Description

Fastening means and a bag arrangement to which fastening means are connected The object of the present invention is fastening means which can be connected to a bag arrangement, which includes a first container space delimited by a wall, in which the fastening means include: at least one of the first fastening elements which can be adapted to the wall of the first container space , and at least one other fastening elements that can be adapted to the wall of the second container space delimited by the second wall of the bag arrangement. —The object of the invention is also a bag arrangement, to which the fastening means according to the invention presented below are attached. Such a state-of-the-art fastening arrangement is known, for example, from patent publication US4673070. It shows a fastening arrangement, in which the first — (bag) is arranged, e.g. by sewing to the outer surface of the bag, a receiving part (female part) formed from one piece. It has a rail-like design, to which the corresponding fastening elements (male part) attached to the second bag can be moved. This male part includes a handle from which the other bag can be detached/pulled out of its aforementioned attachment by pulling it.

In addition to this, various hanging devices with similar mechanisms are known, for example, in camping equipment and tactical equipment (backpacks, clothing, belts). Typically, such devices are attached to the outer surface of the walls of clothes or equipment, and the attachment elements are connected to each other by means of a mechanical joint that can be opened, e.g. a hook, button or clip.

N & s In such arrangements, it is typical that the fastening means are connected to the outer surface of the tank space or equipment with a counterpart (e.g. a button), whose sole function is to fasten the fastening means to the outer surface. Or the equipment is knitted onto the equipment > 30 — tee. In addition to this, the fastening means are designed in such a way that the tank spaces (or the equipment connected to each other by means of the fastening means) can be removed from their fastening quickly and as easily as possible.

OF

The problem with such a structure is that the attachment of the fastening elements to the tank space (or equipment) is relatively weak or weakly supported, especially when the material of the tank space is fabric or a comparable material.

In situations where, for example, the container spaces can move when carrying or moving the bag arrangement, it causes — twisting forces between the fastening elements, which in turn, over time or when a sudden large force is applied to them, may break the fastening means or the material of the container space/equipment connected to the fastening means at that point.

In addition to this, the fastening between the fastening elements is often easily openable, so that, especially in bag arrangements, the second storage space (e.g. a smaller storage bag) attached to the wall of the first storage space (e.g. a backpack) can be easily stolen.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide such fastening means that avoid the disadvantages presented above.

This is achieved with the structure of the fastening means according to the invention, which enables the fitting of fastening elements — to the containers in such a way that the fastening point is more supportive than state-of-the-art solutions.

This purpose according to the invention is achieved in accordance with the present invention in such a way that the first fastening elements include a first background element which is a plate-like body which can be placed against the inner surface of the wall of the first tank space, a fastening element which includes a plate-like body, which can be fixed to the wall of the first tank space against the outer surface in such a way that the wall of the first tank space is partly between the first background element and the fastening element, that the second fastening elements include a second background element, which is a plate-like body that can be placed against the inner surface of the wall of the second tank space, a connecting element, which includes a plate-like body that is attached N 25 — can be made against the outer surface of the wall of the second tank space, so that the wall of the second tank space O is partly between the second background element and the connection element, that the fastening element includes a design and the connection element includes a counter-design lu, through which S the first fastening elements and the second fastening elements can be releasably connected to each other in such a way that, when installed in place, the plate-like first background element, the plate-like body of the fastening element, the second background element and the connection field element are placed on top of each other, and that the fastening means include locking S designs that enable the first fastening elements and the second fastening elements N to be locked to each other with locking means that can be brought together with the locking designs and which as a whole form a loop or link that wraps around the locking designs. The background elements of the fastening elements according to the invention, which are made of a relatively rigid material, form a supporting structure in connection with the joining of the fastening means, which prevents the forces that twist the structure from being applied to the fastening elements or the walls of the container spaces around it. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are presented in the attached independent patent claims. Of these, the locking designs that belong to the fastening accessories are particularly known, which enable the first fastening elements and the second fastening elements to be locked together with a locking element that can be moved in connection with the locking designs. This feature makes it possible, in particular, that the tank spaces cannot be separated from each other from the fastening formed by the design and counter-design, but must first be — unlocked. Consequently, it is very difficult to steal containers that are attached to each other without being noticed or quickly. Other advantageous embodiments of the present invention are presented in other non-independent patent claims.

Next, the invention is explained in more detail by referring to the attached drawings, in which: Figure 1 shows, as an axonometric view, the attachment means according to a preferred embodiment of the invention separately,

N & s Figure 1A shows the locking means of the fastening device according to Figure 1, a I Figure 2 shows the locking device according to the embodiment shown in Figures 1 and 1A, where the parts are attached to each other, and N Figure 3 shows the embodiment according to Figure 1 from the side.

