Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a bag with a pull handle and a stopper / pull handle device suitably used for the bag.
[0002]
[Prior art]
For example, as shown in FIG. 9a, a travel bag or the like includes a wheel 101 at the lower end and a retractable puller 102 on the back surface. In such a bag with a handle (carry bag) 100, the puller 102 can be pulled out and the bag body 103 can be pulled lightly while being inclined. Further, the lower end of the wheel 101 is the same as or slightly above the bottom surface 104 of the bag body 103. Thereby, the bottom surface of the bag body 103 can be stably placed on the ground 105 or the floor surface.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In such a bag with a handle, when a force to the wheel side is applied as indicated by an arrow P, there is a risk of rotating around the wheel 101 and falling down. In particular, when trying to apply to a tall and unstable golf bag (caddy bag) 106 as shown in FIG. 9b, the golf club may be heavy, so that the golf club will fall once in the direction of arrow P, and the bottom surface will be off the ground. If you leave, it is difficult to stop with your hands, which is rather dangerous. In order to reduce such a risk, it is conceivable to provide a brake on the wheel 101 or an extendable leg on the bag body 103, but the operation is troublesome.
[0004]
The present invention solves such a problem, and an object of the present invention is to provide a bag with a pull handle that can prevent the bags having the wheels and the pull handle from falling over and that is easy to operate. Furthermore, a second object of the present invention is to provide a stopper and puller device that is simple in structure and easy to operate for the bag with puller.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
A bag with a pull handle according to the present invention (Claim 1) has a bag main body, a wheel rotatably provided at a lower end of the bag main body, and a telescopic pull device attached to the bag main body. The device has a support portion fixed to the bag body, a pull rod supported by the support portion so as to be slidable up and down, and the pull rod having a lower end of the same height as the lower end of the wheel. It is characterized by comprising a lock means for locking so as not to move up and down and a lock release means for releasing the lock in a state of being pushed down so as to protrude.
[0006]
In such a bag with a pulling handle, it is preferable that the unlocking means has an operating portion at the upper end of the pulling handle (claim 2).
[0007]
A pulling and pulling device according to the present invention (Claim 3) includes a guide pipe that opens up and down, a pipe-shaped pulling handle that is slidably accommodated in the guide pipe, and an inside of the pulling handle. An operating rod provided so as to be movable up and down within a predetermined range, and an engaging projection protruding from a side surface of the pulling rod when the operating rod is operated in the axial direction, An urging means for urging the engaging protrusion in a protruding direction is provided, and the guide pipe is engaged with the engaging protrusion in a state where a lower end of the pulling rod protrudes from a lower end of the guide pipe. An engaging portion is provided.
[0008]
In such a pulling and pulling device serving as a stopper, it is preferable that the upper end of the operating rod is configured to be operated at the position of the grip portion at the upper end of the pulling rod (claim 4).
[0009]
[Operation and effect of the invention]
The bag with a pull handle according to the present invention (Claim 1) can pull the bag in a state where the pull handle is moved upward, and the wheel supports the weight of the bag main body in this state. Thereby, conveyance of a bag is easy. When the bag is placed on the ground or floor, the bag bottom is brought into contact with the ground or the like when the bag is straightened. In some cases, the wheel may leave the ground. In this state, the pull handle is pushed down and the locked state is maintained by the locking means. As a result, the bag is supported by the bottom surface of the bag and the lower end of the pull handle, and does not fall over even if a force is applied to tilt the wheel to the side.
[0010]
When the bag is pulled from this state, the lock is released by the lock release means, and the upper end of the pull handle is grasped and pulled up. In this state, the lower end of the pull handle does not support the weight of the bag, but since the user holds the pull handle, there is no risk of falling. In this state, the bag is tilted, and the wheel is brought into sufficient contact with the ground to leave the bottom of the bag away from the ground. As a result, the bag can be easily transported by pulling the pull handle as described above.
[0011]
When the unlocking means is provided with an operation portion at the upper end of the pull handle (claim 2), the lock release means can be easily operated by the operation portion when the upper end of the pull handle is gripped. Therefore, it is possible to easily release the lock and pull the bag without bending.
