Abstract

A cover-type containing structure for flexible enclosures mainly includes a front cover sheet, a rear cover sheet and a flexible enclosure. The front cover sheet includes a first joining edge and a cover piece, whereas the rear cover sheet includes a cover assembly corresponding to the cover piece. The flexible enclosure includes a second joining edge and by engaging the first joining edge with the second joining edge, the front cover sheet and the flexible enclosure are fixed. Besides, the containing structure further includes a holding portion. Under a contained state, the holding portion is used to contain smaller objects; whereas, in an unfolded state, in addition to that the flexible enclosure is used to contain larger objects, the holding portion can be used as well to contain smaller objects. The present invention can be also applied to combine with a clothing or other flexible enclosure.
