Definitions

  • the present invention is generally applicable to the technical field of the articles transportable by people and, in particular, refers to a multifunctional transportable container.
  • the known multifunctional suitcases or backpacks provide a seating system not suitable, for example, for creating a deckchair suitable for accommodating a lying person.
  • Aim of the present invention is to provide a multifunctional transportable container that allows to at least partially overcome the drawbacks highlighted above.
  • an aim of the present invention is to provide a transportable container capable of carrying multiple objects.
  • Another aim of the present invention is to provide a container that allows a comfortable seating to be created for a user in case of need.
  • a further aim of the present invention is to provide a container in which the seating system is simpler, lighter and less cumbersome than the known equivalent devices.
  • Another aim of the present invention is to provide a transportable container shaped to also provide a user with a cover.
  • it comprises at least one backrest, at least one main compartment suitable for containing the objects to be transported and at least one outer surface opposite the backrest.
  • the container of the invention comprises at least one seat rotoidally coupled to at least a first coupling point of the container.
  • This seat is shaped to pass through rotation from at least a first configuration in which it is positioned near the outer surface so as not to hinder the transport of the container itself, to at least a second configuration in which it is instead rotated towards the backrest so as to create a seating for a user including the seat and the backrest.
  • the container also comprises at least one stabilizing element rotoidally coupled to at least a second coupling point of the container.
  • the stabilizing element is also shaped to pass through rotation from at least a third configuration in which it is positioned near the outer surface so as not to hinder transport, to at least a fourth configuration in which it is rotated to create a rest body for the backrest so as to support it stably at any inclination.
  • the container of the invention allows multiple objects to be transported within the main compartment.
  • the seat operatively coupled to the container itself makes it possible to easily create a seating for a person.
  • the movement of the seat by rotation thereof simplifies the operations compared to the equivalent devices present in the prior art.
  • the presence of the stabilizing element also easily moved by rotation, allows the backrest to be arranged according to the desired inclination. In this way it is possible to improve the comfort of the seating while maintaining its stability.
  • the ease of the system for creating the seating that provides for the seat and the stabilizing element to pass from one configuration to another by rotation implies a limitation of the construction costs of the container of the invention.
  • kit for completing a transportable container comprising at least one main compartment suitable for containing the objects to be transported and at least one outer surface opposite the backrest.
  • the kit of the invention comprises at least one seat rotoidally coupled to at least one first coupling point of the container.
  • This seat is shaped to pass through rotation from at least a first configuration in which it is positioned near the outer surface so as not to hinder the transport of the container itself, to at least a second configuration in which it is instead rotated towards the backrest so as to create a seating for a user including the seat and the backrest.
  • the container also comprises at least one stabilizing element rotoidally coupled to at least a second coupling point of the container.
  • the stabilizing element is also shaped to pass through rotation from at least a third configuration in which it is positioned near the outer surface so as not to hinder transport, to at least a fourth configuration in which it is rotated to create a rest body for the backrest so as to support it stably at any inclination.
  • figures 1 to 3 represent the container of the invention with seating, stabilizing element and covers arranged in different configurations.
  • a multifunctional transportable container 1 according to the invention is described.
  • said container 1 is a backpack 2, obviously this aspect is not to be understood as limiting for different embodiment variants of the invention where, for example, the container is another luggage product (a bag, a trolley, a suitcase).
  • the container 1 comprises a backrest 4, a main compartment 5 and an outer surface 6.
  • the backrest 4 typically, but not necessarily, comprises a semi-rigid panel 8 shaped to facilitate resting the backrest 4 itself on the back of a user.
  • the compartment 5 is shaped to store the objects to be transported and is interposed between the backrest 4 and the outer part 6.
  • the outer surface 6 is opposite the backrest 4 with respect to the main compartment 5.
  • the main compartment 5 allows, as mentioned, to store one or more objects inside in order to easily transport them, thus fulfilling the primary function of the luggage products.
  • the number of compartments is not to be considered limiting for different embodiment variants of the invention where, for example, the container comprises more than one compartment.
  • the container 1 also comprises a seat 10 rotoidally coupled to a first coupling point 12 of the container 1 itself, i.e. coupled so as to allow its rotation.
  • This seat 10 is shaped to be arranged, through rotation, at least according to two configurations: a first configuration in which the seat 10 is positioned near the outer surface 6 so as not to hinder the transport of the container 1 (see Fig. 3 ) and a second configuration in which the seat 10 is rotated towards the backrest 4 so as to create a seating together with the backrest 4 itself (see Figs. 1 and 2 ).
  • the seat 10 rotates shifting towards the backrest 4 until it is arranged so that the seat 10 itself and the backrest 4 of the container 1 form a chair for the user.
  • the seat 10 is extendable, for example by means of telescopic poles, so as to allow an extension of the seating and therefore allow a person to lie down as if he/she were in a deckchair.
  • this aspect should not be understood as limiting to different embodiment variants of the invention where, for example, the seat is not extendable.
  • the container 1 of the invention also comprises a stabilizing element 13 rotoidally coupled to a second coupling point 15 of the container 1 itself. Similar to what has been said for the seat 10, the stabilizing element 13 is also shaped to pass through rotation from a third configuration in which it is positioned near the outer surface 6 (see Figs. 2 and 3 ), so as not to hinder the transport of the container by a person, to a fourth configuration in which the stabilizing element 13 creates a rest body for the backrest 4 so as to support it at any inclination (see Fig.1 ).
  • the stabilizing element 13 is arranged so as to prop up the backrest 4 by supporting its weight and thus make the seating created in the second configuration stable.
