび案内ロッドが互いに離れる方向に相対的に変位したときに、コイルばねを支持部材側に圧縮する押圧部と、ケースの軸方向の他方側に、咬合部により支持されるように組み付けられ、バッグに直接または間接に取り付けられる連結部とを含み、支持部材は、案内ロッドの軸方向でみて、コイルばねの圧縮方向に配置され、連結部は、ゴルフバッグの口部または口部近傍に直接または間接に着脱自在に取り付けられ、ゴルフバッグ本体を自立させた状態で所望する場所に配置することを支援することを特徴とする、ゴルフバッグの緩衝具である。
 請求項8に係る本発明によれば、上記した構成を有しているので、ゴルフバッグのハンドルを把持した状態ないしショルダーベルトを肩に掛けた状態から、当該ゴルフバッグを自立させる場合、使用者は、このゴルフバッグの緩衝具のケース部の外周面を把持し、当該緩衝具を中心にして、ゴルフバッグを自立させる方向に回転させることにより、ゴルフバッグを自立させることができる。このとき、回転するゴルフバッグの力学的支点となるゴルフバッグの緩衝具は、ゴルフバッグの口部または口部近傍、すなわち、ゴルフバッグの高さ方向の中央よりも上側に取り付けられているため、例えば、当該緩衝具をゴルフバッグの高さ方向の中央または中央よりも下側に取り付けられる場合に比べて、ゴルフバッグの下端部から、当該力学的支点となる緩衝具までの距離が長くなり、ゴルフバッグを自立させる方向に回転させるときの回転モーメントを大きくすることが可能となる。したがって、ゴルフバッグを比較的容易に回転させて、当該ゴルフバッグを所望する場所に簡単に自立させることができる。
 一方で、従来のゴルフバッグ(例えば、特許文献1参照。)のように、回転モーメントの力が付加されることにより、ゴルフバッグの総重量が大きな荷重となって、瞬間的に、使用者に相当の負担が掛かることが危惧されるが、請求項8に係る本発明では、特に、ゴルフバッグの緩衝具が上記コイルばねを具備しているため、当該コイルばねの緩衝作用によって、瞬間的に使用者に掛かる動荷重(衝撃荷重および繰り返し荷重を含む。)を吸収して緩和させることが可能となっている。そのため、従来技術のように、当該動荷重による使用者の手首、肘、肩、腰、膝等に掛かる負担を大幅に軽減させることが可能となっている。すなわち、使用者に負担をかけることなく、簡単に、ゴルフバッグを所望の場所に自立させた状態で配置することができるものとなっている。
 さらに、請求項8に係る本発明では、ゴルフバッグを自立させた状態から、それを持ち運ぶために、その場で瞬時に、ゴルフバッグのハンドルを把持してゴルフバッグを持ち上げる場合、ショルダーベルトを肩に掛けてゴルフバッグを持ち上げる場合、あるいは、ショルダーベルトを肩に掛けた状態で、階段やゴルフ場の起伏のある場所を歩行する場合においても、上記したと同様に、このゴルフバッグの緩衝具のコイルばねの緩衝作用によって、瞬間的に、使用者の手首、肩、腰、肘、膝等に掛かる大きな動荷重を緩和させ、使用者に掛かる負担を大幅に軽減させることが可能となっている。
 また、請求項8に係る本発明では、使用者が、ゴルフバッグを持ち運んでいる状態からゴルフバッグを自立させる場合、あるいは、ゴルフバッグが自立して立て置かれた状態からゴルフバッグを持ち上げる場合、それらの動作は、このゴルフバッグの緩衝具のケース外周面(把持部)を把持することにより、当該緩衝具のケースの把持部を当該動作の基点とすることが可能となる。すなわち、このゴルフバッグの緩衝具は、ゴルフバッグの口部または当該口部近傍に着脱自在に取り付けられているので、前記した各動作の場合において、ゴルフバッグは、その口部が略上を向く態様となるように保持される。そのため、請求項8に係る本発明によれば、従来のゴルフバッグ(例えば、特許文献1参照。)のように、多数のゴルフクラブ等が収納されたゴルフバッグを持ち上げたときに、ゴルフバッグの口部からゴルフクラブが不意に飛び出るようなこともない。
 さらに、請求項8に係る本発明では、連結部を、ゴルフバッグの口部または口部近傍に直接または間接に着脱自在に取り付けられることが可能となっているために、当該緩衝具をゴルフバッグの口部または当該口部近傍に後付けすることが自在となり、しかも、後付けする箇所の選定において、その自由度が高いものとなっている。
 請求項9に係る本発明は、請求項8に係る発明に従属する発明であって、ゴルフバッグは、その一端がゴルフバッグ本体の高さ方向の中間部に取り付けられ、その他端がゴルフバッグの口部または口部近傍に着脱自在に取り付け可能となるショルダーベルトを含むゴルフバッグであって、ゴルフバッグの緩衝具は、連結部が、ゴルフバッグの口部またはその近傍に着脱自在に取り付けられ、案内ロッドの軸方向の一端側が、ショルダーベルトの他端に着脱自在に取り付けられることを特徴とする、ゴルフバッグの緩衝具である。
 請求項9に係る本発明によれば、上記した構成を有しているので、請求項8に係る発明と同様の作用・効果を有するとともに、それに加えて、ショルダーベルトの他端とゴルフバッグの口部または当該口部近傍との間に、つまり、ショルダーベルトの上端に、適宜、このゴルフバッグの緩衝具を着脱自在に取り付けることが可能となっている。そのため、請求項9に係る本発明によれば、当該緩衝具とショルダーベルトとを、互いに近接した位置で且つ同一直線上に配置することが可能となり、例えば、ショルダーベルトを肩に掛けた状態から、この緩衝具のケースの外周面(把持部)を当該肩側の手で速やかに把持してゴルフバッグを容易に自立させることができる。
 例えば、ショルダーベルトを肩に掛けてゴルフバッグを持ち運んでいる状態(ゴルフバッグ本体が床面ないし地面とほぼ平行ないし所定の傾きをもって横向きになっている状態、例えば、図8参照。)から下に降ろす場合、使用者は、一方の手でゴルフバッグのハンドルを把持するとともに、肩からショルダーベルトを外して、他方の手でこの緩衝具のケースの外周面(把持部)を把持することによって、緩衝具の把持部を力学的支点(回転中心)にして、ゴルフバッグ本体の下端側を容易に床面ないし地面に自立させる方向に回転させることが可能となる(例えば、図8、図9および図10参照。)。このとき、ゴルフバッグ本体を自立させる方向に回転させるときの支点(回転中心)となる緩衝具の把持部は、ゴルフバッグ本体の高さ方向の中央よりも上側、つまり、ゴルフバッグ本体の口部または口部近傍に配置されるため、ゴルフバッグ本体の下端部および支点間の距離が長くなり、回転モーメントの大きさが大きくなる(例えば、図11参照。)。したがって、ゴルフバッグ本体を容易に回転させて、床面や地面に素早く自立させることが可能となる。
 また、請求項9に係る本発明によれば、使用者は、上述したように、ゴルフバッグのハンドルおよび緩衝具の協働作用により、ゴルフバッグ本体を簡単に自立させることが可能となっているが、例えば、ショルダーベルトを肩に掛けてゴルフバッグを持ち運んでいる状態(例えば、図8参照。)から下に降ろす場合、使用者は、肩からショルダーベルトを外して、一方の手で、このゴルフバッグの緩衝具のケースの外周面(把持部)を把持することによって、当該緩衝具の把持部を力学的支点(回転中心)にして、ゴルフバッグ本体の下端側を容易に床面ないし地面に自立させる方向に回転させることが可能となっている(例えば、図8および図10参照。)。
 上記した各発明において、案内ロッドは、その軸方向の一端側が、バッグ本体と、ハンドルおよび/またはショルダーベルトとの間で、ハンドルおよび/またはショルダーベルト側に、直接または間接に取り付けられるようにすることが好ましい。また、ケースの軸方向の他方側に、咬合部により支持されるように組み付けられる連結部は、バッグ本体と、ハンドルおよび/またはショルダーベルトとの間で、バッグ本体側に、直接または間接に取り付けられるようにすることが好ましい。
 請求項10に係る本発明は、長さ方向を有し、バッグに取り付けられるショルダーベルトであって、ショルダーベルトは、ショルダーベルトの長さ方向の一端部および/または他端部に連結される緩衝具を含み、緩衝具は、筒状のケースと、外周面に突縁部を有し、ケース内の軸方向の一方側に組み付けられる筒状の支持部材と、ケースの軸方向に変位自在となるように支持部材に挿嵌され、その軸方向の一端側にケースから露出した取付部を有する案内ロッドと、案内ロッドの軸方向に沿って案内ロッドの周囲に配置され、コイル中心線の長さ方向に圧縮荷重を受けるコイルばねと、案内ロッドの軸方向の他端側に配設され、ケースおよび案内ロッドが互いに離れる方向に相対的に変位したときに、コイルばねを支持部材側に圧縮する押圧部と、ケースの軸方向の他方側に、咬合部により支持されるように組み付けられる連結部とを含み、支持部材は、案内ロッドの軸方向でみて、コイルばねの圧縮方向に配置され、案内ロッドの取付部または連結部は、ショルダーベルトの長さ方向の一端部および/または他端部に、直接または間接に取り付けられることを特徴とする、ショルダーベルトである。
 請求項10に係る本発明によれば、上記した構成を有しているので、例えば、案内ロッドの取付部が、ショルダーベルトの長さ方向の一端部および/または他端部に、直接または間接に取り付けられ、連結部がバッグのバッグ本体に、直接または間接に取り付けられることによって、ショルダーベルトを肩に掛けてバッグを持ち運ぶことが可能となる。
 そして、ショルダーベルトが取り付けられたバッグを持ち運ぶ場合に、当該緩衝具の案内ロッドおよび連結部にバッグの荷重が作用すると、ケースの軸方向にみて、ケースおよび案内ロッドが互いに離れる方向に相対移動する。それによって、押圧部と支持部材とが互いに近づくように移動し、コイルばねは、支持部材側と押圧部との間で圧縮されてコイルばねのばね反力を生じる。このとき、バッグの動荷重による使用者の手首、腕、肘、肩、背中、腰、膝等への負担は、コイルばねの圧縮によるばね反力によって吸収され、緩和・軽減される。バッグは、コイルばねの圧縮に伴うばね反力に抗して動作するので、持ち運び動作が終了して、ショルダーベルトに掛かっていたバッグの荷重が取り除かれると、ケースおよび案内ロッドが互いに近づく方向に相対移動して初期状態に戻る。つまり、ショルダーベルトを介してバッグを持ち運ぶ前の静止状態に戻る。
 案内ロッドは、支持部材の内周面に沿って案内され、スムーズにケースの軸方向に安定して変位するため、軸心に対する横振れおよび振動が生じ難いものとなっている。さらに、コイルばねは、支持部材の外周面に沿って圧縮するため、コイル中心線に対する横振れおよび振動が生じ難いものとなり、その結果、コイルばねが案内ロッドに当接して擦れることを防止し、また、コイルばねが圧縮されたときの座屈も防止することが可能となり、コイルばねを保護するものとなっている。
 すなわち、支持部材は、案内ロッドおよびコイルばねの横振れおよび振動を規制して、当該案内ロッドおよびコイルばねを保護する機能を有するものとなっている。また、コイルばねの圧縮による当該コイルばねと案内ロッドとの摩擦抵抗も少なくなるため、コイルばねは、円滑に圧縮されるものとなっている。
 一方、連結部は、咬合部によって支持されるように、ケースの軸方向の他方側に組み付けられているので、強固に組み付けられ、ケースから抜け出難いものとなっている。そのため、ショルダーベルトを介してバッグを持ち運ぶ際に、当該緩衝具の案内ロッドおよび連結部にバッグの荷重が作用した場合でも、この連結部はバッグから外れ難いものとなっている。
 なお、上記したショルダーベルトにおいて、連結部が、ショルダーベルトの長さ方向の一端部および/または他端部に、直接または間接に取り付けられ、案内ロッドの取付部がバッグのバッグ本体に、直接または間接に取り付けられることによって、ショルダーベルトを肩に掛けてバッグを持ち運ぶようにすることも可能である。
The present invention according to claim 1 is a bag shock absorber for use in a bag including a bag body, and a handle and / or a shoulder belt provided on the bag body and used to carry the bag body. A cylindrical case, a cylindrical support member that has a projecting edge on the outer peripheral surface and is assembled on one side in the axial direction inside the case, and is fitted into the support member so as to be displaceable in the axial direction of the case A guide rod whose one end side in the axial direction is directly or indirectly attached to the bag, and a coil spring disposed around the guide rod along the axial direction of the guide rod and receiving a compressive load in the length direction of the coil center line A pressing portion that is disposed on the other end side in the axial direction of the guide rod and that compresses the coil spring toward the support member when the case and the guide rod are relatively displaced in a direction away from each other; And a connecting portion that is assembled to be supported by the occlusal portion and is directly or indirectly attached to the bag. The supporting member is a compression direction of the coil spring as viewed in the axial direction of the guide rod. The bag cushioning device is characterized in that it is disposed in the bag.