[0012]
Since the pull handle device is accommodated in the guide pipe, the handle device according to the present invention (claim 3) is easy to handle even before being attached to the bag. When the operating rod is operated against the urging force of the urging means and the engaging projection is retracted, the lock is released and the pulling rod can be pulled out of the guide pipe. When pushing down the pull handle, when the engaging projection comes to the engaging portion, it protrudes by the urging means and engages with the engaging portion. Therefore, it is automatically locked. As described above, the puller device also serving as a stopper can be easily handled because it can be easily operated in the up-and-down direction and the unlocking operation of the pull handle and can be easily locked.
[0013]
In such a puller device serving as a stopper, when the upper end of the operating rod is configured to be operated at the position of the grip portion at the upper end of the pulling rod (Claim 4), the upper end of the pulling rod is gripped. It is possible to easily perform the unlocking operation in the state where it is in contact.
[0014]

[0015]
A golf bag 10 with a handle shown in FIG. 1 includes a bag main body 11, a pair of left and right wheels 12 attached to the lower surface on the back side, and a pulling device 13 serving as a stopper attached to the back side of the bag main body. It has. The bag body 11 is the same as a conventionally known bag, and includes a cylindrical club storage unit (Belleholen) 15 for storing a golf club, storage bags 16 and 17 provided at the front and back thereof, and a handle provided at the upper front portion. 18 and a shoulder belt 19 provided on the back surface.
[0016]
At the lower end on the back side of the bag body 11, the shaft of the wheel 12 is passed and supported rotatably. Such a wheel 12 can use the same thing as a conventionally well-known bag with a carry. In addition, the position of the wheel 12 is preferably such that the bottom surface 20 of the bag body 11 and the lower surface of the wheel 12 are substantially the same or somewhat higher than the bottom when the golf bag 10 is erected.
[0017]
As shown in FIG. 3 a, the pulling device 13 also serving as a stopper moves up and down with the guide pipe 21, the pulling rod 22 slidably received therein, and the pulling rod 22 being pushed down. And a lock mechanism 23 for restraining the movement. For example, a metal square pipe is used as the guide pipe 21, and synthetic resin terminal members 24 are attached to the upper and lower ends of the guide pipe 21. The inner surfaces of these terminal members 24 also serve as a guide for the pull handle 22. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, an attachment member 25 for attaching the guide pipe 21 to the bag body 11 is fitted and fixed to the outer surfaces of the upper and lower ends of the guide pipe 21.
[0018]
The pull handle 22 is made of, for example, a metal square pipe, a grip 27 is fixed to the upper end, and a rubber non-slip 28 is fixed to the lower end. In FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the pull handle 22 has a double telescopic structure, but in FIG. 3, it is single for simplicity. Note that a triple or more telescopic structure may be used. A stopper piece 30 that contacts the terminal member 24 of the guide pipe 21 is fitted to the upper and lower outer peripheries of the pull handle 22. The stopper pieces 30 may have a guide action that makes sliding contact with the inner surface of the guide pipe 21. As shown in FIG. 3, the length of the pull handle bar 22 is such that, when pushed down, the lower part 22 a of the pull bar bar protrudes considerably from the lower end of the guide pipe 21, and the lower end is the same as the bottom surface 20 of the bag body 11. The length extends to the extent. Accordingly, the pull handle 22 can function as a stopper that supports the golf bag so as not to fall down.
[0019]
As shown in detail in FIG. 3b, the lock mechanism 23 includes a lever 33 that is rotatably provided on the pull handle 22 by a shaft 32, and an operation rod 34 that operates the lever. The lever 33 includes a base portion 33a extending in the vertical direction, an engagement protrusion 33b protruding outward from the upper end, and an operation piece 33c extending from the lower end of the base portion in the opposite direction to the engagement protrusion. The shaft 32 rotatably supports the vicinity of the center of the base portion 33a. The engaging protrusion 33b penetrates the through hole 22b formed in the pull handle 22 and its tip protrudes.
