Figures 1 and 2 are front and side views of a bag applicable to the present invention. A bag is a type of storage device for carrying. It can be used as a shoulder bag or a handbag, and has an appearance that imitates a person, a mascot, or an animal. If the specific structure is described, in this example, the bag has the appearance of a cat. In other words, the above-mentioned object is set to be a cat.

The bag comprises: a storage tool body 1, which has a storage space (storage portion) S (see FIG. 4) formed inside thereof as a space for storing small or large items, and one or more components, which are arranged on the outer surface side of the storage tool body 1 in a manner that makes the storage tool body 1 have an appearance that imitates the above-mentioned object, and a movable mechanism 2 (see FIG. 8), which makes the storage tool body 1 having an appearance that imitates the above-mentioned object as if alive so that at least a part of the components can move The components can be moved, and the electric actuator 3 (please refer to Figure 8), which is an electric motor or electric cylinder that drives the moving components through the movable mechanism 2, and the battery 4 (please refer to Figure 8), which is used to supply power to the electric actuator 3, and the output side connection wiring (connection wiring) 5 (please refer to Figure 8), which is used to electrically connect the electric actuator 3 and the battery 4, and the control unit 6 (please refer to Figure 8), which is composed of a microcomputer that controls the drive performed by the electric actuator 3.

The above-mentioned parts include: a pair of left and right ears 7, 7 of the cat, a pair of left and right eyeballs 8a, 8a, eyelids 8b, 8b respectively arranged according to the left and right eyeballs 8a, 8a, a nose 9, a mouth 11, and a tail 12. The cat's eyes 8 are composed of eyeballs 8a and eyelids 8b. The cat's face is composed of ears 7, 7, eyes 8, 8, nose 9, and mouth 11.

The moving parts are ears 7, eyeballs 8a, eyelids 8b, and tail 12, and the nose 9 and mouth 11, which are parts other than the moving parts, are stationary parts.

In order to make the cat as the object more similar, countless hairs not shown are provided on the object surface composed of the front, top and back of the outer surface of the container body 1, except for the eyes 8 and the nose 9. In addition, countless hairs not shown are also provided on the entire tail 12 to make the appearance of the container body 1 more similar to the cat as the above object.

Figures 3 (A) to (C) show different expressions of the cat as the subject. The eyeball 8a is moved up and down, left and right, and the eyelid 8b is used to change the degree of opening and closing of the eye 8 from 0% (closed state) to 100% (maximum open state), thereby changing the expression of the cat as the subject in various ways to express joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness. For example, the example shown in Figure 3 (A) shows the expression of the cat falling in love; the example shown in (B) shows the expression of the cat being in a good mood; and the example shown in (C) shows the expression of the cat being in a bad mood.

The tail 12 is moved by imitating the movement of the cat's tail. The left and right ears 7, 7 are moved by imitating the movement of the cat's ears.

Furthermore, the action components among the components can be appropriately defined according to the above objects, and their action contents can also be appropriately defined according to the above objects.

According to such a structure, the bag (storage device body 1) having an appearance imitating a cat as an object performs actions as if it were alive, such as closing the eyes 8, changing the line of sight of the eyes 8, swinging the tail 12, or moving the ears 7, and thus is highly entertaining.

Next, the structure of the storage container body is described in detail according to Figures 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6.

Figure 4 is a cross-sectional view of the main part of the storage tool body from above. Figure 5 is a front view of the main part after the cover is opened. The storage tool body 1 has: a storage bag 14, which is formed into a bag body (bag shape) with a bottom and a quadrangular column shape by a flexible and deformable cover sheet (covering body) 13 surrounding the storage space S and also covering the bottom thereof, and a cover cover 16, which is composed of the cover sheet 13 and covers the opening S1 above the storage bag 14 from above so as to be openable and closable.

The covering sheet 13 is a flexible sheet material 17, 17 formed of multiple sheets (two sheets in the example shown) of the same shape, which are overlapped in a manner that the periphery and the whole are aligned, and the periphery is fixed to each other by sewing, joining or connecting. Each sheet material 17 is made of genuine leather, synthetic leather, synthetic resin or cloth.

The storage bag 14 is formed by making the main sheet 13A, which is a covering sheet 13, open at the top in a U-shape when viewed from the side, and bending one end of the rear side of the U-shape relative to the other end of the front side to form a long shape. In this state, between the left and right edges of the front and rear opposite parts of the covering sheet 13, there are other covering sheets 13 different from the main sheet 13A, and a side sheet 13B is formed in a square shape when viewed from the side.