According to the first aspect of the present invention, the bag has a load on the guide rod and the connecting portion of the shock absorber when the bag is carried via the handle and / or the shoulder belt. When acting, the case and the guide rod move relative to each other in the axial direction of the case. As a result, the pressing portion and the support member move so as to approach each other, and the coil spring is compressed between the support member side and the pressing portion to generate a spring reaction force of the coil spring. At this time, the burden on the user's wrist, arm, elbow, shoulder, back, waist, knee, and the like due to the dynamic load of the bag is absorbed by the spring reaction force due to the compression of the coil spring, and is reduced or reduced. Since the bag operates against the spring reaction force accompanying the compression of the coil spring, when the carrying operation is finished and the load applied to the handle and / or shoulder belt of the bag is removed, the case and the guide rod are moved. Relative movement in directions approaching each other returns to the initial state. That is, the bag returns to a stationary state before carrying the bag via the handle and / or the shoulder belt.
Since the guide rod is guided along the inner peripheral surface of the support member and smoothly and stably displaces in the axial direction of the case, it is difficult for lateral vibration and vibration to occur with respect to the shaft center. Furthermore, since the coil spring is compressed along the outer peripheral surface of the support member, it is difficult for lateral vibration and vibration with respect to the coil center line to occur, and as a result, the coil spring is prevented from coming into contact with and rubbing against the guide rod, Further, it is possible to prevent buckling when the coil spring is compressed, thereby protecting the coil spring.
That is, the support member has a function of protecting the guide rod and the coil spring by restricting the lateral vibration and vibration of the guide rod and the coil spring. Further, since the frictional resistance between the coil spring and the guide rod due to the compression of the coil spring is reduced, the coil spring is smoothly compressed.
On the other hand, since the connecting portion is assembled on the other side in the axial direction of the case so as to be supported by the occlusal portion, it is firmly assembled and is difficult to come out of the case. Therefore, when the bag is carried via the handle and / or the shoulder belt, even when a load of the bag acts on the guide rod and the connecting portion of the shock absorber, the connecting portion is difficult to come off from the bag.
The present invention according to claim 2 is an invention dependent on the invention according to claim 1, wherein the case includes a plurality of storage portions arranged side by side at intervals, and the support member is spaced at intervals. The guide rod includes a plurality of cylindrical support members arranged side by side and having protrusions on the outer peripheral surface, and support member connecting portions connecting the protrusions on the outer peripheral surfaces of the plurality of support members. A plurality of linear guide rods that are assembled to the storage unit and are arranged side by side with an interval, and a rod connection that connects one end in the axial direction of the plurality of guide rods and is exposed from one end in the axial direction of the case The coil spring is disposed around the guide rod along the axial direction of the guide rod and includes a plurality of coil springs that receive a compressive load in the length direction of the coil center line.

According to the eighth aspect of the present invention, since the golf bag has the above-described configuration, when the golf bag is made to stand on its own from a state where the handle of the golf bag is gripped or a shoulder belt is hung on the shoulder, The golf bag can be made self-supporting by gripping the outer peripheral surface of the case portion of the shock absorber of the golf bag and rotating the golf bag in the direction of self-supporting around the shock absorber. At this time, since the shock absorber of the golf bag, which is a mechanical fulcrum of the rotating golf bag, is attached to the mouth of the golf bag or the vicinity of the mouth, that is, above the center of the golf bag in the height direction, For example, the distance from the lower end of the golf bag to the buffer serving as the mechanical fulcrum is longer than when the buffer is attached to the center in the height direction of the golf bag or below the center, It is possible to increase the rotational moment when the golf bag is rotated in the direction of self-supporting. Therefore, the golf bag can be rotated relatively easily, and the golf bag can be easily made independent at a desired place.
On the other hand, like a conventional golf bag (for example, refer to Patent Document 1), the force of the rotational moment is added, so that the total weight of the golf bag becomes a heavy load, and the user is instantaneously affected. Although it is feared that a considerable burden is applied, in the present invention according to claim 8, in particular, since the shock absorber of the golf bag includes the coil spring, it is used instantaneously due to the buffer action of the coil spring. It is possible to absorb and relax the dynamic load (including impact load and repeated load) applied to the person. Therefore, as in the prior art, it is possible to greatly reduce the burden on the user's wrist, elbow, shoulder, waist, knee and the like due to the dynamic load. In other words, the golf bag can be easily placed in a desired position without placing a burden on the user.
Further, in the present invention according to claim 8, when the golf bag is lifted by holding the golf bag handle instantaneously on the spot in order to carry the golf bag from the self-supporting state, the shoulder belt is attached to the shoulder. As described above, when the golf bag is lifted by suspending the golf bag, or when the shoulder belt is hung on the shoulder, the golf bag cushioning device is used in the same manner as described above. Due to the buffering action of the coil spring, it is possible to instantly relieve the large dynamic load on the wrist, shoulder, waist, elbow, knee, etc. of the user and greatly reduce the burden on the user. .
