BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
(a) Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a special-purpose bag, particularly a bag that can be quickly converted into a bulletproof, stab-proof, and cut-proof vest by the user in emergency situations. The special-purpose bag can be a handbag, a shoulder bag, a side bag, a diagonal bag, or any inconspicuous bag except for a backpack. The above conversion is intended to quickly achieve the bulletproof effect, the stab-proof effect, and the cut-proof effect so as to quickly provide protection against bullets, stabs, and cuts as well.
(b) Description of the Related Art
As society evolves and circumstances change, people are becoming increasingly aware of the importance of safety. However, common handbag, shoulder bag, side bags, or diagonal bag lacks the crucial features of being bulletproof, stab-proof, and cut-proof.
This leaves the users dangerously vulnerable in situations where they are not wearing a bulletproof, stab-proof, and cut-proof vest. In view of this, how to propose a special-purpose bag that is discreet and inconspicuous and solves the aforementioned problems, while allowing the users to swiftly and effectively ensure safety in hazardous conditions, when performing special duties, or when staying in dangerous areas, is still a problem to be solved.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention overcomes the aforementioned problems and is distinguished from the prior art by a bulletproof, stab-proof, and cut-proof bag. According to the present invention, a bulletproof, stab-proof, and cut-proof bag is disclosed and comprises two bulletproof, stab-proof, and cut-proof panels and a pair of connecting members. The two bulletproof, stab-proof, and cut-proof panels respectively have a handle that is located on the top edge or upper edge thereof. The two bulletproof, stab-proof, and cut-proof panels are connected to each other via a buckle strap set. The pair of connecting members is located at the edge of the two bulletproof, stab-proof, and cut-proof panels, allowing the two bulletproof, stab-proof, and cut-proof panels to switch between a closing state and an opening state. The pair of connecting members is configured to combine the two bulletproof, stab-proof, and cut-proof panels so as to form an accommodating space, creating a bag-shaped structure under the closing state. The two bulletproof, stab-proof, and cut-proof panels are configured to be separated from the bag-shaped structure by releasing the pair of connecting members and are used as a vest under the opening state.
In addition to functioning as a combined handbag, shoulder bag, side bag, or slanting bag under the closing state. The key feature of the present invention is that the two bulletproof, stab-proof, and cut-proof panels are capable of being separated from the bag-shape by releasing the pair of connecting members, and used as a bulletproof, stab-proof, and cut-proof vest under the opening state. This ensures the effectiveness of bulletproof, stab-proof, and cut-proof. Therefore, the present invention offers the advantage of being easy and quick to wear a bulletproof, stab-proof, and cut-proof vest. Moreover, the bulletproof, stab-proof, and cut-proof bag is designed to conceal its bulletproof, stab-proof, and cut-proof functions, making it inconspicuous and discreet. When the user needs to switch from the closing state to the opening state, the user simply needs to manipulate the pair of connecting members so as to separate the two bulletproof, stab-proof, and cut-proof panels. This allows the two bulletproof, stab-proof, and cut-proof panels to be used as a bulletproof, stab-proof, and cut-proof vest, fixed in front of the chest and behind the back of the user in the opening state.
In one embodiment, a connecting portion is positioned on one side of one of the two bulletproof, stab-proof, and cut-proof panels, and the connecting portion is connected to one end of the buckle strap set. The buckle strap set has an adjusting buckle configured to adjust the tightness of the strap. The other one of the two bulletproof, stab-proof, and cut-proof panels has an opening, allowing the strap of the buckle strap set to pass through it.
In one embodiment, a second connecting portion is positioned at the upper edge of one of the two bulletproof, stab-proof, and cut-proof panels. The second connecting portion is connected to both ends of the second buckle strap set (e.g., both ends of a shoulder strap set having a buckle) that is similar to the (first) buckle strap set mentioned above, and is capable of connecting the two bulletproof, stab-proof, and cut-proof panels as well). The second buckle strap set has a second adjusting buckle configured to adjust the tightness of the strap, allowing the strap of the second buckle strap set to pass through the second adjusting buckle.

Moreover, the two bulletproof, stab-proof, and cut-proof panels (11, 11′) can be made of bulletproof, stab-proof, and cut-proof materials including, but not limited to, Kevlar® (i.e., a synthetic fiber of high tensile strength, or DuPont™ Tensylon® (i.e., an ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene bulletproof material), or any combination thereof.
