Description

Sac à dos avec système de roulage et traction intégréBackpack with integrated rolling and traction system
La présente invention concerne des bagages comportant une poignée rétractable rigide et aptes à être tractés sur des roulettes. L'invention se rapporte plus particulièrement à un sac à dos.The present invention relates to luggage comprising a rigid retractable handle and capable of being towed on casters. The invention relates more particularly to a backpack.
On connaît plusieurs types de sacs à dos munis de roulettes et d'une poignée rétractable. Ce genre de bagages à paroi en matériau souple s'est avéré particulièrement pratique et connaît ces dernières années un succès grandissant. Ces bagages sont constitués d'un sac adapté à un système de roulage prévu pour des valises, ce qui conduit à un sac relativement lourd et encombrant.Several types of backpacks are known which are provided with wheels and a retractable handle. This type of baggage with a wall made of flexible material has proven to be particularly practical and has enjoyed increasing success in recent years. This baggage consists of a bag suitable for a rolling system provided for suitcases, which leads to a relatively heavy and bulky bag.
On connaît en effet déjà des valises ou sacs à dos à roulettes dérivant des valises roulantes du type "trolley". Il s'agit en fait d'utiliser un système télescopique de valise de cabine (dit "trolley") sur lequel un sac à dos a été adapté. Ainsi, les sacs à dos à roulettes de l'art antérieur comportent une poignée rétractable, généralement formée par deux tubes coulissants, le long de la face "arrière" c'est à dire celle qui est destinée à être en contact avec le dos de l'utilisateur. Cette disposition présente un désavantage du point de vue du comfort , le système télescopique de la poignée étant rigide. Un important rembourrage supplémentaire est nécessaire pour éviter le contact direct du dos avec cet élément longitudinal dur. De plus le système de roulage, prévu à l'origine pour être monté sur une valise, est lourd, encombrant et disproportionné. Le sac à dos est monté à la place prévue pour la valise. Les roulettes sont extérieures et situées à la base de ladite face arrière et sont ainsi, lorsque le bagage est utilisé comme un sac à dos, de nature à salir les vêtements au dos de l'utilisateur étant donné que ces' roulettes ont été en contact avec le trottoir et des détritus, et éventuellement même avec des déjections de chiens. La présence d'un rabat apte à envelopper les roulettes ne constitue qu'un pis-aller car pour reprendre l'utilisation des roulettes, la face du rabat éventuellement souillée est exposée et peut être en contact avec l'utilisateur.There are already known suitcases or backpacks with wheels derived from rolling suitcases of the "trolley" type. In fact, this involves using a telescopic cabin suitcase system (known as a "trolley") on which a backpack has been adapted. Thus, wheeled backpacks of the prior art comprise a retractable handle, generally formed by two sliding tubes, along the "rear" face, that is to say that which is intended to be in contact with the back of the user. This arrangement has a disadvantage from the comfort point of view, the telescopic handle system being rigid. Significant additional padding is required to avoid direct back contact with this hard longitudinal member. In addition, the rolling system, originally intended to be mounted on a suitcase, is heavy, bulky and disproportionate. The backpack is mounted in the place provided for the suitcase. The rollers are external and located at the base of said rear face and are thus, when the luggage is used as a backpack, of a nature to soil the clothes on the back of the user since these ' rollers have been in contact with the sidewalk and trash, and possibly even with dog excrement. The presence of a flap capable of enveloping the rollers constitutes only a last resort because to resume the use of the rollers, the face of the flap which may be soiled is exposed and can be in contact with the user.
On recherche en conséquence toujours une augmentation de l'aspect pratique et du comfort d'utilisation de ces bagages roulants, en particulier des sacs à dos, tout en assurant une diminution du poids sans entraver la solidité.Consequently, an increase is always sought in the practicality and in the comfort of use of this rolling luggage, in particular backpacks, while ensuring a reduction in weight without hampering solidity.
La présente invention vise à remédier aux inconvénients susmentionnés et à améliorer les qualités de comfort d'utilisation et de légèreté. Le sac à dos n'est plus adapté à un système de roulage, ce dernier étant au contraire adapté à la forme et à l'utilisation du sac à dos .The present invention aims to remedy the aforementioned drawbacks and to improve the qualities of comfort of use and lightness. The backpack is no longer suitable for a rolling system, the latter being on the contrary adapted to the shape and use of the backpack.
