Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a stiffening element for a backpack and a backpack with such.
  • support and stiffening elements which serve to stiffen a backpack and in particular the back of a backpack.
  • the backpack is fastened by additional fastening elements on a frame-shaped stiffening element, for example in the form of a Kraxe.
  • stiffening elements which are preferably integrated into the backpack and in particular in the back part.
  • Such stiffening elements integrated in the backpack are usually made of metal or plastics.
  • metal is its high strength, which makes it possible to produce filigree stiffening elements.
  • metallic stiffening elements basically fulfill their function sufficiently, these metallic and often thin metal components have sharp edges and corners. The sharp edges and corners result in movement or stress that the envelope of the backpack, which usually consists of flexible fabrics, can be scoured, cut or pierced. Furthermore, there is a risk of injury to the user.
  • stiffening element made of metal only thicker and thus avoid the formation of sharp edges because in this case the stiffening element would be too heavy and too stiff due to the high specific gravity of metals. Consequently, it is necessary to round the thin corners and edges of stiffening elements by Aufkantungen so that there are no possibilities of damage to the backpack material or injury to the user. Depending on the effort that needs to be done to post-cure the stiffeners, so does the cost of production. A not to be neglected aspect is the deformability of metallic stiffening elements due to greater load. However, metallic materials do not enjoy a reputation for sustainability in resource use, especially when made of lightweight aluminum.
  • plastics or composite materials A common alternative today for the production of stiffening elements for backpacks is the use of plastics or composite materials. These materials have quite advantages over metallic stiffening elements. So they can be produced in almost any shape and have a significantly lower weight. Also plastics do not have a good reputation regarding the sustainability in the use of resources and the recyclability at the end of the life cycle of the backpack and thus the integrated stiffening element. In addition to the ecological problems, the use of plastics also entails mechanical disadvantages. A common problem with plastics is the tendency to stress cracking due to stress during use and residual stress states. The source of residual stress states lies in the production process of the plastic parts, in particular the injection molding process.
  • the high load of the backpack when carrying stems from the fact that the wearer does not move completely linearly while walking, but both horizontal and vertical accelerations occur. Due to the inertia of the load carried these accelerations cause shocks, which are comfort-reducing transmitted to the carrier. Ideally, a stiffening element absorbs these shocks by resilient movements and thus contributes significantly to the wearing comfort. However, this also means that the stiffening element is subject to constant stress. This continuous load, together with residual stress states from the production of the stiffening element, can then lead to component failure, ie to fatigue and finally to breakage of the stiffening element.
  • top or bottom in the following description of the invention are used in the manner as they are in a functional application of the subject invention, d. H. carrying a backpack by a wearer in a vertical orientation.
  • the stiffening element is made of a renewable raw material.
  • the use of renewable resources for a stiffening element of a backpack contributes to a resource-saving end product.
  • the disposal or recyclability at the end of the life cycle is significantly improved with the use of renewable resources.
  • the stiffening element is made of wood or wood products.
  • wood has a high rigidity at comparatively low density.
  • wood can permanently remove repetitive bending stress with little creep.
  • the fibers of the wood run parallel to the largest longitudinal extent of the stiffening element.
  • Another reason for the preference of wood is the easy machinability.
  • Particularly advantageous is the use of at least two, preferably a plurality of individual with wood layers that are interconnected. These are preferably permanently connected together with a suitable glue or connector. A layer number of 5 to 7 laminated wood layers has proven to be particularly advantageous.
  • the individual layers preferably have a layer thickness of 1.5 mm.
  • the stiffening element preferably has a flat rectangular cross-section. Stiffeners with a flat rectangular cross section are easier to work out, for example by sawing, from a larger workpiece of the raw material than cross sections of other dimensions. In cross-sections with other shapes, such as round or oval shape, after a first cut, another processing step, such as milling or turning, required to obtain the final shape. In the present invention of a stiffening member having a flat rectangular cross section, therefore, the production cost is lowered.
  • the individual large-area, preferably rectangular, wooden layers are first laid one above the other, with a suitable connector, in particular adhesive or glue, being introduced between the layers to be joined.
  • a suitable connector in particular adhesive or glue
  • the desired permanent connection of the individual layers and the inventive shaping takes place simultaneously in a further step by applying a flat pressing force on the layered layers, especially using a thermal component.
