  • This new orientation of the links frees the links at passage 1327u.
  • the orientation of the downstream link is substantially aligned with the passage 1327u, the link is therefore no longer retained at this level. It can therefore slide freely through the 1327u passage.
  • the orientation of the downstream link with respect to the movable jaw 1324 is such that the link no longer exerts a significant force on the movable jaw 1324 to push it towards the longitudinal wall 1325u of the body 1325 of the ascender. There is therefore no more pinching between the jaws 1323, 1324 of the blocker. The links are then released and can slide freely in the passages 1327u, 1327v.
  • the user rocks the ascender into its release configuration, as shown in figure 16 .
  • he folds down the actuator 1325 (movement in the direction opposite to the arrow R shown in figure 16 ) to switch the ascender to its blocking configuration shown in figure 15 .
  • the central rib 1324c is pierced by a transverse hole 1324d so as to be able to attach a cord, not shown, to the movable jaw.
  • a cord not shown
  • the user can grasp the cord and pull on it in a direction which makes it possible to cause the moving jaw to move away from the fixed jaw, thus releasing the links.
  • This construction facilitates the tilting of the two adjustment devices into a release configuration with a simple gesture.
  • the upper link and the lower link are blocked in separate areas.
  • the reliability of the single blocker is improved by reducing the risk of tangling of the links between them and the risk of one link slipping along the other.
  • these dissociated tightening makes it possible to maintain tightening even if one of the blockings is lacking.
  • the first and second adjustment devices 1321, 1322 are self-tightening devices in the sense that in the absence of stress from the actuator, if the links are pulled upstream, that is to say , if we exert a tension on the tightening part of the links, we further block the links between the jaws. This secures tightening and adjustment.
  • the links can be slid in the blocker. This facilitates adjustment as the user does not need to act on the actuator.
  • the first and second adjustment devices 1321, 1322 are self-locking devices in the sense that in the rest position, in the absence of user demand, they block the links passing through them.
  • This characteristic is obtained by virtue of an elastic means 1326 as is the case with the first two embodiments illustrated above.
  • this characteristic can be achieved by a particular construction as is the case with the third embodiment illustrated above.
  • This specificity of the adjustment devices makes the single blocker 132 also self-locking.
  • the user installs the adjustment system on the backpack as shown in the figure 2 .
  • This operation consists in connecting the hooking elements 11, 12 and 13 with respectively one of the fixing elements 212 of the first strap 21 and in connecting the hooking elements 14 and 15 with respectively one of the fixing elements 222 of the first strap 22.
  • the connection is made via the attachments 111, 121, 131, 141, 151 of the hooking elements 11, 12, 13, 14, 15.
  • each strap comprises a succession of fastening elements 212, 222 distributed vertically, along each shoulder strap.
  • the user then chooses the fixing elements 212, 222 to which he wants to connect the hooking elements 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15 according to his wish for wearing comfort. It can thus adjust the vertical positions of the attachment points of the adjustment system.
  • the user connects the upper link 101 with the hooking element 14 and / or the upper link 102 with the hooking element 15, according to his need, as shown in the figure. figure 3 .
  • the connection is made via the hooks 142, 152 of the hooking elements 14, 15.
  • the user grasps the loop 103 or the gripping means 104 and pulls on it. Because the hooking element 13 is fixed on the first strap 21, via the fastener 131 / fixing element 212 connection, this traction on the upper and lower links causes the links to be released in the blocker 132. The user exerts traction until the desired tightness / fit is obtained. As soon as it obtains the desired setting, it releases the loop.
  • the blocker reacts by blocking the links which makes it possible to freeze the length of the tightening part of the upper link, that is to say, the part of the link between the hooking element 13 and the hooking element 11 and the length of the tightening part of the lower link, that is, the part of the link between the attachment element 13 and the attachment element 12.
  • This adjustment operation is simple and intuitive. It allows fast, simultaneous, balanced and comfortable tightening. It is always possible for the user to have a dissociated tightening between the upper link and the lower link. For this, he must pull on a single strand 1012, 1021 of the loop 103 and not on the loop.
  • the backpack is then configured for good carrying comfort.
  • the user acts on the actuator 1325 to release the links from the blocker 132. Therefore, it suffices to exert a force on the links to relax them, to increase the length of the tightening part of the upper link, that is to say, the part of the upper link between the hooking element 13 and the hooking element 11 and the length of the tightening part of the lower link, that is to say , the part of the lower link between the hooking element 13 and the hooking element 12.
  • This thus makes it possible to adjust the distance between the front part 211 of a first strap 21 of the backpack 2 and the part front 221 of a second strap 22 of the backpack.
  • the user disengages the upper link 101 from the hooking element 14 and the upper link 102 from the hooking element 15. He can then easily remove his backpack.
  • This first embodiment of the adjustment system comprising five hooking elements 11-15 has the advantage of being practical for setting up and removing the backpack. Indeed, the use of the fourth 14 and fifth hooking elements 15 fixed on the second strap 22 allows easy coupling or uncoupling of the links 101, 102 with the second strap. With a simple gesture, the user can connect a link 101, 105 with the corresponding hooking element 14, 15. In this embodiment, this connection is made using simple hooks 141, 151.
  • the invention is not limited to the use of five hooking elements 11-15.
  • the adjustment system comprises only three attachment elements 11, 12 and 13.
  • the third attachment element 13 is intended to be fixed on the first strap 21 while the first 11 and second attachment elements 12 are intended to be fixed on the second strap 22.
  • This construction is simple and requires only two types of hooking elements.
  • the adjustment system comprises only four hooking elements 11, 12, 13 and 14.
  • the first 11 and third hooking elements 13 are intended to be fixed on the first strap 21 while the second 12 and fourth hooking elements 14 are intended to be fixed on the second strap 22.
  • three types of hooking elements are used.
  • the adjustment system may include more than five hooking elements and in particular arranged more hooking elements similar to the fourth 14 and fifth hooking elements 15. Each link 101, 102 then forms as many zigzags as desired.
  • first hooking element 11 and / or the second hooking element 12 can be connected to the second strap 22 and therefore not necessarily to the same strap as that to which the third element is connected. hook 13.
  • the hooking elements 14; 15 are directly secured to the corresponding strap, for example, by gluing or sewing.
  • they mainly comprise a hook 142; 152.
  • the backpack may comprise a succession of hooks / attachment elements distributed vertically along a strap, permanently attached to the strap.
  • the adjustment system advantageously comprises at least one hooking element 14, 15 provided with a guide element 141, 151 designed to receive, in a removable manner, a portion of a link.
  • This feature makes it possible to facilitate the connection and disconnection of a portion of a link with a shoulder strap, which can make it easier to put on and take off the backpack.
  • the invention is not limited to these embodiments. It is possible to combine these embodiments.
