Definitions

  • the invention relates to a backpack and in particular to a backpack hydration, for example for hiking or mountain, especially for sportsmen, such as runners or followers of orientation races.
  • the backpacks comprise a main dorsal pouch of flexible material contiguous to a back portion of rigid material, said main pocket being intended to receive a load and possibly being associated with a plurality of inner or outer secondary pockets.
  • the dorsal main pocket forms the body of the backpack and is held in place by two carrying straps.
  • the straps are attached to the back portion from which the volume of the dorsal main pouch extends outwardly in the loaded state.
  • the height adjustment of the backpack can be performed by varying the length of the carrying straps through loops and loops leaving free and hanging ends of the shoulder straps.
  • the hydration backpacks are for example used as a hydration backpack for the transport of liquids.
  • the hydration backpacks are designed to hydrate the wearer easily during the practice of sport such as cycling, jogging, rollerblading ...
  • the hydration backpack contains a fluid reservoir whose liquid is accessible to the wearer by suction on a nozzle mounted on a suction tube which extends through an opening on the top of said fluid reservoir.
  • the wearer can drink the liquid contained in the fluid reservoir on demand.
  • the backpack described in the application EP-A-1745719 , comprises a main dorsal pocket formed by two flexible panels.
  • the first base panel integrates the two shoulder straps.
  • the second outer panel can be fitted to the first base panel by means of adjustment means arranged on the back portion of the bag, therefore not very accessible when the bag is worn.
  • the back portion of rigid material is not adapted to the morphology of the wearer, which can cause discomfort during the effort thereof.
  • the load tends to accumulate in the bottom of the main dorsal pocket, so that it is more difficult to maintain in place during the movement of the user, and can bounce or move laterally on the back of it.
  • loops and loops for adjusting the height of the backpack are abrasive parts that can rub and hang the user's clothing, causing premature wear.
  • the present invention therefore aims to provide an improved rucksack which at least partially solves the aforementioned drawbacks by presenting a better comfort and being adapted to the body of the user to no longer represent an inconvenience for it by allowing a better distribution weight of the load and providing better evacuation of perspiration between the back of the user and the backpack.
  • the subject of the invention is a backpack comprising a dorsal main pocket intended to receive a load and carrying shoulder straps configured to position and maintain said main dorsal pocket on the shoulders of a user, characterized in that said main dorsal pocket is formed by the joining of a first base panel of flexible material, intended to be in contact with the body of the user and a second outer panel also of flexible material, said first base panel being extending at the ends of said main dorsal pocket to form two closed side loops for the passage of the arms of said user, forming said shoulder straps.
  • the backpack slips onto the wearer's back like a vest or jacket.
  • the shoulder straps in closed side loops maintain the load of the main dorsal pocket by wrapping it against the back of the user.
  • the backpack then adapts to the body morphology of the user, which facilitates the freedom of movement thereof.
  • the backpack then follows the mobility of the human body, so that the posture and balance of the body are not affected by the weight of the load.
  • the main dorsal pouch made entirely of flexible material allows that in the loaded state, it deforms against the back of the user by promoting the circulation of air between the bag and the back of the wearer, reducing the sweating of the wearer during an effort.
  • the backpack is less abrasive because the first base panel has no abrasive element in contact with the clothes of the user.
  • the shoulder straps in closed side loops are continuously formed in the base panel so that the number of loops and loops directly in contact with the clothes of the user is reduced.
  • the first base panel may have a generally heart-shaped generally whose notched portion is located at a neckline from which said carrying straps originate.
  • the shoulder straps can join a dorsal portion of the first base panel, at a lower region, forming an angle of less than 30 ° with a substantially horizontal line.
  • the almost horizontal projection of the straps allows a better stability of the load, especially when the user practices the race.
  • the main dorsal pocket has at least a first compartment and a second compartment, said first compartment of the main back pocket being formed by the joining of the first base panel with an intermediate panel of the second outer panel and the second compartment being formed by the join of the intermediate panel with a side envelope and a retaining panel of the second outer panel, said adjustment means being carried by holding arms of the retaining panel.
  • the second outer panel fits on said first base panel at a zone intended to be in contact with the shoulders of the user and said backpack further comprises means for adjusting said second outer panel on said first base panel in said area.

  • the adjustment means are arranged on the outside of the carrying straps and therefore do not come into contact with the clothes of the user. They are further arranged at the shoulders of the user to be more easily accessible by it while the backpack is worn. This ensures a good distribution of volume in the back of the user. In the example of a hydration backpack, it is thus ensured that even when half empty, the fluid reservoir does not remain at the bottom of the back of the user.
