Description

The invention relates to a carrying device, in particular a carrying device for cleaning agents and/or utensils.

In urban areas, household and building cleaning jobs require the transport of loads that are too large for common bag systems, so that a car is usually used to transport them.

The following bags or trolleys for transporting cleaning utensils are known in the prior art: DE 20100071 A1 , DE 297 04 591 U1 , DE 20 2011 005 440 U1 , US 4,280,643A , DE 10 2015 009 997 A1 , US 4,350,274A , and DE 202 00 503 U1 .

Furthermore, the following portable, box-like devices for cleaning utensils are known in the prior art: US 5,839,771A , US 892,969 A , US 3,887,103A , US 4,613,041A , US 5,035,321A , and U.S. 2005/045640 A1 .

The documents EP 0 943 248 A1 , DE 10 2004 015 956 B3 and US 4,867,360A disclose attachable or belt-like devices for transporting cleaning utensils.

The carrying device enables, among other things, the transport of loads of different weights and sizes on the body and still allows freedom of movement.

If equipment or tools are required for cleaning services, they often vary greatly in size and shape, so a well thought-out carrying system is required. Conventional suitcases, bags or rucksacks are not suitable for larger-sized tools and equipment and do not offer an order system for the various cleaning equipment, the separation of clean and unclean cloths or mops, the separation of equipment from personal items, the separation of cleaning chemicals from hygiene items.

In particular, it is difficult to keep order with objects of different sizes.

The object of the present disclosure is to provide devices that overcome or minimize the above-mentioned disadvantages of the prior art. An object of the present disclosure is to provide an improved carrying device.

This object is achieved with the features of the independent patent claims. The dependent claims relate to advantageous embodiments.

According to an aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided a carrier for carrying objects, the carrier comprising: a closable main body forming a space in which objects can be accommodated; a carrying system attached to the main body and allowing the carrying device to be carried by a user; and preferably at least one compartment externally attached to the main body, the compartment being adapted to transport an elongate object, in particular a rod, preferably a telescopic rod.

Various embodiments can preferably implement the following features.

The compartment is preferably open at the top.

Preferably the compartment is closed at the bottom or open at the bottom and narrowed to hold the rod. The variant closed at the bottom facilitates production.

Preferably the compartment is sewn or glued or zipped or buttoned to the main body.

Preferably, the compartment is attached to one side of the main body.

At least one reflective surface, preferably at least one reflective strip, is preferably attached to at least one side and/or to a front side of the main body.

The back of the main body is the side of the main body that abuts against the user's body when the carrying device is worn on a user's back. The front is thus the side of the main body opposite the back.

In other words, the main body preferably has at least one reflective surface, preferably at least one reflective strip.

The at least one reflecting surface is preferably attached to a location that is visible from the outside when the carrying device is being worn by a user.

With the reflective surfaces described, safety, for example in road traffic, can be increased for the user, among other things.

Preferably, the carrying device further comprises: a partition which is mounted in the main body, preferably detachably, and which divides the space formed in the main body into first and second areas.

The dividing shelf can be provided in addition to the compartment described above or independently of the compartment described above. In other words, the carrying device can have the main body, the carrying system and the compartment and/or the partition.

Preferably, the partition is mounted horizontally in the space defined by the main body.

In other words, the partition divides the main body, at least partially, into an upper area (first area) and a lower area (second area).

The separating base preferably has at least one recess which is/are preferably located on the edges. The provision of the recess allows larger items to be transported safely. In other words, the recess allows an object to extend through the bottom and top portions. At the same time, the recess can be adjusted in such a way that the object to be transported is held securely in the carrying device, e.g. by specifically adapting the recess to the size of the object to be transported.

Preferably, the divider is made of a flexible plastic, PVC, nylon or leather and/or is attached to the main body with Velcro strips, buttons, zippers or loops.

Preferably, the carrying device further includes modular pockets, preferably located within the main body. A further separation between different objects to be transported can thus be achieved. Furthermore, the objects can be transported safely since the freedom of movement of the objects to be transported is restricted.

The modular pockets may be provided in addition to or independently of the compartment and/or divider base described above. In other words, the carrying device can comprise the main body, the carrying system and the compartment and/or the divider floor and/or the modular pockets.

