TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention generally relates to container bags, and especially relates to a suspensible container bag assembly.

Description of the Prior Art

Generally, a container bag for storing small items, clothes, etc., is usually a container made of plastic, bamboo, fabric, or other appropriate material. The container bad usually has an opening on a top side so that objects can be put into or removed from the container bag through the opening. Some container bags are also collapsible into a smaller form factor for easier storage. The conventional container bags usually involve multiple components and are complex-structured. As such, their usage is not convenient and the production cost is not economic. On the other hand, the conventional container bags are designed to be placed on the ground or other flat surface, therefore always taking up some space. Some container bags therefore are designed to be hung on the wall or door. But the suspension structure is also a complex one and usually the number of container bags hung cannot be increased or decreased flexibly in accordance with the user demand.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

An objective of the present invention is to provide a suspensible container bag assembly that is structurally simplified, and more convenient to use, and that its number of container bags can be flexibly increased or decreased based on user demand.

The suspensible container bag assembly contains at least a main strip and at least a container bag. Each main strip has a suspension means on a top end and a number of fastening strips along its length. Each fastening strip has a first fastening section and a second fastening section that can be adhered to or detached from each other. Slots are configured on a side's outer surface of the container bag. A fastening strip runs through a slot and has its first and second fastening sections adhered to each other. The suspension means allows the assembly to hang reliably on a door, a wall, etc.

Each container bag has a storage space with a top opening. On an outer surface of a side of each container bag, there are a number of slots 32, each provided by an element fixed to the container bag, or integrally formed with the container bag.

Each main strip has a suspension means on a top end and a number of fastening strips along its length. Each fastening strip has a first fastening section and a second fastening section on a same side of the fastening strip that can be adhered to or detached from each other. After running a fastening strip of a main strip through a slot of a container bag and adhering the first and second fastening sections of the fastening strip together, the container bag is suspended on the main strip.

The suspension means of the main strip is a hook connected to the main strip so that the main strip can be hung on a door, on a wall, or on a similar object.

Alternatively, the suspension means is an extension of the main strip whose two locations on a same side have a first fastening section and a second fastening section, respectively, that can be adhered to or detached from each other.

With the above described structure, main strips can be conveniently hung on a door, on a wall, or on a similar object. Then, container bags can be suspended by the fastening strips r regularly on the main strips for convenient storage of various objects and items.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

The following descriptions are exemplary embodiments only, and are not intended to limit the scope, applicability or configuration of the invention in any way. Rather, the following description provides a convenient illustration for implementing exemplary embodiments of the invention. Various changes to the described embodiments may be made in the function and arrangement of the elements described without departing from the scope of the invention as set forth in the appended claims.

As shown in FIG. 1, a suspensible container bag assembly according to an embodiment of the present invention contains a number of main strips 1, a number of fastening strips 2, and a number of container bags 3. Each main strip 1 is made of a flexible material of appropriate strength and tenacity such as cloth. Each main strip 1's top end is joined to a suspension means for suspending the main strip 1 on a door, wall, or other similar object. In the present embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the suspension means is a U-shaped hook 11A made of a rigid material. Each main strip 1's top end is threaded through a slot of a hook 11A and locked to the hook 11A.

Each fastening strip 2 is also a flexible strip whose length is shorter than that of the main strip 1. On a same side's two ends of each fastening strip 2, a first fastening section 21 and a second fastening section 22 are configured. The first and second fastening sections 21 and 22, such as the Velcro fasteners, can be adhered to and detached from each other. Each fastening strip 2 is fixed to a main strip 1 by stitching, and the fastening strips 2 on a main strip 1 are arranged at appropriate intervals. When a fastening strip 2 is stitched to a main strip 2, its first and second fastening sections 21 and 22 face away from the main strip 1. As such, a fastening strip 2's first fastening section 21 can be adhered to its second fastening section 22 after the fastening strip 2 is folded.

Each container bag 3 is made of a soft material (such as cloth) or a rigid material (such as plastic) and has a storage space 31 with a top opening. On an outer surface of a side of each container bag 3, there are a number of slots 32, each for a fastening strip 2 to thread through. Each slot 32 can be provided by an element fixed to the container bag 3, or can be integrally formed with the container bag 3.

As shown in FIG. 2, a container bag 3 is suspended by having a fastening strip 2 to run through a slot 32 of the container bag 3 and adhering the fastening strip 2's first fastening section 21 to the second fastening section 22. As such, multiple container bags 3 are suspended on at least two main strips 2 as shown in FIG. 3. The assembly shown in FIG. 3 then can be hung on a door 4 as shown in FIG. 4, on a wall, or on a similar object, through the hooks 11A of the main strips 1. It is also possible to first hang at least two main strips 1 on a door, on a wall, or on a similar object, through the hooks 11A of the main strips 1. Then a container bag 3 is suspended on the main strips 1 by having a fastening strip 2 to run through a slot 32 of the container bag 3 and adhering the fastening strip 2's first fastening section 21 to the second fastening section 22.

FIG. 5 depicts another embodiment of the suspension means to the top end of the main strip 1. As illustrated, the hook 11B of the present embodiment is an extension of a main strip 1 and is formed replying on the material of the main strip 1. On a same side's two locations of each hook 11B, a first fastening section 12 and a second fastening section 13 are configured. The first and second fastening sections 12 and 13, such as the Velcro fasteners, can be adhered to and detached from each other. The first fastening sections 21 and 12 are of a same fastener of Velcro fasteners (such as the hook fastener of Velcro fasteners) and the second fastening sections 22 and 13 are also of a same fastener of Velcro fasteners (such as the loop fastener of the Velcro fasteners). The container bags 3 are suspended on at least two main strips 1 as described above. Then, the hooks 11B of the main strips 1 are run around a lateral beam (not shown) and their first fastening sections 12 are adhered to their second fastening sections 13 so that the assembly is reliably hung on the lateral beam. Alternatively, the hooks 11B of at least two main strips 1 are first run around a lateral beam and their first fastening sections 12 are adhered to their second fastening sections 13. Then, a number of container bags 3 are suspended on the main strips 1 as described above.
