Description

La présente invention se rapporte à un sac à dos, en particulier pour randonnées et pour escalade de montagne.The present invention relates to a backpack, in particular for hiking and mountain climbing.

La figure 1 jointe représente un équipement montagnard classique, composé ici d'un sac à dos 1 et d'un harnais abdominal d'escalade 4. Le sac à dos 1 est, comme on le voit sur le dessin, équipé, pour son maintien sur le dos de l'utilisateur, de bretelles 2 ainsi que d'une sangle abdominale 3 que l'on peut serrer à loisir et qui se ferme au moyen d'une fermeture rapide classique à deux éléments complémentaires 26 et 27.The attached FIG. 1 represents a traditional mountain equipment, composed here of a backpack 1 and an abdominal climbing harness 4. The backpack 1 is, as can be seen in the drawing, equipped, for its maintenance on the user's back, suspenders 2 as well as an abdominal strap 3 which can be tightened at leisure and which is closed by means of a conventional quick closure with two complementary elements 26 and 27.

Le harnais d'escalade 4 se compose d'une ceinture abdominale 5, qui comporte un ou plusieurs anneaux ou mousquetons et que l'on peut elle-aussi serrer à loisir, ainsi que d'un cuissard 6 qui est fixé à cette ceinture 5.The climbing harness 4 consists of an abdominal belt 5, which has one or more rings or carabiners and which can also be tightened at leisure, as well as a shorts 6 which is fixed to this belt 5 .

Finalement, le montagnard ainsi équipé voit deux épaisseurs de ceintures lui enserrer la taille : la ceinture 3 et la ceinture 5. Il en résulte une gêne importante en ce qui concerne l'aisance de ses mouvements.Finally, the mountain dweller thus equipped sees two thicknesses of belts enclosing his waist: belt 3 and belt 5. This results in significant discomfort as regards the ease of his movements.

D'une manière générale, il en est ainsi dès lors qu'il s'agit d'un harnachement de montagne qui comporte, d'une part, un sac à dos et, d'autre part, un autre équipement dont au moins une partie fait en quelque sorte double emploi avec une partie homologue du sac à dos.In general, this is so when it is a mountain harness which comprises, on the one hand, a backpack and, on the other hand, other equipment including at least one part is a kind of duplication with a homologous part of the backpack.

Pour remédier à cet inconvénient, il a déjà été proposé, selon le document US-A-4.318.502, un sac à dos équipé de moyens aptes à le solidariser, de manière amovible, à un harnais d'escalade porté lui-aussi par l'utilisateur et indépendant de ce sac à dos, le sac à dos et le harnais d'escalade comprenant l'un et l'autre des éléments additionnels de solidarisation.To overcome this drawback, it has already been proposed, according to document US-A-4,318,502, a backpack equipped with means capable of securing it, in a removable manner, to a climbing harness also worn by the user and independent of this backpack, the backpack and the climbing harness comprising both of the additional securing elements.

Cette solution n'est cependant pas toujours commercialement très satisfaisante car d'une part elle manque de souplesse, étant très ciblée sur une combinaison particulière sac-harnais, et d'autre part elle oblige à prévoir un harnais d'escalade spécialement conçu en conséquence, alors que l'utilisateur en possède peut-être déjà un classique dont il ne souhaite souvent pas se séparer pour en acheter un autre, et alors que par ailleurs le fabricant de sacs à dos n'est peut-être pas nécessairement aussi un fabricant de harnais d'escalade.However, this solution is not always commercially very satisfactory because on the one hand it lacks flexibility, being very targeted on a particular bag-harness combination, and on the other hand it requires to provide a climbing harness specially designed accordingly, while the user may already have a classic which he often does not want not separate to buy another, and while the manufacturer of backpacks may not necessarily also be a manufacturer of climbing harnesses.

L 'invention vise à remédier aux inconvénients des dispositifs connus jusqu'alors.The invention aims to remedy the drawbacks of the devices known hitherto.