Dans ce but l'invention propose principalement un sac à dos aux parois en matériau souple, par exemple en tissu, comportant une poignée rétractable par coulissement de son manche, et une plaque intérieure de fond incurvée, l'incurvation de cette plaque semi-rigide étant imposée par la solidarisation de cette plaque, p.e. par rivetage, à un segment de profil incurvé s ' étendant à partir de la base du logement télescopique, intérieur au bagage, de la poignée coulissante. La plaque semi rigide peut être une plaque en plastique, par exemple en polyéthylène avec une épaisseur variant de 1 à 5 mm.For this purpose, the invention mainly proposes a backpack with walls made of flexible material, for example fabric, comprising a retractable handle by sliding its handle, and an inner plate with a curved bottom, the curvature of this semi-rigid plate being imposed by the joining of this plate, eg by riveting, to a segment of curved profile extending from the base of the telescopic housing, inside the luggage, of the sliding handle. The semi-rigid plate can be a plastic plate, for example polyethylene with a thickness varying from 1 to 5 mm.
Les parois du bagage en matériau souple seront de préférence prévues pour former un bagage de forme approximativement parallélipipédique rectangle.The walls of the baggage of flexible material will preferably be provided to form a bag of approximately rectangular parallelepiped shape.
Au lieu d'une poignée à une tige, on peut également prévoir une poignée en U télescopique, comportant deux tiges coulissant dans deux logements parallèles. Chaque logement est solidarisé à la plaque incurvée inférieure et à la plaque supérieure comme pour le bagage à une seule tige.Instead of a handle with a rod, one can also provide a telescopic U-shaped handle, comprising two rods sliding in two parallel housings. Each accommodation is secured to the lower curved plate and to the upper plate as for luggage with a single rod.
Selon une variante, la plaque de fond peut être une plaque moulée plus rigide, par exemple en ABS ou polypropylène, dont l'incurvation est formée d'origine. Dans ce cas, la base du logement télescopique ne doit pas nécessairement être incurvée et/ou aplatie et peut être droite si on prévoit un moyen de fixation solide et rigide sur la partie relevée de la plaque de fond (p.e. bride) .According to a variant, the bottom plate can be a more rigid molded plate, for example made of ABS or polypropylene, the curvature of which is originally formed. In this case, the base of the telescopic housing does not necessarily have to be curved and / or flattened and can be straight if a solid and rigid fixing means is provided on the raised part of the bottom plate (e.g. flange).
Dans le cas d'une plaque semi-rigide, l'incurvation est également obtenue, en particulier au niveau de ses parties latérales, par deux éléments en arceaux de support d'axe de roues latérales faisant saillie hors de la partie incurvée de ladite plaque. Le système de poignée télescopique est prévu adjacent et intérieur à la face opposée à celle qui est destinée à être en contact avec le dos, c'est à dire à celle pourvue de sangles pour l'utilisation comme sac à dos. Le comfort en est ainsi grandement amélioré.In the case of a semi-rigid plate, the curvature is also obtained, in particular at the level of its lateral parts, by two arched elements for the support of the axis of lateral wheels protruding from the curved part of said plate. . The telescopic handle system is provided adjacent and inside the face opposite to that which is intended to be in contact with the back, that is to say that provided with straps for use as a backpack. Comfort is thus greatly improved.
Avantageusement, le bord de la plaque inférieure opposé à la base du logement télescopique présente un profil horizontal courbé concave. Ce profil, en contact avec le dos, épouse davantage le profil transversal du dos et augmente ainsi le confort de l'utilisateur et/ou évite une usure prématurée d'un coussin de protection prévu sur la face en contact avec le dos.Advantageously, the edge of the lower plate opposite the base of the telescopic housing has a concave curved horizontal profile. This profile, in contact with the back, more closely follows the transverse profile of the back and thus increases the comfort of the user and / or avoids premature wear of a protective cushion provided on the face in contact with the back.
En outre on peut prévoir un bourrelet s ' adaptant à la tranche présentée par ledit bord, par exemple sous la forme d'un manchon de mousse fendu longitudinalement .In addition one can provide a bead adapting to the edge presented by said edge, for example in the form of a foam sleeve split longitudinally.
