Dispositivo para ayudar a una persona a transportar un objetoDevice to help a person carry an object

Sector de la técnicaTechnical sector

El sector en el que se encuadra la invención es el de los artículos personales o domésticos, destinados a transportar equipajes o paquetes sobre el cuerpo.The sector in which the invention is framed is that of personal or domestic articles, intended to transport luggage or packages on the body.

El objeto de la invención es un dispositivo para ayudar a una persona a transportar un objeto, constituyendo una alternativa a los tradicionales bolsos y mochilas. Más concretamente, se trata de un yugo actualizado, o sea, de un dispositivo que permite colgar de los hombros del usuario una carga a fin de facilitar su transporte, incluso con sus manos desocupadas o solo colaborando en el sostenimiento del objeto a transportar.The object of the invention is a device to help a person carry an object, constituting an alternative to traditional bags and backpacks. More specifically, it is an updated yoke, that is, a device that allows a load to be hung from the user's shoulders in order to facilitate its transport, even with their hands unoccupied or only helping to hold the object to be transported.

Estado de la técnicaState of the art

Los seres humanos solemos desplazar cargas y en determinadas circunstancias incluso con un peso considerable, generalmente cargadas en los hombros o en los brazos. Por nuestra configuración ósea, los hombros parecen ser los puntos de apoyo más adecuados y de ahí que existan una gran cantidad de dispositivos tipo mochila en su mayoría con unas correas que facilitan la fijación de la carga. No obstante esto plantea un problema añadido, ya que en la mayoría de los dispositivos que se conocen de este tipo, el peso de las cargas no solo ejerce una fuerza vertical hacia abajo, sino que se descompone en otras fuerzas laterales, en sentido frontal o hacia atrás, como por ejemplo sucede en el uso de mochilas: al producirse una fuerza que tira del porteador hacia atrás, por lo que éste se ve obligado a caminar inclinado hacia adelante para equilibrar las fuerzas y procurar que el centro gravedad caiga justo entre sus pies; mientras las correas por delante y por arriba tienden a clavarse en el cuerpo del portador e incluso a hacerle daño.Human beings tend to move loads and in certain circumstances even with considerable weight, generally carried on the shoulders or arms. Due to our bone configuration, the shoulders seem to be the most suitable support points and hence there are a large number of backpack-type devices, most of them with straps that facilitate the fixation of the load. However, this poses an added problem, since in most of the devices of this type known, the weight of the loads not only exerts a vertical downward force, but also decomposes into other lateral forces, in the frontal or backwards, as for example in the use of backpacks: when a force is produced that pulls the wearer backwards, for which he is forced to walk inclined forward to balance the forces and ensure that the center of gravity falls right between his feet; while the straps on the front and on the top tend to dig into the wearer's body and even hurt him.

En ciertas culturas antiguas, particularmente en algunos países asiáticos, se ha empleado el yugo como medio de transporte de cargas ya que con este aparato se consigue una mejor distribución de la carga al menos en sentido vertical. En Occidente también se ha empleado, o al menos se ha intentado difundir su uso, y buena prueba de ello la constituye por ejemplo el documento US966562(A) que describe un yugo de transporte mejorado, del tipo que está diseñado para colocarse sobre los hombros de un hombre y descansar sobre ellos, y que está destinado a soportar una carga suspendida de cada uno de los extremos del mismo.In certain ancient cultures, particularly in some Asian countries, the yoke has been used as a means of transporting loads since with this device a better distribution of the load is achieved at least vertically. In the West it has also been used, or at least an attempt has been made to spread its use, and a good proof of this is, for example, the document US966562 (A) which describes an improved transport yoke, of the type that is designed to be placed on the shoulders of a man and to rest on them, and which is intended to support a load suspended from each of the ends of the same.

Este aparato fue perfeccionado con la finalidad de adaptarlo a usos concretos y así, en el documento US2002030073(A1) se describe un útil para transportar una canoa, que tiene la configuración de un yugo, con una forma cóncava para ajustarse alrededor de la espalda o el cuello de la persona sin presión sustancial sobre el mismo, y que tiene una porción elástica en cada extremo con una hombrera de apoyo que configuran los apoyos del objeto a transportar, en este caso, por encima de la cabeza del usurario.This apparatus was perfected in order to adapt it to specific uses and thus, document US2002030073 (A1) describes a tool to transport a canoe, which has the configuration of a yoke, with a concave shape to fit around the back or the neck of the person without substantial pressure on it, and which has an elastic portion at each end with a support shoulder pad that forms the supports of the object to be transported, in this case, above the head of the user.

