Abstract

A foldable insulated bag includes: a bag main body including a bottom surface portion and a side surface portion; a lid body attached to the bag main body; and a bottom surface insulating member and a side surface insulating member provided to the bag main body, wherein the side surface insulating member has an end portion, closer to the bottom surface insulating member, provided with a fold back portion that is configured to be provided to cover at least a part of the bottom surface insulating member during use of the insulated bag.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A foldable insulated bag comprising:
a bag main body including a bottom surface portion and a side surface portion;
a lid body attached to the bag main body; and
a bottom surface insulating member and a side surface insulating member provided to the bottom surface portion and the side surface portion of the bag main body, respectively,
wherein the side surface insulating member has an end portion, closer to the bottom surface insulating member, provided with a fold back portion provided to cover at least a part of the bottom surface insulating member during use of the insulated bag,
wherein the fold back portion comprises an inner surface facing inside of the bag main body and an outer surface facing outside of the bag main body, and
wherein a shortest distance between the part of the bottom surface insulating member covered by the fold back portion and the outer surface of the fold back portion is less than a shortest distance between the part of the bottom surface insulating member covered by the fold back portion and the inner surface of the fold back portion,
wherein the fold back portion extends from entire circumference of the side surface insulating member
wherein the bottom surface portion of the bag main body is separate and removable from the bottom surface insulating member,
wherein the side surface portion of the bag main body is separate and removable from the side surface insulating member.

2. The insulated bag according to claim 1 , wherein the fold back portion is provided to cover an end portion of the bottom surface insulating member.

3. The insulated bag according to claim 1 , wherein the fold back portion has a length of 5 mm to 170 mm.

4. The insulated bag according to claim 1 , wherein the fold back portion is notched at boundary regions among a first side surface insulating member, a second side surface insulating member, and a third side surface insulating member adjacent to each other.

5. The insulated bag according to claim 1 , wherein the fold back portion covers 5% to 100% of a surface area of the bottom surface insulating member.

6. The insulated bag according to claim 1 , wherein the fold back portion covers the bottom surface insulating member.

7. An insulated bag comprising:
a bag main body including a bottom surface portion and a side surface portion;
a lid body attached to the bag main body;
a bottom surface insulating member and a side surface insulating member provided to the bottom surface portion and the side surface portion of the bag main body, respectively; and
an extending portion extending from an end of the side surface insulating member for increasing a contact area between the side surface insulating member and the bottom surface insulating member during use of the insulated bag, wherein the side surface insulating member extends in a first direction and the extending portion extends from the end of the side surface insulating member in a second direction, which is orthogonal to the first direction,
wherein the extending portion extends from entire circumference of the side surface insulating member,
wherein the bottom surface portion of the bag main body is separate and removable from the bottom surface insulating member,
wherein the side surface portion of the bag main body is separate and removable from the side surface insulating member.

8. The insulated bag according to claim 7 , wherein the extending portion covers an end portion of the bottom surface insulating member.

9. The insulated bag according to claim 7 , wherein the extending portion has a length of 5 mm to 170 mm.

10. The insulated bag according to claim 7 , wherein the extending portion is notched at boundary regions among a first side surface insulating member, a second side surface insulating member, and a third side surface insulating member adjacent to each other.

11. The insulated bag according to claim 7 , wherein the extending portion covers 5% to 100% of a surface area of the bottom surface insulating member.

12. The insulated bag according to claim 7 , wherein the extending portion covers the bottom surface insulating member.

13. The insulated bag according to claim 7 , further comprising a step portion formed in the bottom surface insulating member, wherein the step portion has a side surface in contact with a side portion of the extending portion.

14. The insulated bag according to claim 7 , further comprising a step portion formed in the bottom surface insulating member, wherein the step portion is in contact with an upper portion of the extending portion and a side portion of the side surface insulating member.

15. The insulated bag according to claim 7 , further comprising a step portion formed in the bottom surface insulating member, wherein the step portion has a side surface in contact with a side portion of the side surface portion insulating member.

16. The insulated bag according to claim 7 , further comprising a step portion formed in the bottom surface insulating member.