[0020]
The lower end of the operation rod 34 is connected to the operation piece 33c of the lever 33, and the upper end is connected to a push button 35 provided at the upper end of the grip 27 so as to be retractable as shown in FIG. Further, the push button 35 is urged upward by a spring 36 accommodated in the pull handle 22, and the lower end of the spring 36 is engaged with a protrusion provided on the inner surface of the pull handle 22. The spring may be interposed between the lever 33 and the inner surface of the pull handle 22. On the other hand, a through hole 37 that engages with the engagement protrusion 33b is formed at a predetermined height of the guide pipe 21. Instead of the through hole, an engagement step portion or the like may be used.
[0021]
In the lock mechanism 23 configured as described above, the operating rod 34 is urged upward by the urging force of the spring 36, and thereby the lever 33 is urged to rotate counterclockwise in FIG. 3b. Therefore, the engagement protrusion 33b is always urged outward. Then, while the pull handle 22 moves up and down, the tip of the engaging projection 33 b comes into sliding contact with the inner surface of the guide pipe 21 and engages with the through hole 37 when it reaches the through hole 37 of the guide pipe 21. As a result, the pull handle 22 is locked in that position.
[0022]
Next, when the push button 35 of the grip 27 is pushed in, the operation rod 34 is pushed down, and the lever 33 rotates clockwise. As a result, the engagement protrusion 33b is retracted, the engagement with the through hole 37 is released, and the pull handle 22 is movable up and down.
[0023]
Next, the action of the pull handle 22 as a stopper will be described with reference to FIGS. When the golf bag 10 is placed on the ground 40, the pull handle 22 is pushed down as shown by the solid line in FIG. At that time, the lock mechanism is operated as described above, and the handle bar 22 is restrained in the depressed state. Therefore, the golf bag 10 is placed on the ground surface 40 at the bottom surface 20, or supported by the bottom surface 20 and the lower end of the pull handle 22. In this state, even if an external force in the direction of the arrow P is applied to the golf bag 10, the lower end of the pull handle 22 is supported, so that it does not fall down. Thereby, the function of the stopper is exhibited. Even if the bottom surface 20 of the bag is separated from the ground 40, it is supported by the three wheels and the lower end of the pull handle 22 so that it does not fall down. When the external force is lost, the bottom surface 20 or the bottom surface and the lower end of the pull handle 22 support the golf bag 10 again.
[0024]
Next, when carrying the golf bag 10, the user first holds the grip 27 at the upper end of the pull handle 22. Next, the push button 35 is pressed to release the lock, and the pull handle 22 is pulled up as shown by the imaginary line in FIG. In this state, the pull handle 22 does not act as a stopper, but the user holds the pull handle 22 so that it does not fall down. In this state, as shown in FIG. 2, when the golf bag 10 is tilted to the back side (wheel side), the wheel 12 contacts the ground 40. Therefore, the user can run the golf bag 10 by pulling the pull handle 22 toward the front side or pushing it forward.
[0025]
As described above, the pulling rod 22 projecting downward from the guide pipe 21 acts as a stopper when pushed in, and acts as a puller when pulled up. Therefore, the golf bag 10 can be prevented from falling as a stopper when it is placed on the ground 40 or the like without disturbing the running.
[0026]
In the above embodiment, the pull bar 22 is integrally formed by a square pipe, but as shown in FIG. 5a, the leg member 41 is fixed to the lower end of the pull bar 22 having the same length as the conventional with a rivet 42 or the like. Thus, the pull handle 22 may be extended. Further, as shown in FIG. 5b, the entire pull handle 22 may be replaced with a long one. In the case of a pulling device that originally has a mechanism that locks the pulling rod 22 in the pushed-in state, it can be easily modified to the pulling device of the present invention. Moreover, the golf bag provided with the conventional pull handle can be easily modified to the pull bag with the present invention.
