Description

VEST-BAG HYBRID

DESCRIPTION

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention refers to the branches of clothing and hand or travel items and more specifically to vest-bag or bag-vest hybrids.

STATE OF THE ART

There are many garments, mainly overcoats e.g. hunting vests, coats, jackets, which protect against the elements while having small storage spaces (pouches). These pouches are usually placed on the outer surface of clothing, visible to everyone, making them easily accessible by third parties and the wearer vulnerable to theft.

There are also many bags, mainly backpacks, that are worn across the body. Backpacks, also known as backpacks, are supported on the body with two straps that carry all the weight contained. This weight strains the points where these belts touch.

In addition, these bags are very often associated with a specific field of activities, for example an office bag, a backpack for sports activities or a computer bag. They rarely serve more than one need at the same time and are not intended for single use.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

In search of a garment that simultaneously covers both needs, that of clothing and that of storage, the hybrid jacket-bag was created. It is a multi-purpose item in the shape of a vest that at the same time functions as a storage unit while serving the need for protection from weather phenomena. It offers a new perspective on the well-known backpack<'>a mobile storage unit where none of its technical features are visible to third parties.

The vest-bag hybrid proposed consists of a single main body, essentially flat in shape. The main body includes an inner and outer part, of polygonal shape with two substantially parallel bases and on either side sides connecting the edges of the upper and lower bases, respectively. In the main body are defined two holes of elliptical shape and of a suitable size so that they can be penetrated by a human hand. The holes are symmetrically located near the junction of the upper base with the sides, respectively. The inner and outer parts are sewn around each other as well as around the holes so that the inner and outer parts form a storage chamber in the space between the holes. The seams are spaced to create one or more openings, not visible when the bag vest hybrid is extended. The vest-bag hybrid includes at least one opening along the upper base.

The vest-bag hybrid has at least two modes of operation:

In the first way, as a vest, it consists of three sections, the back section defined by the contour of the storage compartment on the inner and outer sections, and two arm sections, where each arm section is defined by the rest of the inner and outer sections around the elliptical hole. The hand modules may be symmetrical to each other in some embodiments.

In the second way, as a bag, it consists of two sections, formed by folding along the perpendicular that penetrates half of its upper and lower bases, so that the two elliptical holes coincide geometrically and form a common opening.

In some embodiments, the top of the vest may have a zipper, located in the seam that runs along the neck. The zipper of the storage compartment, or central storage area, can cover the entire length of the seam. By opening it, one gains access to a central storage space that occupies the entire inner surface of the vest. Built in there may be a case, e.g. for protection of electronic devices, which can be opened and closed with a zipper, made of flexible material, e.g. polyurethane foam (PU). From now on, this case will be called an electronic device protection case, although it can also be used for other storage purposes. Opposite it, there can be an even smaller compartment which can also be opened and closed with a zipper.

In some embodiments, at the bottom of the hybrid, along the seam there may be a hidden pleat that may consist of a zipper, which may cover up to about 2/4 of the length of the seam and is placed in the middle thereof. The existence of the fold gives the possibility of expanding the already existing central storage space. When the expansion zipper is opened, the fabric unfolds, increasing the bag's capacity.

In some embodiments, in the front part of the hybrid, along the vertical seams at the end of the vest and in the middle of them, two zippers may be placed parallel to each other, one facing the other, on either side respectively. Each zipper can open a pocket. These pockets can be independent. They are not required to be attached to the pouch which occupies the entire inner surface of the vest. Inside each pocket can be a fastening strap. When this strap is outside the pocket then it can be considered to be in the open position. Otherwise, it can be considered to be in a closed position. Whether the strap is in the closed or open position, the pocket can be zipped to keep its contents safe. Also, closing the zipper when the fastening strap is in the open position helps to stabilize the fastening strap. When the two fastening straps are connected, they can secure the bag to the body achieving its best fit. The connection of the fastening straps can be carried out either by tying them together, or by using different accessories such as buckles, magnets, clips, tridents, etc.. In the case of using these different accessories, one of the two fastening straps is applied oscillator (diatone).

Having these side pouches/pockets allows the user to access the contents of the bag (add and remove items) without having to remove it from their body.