Further, in the present invention according to claim 8, when the user makes the golf bag self-supporting from the state of carrying the golf bag, or when lifting the golf bag from the state in which the golf bag is self-standing, These operations can be performed by gripping the case outer peripheral surface (gripping portion) of the shock absorber of the golf bag, and using the grip portion of the shock absorber case as a base point of the motion. In other words, since the shock absorber of the golf bag is detachably attached to the mouth portion of the golf bag or in the vicinity of the mouth portion, the mouth portion of the golf bag faces substantially upward in each of the operations described above. It is hold | maintained to become an aspect. Therefore, according to the eighth aspect of the present invention, when a golf bag containing a large number of golf clubs or the like is lifted as in a conventional golf bag (see, for example, Patent Document 1), The golf club does not suddenly jump out of the mouth.
Furthermore, in the present invention according to claim 8, since the connecting portion can be detachably attached directly or indirectly to the mouth portion or the vicinity of the mouth portion of the golf bag, the shock absorber is attached to the golf bag. Can be retrofitted to the mouth part or the vicinity of the mouth part, and the degree of freedom is high in the selection of the place to be retrofitted.
The present invention according to claim 9 is an invention dependent on the invention according to claim 8, wherein the golf bag has one end attached to the intermediate portion in the height direction of the golf bag main body and the other end of the golf bag. A golf bag including a shoulder belt that can be detachably attached to the mouth portion or the vicinity of the mouth portion, wherein the shock absorber of the golf bag is detachably attached to the mouth portion of the golf bag or the vicinity thereof, One end of the guide rod in the axial direction is detachably attached to the other end of the shoulder belt.
According to the ninth aspect of the present invention, since it has the above-described configuration, it has the same operation and effect as the eighth aspect of the invention, and in addition, the other end of the shoulder belt and the golf bag It is possible to detachably attach the golf bag cushion appropriately between the mouth portion or the vicinity of the mouth portion, that is, on the upper end of the shoulder belt. Therefore, according to the present invention according to claim 9, the shock absorber and the shoulder belt can be disposed on the same straight line at a position close to each other, for example, from a state in which the shoulder belt is hung on the shoulder. The golf bag can be easily made independent by quickly grasping the outer peripheral surface (gripping portion) of the case of the shock absorber with the shoulder side hand.
For example, the golf bag is carried with the shoulder belt on the shoulder (the golf bag main body is substantially parallel to the floor surface or the ground or is turned sideways with a predetermined inclination, for example, see FIG. 8). When lowering, the user grasps the handle of the golf bag with one hand, removes the shoulder belt from the shoulder, and grasps the outer peripheral surface (gripping part) of the case of the shock absorber with the other hand, With the gripping portion of the shock absorber as a mechanical fulcrum (rotation center), the lower end side of the golf bag body can be easily rotated in a direction to be self-supporting on the floor or the ground (for example, FIG. 8, FIG. 9 and See FIG. At this time, the gripping portion of the shock absorber serving as a fulcrum (rotation center) when rotating the golf bag main body in a self-supporting direction is above the center in the height direction of the golf bag main body, that is, the mouth portion of the golf bag main body. Or since it arrange | positions in the mouth part vicinity, the distance between the lower end part of a golf bag main body and a fulcrum becomes long, and the magnitude | size of a rotational moment becomes large (for example, refer FIG. 11). Therefore, it is possible to easily rotate the golf bag main body and quickly stand on the floor or the ground.
Further, according to the present invention of claim 9, as described above, the user can easily make the golf bag body self-supporting by the cooperative action of the handle and the shock absorber of the golf bag. However, for example, when the golf bag is carried with the shoulder belt on the shoulder (see, for example, FIG. 8), the user removes the shoulder belt from the shoulder and moves the shoulder bag with one hand. By grasping the outer peripheral surface (gripping portion) of the case of the golf bag cushioning device, the gripping portion of the cushioning device is used as a mechanical fulcrum (rotation center), and the lower end side of the golf bag body is easily placed on the floor or ground. It is possible to rotate in a direction to make it stand on its own (see, for example, FIGS. 8 and 10).
In each of the above-described inventions, the guide rod is attached at one end side in the axial direction directly or indirectly between the bag body and the handle and / or shoulder belt on the handle and / or shoulder belt side. It is preferable. In addition, the connecting part assembled to be supported by the occlusal part on the other side in the axial direction of the case is directly or indirectly attached to the bag body side between the bag body and the handle and / or the shoulder belt. It is preferable that
The present invention according to claim 10 is a shoulder belt having a length direction and attached to a bag, wherein the shoulder belt is coupled to one end portion and / or the other end portion in the length direction of the shoulder belt. The shock absorber includes a cylindrical case, a projecting edge on the outer peripheral surface, a cylindrical support member assembled on one side in the axial direction in the case, and freely displaceable in the axial direction of the case. A guide rod having a mounting portion which is inserted into the support member and exposed from the case on one end side in the axial direction, and is arranged around the guide rod along the axial direction of the guide rod, and the length of the coil center line The coil spring that receives a compressive load in the vertical direction and the other end in the axial direction of the guide rod are compressed toward the support member when the case and the guide rod are displaced relatively away from each other. Press to And a connecting portion assembled to be supported by the occlusal portion on the other side in the axial direction of the case, and the support member is disposed in the compression direction of the coil spring as viewed in the axial direction of the guide rod. The attachment portion or the connection portion is a shoulder belt, which is directly or indirectly attached to one end portion and / or the other end portion in the length direction of the shoulder belt.
According to the tenth aspect of the present invention, since it has the above-described configuration, for example, the attachment portion of the guide rod is directly or indirectly on one end and / or the other end in the length direction of the shoulder belt. The connecting portion is directly or indirectly attached to the bag body of the bag, so that the shoulder belt can be hung on the shoulder and the bag can be carried.
When carrying the bag with the shoulder belt attached, if the load of the bag acts on the guide rod and the connecting portion of the shock absorber, the case and the guide rod move relative to each other in the axial direction of the case. . As a result, the pressing portion and the support member move so as to approach each other, and the coil spring is compressed between the support member side and the pressing portion to generate a spring reaction force of the coil spring. At this time, the burden on the user's wrist, arm, elbow, shoulder, back, waist, knee, and the like due to the dynamic load of the bag is absorbed by the spring reaction force due to the compression of the coil spring, and is reduced or reduced. Since the bag operates against the spring reaction force associated with the compression of the coil spring, when the carrying operation is completed and the bag load on the shoulder belt is removed, the case and the guide rod move toward each other. Move relative to return to the initial state. That is, it returns to the stationary state before carrying the bag through the shoulder belt.
Since the guide rod is guided along the inner peripheral surface of the support member and smoothly and stably displaces in the axial direction of the case, it is difficult for lateral vibration and vibration to occur with respect to the shaft center. Furthermore, since the coil spring is compressed along the outer peripheral surface of the support member, it is difficult for lateral vibration and vibration with respect to the coil center line to occur, and as a result, the coil spring is prevented from coming into contact with and rubbing against the guide rod, Further, it is possible to prevent buckling when the coil spring is compressed, thereby protecting the coil spring.
That is, the support member has a function of protecting the guide rod and the coil spring by restricting the lateral vibration and vibration of the guide rod and the coil spring. Further, since the frictional resistance between the coil spring and the guide rod due to the compression of the coil spring is reduced, the coil spring is smoothly compressed.
On the other hand, since the connecting portion is assembled on the other side in the axial direction of the case so as to be supported by the occlusal portion, it is firmly assembled and is difficult to come out of the case. For this reason, when the bag is carried via the shoulder belt, even when a load of the bag acts on the guide rod and the connecting portion of the shock absorber, the connecting portion is difficult to come off from the bag.
In the above-described shoulder belt, the connecting portion is directly or indirectly attached to one end and / or the other end in the length direction of the shoulder belt, and the guide rod attaching portion is directly or indirectly attached to the bag body of the bag. By being attached indirectly, it is also possible to carry the bag with the shoulder belt on the shoulder.

That is, in the golf bag 100, in particular, between the vicinity of the mouth 104 </ b> A of the golf bag 100 and the other end of the shoulder belt 110 via the connecting portion 40 of the shock absorber 10 and the attachment portion 26 of the shock absorber 10. The buffer 10 of the bag can be easily attached and detached.
