The present invention relates to an article holder.

A roll-type article holder is known in which an article such as a pen or a brush is wrapped around a main body and stored (for example, Patent Document 1).

JP-A-2015-112461

In the roll-type article case, the main body is generally wound by wrapping a string around the main body or by wrapping a belt around the main body, which is troublesome.

An object of the present invention is to provide an article holder capable of easily bending the main body and holding the state.

The gist of the present invention is as follows.
(1) A main body that is opened and curved and has an article holding portion on the inner surface side.
A band attached to the main body, which transitions from a curved state to an extended state in which the cross-sectional shape expands in the out-of-plane direction and holds the main body in an open state. A band that transitions to the curved state and makes the main body curved by receiving an external force that partially deforms in the direction opposite to the out-of-plane direction.
An article case characterized by being equipped with.
(2) In the article case described in (1)
The band is an article holder arranged along a second direction orthogonal to the first direction in a central portion of the main body in an open state in the first direction.
(3) In the article case described in (2)
An article holder characterized in that a core material extending in the first direction is attached to at least one end of the main body in the second direction over both sides of the band in the first direction.
(4) In the article case according to any one of (1) to (3).
The band transitions to the stretched state by being stretched from the rolled state, which is the curved state, and holds the main body in the open state, and transitions to the rolled state by receiving the external force from the stretched state. , An article holder characterized in that the main body is wound until at least the portions at both ends in the winding direction of the main body overlap.
(5) In the article case described in (4)
On the inner surface side of the main body, at the end portion of the first direction orthogonal to the second direction, which is the extending direction of the band, the pen can be inserted and removed at a position away from the end portion on one side of the second direction. Slots are provided,
The pen slot is an article holder characterized in that when the main body is wound, the pen slot functions as a winding stopper for the main body by hitting the other end of the main body in the second direction.

In the article holder of the present invention, in order to make the main body in the open state curved, the band is changed from the extended state to the curved state by bending the main body or pushing the band. As a result, a force acts on the main body so as to bend from the band, the main body can be easily bent, and the main body can be held in a curved state by the band. Therefore, in the present invention, it does not take time and effort to bend the main body and maintain the state. To open the curved main body, open the main body and open the main body or push the band to extend the band. When the band is in the stretched state, the main body is held in the open state.

FIG. 1 is a view showing the inner surface side of the pen case 1 (article case) in the open state.
The pen case 1 is a roll type that houses a pen inside by being rolled up. The pen case 1 includes a main body 2 and a band 3.

The main body 2 accommodates the pen inside by being wound in the left-right direction in FIG. 1 from the open state. The main body 2 is rectangular in the open state. Hereinafter, the left-right direction in FIG. 1 in the main body 2 in the open state is described as the winding direction X (second direction), and the vertical direction in FIG. 1 orthogonal to the winding direction X is described as the width direction Y (first direction). .. The length of the winding direction X of the main body 2 is longer than the length of the width direction Y. The main body 2 includes a substrate 21 in which an outer surface fabric 211 located on the outer surface side and an inner surface fabric 212 located on the inner surface side are sewn along the edge when rolled. The color of the outer fabric 211 and the color of the inner fabric 212 are different. The outer fabric 211 is, for example, felt. The inner fabric 212 is, for example, a canvas.

On the inner surface side of the main body 2, a plurality of pen slots 22 (holding portions) are provided along the winding direction X at the end portion on one side (upper side in FIG. 1) in the width direction Y. The plurality of pen slots 22 are closer to the other side (left side in FIG. 1) in the winding direction X. The pen slot 221 located at the end of one side (right side in FIG. 1) in the winding direction X and the end portion of the main body 2 on one side (right side in FIG. 1) in the winding direction X are separated by a distance L1.

