Description

L'invention concerne un sac de portage comportant des moyens de compression qui permettent de réduire le volume du sac pour améliorer la stabilité lors du portage lorsque le sac n'est pas entièrement rempli.The invention relates to a carrying bag comprising compression means which reduce the volume of the bag to improve stability during carrying when the bag is not fully filled.

Les moyens de compression sont généralement réalisés sous la forme de lanières de longueur réglable qui sont fixées par leurs deux extrémités sur une paroi souple du sac, généralement sur les bords avant et arrière d'une paroi latérale du sac. Eventuellement, une telle lanière de compression peut passer par-dessus une poche latérale montée sur la face latérale du sac.The compression means are generally produced in the form of strips of adjustable length which are fixed by their two ends on a flexible wall of the bag, generally on the front and rear edges of a side wall of the bag. Optionally, a such a compression strap can pass over a side pocket mounted on the face side of the bag.

En raccourcissant la longueur de la sangle de compression, on rapproche les deux points de la paroi souple du sac sur lesquels la lanière est fixée, ce qui réduit le volume et l'encombrement du sac. Bien sûr, on prévoit généralement plusieurs lanières de compression par sac, les lanières étant réparties de chaque côté du sac et le long de la hauteur du sac.By shortening the length of the compression strap, we bring the two points closer together. the flexible wall of the bag on which the strap is fixed, which reduces the volume and the size of the bag. Of course, we usually provide several compression straps per bag, the straps being distributed on each side of the bag and along the height of the bag.

Ce mode de réalisation connu des moyens de compression présente l'inconvénient principal d'être ponctuel, c'est-à-dire de mal répartir la compression sur la hauteur du sac, sauf à disposer de nombreuses sangles sur toute la hauteur du sac, ce qui engendre des coûts supplémentaires, et ce qui oblige à de nombreuses manipulations pour comprimer ou dilater le sac. De plus, cet art antérieur manque de caractère esthétique lorsque le sac est partiellement ou entièrement comprimé. En effet, la paroi souple sur laquelle sont fixées les deux extrémités de la lanière de compression se trouve alors repliée sur elle-même en formant des bourrelets irréguliers et peu esthétiques. De plus, ce système permet certes de bien comprimé le sac au niveau des lanières, mais, entre deux lanières, le sac peut présenter des boursouflures qui sont non seulement disgracieuses mais qui peuvent aussi former des surfaces susceptibles de s'accrocher à des obstacles tels que des branches ou des rochers.This known embodiment of the compression means has the drawback main to be punctual, that is to say to distribute the compression badly over the height of the bag, except to have many straps over the entire height of the bag, which generates costs additional, and which requires numerous manipulations to compress or expand the bag. In addition, this prior art lacks aesthetic character when the bag is partially or fully compressed. Indeed, the flexible wall on which the two ends are fixed of the compression strap is then folded back on itself, forming beads irregular and unsightly. In addition, this system certainly allows the bag to be well compressed at level of the straps, but, between two straps, the bag may have blisters which are not only unsightly but which can also form surfaces likely to cling to obstacles such as branches or rocks.

L'invention a donc pour but de proposer un sac munis d'un système de compression perfectionné qui soit à la fois plus efficace, plus sûr et plus esthétique.The invention therefore aims to provide a bag with a compression system which is more efficient, safer and more aesthetic.

Dans ce but, l'invention propose un sac de portage, du type dans lequel un compartiment principal comporte une paroi arrière qui est munie de moyens de portage et une paroi avant qui est reliée à la paroi arrière par des parois latérales flexibles, du type dans lequel une poche, délimitée par au moins un premier panneau flexible distinct des parois du compartiment principal, est montée sur une paroi latérale du compartiment principal, et du type comportant un moyen de compression du sac de longueur réglable, caractérisé en ce que le moyen de compression de longueur réglable est fixé par une première extrémité sur le premier panneau de la poche de manière à exercer sur le premier panneau un effort de traction, en ce que la poche comporte une ouverture qui est agencée sur un second panneau de la poche, le second panneau étant distinct des parois du compartiment principal, et ne subissant pas les efforts de traction imposés par le moyen de compression. To this end, the invention provides a carrying bag, of the type in which a compartment main comprises a rear wall which is provided with carrying means and a front wall which is connected to the rear wall by flexible side walls, of the type in which a pocket, delimited by at least one first flexible panel separate from the walls of the compartment main, is mounted on a side wall of the main compartment, and of the type comprising a means of compressing the bag of adjustable length, characterized in that the means of compression of adjustable length is fixed by a first end on the first panel of the pocket so as to exert on the first panel a tensile force, in that the pocket has an opening which is arranged on a second pocket panel, the second panel being separate from the walls of the main compartment, and not subjected to the efforts of traction imposed by the compression means.