Le manche de la poignée rétractable peut être constitué d'un tube creux de section carrée, rectangulaire ou polygonale, par exemple en aluminium, mais peut aussi constituer une poignée en U, auquel cas la section peut être ronde. Le manche sera cependant avantageusement, surtout pour les bagages de petites dimensions, constitué d'un tube télescopique simple ou double coulissant de manière connue dans un logement rigide prévu à cet effet.The handle of the retractable handle may consist of a hollow tube of square, rectangular or polygonal section, for example of aluminum, but may also constitute a U-shaped handle, in which case the section may be round. The handle will however advantageously, especially for small luggage, consisting of a single or double telescopic tube sliding in known manner in a rigid housing provided for this purpose.
Selon un aspect important de 1 ' invention on prévoit également une plaque de soutien du matériau souple (p.e. tissu) , de préférence mais pas obligatoirement de même nature que la plaque de fond incurvée, agencée à 1 ' extrémité supérieure du logement de la poignée télescopique, perpendiculairement à ce logement. Cette plaque est maintenue par un moyen de fixation, p.e. une noix de serrage prévue à cet effet sur le logement. La dimension de cette plaque peut varier, de telle manière que, selon un mode de réalisation préféré, seule une partie du matériau souple, entourant l'extrémité supérieure du logement peut être retenue. En particulier, cette plaque de soutien ne s'étendra de préférence pas sur toute la profondeur de la valise.According to an important aspect of the invention, there is also provided a support plate for the flexible material (eg fabric), preferably but not necessarily of the same nature as the curved bottom plate, arranged at the upper end of the housing of the telescopic handle. , perpendicular to this housing. This plate is held by a fixing means, eg a clamping nut provided for this purpose on the housing. The size of this plate can vary, so that, according to a preferred embodiment, only part of the flexible material, surrounding the upper end of the housing can be retained. In particular, this support plate will preferably not extend over the entire depth of the bag.
La face supérieure peut alors comprendre une plaque auxiliaire indépendante, ne servant qu'à une meilleure fixation d'une poignée de type classique. En effet, de manière classique, en plus de la poignée télescopique, des poignées supplémentaires peuvent être prévues cousues et/ou rivetées sur une ou plusieurs des faces.The upper face can then comprise an independent auxiliary plate, serving only for better fixing of a handle of conventional type. Indeed, conventionally, in addition to the telescopic handle, additional handles can be provided sewn and / or riveted on one or more of the faces.
La rigidité verticale du sac à dos en matériau souple est assurée essentiellement par le système de roulage, la plaque incurvée et le système télescopique. L'invention propose donc des bagages dont la structure rigide est essentiellement en L, ou en forme de cornière, dans la mesure ou la plaque supérieure transversale est de surface relativement réduite, ce qui favorise 1 ' empilabilité étant donné que les faces latérales et , en partie, la face supérieure peut être repliée vers 1 ' intérieur .The vertical rigidity of the flexible material backpack is mainly ensured by the rolling system, the curved plate and the telescopic system. The invention therefore provides luggage whose rigid structure is essentially L-shaped, or in the form of an angle, insofar as the transverse upper plate has a relatively small surface area, which favors stackability since the lateral faces and, in part, the upper face can be folded inwardly.
Selon un mode de réalisation, le moyen d'ouverture du sac à dos décrit ci-dessus sera une ouverture à glissière s 'étendant de la face supérieure, sur les faces latérales, de part et d'autre, de manière telle qu'une fois le sac ouvert, la partie du matériau souple supportée par la plaque supérieure est séparée de la partie du matériau souple non supportée .According to one embodiment, the opening means of the backpack described above will be a sliding opening extending from the upper face, on the lateral faces, on either side, so that a times the bag open, the part of the flexible material supported by the upper plate is separated from the part of the unsupported flexible material.
Selon une variante, une des faces comporte le long de trois côtés de son périmètre une fermeture à glissière permettant le rabattement de cette face.Alternatively, one of the faces comprises along three sides of its perimeter a zipper allowing the folding of this face.
La face ou partie de face rabattable peut comprendre une ou plusieurs poches et/ou un ou plusieurs compartiments auxiliaires .The foldable face or part of the face may include one or more pockets and / or one or more auxiliary compartments.