To form the pen slot 22, a rectangular cloth long in the winding direction X is bent in a bellows shape, and the valley portion, the end portion on one side (upper side in FIG. 1) in the width direction Y, and both ends in the winding direction X are formed. Sew on the substrate 21. As a result, the fabric and the substrate 21 form a plurality of bag-shaped pen slots 22 in which the other side in the width direction Y is open. As the cloth, for example, the same cloth as the outer cloth 211 is used. One pen can be inserted and removed from the pen slot 22. The pen slot 22 holds a pen to be inserted. The length L2 of the pen slot 22 is a length for holding from the pen tip to the middle of the grip, and is set shorter than a general one (see FIG. 3). As a result, the pen slot 22 does not overlap with the band 3 (and the accommodation space V2 of the band 3) described later.

A flap 23 is provided at the end of the inner surface side of the main body 2 on the other side (lower side in FIG. 1) in the width direction Y. The flap 23 is arranged closer to the other side (left side in FIG. 1) in the winding direction X. The flap 23 is formed of, for example, the same fabric as the outer fabric 211, and the end portion on the other side (lower side in FIG. 1) in the width direction Y is sewn along the edge of the substrate 21. The length L3 of the winding direction X of the flap 23 is the same as the length L3 of the winding direction X of the pen slot 22. The length L4 of the flap 23 in the width direction Y is shorter than the length L2 of the pen slot 22. The flap 23 is also provided so as not to overlap the band 3. The flap 23 is hung on the other end of a pen of sufficient length with one end inserted into the pen slot 22 (see FIG. 3) to prevent the pen from falling when the pen case 1 is wound. ..

An eraser holder 24 is provided at the corner of the inner surface side of the main body 2 on the other side in the width direction Y (lower side in FIG. 1) and on the one side in the winding direction X (right side in FIG. 1). To form the eraser holder 24, the corners of the rectangular fabric in a plan view are sewn along the corners of the substrate 21, and the end of the fabric on one side (upper side in FIG. 1) in the width direction Y is the substrate. Sew on 21. As a result, the dough and the substrate 21 form a bag-shaped eraser holder 24 in which the other side (left side in FIG. 1) in the winding direction X opens. As the cloth, for example, the same cloth as the outer cloth 211 is used. The length of the eraser holder 24 in the winding direction X is L1. The length of the eraser holder 24 in the width direction Y is L5, which is longer than the length L4 of the flap 23 and the length L2 of the pen slot 22. The eraser holder 24 is also provided at a position where it does not overlap with the band 3.

In the main body 2, on the end side of one of the winding directions X (right in FIG. 1) with respect to the pen slot 221, there is a seam 251 for sewing the substrate 2 (outer surface fabric 211 and inner surface fabric 212). The seam 251 extends in the width direction Y of the main body 2. Inside the main body 2, a storage space V1 is formed by the seams 251 and the seams 252 along the edges of the main body 2. The accommodation space V1 extends in the width direction Y of the main body 2. The core material 25 is accommodated in the accommodation space V1. The core material 25 has substantially the same length as the length of the accommodation space V1 in the width direction Y, and extends across both sides of the band 3 in the width direction Y. As the material of the core material 25, a metal, resin, or the like having a higher rigidity than the substrate 21 can be used. The core material 25 may be fixed to at least one of the outer surface fabric 211 and the inner surface fabric 212 by adhesion or the like.

At the center of the main body 2 in the width direction Y, there are seams 261,262 for sewing the substrate 2 at intervals in the width direction Y and over the winding direction X. Inside the substrate 21, a storage space V2 is formed by the seams 261,262, the seams 251 for accommodating the core material 25, and the seams 252 along the edge of the main body 2. The accommodation space V2 extends substantially along the winding direction X of the main body 2.

The band 3 is accommodated in the accommodation space V2. The band 3 has substantially the same length as the length of the winding direction X of the accommodation space V2. The band 3 is a plate-shaped member such as a metal having a characteristic as a wound leaf spring, and transitions between a wound state and an extended state by the same principle as the so-called patchon band.

FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view showing the band 2.
In the stretched state, the band 3 has a cross-sectional shape that bulges toward the inner surface side (upper side in FIG. 2) of the main body 2 and maintains this state. As a result, the band 3 keeps the main body 2 in the open state in the stretched state.