Elle se rapporte à cet effet à un sac à dos équipé de moyens aptes à le solidariser, de manière amovible, à au moins un autre équipement porté lui-aussi par l'utilisateur et indépendant de ce sac à dos, caractérisé en ce que, cet autre équipement comportant une ceinture abdominale, cet autre équipement ne présente aucun élément additionnel, et en ce qu'un ou des éléments de solidarisation de cette ceinture et du sac sont en revanche prévus pour, en emprisonnant cette ceinture abdominale, attacher le sac à cette dernière.To this end, it relates to a backpack equipped with means capable of securing it, in a removable manner, to at least one other item of equipment also worn by the user and independent of this backpack, characterized in that, this other equipment comprising an abdominal belt, this other equipment has no additional element, and in that one or more elements for securing this belt and the bag are, however, provided for, by trapping this abdominal belt, attaching the bag to the latter.

Selon un mode préférentiel de réalisation, l'élément de solidarisation comporte au moins un manchon ouvert qui se rabat sur cette ceinture abdominale et se fixe alors en cette position au moyen d'attaches amovibles.According to a preferred embodiment, the joining element comprises at least one open sleeve which folds over this abdominal belt and is then fixed in this position by means of removable fasteners.

Avantageusement, ce manchon constitue un élément indépendant, lui-même préférentiellement constitué par deux demi-manchons indépendants l'un de l'autre, qui vient se solidariser au sac par des attaches amovibles.Advantageously, this sleeve constitutes an independent element, itself preferably constituted by two half-sleeves independent of one another, which comes to join the bag by removable fasteners.

Avantageusement encore, ce sac à dos soit ne comporte pas de sangle abdominale, soit en comporte une, mais alors elle est amovible ou rétractable.Advantageously also, this backpack either does not have a lap strap, or has one, but then it is removable or retractable.

L'invention sera bien comprise, et ses avantages et autres caractéristiques ressortiront, lors de la description suivante de quelques exemples non limitatifs de réalisation de ce sac à dos, en référence au dessin schématique annexé dans lequel

  • . Figures 2 et 3 illustrent un premier mode de réalisation pour lequel il est utilisé, pour solidariser la base du sac à dos à la ceinture d'un harnais d'escalade, un manchon intermédiaire indépendant.
  • . Figure 4 illustre une variante de la réalisation selon les figures 2 et 3, pour laquelle il est utilisé deux demi-manchons intermédiaires au lieu d'un seul.
  • . Figures 5 à 8 illustrent une variante de la réalisation selon les figures 2 et 3, pour laquelle le manchon intermédiaire n'est pas indépendant, mais au contraire est fixé au sac.
  • . Figures 9 à 12 illustrent un mode de réalisation utilisant des mousquettons de solidarisation qui sont fixés au sac.
  • . Figure 13 illustre une variante de la réalisation selon les figures 9 à 12.

The invention will be clearly understood, and its advantages and other characteristics will emerge during the following description of a few non-limiting examples of the embodiment of this backpack, with reference to the appended schematic drawing in which
  • . Figures 2 and 3 illustrate a first embodiment for which it is used, to secure the base of the backpack to the belt of a climbing harness, an independent intermediate sleeve.
  • . Figure 4 illustrates a variant of the embodiment according to Figures 2 and 3, for which two intermediate half-sleeves are used instead of one.
  • . Figures 5 to 8 illustrate a variant of the embodiment according to Figures 2 and 3, for which the intermediate sleeve is not independent, but on the contrary is fixed to the bag.
  • . Figures 9 to 12 illustrate an embodiment using fastening carabiners which are fixed to the bag.
  • . FIG. 13 illustrates a variant of the embodiment according to FIGS. 9 to 12.
  • . FIG. 14 illustrates a variant of the embodiment according to FIG. 4.