The two bulletproof, stab-proof, and cut-proof panels (11, 11′) respectively have a handle (13, 13′) that is located on the top edge or upper edge of the two bulletproof, stab-proof, and cut-proof panels respectively. The two bulletproof, stab-proof, and cut-proof panels (11, 11′) are connected to each other via a buckle strap set (15, 15′). The buckle strap set (15, 15′) has at least one adjusting buckle (14, 14′). The pair of connecting members 12 is located at the edge of the two bulletproof, stab-proof, and cut-proof panels (11, 11′), allowing the two bulletproof, stab-proof, and cut-proof panels (11, 11′) to switch between a closing state and an opening state.
As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, according to an embodiment of the invention, the pair of connecting members 12 is configured to combine the two bulletproof, stab-proof, and cut-proof panels (11, 11′) so as to form an accommodating space and create a bag-shaped structure under the closing state. Under the closing state, the two bulletproof, stab-proof, and cut-proof panels (11, 11′) combined with each other can be used as a handbag, a shoulder bag, a side bag, a slanting bag, or other bag except for the backpack.
As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, according to an embodiment of the invention, the two bulletproof, stab-proof, and cut-proof panels (11, 11′) can be separated from the bag-shaped structure by releasing the pair of connecting members 12 and are used as a bulletproof, stab-proof, and cut-proof vest under the opening state.
As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, according to an embodiment of the invention, a second buckle strap set (16, 16′) is connected and positioned between the two bulletproof, stab-proof, and cut-proof panels (11, 11′).
As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, according to an embodiment of the invention, both the buckle strap set (15, 15′) and the second buckle strap set (16, 16′) have an adjusting buckle (14, 14′) and a second adjusting buckle respectively, which are configured to adjust the tightness of the strap. In one specific example of FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, both the adjusting buckle and the second adjusting buckle can be slider buckles, steel plates, or ladder buckles but should not be limited thereto.
As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, according to an embodiment of the invention, a set of connecting portions (17, 17′) is located or positioned on one side of one of the two bulletproof, stab-proof, and cut-proof panels (11′) and is configured to be connected to one end of the buckle strap set (15, 15′). The other one of the two bulletproof, stab-proof, and cut-proof panels (11) has an opening relative to the other end of the buckle strap set (15, 15′), allowing the strap of the buckle strap set (15, 15′) to pass through the opening and thus the two bulletproof, stab-proof, and cut-proof panels (11, 11′) can fix together.
As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, according to an embodiment of the invention, a second set of connecting portions (18, 18′) is located at the upper or top edge of the two bulletproof, stab-proof, and cut-proof panels (11, 11′), which is connected to both ends of the second buckle strap set (16, 16′) such that the strap of the second buckle strap set (16, 16′) can pass through the second adjusting buckle and thus the two bulletproof, stab-proof, and cut-proof panels (11, 11′) can fix together.
As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, according to an embodiment of the invention, the outer surface of one of the bulletproof, stab-proof, and cut-proof panels 11 has a storage portion 19 located on the outer surface of one of the two bulletproof, stab-proof, and cut-proof panels (11) so as to store and hide the buckle strap set (15, 15′) and its adjusting buckle (14, 14′). The buckle strap set (15, 15′) and its adjusting buckle (14, 14′) is partially exposed out of the other one of the bulletproof, stab-proof, and cut-proof panels (11) under the closing state. By utilizing the storage portion 19, which allows for the adjusting buckle (14, 14′) and the majority of the buckle strap set (15, 15′) to be concealed, making the bulletproof, stab-proof, and cut-proof bag 10 less noticeable when the present invention is utilized as a handbag, a shoulder bag, a side bag, or a slanting bag under the closing state.
In one specific example of FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the pair of connecting members 12 can be implemented as a pair of zippers, a pair of hook and loop fasteners, a pair of magnetic buckles, a pair of snap buttons or snap fasteners, or a pair of magnetic snaps but should not be limited thereto. For example, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, a pair of zippers can be used as a pair of connecting members.
Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, when the bulletproof, stab-proof, and cut-proof bag 10 of the present invention is used as a handbag, shoulder bag, side bag, slanting bag, or other bags except for the backpack under the closing state, the pair of connecting members 12 are configured to combine the two bulletproof, stab-proof, and cut-proof panels (11, 11′) and to form a bag-shaped structure that is low-key and not noticeable given that the majority of the buckle strap set (15, 15′) have been stored and hidden in the storage portion 19. Further, in case of an emergency, the user can release the pair of connecting members 12 (for example, unzipping the pair of zippers around the edge of the two bulletproof, stab-proof, and cut-proof panels shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 3), allowing the two bulletproof, stab-proof, and cut-proof panels (11, 11′) to be separated from the bag-shaped structure under the opening state. After that, the users can quickly put on the bulletproof, stab-proof, and cut-proof panels (11, 11′) by passing their head through the space between the two bulletproof, stab-proof, and cut-proof panels (11, 11′). Then, the user can operate the adjusting buckle (14, 14′) to adjust the length and tightness of the buckle strap set (15, 15′) to fit their body. Once the adjusting buckle (14, 14′) has been adjusted to the desired length and tightness, it can be fastened to securely connect and fix the buckle strap set (15, 15′) to the abdomen of the user. In a better embodiment of the invention, the user can also adjust the tightness of the second buckle strap set (16, 16′) by operating the second adjusting buckle. This allows the two bulletproof, stab-proof, and cut-proof panels (11, 11′) to be securely positioned on the user's chest and back, effectively turning the bulletproof, stab-proof, and cut-proof bag 10 into a bulletproof, stab-proof, and cut-proof vest for protection against bullets, stabs, and cuts. This enables the user to ensure their safety quickly and efficiently in case of an emergency.