OF

Figures 1-3 show an advantageous embodiment of the fastening means 1 according to the invention, where the reference numbering of each feature in the figures correspond to each other. The fastening means 1 include the first fastening elements, which are generally marked with the reference number 10. The first fastening elements 10 are adapted in use to the wall 80 of the first container space S1 (Figure 2). In addition to this, the fastening means 1 include other fastening elements, which are generally marked with the reference number 40. The second fastening elements 40 can be adapted to the wall 90 of the second container space S2 (Figure 2) delimited by the second wall 90 of the bag arrangement.

— The first fastening elements 10 include the first background element 20. When placed in place, it is against the inner surface 81 of the wall 80 of the first tank space S1. That is, it is installed inside the first tank space S1. Preferably, it is a plate-like piece 21 with a support surface coming against the inner surface 81 of the wall 80. The first fastening elements 10 also include a fastening element 30 fixed against the outer surface 82 of the wall of the first container space S1. The fastening element 30 also includes a similar plate-like piece 31, the support surface of which is placed against the outer surface 82 of the wall 80 is mounted in alignment with the support surface of the background element 20. In this case, however, the wall 80 of the first container space S1 remains partially between the first background element 20 and the fastening element 30 at the fastening elements, which can be seen especially in Figure 3.

A design 33a, 33b, 33c, 33d is arranged in connection with the plate-like body 31 outside the container space S1 or it includes. The purpose of the different parts of the design is to form a groove, pocket and/or recess of the first fastening elements 10, which counter-N 25 — takes the counter-O design 61a, 61b, 61c belonging to the second fastening elements 40 shown in more detail below. The design 33a, 33b, 33c, 33d includes surfaces 33a and 33b which are placed opposite each other in the direction = of the plane formed by the first background element 20 (also the plate-like body 31). Advantageously, they converge in their lengthwise direction (going downwards in the pictures) actually forming > 30 a narrowing shaft or hole with a bottom. Furthermore, the design includes the edges or shoulders 33c and 33d that extend above the plane of the surfaces 33a, 33b, the outer surfaces of which S form a planar surface parallel to the supporting surface of the plate-like cap 31, and against which the counter-designs 61a, 61b, 61c of the coupling element 60 rest.

Holes or openings 32 have been formed in the edge regions of the fastening element 30, in the region of the above-mentioned edges or shoulders, through which the mechanical fastening piece can be taken to the corresponding 5 — fastening points 22 formed in connection with the first background element 20 in order to fasten the fastening element 30 against the outer surface 82 of the wall 80 of the first container space S1. Consequently, the fastening pieces also fasten the fastening element 30 and the background element 20 together so that the wall 80 of the container space S1 remains in that part between them. The fastening element can be, for example, a screw-nut connector or a rivet, or a similar fastening element. Its material is preferably metal or a metal alloy. Other materials can also be used as the material of the fastening piece on a case-by-case basis, such as, for example, plastic, plastic mixture, composite or man-made fiber. The other fastening elements 40 include another background element 50. When placed in place, it — is against the inner surface 91 of the wall 90 of the second tank space S2. That is, it is installed inside the second tank space S2. Preferably, the second background element 50 is a plate-like body 51 with a support surface that comes against the inner surface 81 of the wall 80. The other fastening elements 40 also include a connecting element 60 fixed against the outer surface 92 of the wall of the second container space S2. The connecting element 60 also includes a similar plate-like piece or flat area, the support surface of which the outer surface 92 of the wall 90 is mounted in alignment with the support surface of the second background element 50. In this case, also the wall 90 of the second container space S2 remains partially at the second fastening elements 40 between the second background element 50 and the coupling element 60, which can be seen especially in Figure 3. at the first fastening elements 10) a connection must be made to the corresponding fastening points 52 formed in connection with the second background element 50 in order to fasten the element 60 against the outer surface 92 of the wall 90 of the second container space S2. Consequently, the fastening pieces also fasten the second background element 50 and the coupling element 60 together so that the wall 90 of the container space S2 remains S in that part between them.