Dans le cas de sacs à dos de plus grandes dimensions, on peut avantageusement prévoir un renfort vertical s ' étendant sur une partie de la face adjacente au système télescopique de poignée, solidarisé à la plaque supérieure par fixation à un équerre . Selon une variante on peut prévoir un élément en cornière intégré. Un équerre n'est alors plus nécessaireIn the case of larger backpacks, it is advantageous to provide a vertical reinforcement extending over a part of the face adjacent to the telescopic handle system, secured to the upper plate by fixing to a bracket. According to a variant, an integrated angle element can be provided. A square is no longer necessary
Selon un autre mode de réalisation de l'invention, on prévoit en outre un jonc métallique en U renversé parcourant le bord supérieur et les deux bords latéraux de la face adjacente au système télescopique. Ce jonc est avantageusement intégré dans un passepoil souple dont les extrémités dépassent les branches du U et sont incurvés pour former ainsi les deux bords inférieurs latéraux.According to another embodiment of the invention, there is also provided an inverted U-shaped metal rod running through the upper edge and the two lateral edges of the face adjacent to the telescopic system. This rod is advantageously integrated in a flexible piping whose ends exceed the branches of the U and are curved to thereby form the two lateral lower edges.
Selon encore un autre mode de réalisation de l'invention, le type de bagages décrit ci-dessus peut ne pas comporter de sangles et peut constituer ainsi une valise de cabine roulante à une ou deux tiges télescopiques . Cette valise se caractérise par l'absence de faces latérales bien définies par des cadres de joncs plus rigides qui assurent, pour les autres types de valises similaires, une épaisseur à vide avec effet ressort.According to yet another embodiment of the invention, the type of luggage described above may not include straps and may thus constitute a rolling cabin suitcase with one or two telescopic rods. This suitcase is characterized by the absence of well defined lateral faces by more rigid rod frames which ensure, for other similar types of suitcases, an empty thickness with spring effect.
Dans ce cas, la face opposée au système télescopique présente de préférence une ouverture à glissière sur trois côtés du périmètre, permettant le rabattement de cette face. L'ouverture étant cerclée par un passepoil, par exemple métallique.In this case, the face opposite to the telescopic system preferably has a sliding opening on three sides of the perimeter, allowing the folding of this face. The opening being encircled by a piping, for example metallic.
Dans ce cas également, on aura avantageusement recourt à la plaque auxiliaire de support perpendiculaire à la plaque supérieure transversale, déjà mentionnée pour les sacs à dos, ainsi qu'au jonc en U renforçant la face adjacente au système télescopique.In this case also, it is advantageous to have recourse to the auxiliary support plate perpendicular to the transverse upper plate, already mentioned for the backpacks, as well as to the U-shaped rod reinforcing the face adjacent to the telescopic system.
Il est bien entendu que les parois intérieures des compartiments des bagages selon l'invention peuvent être avantageusement doublées avec une garniture en tissu, cachant la plaque de fond et le logement télescopique.It is understood that the interior walls of the luggage compartments according to the invention can be advantageously lined with a fabric covering, hiding the bottom plate and the telescopic housing.
L'invention sera mieux comprise à l'examen des dessins soumis en annexe, uniquement à titre d'exemple, dans lesquelsThe invention will be better understood on examining the drawings submitted in the appendix, by way of example only, in which

La plaque de fond 2 comprend deux ouvertures 8 pour accueillir des roulettes prévues sur des éléments en arceaux 5, à solidariser de l'extérieur par rivetage à la plaque 2. Ces arceaux contribuent ainsi à l'incurvation homogène sur toute sa largeur. On illustre également des pieds 6 du côté opposés aux roulettes. On notera que le profil de la tranche 12 de la plaque peut également être incurvé pour mieux épouser le profil du dos, lorsque la valise est utilisée comme sac à dos. La tranche étant en outre couverte d'un manchon de protection 14 fendu longitudinalement .Fig. 1 schematically shows in perspective a partially exploded view of the rigid structure of a backpack according to the invention. We recognize a rod or handle 1 and a metal housing 10 in which slides the tube or handle 1 double telescopic square or rectangular section, preferably aluminum. The lower part 11 of the housing extends in the form of a curved segment to which a semi-rigid bottom plate 2, for example made of polyethylene, is secured by riveting. This curved part extend the telescopic housing can be advantageously flattened, and can result in fact from the flattening of one end of a hollow profile with square or rectangular section. The bottom plate 2 includes two openings 8 to accommodate rollers provided on hoop elements 5, to be secured from the outside by riveting to the plate 2. These hoops thus contribute to the homogeneous curving over its entire width. Also illustrated are feet 6 on the side opposite the rollers. Note that the profile of the edge 12 of the plate can also be curved to better match the profile of the back, when the suitcase is used as a backpack. The wafer being further covered with a protective sleeve 14 split longitudinally.
