Description

Sac à dos pour pratique du parapente. Backpack for paragliding.

La présente invention se rapporte à un sac a dos d'un type nour veau, aménagé pour la pratique du parapente. The present invention relates to a backpack of a calf type, arranged for the practice of paragliding.

Le parapente est une technique nouvelle et en plein essor destinée aux alpinistes. Au lieu de faire une descente longue et fastidieuse, après une ascension, l'alpiniste redescend en quelques minutes, suspendu à une sorte de parachute dont la voile est rectangulaire, appelé "parapente", un parapente étant toutefois plus maniable qu'un parachute. Le parapente est en fait un engin intermédiaire entre le parachute, dont il a l'aspect, et l'aile volante dont il se rapproche par sa maniabilité. Paragliding is a new and booming technique for mountaineers. Instead of making a long and tedious descent, after an ascent, the mountaineer descends in a few minutes, suspended from a sort of parachute whose sail is rectangular, called "paraglider", a paraglider being however more manageable than a parachute. The paraglider is in fact an intermediate device between the parachute, which it looks like, and the flying wing, which it approaches by its maneuverability.

L'invention se rapporte à un sac à dos totalement nouveau, qui est spécialement aménagé pour la pratique du parapente en moyenne et haute montagne. I1 est équipé d'une selette pour améliorer le confort en vol, sur laquelle est assis l'alpiniste lorsqu'il est suspendu à la voile du parapente, et qui
- par son bord arrière est liée à la base du dos du sac, c'est-àdire à la base de la partie du sac qui repose directement sur le dos de l'usager,
- à son bord avant se prolonge par deux bretelles se raccordant de façon séparable et réglable à deux amorces de bretelles fixes solidaires de la partie supérieure du dos du sac, situées en avant des bretelles normales du sac, ces deux bretelles servant à l'accrochage de la voile du parapente, par exemple par des mousquetons,
- est équipée de sangles pour le passage des cuisses, ce sac comportant par ailleurs une poche ou compartiment inférieur qui sert au logement de la selette lorsqu'elle n'est pas utilisée.The invention relates to a completely new backpack, which is specially designed for the practice of paragliding in medium and high mountains. It is equipped with a selector to improve comfort in flight, on which the mountaineer sits when suspended from the paraglider's wing, and which
- by its rear edge is linked to the base of the back of the bag, that is to say to the base of the part of the bag which rests directly on the back of the user,
- at its front edge is extended by two straps which are separable and adjustable in connection with two primers of fixed straps secured to the upper part of the back of the bag, located in front of the normal straps of the bag, these two straps being used for hanging paragliding, for example by carabiners,
- is equipped with straps for the passage of the thighs, this bag also comprising a pocket or lower compartment which is used for housing the selette when it is not used.

Selon une première forme de réalisation, la selette est fixée de manière définitive au dos du sac. According to a first embodiment, the selette is permanently fixed to the back of the bag.

Selon une autre forme de réalisation, la selette est séparable du dos du sac. According to another embodiment, the selette is separable from the back of the bag.

Avantageusement, ce sac comprend au moins trois comparti ments : l'un inférieur pour la selette, et les deux autres respectivement pour la voile et pour le matériel et autres effets de l'alpiniste. Advantageously, this bag comprises at least three compartments: one lower for the selette, and the other two respectively for the sail and for the equipment and other effects of the mountaineer.

Dans un but de sécurité, les bretelles de la selette s'étendent dans et sur toute la hauteur du dos du sac. For safety, the straps of the selette extend in and over the entire height of the back of the bag.

De toutes façons, I'invention sera bien comprise, et ses avantages et caractéristiques ressortiront, au cours de la description suivante d'un exemple non limitatif de réalisation, en référence aux dessins schématiques annexés dans lesquels
Figure 1 montre un alpiniste se livrant à la technique du parapente, et équipé de ce sac à dos ;
Figure 2 est une vue en perspective de ce sac à dos, avec la selette sortie de son compartiment ;
Figure 3 est une vue latérale, avec coupe partielle, de ce sac à dos, la selette étant rangée dans son compartiment ;
Figure 4 est une vue similaire de la figure 3, avec la selette sortie de son compartiment.In any case, the invention will be well understood, and its advantages and characteristics will emerge during the following description of a nonlimiting exemplary embodiment, with reference to the appended schematic drawings in which
Figure 1 shows a mountaineer engaging in the technique of paragliding, and equipped with this backpack;
Figure 2 is a perspective view of this backpack, with the selette out of its compartment;
Figure 3 is a side view, partly in section, of this backpack, the selette being stored in its compartment;
Figure 4 is a similar view of Figure 3, with the selette out of its compartment.

En se reportant à l'ensemble des figures, ce sac à dos I est équipé à sa partie basse d'une selette 2, sur laquelle est assis l'alpiniste 3 lorsqu'il est suspendu à la voile 4 du parapente 5, ce parapente 5 étant connu en soi. Referring to all the figures, this backpack I is equipped at its lower part with a selette 2, on which the mountaineer 3 sits when he is suspended from the sail 4 of the paraglider 5, this paraglider 5 being known per se.

