Abstract

The bag handles (A,B) are lengthened by a shoulder strap (C) which slides on the handles via two rings (D,E) fixed to the strap.

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.The present invention relates to a device for extending bag handles or the like so as to obtain a shoulder strap.
Traditionally, the bags are either simple "hand-carried" (with handles), or "shoulder-worn" (shoulder), or "hand-carried" on which one can attach a removable shoulder strap to transform it into "worn shoulder ". In this third case, you must carry the shoulder strap when it is detached, or let it hang. In addition, when in use, this shoulder strap is in no way integral part of the bag and remains an unsightly patch.

Le document WO 01/78547 divulgue un sac à main selon l'état de la technique antérieure.WO 01/78547 discloses a handbag according to the state of the prior art.

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.The device according to the invention overcomes these disadvantages. Indeed, a third element, consisting of a shoulder strap, slides on the 2 simple handles of the bag, or the like, via a ring at each of its ends (ring which can be in different materials, eg metal , leather, plexiglass® ....). When the bag or the like is "hand carried" this third element rests on the base of the handles and matches the shape of the bag. In order for the bag or the like to be worn on the shoulder, this third element must be slid down to the middle of the handles. The bag or the like then operates a rotation of a quarter of a turn, so that the third element is properly placed on the shoulder. The distance between the top of this third element and the top of the bag or the like is then sufficiently increased to allow passage to the shoulder.

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.
According to particular embodiments:
  • the handles A and B and the third element C can be made of various materials, whether flexible or rigid.
  • The two rings D and E which allow the third element C to slide around the handles may be either completely integral with this third element, or be 2 inserts, one being attached to the other. The rings D and E are wide enough to allow easy movement of the element C on the 2 handles A and 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.
The attached figures illustrate the invention:
  • Figure 1 shows a front view of the device when one wants to carry his bag or similar to the hand.
  • Figure 2 shows a side view: the bag or the like is turned a quarter of a turn when ready to be worn on the shoulder.

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.
With reference to these figures, the device comprises:
  • 2 handles A and B whose height can be variable.
  • 1 third element C which slides on the handles A and B by means of 2 rings D and E sufficiently wide so that the third element C moves easily along the handles A and B.

Le dispositif selon l'invention est particulièrement destiné au domaine de la maroquinerie, du bagage, du sport et utilitaires.The device according to the invention is particularly intended for the field of leather goods, luggage, sport and utilities.