Other characteristics and advantages of the invention will appear on reading the description which follows for a better understanding of which one will advantageously refer to the appended drawings in which:
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view of a bag according to the invention;
  • FIGS. 2, 3, and 4 are diagrammatic views in section through a horizontal plane illustrating the bag of FIG. 1 when, respectively, the bag and the bag are full, the bag is full and the bag is empty or little filled, the bag and the pocket are empty or little filled;

On a illustré sur la figure 1 un sac de portage 10 de type sac à dos qui comporte, sur une paroi arrière 12 destinée à venir au contact du dos de l'utilisateur, des moyens de portage réalisés sous la forme d'une paire de bretelles 14 permettant de porter le sac sur les épaules et d'une ceinture abdominale 16 permettant de répartir une partie du poids du sac au niveau du bassin de l'utilisateur.Illustrated in Figure 1 a carrying bag 10 of the backpack type which comprises, on a rear wall 12 intended to come into contact with the user's back, carrying means made in the form of a pair of suspenders 14 allowing the bag to be carried on the shoulders and an abdominal belt 16 allowing a portion of the weight of the bag to be distributed at the level of the user pool.

Pour une plus grande commodité de la description, on considèrera dans la suite que le sac 10 comporte un compartiment principal 18 de forme sensiblement parallélépipédique, même si dans la réalité, la forme de ce compartiment est plus complexe. De même, en plus de la convention selon laquelle la face arrière est celle qui est destinée à venir contre le dos de l'utilisateur, on se référera aux notions de haut et de bas telles qu'elles s'appliquent à un sac à dos lorsqu'il est porté de manière usuelle par l'utilisateur. On considèrera donc que le compartiment principal 18 présente, à l'opposé de sa face arrière 12, une paroi avant 20 qui est réunie à la paroi arrière 12 par deux parois latérales 22. Le compartiment principal 18 est donc délimité par des parois qui sont de préférence réalisées en un matériau souple, par exemple un tissu. La paroi arrière 12 peut comporter une structure de renfort (non représentée sur les figures).For greater convenience of description, we will consider below that the bag 10 comprises a main compartment 18 of substantially parallelepiped shape, even if in reality, the shape of this compartment is more complex. Similarly, in addition to the convention according to which the rear face is that which is intended to come against the back of the user, we will refer to the concepts of top and bottom as they apply to a bag back when worn in the usual way by the user. We will therefore consider that the main compartment 18 has, opposite its rear face 12, a front wall 20 which is joined to the rear wall 12 by two side walls 22. The main compartment 18 is therefore delimited by walls which are preferably made of a flexible material, by example a fabric. The rear wall 12 may include a reinforcing structure (not shown in the figures).

Le compartiment 18 est refermé à sa partie inférieure, par exemple par un fond fixe, et à sa partie supérieure, en l'occurrence par un rabat 24.The compartment 18 is closed at its lower part, for example by a fixed bottom, and at its upper part, in this case by a flap 24.

Le sac à dos 10 comporte aussi deux poches latérales 26 qui sont disposées à l'extérieur du compartiment principal 18, sensiblement sur les faces latérales de celui-ci.The backpack 10 also has two side pockets 26 which are arranged outside the main compartment 18, substantially on the lateral faces thereof.