 図7に示すゴルフバッグ100において、例えば、ショルダーベルト110を肩に掛けてゴルフバッグ100を持ち運んでいる状態、つまり、図8に示すように、ゴルフバッグ本体102が床面ないし地面とほぼ平行ないし所定の傾きをもって横向きになっている状態から下に降ろす場合、使用者は、図9に示すように、肩からショルダーベルト110を外して、一方の手でハンドル106を把持するとともに、他方の手でバッグの緩衝具10の把持部16を把持することによって、緩衝具10の把持部16を力学的支点(回転中心)にして、ゴルフバッグ本体102の下端側を容易に床面ないし地面に自立させる方向に回転させることができる。このとき、ゴルフバッグ本体102を自立させる方向に回転させるときの支点(回転中心)となる緩衝具10の把持部16は、ゴルフバッグ本体102の高さ方向の中央よりも上側、つまり、ゴルフバッグ本体102の口枠部104の近傍に配置されるため、図11に示すように、ゴルフバッグ本体102の下端部および支点O(緩衝具10の把持部16)間の距離Lが長くなり、回転モーメントの大きさが大きくなる。したがって、ゴルフバッグ本体102を容易に回転させて、床面や地面に素早く自立させることができる。 In the golf bag 100 shown in FIG. 7, for example, when the golf bag 100 is carried with the shoulder belt 110 on the shoulder, that is, as shown in FIG. 8, the golf bag main body 102 is almost parallel to the floor or the ground. In the case of lowering from a horizontal position with a predetermined inclination, the user removes the shoulder belt 110 from the shoulder and grips the handle 106 with one hand, as shown in FIG. By gripping the gripping portion 16 of the cushioning device 10 of the bag, the gripping portion 16 of the cushioning device 10 is used as a mechanical fulcrum (rotation center), and the lower end side of the golf bag main body 102 can easily stand on the floor or the ground. It can be rotated in the direction of At this time, the gripping portion 16 of the shock absorber 10 serving as a fulcrum (rotation center) when rotating the golf bag main body 102 in a self-supporting direction is above the center of the golf bag main body 102 in the height direction, that is, the golf bag. Since it is disposed in the vicinity of the mouth frame portion 104 of the main body 102, as shown in FIG. 11, the distance L between the lower end portion of the golf bag main body 102 and the fulcrum O (the gripping portion 16 of the shock absorber 10) becomes long and rotates. The magnitude of the moment increases. Therefore, the golf bag main body 102 can be easily rotated to quickly stand on the floor or the ground.
 この場合、従来のゴルフバッグ(例えば、特許文献1参照。)のように、回転モーメントの力が付加されることにより、ゴルフバッグ100の総重量が大きな荷重となって、瞬間的に、使用者に相当の負担が掛かることが危惧されるが、図7に示すゴルフフバッグ100では、特に、バッグの緩衝具10の把持部16が圧縮コイルばね30を有しているので、この圧縮コイルばね30のばねの反力(弾性力)を利用した緩衝作用によって、瞬間的に使用者に掛かる動荷重(衝撃荷重および繰り返し荷重)を吸収して緩和させることができる。そのため、従来技術のように、この動荷重による使用者の手首、肘、肩、腰、膝等に掛かる負担を大幅に軽減させることができる。
 したがって、図7に示すゴルフフバッグ100によれば、使用者に負担をかけることなく、簡単に、ゴルフバッグ100を所望の場所に自立させた状態で配置することが可能となっている。
In this case, like the conventional golf bag (for example, refer patent document 1), when the force of a rotational moment is added, the total weight of the golf bag 100 becomes a big load, and it is instantaneously a user. However, in the golf bag 100 shown in FIG. 7, the gripping portion 16 of the bag cushion 10 has the compression coil spring 30. By the buffering action utilizing the reaction force (elastic force) of the spring, it is possible to absorb and relax the dynamic load (impact load and repeated load) applied to the user instantaneously. Therefore, as in the prior art, the burden on the wrist, elbow, shoulder, waist, knee, etc. of the user due to this dynamic load can be greatly reduced.
Therefore, according to the golf bag 100 shown in FIG. 7, it is possible to simply place the golf bag 100 in a desired position in a self-supporting manner without imposing a burden on the user.
 発明者の実験によれば、図7に示すゴルフバッグ100に荷重を掛けたときに、このバッグの緩衝具10が取着されたゴルフバッグ100では、緩衝具10が取着されていない従来のゴルフバッグに比べて、圧縮コイルばね30の緩衝作用によって、当該ゴルフバッグ100に掛かる荷重(負荷)が、大幅に軽減されることがわかった。
 この場合、ロードセルにより荷重を検出する荷重試験機に、所定の重量(98Nおよび196N)の錘Wを取り付けた試料として、バッグの緩衝具10をぶら下げ、静止状態より鉛直下方向に500mm/秒の一定速度で30mm移動させて振動させ、ロードセルに掛かる荷重値を測定した。この場合、比較試験のために、バッグの緩衝具10を取り付けた場合と、当該緩衝具10を取り付けていない場合について荷重値を測定した。
 この試験には、図12および図13に示すように、インストロン社製のエレクトロダイナミック試験機E3000を用いた。図15および図16に、「試験経過時間(推移時間)とロードセル検出荷重値」の関係を示したグラフを示す。図15は、錘Wの重量が98Nのときのグラフであり、図16は、錘Wの重量が196Nのときのグラフである。
 図15に示すグラフで示されているように、錘Wの重量が98Nの場合で、バッグの緩衝具10を取り付けていない場合には、瞬間的に掛かる荷重が最大略680Nであるのに対して、緩衝具10を取り付けた場合には、最大略440Nとなっていて、大幅に軽減されていることがわかる。同様に、図16に示すグラフで示されているように、錘Wの重量が196Nの場合で、バッグの緩衝具10を取り付けていない場合には、瞬間的に掛かる荷重が最大略1010Nであるのに対して、緩衝具10を取り付けた場合には、最大略710Nとなっていて、大幅に軽減されていることがわかる。
According to the inventor's experiment, when a load is applied to the golf bag 100 shown in FIG. 7, in the golf bag 100 to which the shock absorber 10 of this bag is attached, the conventional shock absorber 10 is not attached. It has been found that the load applied to the golf bag 100 is significantly reduced by the buffering action of the compression coil spring 30 as compared with the golf bag.
In this case, as a sample in which a weight W having a predetermined weight (98N and 196N) is attached to a load tester that detects a load by a load cell, the bag cushioning device 10 is hung and the vertical direction of 500 mm / second is lowered from a stationary state. The load applied to the load cell was measured by moving 30 mm at a constant speed and vibrating. In this case, for the comparison test, the load value was measured when the buffer 10 of the bag was attached and when the buffer 10 was not attached.
In this test, as shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, an electrodynamic tester E3000 manufactured by Instron was used. FIG. 15 and FIG. 16 are graphs showing the relationship between “test elapsed time (transition time) and load cell detected load value”. 15 is a graph when the weight W has a weight of 98N, and FIG. 16 is a graph when the weight W has a weight of 196N.
As shown in the graph of FIG. 15, when the weight W is 98 N and the bag buffer 10 is not attached, the instantaneous load is about 680 N at maximum. When the shock absorber 10 is attached, the maximum is about 440N, which shows that it is greatly reduced. Similarly, as shown in the graph of FIG. 16, when the weight W is 196 N and the bag buffer 10 is not attached, the load applied instantaneously is approximately 1010 N at maximum. On the other hand, when the shock absorber 10 is attached, the maximum is about 710N, which shows that it is greatly reduced.
 したがって、図7に示すゴルフバッグ100では、ハンドル106を把持した状態またはショルダーベルト110を肩に掛けた状態から、ゴルフバッグ本体102を自立させる場合、また、当該ゴルフバッグを自立させた状態から、その場で瞬時に、ショルダーベルト110を肩に掛けてゴルフバッグ100を持ち上げる場合、あるいは、ハンドル106を把持してゴルフバッグ100を持ち上げる場合、さらには、ショルダーベルト110を肩に掛けた状態で、階段やゴルフ場の起伏のある場所を歩行する場合、瞬間的に、使用者の手首、肩、腰、肘、膝等に掛かる大きな動荷重を、このバッグの緩衝具10の圧縮コイルばね30の緩衝作用によって緩和させ、使用者に掛かる負担を大幅に軽減させることが可能となっている。 Therefore, in the golf bag 100 shown in FIG. 7, when the golf bag body 102 is made independent from a state in which the handle 106 is gripped or the shoulder belt 110 is hung on the shoulder, or from the state in which the golf bag is made independent. When the golf bag 100 is lifted by putting the shoulder belt 110 on the shoulder instantaneously on the spot, or when the golf bag 100 is lifted by holding the handle 106, and further, with the shoulder belt 110 hung on the shoulder, When walking on undulations on stairs or golf courses, a large dynamic load on the wrist, shoulder, waist, elbow, knee, etc. of the user is momentarily applied to the compression coil spring 30 of the cushion 10 of this bag. It is possible to relieve the burden on the user by buffering action.
