DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a bat case for storing and transporting baseball bats.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Up to now, bat cases have been used for storing and transporting bats in baseball games and practice.
Since the conventional bat case is intended to carry a few bats, which are relatively lightweight, the bat case is hung on one shoulder of the user by one belt. However, recently, the number of bats used has increased due to the fact that bats are prepared for each player and one player tends to use a plurality of bats. For this reason, 5 to 8 bats may be transported at a time, and in the conventional bat case, the transport is inconvenient.

[0003] A conventional bat case has been used as a substitute for a bat storage box at the ground after the bat has been transported, either lying on the ground or leaning against a net. However, when the bat is laid on the ground, it is inconvenient to take the bat in and out, and the bat case has a drawback of becoming dirty. On the other hand, in the form of leaning against the net, there is a drawback such as falling down when the bat is taken out.

Further, recently, two or more net belts are provided on the upper part of the bat case, and the net belt is hooked on a net around the ground, thereby fixing the bat case and thereby putting the bat in and out. In some cases, the bat case is used as a substitute for the bat storage box. However, in this bat case,
When the net belt is not used, for example, when the net belt is carried, the net belt has a drawback that it obstructs the appearance, the appearance is bad, and the number of steps for manufacturing the net belt increases.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, the present invention provides
It is an object of the present invention to provide a bat case that can easily carry eight bats or the like. It is another object of the present invention to provide a bat case in which a bat can be easily taken out and stored in the ground. Further, the above-mentioned drawbacks of the net belt are solved by using the net belt and the belt for hanging on the shoulder.

[0006]

According to the present invention, by arranging two belts, it is possible to carry a bat case with both shoulders as shown in FIG. 2 (A). It is intended to facilitate the transportation of about 5 to 8 bats which have been difficult to transport. In addition, by providing a bundle on the belt, it is possible to combine two belts into one, and as a result, it is easy to carry on one shoulder or hold it by hand. And the end of the lower side of the bat case of the belt is made detachable, a clip is provided on the end, and it is possible to hook the net, so that the bat case can be held obliquely, and as a result, The bat case can be replaced with a bat storage box by facilitating the insertion and removal of the bat. Further, the above-mentioned drawbacks of the net belt are eliminated by using the belt also as the net belt.

[0007]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The product of the present invention can be implemented in a form in which two belts are arranged in a bat case. The reason why the two belts are provided is to enable the user to carry the bat case on both shoulders as shown in FIG. Here, there is no particular limitation on the form of the main body, which is the main part of the bat case, and the embodiment can be implemented in a normal cylindrical form. The cross-sectional shape of the main body is not limited, and the main body can be formed in a circular, elliptical, square, pentagonal, or other polygonal shape. However, when carrying with both shoulders, a part of the main body is in contact with the back, so that the surface in contact with the back is desirably a flat surface, and a square cross section of the main body is suitable.
Also, in consideration of storing the bat, it is desirable to provide a lid on the upper or lower part of the main body. And
In consideration of the ease of taking out the bat, the form in which the lid is provided on the upper part of the main body is suitable. When a lid is provided, the cross-sectional shape of the lid is preferably the same as that of the main body, and it is desirable that the lid be made of the same material and the same color in terms of design. For the material of the main body and the lid, synthetic leather, PVC, chemical fiber, and the like used in a normal bat case can be used. In consideration of strength and weight reduction, a fabric made of polyamide resin fiber is suitable. . The length of the bat case is determined by the length of the bat to be stored, and must be at least longer than the bat. On the other hand, if it is too long, it is inconvenient to carry around. Therefore, the length of the bat used is usually from 50 cm to 11 including the bat for children.
The length of the bat case is 6
It is desirable to be within the range of 0 to 120 cm. Here, the length of the bat case is the sum of the lengths of the main body and the lid. Therefore, in the form without the lid, the length of the bat case is the same as the length of the main body, while in the form with the lid, the length of the bat case is the sum of the main body and the lid.