In this state, the front and rear edges and lower edges of the left and right side sheets 13B and 13B are fixed by sewing, joining, or connecting to the left and right U-shaped edges of the main sheet 13A to form a storage bag 14 and a covering cover 16. The main sheet 13A and the side sheet 13B are fixed by overlapping their edges with each other, and the overlapping part is inserted into the inside of the fixed sheet 18 which is formed into a U-shape with the left and right inner sides open and extending in the vertical direction when viewed from a top section, and fixed by sewing, joining, or joining. The fixed sheet 18 is made of the same material as the sheet material 17.

According to the above structure, the storage bag 14 is formed into a square shape with a bottom and an open top when viewed from a top cross section by the front and rear opposing parts of the main sheet 13A and the left and right side sheets 13B. The covering cover 16 is formed by a square portion extending and connected integrally from the rear edge of the storage bag 14.

The cover 16 can be freely folded into an L-shape when viewed from the side, and is used to open and close the opening S1 that opens toward the top of the storage bag 14.

The closed cover 16 covers the top of the storage bag 14, and the remaining part not located above the storage bag 14 overlaps the front side of the storage bag 14. The part of the cover 16 overlapping the storage bag 14 is detachably engaged with the front side of the storage bag 14 by the fixings 19a and 19b. The pair of fixings 19a and 19b are formed in the shape of circular plates, etc., and are respectively provided on the inner side of the side contacting the storage space S of the cover 16 and the front side of the storage bag 14, and are detachably adsorbed and fixed to each other by magnets.

On the other hand, the fixings 19a and 19b are separated from each other by resisting the magnetic force, and the fixing of the covering cover 16 is released. By bending the covering cover 16 backward and retreating from the opening portion S1 when viewed from above, the opening portion S1 (the above-mentioned storage space S) becomes an open state with the upper side open.

The tail 12 is movably provided on one of the left and right sides of the storage bag 14 of the storage container body 1 thus constructed. In addition, on the outer surface side of the portion of the closed cover 16 located on the front side of the storage bag 14, components 7, 8a, 8b, 9, 11 constituting the cat face of the object are provided.

Furthermore, on the inner side of the covering cover 16, an opening 20 for taking in and out is formed in the space between the plurality of thin sheets 17, 17 constituting the covering cover 16. The opening 20 is opened and closed by a zipper 21.

In addition, a locking ring 22 composed of a triangular ring is installed on each upper edge of the storage bag 14 so that it can rotate freely left and right. A rotating hook 24 is installed on each end of the shoulder strap 23 formed in a belt shape and hung on the shoulder so that it can rotate freely through a metal part 25 formed in an elliptical ring shape. The shoulder strap 23 is installed on the storage tool body 1 by making the rotating hooks 24 on both sides engage and disengage with the corresponding locking rings 22 on the left and right, so that the bag has the function of a shoulder bag.

On the other hand, the upper surface of the cover 16 in the closed state is provided with a handle 26 formed by an inverted U shape when viewed from the front. The bag also functions as a handbag by virtue of the handle 26.

Figure 6 (A) and (B) are top cross-sectional views and front views of the main parts of the positioning pocket. As shown in Figures 4 and 6, two pockets 27 and 28 with upper openings are provided in the above-mentioned storage space S. One pocket 27 is a storage pocket for small items, etc., and the other pocket 28 is a positioning pocket provided near the tail 12 side of the storage bag 14.

The two pockets 27 and 28 are formed by bending a thin sheet 17 or sewing a plurality of thin sheets 17 together, and are formed into a U-shape when viewed from above.

The storage pocket 27 is arranged in the middle of the storage space S, far away from the tail 12, and arranged on the rear side. In other words, the storage pocket 27 is arranged in the inner wall surface of the storage bag 14 (the inner wall surface constituting the storage space S) far away from the tail 12.

The storage pocket 27 is formed into a U-shape with its rear side open when viewed from above. One end of the U-shape is inserted into the interior of the fixing sheet 19 together with the covering sheet 13 and fixed by sewing, joining, or connecting. The other end is bent toward the inner side of the storage pocket 27 and fixed to the inner wall surface of the rear side of the storage bag 14 by sewing, joining, or connecting.

The positioning pocket 28 is arranged in the middle of the storage space S near the tail 12. In other words, the positioning pocket 28 is arranged on the inner wall surface of the storage bag 14 (the inner wall surface constituting the storage space S) closest to the tail 12.

The positioning pocket 28 is formed by one or more thin sheets 17. Specifically, the positioning pocket 28 is formed into a channel shape extending in the vertical direction by bending one thin sheet 17 or sewing, joining, or connecting a plurality of thin sheets 17. A pair of edge portions extending in the vertical direction in the positioning pocket 28 in such a shape are respectively located in front and rear of the inner wall surface of the tail 12 side in the storage bag 14, and are respectively inserted into the interior of the fixing sheet 18 together with the covering sheet 13 and fixed by sewing, joining, or connecting. Between the channel-shaped positioning pocket 28 and the inner wall surface of the storage bag 14, a space surrounded on all sides and open on the top is formed. The open upper part of the space can be covered by an opening and closing cover 29 made of a thin sheet 17. The closed opening and closing cover 29 is fixed to the side of the positioning pocket 28 by the hook and loop fasteners 31a and 31b that can be easily attached and detached.