Comme on peut le voir plus particulièrement sur les figures 2 à 4, chaque poche 26 est donc délimitée transversalement vers l'intérieur par la paroi latérale 22 correspondante du compartiment principal 18. Plus précisément, on peut voir que cette paroi latérale 22 se compose d'un bandeau arrière 28 qui s'étend sensiblement sur toute la hauteur du sac et d'un bandeau avant 30 qui s'étend lui aussi sur toute la hauteur du sac et qui présente un bord avant courbe 32. Du fait de la courbure de ce bord avant 32, on peut voir sur la figure 1 que le bandeau avant 30 de la face latérale 22 du sac empiète en partie sur la face avant 20, au moins dans sa partie inférieure.As can be seen more particularly in FIGS. 2 to 4, each pocket 26 is therefore delimited transversely inwards by the corresponding side wall 22 of the main compartment 18. More precisely, it can be seen that this side wall 22 is consists of a rear strip 28 which extends substantially over the entire height of the bag and a front strip 30 which also extends over the entire height of the bag and which has a front edge curve 32. Due to the curvature of this front edge 32, it can be seen in FIG. 1 that the front strip 30 of the side face 22 of the bag partially encroaches on the front face 20, at least in its lower part.

Comme on peut le voir sur la figure 2 notamment, chaque poche 26 est délimitée vers l'extérieur par deux panneaux qui lui sont propres, à savoir un premier panneau, le panneau externe 34 et un second panneau, le panneau interne 36, qui s'étendent sur une partie seulement de la hauteur du sac.As can be seen in FIG. 2 in particular, each pocket 26 is delimited towards the exterior by two panels which are specific to it, namely a first panel, the panel outer 34 and a second panel, the inner panel 36, which extend over a portion only the height of the bag.

Dans l'exemple de réalisation des figures 1 à 7, le panneau externe 34 comporte un bord fixe qui est dans ce cas le bord avant et qui suit le bord avant 32 du bandeau avant 30. Le bord fixe est cousu avec ce dernier sur le bord latéral correspondant de la paroi avant 20 du compartiment principal. Le panneau externe 34 présente une largeur sensiblement équivalente à celle du bandeau avant 30 de sorte que leurs bords arrières coïncident sensiblement lorsque le panneau externe 34 est plaqué contre la face latérale. Cependant, le panneau externe 34 et le bandeau avant 30 ne sont pas liés l'un à l'autre au niveau de leur bord arrière.In the embodiment of Figures 1 to 7, the outer panel 34 has an edge fixed which is in this case the front edge and which follows the front edge 32 of the front strip 30. The edge fixed is sewn with the latter on the corresponding lateral edge of the front wall 20 of the main compartment. The external panel 34 has a substantially equivalent width to that of the front strip 30 so that their rear edges substantially coincide when the outer panel 34 is pressed against the side face. However, the outer panel 34 and the front strip 30 are not linked to each other at their rear edge.

Le panneau interne 36 de la poche comporte un bord arrière qui correspond sensiblement au bord arrière du panneau avant 30 et qui est assemblé avec ce dernier sur le bord avant du bandeau arrière 28 de la face latérale 22 du compartiment principal par une couture 38. Le panneau externe 34 et le panneau interne 36 de la poche sont par ailleurs assemblés l'un à l'autre par leurs bords verticaux libres 39. Les panneaux externe 34 et interne 36 de la poche sont par ailleurs cousus par une partie de leurs bords supérieurs et inférieurs respectifs sur la face latérale du compartiment principal de manière à refermer la poche vers le haut et vers le bas. Toutefois, la largeur développée des deux panneaux 34, 36 de la poche est supérieure à la largeur développée du bandeau avant 30, de sorte que les bords supérieurs et inférieurs des panneaux 34, 36 ne sont pas cousus sur toute leur longueur contre la face latérale, ce qui permet à leurs bords libres 39 (respectivement arrière et avant) d'être libres par rapport à la paroi latérale 22 du compartiment principal. Ainsi, comme cela est illustré sur la figure 2, les panneaux peuvent, en plus de leur souplesse, se décoller de la face latérale 22 pour donner du volume à la poche 26, ceci sans qu'il ne soit prévu de panneaux d'épaisseur aux extrémités supérieures et inférieures de la poche. Toutefois, de tels panneaux pourraient être utilisés dans le cadre de l'invention.The internal panel 36 of the pocket has a rear edge which corresponds substantially at the rear edge of the front panel 30 and which is assembled with the latter on the front edge of the rear strip 28 of the side face 22 of the main compartment by a seam 38. The external panel 34 and the internal panel 36 of the pocket are also assembled one by one the other by their free vertical edges 39. The external 34 and internal 36 panels of the pocket are also sewn by part of their respective upper and lower edges on the side of the main compartment so as to close the pocket upwards and towards the low. However, the developed width of the two panels 34, 36 of the pocket is greater than the developed width of the front strip 30, so that the upper and lower edges of the panels 34, 36 are not sewn over their entire length against the side face, which allows their free edges 39 (rear and front respectively) to be free relative to the side wall 22 of the main compartment. Thus, as illustrated in FIG. 2, the panels can, in addition to their flexibility, peel off from the side face 22 to give volume in pocket 26, this without the provision of thick panels at the ends upper and lower pocket. However, such panels could be used in the scope of the invention.