There is no particular limitation on the position where the belt is attached. However, the present invention is an invention in which a bat case is carried on both shoulders. Therefore, in consideration of the balance of the bat case, it is desirable that the belt be attached to the upper part and the lower part. Here, the upper part is from 0 to the lower end of the bat case.
It means within the range of 20 cm. In the embodiment in which the lid is provided on the upper end side of the bat case, the belt may be provided directly on the lid, or may be provided on the main body below the lid. In addition, the lower part is 0 to the lower end of the bat case from the upper end.
It means within the range of 20 cm. On the other hand, in a form in which the belt is not attached to the upper part and the lower part, when the length of the upper end part which is the upper end part and the lower end part which is the lower end part is the attachment length,
The mounting length must be at least 20 cm. This is because below this, there is a problem in passing the arm through. Next, the mounting position of the belt will be described. If the belt is arranged at a position that is too deviated on the lower end side with respect to the length of the bat case, the balance is poor when the bat case is carried by hand or when it is carried on the back, causing inconvenience. Therefore, the upper end is 0 to 50 from the upper end of the bat case.
cm and preferably on top.

Next, the upper ends of the two belts do not have to be always arranged at a horizontal position in the longitudinal direction. However, in consideration of carrying on both shoulders, it is desirable that the upper end be mounted at the same position in the length direction, that is, horizontally.

Next, an optimum value for the distance between the upper end portions is determined according to the shoulder width of the user. Therefore, in a bat case for an adult, the range between the upper ends is preferably 10 to 20 cm, and generally about 10 cm is suitable. In the case of a bat case for children, the range is preferably 0 to 10 cm, and generally about 5 cm is suitable. Therefore, it is possible to carry out in the range of 0 to 20 cm between the upper ends.

There is no particular limitation on the method of fixing the belt, and the belt can be fixed to the bat case body by a method such as sewing, bonding, fusion, riveting, etc. In consideration of strength and ease of production, sewing is suitable. I have. Further, it is also possible to implement a mode in which a clip is provided at the end of the belt and a clip is provided at a mounting position.

There is no particular limitation on the mounting position of the lower end of the belt, as long as it is at least 20 cm away from the upper end. However, in consideration of the ease of carrying the bat, a mode in which the bat is attached to the lower portion of the main body is suitable. Further, the lower end portion may be provided with a constant interval, or may be implemented in a form in which the lower end portion is arranged at the same position. Further, when the cross section of the main body has a rectangular shape, considering the ease of carrying, 2
It is desirable that the positions where the upper end and the lower end of the belt are attached are on the same plane. Further, in consideration of the balance of the bat case, it is desirable to mount the belt so that the center of both upper end portions and the center of both lower end portions to which the belt is attached and the center line with respect to the lateral width of the surface to which the belt is attached coincide. Also, as shown in FIG. 1, when the upper ends 20A and 20B are arranged at two points at a fixed interval, the lower ends 21A and 20B are used in order to make the belts 6A and 6B parallel during use so that they can be easily carried. , 21B are also upper end portions 20A, 2
It is desirable to have a form in which it is attached at substantially the same interval as 0B and at the position of the lower portion 5 corresponding to the upper end portions 20A and 20b.

Further, as shown in FIG. 2B, in the embodiment in which the belt is hooked on the net on the ground side and the bat case is set up obliquely, the lower end is not fixed and
It must be in a form that can be freely removed. For this purpose, it is desirable that a clip is provided at the lower end of the belt and a clip is provided at a position where the lower end is attached. Here, there is no particular limitation on the form of the clip and the clip, and it is sufficient that the belt can be attached and detached. A so-called “Eggplant”, which has been implemented as a conventional method of fixing a belt of a bat case, is suitable for a clip, and a so-called “D-can” is suitable for clipping. In addition, the above-mentioned clip and clipping can be used for attaching the upper end.

Further, since a plurality of clips can be attached to one clipping, one or two clippings can be implemented. But,
In order to arrange the belt parallel to the length direction of the bat case, it is desirable to provide two clip stoppers at the same interval as the upper end. On the other hand, in consideration of ease of production and weight reduction, one form of clipping is desirable. In the case where only one clip is provided on the lower end side, the clip is provided on the lower portion 5 and the upper end portion 20A and the upper end portion 20A as shown in FIG.
B is desirable.