Un exemple préférentiel de réalisation de la présente invention est schématisé aux figures 2 et 3.A preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown diagrammatically in FIGS. 2 and 3.

La figure 2 montre un manchon ouvert indépendant 19 qui, conformément à l'invention, est utilisé pour solidariser la base du sac 1 à la partie arrière 5 d'un harnais d'escalade 4 tel que celui représenté sur la figure 1. La figure 3 permet de comprendre comment s'effectue cette solidarisation.Figure 2 shows an independent open sleeve 19 which, in accordance with the invention, is used to secure the base of the bag 1 to the rear part 5 of a climbing harness 4 such as that shown in Figure 1. Figure 3 makes it possible to understand how this joining takes place.

Le manchon de solidarisation 19 est pourvu d'anneaux 18 qui permettent d'accrocher ce manchon dans des mousquetons 17 qui sont prévus en conséquence à la base du sac 1.The joining sleeve 19 is provided with rings 18 which allow this sleeve to be hooked in carabiners 17 which are provided consequently at the base of the bag 1.

Le manchon intermédiaire indépendant 19 est conformé pour venir s'enrouler (Figure 3) autour de la partie arrière de la ceinture abdominale 5 du harnais 4, et pour se refermer alors fermement dans cette position grâce à des attaches rapides 15,16 (Figure 2) qui, dans cet exemple, sont de classiques attaches rapides "à velours et crochets".The independent intermediate sleeve 19 is shaped to come and wind (Figure 3) around the rear part of the abdominal belt 5 of the harness 4, and to then close firmly in this position thanks to quick fasteners 15,16 (Figure 2 ) which, in this example, are classic "velvet and hook" quick couplers.

A partir de la position de la figure 3, la solidarisation amovible du harnais 4 et du sac 1 s'effectue tout simplement en introduisant les deux anneaux 18 dans leurs deux mousquetons conjugués 17.From the position of Figure 3, the joining removable from the harness 4 and from the bag 1 is carried out quite simply by introducing the two rings 18 into their two conjugated carabiners 17.

La ceinture abdominale 5 du harnais 4 sert alors aussi de ceinture abdominale pour le sac 1, qui en conséquence n'en comporte pas dans cet exemple de réalisation. Le harnais d'escalade 4 ne comporte, quant à lui, aucun élément spécial qui puisse le distinguer des harnais d'escalade classiques et aisément disponibles dans le commerce.The abdominal belt 5 of the harness 4 then also serves as an abdominal belt for the bag 1, which consequently does not include any in this embodiment. As for the climbing harness 4, it does not have any special element which can distinguish it from conventional climbing harnesses which are readily available commercially.

A noter qu'une encoche 20 est prévue au milieu de la partie inférieure du manchon 19 pour laisser passer la lanière médiane arrière 21 du harnais 4.Note that a notch 20 is provided in the middle of the lower part of the sleeve 19 to allow the rear median strap 21 of the harness 4 to pass.

Une intéressante variante de réalisation de ce mode préférentiel est schématisée sur la figure 4.An interesting variant of this preferred embodiment is shown diagrammatically in FIG. 4.

Selon cette réalisation, l'encoche 20 de la figure 2 est prolongée sur toute la circonférence transversale du manchon 19, et en conséquence, ce manchon 19 est remplacé par deux "demi-manchons" 19A et 19B identiques et séparés l'un de l'autre.According to this embodiment, the notch 20 in FIG. 2 is extended over the entire transverse circumference of the sleeve 19, and consequently, this sleeve 19 is replaced by two identical "half-sleeves" 19A and 19B and separated from one 'other.

Chacun de ces deux petits manchons 19A, 19B, vient donc emprisonner la partie arrière de la ceinture 5 du harnais de part et d'autre de la lanière médiane arrière 21 du harnais 4.Each of these two small sleeves 19A, 19B therefore traps the rear part of the belt 5 of the harness on either side of the rear median strap 21 of the harness 4.