Recientemente y a través del documento US2015201738(A1) se ha divulgado un yugo más moderno, incluso en el título de la patente ya que lo denominaron asistente de transporte de hombro. Se trata de un dispositivo que permite al usuario transportar cargas sin restringir su movimiento y sin perder el uso de sus manos, para lo cual presenta una hombrera para cada hombro que están conectadas entre sí a través de una barra por encima y por una barra transversal posterior, de ancho ajustable. Las cargas están unidas a sendos ganchos de carga situados a ambos costados del portador, fijados por medio de cuerdas regulables en altura en relación a las hombreras.Recently and through the document US2015201738 (A1) a more modern yoke has been disclosed, even in the title of the patent since it was called shoulder transport assistant. It is a device that allows the user to carry loads without restricting their movement and without losing the use of their hands, for which it presents a shoulder pad for each shoulder that are connected to each other through a bar above and by a cross bar rear, adjustable width. The loads are attached to two load hooks located on both sides of the carrier, fixed by means of height-adjustable ropes in relation to the shoulder straps.

Explicación de la invenciónExplanation of the invention

Los problemas que plantean los yugos tradicionales son de diversa índole, por un lado, en unos casos sirven únicamente como medio de apoyo de una carga colocada por encima de los hombros, lo que normalmente obliga a levantar las manos para sujetarla y, aunque esto se pudiera resolver de otra forma, al portador el hecho de soportar una carga por encima de su cuerpo le provoca que su centro de gravedad se sitúe muy por encima de lo habitual, lo que le causa un desequilibrio evidente. En otros casos, en los que la carga cuelga del yugo y que por tanto resuelven el problema anteriormente citado, se producen otros problemas, derivados de la situación de las cargas, ya que lo idóneo es que para tratar de conseguir que el peso de las mismas únicamente supongan fuerzas en sentido vertical, que el porteador pueda soportar fácilmente sin perjuicio para su columna vertebral y sus articulaciones.The problems posed by traditional yokes are of various kinds, on the one hand, in some cases they only serve as a means of support for a load placed above the shoulders, which usually requires raising the hands to hold it and, although this is It could be solved in another way, for the wearer, the fact of supporting a load above his body causes his center of gravity to be placed much higher than usual, which causes him an obvious imbalance. In other cases, in which the load hangs from the yoke and therefore solves the aforementioned problem, other problems arise, derived from the situation of the loads, since the ideal thing is that to try to achieve that the weight of the They only suppose forces in the vertical direction, which the wearer can easily withstand without prejudice to his spine and joints.

Basándose en la técnica anterior, un objetivo de la presente invención es proporcionar un dispositivo adaptado a los tiempos modernos en los que existen multitud de transportistas que tienen que mover cajas, equipos y aparatos voluminosos y pesados; que además permita hacerlo con comodidad, soltura y sin que suponga un problema para sus articulaciones.Based on the prior art, an objective of the present invention is to provide a device adapted to modern times in which there are multitudes of carriers who have to move bulky and heavy boxes, equipment and appliances; that also allow it to be done with comfort, ease and without posing a problem for your joints.

Con el fin de alcanzar los objetivos propuestos, mencionados en el apartado anterior, la invención propone un dispositivo para ayudar a una persona a transportar un objeto, que tiene las características de la reivindicación 1. Más concretamente y como indicábamos en el punto anterior, la principal característica de este dispositivo es que incluye una estructura rígida a modo de yugo que se apoya en sendas hombreras y que definen frontal y posteriormente medios de fijación de sendas correas laterales que formando lazos que caen lateralmente por los costados del portador y en las que se disponen unos medios para fijación de la carga o de algún elemento auxiliar con el que fijar la carga, por la parte frontal del portador.In order to achieve the proposed objectives, mentioned in the previous section, the invention proposes a device to help a person to transport an object, which has the characteristics of claim 1. More specifically and as we indicated in the previous point, the The main characteristic of this device is that it includes a rigid structure in the form of a yoke that is supported by individual shoulder straps and that define the front and rear means of attachment of the respective lateral straps that form loops that fall laterally down the sides of the wearer and in which They have means for fixing the load or some auxiliary element with which to fix the load, on the front of the carrier.

Este dispositivo puede emplearse diariamente por cualquier persona que necesite llevar un neceser, llaves, bolsas, etc., porque realmente es como una prenda de vestir más, dado su escaso peso y que no resta nada la movilidad del portados. Pero también resulta muy práctico para trabajadores como transportistas, militares o personal de trabajos especiales, en general cualquiera que necesite llevar encima varias herramientas o instrumentos, ya sea puntualmente o durante el desarrollo de su tarea.This device can be used daily by anyone who needs to carry a toiletry bag, keys, bags, etc., because it really is like another garment, given its low weight and that it does not detract from the mobility of the ported person. But it is also very practical for workers such as transporters, military personnel or special work personnel, in general anyone who needs to carry several tools or instruments, either on time or during the development of their task.