Une plaque de soutien 3 de même nature que la plaque dé fond est prévue à la partie supérieure du logement 10 , fermement maintenue par un moyen de fixation, par exemple une noix de serrage 4. De préférence cette plaque de soutien ne s'étendra pas sur toute l'épaisseur de la valise afin d'éviter un contact avec la partie supérieure du dos ou avec le cou de l'utilisateur. On illustre également un renfort vertical 18, également sous la forme d'une plaque, solidarisée à la plaque de soutien supérieure 3 par fixation à un équerre 9 intermédiaire.A support plate 3 of the same kind as the bottom plate is provided at the upper part of the housing 10, firmly held by a fixing means, for example a clamping nut 4. Preferably this support plate will not extend over the entire thickness of the bag in order to avoid contact with the upper part of the back or with the user's neck. A vertical reinforcement 18 is also illustrated, also in the form of a plate, secured to the upper support plate 3 by attachment to an intermediate bracket 9.
La figure 2 est une vue en perspective du sac à dos vu du côté de la paroi adjacente à la poignée rétractable. Le mécanisme télescopique est interne au sac à dos. On distingue un compartiment avant 21 et la tirette 23 d'ouverture qui s'étend sur deux faces latérales et la face supérieure et permet en rabattant la paroi arrière d'avoir accès au compartiment principal 24. A la base de trois faces verticales, le matériau souple est doublé d'un second matériau 25 de préférence en plastique, par exemple en PVC graine, rendant la base des faces latérales 26 moins souple, en diminuant l'usure, et permettant avantageusement un nettoyage plus aisé. Les arceaux des roulettes 28 sont situés aux coins inférieurs de la face comportant le système télescopique et comportent un rebord incurvé 29 de protection du passepoil 22, épousant le bord incurvé de la plaque de fond. La plaque de support intérieure non montrée s'étend jusqu'à la tirette 23 et sert également de support à la poignée classique 30.Figure 2 is a perspective view of the backpack seen from the side of the wall adjacent to the retractable handle. The telescopic mechanism is internal to the backpack. There is a front compartment 21 and the opening pull tab 23 which extends over two lateral faces and the upper face and allows, by folding the rear wall, to have access to the main compartment 24. At the base of three vertical faces, the flexible material is lined with a second material 25 preferably in plastic, for example in seed PVC, making the base of the lateral faces 26 less flexible, reducing wear, and advantageously allowing easier cleaning. The rollers' arches 28 are located at the lower corners of the face comprising the telescopic system and have a curved edge 29 for protecting the piping 22, matching the edge curved bottom plate. The interior support plate, not shown, extends up to the pull tab 23 and also serves as a support for the conventional handle 30.
La figure 3 est une représentation d'un sac à dos similaire à celui de la figure 2 vue du côté opposé à la paroi adjacente à la poignée rétractable. On distingue les sangles 31 qui peuvent être partiellement détachées au niveau des boucles d'attache 32 et introduites dans une poche 33 prévue à cet effet. De plus un coussin 34 est prévu pour protéger davantage encore la partie inférieure du dos de l'utilisateur. La poignée 30 est fixée sur la partie rabattable avec la face opposée à celle adjacente au système télescopique, le matériau souple adjacent à cette poignée étant intérieurement renforcé par une petite plaque non illustrée.Figure 3 is a representation of a backpack similar to that of Figure 2 viewed from the side opposite the wall adjacent to the retractable handle. There are straps 31 which can be partially detached at the attachment loops 32 and introduced into a pocket 33 provided for this purpose. In addition, a cushion 34 is provided to further protect the lower part of the user's back. The handle 30 is fixed to the folding part with the face opposite to that adjacent to the telescopic system, the flexible material adjacent to this handle being internally reinforced by a small plate not shown.
La figure 4 représente une variante du sac à dos tel que représenté dans les figures 2 et 3 , plus adaptée pour un bagage de grandes dimensions. La poignée télescopique 7 comprend en effet deux tiges doublement télescopiques 1,1'. De plus, cette poignée 7 peut se rétracter jusqu'à l'intérieur du sac et être recouverte par un rabat 40 avec fermeture à glissière.Figure 4 shows a variant of the backpack as shown in Figures 2 and 3, more suitable for large luggage. The telescopic handle 7 in fact comprises two doubly telescopic rods 1,1 '. In addition, this handle 7 can retract to the inside of the bag and be covered by a flap 40 with zipper.