 図7に示すゴルフバッグ100によれば、使用者は、上述したように、ハンドル106および緩衝具10の協働作用により、ゴルフバッグ本体102を簡単に自立させることが可能となっているが、例えば、ショルダーベルト110を肩に掛けてゴルフバッグ100を持ち運んでいる状態(例えば、図8参照。)から下に降ろす場合、使用者は、肩からショルダーベルト110を外して、一方の手でこの緩衝具10の把持部16を把持することによって、自立誘導具10の把持部16を力学的支点(回転中心)にして、ゴルフバッグ本体102の下端側を容易に床面ないし地面に自立させる方向に回転させるようにしてもよい(例えば、図8に示す状態から図10に示す状態を参照。)。 According to the golf bag 100 shown in FIG. 7, as described above, the user can easily make the golf bag main body 102 independent by the cooperative action of the handle 106 and the shock absorber 10. For example, when the golf bag 100 is carried with the shoulder belt 110 on the shoulder (see, for example, FIG. 8), the user removes the shoulder belt 110 from the shoulder and moves the golf bag 100 with one hand. By gripping the grip 16 of the shock absorber 10, the grip 16 of the self-supporting guiding tool 10 is used as a mechanical fulcrum (rotation center), and the direction in which the lower end side of the golf bag body 102 can easily stand on the floor or the ground. (For example, see the state shown in FIG. 10 from the state shown in FIG. 8).
 また、図1~図6で示したバッグの緩衝具をゴルフバッグに取り付ける場合、バッグの緩衝具10をショルダーベルト110に連結させる取り付け方法(たとえば図7~図10に示す。)をとることなく、このバッグの緩衝具10を、直接、口部104Aまたは口部104Aの近傍に着脱自在に取り付けるようにすることも可能である(図示せず)。バッグの緩衝具10の連結部40および取付部26のどちらか一方を、たとえば図7に示すゴルフバッグ100の口部104Aまたは当該口部104Aの近傍に着脱自在に取着することが可能となっているために、このバッグの緩衝具10をゴルフバッグ100の口部104Aまたは当該口部104Aの近傍に後付けすることが自在となり、しかも、後付けする箇所の選定における自由度を高いものとすることが可能となっている。
 このゴルフバッグのハンドル106を把持した状態またはショルダーベルト110を肩に掛けた状態から、ゴルフバッグ本体102を自立させる場合、使用者は、上述した図7に示すゴルフバッグ100のときと同様に、バッグの緩衝具10の把持部16を把持し、当該緩衝具10を中心にして、ゴルフバッグ本体102を自立させる方向に回転させることによって、ゴルフバッグ100を自立させることができる。
1 to 6 is attached to a golf bag, the attachment device for connecting the bag cushion 10 to the shoulder belt 110 (for example, shown in FIGS. 7 to 10) is not used. It is also possible to attach the bag cushion 10 to the mouth 104A or the vicinity of the mouth 104A in a detachable manner (not shown). One of the connecting portion 40 and the attachment portion 26 of the bag cushion 10 can be detachably attached to, for example, the mouth portion 104A of the golf bag 100 shown in FIG. 7 or the vicinity of the mouth portion 104A. Therefore, it is possible to freely attach the cushion 10 of the bag to the mouth 104A of the golf bag 100 or in the vicinity of the mouth 104A, and to have a high degree of freedom in selecting the place to be attached. Is possible.
When the golf bag body 102 is to be self-supported from the state in which the handle 106 of the golf bag 106 is gripped or the shoulder belt 110 is hung on the shoulder, the user can perform the same operation as in the case of the golf bag 100 shown in FIG. The golf bag 100 can be made self-supporting by gripping the grip 16 of the bag cushioning device 10 and rotating the golf bag main body 102 around the cushioning device 10 in a self-supporting direction.
 この場合、従来のゴルフバッグ(例えば、特許文献1参照。)のように、回転モーメントの力が付加されることにより、ゴルフバッグ100の総重量が大きな荷重となって、瞬間的に、使用者に相当の負担が掛かることが危惧されるが、図7~図10に示すゴルフフバッグ100のときと同様に、緩衝具10の圧縮コイルばね30の緩衝作用によって、瞬間的に使用者に掛かる動荷重を吸収して緩和させることができる。そのため、従来技術のように、この動荷重による使用者の手首、肘、肩、腰、膝等に掛かる負担を大幅に軽減させることができる。 In this case, like the conventional golf bag (for example, refer patent document 1), when the force of a rotational moment is added, the total weight of the golf bag 100 becomes a big load, and it is instantaneously a user. However, as in the case of the golf bag 100 shown in FIGS. 7 to 10, the movement that is instantaneously applied to the user by the buffering action of the compression coil spring 30 of the shock absorber 10 is feared. The load can be absorbed and relaxed. Therefore, as in the prior art, the burden on the wrist, elbow, shoulder, waist, knee, etc. of the user due to this dynamic load can be greatly reduced.
 上記した各ゴルフバッグ100では、使用者が、ゴルフバッグ100を持ち運んでいる状態から当該ゴルフバッグを自立させる場合、あるいは、ゴルフバッグ100が立て置かれた状態から当該ゴルフバッグ100を持ち上げるとき、その動作は、緩衝具10の把持部16を把持することにより、緩衝具10の把持部16を当該動作の基点とすることができる。この場合、緩衝具10は、ゴルフバッグ100の口部104Aの近傍に着脱自在に取り付けられているため、前記した動作が行われる場合、ゴルフバッグ100は、その口部104Aが略上を向く態様となるように保持される。したがって、図7に示すゴルフバッグ100によれば、従来のゴルフバッグ(例えば、特許文献1参照。)のように、多数のゴルフクラブ等が収納されたゴルフバッグを持ち上げたときに、ゴルフバッグの口部からゴルフクラブが不意に飛び出るようなこともない。 In each of the golf bags 100 described above, when the user makes the golf bag self-supporting from the state in which the golf bag 100 is carried, or when the golf bag 100 is lifted from the state in which the golf bag 100 is erected, In the operation, by grasping the grip 16 of the shock absorber 10, the grip 16 of the shock absorber 10 can be used as a base point of the motion. In this case, since the shock absorber 10 is detachably attached in the vicinity of the mouth 104A of the golf bag 100, when the above-described operation is performed, the golf bag 100 has an aspect in which the mouth 104A faces substantially upward. To be held. Therefore, according to the golf bag 100 shown in FIG. 7, when a golf bag containing a large number of golf clubs or the like is lifted as in a conventional golf bag (see, for example, Patent Document 1), The golf club does not suddenly jump out of the mouth.
 図16は、本発明に係るバッグの緩衝具の実施の形態の他の例を示す図であって、特に、その内部構造を示す要部平面図である。図17は、図16に示す緩衝具において、荷重が作用したときの圧縮コイルばねの圧縮状態を示す要部平面図である。
 このバッグの緩衝具10では、たとえば図1~図6に示すバッグの緩衝具10と比べて、特に、ケース12内に組み込まれるコイルばねの個数および組合せが相違している。すなわち、図1~図6に示すバッグの緩衝具10では、ケース12内に1つの圧縮コイルばね30が配置されたが、図16,図17に示すバッグの緩衝具10では、1つの圧縮コイルばね30に加えて、たとえば1つの円錐ばね66が、案内ロッド24の軸方向に縦並びに配置されている。この場合、案内ロッド24の軸方向の中央部には、たとえば円環状の他のリング部材68が着脱自在に配置され、案内ロッド24の軸方向の他端部に配置されたリング部材34と他のリング部材68との間に、円錐ばね66が配置されている。
FIG. 16 is a view showing another example of the embodiment of the shock absorber for the bag according to the present invention, and in particular, is a plan view of the main part showing the internal structure thereof. FIG. 17 is a plan view of a principal part showing a compression state of the compression coil spring when a load is applied in the shock absorber shown in FIG. 16.
Compared to the bag cushion 10 shown in FIGS. 1 to 6, for example, the number and combination of the coil springs incorporated in the case 12 are different in the bag cushion 10. That is, in the bag shock absorber 10 shown in FIGS. 1 to 6, one compression coil spring 30 is arranged in the case 12, but in the bag shock absorber 10 shown in FIGS. 16 and 17, one compression coil is provided. In addition to the spring 30, for example, one conical spring 66 is arranged vertically in the axial direction of the guide rod 24. In this case, for example, another annular ring member 68 is detachably disposed in the central portion of the guide rod 24 in the axial direction, and the ring member 34 disposed at the other axial end portion of the guide rod 24 and the like. A conical spring 66 is disposed between the ring member 68 and the ring member 68.
 このようにして、圧縮コイルばね30と円錐ばね66とが案内ロッド24の軸方向に直列に配置されて組み合わされたこのバッグの緩衝具10では、たとえば図7~図10に示すゴルフバッグ100でいうと、緩衝具10に掛かるゴルフバッグバッグ100の荷重が、円錐ばね66の緩衝作用を経て圧縮コイルばね30の緩衝作用が働く。この場合、当該荷重により、先ず、円錐ばね66のばねが圧縮していくと、コイル径の大きいほうから線間接触が始まり、それ以降、順次線間接触が進む。線間接触した部分はばね作用がなくなる。つまり、円錐ばね66は、線間接触が進むにつれてばねが硬くなるという非線形ばね特性を有する。そして、次に、円錐ばね66の緩衝作用に引き続いて、圧縮コイルばね30の緩衝作用が働くので、使用者に掛かる負担をスムーズに緩和していくことができる。また、円錐ばね66は、圧縮時コイルの密着高さを低くすることができるため、スペース的に、ケース12の軸方向の長さをより一層小さくすることが可能となる。
 そのため、図16,図17に示すバッグの緩衝具10によれば、荷重の大きさが異なる多種のバッグに対応することが可能となっている。
In this way, in the shock absorber 10 of this bag in which the compression coil spring 30 and the conical spring 66 are combined in series in the axial direction of the guide rod 24, for example, in the golf bag 100 shown in FIGS. In other words, the load of the golf bag bag 100 applied to the shock absorber 10 acts as a shock absorbing action of the compression coil spring 30 via the shock absorbing action of the conical spring 66. In this case, when the spring of the conical spring 66 is first compressed by the load, the line-to-line contact starts from the larger coil diameter, and thereafter the line-to-line contact sequentially proceeds. The spring action is lost at the part where the line contacts. That is, the conical spring 66 has a non-linear spring characteristic that the spring becomes harder as the line-to-line contact proceeds. Then, since the buffering action of the compression coil spring 30 works following the buffering action of the conical spring 66, the burden on the user can be eased smoothly. Further, since the conical spring 66 can reduce the contact height of the coil during compression, the axial length of the case 12 can be further reduced in terms of space.