In the stretched state, the band 3 becomes self-sustaining when it receives an external force that partially deforms to the outer surface side (lower side in FIG. 2) of the main body 2, specifically, an external force that deforms so that the cross-sectional shape becomes flat. Transition to the winding state.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an operation example in which the main body 2 is wound.
When the main body 2 in the open state is rolled up, the user faces the inner surface side of the main body 2 toward the user and holds both ends of the main body 2 in the winding direction with both hands. The user presses the band 3 with, for example, the thumb of the left hand. The band 3 receives a force pushed from the bulging side in a cross-sectional view, that is, an external force deforming so that the cross-sectional shape of the pressed portion becomes flat. Then, the cross-sectional shape of the band 3 becomes flat from the portion that receives the external force, and this phenomenon instantly spreads to the whole, and the band 3 transitions to a winding state (curved state) in which a force to curl works. When the band 3 transitions to the winding state, a "click" sound is heard, so the user may press the band 3 until the band 3 makes a "click" sound.

When the user releases his left hand from the other side (left side in FIG. 3) in the winding direction X of the main body 2, the band 3 is in the winding direction X of the main body 2 as referred to in FIGS. 4A to 4D. It curls up from the other side (left side in FIGS. 3 and 4) and finally becomes rolled. As the band 3 is wound, the main body 2 is wound until the portions at both ends of the winding direction X overlap. 4 (A) to 4 (D) are schematic views showing how the main body 2 is wound, and only FIG. 4 (D) shows the pen slot 22.

When the main body 2 is wound, as referred to in FIG. 4 (D), the end of the other side (left side in FIG. 3) in the winding direction X of the main body 3 is one side in the winding direction X of the main body 3. It is located, for example, inside the end (right side in FIG. 3). The other end of the main body 3 in the winding direction X is located near or in contact with the pen slot 221 on the one side in the winding direction X of the main body 3. The pen slots 22 are arranged in the circumferential direction inside the main body 2.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the main body 2 can be easily rolled up and held in the rolled state simply by pushing the band 3 in the main body 2 in the open state. As a result, a pen, an eraser, or the like is housed inside the main body 2, and the pen case 1 can be carried.

Further, in the present embodiment, the pen slot 221 at one end (right side in FIG. 3) in the winding direction X is provided away from the end portion of the main body 2. When the main body 2 is wound, the pen slot 221 functions as a winding stopper for the main body 2 by hitting the other end (left side in FIG. 3) of the main body 2 in the winding direction X.

In the present embodiment, since the band 3 is located at the center of the main body 2 in the width direction Y, the main body 2 can be wound more efficiently by the band 3.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an end portion of the main body 2 located on the outer surface side of the main body 2 in a rolled state.
At the end of the main body 2 of FIG. 5, the central portion in the width direction Y tends to sink inward by receiving a force inward from the band 3. Further, this makes it easy for both ends of the main body 2 in the width direction Y to jump outward.

In the present embodiment, the core material 25 is provided at the end of the main body 2, and the core material 25 extends on both sides of the band 3 in the width direction Y. Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the main body 2 is wound, the core material 25 allows the end portion to have a linear shape along the outer surface of the main body 2, and the appearance of the pen case 1 can be improved.

When opening the rolled pen case 1, the user first holds both ends of the winding direction X of the main body 2 with both hands and opens the main body 2 in the winding direction X. Subsequently, the user causes the band 3 to transition to the extended state by opening the main body 2 or pushing up the band 3 from below with the middle fingers of the left and right hands or the like until the band 3 makes a clicking sound. That is, the cross-sectional shape of the entire band 3 is made into a bow shape that bulges toward the inner surface side of the main body 2.

In the present embodiment, the band 3 can be easily stretched and held in the stretched state simply by opening the rolled body 2 in this way. As a result, the user can use the pen case 1 as a tray.