Les attaches rapides 15,16 selon Figure 2 sont ici repérées respectivement 15A,16A et 15B,16B pour les demi-manchons 19A et 19B.The quick couplings 15, 16 according to Figure 2 are here marked respectively 15A, 16A and 15B, 16B for the half-sleeves 19A and 19B.

Les attaches conjuguées 17,18 selon Figure 2 sont ici repérées respectivement 17A,18A et 17B,18B pour les demi-manchons 19A et 19B, et sont ici, à titre illustratif des différentes possibilités non-limitatives de réalisation de la présente invention, réalisées sous forme de fermetures classiques à chacune deux éléments complémentaires, identiques aux fermetures 26 et 27 selon Figure 1.The conjugate fasteners 17, 18 according to FIG. 2 are here identified respectively 17A, 18A and 17B, 18B for the half-sleeves 19A and 19B, and are here, by way of illustration of the various non-limiting possibilities of embodiment of the present invention, produced in the form of conventional closures, each with two complementary elements, identical to closures 26 and 27 according to Figure 1.

Dans cet exemple de réalisation en outre, le sac 1 reste pourvu, afin de pouvoir éventuellement être utilisé seul, de sa sangle abdominale classique 3. Tout simplement, au cas où l'on utilise le sac 1 en combinaison avec le harnais 4 en les reliant l'un à l'autre selon l'invention, les deux pans de la ceinture 3 sont rabattus en arrière contre les deux côtés du sac 1, auxquels ils sont alors respectivement fixés de manière amovible par des demi-lanières 101 munies chacune d'un système d'attache rapide 102, par exemple à bouton-pression ou à "velours et crochets ", ces deux demi-lanières 101 venant se refermer l'une sur l'autre en emprisonnant alors la demi-ceinture rabattue (et si nécessaire repliée sur elle-même) 3. Bien entendu, cette disposition, ou une disposition équivalente, peut être adoptée pour toutes les réalisations conformes à la présente invention.In this exemplary embodiment, moreover, the bag 1 remains provided, so that it can possibly be used alone, with its conventional abdominal strap 3. Quite simply, in the case where one uses the bag 1 in combination with the harness 4 by connecting them to each other according to the invention, the two sides of the belt 3 are folded back against the two sides of the bag 1, to which they are then respectively fixed removably by half-straps 101 each provided with a quick attachment system 102, for example with a press button or with "velvet and hooks", these two half-straps 101 coming to close one on the other while trapping the folded half-belt (and if necessary folded back on itself) 3. Of course, this arrangement, or an equivalent arrangement, can be adopted for all the embodiments in accordance with the present invention.

La réalisation selon les figures 5 à 8 se différencie de celle selon les figures 2 et 3 par le fait que le manchon de solidarisation 19 n'est plus un manchon indépendant, mais est intégré à la base du sac 1.The embodiment according to FIGS. 5 to 8 differs from that according to FIGS. 2 and 3 by the fact that the joining sleeve 19 is no longer an independent sleeve, but is integrated into the base of the bag 1.

Comme on le voit sur ces figures 5 à 8, la partie inférieure de la face dorsale avant 11 du sac est donc munie d'un manchon ouvert 19 se présentant sous forme d'une bande trasversale rapportée 12 qui est, comme représenté, partiellement cousue sur le sac de façon à présenter un rabat supérieur 13 et un rabat inférieur 14 qui sont faits pour se rabattre positivement l'un sur l'autre en emprisonnant ainsi la partie arrière de la ceinture abdominale 5 du harnais d'escalade 4.As can be seen in these FIGS. 5 to 8, the lower part of the front dorsal face 11 of the bag is therefore provided with an open sleeve 19 in the form of an added transverse strip 12 which is, as shown, partially sewn on the bag so as to present an upper flap 13 and a lower flap 14 which are made to fold down positively one on the other, thus trapping the rear part of the abdominal belt 5 of the climbing harness 4.