Therefore, according to the shock absorber 10 of the bag shown in FIGS. 16 and 17, it is possible to deal with various types of bags having different loads.
 図18は、本発明に係るバッグの緩衝具の実施の形態のさらに他の例を示す要部分解斜視図である。このバッグの緩衝具10では、たとえば図1~図6に示すバッグの緩衝具10と比べて、特に、案内ロッド24の軸方向の一端部に配設される取付部が相違している。すなわち、図1~図6に示すバッグの緩衝具10では、取付部26がアイで形成されたが、図18に示すバッグの緩衝具10では、取付部26として、たとえば二重リング70が用いられている。この場合、案内ロッド24は、その軸方向の一端部に長孔72を有し、二重リング70は長孔72に係着される。 FIG. 18 is an exploded perspective view of a main part showing still another example of the embodiment of the bag cushion according to the present invention. The shock absorber 10 of the bag is different from the shock absorber 10 of the bag shown in FIGS. 1 to 6 in particular in the mounting portion disposed at one end portion of the guide rod 24 in the axial direction. That is, in the shock absorber 10 of the bag shown in FIGS. 1 to 6, the mounting portion 26 is formed with an eye. However, for example, a double ring 70 is used as the mounting portion 26 in the shock absorber 10 of the bag shown in FIG. It has been. In this case, the guide rod 24 has a long hole 72 at one end in the axial direction, and the double ring 70 is engaged with the long hole 72.
 図19は、図1(A)および図1(B)に示す緩衝具の使用状態の他の例を示す図であって、特に、この緩衝具をたとえばビジネスバッグに取り付けた状態の一例を示す斜視図である。
 このビジネスバッグ200は、バッグ本体202を含む。バッグ本体202の上部には、手提げ用のハンドル204が配設されている。また、バッグ本体202の長さ方向の両側には、それぞれ、Dカン等の連結具208が配設されている。さらに、バッグ本体200には、ショルダーベルト210が着脱自在に取付可能となっている。ショルダーベルト210は、その両端部に丸カン等の連結具212を有し、当該連結具212には、茄子カン等の連結具214が取着されている。ショルダーベルト210は、その連結具214とバッグ本体202の連結具208とが係着されることにより、バッグ本体202に着脱自在に取り付けられる。この場合、本実施の形態に係るバッグの緩衝具10は、その連結部40がバッグ本体202の一方の連結具208に着脱自在に取り付けられ、取付部26がショルダーベルト210の一端側の連結具214に着脱自在に取り付けられる。
FIG. 19 is a diagram showing another example of the use state of the shock absorber shown in FIG. 1 (A) and FIG. It is a perspective view.
The business bag 200 includes a bag body 202. On the top of the bag body 202, a hand handle 204 is disposed. Further, on both sides of the bag body 202 in the length direction, connecting tools 208 such as D-cans are disposed. Further, a shoulder belt 210 can be detachably attached to the bag body 200. The shoulder belt 210 has a connecting tool 212 such as a round can at both ends thereof, and a connecting tool 214 such as a lever can be attached to the connecting tool 212. The shoulder belt 210 is detachably attached to the bag body 202 by engaging the connection tool 214 with the connection tool 208 of the bag body 202. In this case, in the bag cushion 10 according to the present embodiment, the connecting portion 40 is detachably attached to one connecting member 208 of the bag body 202, and the attaching portion 26 is a connecting tool on one end side of the shoulder belt 210. 214 is detachably attached.
 図20は、本発明に係るバッグの緩衝具の実施の形態のさらに他の例を示す図であって、図20(A)は正面図であり、図20(B)は内部構造を示す要部平面図である。図21は、図20(A)および図20(B)に示すバッグの緩衝具の分解斜視図である。図22は、図20(A)および図20(B)に示すバッグの緩衝具の主として、案内ロッド、支持部材、圧縮コイルばね、押圧部(リング部材,締結部材)の配置を説明するための分解斜視図である。図23は、図20(A),20(B)および図21に示す緩衝具において、荷重が作用したときの圧縮コイルばねの圧縮状態を示す要部平面図である。
 このバッグの緩衝具10は、たとえば図1~図6に示すバッグの緩衝具10と比べて、特に、ケース内に組み付けられる、支持部材、案内ロッド、圧縮コイルばね、押圧部の各部材の個数およびそれらの配置が相違している。図1~図6に示すバッグの緩衝具10では、1つのケース12内に、それぞれ、単一の支持部材20、案内ロッド24、圧縮コイルばね30、押圧部32を組み込んだ構成としているのに対して、図20~図23に示すバッグの緩衝具10では、支持部材20、案内ロッド、圧縮コイルばね、押圧部の各部材を横並びに配列した状態で1つのケース内に収納して、所謂、ツインタイプのコンパクトな構成としている点で相違している。
FIG. 20 is a view showing still another example of the embodiment of the bag cushioning device according to the present invention, FIG. 20 (A) is a front view, and FIG. 20 (B) is a diagram showing the internal structure. FIG. FIG. 21 is an exploded perspective view of the shock absorber of the bag shown in FIGS. 20 (A) and 20 (B). FIG. 22 is a view for explaining mainly the arrangement of the guide rod, the support member, the compression coil spring, and the pressing portion (ring member, fastening member) of the shock absorber of the bag shown in FIGS. 20 (A) and 20 (B). It is a disassembled perspective view. FIG. 23 is a plan view of a principal part showing a compression state of the compression coil spring when a load is applied in the shock absorber shown in FIGS. 20 (A), 20 (B) and FIG. 21.
Compared with the bag cushioning device 10 shown in FIGS. 1 to 6, for example, the bag cushioning device 10 has a number of members such as a support member, a guide rod, a compression coil spring, and a pressing portion assembled in the case. And their arrangement is different. The bag cushion 10 shown in FIGS. 1 to 6 has a structure in which a single support member 20, a guide rod 24, a compression coil spring 30, and a pressing portion 32 are incorporated in one case 12, respectively. On the other hand, in the bag shock absorber 10 shown in FIGS. 20 to 23, the support member 20, the guide rod, the compression coil spring, and the pressing portion are housed in one case in a side-by-side arrangement. It is different in that it has a twin type compact configuration.
 すなわち、図20~図23に示すバッグの緩衝具10では、特に、図21に示すように、ケース12が、間隔を隔てて横並びに配置されるたとえば2つの収納部74,76を含む。2つの収納部74および76は、それぞれ、半体収納部74A,74Bおよび半体収納部76A,76Bで構成されている。半体収納部74A,74Bおよび半体収納部76A,76Bは、それぞれ、収納部74および76が仕切部77により仕切られて配設されている。また、ケース12内の軸方向(長さ方向)には、ケース12の幅方向に間隔を隔てて横並びに、たとえば筒状の2つの支持部材78A,78Bが配設されている。2つの支持部材78A,78Bの外周面には、それぞれ、突縁部80A,80Bが形成されている。この2つの突縁部80A,80Bは、支持部材連接部82によって連接され、たとえば長円状に一体化された構造となっている。 That is, in the shock absorber 10 of the bag shown in FIGS. 20 to 23, the case 12 includes, for example, two storage portions 74 and 76 that are arranged side by side with an interval, as shown in FIG. The two storage portions 74 and 76 are configured by half- body storage portions 74A and 74B and half- body storage portions 76A and 76B, respectively. The half body storage portions 74A and 74B and the half body storage portions 76A and 76B are arranged such that the storage portions 74 and 76 are partitioned by a partition portion 77, respectively. In addition, in the axial direction (length direction) in the case 12, for example, two cylindrical support members 78 </ b> A and 78 </ b> B are arranged side by side in the width direction of the case 12 with an interval. Protrusions 80A and 80B are formed on the outer peripheral surfaces of the two support members 78A and 78B, respectively. The two projecting edge portions 80A and 80B are connected by a support member connecting portion 82, and have an integrated structure, for example, in an oval shape.
