Definitions

• the present invention relates to a bag for the transport of articles, for example of the type of identity papers, checkbooks, train tickets and aircraft.
• the bags used for transporting such articles have the disadvantage of not being equipped with elaborate security systems to reduce or even annihilate any risk of burglary. Indeed, in most of these bags, just open a Zipper ® (registered trademark) or disable a snap system for example to access the different items. An experienced fraudster can easily empty the contents of the bag without the person with the latter noticing it.
• the present invention aims to remedy this disadvantage, and for this purpose consists of a bag for the transport of articles, for example of the type of identity papers, checkbooks, train tickets and aircraft, characterized in that it comprises a first component and a second component attached to one another and provided with pockets or housings, and in that it comprises at least one lace forming a handle, this lace being, on the one hand, suitable for slide through at least one guide means equipping the first component, and secondly, connected to the second component.
• such a bag is particularly advantageous insofar as it allows the transport of essential travel items, namely identity cards, passports, checkbooks or tickets for example, while having a minimum footprint.
• a bag according to the invention could comprise partitions sandwiched between the first flap and the second flap, these different elements were joined to each other in the manner of a booklet. It would then be enough to spare carnations in the various partitions to allow the passage of or lace (s).
• the bag is made from a single flexible panel decomposing into two parts after folding around a hinge line. In the case where the bag has no lateral bellows connecting the two flaps together, it follows that the location of the hinge line along the panel may vary depending on the size of the items stored in each flap.
• Such a bag then has the advantage of having a modular storage volume that adapts to the shapes and dimensions of the items transported.
• the panel has a substantially rectangular shape.
• the general shape of each shutter obtained after folding the panel around the hinge line whose location along the panel is a function of the stored items, is also rectangular.
• the two flaps are connected to one another by means of a flexible strip forming a hinge zone between the two flaps.
• a flexible strip forming a hinge zone between the two flaps.
• each lace has two free ends each slid through an associated guide means equipping the first flap.
• the two free ends of the lace are fixed in the second flap.
• each free end of the lace is slipped through a slot bu an eyelet formed in the second flap.
• Each free end can then be advantageously provided with at least one attachment element projecting from the bag and to which an article can be attached.
• This article may for example consist of a mobile phone, and an important advantage lies in the fact that the wearer of the bag does not need to detach the phone from the attachment means to use said phone. Indeed, he just take the phone to his face by sliding the free end to which it is attached through the slot or the corresponding eyelet. The bag is then made to press against the body of the wearer and to make a lift along the body. This ultimately eliminates any risk of fraudulent opening of the bag, even when the wearer's attention is diverted. In addition, the risk of theft the pull of the mobile phone is minimized since it is permanently linked to the bag.
• each lace forms a closed loop passing through, on the one hand, at least one guide means equipping the first flap, and on the other hand, at least two eyelets formed in the second flap.
• each guide means equipping the first component is made using an eyelet or a passer.
• the two corners of the first flap are each equipped with a guide means, and the lace is connected to the second flap in the vicinity of its two corners.
• one of the two components is equipped with at least one strip of fabric capable of cooperating, in the manner of a Velcro ® (registered trademark), with at least one fabric ribbon integral with the other component.
• the lace is equipped with at least one locking device capable of blocking the sliding of said lace.
• Figure 1 is a perspective view of a bag according to the first embodiment of the invention, in the open state;
• Figure 2 is a partial perspective view of the bag shown in Figure 1, once closed.
• FIG. 3 is a view similar to that of FIG. 2, with the addition of a closure system of the Velcro ® (registered trademark) type;
• Figure 4 is a partial perspective view of another bag according to the first embodiment of the invention, once closed;
• Figure 5 is a perspective view of a bag according to the second embodiment of the invention, once closed;
• Figure 6 is a perspective view of another bag according to the invention, in the open state.
• a bag 1 according to the invention is obtained from a single panel 2 of rectangular shape.
• This panel 2 is flexible, and is preferably made of leather or plastic.
• the panel 2 has an outer face 3 without storage, and an inner face 4 on which flexible strips 5 are reported and then fixed by welding at the edge of said panel 2 to define housing in which articles 6 can be stored.
• the panel 2 is adapted to be folded on itself along a hinge line 7 whose location is variable along said panel 2 according to the shape and dimensions of the articles 6 introduced.
• the panel 2 is then decomposed into a first flap 8 and a second flap 9 both of rectangular shape.
• the inner face 4 of the first flap 8 has two end wedges in the vicinity of which are formed two loops 10 each constituting a guide means for a lace 11 forming a loop and having two free ends 12.
• the second flap 9 also has two end corners in the vicinity of each of which is formed an eyelet 13 for the passage of the two free ends 12 of the lace 11. Each of these is then tied on itself to form a protrusion 14 able to abut against the eyelet 13 corresponding.
• the bag 1 being previously closed, the spacing of the two flaps 8, 9 of each other results in a sliding of the lace 11 through the loops 10 since the protrusions 14 can not pass through the eyelets 13. This sliding therefore causes the narrowing of the snare, which causes the bag 1 to go up the body of the person during the opening phase. It is therefore easy for the wearer of the bag 1 to detect an attempt to fraudulently open the latter.
• I 1 could have been fixed in the second flap 9, for example by welding or gluing, without the general operation of the bag 1 has been changed.
• this bag 1 is equipped with an additional closure system made using a strip of fabric 15 secured to the first flap 8 and capable of cooperating, in the manner a
• Velcro ® registered trademark
• the advantage of this system lies in the fact that a covering surface between the fabric strip 15 and the 16 fabric ribbon will always be present, regardless of the location of the hinge line
• Another bag 21 according to the invention differs from the bag 1 mainly in that, on the one hand, each of the two eyelets 13 has been replaced by a slot 22 in order to facilitate the sliding of the lace 11, and secondly, each of the two ends 12 of the lace 11 is equipped with an attachment element 24 of the carabiner type, ring or cord for example. It is then in particular possible to hang a mobile phone or keys to these fasteners 24. In the more specific case of the mobile phone, an important advantage lies in the fact that the holder of the bag 21 has not need to detach the phone from the attachment means 24 to use said phone.
• a bag 31 according to the second preferred embodiment of the invention differs mainly from the bag 1 in that it is equipped with a lace 32 forming a closed loop. A portion 33 of this lace 32 is then caused to extend between the two eyelets 13 of the second flap 9, and allows the second flap 9 to be pressed even more effectively against the first flap 8 when the bag 31 is closed.
• This bag 31 is advantageously equipped with a locking device 34 able to block the sliding of said lace 32.
• This locking device 34 may be momentarily deactivated by pressing on the heads 35, which has the effect of releasing the orifices 37 provided for the passage of the lace 32.
• FIG. 6 a last embodiment of a bag 41 according to the invention is shown in FIG. 6.
• This bag 41 differs mainly from the bag 1 in that, on the one hand, two central eyelets 42, 43 respectively made in the first shutter 8 and the second shutter 9 have replaced the loops 10 and the eyelets 13, and on the other hand, the lace 44 has a first end 45 equipped with a fastening means 46 as described above, and a second end 47 fixed for example by gluing or welding in the first component 8.
• this bag 41 is less advantageous than the bags 1, 21, 31 since the lace 44 does not make it possible to press the second flap 9 as effectively against the first flap 8.
• a bag according to the invention could comprise several independent laces adapted to cooperate with slots or associated eyelets practiced in the different parts of said bag.
