Definitions

• the invention relates to a backpack-like carrying device, as e.g. are used for hiking, cycling and gorge snowboard tours.
• Conventional generic devices are usually designed as backpacks made of solid textile material, on the front of which a padded hip belt is attached in the area of the lower end, with a central section sewn to the bag and side sections projecting beyond the side edges of the bag, the ends of which are connected by a buckle. are also bindable, for example two firm strips of padding running along the edges of the front against the upper end, which stiffen the carrying device somewhat and which space the front from the back of the user, which allows air circulation and thus reduces the development and accumulation of sweat.
• the shoulder straps connect at the top to the ends of the cushion strips, while their lower ends e.g. are fastened directly to the side of the sack on the hip belt.
• Carriers of this type are not very suitable for carrying relatively large and heavy objects that cannot be stored in the backpack, but must be fastened to the outside, in particular the back, such as snowboards or snowshoes, skis, ski boots or helmets, since the said objects are only on the flexible Sack are connected to the waist belt and the shoulder straps and therefore their position is not reliably fixed in relation to these parts that are firmly attached to the user. It can therefore easily happen that the object, for example a snowboard, moves or twists. This can result in an incorrect load on the back and consequently painful tension, and the object can also collide with the head or legs of the user. Since the sack can also be opened at the back, its contents are difficult to access if an object of the type mentioned is attached there. Often the same must be removed before the sack can be opened.
• a carrying device which consists of two superimposed box-like modules, of which the upper on the front carries vertical strips and shoulder straps and the lower one a padded waist belt.
• the two modules are connected by a ball joint. Because of the mobility of the upper module compared to the lower module, this device is also not suitable for attaching larger objects to the outside. In addition, the subdivision has the disadvantage that longer objects cannot be stowed inside the carrying device.
• the invention is based on the object of improving a generic carrying device to the extent that it is also suitable for carrying larger objects fastened to the outside.
• the carrying device according to the invention makes it possible to fasten even larger objects such as snowboards or snowshoes, skis, ski boots, helmets, etc., in such a way that their position relative to parts fixed to the user, such as the waist belt, is essentially fixed. Collisions of one of the said objects with the body of the user and the resulting injuries or disabilities are largely prevented.

• the carrying device according to the invention (Fig. 1-3) has a rigid plastic shell Support frame on, with a carrier 1, which is designed as a substantially flat, slightly forward-curved wall on the sides. In the normal position of the carrying device shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, which it assumes both vertically and when it is parked on the floor and when it is being carried, it is inclined slightly forward.

• a bar 3 is attached to each of the extensions 2a, b.
• the strips 3 form a hip holder, to which a padded hip belt 4 is attached, the inside of which forms a contact surface. It has a central section lying between the strips 3, to which the one-piece side sections adjoin on both sides, the ends of which are detachably connected by a hip buckle 5.
• shoulder support 6 which is also integral with it, is approximately 20 cm long and is slightly inclined upwards and projects forward.

• Contact surface forms, padded and carries there on both sides of the ball joint 7 a shoulder strap arrangement, consisting of a padded upper flange 9 and a lower flange 10 and a buckle 11, which connects them.
• the lower flange 10 is fastened to the buckle 11 in such a way that the length of the section thereof lying between the anchoring on the shoulder holder 8 and the buckle 11 is adjustable.
• the total length of the loop formed by the upper chord 9 and said section of the lower chord 10 can thus be adjusted and can be adapted to the needs of the user. It is usually dimensioned in such a way that it passes relatively over the shoulder and under the armpits. As a result, it gives the carrying device a secure fit, which leaves it little freedom for uncontrolled movements. Because of the ball joint 7, however, the mobility of the user is not significantly restricted thereby.
• the first setting is cheaper, for example when climbing with a snowboard attached to the carrying device, because the backward pull on the shoulder is somewhat reduced and the supporting structure is more closely attached to the user.
• the fact that the mobility of the back is more restricted hardly disturbs the ascent.
• the second setting is more suitable for the descent because the mobility of the back is hardly restricted.
• the lower flange 10 is fixed to the buckle 11 in such a way that it cannot move by pull alone, but only by user intervention. With both training courses, the two can Shoulder strap assemblies can be detachably connected by a front chest strap.
• the space between the carrier 1 and the spaced-apart mounts, the hip holder and the shoulder holder 8, the carrier 1, the extensions 2a; b of the hip support and the roof-like shoulder support 6, which together form an integral shell-like part, partially enclosed is, but is largely freely accessible from the front and the sides, is partly filled by a sack 12, which is fastened, for example with straps, to the carrier 1, on the front of which it rests and also sits on the bent-in bottom portions of the extensions 2a, b. It is dimensioned in such a way that it does not completely fill the said space, so that it is spaced from the back of the user everywhere. It has, so that at the front of an example, by a zipper closable opening '13 may be content with removed supporting device is instantly accessible, regardless of whether articles 1 are fastened to the back of the carrier or not. It can also have separate pockets accessible from the sides.
• the carrier 1 has a transverse fastening belt 14 and 15 on the back in the region of the upper end and the lower end.
• the fastening straps 14, 15 can be used to fasten larger objects such as snowboards, skis, snowshoes, ski boots, helmets, a sack or a container, etc. to the supporting structure and thus to fasten them securely and essentially without play.
• Another fastening strap 17 is attached to the top of the shoulder rest 6.
• 6 fastening straps can also be provided on the side of the shoulder rest. In this case, ski can also be tied on the side.
• the ball joint 7 between the shoulder rest 6 and the shoulder bracket 8 is shown in FIG. 6.
• the shoulder rest 6 has a shell 18 in the center, which forms a concave, spherical cap-shaped outer joint surface.
• a head 19 is formed on the shoulder bracket 8, which forms a corresponding hemispherical convex inner articular surface, which rests on the outer articular surface, but is somewhat larger, so that the head 19 can be rotated relative to the shell 18 over a limited solid angle.
• the inner articular surface has a circular recess 20, from the edges of which a cone-shaped wall 21 extends. The wall 21 breaks off below the tip of the cone, so that there there is a hole located approximately in the center of the inner articular surface, which is opposite a hole in the middle of the shell 18.
• the abutment 23 on the outside of the shell 18 is designed to be displaceable on the connecting part 22, for example as a nut with an internal thread, which engages with a thread on the connecting part 22.

• the carrier can be perforated like a frame or the shoulder rest can be designed like a bow. If no larger object is attached to the carrier, the sack can also be accessed from behind or from above and, especially when it is very full, can also protrude backwards or upwards above the carrier. It is also possible to provide bags of different sizes for replacement, with a frame-like design Carrier, for example, a smaller sack for day tours that does not protrude from the back of the carrier and thus does not hinder the attachment of a larger object there, and a larger one for multi-day tours that protrudes on the back. In the latter case, larger items may only be attached to the sides of the carrier.