In the above-mentioned space formed by the positioning pocket 28, a unit box 32 containing the above-mentioned battery 4 is positioned and accommodated. The details of the unit box 32 will be described later.

Next, the structure of the control unit 6 is described in detail according to Figures 7 and 8.

FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view showing the structure of the wiring space, and FIG. 8 is a block diagram showing the structure of the control unit. The movable mechanism 2 is provided according to each of the movable parts 7, 8a, 8b, and 12 to realize the desired action. Each movable mechanism 2 is driven by an electric actuator 3. The electric actuator 3 is electrically connected to the output side of the control unit 6 through the output side connection wiring 5, and can also be electrically connected to the battery 4.

In addition, the battery 4 may be a rechargeable secondary battery or a primary battery such as a dry cell, and the power from the battery 4 is also supplied to the control unit 6.

Furthermore, a speaker 33 is connected to the output side of the control unit 6 via the output side connection wiring 5. The speaker 33 is also supplied with power from the battery 4 via the output side connection wiring 5. The speaker 33 outputs the cat's meowing, angry meowing, begging, etc.

On the other hand, an input sensor 36 is connected to the input side of the control unit 6 via an input side connection wiring (connection wiring) 34. The input sensor 36 is used as an input means to detect predetermined inputs from the owner side, such as stroking a predetermined part of the cat as the above-mentioned object, or calling with voice. For example, if the input is an image, the camera becomes the input sensor 36; if the input is voice, the microphone becomes the input sensor 36; if the input is stroking a predetermined part, the touch sensor provided at the part becomes the input sensor 36. In addition, the input side connection wiring 34 is also supplied with power from the battery 4.

Furthermore, on the input side of the control unit 6, a movable state detection sensor 37 is connected via the input side connection wiring 34. The movable state detection sensor 37 is used as a movable state detection means to detect the movable state of the movable mechanism 2 by detecting a switch, a potentiometer, or an encoder. By using the detection result of the movable state detection sensor 37, the control unit 6 can recognize the movement position of the eyeball 8a and the eyelid 8b, the posture of the ear 7, or the posture or shape of the tail 12. Furthermore, if a stepping motor is used as the electric actuator 3, the control unit 6 can recognize the movable state of the components 7, 8a, 8b, and 12 by its own movement. In this case, the movable state detection sensor 37 can be omitted.

Furthermore, in the control unit 6, a wireless communication interface 39 can be connected to the control unit 6 via the communication side connection wiring 38. Through the wireless communication interface 39, the bags imitating the appearance of the cat as the above-mentioned object can communicate with each other wirelessly. Through the wireless communication, when the bags are close to each other, by moving at least a part of the action parts 7, 8a, 8b, 12 of at least one bag, or outputting a predetermined sound from the speaker 33, the bag can act like a simulated cat as if it will react.

By configuring the control unit 6 in this way, the bag imitating the cat as the object can move more vividly in response to the owner's voice or movement, and can also increase the owner's attachment to the bag.

The output side connection wiring 5, the input side connection wiring 34, and the communication side connection wiring 38 will damage the appearance when exposed to the outside of the bag. On the other hand, if exposed to the side of the space S, it will become an obstacle when taking things in and out of the storage space S when the bag is used. In order to prevent this, the output side connection wiring 5, the input side connection wiring 34, and the communication side connection wiring 38 are arranged between the multiple thin sheets 17, 17 overlapped by the covering sheet 13 that constitutes the storage device body 1. That is, the space R between the thin sheets 17, 17 becomes a wiring space for the output side connection wiring 5 and the input side connection wiring 34 to be arranged in part or in whole.

For example, the unit box 32 is formed into a rectangular parallelepiped, and the battery 4, the control unit 6, the speaker 33 and the output side connection wiring 5 for the speaker 33, the input sensor 36 of a microphone and the input side connection wiring 34, the communication side connection wiring 38 and the wireless communication interface 39, and at least a part of the movable mechanism 2 for the tail 12, and the electric actuator 3 for the tail 12 are housed in a unitized state.

On the other hand, on the side of the cover 16, there are arranged: a movable mechanism 2, an electric actuator 3, and a movable state detection sensor 37 for the eyeball 8a and the eyelid 8b respectively. In addition, depending on the situation, the input sensor 36 will also be arranged in the above-mentioned wiring space R on the side of the cover 16.

Part or all of the connection wiring 5, 34 electrically connecting these electric actuators 3 and the input sensor 36, and the control unit 6 of the unit box 32 are arranged between the thin sheets 17, 17 of the covering sheet 13 used to form the covering cover 16. In addition, these connection wirings 5, 34 can also be arranged between the thin sheets 17, 17 contained in the covering sheet 13 used to form the back side of the storage bag 14.

