SUMMARY OF INVENTION

Technical Problem

As disclosed in Patent Literature 1, since the bag-like portion is formed in one end of the sleeping bag body, the sleeping bag body can be easily stored compared to a sleeping bag to be stored in a pouch.

However, in the sleeping bag disclosed in Patent Literature 1, the bag-like portion is sewn to the sleeping bag body to be integrated with each other, which causes a complicated structure as a whole. Accordingly, the sleeping bag is difficult to be washed in actually. Further, in a case in which only the sleeping bag body is dried when the sleeping bag body gets wet or absorbs sweat, the bag-like portion is handled together and thus is annoying when drying the sleeping bag body.

An object of the present invention is, in order to solve such problems, to provide a sleeping bag storage bag that can make a size of a sleeping bag to be stored small and can be washed or dried separately from a sleeping bag, which facilitates the handling thereof, and to provide a sleeping bag set.

Solution to Problem

In order to solve the above-described problems, the sleeping bag storage bag and the sleeping bag set according to the present invention employ the following aspects.

A sleeping bag storage bag according to the present invention includes a main part that is formed to be attachable to and detachable from one end of a sleeping bag and is formed to store the sleeping bag therein, and a strap that is fixed to the main part and is formed to tighten the sleeping bag that is compressed to be stored in the main part.

According to this aspect, in the sleeping bag storage bag, the main part that is formed to store the sleeping bag is formed to be attachable to and detachable from the one end of the sleeping bag to be stored, and the strap that is fixed to the main part is formed to tighten the sleeping bag that is compressed to be stored in the main part. Thus, since the main part is attached to the sleeping bag to be integrated with each other, when the sleeping bag is folded or rolled for storing the sleeping bag in the main part, the main part is not separated from the sleeping bag and the compressed sleeping bag is hardly expanded. Accordingly, the compressed sleeping bag is easily stored in the main part. Further, since the main part is formed to be detachable from the sleeping bag, the sleeping bag and the main part can be separately washed and dried. Further, a size of the sleeping bag to be stored can be made small by tightening the strap.

In addition to the preceding invention, the strap may be fixed to an inner surface of the main part.

According to this aspect, since the strap is fixed to the inner surface of the main part, when the sleeping bag is tightened by the strap, a wrinkle is not caused by the strap on the main part located at an outer peripheral side relative to the strap, so that an outer surface of the main part can be finely kept.

In addition or in the alternative to the preceding inventions, the main part may be formed to be attachable to and detachable from the one end of the sleeping bag using a hook-and-loop fastener, a hook button, a slide fastener, or a button.

A sleeping bag set according to the present invention includes the above-described sleeping bag storage bag, and a sleeping bag that is formed to be attachable to and detachable from the main part of the sleeping bag storage bag at its one end.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

Hereinafter, a sleeping bag storage bag 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention is described with reference to drawings.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the sleeping bag storage bag 1 of this embodiment has a main part 2 and a strap 3. As shown in FIG. 8, the sleeping bag storage bag 1 is formed to store a sleeping bag 20 therein. A size of the sleeping bag 20 to be stored can be made small by tightening the strap 3. Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the main part 2 of the sleeping bag storage bag 1 is detachable from the sleeping bag 20, and thus the sleeping bag 20 and the main part 2 can be separately washed and dried.

The main part 2 has a size and a shape for storing the sleeping bag 20 therein. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a handle 4 is mounted to an outside of the main part 2. Thus, when the sleeping bag 20 is stored and a slide fastener 8 is closed, the sleeping bag storage bag 1 is shaped in a Boston bag. The handle or a belt mounted to the outside of the main part 2 is not limited to such an example, and thus the sleeping bag storage bag 1 may be formed to be shaped in a backpack or a shoulder bag.

The main part 2 has, for example, a side bottom portion 5, an end portion 6 and a lid portion 7 that are formed of fabric. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, in a state in which the main part 2 is developed, each of the side bottom portion 5 and the lid portion 7 has a rectangular shape and the end portion 6 has, for example a circular shape. The configuration of the main part according to the present invention is not limited to such an example, and thus other shape of the main part may be employed as long as the main part is openable and closeable and is formed to cover an outer peripheral surface of the compressed sleeping bag.