OF

The coupling element 60 includes a counter-design 61a, 61b, 61c. The counter shaping cooperates with the shaping 33a, 33b, 33c, 33d of the fastening element 30 so that a connection between the fastening elements 10 and 40 is formed. In this embodiment, the counter-design 61a, 61b, 61c is formed by a tab or projection 61 having the shaped edges 61a, 61b of the coupling element 60. The shaped edges 61a are the outer edges of the coupling element 60, the design of which corresponds to the longitudinally approaching transverse surfaces 33a and 33b of the fastening element 30. Furthermore, in the central area of the coupling element 60, there is a widening part 61" (through which the openings 62 for fastening pieces are arranged), whose shaped edge 61b and 61c (bottom edge) corresponds to the shape of the edges or shoulders 33d and 33c and rises from the surface of the tongue or projection 61 (installed towards the tank space S2 wall 90. In this case, when connected, the shaped edge 61a rests against the transverse surfaces 33a and 33b of the fastening element 30. At the same time, the shaped edge 61b and 61c of the widening part 61" of the coupling element 60 rests against the edges of the edges or shoulders 33c, 33d of the fastening element 30.

Thus, the coupling element 60 can be inserted into the hole, pocket and/or recess 33, 33a in the direction of the plane formed by the first background element 20 (in the direction of the arrow pointing down in the figures) to connect the first fastening elements 10 and the second fastening elements 40 to each other. In this case, the shaped edge 61a remains between the plate-like element 30 of the fastening element 30 and the edges of the edges or shoulders 33c, 33d, in this respect connecting the fastening elements 10 and 40 to each other. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the fastening means 1 includes separate locking means 70. For this, the fastening means 1 includes locking designs 34a, 34b. The locking designs 34a, 34b are extensions of the designs 33a, 33b, 33c, 33d, the lugs 34a, 34b formed in their upper O part. The locking means 70 includes an elongated s locking element or locking pin 71, which can be inserted in the longitudinal direction of the locking element 71 through the lugs 34a and 34b. The export direction is preferably perpendicular to the direction in which the coupling element 60 (i.e. the second fastening elements 40) is brought into the connection of the fastening element 30 (i.e. the first fastening elements 10). In this case, the location of the locking element 71 in its locking position is in front of the second fastening elements 40 installed in position S (in the pictures above) so that they N cannot be pulled (and thus the second container space S2 fitted to it) out of place.

In this embodiment of the invention, the locking means 70 of the invention also include a retaining element 73, 73a arranged in connection with the locking element 71. In its holding position, the holding element 73, 73a prevents the locking element or locking pin 71 from being detached from the lugs 34a, 34b. The purpose of this is especially to prevent the disconnection of the second tank space S2 from the connection of the first tank space S1 without the user noticing or quickly. In other words, the purpose of the locking element 70 is to prevent the theft of the second container space S2. Here, the retaining element 73, 73a is a spring-like flexible body or hook arranged to turn in relation to the locking element 71 on the pivot axis 72 arranged at the first end of the locking element 71, which, thanks to its flexibility and the bending design of the second end 73a, can be bent into a reed at the other end of the locking element 71 when the locking element 71 is moved to the locking position. Said turning axis is preferably perpendicularly transverse to the direction of the longitudinal axis of the locking element 71. This position of the retaining element 73, 73a, which prevents the locking element 71 from being detached from the lugs 34a, 34b, can be seen especially in Figure 2. The locking means 70 thus form, as a whole, a loop or loop that wraps around the lugs 34a and 34b (locking designs). Metal or a metal alloy is preferably used as the material of the locking element 71 and the retaining element 73, 73a. Other materials can also be used, for example plastic or plastic mixtures. A strip 74 is arranged in connection with the bending design 73a, for example made of metal, leather or fabric. This makes it easier for the user when manually bending the retaining element 73, 73a from the one end of the bending design 73a to and from the other end of the locking element 71. The structure of the locking means 70 and the locking designs are not limited to the presented embodiment, but other alternatives can be applied in their structure. The structure is dimensioned in such a way that the other fastening elements 40 cannot move at all when they are attached.

N & s When installed in place, a structure in which the plate-like first background element 20, = the plate-like body 31 of the fastening element 30, the second background element 50 and the coupling I element 60 (tab) are placed one on top of the other in a cooperation (ol- > 30 — less placed in the final product of the tank spaces S1 and S2 connection) of the supporting structure. N The above-mentioned plate-like structure also receives the forces directed at the walls S1 and S2 of the tank spaces S1 and S2, which are directed at the bag arrangement. These forces N can be absorbed even better (in other words, make the structure of the finished bag arrangement even more durable) by forming the plate-like body 21 of the first background element 20 larger in surface area, at least in the part that comes against the inner surface 81 of the wall 80 of the container space S1, than the container space S1 of the fastening element 30 the area of the surface coming against the outer surface 82 of the wall 80. Preferably, the surface area of the plate-like body 21 of the background element 20 is 10-100% larger than the surface area of the plate-like body 31 of the fastening element 30. The advantage of the structure of such fastening means is that they can also be retrofitted to existing tank spaces.