 また、2つの収納部74,76には、2つの案内ロッド84A,84Bが組み付けられている。つまり、2つの案内ロッド84A,84Bは、間隔を隔てて横並びに配置されている。この2つの案内ロッド84A,84Bは、その軸方向の一端部が、たとえば略円弧状のロッド連接部86によって連接されている。2つの案内ロッド84A,84Bと、ロッド連接部86とは、一体的に形成され、たとえば略U字形の案内ロッド84を構成している。この案内ロッド84のロッド連接部86は、ケース12の軸方向の一端側から露出するように、ケース12に組み付けされるものとなっている。すなわち、ロッド連接部86は、取付部としての機能も有するものとなっている。以下、このロッド連結部86を便宜上「取付部」と称することもある。 Moreover, two guide rods 84A and 84B are assembled to the two storage portions 74 and 76. That is, the two guide rods 84A and 84B are arranged side by side at a distance. The two guide rods 84A and 84B are connected at one end in the axial direction by a rod connecting portion 86 having a substantially arc shape, for example. The two guide rods 84A and 84B and the rod connecting portion 86 are integrally formed and constitute, for example, a substantially U-shaped guide rod 84. The rod connecting portion 86 of the guide rod 84 is assembled to the case 12 so as to be exposed from one end side in the axial direction of the case 12. That is, the rod connecting part 86 has a function as an attaching part. Hereinafter, the rod connecting portion 86 may be referred to as an “attachment portion” for convenience.
 この場合、たとえば図21に示すように、半体収納部74A,74Bおよび半体収納部76A,76Bは、その軸方向(長さ方向)の一端部に、2つの案内ロッド84A,84Bの軸方向の他端側のロッド連接部86を露出させるために、たとえば断面半円状の挿通凹部85A,85Bがそれぞれ配設されている。半体収納部74A,74Bおよび半体収納部76A,76Bが上下に突き合わされることにより、挿通凹部85A,85Bは、2つの案内ロッド84A,84Bの軸方向の他端側のロッド連接部86を露出させるための挿通孔87A,87Bとなる。 In this case, for example, as shown in FIG. 21, the half- body storage portions 74A and 74B and the half- body storage portions 76A and 76B are arranged at the ends of the two guide rods 84A and 84B at one end in the axial direction (length direction). In order to expose the rod connecting portion 86 on the other end side in the direction, for example, insertion concave portions 85A and 85B each having a semicircular cross section are provided. By inserting the half-body accommodating portions 74A and 74B and the half-body accommodating portions 76A and 76B vertically, the insertion recesses 85A and 85B are connected to the rod connecting portion 86 on the other end side in the axial direction of the two guide rods 84A and 84B. It becomes insertion hole 87A, 87B for exposing.
 さらに、ケース12内には、2つの案内ロッド84A,84Bの軸方向に沿って、2つの案内ロッド84A,84Bの周囲に、たとえば2つの圧縮コイルばね88A,88Bが配置されている。また、ケース12内には、2つの圧縮コイルばね88A,88Bを2つの支持部材78A,78B側に圧縮する2つの押圧部90A,90Bが配置されている。2つの押圧部90A,90Bは、2つのリング部材92A,92Bと2つの締結部材94A,94を有するものである。 Further, in the case 12, for example, two compression coil springs 88A and 88B are disposed around the two guide rods 84A and 84B along the axial direction of the two guide rods 84A and 84B. In the case 12, two pressing portions 90A and 90B for compressing the two compression coil springs 88A and 88B toward the two support members 78A and 78B are disposed. The two pressing portions 90A, 90B have two ring members 92A, 92B and two fastening members 94A, 94.
 また、このケース12A内およびケース12B内の軸方向の他端側には、それぞれ、図20(B)および図21に示すように、ケース12の軸中心線と直交する方向に配設されるたとえば2列の咬合列96A,96Bを有する咬合部96を含む。2列の咬合列96A,96Bは、ケース12A内およびケース12B内の軸方向に間隔を隔てて配列される。2列の咬合列96A,96Bは、それぞれ、複数の咬合凹凸部97A,97Bが互いに咬合して形成されている。この場合、2列の96A,96Bの内、ケース12A内およびケース12B内の軸方向の他端側に最も近い位置に配置される咬合列96Aは、外側咬合列として形成される。さらに、各外側咬合列96Aの近傍で、且つ、ケース12A,12Bの軸方向にみて、ケース12A,12Bの内側寄りの位置には、上記した連結部40が係着される係着部95A,95Bが配設されている。連結部40は、係着部95A,95Bに係着されると共に、外側咬合列96Aにより強固に支持されるものとなっている。 Further, the other end side in the axial direction in the case 12A and the case 12B is disposed in a direction orthogonal to the axial center line of the case 12, as shown in FIGS. For example, it includes an occlusal portion 96 having two occlusion rows 96A and 96B. The two occlusion rows 96A and 96B are arranged in the case 12A and the case 12B with an interval in the axial direction. The two occlusion rows 96A and 96B are formed by engaging a plurality of occlusal uneven portions 97A and 97B with each other. In this case, of the two rows 96A and 96B, the occlusion row 96A arranged at the position closest to the other end side in the axial direction in the case 12A and the case 12B is formed as an outer occlusion row. Further, in the vicinity of each outer occlusion row 96A and in the axial direction of the cases 12A and 12B, at the positions closer to the inner sides of the cases 12A and 12B, the engaging portions 95A, 95B is provided. The connecting portion 40 is engaged with the engaging portions 95A and 95B and is firmly supported by the outer occlusion row 96A.

Can be attached freely.
 本実施の形態に係るバッグの緩衝具10では、例えば、上記した、図19に示すビジネスバッグ200、図24に示すボストンバッグ300および図25に示すショルダーバッグ400に用いられた場合、以下に示す共通の作用・効果を有するものとなっている。
 すなわち、このバッグの緩衝具10が適用されたバッグ(200,300,400)において、ハンドル(204,304)および/またはショルダーベルト(210,310,406)を介してバッグ本体(202,302,402)を持ち運ぶ際に、当該緩衝具10の取付部(26,86)を介して案内ロッド(24,84A,84B)に、および、連結部40を介してケース12にバッグの荷重が作用すると、ケース12の軸方向にみて、ケース12および案内ロッド(24,84A,84B)が互いに離れる方向に相対移動する。
In the bag shock absorber 10 according to the present embodiment, for example, when used in the business bag 200 shown in FIG. 19, the Boston bag 300 shown in FIG. 24, and the shoulder bag 400 shown in FIG. It has common actions and effects.
That is, in the bag (200, 300, 400) to which the bag cushioning device 10 is applied, the bag body (202, 302,) is provided via the handle (204, 304) and / or the shoulder belt (210, 310, 406). 402) When the bag load is applied to the guide rod (24, 84A, 84B) via the mounting portion (26, 86) of the shock absorber 10 and the case 12 via the connecting portion 40 when carrying the As seen in the axial direction of the case 12, the case 12 and the guide rods (24, 84A, 84B) relatively move away from each other.
 それによって、押圧部(32,90A,90B)のリング部材(34,92A,92B)と、支持部材(20,78A,78B)とが、互いに近づくように移動し、圧縮コイルばね(30,88A,88B)は、支持部材(20,78A,78B)側と押圧部(32,90A,90B)との間で圧縮されて圧縮コイルばね(30,88A,88B)のばね反力を生じる。このとき、バッグ(200,300,400)の動荷重による使用者の手首、腕、肘、肩、背中、腰、膝等への負担は、圧縮コイルばね(30,88A,88B)の圧縮によるばね反力によって吸収され、緩和・軽減される。 Thereby, the ring member (34, 92A, 92B) of the pressing portion (32, 90A, 90B) and the support member (20, 78A, 78B) move so as to approach each other, and the compression coil spring (30, 88A) , 88B) is compressed between the support member (20, 78A, 78B) side and the pressing portion (32, 90A, 90B) to generate a spring reaction force of the compression coil spring (30, 88A, 88B). At this time, the burden on the user's wrist, arm, elbow, shoulder, back, waist, knee, etc. due to the dynamic load of the bag (200, 300, 400) is due to compression of the compression coil spring (30, 88A, 88B). It is absorbed by the spring reaction force and relaxed or reduced.
 バッグ(200,300,400)は、圧縮コイルばね(30,88A,88B)の圧縮に伴うばね反力に抗して動作するので、持ち運び動作が終了して、バッグ(200,300,400)のハンドル(204,304)および/またはショルダーベルト(210,310,406)に掛かっていた荷重が取り除かれると、ケース12および案内ロッド(24,84A,84B)が互いに近づく方向に相対移動して初期状態に戻る。つまり、バッグ(200,300,400)は、ハンドル(204,304)および/またはショルダーベルト(210,310,406)を介して、バッグ(200,300,400)を持ち運ぶ前の静止状態に戻る。 Since the bag (200, 300, 400) operates against the spring reaction force accompanying the compression of the compression coil spring (30, 88A, 88B), the carrying operation is finished and the bag (200, 300, 400) is finished. When the load applied to the handle (204, 304) and / or the shoulder belt (210, 310, 406) is removed, the case 12 and the guide rod (24, 84A, 84B) move relative to each other. Return to the initial state. That is, the bag (200, 300, 400) returns to a stationary state before carrying the bag (200, 300, 400) via the handle (204, 304) and / or the shoulder belt (210, 310, 406). .