In a better embodiment of the invention shown in FIG. 4, in order to improve the efficiency of the user from switching the bulletproof, stab-proof, and cut-proof bag 10 from the closing state to the opening state. This can be achieved by using the pair of hook and loop fasteners as the connecting members 12, as shown in FIG. 4. Compared to the pair of zippers illustrated in FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, the use of hook and loop fasteners allows for quicker and more efficient opening and transforming of the two bulletproof, stab-proof, and cut-proof panels (11, 11′) to be used as a bulletproof, stab-proof, and cut-proof vest. Moreover, as mentioned above, the connecting members 12 of the bulletproof, stab-proof, and cut-proof bag 10 can also be a pair of snap buttons or snap fasteners. Compared to using the pair of hook and loop fasteners, the efficiency of opening and transforming the two bulletproof, stab-proof, and cut-proof panels (11, 11′) into a bulletproof, stab-proof, and cut-proof vest by using the pair of snap buttons or snap fasteners is optimal.
Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 4, the present invention includes a first accommodating space formed by the combination of two bulletproof, stab-proof, and cut-proof panels (11, 11′) under the closing state. Additionally, in an embodiment of the invention, the two panels themselves can further have another accommodating space, forming a second accommodating space S1 and a third accommodating space S2, which are different from the first accommodating space formed under the closing state. The second accommodating space S1 and the third accommodating space S2 are each composed of at least three surfaces of each bulletproof, stab-proof, and cut-proof panel (11 or 11′), which can be used by the user to store objects.
In an embodiment of the invention shown in FIG. 5, the difference between this embodiment shown in FIG. 5 and the previous embodiment shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 4 is that the two bulletproof, stab-proof, and cut-proof panels (11, 11′) of this embodiment do not have a second accommodating space S1 and a third accommodating space S2 consisting of at least three surfaces shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 4.
Instead, this embodiment shown in FIG. 5 provides additional accommodating space within the bulletproof, stab-proof, and cut-proof bag 10 by utilizing an accommodating portion 20 positioned on the inner surface(s) of at least one or both two bulletproof, stab-proof, and cut-proof panels (11, 11′). The accommodating portion 20 can be created by setting the zippers, hook and loop fasteners, buttons, or other means. This allows this embodiment to include a second accommodating space S1′ and a third accommodating space S2′ which are formed between the accommodating portion 20 and one (opposite) side of the two bulletproof, stab-proof, and cut-proof panels (11, 11′) and can be used to store objects. This design provides users with more options for storage and organization within the bulletproof, stab-proof, and cut-proof bag 10, while maintaining the protective properties of the bag.
More specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, the inner surfaces of the two bulletproof, stab-proof, and cut-proof panels (11, 11′) are equipped with the accommodating portions 20, and the two bulletproof, stab-proof, and cut-proof panels (11, 11′) have been combined with each other through the pair of connecting members to form the bag-shaped structure (so there is no pair of zippers shown in FIG. 5), but this is not the limit.
Referring to FIG. 6 to FIG. 8, the main difference between the embodiments shown in FIG. 6 to FIG. 8 and the embodiments shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 4 is that the two bulletproof, stab-proof, and cut-proof panels (11, 11′) do not have the second accommodating space S1 and the third accommodating space S2 composed of at least three surfaces. This means that the two bulletproof, stab-proof, and cut-proof panels (11, 11′) can jointly form an accommodating space under the closing state. FIG. 6 and FIG. 7 show the first and second variation examples, respectively, while FIG. 8 shows the third variation example. The shape of the two bulletproof, stab-proof, and cut-proof panels (11, 11′) is not limited to the examples shown in FIG. 6 to FIG. 8, and the configuration of the pair of connecting members 12 is not limited to the pair of zippers shown in FIG. 6 to FIG. 8.