Le rabat supérieur 13 recouvre alors le rabat inférieur 14, en enserrant la ceinture 4 et est fixé fermement ainsi par des attaches rapides complémentaires, telles que les attaches 15,16 à "velours et crochets" qui sont respectivement rapportées sur les rabats 13 et 14.The upper flap 13 then covers the lower flap 14, enclosing the belt 4 and is thus fixed firmly by complementary quick fasteners, such as fasteners 15,16 with "velvet and hooks" which are respectively attached to the flaps 13 and 14 .

A noter encore ici que la sangle abdominale 3 du sac 1 peut, comme en Figure 2, être totalement absente du sac 1, mais elle peut aussi, préférentiellement d'ailleurs, être soit amovible, soit rétractable, soit tout simplement ne pas être utilisée dans cette application.Note again here that the abdominal strap 3 of the bag 1 can, as in Figure 2, be completely absent from the bag 1, but it can also, preferably also, be either removable, or retractable, or simply not be used in this app.

A ce propos, il peut par exemple être prévu, selon Figure 5, de chaque côté du sac 1 un départ de sangle 7 qui est équipé de deux oeillets 8 dans lesquels viennent s'adapter deux mousquetons 9 de fixation amovible de la sangle abdominale 3, qui est donc une sangle amovible dans ce cas.In this regard, it may for example be provided, according to Figure 5, on each side of the bag 1 a strap start 7 which is equipped with two eyelets 8 in which are fitted two snap hooks 9 for removable attachment of the abdominal strap 3 , which is therefore a removable strap in this case.

Cette ceinture 3 peut aussi être fixée à demeure au sac, comme en Figure 4, mais alors le sac 1 et elle-même sont munis, à l'instar de la réalisation selon cette figure 4, d'un dispositif d'attaches rapides respectivement conjuguées 10, par exemple à "velours et crochets", qui permettent de replier les sangles 3 sur l'arrière du sac et de les fixer dans cette position en au moins un point latéral ou arrière de ce sac ces sangles 3 sont alors rétractables, comme pour la réalisation précitée selon la figure 4. Bien entendu, ces dispositions peuvent être adoptées pour toutes les formes de réalisation conformes à la présente invention.This belt 3 can also be permanently fixed to the bag, as in FIG. 4, but then the bag 1 and itself are provided, like the embodiment according to this FIG. 4, with a quick coupler device respectively conjugates 10, for example with "velvet and hooks", which allow the straps 3 to be folded over the back of the bag and to fix them in this position at at least one lateral or rear point of this bag, these straps 3 are then retractable, as for the abovementioned embodiment according to FIG. 4. Of course, these provisions can be adopted for all the embodiments in accordance with the present invention.

Les figures 9 à 12 illustrent un mode de réalisation qui se différencie de celui selon les figures 5 à 8 simplement par le fait que le manchon rapporté 19 est ici simplement remplacé par deux mousquetons 17 dans lesquels on fait passer la partie arrière de la ceinture 5 du harnais d'escalade 4.Figures 9 to 12 illustrate an embodiment which differs from that according to Figures 5 to 8 simply by the fact that the insert sleeve 19 is here simply replaced by two carabiners 17 in which the rear part of the belt 5 is passed climbing harness 4.

La figure 13 représente un exemple de réalisation pour lequel deux courtes lanières élastiques 24, chacune à extrémité libre, sont fixées de chaque côté du sac 1 et vers l'arrière de celui-ci comme représenté, ces lanières élastiques 24 se terminant chacune par un mousqueton 25 qui est destiné à recevoir la ceinture 5 du harnais 4.FIG. 13 shows an exemplary embodiment for which two short elastic straps 24, each with a free end, are fixed on each side of the bag 1 and towards the rear of the latter as shown, these elastic straps 24 each ending in a carabiner 25 which is intended to receive the belt 5 of the harness 4.

