Abstract

A storage bag that can maintain compactness, into which an object can be easily inserted and stored, and whose shape can be changed after the object is stored in the storage bag. A storage bag including a cylindrical body and a bottom at one end of the body, wherein the bottom closes one end of the body, the other open end of the body is formed as a storage opening, and the inside space of the storage bag is formed as a storage space capable of storing an object, and wherein the body is made of fabric in which fibers are woven in perpendicular directions, and the fiber directions A and B in the fabric are inclined with respect to the circumferential direction and the lengthwise direction of the body.

Claims

1. A storage bag comprising:

a cylindrical body; and

a bottom at one end of the body;

wherein the bottom closes one end of the body, the other, open end of the body is formed as a storage opening, and the inside space of the storage bag is formed as a storage space capable of storing an object; and

wherein the body is made of fabric in which fibers are woven in perpendicular directions, and the fabric fiber directions are inclined with respect to the circumferential direction and the lengthwise direction of the body.

2. The storage bag according to claim 1, wherein the diameter of the body on the storage opening side is larger than that on the bottom side.

3. The storage bag according to claim 2, wherein the diameter of the body gradually becomes larger from the bottom toward the storage opening.

4. The storage bag according to claim 1, wherein a first tunnel-like loop extending along the circumference of the storage opening and a first draw-string that is put through the first tunnel-like loop are provided around the storage opening;

and the storage opening is narrowed and closed by pulling the first draw-string protruding from a first opening made at section of the first tunnel-like loop.

5. The storage bag according to claim 4, wherein a second tunnel-like loop extending along the circumference of the body and a second draw-string that is put through the second tunnel-like loop are provided at a second narrowing position spaced apart from the storage opening towards the bottom side;

and the body at the second narrowing position is narrowed by pulling the second draw-string protruding from a second opening made at section of the second tunnel-like loop.

6. A storage container comprising a body with its inside space serving as a storage space, the storage container capable of storing an object by inserting the object into the storage space through a storage opening formed at an open end of the body, wherein the body is made of fabric in which fibers are woven in perpendicular directions, and the fabric fiber directions are inclined with respect to the direction in which the object is inserted into the body, as well as the direction perpendicular to the object insertion direction.