Comme on peut le voir sur les figures 2 à 4, le panneau interne 36 de la poche présente un pli vertical 41 le long duquel le panneau interne se replie en deux, vers l'intérieur de la poche, c'est-à-dire vers l'avant, lorsque le panneau externe 34 est plaqué contre la face latérale 20 du compartiment principal. Le panneau interne 36 pourrait aussi être réalisé en deux morceaux qui seraient par exemple reliés au niveau d'une couture agencée à la place du pli.As can be seen in Figures 2 to 4, the inner panel 36 of the pocket has a vertical fold 41 along which the internal panel folds in two, towards the inside of the pocket, that is to say towards the front, when the external panel 34 is pressed against the lateral face 20 of the main compartment. The internal panel 36 could also be produced in two pieces which would for example be connected at a seam arranged in place of the fold.

La poche 26 est munie d'une ouverture qui, selon l'invention, est aménagée dans le panneau interne 36, par exemple sous la forme d'une fermeture à glissière 40 d'orientation verticale. De cette manière, l'ouverture de la poche est dissimulée lorsque la poche est vide et que le panneau externe 34 est rabattu contre la paroi latérale 22 du compartiment principal, comme cela est illustré aux figures 3 et 4.The pocket 26 is provided with an opening which, according to the invention, is arranged in the internal panel 36, for example in the form of an orientation zipper 40 vertical. In this way, the pocket opening is concealed when the pocket is empty and that the outer panel 34 is folded back against the side wall 22 of the main compartment, as illustrated in Figures 3 and 4.

Avantageusement, le sac comporte des moyens de compression 42 qui permettent de réduire le volume du sac lorsqu'il n'est pas entièrement rempli. Selon l'invention, ces moyens de compression sont des éléments de longueur réglable, en l'occurrence des sangles 42 disposées à divers endroits du sac, dont une extrémité est fixée sur le panneau externe 34 de la poche 26. L'autre extrémité de la sangle 42 est fixée par exemple sur le compartiment principal. Dans les exemples illustrés, on a prévu deux sangles de compression 42 de chaque côté du sac, chaque poche 26 étant ainsi munie d'une sangle de compression à proximité de son extrémité supérieure et d'une sangle à proximité de son extrémité inférieure.Advantageously, the bag includes compression means 42 which make it possible to reduce the volume of the bag when it is not completely filled. According to the invention, these means compression elements are elements of adjustable length, in this case straps 42 arranged in various places of the bag, one end of which is fixed to the external panel 34 of the pocket 26. The other end of the strap 42 is fixed for example on the compartment main. In the examples illustrated, two compression straps 42 are provided for each side of the bag, each pocket 26 thus being provided with a compression strap near its upper end and a strap near its lower end.

Dans le premier mode de réalisation illustré aux figures 1 à 6, le point de fixation des deux sangles 42 de compression sur le compartiment principal 18 est agencé en arrière du bord arrière du panneau externe 34 de la poche et l'autre extrémité de chacune des deux sangles est fixée au voisinage du bord arrière libre 39 de ce panneau 34. Par exemple, la sangle peut être fixée, à l'arrière, au niveau du raccordement entre la face latérale 22 et la face arrière 12 du compartiment principal 18. De la sorte, la sangle de compression, lorsqu'elle est raccourcie, tend à exercer sur le panneau externe 34 une force dirigée sensiblement vers l'arrière.In the first embodiment illustrated in Figures 1 to 6, the attachment point of the two compression straps 42 on the main compartment 18 is arranged behind the edge back of the outer panel 34 of the pocket and the other end of each of the two straps is fixed in the vicinity of the free rear edge 39 of this panel 34. For example, the strap can be fixed, at the rear, at the connection between the lateral face 22 and the rear face 12 of the main compartment 18. In this way, the compression strap, when shortened, tends to exert on the external panel 34 a force directed substantially backwards.

