Advantageous Effect of InventionAccording to the present invention, a strap which prevents the handles from slipping down from the shoulder without interfering with the convenience and a bag provided with the strap can be provided.
In the following, a strap and a bag of the present invention are described using drawings.
[Embodiment of Strap]First, one example of the strap of the present invention is described using
A strap 1 of the embodiment shown in
Next, the usage of the strap 1 shown in
A bag 5 shown in
As shown in
During further use, the length adjustment component 4 is used to adjust the length of the strap 1 and fit the strap 1 to the user. If the strap 1 is shortened in the state that the strap 1 is hooked on the handles 52, correspondingly, a force by which the strap 1 pulls the handles 52 is strengthen, and the handles 52 are in a bent state. On this occasion, the handles 52 can be prevented from slipping down from the shoulder.
Furthermore, even if the handles 52 are not in the bent state (the handles 52 are not in the state of always being pulled by the strap 1), the length of the strap 1 may be adjusted to an extent that the strap 1 is fit to the body of the user. On this occasion, when the handles 52 move to a direction of slipping down from the shoulder, the strap 1 limits the movement and the handles 52 can be prevented from slipping down from the shoulder.
In the state that the handles 52 are hung from the shoulder, the location of the bag 5 is mainly the side of the user and can be moved back and forth slightly. For example, by shifting the bag 5 to the front of the user, the user can confirm contents of the bag or avoid nuisance in a crowded train. In addition, for example, if the strap 1 is hooked on the handle 52 at the side of the user, the contents of the bag 5 can be confirmed easily. In this way, it is not necessary to change the location of the bag 5, so that the strap 1 described above can be used without interfering with the convenience of the bag 5.
Furthermore, the strap 1 does not require a special configuration as long as the bag can be hung from the shoulder, and the design of the bag itself is not limited. That is, if the bag has handles that can be hung over the shoulder, the bag can be used regardless of how the design is. For example, the bag can also be a bag with one handle.
Furthermore, the members for hooking the strap 1 on the handles 52 are not limited to the snap buttons. However, in a case that only the snap buttons are used as in the above-described embodiment, attachment to and detachment from the handles 52 can be easily done. For example, if the strap 1 is used when the user is riding a bicycle, the handles of the bag can be prevented from slipping down from the shoulder, and after the user gets off the bicycle, the strap 1 can be removed to use the bag only, so that applications of the bag can be expanded.
Furthermore, the strap 1 of the embodiment described above is one example, and other configurations which can be applied will be described.
[About Configuration of End Portions]As for the strap 1 shown in
In a state that the first engagement portion and the second engagement portion are engaged, other components serving as stoppers can also be provided so that the first engagement portion and the second engagement portion do not loosen or the rings are maintained even if the first engagement portion and the second engagement portion loosen. However, for example, in the strap 1 shown in
In the configuration of the first engagement portion and the second engagement portion of the present invention described above, for example, a configuration may be adopted in which a plurality of engageable locations are set in a manner that a plurality of the convex portions 22, 32 of the end portions 2, 3 in
Furthermore, the strap 1 shown in
If the strap 1 is hooked on the handles 52 as shown in
Furthermore, the configuration in which the strap 1 is hooked on the handles 52 is not limited to the configuration including the first engagement portion and the second engagement portion described above, and a configuration having hook-shaped components (referred to as “hook portions” hereinafter) can also be adopted. In this configuration, the handles 52 pass through spaces on inner sides of the hook portions. Here, entrances (between shafts and pointy ends of the hook portions) to the spaces may be opened/closed freely like snap swivels, or remain open. In
Furthermore, the case is described in which the two end portions 3, 2 have the same configuration in the strap 1 shown in
[About how Strap is Hooked to Handles]
In the description of
In
First, in
Furthermore, at the time of hooking the strap 1 on the handles 52, for example, the strap 1 on the front side of the user can also be hooked on the handles 52b, 52d on the back side of the user and not always hooked on the handles 52 on the same side. At this moment, for example, as shown in
In addition, in
In addition, instead of hooking the two end portions 2, 3 on the handles 52 as shown in
That is, regardless of the way and the configuration, as long as the strap 1 can be hooked on the handles 52, the handles 52 can be prevented from slipping down from the shoulder accordingly.
Furthermore, when there are two handles 52, it is preferable that the handles 52 on the outer side viewed from the user are hooked on; furthermore, it is preferable that the handles 52 are hooked on both the front side and the back side of the user.
[About Length Adjustment]As described above, when hooking the strap 1 on the handles 52, various ways can be adopted, and the length of the strap 1 surrounding the user varies with these ways. For example, comparing the occasion of
In the strap 1 of the embodiments described above, the configuration is described in which the strap 1 is hooked, from the front side and the back side of the user, on the handles capable of being hung over the shoulder. In the configuration, as long as the handles of the bag can be hooked from the shoulder, no other configuration is required. However, when the configuration in which the strap is attached to the bag side is adopted to make a bag having a strap, the same effect can also work.
For example, the convex portion 22 provided on the end portion 2 of the strap 1 shown in
The configuration above are the configurations in which the strap, which is provided from “the front side and the back side of the user by passing under the armpit on the side opposite to the side where the handles hung over the shoulder are”, is mounted in a manner different from the strap 1 shown in
Furthermore, in the configurations of the above-described bags, about the configuration of hooking the strap on the handles, a configuration the same as the configuration described in the embodiment of the strap 1 shown in
The above-described configuration of the bag adopts the configuration in which the strap is directly attached to the handles to prevent the handles from slipping down, but even if the strap is attached to a position other than the handles, the handles can also be prevented from slipping down. As one example, the configuration of the bag provided with the D-rings respectively on the two ends in the longitudinal direction of the bottom and the strap provided with the snap swivels on the two end portions are described (equivalent to one example of the fifth bag of the present invention). In this configuration, the strap is arranged from the front side and the back side of the user by going around the torso of the side opposite to the side where the handles hung over the shoulder, and the snap swivels in both end portions of the strap are respectively connected to the D-rings at the two ends of the bag bottom to be used (equivalent to one example of the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion in the fifth bag of the present invention). In this state, shaking of the bag body can be suppressed; as a result, the handles can be prevented from slipping down from the shoulder. Furthermore, the configuration in which the bag bottom and the strap can be connected is not limited to the above-described examples, for example, a configuration the same as the previously mentioned configuration capable of connecting the handles of the bag and the strap can be adopted. In addition, when legs are provided in the corners of the bag bottom, parts thinner than other parts are formed in one portion of shafts of the legs, and components engageable with the shafts are provided in the two ends of the strap, and thereby the bag bottom and the strap can also be connected. As described above, by providing the connecting portions capable of connecting the strap to the bag bottom, the shaking of the bag can be further suppressed, and the handles can be prevented from slipping down from the shoulder. Furthermore, preferably, the above-described connecting portions are on the two ends in the longitudinal direction of the bag bottom.