 案内ロッド(24,84A,84B)は、支持部材(20,78A,78B)の内周面に沿って案内され、スムーズにケース12の軸方向に安定して変位するため、案内ロッド(24,84A,84B)の軸心に対する横振れおよび振動が生じ難いものとなっている。さらに、圧縮コイルばね(30,88A,88B)は、支持部材(20,78A,78B)の外周面に沿って圧縮するため、圧縮コイルばね(30,88A,88B)のコイル中心線に対する横振れおよび振動が生じ難いものとなり、その結果、圧縮コイルばね(30,88A,88B)が案内ロッド(24,84A,84B)に当接して擦れることを防止し、また、圧縮コイルばね(30,88A,88B)が圧縮されたときの座屈も防止することが可能となり、圧縮コイルばね(30,88A,88B)を保護するものとなっている。 The guide rods (24, 84A, 84B) are guided along the inner peripheral surface of the support member (20, 78A, 78B) and smoothly and stably displace in the axial direction of the case 12. 84A and 84B) are less likely to cause lateral vibration and vibration. Further, since the compression coil springs (30, 88A, 88B) are compressed along the outer peripheral surface of the support member (20, 78A, 78B), the lateral deflection of the compression coil springs (30, 88A, 88B) with respect to the coil center line is performed. As a result, the compression coil spring (30, 88A, 88B) is prevented from coming into contact with and rubbing against the guide rod (24, 84A, 84B), and the compression coil spring (30, 88A) , 88B) can be prevented from buckling when compressed, and the compression coil springs (30, 88A, 88B) are protected.
 すなわち、支持部材(20,78A,78B)は、案内ロッド(24,84A,84B)および圧縮コイルばね(30,88A,88B)の横振れおよび振動を規制して、当該案内ロッド(24,84A,84B)および圧縮コイルばね(30,88A,88B)を保護する機能を有するものとなっている。また、圧縮コイルばね(30,88A,88B)の圧縮による当該圧縮コイルばね(30,88A,88B)と案内ロッド(24,84A,84B)との摩擦抵抗も少なくなるため、圧縮コイルばね(30,88A,88B)は、円滑に圧縮されるものとなっている。 In other words, the support member (20, 78A, 78B) regulates the lateral vibration and vibration of the guide rod (24, 84A, 84B) and the compression coil spring (30, 88A, 88B), and the guide rod (24, 84A). , 84B) and the compression coil springs (30, 88A, 88B). Further, since the friction resistance between the compression coil springs (30, 88A, 88B) and the guide rods (24, 84A, 84B) due to compression of the compression coil springs (30, 88A, 88B) is reduced, the compression coil springs (30 , 88A, 88B) are smoothly compressed.
 一方、この緩衝具10の連結部40は、咬合部(42,96)によって支持されるように、ケース12の軸方向の他方側に組み付けられているので、強固に組み付けられ、ケース12から抜け難いものとなっている。そのため、ハンドル(204,304)および/またはショルダーベルト(210,310,406)を介してバッグ(200,300,400)を持ち運ぶ際に、当該緩衝具10の案内ロッド(24,84A,84B)および連結部40にバッグ(200,300,400)の荷重が作用した場合でも、この連結部40はバッグ本体(202,302,402)および/またはショルダーベルト(210,310,406)から外れ難いものとなっている。 On the other hand, the coupling portion 40 of the shock absorber 10 is assembled on the other side in the axial direction of the case 12 so as to be supported by the occlusal portions (42, 96). It has become difficult. Therefore, when carrying the bag (200, 300, 400) via the handle (204, 304) and / or the shoulder belt (210, 310, 406), the guide rod (24, 84A, 84B) of the shock absorber 10 is carried out. Even when the load of the bag (200, 300, 400) acts on the connecting portion 40, the connecting portion 40 is unlikely to be detached from the bag body (202, 302, 402) and / or the shoulder belt (210, 310, 406). It has become a thing.
 また、図24に示すボストンバッグ300、および、図25に示すショルダーバッグ400に適用されるバッグの緩衝具10では、特に、案内ロッド84A,84B、圧縮コイルばね88A,88B、押圧部90A,90Bの各部材を横並びに配列した状態で1つのケース12内に収納した構造となっているため、所謂、ツインタイプのコンパクトな構造とすることができる。この場合、所定の長さを有する単一の圧縮コイルばねで得られる緩衝機能を、当該単一の圧縮コイルばねの長さの半分の長さを有する一対の2つのコイルばねと代替しても、当初の設定した緩衝機能を維持することができる。 Further, in the bag shock absorber 10 applied to the Boston bag 300 shown in FIG. 24 and the shoulder bag 400 shown in FIG. 25, the guide rods 84A and 84B, the compression coil springs 88A and 88B, and the pressing portions 90A and 90B are particularly provided. Since each member is accommodated in one case 12 in a state of being arranged side by side, a so-called twin type compact structure can be obtained. In this case, even if the buffer function obtained by a single compression coil spring having a predetermined length is replaced with a pair of two coil springs having a length half that of the single compression coil spring. Thus, the originally set buffer function can be maintained.
 一方で、たとえば図7~図10に示すゴルフバッグ100のように大形で比較的重量のあるバッグでは、有効長の長い圧縮コイルばね30を採用することによりケース12の長さが長くなってもあまり不都合は感じられないが、例えば、図19に示すビジネスバック200、図24に示すボストンバッグ300および図25に示すショルダーバッグ400等のように中形,小形で比較的重量も小さいバッグでは、必要以上の緩衝機能を得るために、ケースの長さが長くなることは、不具合を生じるものとなり、美観の点においても優れたものではない。したがって、ツインタイプのコンパクトな構成とする、たとえば図20~図23に示すバッグの緩衝具10は、手提げタイプ、肩掛けタイプ、背負いタイプおよびそれらを2つ以上兼用するタイプの小形,中形のバッグのハンドルおよび/またはショルダーベルトに適用されて好適なものとなっている。 On the other hand, for example, in a large and relatively heavy bag such as the golf bag 100 shown in FIGS. 7 to 10, the length of the case 12 is increased by adopting the compression coil spring 30 having a long effective length. However, for example, in a business bag 200 shown in FIG. 19, a Boston bag 300 shown in FIG. 24, a shoulder bag 400 shown in FIG. In order to obtain a buffer function more than necessary, an increase in the length of the case causes a problem and is not excellent in terms of aesthetics. Therefore, the shock absorber 10 of the bag shown in FIGS. 20 to 23, for example, having a compact configuration of a twin type, is a handbag type, a shoulder type, a backpack type, and a small and medium type bag that combines two or more of them. The present invention is suitable for application to a handle and / or a shoulder belt.
 また、本実施の形態に係るバッグの緩衝具10は、上述したいずれのバッグ(ゴルフバック100,ビジネスバッグ200,ボストンバッグ300およびショルダーバッグ400)のいずれにおいても、ケース12および案内ロッド(24,84A,84B)が互いに離れる方向に相対的に移動(変位)したとき、支持部材(20,78A,78B)は、その突縁部(22,80A,80B)がケース12の係止凹部62に係止される。すなわち、支持部材(20,78A,78B)は、このケース12および案内ロッド(24,84A,84B)の相対移動に連動して移動することが規制され、ケース12内に安定して位置決めされるものとなっている。 In addition, the bag cushion 10 according to the present embodiment includes the case 12 and the guide rod (24, 24) in any of the above-described bags (the golf bag 100, the business bag 200, the Boston bag 300, and the shoulder bag 400). 84A, 84B) move (displace) relative to each other in the direction away from each other, the support member (20, 78A, 78B) has its projecting edge (22, 80A, 80B) in the locking recess 62 of the case 12. Locked. That is, the support member (20, 78A, 78B) is restricted from moving in conjunction with the relative movement of the case 12 and the guide rods (24, 84A, 84B), and is stably positioned in the case 12. It has become a thing.
 さらに、圧縮コイルばね(30,88A,88B)は、その長さ方向の一端部がリング部材(34,92A,92B)の面に当接され、その長さ方向の他端部が当該圧縮コイルばね(30,88A,88B)のコイル中心線の長さ方向にみて、収納部(52,74,76)と嵌合凹部60との境界部64の面(境界面)に当接される。
 すなわち、圧縮コイルばね(30,88A,88B)の長さ方向の両側を面で安定して支持することが可能となるため、圧縮コイルばね(30,88A,88B)を安定して案内ロッド(24,84A,84B)の周囲に間隔を隔てて正確に位置決めして配置することができる。
Further, the compression coil spring (30, 88A, 88B) has one end in the length direction in contact with the surface of the ring member (34, 92A, 92B), and the other end in the length direction is the compression coil. When viewed in the length direction of the coil center line of the spring (30, 88A, 88B), the spring (30, 88A, 88B) is brought into contact with the surface (boundary surface) of the boundary portion 64 between the storage portion (52, 74, 76) and the fitting recess 60.