Différents modes de réglage de la longueur de la sangle peuvent être prévus pour peu qu'ils permettent de faire varier la distance séparant les deux extrémités de celle-ci. Comme on peut le voir à la figure 6, le système de réglage de longueur peut par exemple être associé à un système d'attache rapide permettant de séparer la sangle en deux tronçons, ceci afin de permettre au panneau externe 34 d'être écarté plus facilement vers l'extérieur, soit pour obtenir un volume maximal de la poche 26, soit pour faciliter l'accès à l'ouverture 40.Different modes of adjusting the length of the strap can be provided as long as they allow to vary the distance separating the two ends thereof. As we can see it in figure 6, the length adjustment system can for example be associated with a quick attachment system allowing the strap to be separated into two sections, in order to allow the outer panel 34 to be spread more easily towards the outside, either to obtain a maximum volume of the pocket 26, that is to facilitate access to the opening 40.

Dans l'exemple de la figure 6, la sangle 42 comporte un tronçon arrière 44, qui est fixé à l'arrière du compartiment principal 18 et dont l'extrémité libre porte une boucle fixe 46, et un tronçon avant 48 qui est fixé à proximité du bord arrière libre 39 du panneau externe 34 de la poche 26 et qui porte une boucle mobile 50. La position de la boucle mobile 50 sur le tronçon avant 48 est réglable et la boucle mobile peut s'encliqueter de manière élastique dans la boucle fixe 46 pour rendre les deux tronçons 44, 48 solidaires l'un de l'autre. Sur les figures 2 à 5, la boucle fixe est au contraire solidaire du tronçon avant tandis que la boucle mobile, dont la position sur le tronçon de sangle est réglable, est solidaire du tronçon arrière.In the example of Figure 6, the strap 42 has a rear section 44, which is fixed to the rear of the main compartment 18 and the free end of which carries a fixed loop 46, and a front section 48 which is fixed near the free rear edge 39 of the external panel 34 of the pocket 26 and which carries a movable loop 50. The position of the movable loop 50 on the section front 48 is adjustable and the movable loop can snap snugly into the fixed loop 46 to make the two sections 44, 48 integral with one another. In Figures 2 at 5, the fixed loop is on the contrary integral with the front section while the movable loop, of which the position on the strap section is adjustable, is integral with the rear section.

Comme on peut le voir de manière schématique sur la figure 2, lorsque la sangle de compression est réglée à sa longueur maximale, le compartiment principal 18 et la poche 26 présentent leur volume maximal.As can be seen schematically in Figure 2, when the strap of compression is set to its maximum length, the main compartment 18 and the pocket 26 present their maximum volume.

Lorsque l'on n'a pas besoin de la poche 26, on peut raccourcir la longueur des sangles 42 jusqu'à une position intermédiaire de manière à plaquer le panneau externe 34 de la poche 42 contre la face latérale du compartiment principal 18. Le panneau interne 36 est alors replié sous le panneau externe 34 et plaqué contre la paroi latérale 22 du compartiment principal 18. On remarque de plus que, comme cela est illustré aux figures 1 et 3, la poche 26 et son ouverture 40 sont alors invisibles depuis l'extérieur puisque le panneau externe 34 se trouve directement dans le prolongement de la face avant 20 du compartiment principal 18. Le panneau externe 34 se présente alors sous l'aspect d'un rabat.When you don't need the pocket 26, you can shorten the length of the straps 42 to an intermediate position so as to press the external panel 34 of the pocket 42 against the side face of the main compartment 18. The internal panel 36 is then folded under the external panel 34 and pressed against the side wall 22 of the main compartment 18. It is further noted that, as illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 3, the pocket 26 and its opening 40 are then invisible from the outside since the external panel 34 is located directly in the extension of the front face 20 of the main compartment 18. The external panel 34 then appears as a flap.

