Description

La présente invention concerne un sac du type sac à dos et plus particulièrement son système de portage constitué par deux bretelles.The present invention relates to a bag of the type backpack and more particularly its carrying system consists of two straps.

Les randonneurs et les alpinistes ou tout simplement les promeneurs utilisent généralement des sacs à dos pour porter le matériel qui leur est nécessaire. Ce type de sac, porté à l'aide de deux bretelles passant sur les épaules de l'utilisateur, est très largement répandu car très pratique surtout parce qu'il permet à celui qui le porte d'avoir les mains libres.Hikers and mountaineers or just walkers usually use backpacks to carry the material which is necessary for them. This type of bag, worn with two straps passing on the shoulders of the user, is very widespread because very practical especially because it allows the wearer to have hands free.

Les constructeurs se sont, bien entendu, efforcés de concevoir des sacs de plus en plus confortables, pratiques, légers, esthétiques et fonctionnels. Ils ont, notamment dans les sacs à dos que l'on trouve dans le commerce, amélioré le confort du portage en proposant des réglages de la longueur des bretelles.The builders have, of course, endeavored to design more and more comfortable, practical, light, aesthetic and functional. They have, especially in the backpacks that we find in the trade, improved the comfort of carrying by proposing adjustments of the length of the straps.

Toutefois, aucun sac connu ne donne entièrement satisfaction, surtout en ce qui concerne le confort et l'efficacité de l'appui des bretelles de portage sur les épaules de l'utilisateur. Pour améliorer le portage, certains sacs actuels comportent une sangle supérieure indépendante de la bretelle qui permet de tirer vers le haut la bretelle à laquelle elle est reliée. Ce type de dispositif qui est, par exemple, divulgué dans le brevet français 2 377 783, ne donne néanmoins pas satisfaction car il donne en fait sur la bretelle une traction désagréable pour le porteur.However, no known bag gives complete satisfaction, especially with regard to the comfort and effectiveness of braces support carrying on the shoulders of the user. To improve the portage, some current bags include an upper strap independent of the strap that pulls up the ramp to which it is connected. This type of device which is, for example, disclosed in the French patent 2 377 783, does not give satisfaction because it actually gives on the suspender an unpleasant pull for the wearer.

On connaít aussi par la demande de brevet FR-A-2 660 173, US-A-5 890 640, des sacs à dos dont le système de portage est constitué par une sangle large destinée à être en appui sur les épaules de l'utilisateur, prolongée par une sangle inférieure étroite de liaison. Mais selon cet art antérieur, le réglage en longueur du système de portage (bretelle plus sangle inférieure de liaison) ne se fait pas en réglant la longueur de la bretelle (sangle large d'appui), mais se fait en réglant la longueur de la sangle inférieure étroite de liaison grâce à la connexion réglable, qui est prévue.It is also known from patent application FR-A-2,660,173, US-A-5,890 640, backpacks whose carrying system is constituted by a wide strap intended to be supported on the shoulders of the user, extended by a strap lower bound. But according to this prior art, the length adjustment of the carrying system (shoulder strap plus lower link strap) is not done by adjusting the length of the shoulder strap (wide support strap), but is done in adjusting the length of the narrow lower link strap through the connection adjustable, which is provided.

La présente invention propose un perfectionnement apportant au portage de sac sur dos un confort amélioré grâce à la possibilité qu'offre le dispositif de pouvoir régler la longueur des bretelles.The present invention proposes an improvement bringing to the bag carrying on back improved comfort thanks to the possibility offered by the device to be able to adjust the length of the straps.

Ainsi, le sac à dos de l'invention est du type comportant un système de portage comprenant un système de réglage en longueur, ledit système de portage comprenant des bretelles de portage globalement constituées par une sangle large et destinées à être passées sur les épaules de l'utilisateur, tandis que les bretelles de portage sont constituées par un élément supérieur de bretelle fixé à la partie supérieure dorsale dudit sac, et un élément principal de bretelle, et est caractérisé en ce que l'extrémité libre de l'élément principal de bretelle est reliée indirectement à la partie basse dorsale du sac par l'intermédiaire d'une sangle de liaison, tandis que l'élément supérieur de bretelle est un élément indépendant de l'élément principal de bretelle (8), ce dernier étant fixé audit élément supérieur de bretelle par des moyens de fixation amovibles et réglables pour constituer un système de réglage supérieur en longueur, qui est disposé au niveau de l'appui sur les épaules de l'utilisateurThus, the backpack of the invention is of the type comprising a carrying system comprising a length adjustment system, said carrying system comprising shoulder straps overall consisting of a wide strap and intended to be passed over the shoulders of the user, while the shoulder straps are constituted by a upper strap member attached to the upper dorsal portion of said bag, and a main strap member, and is characterized in that the end free of the main sling element is indirectly connected to the lower back of the bag via a binding strap, while the upper suspender element is an element independent of the element sling (8), the latter being attached to said upper member of strap by means of removable and adjustable fastening means for constituting a higher adjustment system in length, which is arranged at the level of the support on the shoulders of the user