(Modification example)
The length of the winding direction X of the main body 2 may be shorter than that of the width direction Y. The length of the pen slot 23 may be an appropriate length from the pen tip to the pen tail side. As a method of binding the outer surface fabric 211 and the inner surface fabric 212 in order to form the accommodation spaces V1 and V2, in the embodiment, sewing with a thread is exemplified, but the outer surface fabric 211 and the inner surface fabric 212 are bonded together. It may be adhered with, and an appropriate means can be adopted. Natural materials such as cotton and linen, synthetic resins such as polyester, and leather are used for the fabrics of the holding portions such as the outer surface fabric 211, the inner surface fabric 212, and the pen slot 22 provided on the inner surface side of the main body 2. You may. As the dough, if the main body 2 can be curved or rolled, an appropriate one can be used. The shape of the main body 2 in the open state is exemplified by a rectangle in the embodiment, but may be an appropriate shape such as a circle or an ellipse.

As an example of a holding portion provided on the inner surface side of the main body 2 for holding an article, a pen slot 22 and an eraser holder 24 are exemplified in the embodiment. However, the holding portion may be a band made of rubber or the like in which both ends are connected to the main body 2 and a pen such as a mechanical pencil, a ballpoint pen, a pencil or a fountain pen, or a brush or a ruler is sandwiched between the holding portion. Further, the holding portion may be a pocket for accommodating a sticky note, a ruler, a recording medium, or the like, and may take various forms.

In the embodiment, the core material 25 is provided only at one end of the main body 2 in the winding direction X, but may be provided at both ends of the main body 2 in the winding direction X. The core material 25 is preferably arranged so as to extend in the width direction Y across both sides of the belt 3 in the width direction Y (the direction orthogonal to the extending direction of the belt 3).

The band 3 does not have to be housed in the main body 2, and may be provided on the inner surface or the outer surface of the main body 2. In this case, the band 3 may be housed in a fabric sewn to the main body 2 or may be attached to the main body 2 by adhesion or the like. As the mounting position of the band 3, in the embodiment, a position that does not overlap with the holding portion such as the pen slot 22 and the eraser holder 24 and the core material 25 with respect to the main body 2 in the open state is illustrated, and as an example thereof, the main body 2 The central part in the width direction Y of is shown. However, the mounting position of the band 3 may be a position that overlaps with the holding portion or the core material 25, and may be an appropriate position. A plurality of bands 3 may be attached to the main body 2. The band 3 may have a triangular shape (dogleg shape) in which the central portion is bent in a cross-sectional view in a stretched state, and may have a shape that bulges out of the plane.

FIG. 6 is a plan view showing the pen case 1A in the open state.
In the pen case 1A, the band 31A is housed in the end of the main body 2A on one side (upper side in the middle of FIG. 6) of the width direction Y, and the band 32A is housed in the end of the other side (lower side in the middle of FIG. 6). The band 31A overlaps the pen slot 22A and the pocket 24A in plan view. The band 32A overlaps the flap 3A and the pocket 24A in plan view. The pen slot 22A is longer than the embodiment and can hold from the pen tip to the pen body. The flap 3A is also longer than the embodiment, and if the pen has a normal length, it can be covered from the pen bottom to the body. The pocket 24A has a length extending over the width direction Y of the main body 2A, and can accommodate a sticky note, a ruler, a recording medium, or the like.

FIG. 7 is a perspective view showing the pen case 1B.
In the embodiment, an example is shown in which the main body 2 is autonomously wound by the bands 3, 31A and 32A. The fact that the main body 2 is wound means that the main body 2 is curved so that both ends in the winding direction X at least overlap. For embodiments, as in this example, band 3B may be used to bend the flap 7.

The pen case 1B includes a pouch 8 and a flap 7. The pouch 8 is longitudinal and narrows from the bottom to the top in a longitudinal lateral view. There is a fastener (not shown) on the top of the pouch 8. By opening and closing the fastener, a pen or the like can be accommodated inside the pouch 8. One end of the flap 7 is connected to the bottom of the pouch 8. The flap 7 will be located on one side surface 81 side of the pouch 8 when it is in the open state. The other side surface of the pouch 8 is referred to as a side surface 82.