Lorsque l'on n'a pas besoin du volume complet du compartiment principal, on règle les sangles 42 à leur longueur minimum, comme cela est illustré à la figure 4, de telle sorte que, par traction sur le panneau externe 34 de la poche 26, on rapproche la face avant 20 du sac de sa face arrière 12. On peut voir que les faces latérales 22 du sac sont alors repliées sur elle-même mais que cela est en grande partie dissimulé par le panneau externe 34 de la poche 26.When the full volume of the main compartment is not required, the straps 42 to their minimum length, as illustrated in FIG. 4, so that, by pulling on the external panel 34 of the pocket 26, the front face 20 is brought closer to the bag its rear face 12. It can be seen that the side faces 22 of the bag are then folded back on itself but that this is largely concealed by the external panel 34 of the pocket 26.

L'invention permet donc que l'effort de compression du sac exercé par les sangles se trouve réparti par le panneau externe 34 de manière très homogène sur presque toute la hauteur du sac, au contraire encore de l'art antérieur. Cela permet notamment de conserver au sac un aspect externe « lisse » même à l'état compressé, ce qui tranche par rapport à l'art antérieur.The invention therefore allows the compression force of the bag exerted by the straps to be is distributed by the external panel 34 very homogeneously over almost the entire height of the bag, contrary to the prior art. This allows in particular to keep at bag a “smooth” external appearance even in the compressed state, which contrasts with art prior.

Dans la variante de réalisation de la figure 7, le point de fixation de la sangle 42 sur le compartiment principal est agencé non plus en arrière de la poche, mais à l'avant du sac. La sangle reste par ailleurs fixée sur le bord arrière du panneau externe 34 de la poche. Toutefois, pour assurer l'effet de compression, on a prévu un renvoi 50 agencé à l'arrière de la face latérale 22 du compartiment principal, par exemple au niveau du raccordement avec la face arrière 12. La sangle 12 est ici réalisée en un seul morceau et le système de réglage de longueur est disposé au niveau de son point de fixation sur le compartiment principal.In the alternative embodiment of Figure 7, the point of attachment of the strap 42 on the main compartment is no longer arranged behind the pocket, but at the front of the bag. The strap also remains attached to the rear edge of the outer panel 34 of the pocket. However, to ensure the compression effect, there is provided a reference 50 arranged at the rear of the face side 22 of the main compartment, for example at the connection with the face rear 12. The strap 12 is here made in one piece and the adjustment system of length is arranged at its point of attachment to the main compartment.

Avec ce mode de réalisation, on peut obtenir un effet de compression plus important encore que dans le premier cas. En effet, lorsque le point de fixation de la sangle sur la poche 26 arrive au contact du renvoi, ce qui dans le premier cas correspond à la compression maximale, on peut dans ce second cas continuer de réduire la longueur de la sangle. C'est alors le point de fixation de la sangle 42 à l'avant du compartiment qui se rapproche de la face arrière du sac. Par ce second système, on obtient donc un double effet de compression.With this embodiment, an even greater compression effect can be obtained. than in the first case. Indeed, when the point of attachment of the strap on the pocket 26 comes into contact with the return, which in the first case corresponds to the maximum compression, in this second case, we can continue to reduce the length of the strap. That's the point for fixing the strap 42 to the front of the compartment which approaches the rear face of the bag. By this second system, a double compression effect is therefore obtained.

Sur la figure 8 on a illustré une autre disposition d'une poche formant rabat de compression au sens de l'invention. Des éléments identiques ou similaires à ceux décrits précédemment y sont désignés par les mêmes chiffres de référence. On peut voir sur cette figure 8 que le panneau externe 34 de cette poche est fixé sur la paroi latérale 22 du compartiment principal 18 non plus par son bord avant mais par son bord arrière. Aussi, les sangles de compression 42 sont agencées cette fois-ci au niveau de la face avant 20 du sac et elles agissent sur le bord avant libre du panneau externe 34 pour exercer sur celui-ci un effort de traction qui est dirigé vers l'avant (et non plus vers l'arrière comme dans le cas précédent).FIG. 8 illustrates another arrangement of a pocket forming a compression flap within the meaning of the invention. Elements identical or similar to those described above y are designated by the same reference numbers. We can see in this figure 8 that the external panel 34 of this pocket is fixed to the side wall 22 of the main compartment 18 no longer by its front edge but by its rear edge. Also, the compression straps 42 are arranged this time at the front face 20 of the bag and they act on the edge free front of the external panel 34 to exert on it a tensile force which is directed forward (and no longer backward as in the previous case).