Selon une caractéristique complémentaire, la ou les bretelles sont constituées par un élément supérieur de bretelle et un élément principal de bretelle indépendant dudit élément supérieur de bretelle, tandis que le système de réglage en longueur est constitué par la coopération amovible et réglable entre l'élément supérieur de bretelle et l'élément principal de bretelle.According to a complementary feature, the strap or straps are consisting of an upper shoulder strap and a main element of independent strap of said upper shoulder strap member, while the length adjustment system is constituted by removable cooperation and adjustable between the upper shoulder strap and the main element of ramp.

Dans un mode d'exécution préféré, l'élément supérieur de bretelle est constitué par une portion de sangle inférieure à laquelle est fixé un rabat mobile, tandis que l'extrémité supérieure de l'élément principal de bretelle est engagée entre la portion de sangle inférieure et le rabat pour y être retenue par des moyens de fixation amovibles et réglables.In a preferred embodiment, the upper strap member is constituted by a portion of lower strap to which is attached a flap, while the upper end of the main element of strap is engaged between the lower strap portion and the flap for be retained by removable and adjustable fastening means.

Selon des caractéristiques complémentaires, les moyens de fixation sont constitués par des bandes textiles agrippantes du type commercialisé sous la Marque déposée «Velcro» constituant une attache rapide, formée par une première bande agrippante du type à velours, fixée à l'une des pièces et destinée à coopérer avec une deuxième bande agrippante du type à crochets, tandis que les bretelles comprennent des moyens de visualisation du réglage en longueur.According to additional features, the fastening means are constituted by gripping textile strips of the type marketed under the registered trademark "Velcro" constituting a quick coupler, formed by a first hook-and-loop tape of the velvet type attached to one of the parts and intended to cooperate with a second gripping band of the type hooks, while the shoulder straps include means of visualization of the length adjustment.

    • L'article de bagagerie destiné à être porté par l'utilisateur est du type sac à dos portant la référence générale (1) de plan vertical (P) de symétrie générale. Il est constitué de façon connue par une enveloppe (2) formant une enceinte (3) destinée à recevoir le contenu du sac, ladite enveloppe comprenant des moyens de portage tels que deux bretelles de portage (4a, 4b) destinées à être passées sur les épaules de l'utilisateur.The item of luggage intended to be worn by the user is type backpack bearing the general reference (1) of vertical plane (P) of general symmetry. It is constituted in known manner by an envelope (2) forming an enclosure (3) for receiving the contents of the bag, said envelope comprising carrying means such as two shoulder straps of portage (4a, 4b) to be passed on the shoulders of the user.

    L'enveloppe (2) est, par exemple, constituée par une paroi périphérique avant (5) et une paroi dorsale (6), ledit sac comprenant, par ailleurs, un fond et, par exemple, un rabat supérieur mobile permettant à l'utilisateur d'ouvrir et de fermer son sac.The envelope (2) is, for example, constituted by a wall front peripheral (5) and a back wall (6), said bag comprising, elsewhere, a bottom and, for example, a movable upper flap allowing the user to open and close his bag.

    Selon l'invention, les bretelles de portage (4a, 4b) comprennent un système de réglage supérieur en longueur (20) qui est disposé au niveau de l'appui sur les épaules de l'utilisateur, ledit réglage pouvant être fait de façon continue.According to the invention, the shoulder straps (4a, 4b) comprise a upper adjustment system in length (20) which is arranged at the of the support on the shoulders of the user, said setting being able to be made of continuous way.

    On décrira ci-après l'une des bretelles (4a) sous la référence globale (4) sachant que l'autre des bretelles (4b) est à l'identique.One of the straps (4a) below the reference will be described below. overall (4) knowing that the other straps (4b) is identical.