[0027]
In the above embodiment, there is one guide pipe and one pull rod, but as shown in FIG. 6, a pair of left and right guide pipes 21 and a pair of pull rods 22 slidably accommodated in them respectively. May be combined. In this pulling device 43 also serving as a stopper, the upper ends of the pair of pulling rods 22 are connected by a grip 27. Therefore, the two pull handle 22 can be operated up and down together. Further, the lower ends of the pull handle 22 are connected by a connecting piece 44. As a result, the golf bag 10 can be reliably supported, and the fall-preventing action is further ensured. Furthermore, the upper ends and the lower ends of the two guide pipes 21 are connected by a mounting member 45 to the bag body. Therefore, the attachment of the two guide pipes 21 to the bag body is further ensured. Moreover, since the parallelism of the guide pipe 22 is maintained, the sliding of the pull handle 22 is smooth.
[0028]
In the embodiment of FIG. 6, each pull rod 22 is telescopically configured with two square pipes, an outer pipe 46 and an inner pipe 47 slidably accommodated therein. Thereby, two-stage expansion and contraction is possible. In such a two-stage telescopic structure, either the lower part of the outer pipe 46 or the lower part of the inner pipe 47 of the pull handle 22 may be protruded from the lower end of the guide pipe 21. In that case, the pipe on the projecting side is made longer than the guide pipe 21 by the projecting length. The connecting piece 44 described above connects the lower ends thereof. The grip 27 connects the upper ends of the inner pipes 47 with each other. For this reason, when a mechanism for releasing the lock with the grip 27 is employed, the structure is simplified by incorporating the lock mechanism into the inner pipe 47. In this case, the same locking mechanism as that shown in FIG. In this case, the outer pipe 46 is also provided with a through hole that allows the engagement protrusion 33b to pass therethrough. Other configurations and operational effects are substantially the same as in FIG.
[0029]
A pulling and tacking device 50 also serving as a stopper shown in FIG. 7 includes a frame body 52 that supports a bag 51 at the lower end of a guide member 21, and a set of four wheels 12 that are rotatably attached to the front, rear, left and right of the frame body. Are integrated as one unit. There may be two wheels 12. This is convenient for carrying relatively large bags because the frame 52 for supporting the bags is solid. The effects of the guide pipe 21 and the pull handle 22 are substantially the same as those described above. Thus, the bag with a puller and the puller device of the present invention can be applied to various bags such as a travel bag and a suitcase in addition to a golf bag.
[0030]
In the lock mechanism 54 shown in FIG. 8, an engagement member 55 is provided inside the pull handle 22 so as to be movable in a direction perpendicular to the central axis of the pull handle. On the inner surface side of the engaging member 55, a spring 56 that constantly biases the engaging member outward is provided. Further, a tapered surface 57 is provided on the upper surface of the engaging member 55 so as to decrease toward the tip. In addition, a cam member 58 that is in sliding contact with the tapered surface 57 of the engagement member 55 is provided at the lower end of the operation rod 34. On the outward side surface of the engagement protrusion 55, an engagement protrusion 55a that penetrates the through hole 22b of the pull handle 22 and engages with the engagement portion of the guide pipe is provided.
[0031]
In this case, when the operation rod 34 is pushed down, the cam member 58 slides on the taper surface 57 of the engagement member 55 to retract the engagement member 55, and the lock can be released. As described above, any type of mechanism can be adopted as the locking mechanism used in the present invention as long as it has a locking action and an unlocking action that restrict the position of the pull handle by an external operation.
[0032]
In any of the above embodiments, the locking mechanism is configured to lock when the pull handle is pushed down to the lower end. However, when the pulling lever is further pulled up to the upper end or locked at the intermediate position, You may increase the number of engaging parts, such as a through-hole (refer the code | symbol 37 of FIG. 3b). If it can be locked when extended, it can be prevented that the pull handle is accidentally pushed in when the hand is released from the grip of the pull handle. In addition, when the lock can be made at the intermediate position, the lower end of the pull handle is retracted when the bag is held by hand. In the case of the two-stage telescopic pull rod 22 shown in FIG. A mechanism may be provided.
[0033]
In the above-described embodiment, the guide pipe is provided on the back side of the bag body, but may be provided inside the bag. In that case, a through hole through which the upper part of the pull handle is passed is provided at the upper end of the bag, and a through hole through which the lower part or leg of the pull handle is passed is provided at the bottom. Further, the pulling device can be detachable from the bag body.