In some embodiments, a bag resizing mechanism for the shoulder area may be placed on the rear portion of the hybrid, parallel to the zipper located on the upper portion of the vest. This mechanism can consist of two parts and its length is equal to the length of the zipper of the central storage space. The first part can be a sizing strap, attached at the height of the shoulder blade. The second part can be a folded diaton sizing strap, the two ends of which are attached in exactly the same place at the height of the shoulder blade, forming a loop. The strap on one side can penetrate the diaton making it possible to modify the size of the bag.

The vest-bag hybrid, due to its shape, can serve a wide range of activities: the same item can be used as an office bag, as a bag for transporting electronic devices (e.g. tablet, laptop), as a bag for walking the bike and so on while at the same time it also functions as a garment that protects the wearer from weather conditions. It protects the objects it contains as well as the body that carries them. The foam material that can be built into the inner case protects the electronic devices either from any abrasions or from a possible accident in the event of a fall. Also, because it is inside the vest, it also protects the wearer's back.

Having the shape of a vest, it fits around the body by distributing the weight it carries in more places than a common backpack. In this way, a more correct - anatomically - distribution of the weight on the body is made, thus protecting the wearer from strains and possible injuries.

The internal pockets, apart from an aesthetic/functional proposal, are also a measure of protection against the theft of the items stored in the bag since they are not visible.

For a more complete understanding of the invention, a description of a manufacturing method of an embodiment of the vest-bag hybrid follows:

Method of making example vest-bag hybrid

Note: All fasteners (hereafter "zippers") used are functional elements and not decorative.

In some embodiments the vest-bag hybrid includes an extension (outer pleat). To make a vest-bag hybrid with an extension, the following procedure is followed:

The element (E) is placed on the element (A), the inner view of which we see in Fig. 1 (INTA), so that (E1) coincides with (A13) and (E2) with (A14) . Grabbing the points (A13) — (E1) a straight seam is made up to the points (A15) and (E5), which are 1/4 of the distance (A13) — (A14) and (E1) — (E2). Now, between (A) and (E) one side of the extension zipper (102) is placed and sewn together with them in a straight line up to the points (A16) — (E6). The distance (A15) — (A16) and (E5) — (E6) is equal to the length of the extension zipper and covers 2/4 of (A13) — (A14) and (E1) — (E2) respectively. Finally, the straight seam of (A) and (E) continues from (A16) — (E6) to (A14) — (E2).

In the same way, element (B), whose inner view is also shown in figure 4 (INTB), is placed on element (E) so that (B14) coincides with (E3) and (B13) with (E4). In detail, grasping the points (B14) — (E3) a straight line is sewn up to the points (B16) and (E7), which are located at 1/4 of the distance (B14) — (B13) and (E3) — (E4). Now, between (B) and (E) the other side of the extension zipper (102) is placed, which is sewn together with them in a straight line up to the points (B15) — (E8). The distance (B16) — (B15) and (E7) — (E8) is equal to the length of the extension zipper and covers 2/4 of (B14) — (B13) and (E3) — (E4) respectively. Finally, the straight seam of (B) and (E) continues from (B15) — (E8) to (B13) — (E4).

For the construction of the side pockets, the following procedure is followed:

As shown in Fig. 3, in development (A) (INTA), element (Z) is placed so that point (Z2) is in contact with (A13) and point (Z1) is half the distance (A11 )-(A13). In this way, element (Z) rests entirely on element (A). (H) is placed on top of (Z). The two elements, (Z) and (H), are sewn around the perimeter with the point (Z1) coinciding with (H1) and (Z2) with (H2). This creates the first side pocket. Accordingly, the element (K) is placed on the line (A12)~(A14) so that the point (K2) is tangent to (A14) and (K1) is at half the distance (A12) — (A14) . Accordingly, element (K) rests entirely on element (A). Element (I) is placed on top of (K). The two elements, (K) and (I), are sewn around the perimeter with the point (K1) coinciding with (11) and (K2) with (I2). This creates the second side pocket. So the straight part between edges 1 and 2 in each figure (Z-H, K-I) is currently not joined by a seam.

