The present invention relates to a waist bag, and more particularly, the invention relates to a waist bag which could enable a user to move freely and could be engaged with other items.
As the change of lifestyle and the popularity of leisure activities, there is increased a need for receptacles to carry personal items. Because of the advantages of storing items and enabling the user to move freely, the waist bag becomes more and more popular.
Conventional waist bags are usually worn by users with waist belts to provide the users storage space in the bag bodies for carrying personal items. However, at present, the configuration of the waist bag simply provides the function of a waist bag, and does not include other practical benefits, whereby resulting in inconvenience and difficulty on its application.
When the user needs a larger space to store his luggage and also needs a bag to store some smaller personal items, such as coins and paper tissue, which enables him to take them out conveniently at anytime, the user usually has to carry a backpack and a waist bag at the same time. It is not ideal for modern people who emphasize the exterior figuration. Moreover, a larger backpack is prone to squeeze the waist bag which results in the inconvenience of taking the items out of the waist bag.
To solve the problem mentioned above, some manufacturers tried to increase the length of the waist bag to make an exterior surface underneath the belt loop of the waist bag being able to be mounted with a hook fastener, thereby enabling the waist bag to be engaged with the loop fastener on the backpack to retain the advantage of taking the items out of the waist bag conveniently. However, wearing a waist bag having an overlong length via a waist belt would influence the movement of the user and conflict with the motivation of facilitating the user's movement on using the waist bag. It is no doubt a design taking the branch for the root.
In view of this, the goal of the present invention is to provide a waist bag, which could enable a user to move freely, and could be engaged with other items.
To achieve the goal mentioned above, the present invention provides a waist bag, including a bag body, a flap and at least one belt loop. Wherein, the bag body includes an exterior surface and a hook fastener or a loop fastener which is mounted on the exterior surface. The flap includes a base part and a free part, wherein the base part is disposed on the exterior surface of the bag body, and the free part could be lifted up corresponding to the bag body; the free part has a first surface and a second surface which are opposite to each other; the first surface is mounted with a loop fastener or a hook fastener to be engaged with the hook fastener or loop fastener of the bag body; each corresponding one of the hook fastener and the loop fastener of the free part and the bag body are engaged with each other when the free part is at a first position. The at least one belt loop includes a first fixed part and a second fixed part, wherein the first fixed part is fixed to the exterior surface of the bag body, and the second fixed part is fixed to the second surface of the flap. The belt loop connects to the bag body and the flap to constitute a pass-through space.
The advantage of the present invention is that by positioning a loop fastener or a hook fastener on a free part which could be lifted up corresponding to the bag body, the waist bag could be engaged with a hook fastener or a loop fastener disposed on other items, such as a backpack, without increasing the length of the waist bag and still could have a compact size. Consequently, the user could still move freely after wearing the waist bag with the waist belt, and the waist bag could also be engaged with other items as well. Moreover, the hook fastener could be hidden when the free part is not lifted up, thereby preventing the hook fastener from sticking clothing and damaging the surface.
The present invention will be best understood by referring to the following detailed description of some illustrative embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:
The following illustrative embodiments and drawings are provided to illustrate the disclosure of the present invention, these and other advantages and effects can be clearly understood by persons skilled in the art after reading the disclosure of this specification. As shown in
The bag body 10 is adapted to carry items. The bag body 10 has an exterior surface 10a mounted with a loop fastener 11 thereon. The loop fastener 11 is located adjacent to a lower portion of the exterior surface 10a.
The flap 20 includes a base part 22 and a free part 24 which are connected with each other, wherein the base part 22 is disposed on the exterior surface 10a of the bag body 10, and the free part 24 is controllable to be opened corresponding to the bag body 10, and moved between a first position P1, as shown in
The free part 24 includes a first surface 24a and a second surface 24b which are opposite to each other, wherein the first surface 24a is mounted with a hook fastener 26 to be engaged with the loop fastener 11 of the bag body 10. As shown in
In this embodiment, the waist bag 100 includes two belt loops 30. Each of the two belt loops 30 has a first fixed part 32 and a second fixed part 34 opposite to the first fixed part 32, wherein the first fixed part 32 is fixed to an upper portion of the exterior surface 10a of the bag body 10, and the second fixed part 34 is fixed to the second surface 24b of the free part 24.
When the free part 24 of the flap 20 is at the first position P1, one of the belt loops 30 and the bag body 10 form a first space S1, and the other of the belt loops 30 and the flap 20 form a second space S2. The first space 51 and the second space S2 constitute a pass-through space to enable a waist belt (not shown) to pass through, so that a user could carry the waist bag 100 conveniently by wearing the waist belt. In another example, when the user carries a backpack or a handbag, which is mounted with a loop fastener (not shown) to be engaged with the hook fastener 26 on the free part 24, the user could fix the waist bag 100 to the backpack or handbag by means of lifting up the free part 24 of the flap 20 to the second position P2 to enable the hook fastener 26 on the free part 24 to be engaged with the loop fastener on the backpack or handbag.
According to the design mentioned above, by positioning the second fixed part 34 of the belt loop 30 and the hook fastener 26 to be engaged with the loop fastener on the backpack or handbag on the two opposite surfaces of the free part 24 of the flap 20, it could provide practical benefits without increasing an exterior surface area 10a of the bag body 10, and still could have a compact size, whereby the user could still move freely after wearing the waist bag 100 with the waist belt, and the uncomfortableness or limitation caused by the conventional waist bag having an overlong length is avoided. Moreover, the hook fastener 26 could be hidden when the free part 24 is not lifted up, thereby preventing the hook fastener 26 from sticking clothing and damaging the surface.
The method for arranging the hook fastener and the loop fastener of the waist bag 100 and the backpack or handbag is not limited to the method illustrated in the above description. Alternatively, the hook fastener could be disposed on the bag body 10, while the loop fastener could be disposed on the flap 20 of the waist bag 100 to keep the free part 24 of the flap 20 at the first position P1 without influencing the function of wearing the waist bag 100 with the waist belt. Similarly, either a hook fastener or a loop fastener could be disposed on the backpack or handbag, and the waist bag 100 could still be engaged with the corresponding loop fastener or hook fastener.
Moreover, in this embodiment, the two belt loops 30 are constituted by a fixed strap 40, however, it is not limited thereto. The fixed strap 40 is a long strip, wherein each of two ends of the fixed strap 40 constitutes a belt loop 30 respectively, and a portion of the fixed strap 40 between the two belt loops 30 constitutes a handle 41, which is adapted to be held by the user. Hence, except the function of the waist bag 100 for being worn with the waist belt and being fixed to the backpack or handbag, the waist bag 100 still could be utilized as a hand carrier bag so as to provide a wider range of application.
It must be pointed out that the embodiments described above are only some embodiments of the present invention. All equivalent structures which employ the concepts disclosed in this specification and the appended claims should fall within the scope of the present invention.