    Ainsi, la bretelle (4) est globalement constituée par une sangle large comprenant une portion supérieure ou élément supérieur de bretelle (7), et une portion avant (8) ou élément principal de bretelle.Thus, the strap (4) is generally constituted by a strap wide comprising an upper portion or upper member of a strap (7), and a front portion (8) or main sling element.

    Selon une caractéristique de l'invention, l'élément supérieur de bretelle (7) est un élément indépendant de l'élément principal de bretelle (8), lequel est fixé audit élément supérieur de bretelle (7) par des moyens de fixation amovibles et réglables.According to a feature of the invention, the upper element of suspender (7) is an independent element of the main sling (8) which is attached to said upper shoulder strap member (7) by means removable and adjustable fasteners.

    On a compris de ce qui précède en référence aux dessins que l'élément supérieur ou bretelle (7) est une partie de la bretelle (4) et est destiné à être disposé lors du portage directement en appui au moins sur les épaules du porteur.It is understood from the above with reference to the drawings that the upper element or shoulder strap (7) is a part of the shoulder strap (4) and is intended to be arranged during the portage directly in support at least on the shoulders of the wearer.

    L'élément principal de bretelle (8) est constitué par une sangle ou similaire dont l'extrémité supérieure (9) comprend une partie des moyens de fixation dudit élément principal à l'élément supérieur de bretelle.The main element of strap (8) is constituted by a strap or the upper end (9) comprises part of the means fixing said main element to the upper shoulder strap element.

    L'élément supérieur de bretelle (7) est constitué par une portion de sangle inférieure (10) à laquelle est fixé un rabat mobile (11). Ainsi, l'extrémité arrière (12) du rabat (11), qui est constituée par une portion de sangle est fixée, par exemple, par couture à l'extrémité arrière (13) de la portion de sangle inférieure (10).The upper sling element (7) consists of a portion of lower strap (10) to which is attached a movable flap (11). So, the rear end (12) of the flap (11), which consists of a portion of strap is secured, for example, by stitching at the rear end (13) of the lower strap portion (10).

    Pour fixer de façon amovible et réglable l'extrémité supérieure de l'élément principal de bretelle, il est prévu, d'une part, entre cet élément et le rabat, une première attache rapide (14) du type agrippante, et d'autre part, entre ce même élément et la portion de sangle inférieure, une autre deuxième attache rapide (15) du type agrippante.To removably and adjustably fix the upper end of the main element of the sling is provided, on the one hand, between this element and the flap, a first quick coupler (14) of the gripping type, and other between the same element and the lower strap portion, another second quick coupler (15) of the gripping type.

    Ainsi, l'extrémité supérieure (9) de l'élément principal de bretelle (8) peut être engagée entre la portion de sangle inférieure (10) et le rabat (11) pour y être retenue par des moyens de fixation qui sont, selon le mode préféré de réalisation, constitués par des bandes textiles agrippantes du type commercialisé sous la Marque déposée «Velcro», constituant une attache rapide formée par une première bande agrippante (14a, 15a), du type à velours, fixée à l'une des pièces et destinée à coopérer avec une deuxième bande agrippante (14b, 15b) du type à crochets. Il va de soi que tout autre moyen de fixation pourrait être utilisé comme, par exemple, des systèmes du type à pressions ou autres, tels que des boutons ou similaires.Thus, the upper end (9) of the main sling element (8) can be engaged between the lower strap portion (10) and the flap (11) to be retained by fixing means which are, depending on the mode preferred embodiment, consisting of textile strips gripping the type sold under the trademark "Velcro", constituting a quick coupler formed by a first gripping strip (14a, 15a), Velvet type, attached to one of the pieces and intended to cooperate with a second gripping strip (14b, 15b) of the hook type. It's obvious that any other means of attachment could be used as, for example, pressure type or other type systems, such as buttons or the like.

    Grâce à la fixation amovible et réglable, il est possible d'ouvrir le rabat (11) par arrachement de la première attache rapide (14), de libérer l'extrémité supérieure (9) de l'élément principal de bretelle (8) par arrachement de la deuxième attache rapide (15), puis de replacer dans une autre position relative l'extrémité supérieure (9) de l'élément principal de bretelle (8) sur la portion de sangle inférieure (10) et de refermer le rabat (11).Thanks to the removable and adjustable fixing, it is possible to open the flap (11) by tearing of the first quick coupler (14), to release the upper end (9) of the main strap member (8) by tearing off the second quick coupler (15), and then other relative position the upper end (9) of the main element of strap (8) on the lower strap portion (10) and close the flap (11).