In the sleeping bag storage bag 1, a long side edge part of the side bottom portion 5 is sewn to the end portion 6 along an edge part of a circular shape of the end portion 6. The end portion 6 is formed by two semi-circular fabrics combined to each other and has the slide fastener 8 in a diametrical direction to pass through the center of the circular shape of the end portion 6. As shown in FIG. 2, when the slide fasteners 8 of the both end portions 6 are closed, the two semi-circular fabrics are engaged in each end portion 6 so that the main part 2 is closed. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 5, when the slide fasteners 8 of the both end portions 6 are opened, the two semi-circular fabrics are separated in each end portion 6 so that the side bottom portion 5 of the main part 2 is enabled to spread in a longitudinal direction though wrinkles are caused on the side bottom portion 5 constrained by the end portions 6.

In this embodiment, the example is described that employs the slide fastener 8 in the end portion 6, however the present invention is not limited to such an example. For example, a hook-and-loop fastener, a hook button or a combination of a button and a button hole may be employed to open and close the end portion 6.

In this embodiment, the example is described that employs the end portion 6 formed by the combination of the two semi-circular fabrics, however the present invention is not limited to such an example. For example, the end portion may be a circular fabric. In this case, the end portion is opened and closed by a slide fastener, which is openable and closeable, disposed on an edge part of the circular end portion and an edge part of the side bottom portion.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the width of the side bottom portion 5 and the width of the lid portion 7 are identical to each other, and the lid portion 7 is disposed to extend from the side bottom portion 5. The lid portion 7 is not sewn to the end portion 6 at its edge part, and thus the lid portion 7 covers above the outer surface of the side bottom portion 5 when the main part 2 is closed as shown in FIG. 2. In this embodiment, the example is described that employs the lid portion 7 disposed in the main part 2, however the sleeping bag storage bag according to the present invention may employ a configuration without the lid portion 7.

The main part 2 is formed to be attachable to and detachable from one end of the sleeping bag 20 at an inner surface side of the closed main part 2 and at one end portion of the main part 2 in the longitudinal direction. FIG. 3 shows an example in which hook-and-loop fasteners 9 are disposed in the main part 2 at two positions thereof, respectively. As shown in FIG. 5, another hook-and-loop fastener 21 that corresponds to the hook-and-loop fastener 9 on the main part 2 is disposed at one end of the sleeping bag 20. As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the main part 2 is enabled to be attached to and detached from the sleeping bag 20 using the hook-and-loop fastener 9 of the main part 2 and the hook-and-loop fastener 21 of the sleeping bag 20. A sleeping bag set is formed by the sleeping bag storage bag 1 and the sleeping bag 20.

In this embodiment, the example is described that employs the hook-and-loop fastener 9 in the main part 2, however the present invention is not limited to such an example. For example, a hook button, a slide fastener or a combination of a button and a button hole may be employed to allow the main part 2 to be attached to and detached from the one end of the sleeping bag 20.

As shown in FIG. 3, the band-like strap 3 is sewn and fixed to the main part 2 on an inner surface of the closed main part 2. For example, two straps 3 are disposed along a longitudinal direction of the side bottom portion 5 of the main part 2. A buckle 10 is disposed at an end portion of the strap 3. After the straps 3 are set along the outer periphery of the compressed sleeping bag 20, the buckles 10 at both end portions are coupled to each other and the strap 3 is pulled, so that the sleeping bag 20 is tightened by the strap 3.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 8, since the strap 3 is fixed to the inner surface of the main part 2, when the sleeping bag 20 is tightened by the strap 3, wrinkles are not caused by the strap 3 on the main part 2 located at the outer peripheral side relative to the strap 3, and thus the outer surface of the main part 2 is finely kept.

As shown in FIG. 3, a hook-and-loop fastener 11 is disposed at an inner side of the lid portion 7 of the main part 2. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, a hook-and-loop fastener 12 that corresponds to the hook-and-loop fastener 11 is disposed at an outer side of the side bottom portion 5. When the hook-and-loop fastener 11 and the hook-and-loop fastener 12 are engaged with each other, the main part 2 is securely closed by the lid portion 7.

Next, a way of using the sleeping bag storage bag 1 according to this embodiment is described.

In storing the sleeping bag 20 in the sleeping bag storage bag 1, firstly, the slide fastener 8 is opened to spread the main part 2 along the longitudinal direction as shown in FIG. 5. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 6, the hook-and-loop fastener 21 of the sleeping bag 20 is engaged with the hook-and-loop fastener 9 of the main part 2. Thus, the main part 2 is attached to the one end of the sleeping bag 20.

Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the sleeping bag 20 is folded in two. Thereafter, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the sleeping bag 20 is rolled from the other side opposite to the side of the sleeping bag 20 to which the main part 2 is attached. At this time, the sleeping bag 20 is compressed to be stored in the sleeping bag storage bag 1. After the sleeping bag 20 is compressed to the position of the sleeping bag storage bag 1, the sleeping bag 20 is stored in the main part 2. When the sleeping bag 20 is stored in the sleeping bag storage bag 1, the sleeping bag 20 may be compressed in other way such as folding the sleeping bag 20 in three and then rolling the sleeping bag 20, or rolling the sleeping bag 20 without folding the sleeping bag 20.

Since the main part 2 is attached to the sleeping bag 20 to be integrated together, when storing the compressed sleeping bag 20 in the main part 2, the main part 2 is not separated from the sleeping bag 20 and the compressed sleeping bag 20 is hardly expanded. Accordingly, the sleeping bag 20 can be stored in the main part 2 while keeping a state in which the folded or rolled sleeping bag 20 is securely compressed. Thus, the compressed sleeping bag 20 is easily stored in the main part 2.

When storing the sleeping bag 20 in the main part 2, the strap 3 is set along the outer periphery of the compressed sleeping bag 20. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 8, the buckles 10 at both end portions of the strap 3 are coupled to each other and the strap 3 is pulled, so that the sleeping bag 20 is tightened by the strap 3. Thus, the size of the sleeping bag 20 to be stored can be made small.

Further, the slide fasteners 8 of the both end portions 6 are closed after or while storing the sleeping bag 20 in the main part 2. A tightening operation of the strap 3 and a closing operation of the slide fastener 8 are performed, so that the sleeping bag 20 is completely stored in the main part 2 as shown in FIG. 2.

Thereafter, the lid portion 7 is set along the outer peripheral surface of the side bottom portion 5 and the hook-and-loop fastener 11 and the hook-and-loop fastener 12 are engaged with each other, so that the main part 2 is securely closed by the lid portion 7.

When retrieving the sleeping bag 20 from the sleeping bag storage bag 1, the lid portion 7 is opened and the slide fastener 8 is opened, opposite to the above-described way. Thus, the sleeping bag 20 can be retrieved from the main part 2. Further, the sleeping bag 20 and the sleeping bag storage bag 1 that are coupled to each other via the hook-and-loop fastener 9 and the hook-and-loop fastener 21 can be detached from each other.

As described above, according to this embodiment, since the main part 2 is detachable from the sleeping bag 20, the sleeping bag 20 and the main part 2 can be separately washed and dried. Unlike a configuration in which the sleeping bag storage bag is sewn to and integrated with the sleeping bag, each of the sleeping bag 20 and the main part 2 does not have a complicated structure in a state in which the sleeping bag 20 and the main part 2 are detached from each other in this embodiment, which facilitates the handling thereof in washing. Also, when the sleeping bag 20 gets wet or absorbs sweat, only the sleeping bag 20 can be dried, and thus the sleeping bag storage bag 1 is not annoying when drying the sleeping bag 20.

Further, since the strap 3 is fixed to the inner surface of the main part 2, when the sleeping bag 20 is tightened by the strap 3, a complicated wrinkle is not caused by the strap 3 on the main part 2. The main part 2 located at the outer peripheral side relative to the strap 3 is pulled by the strap 3 to be slightly recessed inward, however a complicated wrinkle is not caused unlike the configuration in which the sleeping bag storage bag is tightened by the strap from the outer peripheral side of the sleeping bag storage bag, and thus the outer surface of the main part 2 can be finely kept.

The example is described that that strap 3 is disposed at the inside of the main part 2, however the present invention is not limited to such an example. The strap may be disposed at the outer peripheral side relative to the main part 2. In this case, the main part 2 is tightened by the strap from the outer peripheral side of the main part 2. Thus, unlike the configuration in which the strap 3 is disposed at the inside of the main part 2, the wrinkles are caused on not only the sleeping bag 20 but also the main part 2, and thus the outer surface of the main part 2 is not finely kept. However, the size of the stored sleeping bag 20 can be made small.
