Bag with a grip

Abstract

An auxiliary member is fixed to a bag, and a grip is attached to the bag perpendicularly with respect to the longitudinal direction of the bag. An end of the grip is latched to an opening provided in the auxiliary member. A medical study shows that strain on the hand is mitigated since the grip is maintained perpendicular while the bag is being carried.

       3 . The bag according to  claim 1 , wherein said grip has two ends thereof associated with a side of the bag and one end thereof associated with the other side of the bag so as to present a T-shaped or Y-shaped configuration, and wherein at least the one end is detachable from the bag.  
   
   
       4 . The bag according to  claim 1 , wherein both ends of said grip are fixed to joints provided on respective sides of the bag, and at least one of the joints is detachable from the bag.  
   
   
       5 . The bag according to  claim 1 , wherein said grip has two ends for one side of the bag and has other two ends for the other side of the bag so as to present an X-shaped or H-shaped configuration, and at least the two ends associated with one of the sides are detachable from the bag.  
   
   
       6 . A bag provided with a grip, wherein said grip is provided so as to be substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the bag, and a bag opening and closing mechanism is provided at a location where said grip does not interrupt an action of opening or closing the bag.  
   
   
       7 . The bag according to  claim 6 , wherein said grip is retractably embedded in the bag.  
   
   
       8 . The bag according to  claim 6 , wherein said grip is provided with a lock mechanism which prevents the bag from being opened undesirably.  
   
   
       9 . A bag provided with a grip, wherein said grip is fixed to the bag by a mechanism which stabilizes said grip in at least two orientations, one substantially perpendicular to and one substantially parallel with the longitudinal direction of the bag.  
   
   
       10 . The bag according to  claim 9 , wherein said mechanism is forced in a direction which brings said grip in intimate contact with the bag, and, said grip is supported so as to be rotatable between said two orientations when a user pulls said grip against the force.  
   
   
       11 . A bag provided with a grip, wherein said grip is attached to the bag by a mounting unit provided with a bearing cavity, and said grip is rotatable around said bearing cavity.  
   
   
       12 . A bag provided with a grip, wherein said grip is attached to the bag so as to be substantially parallel with a longitudinal direction of the bag by a first connecting member and a second connecting member, wherein said grip, said first connecting member, said second connecting member and the bag are connected to each other by a fulcrum mechanism, and, when a user walks holding said grip, the bag is movable back and forth in association with walk.  
   
   
       13 . A bag provided with a grip, wherein said grip is attached to the bag forming an angle of approximately 45 degrees with respect to a longitudinal direction of the bag.  
   
   
       14 . The bag according to  claim 13 , wherein the bag is for right-handed users, and said grip is provided to form an angle of approximately 45 degrees counterclockwise with respect to the longitudinal direction of the bag, from a viewpoint of a user carrying the bag.  
   
   
       15 . The bag according to  claim 13 , wherein said grip is attached to the bag by a mounting mechanism fixed to the sides along the longitudinal direction of the bag, and wherein ease of action of opening or closing the bag is secured by allowing said grip to be rotatable around said mounting mechanisms to reach a rest position lateral to sides of the bag when the bag is opened or closed, by ensuring that length of said grip is larger than length of a route that connects said mounting mechanisms passing vertices of one of short edges on a rectangular top surface of the bag.  
   
   
       16 . The bag according to  claim 14 , wherein said grip is attached to the bag by a mounting mechanism fixed to the sides along the longitudinal direction of the bag, and wherein ease of action of opening or closing the bag is secured by allowing said grip to be rotatable around said mounting mechanisms to reach a rest position lateral to sides of the bag when the bag is opened or closed, by ensuring that length of said grip is larger than length of a route that connects said mounting mechanisms passing vertices of one of short edges on a rectangular top surface of the bag.  
   
   
       17 . A bag provided with a grip, comprising a plurality of mounting members fixed to both sides of the bag, wherein ends of said grip are detachably attached to a selected group of said plurality of mounting members.  
   
   
       18 . The bag according to  claim 17 , wherein positions of fixing the selected group of said plurality of mounting members to the respective sides of the bag are determined to ensure that said grip is provided so as to be substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the bag when said grip is attached to the bag.  
   
   
       19 . The bag according to  claim 17 , wherein positions of fixing the selected group of said plurality of mounting members to the respective sides of the bag are determined to ensure that said grip is provided so as to form an angle of approximately 45 degrees with respect to a longitudinal direction of the bag when said grip is attached to the bag.  
   
   
       20 . The bag according to  claim 1 , wherein a relatively small projection is formed at a location against which the center of palm of a user holding said grip is thrust.  
   
   
       21 . The bag according to  claim 6 , wherein a relatively small projection is formed at a location against which the center of palm of a user holding said grip is thrust.  
   
   
       22 . The bag according to  claim 9 , wherein a relatively small projection is formed at a location against which the center of palm of a user holding said grip is thrust.  
   
   
       23 . The bag according to  claim 11 , wherein a relatively small projection is formed at a location against which the center of palm of a user holding said grip is thrust.  
   
   
       24 . The bag according to  claim 12 , wherein a relatively small projection is formed at a location against which the center of palm of a user holding said grip is thrust.  
   
   
       25 . The bag according to  claim 13 , wherein a relatively small projection is formed at a location against which the center of palm of a user holding said grip is thrust.