La figure 5a illustre une variante de l'invention dans laquelle il n'y a pas de sangles, ni de coussin dorsal, le bagage constituant ainsi une valise de cabine dépourvue de système de portage à dos. Le panneau frontal 47 est rigidifié par un jonc métallique et comporte une poche 33' correspondant à la poche 33 de la fig. 3 qui, dans ce dernier cas, est apte à recevoir des sangles détachées.FIG. 5a illustrates a variant of the invention in which there are no straps or back cushion, the luggage thus constituting a cabin suitcase devoid of a backpacking system. The front panel 47 is stiffened by a metal rod and has a pocket 33 'corresponding to the pocket 33 of FIG. 3 which, in the latter case, is capable of receiving detached straps.
On distingue, outre des éléments déjà décrits, des anneaux de fixation de bandouillère 41, 41' pour une bandouillère amovible , la limite de la plaque de support 43, fixée à l'extrémité supérieure du logement (non montrée) , une poignée supérieure 30 sur une plaque de renfort indépendante de la plaque 2 (non montrée) et une poignée latérale 44 sur une plaque de renfort 45 prévue sous le tissu, ainsi qu'un passepoil métallique 46 (jonc de métal) cerclant le périmètre de la grande face frontale rabattable 47 de la valise. La face adjacente au système télescopique comprend un compartiment de rangement auxiliaire 50.In addition to the elements already described, there are strap fixing rings 41, 41 'for a removable strap, the limit of the support plate 43, fixed to the upper end of the housing (not shown), an upper handle 30 on a reinforcement plate independent of the plate 2 (not shown) and a side handle 44 on a reinforcement plate 45 provided under the fabric, as well as a metal piping 46 (metal rod) encircling the perimeter of the large folding front face 47 of the suitcase. The face adjacent to the telescopic system comprises an auxiliary storage compartment 50.
Pour cette variante, comme pour un sac à dos, on peut prévoir un passepoil 22 qui comprend un élément métallique 50 formant jonc de rigidification, illustré à la figure 5b, en U renversé parcourant trois bords de la face adjacente au système télescopique. Ce jonc 50 est avantageusement intégré dans un passepoil souple dont les extrémités dépassent les branches du U et sont incurvées à l'intérieur de l'arceau 8, protégé par le rebord 29 pour former ainsi les deux arêtes inférieures latérales 51.For this variant, as for a backpack, it is possible to provide a piping 22 which comprises a metal element 50 forming a stiffening rod, illustrated in FIG. 5b, in an inverted U traversing three edges of the face adjacent to the telescopic system. This rod 50 is advantageously integrated in a flexible piping, the ends of which extend beyond the branches of the U and are curved inside the arch 8, protected by the flange 29, thereby forming the two lateral lower edges 51.
A la figure 5b on illustre l'assemblage du passepoil 22 et du renfort métallique 50 parcourant trois bords de la face adjacente au système télescopique. La figure 5c est un agrandissement du profil en perspective du passepoil 22 dans lequel l'élément 50 s'insère au montage. La figure 5d est une reproduction éclatée des pièces de fond de la valise. On reconnaît la plaque incurvée 2 munies de deux ouvertures 8 et solidarisée à l'extrémité incurvée 11 aplatie du logement télescopique 10 non illustré, les pieds 6 , les deux arceaux 5 à fixer par 1 ' extérieur à la plaque 2 et comprenant un rebord de protection 29 épousant l'incurvation de la plaque et formant les deux coins inférieurs de la valise, opposés aux pieds. In FIG. 5b, the assembly of the piping 22 and the metal reinforcement 50 is shown, crossing three edges of the face adjacent to the telescopic system. FIG. 5c is an enlargement of the perspective profile of the piping 22 in which the element 50 is inserted during assembly. Figure 5d is an exploded reproduction of the bottom parts of the bag. We recognize the curved plate 2 provided with two openings 8 and secured to the curved end 11 flattened of the telescopic housing 10 not shown, the feet 6, the two arches 5 to be fixed by one outside to the plate 2 and comprising a protective rim 29 conforming to the curvature of the plate and forming the two lower corners of the bag, opposite the feet.