For the fastening straps, the following procedure is followed:

As shown in Fig. 4, element (200) is folded in half and sewn around the perimeter so that point (201) coincides with (203) and (202) with (204). The folding results in two new points, (205) located on the straight segment (201 )-(203) and (206), located on (202)-(204). A fastening strap is created in this way. The same happens with element (300), which is similarly sewn around the perimeter so that point (301) coincides with (303) and (302) with (304). Correspondingly, two new edges are created here, the point (305) located on the straight segment (301)-(303) and the point (306) located on the straight segment (302)-(304).

The fastening strap (300) is placed on the inner side of the element (Z) with the edge (306) coinciding with (Z1) and the edge (302) touching the line (Z1) — (Z2). One side of the first side pocket zipper (103) (which also functions as a first side strap concealment zipper) is placed between the element (Z) and the fastening strap (300). Item (A), item (G), front side pocket zipper and fastening strap are stitched together. Accordingly, the fixing and adjustment belt (200) is placed on the inner side of the element (K) with the edge (206) coinciding with (K1) and the edge (202) touching the line (K1) — (K2). One side of the second side pocket zipper (104) (which also functions as a second side strap concealment zipper) is placed between the (K) element and the strap (200). Item (A), item (K), second side pocket zipper and fastening and adjustment strap are stitched together.

One part of the clasp (350) and the adjuster (370) are applied to the fastening strap (300). An adjuster (270) and the other part of the clasp (250) are applied to the fixing and adjusting strap (200). Therefore, when the item is used as a vest (Fig. 16) and the straps are clipped together, they act like a seat belt by securing it to the body. While in the case that the object is used as a bag, the straps can be placed inside the pockets so that they are not visible (as shown in Fig. 5).

To create the inner pockets, such as the protective case for electronic devices, the following procedure is followed:

For elements Y and X, special technology material can be used, ideal for absorbing shocks and protecting electronic devices from abrasions and possible damage in the context of normal use. This material provides adequate ventilation to avoid intense sweating and has anatomical properties. An example of such a material is 3mm thick high-density polyurethane (PU) foam made of 100% polyester due to its flexibility and ability to be sewn. The flexibility allows the material to be folded so the vest can be turned into a bag. The material must be able to be sewn because we use the seam as a means of connection that creates the smallest possible volume for the protective case of electronic devices. Nevertheless, other methods of connecting the various parts can be used depending on the needs of the application, such as e.g. gluing.

As shown in Fig. 3, element (X) is placed on element (Y) in such a way that (Y1) coincides with (X1), (Y2) with (X2), (Y3) with (X3) and (Y4) with (X4). We join them starting with a seam that follows the following path: from edge (1) to edge (3), from (3) to (4) and from (4) to (2). In this way, a pocket is created.

The vest-bag hybrid can also incorporate a lining which is created following the following process:

As shown in Fig. 3, the fold (A) (INDA) can be creased between the points (A3) and (A4) thus bringing the points (A1) and (A2) inside the fold. Item O is placed on top of item (A). In element (O) a crease can be made between points (O3) and (O4) so that points (O1) and (O2) rest on the inside of element (A). Edge (O5) coincides with (A5) and edge (06) coincides with (A6). We continue applying edge (O3) to (A1) and edge (04) to (A2). There, between item (A) and item (O) is placed one side of the central storage zipper (101). All elements ((A), (101), (O)) run through a straight seam that joins them together.

The electronic device protection case is placed on the line (O7) — (O8), with the edge (Y1) located at 1/4 of the distance (O7)-(O8) and the edge (Y2) at 3/4 of the same distance. Between (Y) and (O) one side of the electronic device protection case zipper (106) with a size equal to the distance (Y1) — (Y2) is placed. The three elements are joined by stitching.

The element (P) is placed on the side X with the line (P1) — (P2) tangent to (X1) — (X2) with the edge (X1) at 1/4 of the distance (P1) — ( P2) and the edge (X2) at 3/4 of the same distance. Between (X) and (P) is placed the other side of the electronic device protection case zipper (106) with a size equal to the distance (X1) — (X2). The three elements are joined by stitching.