Les deux lanières élastiques 24 sont prévues très courtes : il faut donc les tendre pour pouvoir passer la ceinture 5 dans chaque mousqueton 25, ce qui vient donc comme précédemment solidariser fermement le sac 1 et la ceinture 5 du harnais 4.The two elastic straps 24 are provided very short: they must therefore be tightened in order to be able to pass the belt 5 through each carabiner 25, which therefore comes, as previously, firmly securing the bag 1 and the belt 5 of the harness 4.

En variante, les lanières élastiques 24 pourraient être remplacées par de classiques systèmes à enrouleurs munis d'un ressort de rappel.Alternatively, the elastic straps 24 could be replaced by conventional reel systems provided with a return spring.

En variante aussi, les lanières 24 pourraient ne pas être élastiques mais être pourvues de longueur réglable, par exemple par glissement dans deux anneaux de serrage classiques et fixés sur le sac 1 au même endroit que sont fixées les lanières élastiques 24.Alternatively also, the straps 24 could not be elastic but be provided with adjustable length, for example by sliding in two conventional clamping rings and fixed on the bag 1 in the same place as the elastic straps 24 are fixed.

Enfin, la figure 14 illustre une variante de la réalisation selon la figure 4, pour laquelle les attaches rapides conjuguées 17A,18A et 17B,18B des deux demi-manchons 19A,19B sont prévues, comme représenté, latéralement et en direction horizontale aussi bien sur le demi-manchon 19A ou 19B que sur la base du sac 1. Dans un tel cas, les demi-manchons 19A et 19B n'emprisonnent pas la partie arrière de la ceinture abdominale 5 du harnais 4, mais ses parties latérales, à peu près au niveau des deux flancs de l'utilisateur.Finally, FIG. 14 illustrates a variant of the embodiment according to FIG. 4, for which the combined quick couplers 17A, 18A and 17B, 18B of the two half-sleeves 19A, 19B are provided, as shown, laterally and in horizontal direction as well on the half-sleeve 19A or 19B as on the base of the bag 1. In such a case, the half-sleeves 19A and 19B do not trap the rear part of the abdominal belt 5 of the harness 4, but its lateral parts, roughly at the level of the user's two flanks.

Comme il va de soi, l'invention n'est pas limitée aux quelques exemples de réalisation qui viennent ainsi d'être décrits, et bien d ' autres variantes sont encore envisageables sans sortir de son cadre.It goes without saying that the invention is not limited to the few exemplary embodiments which have just been described, and many other variants can still be envisaged without departing from its scope.

C'est ainsi par exemple que, comme c'est déjà le cas pour la figure 4, les divers anneaux et mousquetons de solidarisation de la ceinture du harnais et de la base de la face dorsale avant du sac, pourraient être remplacés par des fermetures rapides en matière plastique, identiques ou semblables à la fermeture rapide 26,27 de la figure 1, ou même par des éléments équivalents mais réalisés en tissu et non pas en métal ou en matière plastique.Thus, for example, as is already the case for FIG. 4, the various rings and carabiners for securing the harness belt and the base of the front dorsal side of the bag could be replaced by closures. fast plastic, identical or similar to the fast closure 26,27 of Figure 1, or even by equivalent elements but made of fabric and not of metal or plastic.

C'est ainsi aussi que le harnais d'escalade précité pourrait être remplacé par une simple ceinture abdominale.This is also how the aforementioned climbing harness could be replaced by a simple lap belt.

C'est ainsi enfin que, dans le cas d'un sac à dos à armature indépendante, du genre "claie de portage", les différents moyens de solidarisation conformes à l'invention peuvent être solidaires de cette armature indépendante et non pas du sac proprement dit.Finally, this is how, in the case of a backpack with an independent frame, of the "portage rack" type, the various securing means in accordance with the invention can be integral with this independent frame and not with the bag. well said.