  • the specific shaping is realized by the use of appropriately trained press top and bottom parts of the pressing tool.
  • individual stiffening elements are then preferably separated in strips from the workpiece by means of a sawing device, before the surface treatment and sealing, including edge processing of the individual stiffening element, takes place in a last step.
  • the edge is broken with a radius of 4 mm in order to avoid damage and injury to the backpack material and the wearer.
  • the width of the stiffening element can be from one centimeter to the maximum width of the back.
  • Very wide stiffening elements can be used especially if only one stiffening element is provided for a backpack.
  • the width of the stiffening element is limited by the width of the back part.
  • Narrower stiffening elements are mainly used in backpacks which have a plurality of stiffening elements.
  • the thickness of the stiffening element is from one millimeter up to 30 millimeters.
  • the ease of processing compared to metal stiffening elements and the cross section of the reinforcing element made of renewable raw materials also makes it possible to round off edges or corners at low cost or to provide them with a phase, for example. Due to the cross-sectional dimensions, it is ensured that the material of the backpack on which the stiffening element rests is neither scoured, cut or punctured. There is also a significantly lower risk of injury for the user.
  • its mechanical properties can advantageously be changed and adapted to the requirements.
  • the stiffening element springs in different degrees depending on the cross-sectional dimensions of the stiffening element and thus can be adapted to the comfort requirements of the user the wearing properties of the backpack.
  • the Stiffening element In addition to the required stiffness for removing the load is the Stiffening element depending on the cross-sectional dimensions of different degrees resilient. This allows the wearing properties of the backpack to be adapted to the user's comfort requirements. In practice, it has been shown that a thickness of one millimeter, especially with wide stiffening elements, up to a thickness of 30 millimeters, especially when using narrow stiffening elements, covering the necessary for the user spectrum of suspension hardness for the stiffening element of a backpack.
  • the spine of the human body has a double S-shaped curvature.
  • the shape of the present invention is optimized based on the anatomical shape of the wearer so that the stiffener has an upper portion, a middle portion and a lower portion, the upper portion having an S-bend and the lower portion having a kink. Shaped in such a way, the stiffening element brings the backpack into shape so that its back follows the course of the double S-shaped curvature of the spine. This significantly increases the wearing comfort.
  • the support surface between the back and back of the wearer is increased. Pressure points as a result of punctiform contacts between the back and back are thus avoided.
  • the back may be close to the back of the wearer.
  • the surface of the stiffening element is smooth in an advantageous embodiment.
  • wood preservatives preferably linseed oil
  • an effective protection against weathering, especially moisture is ensured.
  • the use of linseed oil has the advantage that the linseed oil layer can be renewed at any time by the user by rubbing the stiffening element with linseed oil in case of damage to the protective layer or a wear due to use.
  • a coating with linseed oil does not burst when exposed to moisture or UV radiation.
  • no pretreatment of the surface for example by grinding or the like must be done.
  • the preferred material wood has a high resistance to UV radiation. This causes only one some discoloration of the surface, which, however, has no significant influence on the mechanical properties.
  • a backpack according to the invention has at least one stiffening element, wherein the stiffening element can be received by an insertion pocket arranged on the back part of the backpack. By using an insertion pocket, the stiffening element is attached to the backpack.
  • the pocket is closed on one side and open on the other side.
  • the open side of the pocket can be opened and closed again with a slide-in pocket closure.
  • a preferred embodiment of the insertion pocket closure provides for the use of a hook and loop fastener.
  • One possible embodiment is the formation of the insertion pocket closure as a flap provided with a hook-and-loop fastener.
  • other closures are conceivable, for example by buttons or a zipper.
  • stiffening element can be pulled out of the pocket and can be replaced by another stiffening element ensures that after opening the EinschubtaschenverBankes the previously described different hard or stiff stiffening element to adjust the comfort of wear by the user without tools against another stiffening element can be replaced ,
  • a further preferred embodiment provides that the insertion pocket is partially recessed and engages the stiffening element only in the upper portion and the lower portion in the insertion pocket and in particular the central portion of the stiffening element remains visible.
  • a carrying device of the backpack can also be attached to this visible stiffening element. This can be done for example by a tubular bag open on both sides of the carrying device. The tubular bag includes the part of the visible stiffening element.