The material of the belt may be any commonly used material, such as polyamide resin, polypropylene resin,
It is possible to use a fabric made of a fiber woven fabric made of a polyester resin or the like, and a fabric made of a polypropylene resin fiber is suitable in consideration of cost and weight reduction. The length of the belt is determined by the length of the belt, and is not particularly limited. However, a belt shorter than the installation length is physically impossible. Also, belts that are longer than twice the installation length have too much room, causing problems. Therefore, it is suitable that the length of the belt is 1-2 times as long as the mounting length. It is desirable that the belt be provided with an adjusting rod for adjusting the length. By adjusting the length, the length is adjusted to the size of the user's body, and as a result, convenience is improved. Further, in the embodiment shown in FIG.
This is because the inclination of the bat case can be adjusted by adjusting the length of the belt, and the bat can be easily taken out.

Further, the present invention can be practiced by providing a band for binding two belts (hereinafter referred to as a bundle band). And
This bundle allows the two belts to be bundled into one, and as a result, the convenience when carrying on one shoulder or holding by hand is improved. Such a bundle band is a band-like band for bundling two belts, and can be diverted from that conventionally used for bundling a handbag of a sports bag. This band can be applied to one of the belts or not to any of the belts. The bundle may be bundled by hook-and-loop fasteners or may be bundled by hooks.

In the present invention, it is only required that the bat case can be carried by both shoulders. Therefore, a ring-shaped support member is attached within a range of 0 to 50 cm from the upper side of the bat case, and one belt is passed through the ring shape, and both ends of the belt are separated from the support member by 20 to 100 cm. The embodiment can be implemented even in the form of being arranged on the lower end side.

Further, in the embodiment in which the bat case as shown in FIG. 2 (B) is attached to the net on the ground side, strength is required at the bottom of the normal bat case. Therefore,
It is desirable to provide a cover made of plastic or the like at the lower part of the bat case. Here, the thickness of the cover arranged at the lower part is not particularly limited, but if it is too thin, there is no strength.
If it is too thick, it will be against weight reduction. Therefore, the thickness of the cover must be in the range of 0.05 to 0.50 cm, and preferably about 0.2 cm.

Also, the embodiment can be implemented by providing a clip below the bat case. Then, by hooking the clip on the net together with the above-mentioned belt, the bat case becomes more stable, and as a result, the bat can be easily taken out. In this embodiment, the lower clip may be directly disposed on the bat case, or may be disposed on the bat case via a belt of about 5 to 20 cm. And considering the ease of attaching the clip to the net, a belt of about 10 cm is provided,
It is desirable to provide a clip at the tip. The attachment position of the clip must be near the lower part of the bat case, and may be within the range of 0 to 20 cm from the lower end.
Further, in order to hold the bat case most stably, the clip should be located substantially at the center of the upper end of the belt, and
Must be mounted near the bottom.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the belt (6A,
6B) can also be implemented. In this form of crossing the belts, it is possible to carry the bat case sideways. The belt 6A and the belt 6
By setting B to different lengths, it becomes possible to carry the bat case diagonally. However, in an intersecting mode, two positions for attaching the belts to both the upper end side and the lower end side in order to intersect the belt must be provided.

As in the case of a normal bat case, one or more pockets for putting balls and gloves are provided at the same position on the outside of the bat case in the same manner as in the conventional bat case. desirable. Further, it is desirable that the lid provided for housing the bat case be capable of being opened and closed with a fastener. The fastener may be provided on the entire outer periphery of the main body, or may be in a form in which the fastener is not fully provided and the main body and the lid are connected, even when the fastener is fully opened. In addition, a large load is applied to the connection between the belt and the main body when the bat is carried. Therefore, in order to increase the strength of the mounting position of the belt, it is desirable to provide a reinforcing member in advance at the positions where the upper and lower ends are mounted. Further, the main body may be provided with a core material as provided in a golf caddy bag, but from the viewpoint of reducing the weight, it is desirable not to provide the core material. Further, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 2B, it is desirable that the lid is always open. Therefore, it is desirable to implement the present invention in a form in which a belt is provided inside the cover and the belt is hooked on a net or the belt is attached to the belt 6 or the main body 2 so that the cover can always be kept open.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS This embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 shows an overall view of a first embodiment of the present invention. FIGS. 2A and 2B show modes of use. FIG. 3 shows a second embodiment in which the belts intersect.

