Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif permettant d'allonger à sa guise des poignées en bandoulière. Il est constitué de 2 poignées A et B dont la hauteur peut être variable. Un troisième élément C constitué d'une bandoulière coulisse sur les poignées A et B au moyen de 2 anneaux D et E suffisamment larges pour que le troisième élément C se déplace aisément le long des poignées A et B. Le dispositif selon l'invention est particulièrement destiné au domaine de la maroquinerie, du bagage, du sport et utilitaires. <IMAGE>

Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif pour allonger des poignées de sac ou similaire de façon à obtenir une bandoulière.
Traditionnellement, les sacs sont soit des « portés main » simples (à poignées), soit des « portés épaule » simple (à bandoulière), soit des « portés main » sur lesquels on peut fixer une bandoulière amovible pour le transformer en « porté épaule ». Dans ce troisième cas, il faut transporter la bandoulière lorsqu'elle est détachée, ou la laisser pendre. De plus, lorsqu'elle est en usage, cette bandoulière ne fait en aucun cas partie intégrante du sac et reste une pièce rapportée inesthétique.
Le dispositif selon l'invention permet de remédier à ces inconvénients. En effet, un troisième élément ,constitué d'une bandoulière, coulisse sur les 2 poignées simples du sac, ou similaire, par l'intermédiaire d'un anneau à chacune de ses extrémités (anneau qui peut être dans différentes matières, ex : métal, cuir, plexiglass®....). Lorsque le sac ou similaire est « porté main » ce troisième élément repose sur la base des poignées et épouse la forme du sac. Pour que le sac ou similaire soit « porté épaule », il faut coulisser ce troisième élément jusqu'au milieu des poignées. Le sac ou similaire opère alors une rotation d'un quart de tour, de façon à ce que ce troisième élément se place correctement sur l'épaule. La distance entre le haut de ce troisième élément et le haut du sac ou similaire est alors suffisamment augmentée pour permettre le passage à l'épaule.
Selon des modes particuliers de réalisation :
  • les poignées A et B et le troisième élément C peuvent être réalisés dans divers matériaux, qu'ils soient souples ou rigides.
  • Les 2 anneaux D et E qui permettent au troisième élément C de coulisser autour des poignées peuvent être soient complètement solidaires de ce troisième élément, soient être 2 pièces rapportées, les unes étant fixées à l'autre. Les anneaux D et E sont suffisamment larges pour permettre le déplacement aisé de l'élément C sur les 2 poignées A et B.
Les figures annexées illustrent l'invention :
  • La figure numéro 1 représente une vue de face du dispositif lorsqu'on veut porter son sac ou similaire à la main.
  • La figure numéro 2 représente une vue de profil : le sac ou similaire est tourné d'un quart de tour lorsqu'il est prêt à être porté à l'épaule.
  • En référence à ces figures, le dispositif comporte :
    • 2 poignées A et B dont la hauteur peut être variable.
    • 1 troisième élément C qui coulisse sur les poignées A et B au moyen de 2 anneaux D et E suffisamment larges pour que le troisième élément C se déplace aisément le long des poignées A et B.
    Le dispositif selon l'invention est particulièrement destiné au domaine de la maroquinerie, du bagage, du sport et utilitaires.