In other words, the wiring space R formed in the covering cover 16 can be operated from the above-mentioned opening and closing port 20.

According to the bag constructed as described above, the electric actuator 3, the input sensor 36, and the movable state detection sensor 37 can be arranged at a desired location in the bag with high degree of freedom while preventing the connection wiring 5, 34 from being exposed to the side of the storage space S or the outside of the storage device body 1. As a result, since the degree of freedom of component arrangement becomes high, various objects such as people, animals, or mascots can be selected as the object.

Furthermore, since the connection wiring 5, 34 is hidden in the wiring space R of the thin sheets 17, 17, disconnection can be effectively prevented.

Furthermore, although the shoulder bag or handbag is used as an example of a carrying storage device, the present invention is not limited thereto and can also be applied to various types of devices such as backpacks, tote bags, briefcases, and handbags.

Furthermore, the unit may be made into a part of the components contained in the unit box 32 and arranged outside the unit box. For example, the speaker 33 may be arranged outside the unit box 32 where it is easy to hear, or the microphone 36 may be arranged outside the unit box 32 where it is easy to receive sound, or the wireless communication interface 39 may be arranged outside the unit box 32 where it is not easy to be disturbed by radio waves. In this case, the connection wiring 5, 34, 38 used to connect these to the control unit 6 may be arranged between the thin sheets 17, 17 constituting the covering sheet 13.

Next, according to Figure 9, other embodiments of the present invention are described that differ from the above embodiments.

FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view showing the configuration of the wiring space of another embodiment of the present invention. In the above embodiment, the covering sheet 13 of the covering cover 16 is formed by two thin sheets 17, 17, but in this embodiment, three thin sheets 17, 17, 17 are stacked to form the covering sheet 13.

In this case, the space formed between the outer thin sheet 17 and the middle thin sheet 17 in the inner part of the wrapping sheet 13 becomes the wiring space R1, and the space formed between the inner thin sheet 17 and the middle thin sheet 17 is a space that can be operated from the opening and closing port 20 and becomes a space R2 for placing small items. In this way, in a wrapping sheet 13, increasing the number of overlapping thin sheets 17 can also increase the amount of space after partitioning.

Next, according to Figures 10 to 12, other embodiments of the present invention are described, and the parts that are different from the above embodiments are described.

FIG. 10 is a front view of the main parts of another embodiment of the present invention after the cover is opened.

Specifically, the movable mechanism 2, the electric actuator 3, and the output-side connection wiring 5 electrically connected to the battery 4 are unitized by being housed in the unit box 32.

In the covering cover 16, when the opening S1 is covered, the thin sheet 17 on the inner side that is close to or in contact with the front of the storage bag 14 is opened to form an exposure hole 16a that allows a portion of the unit box 32 stored in the wiring space R to be exposed to the outside. The unit box 32 can be operated from the exposure hole 16a. In addition to turning the power on/off, the unillustrated opening and closing outer shell of the unit box 32 can be opened to exchange or repair the various components stored in the unit box 32.

In addition, in order to imitate the shape of a cat or the like, the entire outer surface of the side that does not contact the wiring space R in the thin sheet 17 on the inner side of the covering cover 16 is provided with countless hairs not shown in the figure, and the above-mentioned fixings 19b, 19b are provided at respective locations on the left and right near the front end portion of the outer surface of the thin sheet 17. Correspondingly, fixings 19a, 19a are also provided at the corresponding left and right positions on the front of the storage tool body 1.

In the covering cover 16, when the opening S1 is covered, the outer thin sheet 17, which is close to or not in contact with the front of the storage bag 14, is provided with countless hairs and eyes 8 as a kind of component, which are not shown in the figure.

To explain in more detail, countless hairs are provided on the entire portion other than the above-mentioned exposure hole 16a in the outer surface of the side that does not contact the wiring space R of the outer thin sheet 17. A pair of ears 7, 7, a pair of eyes 8, 8, a nose 9, and a mouth 11 are provided on the outer surface of the outer thin sheet 17 near the left and right sides to form the face of the cat. In contrast, a tail 12 is provided at the end of the other left and right sides of the outer surface.

The movable mechanism 2 for moving the ear 7, the movable mechanism 2 for moving the eyeball 8a, the movable mechanism 2 for moving the eyelid 8b, and the movable mechanism 2 for moving the tail 12 are all arranged in the wiring space R formed between the thin sheets 17, 17 constituting the covering sheet 13 of the covering cover 16. Some or all of these multiple movable mechanisms 2 are arranged on the side of the above-mentioned unit box 32. At least a part of the movable mechanism 2 arranged on the side of the unit box 32 is accommodated inside the unit box 32.