Dans la variante illustrée en trait plein, la sangle de compression est fixée par son autre extrémité sur la face avant 20 du compartiment principal 18. Dans la variante illustrée en pointillés sur la figure 8, une même sangle de longueur réglable 42' est fixée, par une première extrémité, sur le bord libre (en l'occurrence le bord) avant d'une première poche latérale et, par sa seconde extrémité, sur le bord libre (en l'occurrence le bord avant) d'une seconde poche fixée sur la face latérale opposée du sac. Dans cette variante, en modifiant la longueur de cette sangle 42', on rabat simultanément les deux poches 26 et on effectue une compression symétrique du compartiment principal 18.In the variant illustrated in solid lines, the compression strap is fixed by its other end on the front face 20 of the main compartment 18. In the variant illustrated in dotted in FIG. 8, the same adjustable length strap 42 ′ is fixed, by a first end, on the free edge (in this case the edge) before a first pocket lateral and, by its second end, on the free edge (in this case the front edge) of a second pocket attached to the opposite side of the bag. In this variant, by modifying the length of this strap 42 ′, the two pockets 26 are folded down simultaneously and a symmetrical compression of the main compartment 18.

Dans tous les modes de réalisation décrits ci-dessus, on voit que l'effort de traction qui est exercé par les sangles de compression 42, 42' s'effectue sur le panneau externe de la ou des poches, ce qui permet de comprimer à la fois le compartiment principal et les poches, cette compression s'effectuant de manière uniforme sur toute la hauteur des poches. De plus, cet effort de traction est encaissé par le panneau externe qui ne comporte pas d'ouverture. En effet, dans tous les cas, l'ouverture 40 des poches 26 est disposée sur le panneau interne 36 qui ne subit pas les forces de traction. L'ouverture 40 (et surtout son système de fermeture) ne subit pas les efforts générés par le système de compression du sac, ce qui est un gage de solidité.In all the embodiments described above, it can be seen that the tensile force which is exerted by the compression straps 42, 42 'takes place on the external panel of the one or more pockets, which makes it possible to compress both the main compartment and the pockets, this compression takes place uniformly over the entire height of the pockets. In addition, this tensile force is collected by the external panel which does not have an opening. In indeed, in all cases, the opening 40 of the pockets 26 is disposed on the internal panel 36 which is not subjected to tensile forces. The opening 40 (and especially its closing system) does not not undergo the forces generated by the compression system of the bag, which is a guarantee of solidity.

Sur la figure 1, on peut voir que le panneau externe 34 comporte un soufflet ou repli d'aisance 52 qui permet, en se dépliant, d'augmenter le volume de la poche 26. Avantageusement, ce soufflet 52 est orienté selon la direction de l'effort de traction de la sangle de compression 42 sur la poche 26, c'est-à-dire qu'il est conçu pour se déployer selon une direction sensiblement perpendiculaire à la direction de l'effort de traction. De la sorte, même lorsque cet effet de traction s'exerce sur la poche, le soufflet d'aisance 52 n'en est pas affecté et il ne se déploie pas, sauf bien entendu s'il y est forcé par des objets contenus dans la poche. De préférence, la sangle de compression 42 est positionnée dans l'alignement de la direction principale du soufflet d'aisance 52 afin d'exercer un effort de traction symétrique sur les deux bords du soufflet d'aisance 52.In Figure 1, we can see that the outer panel 34 has a bellows or fold 52 which allows, by unfolding, to increase the volume of the pocket 26. Advantageously, this bellows 52 is oriented in the direction of the tensile force of the compression strap 42 on the pocket 26, that is to say it is designed to deploy according to a direction substantially perpendicular to the direction of the tensile force. In this way, even when this pulling effect is exerted on the pocket, the air bellows 52 is not affected and it does not deploy, except of course if it is forced to do so by objects contained in the poached. Preferably, the compression strap 42 is positioned in alignment with the main direction of the air bellows 52 in order to exert a symmetrical tensile force on the two edges of the air bellows 52.