Cette selette 2 est liée, par son bord arrière 6 à la base 7 du dos 8 du sac à dos 1. Le "dos" du sac est la partie, généralement rigide ou semi-rigide, du sac 1 qui repose directement sur le dos de l'usager. This selette 2 is linked, by its rear edge 6 to the base 7 of the back 8 of the backpack 1. The "back" of the bag is the part, generally rigid or semi-rigid, of the bag 1 which rests directly on the back of the user.

La liaison entre le bord arrière 6 de la selette 2 et la base 7 du dos du sac est assuree ici de manière fixe, au moyen de solides coutures en particulier.The connection between the rear edge 6 of the selette 2 and the base 7 of the back of the bag is here provided in a fixed manner, by means of solid seams in particular.

A son bord avant, la selette 2 se prolonge par deux bretelles 9,10 qui se raccordent, de façon séparable et réglable, sur deux boucles classiques 11,12 qui équipent l'extrémité libre de deux amorces de bretelles 13,14. Ces deux amorces de bretelles 13,14 sont fixes, solidaires de la partie supérieure du dos 8 du sac, et situées en avant des bretelles normales 15,16 du sac à dos. Les deux bretelles 9,10 servent à l'accrochage, en 17 et 18, de la voile 4 du parapente, par exemple par des mousquetons non apparents sur les dessins. At its front edge, the selette 2 is extended by two straps 9,10 which are connected, in a separable and adjustable manner, on two conventional loops 11,12 which equip the free end with two straps starters 13,14. These two straps primers 13,14 are fixed, integral with the upper part of the back 8 of the bag, and located in front of the normal straps 15,16 of the backpack. The two straps 9, 10 are used for hooking, in 17 and 18, the sail 4 of the paraglider, for example by carabiners not visible in the drawings.

Sur la selette 2 sont cousues deux sangles réglables 19,20, pour le passage et le maintien des cuisses de l'alpiniste. Une sangle ventrale 21 à fermeture rapide 22 permet de maintenir, en vol, les deux bretelles 9,10 correctement écartées. On the selette 2 are sewn two adjustable straps 19,20, for the passage and the maintenance of the thighs of the mountaineer. A ventral strap 21 with quick closure 22 keeps the two straps 9,10 correctly apart in flight.

Les bretelles 9,10 de la selette se prolongent, comme indiqué par des pointillés en 23,24, dans le dos 8 du sac et sur toute la hauteur de celui-ci, pour ressortir à sa partie supérieure et former les deux amorces de bretelles 13 et 14. De la sorte, après fixation dans les boucles 11,12, l'ensemble de la selette 2 et des bretelles 9,10,13,14 forme un seul bloc suspendu au parapente 5, la sécurité étant ainsi optimale. The straps 9,10 of the selette extend, as indicated by dotted lines in 23,24, in the back 8 of the bag and over the entire height of it, to stand out at its upper part and form the two straps primers 13 and 14. In this way, after fixing in the loops 11,12, the assembly of the selette 2 and the straps 9,10,13,14 forms a single block suspended from the paraglider 5, safety being thus optimal.

La partie sac à dos proprement dite comporte beaucoup d'éléments classiques, tels que les bretelles 15,16, la sangle ventrale 25, le petit compartiment supérieur 26 apte à recevoir par exemple une caméra, le dos anatomique 8, et les brides latérales réglables 27 aptes à maintenir en place le contenu du sac. De manière particulière, ce sac 1 comporte une poche ou compartiment inférieur 28 qui sert au logement de la selette 2 lorsqu'elle n'est pas utilisée: la figure 3 montre la selette 2 rangée dans ce compartiment 28, tandis que les figures 2 et 4 montrent cette selette sortie du compartiment 28 et déployée, prête à l'utilisation. The backpack part proper comprises many conventional elements, such as the shoulder straps 15,16, the ventral strap 25, the small upper compartment 26 capable of receiving, for example, a camera, the anatomical back 8, and the adjustable lateral straps 27 able to hold the contents of the bag in place. In particular, this bag 1 has a pocket or lower compartment 28 which is used to house the selette 2 when it is not used: FIG. 3 shows the selette 2 stored in this compartment 28, while FIGS. 2 and 4 show this selet out of compartment 28 and deployed, ready for use.

En plus de ce compartiment inférieur 28 et du petit compartiment supérieur 16, ce sac I comporte avantageusement deux autres grands compartiments superposés
- un compartiment 29, qui peut par exemple être utilisé pour ranger la voile 4 du parapente (figure 3),
- un compartiment 30, qui peut par exemple être utilisé pour ranger Toutes les affaires de l'alpiniste : matériel divers, effets personnels, nourriture....In addition to this lower compartment 28 and the small upper compartment 16, this bag I advantageously comprises two other large superimposed compartments
- a compartment 29, which can for example be used to store the sail 4 of the paraglider (FIG. 3),
- a compartment 30, which can for example be used to store all the mountaineer's belongings: various equipment, personal effects, food ...

L'invention n'est bien entendu pas limitée à l'exemple de réalisation qui vient d'être décrit. La selette 2 pourrait par exemple être fixée au dos 8 du sac de manière séparable.  The invention is of course not limited to the embodiment which has just been described. The selette 2 could for example be attached to the back 8 of the bag in a separable manner.