Element (P) joins element (O) at points (P5) to (07) and (P6) to (O8). Points (P5) and (P6) have been placed at half the height of (P).

From (P1) starts a straight seam that ends at 1/4 of the distance (P1) — (P2) where the electronic device protection case zipper starts. At the point where the zipper ends, i.e. at 3/4 of the distance (P1) — (P2), a straight seam also begins that ends at point (P2).

The vest-bag hybrid may additionally include internal pockets, e.g. a small pocket that can be created by following the procedure below:

As shown in Fig. 4, in conjunction with Fig. 1, the element (600) is placed on (N) with the edge (601) located at 1/3 of the distance (N1) — (N2) and the edge (602) to be at 2/3 of the same distance. Then a straight line is sewn on (N) from the edge (601) to the edge (603). The seam continues in section (603) — (604) and (604) — (602). Between (N) (points (N1) and (N2)) and (600) (points (601) and (602)) place one side of the small inner pocket zipper (105). The three elements are joined by stitching.

In element (M) the other side of the zipper of the small inner pocket (105) is sewn in a straight line in the line (M7) — (M8). Its beginning is located at 1/3 of the distance (M7) — (M8) and its end at 2/3 of the same distance.

Element (M) is placed on element N at points (M7) to (N5) and (M8) to (N6). Elements (N5) and (N6) have been placed at half the height of (N). From (N1) starts a straight seam that ends at 1/3 of the distance (N1) — (N2) where the small inner pocket zipper starts. At the point where the zipper of the small inner pocket ends, i.e. at 2/3 of the distance (N1) — (N2), a straight seam also begins that ends at the point (N2).

The vest-bag hybrid may contain lining as an inner pleat created by the following process:

Element (T) joins element N, in notches N3 and N4. N3 joins T1 and N4 joins T2 respectively. Between them a seam is made around the perimeter (following the shape of the N) from N3 to N4.

Element T also joins element P, in notches P3 and P4. In detail, P3 coincides with T4 and P4 with T3. A seam is made that starts and ends at the aforementioned notches around the perimeter (and follows the shape of P).

At the end, the notches N3 and N4 are joined with the notches P4 and P3 respectively and the T element acts as an inner pleat. The union of the three elements (N, T and P) results in a case.

All elements can then be joined by following the procedure below:

As shown in Fig. 4, in element (B) (INTB) a crease can be made between points B3 and B4 thus bringing points (B1) and (B2) inside the unfolding. Element (B) is placed on top of (M) in such a way that (B5) coincides with (M5) and (B6) with (M6). In element (M) a crease is made between points (M3) and (M4) so that points (M1) and (M2) touch the inside of element (B). Then edge (B1) applies to (M3) and edge (B2) to (M4). Between them is placed the other side of the central storage zipper (101). All elements ((B), (101), (M)) run through a straight seam that joins them together.

Element (B) touches point (B14) with point (H2) and point (B13) with point (I2). On top of element (H) is placed the other side of the first side pocket zipper (103). One edge of the first side pocket zipper coincides with point (H2) and the other with (H1). Elements ((B), (H) and (103)) are stitched together. This seam runs around the perimeter of the development joining element (A) with (B). In more detail, point (B12) coincides with (A11), (B10) with (A9), (B8) with (A7), (B6) with (A5) and (B4) with the (A3).

Similarly in the second part, on the element I the other side of the second side pocket zipper (104) is placed. One edge of the second side pocket zipper coincides with point (I2) while the other with (11). Elements ((B), (I), (104)) are joined by a seam that continues along the perimeter of the development. In more detail, point (B11) coincides with (A12), (B9) with (A10), (B7) with (A8), (B5) with (A6) and (B3) with the (A4).

To complete the bag-vest hybrid version 1 can be followed in which point (B4) joins point (B10) and point (B6) joins point (B8). Likewise on the other side, point (B5) joins point (B7) and (B3) joins point (B9). These joints, on either side, create the shape of the vest. Between the points, seams are made that hold the sections (B8)-(B10) and (B6)-(B4) together. The same happens with sections (B7)-(B9) and (B5)-(B3).