The pockets are preferably placed loosely in the interior of the main body. This makes it easier to adjust the division in the interior of the carrying device, depending on requirements or the objects to be transported.

Preferably, the main body is reinforced from the inside.

Preferably, the main body has two side parts.

Preferably, the compartment is attached to a side part of the main body.

At least one of the side parts, particularly preferably both side parts, is preferably reinforced from the inside.

Thus, the present disclosure provides a transport device that enables the transport of loads with different dimensions, sizes and weight on the body of a user, e.g. a cleaning worker, while maintaining order, clarity and ergonomics.

One aspect of the present disclosure is to combine a closable main body, in which objects can be stored, with a carrying device as used in hiking backpacks.

In embodiments, a main body is divided into two sections by a horizontal, removable divider, the divider preferably having recesses to accommodate long items the full size of the main body, and preferably a compartment external to the main body to accommodate very long items (i.e., expansion of the object is larger than the interior of the carrying device) such as a telescopic rod. Furthermore, modular inner pockets are preferably provided and/or closable openings are provided in the upper and lower area of the main body. The closable openings are adapted to allow access from the outside into the interior of the carrying device (main body).

• Die 1-6 zeigen verschiedene Ansichten der Tragevorrichtung oder einzelner Elemente der Tragevorrichtung gemäß einer Ausführungsform der Offenbarung.

The aspects mentioned above are explained in more detail below using exemplary embodiments and the figures. Show it:

• the 1-6 12 show different views of the carrying device or individual elements of the carrying device according to an embodiment of the disclosure.

6 12 is a schematic view of a modular bag 60 having a top closure system 61, a back loop 62, and a printable top 63, according to an embodiment of the disclosure.

The main body 10 consists of an elastic material, an opening with a locking system 11 at the top and an opening with a locking system 12 at the bottom to allow access to the contents from both sides.

In one embodiment, the main body can be reinforced from the inside so that it is stable in itself even when empty and the advertising surfaces 21 and 13 are stable and always clearly visible.

The main body 10 may have one or more printable billboards 21 on the sides and/or one or more billboards 13 on the broad exterior.

In one embodiment, the one or more advertising spaces can be attached to the outside with a fastening system, in particular one or more Velcro strips, press studs, buttons or zippers, so that they can be exchanged if necessary.

The main body 10 also has an internal holding device 14 for inserting the horizontal partition 15 . The holding device 14 can have various configurations, e.g. the holding device can be designed as Velcro strips, snap fasteners, buttons or zippers. The holding device 14 is adapted to accommodate and hold the partition in the interior of the main body 10 in a detachable manner.

The closure system 11 is designed with an additional closure hook 30 at the top so that the size of the main body 10 can be adjusted to the contents by rolling the material. Snaps and a hook 30 with adjustable webbing 31 provide an easy closure without the material unrolling itself.

The main body 10 further includes a side pocket 20 made of an elastic material sewn to one of both sides of the main body 10 . The side compartment 20 is preferably elongated, rounded, tapered downwards and open ( 2a) or closed below ( 2 B) , to facilitate manufacture, and provided with at least one opening at the top. The compartment 20 thus enables the transport of elongate objects whose length exceeds that of the main body 10, such as telescopic poles 22, which are used for floor mopping, window cleaning, wall cleaning or ceiling cleaning.

The horizontal partition 15 consists of an easily bendable, solid material, has one or more lateral recesses 41 and lateral holding devices 42 which fit onto the holding devices 14 mounted on the inside of the main body 10 .

The recesses 41 of the dividing base 15 provided at the edges enable the transport of elongate objects within the main body 10 when the dividing base is inserted, the length of which extends over the entire main body 10, for example oversized window squeegees.

Within the interior of the main body 10 are one or more modular pockets 60 which are used to hold small items to maintain order, for example a clean versus dirty cleaning wipes divider, personal hygiene items, documents or cell phones.

The part of the main body 10 lying under the partition 15 serves to accommodate a bucket/cleaning bucket. The bucket can be removed from the underlying part 50 with the partition 15 inserted without having to move other objects in the main body 10 . The opening with the closure system 12 in the lower area of the main body 10 is provided for this purpose.

A carrying device 23 on the side facing the body enables the main body 10 to be transported ergonomically directly on the shoulder, while the actual weight of the load lies on the pelvis of the wearer by means of a lap belt 24 .