  • the container 1 of the invention allows, in addition to the transport of one or more objects, to rotate the seat 10 and the stabilizing element 13 to create a kind of chair/deckchair including a backrest 4.
  • the use of the stabilizing element 13 improves the support of the backrest 4 compared to the known devices by allowing it to be tilted at any angle.
  • the container 1 also comprises constraint mechanisms, not represented in the figures, which allow the seat 4 and/or the stabilizing element 13 to be locked in the respective configurations.
  • constraint mechanisms not represented in the figures, which allow the seat 4 and/or the stabilizing element 13 to be locked in the respective configurations.
  • the nature of the constraint mechanisms should not be understood as limiting different embodiment variants of the invention where, for example, they comprise mechanical and/or magnetic constraints.
  • the container 1 comprises a cover 18 operatively coupled to the container 1 itself.
  • the cover 18 is shaped to pass from a fifth configuration in which it is also positioned near the outer surface 6 so as not to hinder the transport of the container 1 (see Figs. 2 and 3 ), and according to a sixth configuration in which it is arranged so as to cover a user positioned on the seat 10 (see Fig. 1 ) arranged in the second configuration.
  • the cover 18 allows an additional functionality to be added to the container 1 of the invention, which is thus shaped to create a user protection area.
  • the cover 18 comprises elastic material capable of guaranteeing a protection of at least 50 UV, typically but not necessarily such material comprises lycra.
  • the material of the cover should not be understood as limiting different embodiment variants of the inventions, which guarantee the UV protection and elasticity of the cover.
  • the cover comprises waterproof material.
  • the invention also comprises a bag 20, typically but not necessarily trapezoidal in shape, coupled to the outer surface 6 and shaped to contain therein the cover 18.
  • the bag 20 allows the cover 18 arranged according to the sixth configuration to be stored, limiting its overall dimensions and preventing it from hindering the transport of the container 1.
  • the cover 18 comprises telescopic poles 22 which advantageously allow it to be extended so as to increase the covered surface while maintaining stiffness.
  • the cover 18 optionally comprises a butterfly-like adjustment system, also not represented in the figures, which allows to adjust the width of the cover 18, distancing the telescopic poles 22 from each other, so as to further increase the covered surface.
  • a butterfly-like adjustment system also not represented in the figures, which allows to adjust the width of the cover 18, distancing the telescopic poles 22 from each other, so as to further increase the covered surface.
  • the transportable container 1 also comprises a strap 25 operatively coupled to the stabilizing element 13.
  • This strap 25 typically but not necessarily made of elastic material, allows the stabilizing element 13 to be moved by adjusting the angle of rotation by tensioning the strap 25 itself.
  • the strap 25 is also operatively coupled to the cover 18 and by means of its tensioning it is also possible to adjust the arrangement of the cover 18.
  • the adjustment of the angle of rotation of the stabilizing element 13 and the arrangement of the cover 18 by tensioning the strap 25 are integral.
  • this allows to optimize the surface covered by the cover 18 as a function of the inclination of the backrest 4 and, therefore, of the position of a seated person.
  • the multifunctional transportable container 1 can be configured for easy transport when the seat 10, the stabilizing element 13 and/or the cover 18 are respectively arranged according to the first, third and fifth configuration.
  • the user can move the seat 10 and the stabilizing element 13 by rotating them with respect to the respective coupling points 12 and 15 to arrange them respectively according to the second and fourth configuration so as to set up a chair/deckchair on which to relax.
  • the user can remove the cover 18 from the possible bag 20 to protect themselves from shade or bad weather.
  • This strap 25 can also be generally coupled to the seat 10 so as to allow the user to control its tensioning even while sitting.
  • the object of the invention is also a kit for completing, not represented in the figures, a transportable container comprising a backrest, a main compartment and an outer surface as reported above.
  • said kit comprises a seat 10 couplable rotoidally to a first coupling point 12 of the container.
  • the seat 10 is shaped to pass through rotation from a first configuration in which it is positioned neat the outer surface so as not to hinder the to a second configuration in which it is rotated towards the backrest so as to create a seating for a user.
  • the kit also comprises a stabilizing element 13, couplable rotoidally to a second coupling point 15 of the container, and shaped to pass through rotation from a third configuration, in which it is positioned near the outer surface so as not to hinder the transport of the container, to a fourth configuration in which it is rotated to create a rest body for the backrest so as to support it stably at any inclination.
  • a stabilizing element 13 couplable rotoidally to a second coupling point 15 of the container, and shaped to pass through rotation from a third configuration, in which it is positioned near the outer surface so as not to hinder the transport of the container, to a fourth configuration in which it is rotated to create a rest body for the backrest so as to support it stably at any inclination.
  • the kit also comprises a cover 18 operatively couplable to the container and shaped to pass from at least a fifth configuration, in which it is positioned near the outer surface so as not to hinder the transport of the container, to at least a sixth configuration in which it is arranged so as to cover at least one user sitting on the seat when arranged according to the second configuration.
  • the kit comprises a strap 25 operatively coupled to the stabilizing element 13 and/or to the cover 18 and suitable to respectively allow the adjustment of the angle of rotation and to adjust the arrangement by tensioning the strap 25 itself.
  • the multifunctional transportable container of the invention achieves all the set aims.
  • the container of the invention allows a seating to be created for a user to be used in case of need but which does not in any way hinder the transport of the container itself.
  • the container of the invention comprises a system for creating the seating that is based on the rotation of the seat and of the stabilizing element, thus making the operations for creating the seating very easy.
  • the container of the invention is very light and the production costs are limited.