Equivalently, version 2 can be followed in which point (A5) joins point (B8) and point (A3) joins point (B10). Likewise on the other side, point (A6) joins point (B7) and (A4) joins point (B9). These joints, on either side, create the shape of the vest. Between the points, seams are made that hold the section (A5) — (A3) and (B8) — (B10) together. The same happens with the section (A4) — (A6) and (B9) — (B7).

Similarly, version 3 can be followed in which point (B4) joins point (A9) and point (B6) joins point (A7). Likewise on the other side, point (B5) joins point (A8) and (B3) joins point (A10). These joints, on either side, create the shape of the vest. Between the points, seams are made that hold the sections (A3) — (A5) and (B10) — (B8) together. The same happens with sections (B7)-(B9) and (B5)-(B3).

To fit a sizing strap, follow the procedure below:

Element (400) is folded in half and sewn around so that point (401) coincides with (403) and (402) with (404). The folding results in two new points, (405) located on the straight segment (401)-(403) and (406), located on (402)-(404). This creates a sizing belt. The same happens with element (500), which is similarly sewn around the perimeter so that point (501) coincides with (503) and (502) with (504). Correspondingly, two new edges are created here, the point (505) located on the straight segment (501)-(503) and (506) located on the straight segment (502)-(504).

On the sizing belt (500) the diatone (570) is applied 1/2 the distance (501 )-(502). Fold the sizing strap (500) so that (501) lines up with (502) and (505) lines up with (506). The strap, which has been folded, is placed and sewn to the outer face of the element (B) (EXTB), with the edge (501) being 1/10 of the distance of the line (B5)-(B6) away from (B5) ).

Accordingly, the adjustment belt (400) is placed and sewn to the outer face of the element (B) (EXTB), with the edge (402) being 1/10 of the distance of the straight line (B5) from (B6)-( B6). Then the edges (401) and (405) of the sizing strap (400) pass through the diaton (570) resulting in the ability to resize the vest to best fit each wearer's body. The resizing strap has a dual functionality: on the one hand, changing the size of the vest (as we mentioned above) and on the other hand, changing (increasing) the length of the strap and thus the height the bag stands when the user wears it like a shoulder bag.

Additional Modes - Alternative Implementations

Due to the large number of its complementary elements, the hybrid jacket bag can exist in various variations.

As for the zippers, they can be either one-way or two-way (preferred) to facilitate the use of the item in parallel by right-handed and left-handed people. Also, zipper stoppers can be added to the zipper of the central storage space and to the zipper of the extension so as to ensure the least possible wear on the points where these two zippers are applied and to contribute to a better retention of parts (A), ( E) and (B).

Regarding the ways of connecting the straps, there are the following variations: either the straps can be tied together, or they can be connected using different accessories such as buckles, magnets, clips, tridents. In the case of the use of different parts, a diatone (amplifier) is applied to each belt.

The jacket-bag hybrid (hybrid jacket bag) turns into a shoulder bag (Fig.

16) in the following way: vertically folding elements (A) and (B) on the axis of symmetry so that point (B12) coincides with point (B11) and point (B14) with point (B13). In this way, the openings where the user can put his hand through and hang the bag on the shoulder also coincide. The line (B12)-(B14) can be placed in front so that the user of the article has access to the pockets resulting from the connection of the parts (Z)-(H) and (I)-(K).

The hybrid jacket bag turns into a shoulder bag in another way: by passing the user's hand through the size adjustment strap, he can support the bag on his shoulder and at the desired height, as we mentioned and previously.

Figures 17 and 18 illustrate variations of a vest-bag hybrid with hood storage on the exterior of element (B) (EXTB). The hood pocket can be located under the sizing straps (400) and (500) and closes with a zipper. Opening it releases a hood made of waterproof material.

Another alternative form is the one with the addition of sleeves as shown in Fig. 19. A zipper is placed around the openings that exist in element (B) and are created by the connections of the following points: (B4)-(B10) , (B6) -(B8), (B5)-(B7) and (B3)-(B9). Placing the zip at the above points creates an extra storage space where the waterproof material sleeves will be compressed. By opening each zipper, the sleeve unfolds, turning the vest into a jacket.