The flap 7 includes a flap body 2B and a band 3B. The flap body 2B is opened and curved, and has a pocket 24B and a pen slot 22B on the inner surface side as a holding portion for articles. The flap body 2B is rectangular in the open state. In the flap main body 2B, flaps 24B are provided on both ends in the width direction Y orthogonal to the bending direction X, and a plurality of pen slots 22B are provided in the center of the width direction Y. The pen slot 22B has a ring shape and holds the body of the pen through which it is passed.

The band 3B is provided in the central portion of the flap main body 2B in the width direction Y along the bending direction X. In the stretched state, the band 3B has a cross-sectional shape that bulges toward the inner surface side (upper side in FIG. 7) of the flap main body 2B, and maintains this state. As a result, the band 3B holds the flap body 2B in the open state in the stretched state.

8 (A) to 8 (C) are schematic views showing how the flap main body 2B is closed.
When closing the flap body 2B in the open state, the user holds the end on the side away from the pouch 8, and as shown in FIG. 8A, the end of the band 3B makes a clicking sound. Press until you do. The band 3B transitions from the stretched state to the curved state, and a force trying to curl acts on the band 3B.

As shown in FIGS. 8B and 8C, only the force received by the user by guiding the end of the flap body 2B to the top of the pouch 8 and then releasing the hand from the flap body 2B, or from the band 3B. The flap body 2B is brought into a curved state covering from one side surface 81 of the pouch 8 to the other side surface 82, in other words, a state of covering the upper part of the pouch 8. Since the flap body 2B is held in this curved state by the band 3B, the pen case 1B can be carried in this state.

On the contrary, when the flap main body 2B is changed from the closed state to the open state, the flap main body 2B is held by the end portion and the flap main body 2B is turned over and opened. Then, the band 3B is stretched by pushing the band 3B from below with a finger or the like. In this way, the flap body 2B is held in an open state by the band 3B.

Here, as a mechanism for closing the flap 7, it is conceivable to provide a male hook of a button hook on the flap 7 side and join the male hook to the female hook provided on the side surface 82 side of the pouch 8. In such a configuration, when the flap 7 is closed, it is necessary to adjust the position of the flap 8 by moving it up and down left and right in order to join the hook. Further, in such a configuration, the hook must be removed when opening the flap 7, which requires a large force especially for women and children.

On the other hand, in this modification, the flap 7 can be closed by simply pressing the band 8 lightly, so that the flap 7 can be easily closed. Further, a large force is not required when opening the flap 7, and the flap 7 can be easily opened. Further, in this modification, it is possible to achieve both the readability of the pen by the flap 7 and the capacity of the pen and small items by the pouch 8.

In order to assist the holding of the flap 7 in the closed state, a binding tool such as a hook-and-loop fastener may be provided on the flap main body 2B and the side surface 82.

FIG. 9 is a schematic view showing a vertical pen case 1C.
In this modification, the pouch 8C has a cylindrical shape and is used vertically. The pouch 8C is provided with a fastener (not shown) that can be opened and closed vertically. The flap 7C includes a flap body 2C and a band 3C. The flap body 2C is rectangular in the open state, and one end thereof is connected to the side surface 83 of the pouch 8C so that the flap body 2C can be opened and closed laterally in FIG. On the inner surface side of the flap body 2C, a pen slot (not shown) for holding the pen vertically is provided. A band 3C is provided in the central portion of the flap body 2C in the width direction Y.

In the closed state, the flap 7C is curved so as to wrap around the side surface 83 of the pouch 8C, and this state is held by the band 3C. In order to assist the holding of the flap 7C in the closed state, a binding tool such as a hook-and-loop fastener may be provided on the inner surface side of the flap main body 2C and the side surface 83 of the pouch 8C.

In the above two modifications, the length of the flaps 7B and 7C in the width direction Y is the length of the pouches 8 and 8C in the width direction Y, but the length of a part of the pouches 8 and 8C in the width direction Y. It may be only (for example, half).

The present invention can be implemented in embodiments without departing from its characteristics.
