Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a backpack with a ballistic insert.
  • the backpack defines a passage between the edge of the compartment opening and the flap in the closed position, and comprises a handle, hereinafter “pull handle”, attached to the apron, this handle making, in the stowed position of the apron and in the closed position of the flap, projecting outside the compartment through this passage.
  • backpack described in the preamble Such a backpack is called “backpack described in the preamble” in the following description.
  • the wearer opens the flap and pulls the apron out of the compartment. He can then position it against his chest.
  • This type of backpack is intended to be worn discreetly, especially by the police. It is important that the deck can be deployed quickly and that, in the deployed position, the deck provides maximum protection for the wearer.
  • An object of the present invention is to meet this need.
  • the invention provides a backpack with the features of claim 1. Such a backpack is able to protect the wearer from firing bullets or other ammunition.
  • the flap thus participates in the protection of the wearer.
  • the invention provides a backpack of the type described in the preamble, remarkable in that the apron straps have elasticity.
  • the wearer can thus move the apron from the edge of the compartment opening to create an opening, which allows the passage of the wearer's head, or "neckline".

  • such a backpack can thus be used by a wearer equipped with a helmet, for example a motorcycle helmet or a combat helmet.
  • a helmet for example a motorcycle helmet or a combat helmet.
  • the wearer releases the tension on the straps, which allows the apron to go up along the torso of the wearer, to his neck.
  • the upper part of the torso can be perfectly protected.
  • the elasticity of the straps of the apron is determined so as to elastically raise the apron towards the neck of the wearer once the wearer has ceased any traction on the traction handle, preferably until the apron is in contact with the the wearer's neck, preferably until pressing the wearer's neck.
  • the invention proposes a backpack of the type of that described in the preamble, remarkable in that it comprises a belt, called “apron belt”, fixed to the compartment, preferably so deactivatable, near the bottom of the compartment, preferably less than 30 cm, preferably less than 20 cm from said bottom, and adapted to be fixed, at least temporarily, in the deployed position on the deck.

  • the apron is then in the stowed position, the flap 6 being in the closed position, closing the opening 20 of the compartment 4.
  • the tabs of the deck are housed in the corresponding recesses of the rear face 14 of the compartment, which prevents the deck from deforms by leaning on the bottom of the compartment and allows to position the deck so as to facilitate its extraction from the compartment.
  • the pull handle protrudes out of the compartment 4, out of said compartment between the rear edge 34 of the flap and the edge of the compartment defining the opening 20.
  • the pull handle thus extends behind the head of the wearer.
  • the fasteners 60 and 62 are in the stapled position and the closures 40 and 42 are in the closed position.
  • the carrying handle is held against the compartment 4, preferably so that only the pull handle is accessible by the wearer.
  • the apron belt is stored in its housing, with the exception of its two free ends which protrude, to the right and left, respectively, so as to be easily grasped by the wearer.
  • the carrier catches the pull handle 58 and pulls it upwards. This traction leads, by the action of the apron, to the unclamping of the fasteners 60 and 62.
  • the fasteners being magnetic, a pull of one hand is enough to unclog them.
  • the fasteners 60 and 62 being in the ungraded position, the flap 6 tilts, under the effect of the exit of the apron out of the compartment, to the second open position. Under the effect of gravity, the flap falls, until held, suspended by the flap straps and the closures 40 and 42 (second open position). The flap being shielded, it can then protect the lower back, or even the buttocks of the wearer.
  • a second bulletproof apron preferably made of a material identical to the apron 50, is fixed on the front face or the rear face, preferably on the rear face of the backpack.
  • the second apron is shaped to provide NIJ-IIIA, NIJ-III or NIJ-IV protection, preferably at least one NIJ-III protection.
  • the flap extends the protection provided by the second bulletproof apron to protect the back of the wearer in the deployed position.
  • the apron straps that hold the apron on the compartment are stretched. Their elasticity then makes it possible to increase their length, and thus to increase the spacing between the apron and the opening of the compartment. It is then easy for the wearer to put the apron over his head and fold it over his chest, even if he wears a helmet or a motorcycle helmet.
  • the wearer After passing his head, the wearer down the apron so that it rests on his stomach.
  • the wings of the apron can then protect the sides of the wearer.
  • the elasticity of the straps of the apron is preferably determined so that the apron immediately back to the wearer's neck once the wearer has ceased any traction on the pull handle.
  • the wearer thus benefits from immediate protection of the upper part of his torso, a region that is particularly critical to protect.
  • the arrangement of the traction handle above the backpack makes it very easy to catch and, in cooperation with the elasticity of the straps, allows a particularly rapid deployment. Tests have shown that this deployment is possible in less than 2 seconds, which, to the knowledge of the inventors, is an unequaled performance.
  • the configuration of the traction handle allows the wearer to easily hold the apron on his stomach, which is particularly useful if the wearer must move, for example running, before he could fix the belt of the apron on the apron.
  • the rigidity of the pull handle is preferably determined so that the apron does not move laterally as the wearer runs while holding said pull handle.
  • the wearer then catches the free ends of the apron belt.
  • the wearer then pulls on the two free ends of the apron belt, which increases the length of the pieces of the apron belt protruding out of the sheath.
  • the wearer can then fold these pieces of the apron belt on the apron.
  • Velcro®-type Velcro fastening strips attached to said free ends and on the apron can then cooperate to effectively maintain the apron against the torso and the belly of the wearer.
  • the protection of the wearer is optimal, without the apron hinders his movements. Tests have also shown that the setting in the service position of the apron belt is possible in less than 2 seconds.
  • the front face of the apron comprises a sheath for a firearm.
  • the wearer can thus access his firearm as soon as the apron deployed.
  • the wearer can detach the flap and use it as a shield, especially to protect the face.
  • the vision holes allow him to continue to observe his environment.
  • a backpack according to the invention is very discreet in the stowed position of the apron, can be deployed extremely quickly, then provide effective protection, with great comfort, and especially in a back region which is not covered by the backpack compartment.
  • the invention is not limited to the embodiments described and shown, provided for descriptive and non-limiting purposes.
  • the number and shape of fasteners, closures, or pulling and carrying handles are not limiting.
  • the fasteners could be made using self-gripping Velcro® type strips or with snaps.
  • the backpack may also not have fasteners or closures.
  • the fasteners could also tie the apron and the flap, not the flap and the compartment.
  • closures 40 and 41 which are used to suspend the flap in the second open position, could also be replaced or supplemented by any other suspension member, for example by a strap binding the flap and the compartment.