    Par ailleurs, un passant (16) solidaire de la portion de sangle inférieure (10) peut être prévu pour former un arceau sous lequel peut être engagé l'élément principal de bretelle (8) tel que cela est illustré aux figures 2a, 2b, 2c.Moreover, a passer (16) secured to the strap portion lower section (10) can be provided to form an arch under which can be engaged the main sling element (8) as illustrated in Figures 2a, 2b, 2c.

    De façon avantageuse, sous la portion de sangle inférieure (10), il est prévu un élément de confort (17) réalisé, par exemple, par une couche de mousse formant un patin d'appui, disposée dans la zone de contact de la bretelle avec les épaules de l'utilisateur. Cette zone d'appui et de contact correspond précisément à l'élément de confort (17) de l'élément supérieur de bretelle (7) dont la longueur est déterminée et indépendante de la position de réglage choisie par l'utilisateur.Advantageously, under the lower strap portion (10), it there is provided a comfort element (17) made, for example, by a layer of foam forming a support pad, arranged in the contact zone of the shoulder strap with the user's shoulders. This area of support and contact corresponds precisely to the comfort element (17) of the upper element straps (7) whose length is determined and independent of the setting position chosen by the user.

    On notera que l'élément supérieur de bretelle (7) est fixé à la partie supérieure dorsale (18) du sac proprement dit, tandis que l'extrémité libre (19) de l'élément principal de bretelle (8) est reliée directement ou indirectement à la partie basse dorsale (200) du sac.It will be noted that the upper shoulder strap element (7) is attached to the portion dorsal upper (18) of the bag itself, while the free end (19) of the main strap member (8) is connected directly or indirectly to the lower dorsal portion (200) of the bag.

    Ajoutons que chacune des bretelles comprend des moyens de visualisation des réglages constitués par une bande (21) comprenant des marquages (22) comme, par exemple, des repères chiffrés ou des lettres ou des couleurs ou tout autre repère.Let's add that each of the suspenders includes means of viewing the settings constituted by a band (21) comprising markings (22) such as, for example, cipher marks or letters or colors or any other mark.

    On a compris que le fait de placer l'élément supérieur de bretelle (7) dans une zone où traditionnellement la bretelle est large permet, d'une part, l'utilisation d'un élément de confort (17) suffisamment large assurant ainsi un confort optimal et, d'autre part, d'utiliser des moyens de fixation des deux éléments de bretelle du type à bandes agrippantes qui, de ce fait, peuvent avoir une surface d'accrochage importante, assurant ainsi une retenue de l'élément inférieur de bretelle avec un maximum de fiabilité et de sécurité.We understood that placing the upper shoulder strap element (7) in an area where traditionally the ramp is wide allows, a on the other hand, the use of a sufficiently wide comfort element (17) ensuring thus an optimal comfort and, on the other hand, to use fastening means of the two hook-and-loop strap elements which, as a result, can have a large gripping surface, thus ensuring retaining the lower shoulder strap element with maximum reliability and of security.

    Notons que l'élément supérieur de bretelle (7) constitue l'un des éléments techniques du sac, assurant à la fois le confort de portage et le réglage de bretelles.Note that the upper shoulder piece (7) is one of the technical elements of the bag, ensuring both the wearing comfort and the strapless adjustment.

    Notons aussi que le dispositif de l'invention peut être utilisé sur tout type de bretelles comme, par exemple, les bretelles représentées sur les figures, ainsi que des bretelles du type harnais telles qu'illustrées schématiquement à la figure 5.Note also that the device of the invention can be used on any type of braces such as, for example, braces represented on the figures, as well as harness type shoulder straps as illustrated schematically in Figure 5.

    Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée aux modes de réalisation décrits et représentés à titre d'exemples, mais elle comprend aussi tous les équivalents techniques ainsi que leurs combinaisons, l'étendue de l'invention étant définie par les revendications suivantes.Of course, the invention is not limited to the modes of described and illustrated as examples, but it includes also all technical equivalents as well as their combinations, the extent of the invention being defined by the following claims.