In the first embodiment, an adult bat case is used. Therefore, in order to make the entire length of the bat case 1 98 cm, the length of the main body 2 is 93 cm, and the height of the lid 3 is 5 cm.
cm. The horizontal cross-sectional shape of the main body 2 and the lid 3 is a rectangle of 21 cm × 17 cm so that the portion that hits the back when the bat case 1 is carried on the back is flat. If each corner of the rectangle, which is the cross-sectional shape of the main body, is a right angle, it may be dangerous for the user. Therefore, in this embodiment, the main body 2 having rounded corners is used. For the main body 2 and the lid 3, a polyamide resin fabric is used in consideration of strength and weight reduction. No core material is provided inside the main body 2 to reduce the weight. Next, the belt 6 (6A, 6B) is arranged on one of the surfaces having a width of 21 cm. Here, a belt made of polypropylene resin fiber is used in consideration of weight reduction and cost. End 2 of belt 6 at upper end 4 side
0 (20A, 20B) is sewn so as to be symmetric at a position 10 cm from the upper end 4 and at a lower end 5 side from the center line 9 with respect to the width of the surface.

Next, a clip 7 (7A, 21A) is attached to the upper end 21 (21A, 21B) of each of the belts 6A and 6B.
7B) is provided. In this embodiment, a so-called eggplant is used for the clip 7 in consideration of operability. Next, installation length 1
In order to set 0 to 80 cm, the lower end side is 80 cm from the upper end 21, and is 7 cm from the center line 9 similarly to the upper end 21.
Clips (8A, 8) are provided at remote positions. The length of the belt 6 is 1.5 times as long as the mounting length 10 1
The length of the belt 6 is adjusted by using an adjusting can 22 (22A, 22B). At a substantially central portion of the belt 6B, the bundle band 30 is sewn as shown in FIG. Then, a hook-and-loop fastener is provided on the bundle band so that the belt 6A and the belt 6B can be bundled. Here, in order to wind the two belts 6A and 6B, the bundle has a length of 20 cm and a width of 15 cm in consideration of easy holding.
cm of polyamide resin woven fabric was used. Next, lower end 1
Reference numeral 5 denotes a portion that directly touches the ground when the bat case is leaned, and requires strength. Therefore, a plastic cover 12 is provided to strengthen the bottom. The cover 12 may have a shape that covers the bottom of the main body 2 and is used for a conventional bat case or golf caddy bag. The thickness of the cover 12 was set to 0.2 cm in consideration of weight reduction of strength. With the configuration described above, the user can use the bat case 1 with both shoulders as shown in FIG. 2A.

Further, the clip 7 is detached from the clip stopper 8, and the clip 7 is hooked on a net, as shown in FIG.
The configuration shown in FIG. The angle of the bat case 1 can be changed by adjusting the length of the belt 6, so that the bat can be easily taken out.

Next, FIG.
Shown in The second embodiment has the same configuration as the bat case shown in FIG. Then, in order to cross the belt 6, the clip 7A is engaged with the clip stopper 8B, and the clip 7B is engaged with the clip stopper 8A. In this manner, the user can carry the bat case 1 in a horizontal or oblique direction. As a result, even a relatively short user can easily carry a long bat.

[0027]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, since the bat case can be carried on both shoulders, five to eight bats, which were conventionally difficult to carry, can be easily moved. Was. According to the second aspect of the present invention, the clips 7A and 7B attached to the upper end portion 21 of the belt can be removed from the bat case.
By hooking A and 7B on the net, the upper end of the bat case can be inclined to the opposite side from the net as shown in FIG. 2 (B). As a result, it is easier to put the bat in and out than when the bat case is placed on the ground sideways like a conventional bat case or leans toward the net. In addition, since the bat case is held by the belt, the inconvenience of the bat case leaning against the net falling down when the bat is taken out is eliminated, and furthermore, the bat case is not contaminated. Further, by adopting the configuration shown in the second embodiment, it becomes possible to carry the bat case sideways or obliquely, so that even a relatively short user can easily carry a long bat. Became.
