Description: THE BAG WITH MATTING AND BACKBOARD Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a bag with matting and backboard, which can be usually used as a bag and, if necessary, can be unfolded for use as a matting and a backboard. Background of the Invention As everyone knows , since suitable matting is not available at the stands of the sports stadium or at the outdoors , newspaper or handkerchief is generally used for sitting down. Therefore , after using such newspaper as a matting , the newspaper used has to be discarded and printing ink of newspaper may stain clothing. Further, if handkerchief is used, it will be stained with soil, sand, or other kinds of dirt, so it has to be immediately washed. Moreover, most students have to take longer school hours as they go on to higher levels and it is not easy for them to sit down on the inconvenient, hard chair for long time , which may often have an adverse effect on their learning efficiency. In such instance, most students are using an additional cushion during their class , meaning much inconvenience of buying and keeping such cushion, and most office workers also often use this cushion, indicating much inconvenience of buying and keeping the cushion . More importantly, sitting down on the inconvenient chair for long time will adversely affect the spinal column and, if such condition is continued for longer period, it may cause incurable deformation of spinal column. Detailed Description of the Invention The purpose of this invention is to provide a bag with matting and backboard, which can be used as a matting, if necessary, and then can be integrated with and folded as the bag after use, while considering the fact that most students of elementary, middle, and high schools, and university, and most young men who frequently visit the sports stadium or outdoors carry the bag. Such purpose of this invention can be realised by adding a matting connected to one side of a main body and a fastening device , such as a slide fastener or Velcro tape, for fastening of the main body and matting, to the conventional bag with a main body having more than one partitioned receipt space, a cover, a fastening device for fastening of the main body and cover, and a grip. Accordingly, this invention can be usually used as a bag and, if necessary, its matting and backboard integrated into the bag can be unfolded and used for sitting down. After use, they can be folded into the bag for easy carrying. Brief Description of Drawings Figure 1 is a drawing showing overall structure of the bag of the present invention. Figure 2 is a drawing illustrating overall unfolded state of the bag of the present invention . Figure 3 is a cross-sectional view of unfolded state of the bag of the present invention . Figure 4 is an explanatory diagram showing another example of the bag of the present invention . <Symbol explanation of major parts in drawings> 1 : Main receipt space 2 : Extra receipt space 3 : Main body 4 : Cover 5 : Fastening device 6 : Matting 8 : Fastening mean 12 : Backboard Preferred Embodiment of the Present Invention The present invention is further illustrated by the following description while referring to the attached figures , which should not be taken to limit the scope of the invention . Overall structure of the present invention is illustrated in Figure 1. As can be seen in this figure, the present invention comprises a conventional bag consisting of a main body (3) equipped with a main receipt space (1) for receiving bulky books or personal belongings and an extra receipt space (2) for receiving small belongings, such as slippers, learning materials, and cellular phone, a cover (4) for covering the upper part of the main and extra receipt spaces (1 and 2) from the upper part to the lower part of the main body, and a fastening device (5) for fastening the main body (3) and the cover (4) , a backboard (12) attached to one side of the main body, a matting (6) connected to a connector (7) in the lower part, and a fastening mean (8) for folding or unfolding both sides of the matting (6) and main body (3) . The present invention of such structure can be carried as a bag in folded form whose matting (6) and backboard (12) are fastened to the main body (3) by the fastening mean (8) . Therefore, it can be used as a usual bag . However, if it is necessary for users to see sports game at the stands or to sit down on the outdoors , the fastened state can be released by moving a slider of the sliding fastener, the fastening mean (8), to be unfolded as shown in Figure 2 and to be used as a matting (6) as shown in Figure 3. Accordingly, when using this invention for sitting down, the matting (6) is laid in the stands or outdoors and the backboard (12) is supporting the back , enabling convenient use . Accordingly, this invention can prevent the deformation of spinal column by protecting the back side when sitting down for long time . Further, if sitting down for class is necessary for long time, the matting (6) and backboard (12) will support the waist of students to facilitate blood circulation, to relieve their atigue , and to improve learning efficiency . Further, by attaching an elastic tightening band (9) to the backboard (12) and the matting (6) as necessary as can be seen in Figure 4, the backboard (12) can be tightened by hanging and fixing it to a backboard of seat so as not to be moved and the matting (6) can be fixed by hanging it to the base of the seat, which enables more convenient use . Moreover, this invention can also be modified by putting an appropriate thickness of elastic material , such as sponge, into the inside of the matting (6) and backboard (12) for more convenience when sitting down. In this way, after use of this invention as the matting (6) , it can be carried as a usual bag by moving the slider of slide fastener, the fastening mean (8) , to fasten both sides of matting (6) and backboard (12) . Also, a shoulder belt (10) can be added for carrying the bag over the shoulder or a grip (11) can be additionally provided to the upper of cover (4) for hand-carrying. Further, a cushion material , such as sponge , can be inserted to the inside of the matting (6) and backboard (12) and its thickness can be varied depending on parts to improve the convenience when sitting down. Besides, making the lower part of the backboard (12) thick and the upper part thin will improve such convenience . Moreover, this invention can also be used as a garbage bag by putting wastes generated in the outdoors or sports stadium into the main body (3) and carrying them to home or other places where to discard them. Industrial Applicability Accordingly, this invention can be usually used as a bag and, if necessary, its matting (6) integrated into the bag can be unfolded and used at the stands or outdoors . After use of the matting (6) and backboard (12) , they can be folded into the bag for easy carrying. Further, since students or office workers can use the matting (6) and backboard (12) of this invention in the class or during work, there is no need to purchase, keep, and maintain an additional cushion. Moreover, this invention has the backboard (12) attached to the main body (3) , so, even when sitting down for long time, the waist is not stressed, preventing the deformation of spinal column, relieving fatigue, and accordingly, improving the learning efficiency. This invention can also be used as a garbage bag by putting wastes generated in the outdoors or sports stadium into the main body (3) and carrying them to a place where to discard them, which will contribute to protection of environment.
