Description

L'invention concerne un sac à dos agencé pour le portage d'une paire de skis.The invention relates to a backpack arranged for carrying a pair of skis.

Lorsque l'on pratique la randonnée en haute montagne, c'est-à-dire dans la neige, il est indispensable que le skieur, nécessairement équipé d'un sac à dos, puisse également porter ses skis.When hiking in high mountains, that is to say in the snow, it is essential that the skier, necessarily equipped with a backpack, can also carry his skis.

A l'origine, le randonneur plaçait les skis à l'horizontale au sommet du sac (voir par exemple document FR-A-2 278 289). Cette solution si elle est simple, présente toutefois l'inconvénient d'être encombrante et instable.Originally, the hiker placed the skis horizontally at the top of the bag (see for example document FR-A-2 278 289). This solution if it is simple, however has the disadvantage of being bulky and unstable.

On a alors proposé de ménager à cet effet de chaque côté du sac, une poche latérale verticale, dans laquelle on engage un ski. Cette solution conduit à un portage moins instable, mais présente l'inconvénient qu'au cours de la marche, les talons du ski viennent frotter ou buter contre les cuisses ou les mollets du skieurs, ce qui à la longue le blesse (voir par exemple documents EP-A-0 127 556 et DE-A-2 655 151).It was then proposed to provide for this purpose on each side of the bag, a vertical side pocket, in which a ski is engaged. This solution leads to less unstable carrying, but has the disadvantage that during walking, the heels of the ski rub or abut against the thighs or calves of the skiers, which in the long run hurts (see for example documents EP-A-0 127 556 and DE-A-2 655 151).

L'invention pallie ces inconvénients. Elle vise un sac à dos perfectionné qui assure un excellent portage d'une paire de skis attachés, de manière stable, efficace, fiable et d'un encombrement réduit.The invention overcomes these drawbacks. It aims for an improved backpack which ensures excellent carrying of a pair of attached skis, in a stable, efficient, reliable and compact way.

Ce sac à dos perfectionné, agencé pour le portage d'une paire de skis attachés ensemble, du type comprenant un dos, un harnais de portage avec des bretelles, et un sac proprement dit avec un fond, une face avant opposée au dos et un chapeau de fermeture, et dans lequel le bas de la face avant du sac, présente une sangle en forme de boucle, disposée au voisinage du plan de symétrie longitudinal du sac, se caractérise :

  • d'une part, en ce que la sangle en forme de boucle a une longueur développée sensiblement supérieure à deux fois la largeur des skis et à deux fois leur épaisseur, de manière à permettre le passage de la paire de skis, de sorte que, lors du portage, l'arrière de la talonnière de la fixation de sécurité vienne s'appuyer contre ladite boucle ;
  • et d'autre part, en ce que le haut du sac comporte un moyen destiné à enserrer la paire de skis entre le haut de la talonnière de la fixation et la spatule.
This improved backpack, designed to carry a pair of skis tied together, of the type comprising a back, a carrying harness with suspenders, and a bag proper with a bottom, a front face opposite the back and a closure cap, and in which the bottom of the front face of the bag, has a loop-shaped strap, disposed in the vicinity of the longitudinal plane of symmetry of the bag, is characterized :
  • on the one hand, in that the loop-shaped strap has a developed length substantially greater than twice the width of the skis and twice their thickness, so as to allow the passage of the pair of skis, so that, during carrying, the rear of the heel of the safety binding comes to bear against said buckle;
  • and on the other hand, in that the top of the bag includes a means intended to grip the pair of skis between the top of the heel of the binding and the tip.

En d'autres termes, l'invention consiste à ménager sur l'avant du sac à dos, d'une part, une boucle fixe verticale disposée au milieu du bas du sac, pour recevoir la paire de skis qui vient buter par les talonnières de la fixation de sécurité, et d'autre part, sur le haut du sac, un moyen susceptible d'enserrer et retenir le haut de la paire de skis qui se trouve ainsi disposé sensiblement dans le plan de symétrie longitudinal du sac. De la sorte, la mise en place est facile, et le portage est aisé et stable.In other words, the invention consists in providing on the front of the backpack, on the one hand, a vertical fixed loop arranged in the middle of the bottom of the bag, to receive the pair of skis which abuts by the heels of the security binding, and on the other hand, on the top of the bag, a means capable of enclosing and retaining the top of the pair of skis which is thus arranged substantially in the longitudinal plane of symmetry of the bag. In this way, the installation is easy, and the portage is easy and stable.

Dans une première forme d'exécution avantageuse, le moyen de retenue supérieure de la paire de skis est disposé au niveau du chapeau et est formé d'une première sangle, fixée à un des côtés du haut du sac, destinée à coopérer avec une seconde sangle disposée de l'autre côté, et de manière symétrique, sur le haut du sac par rapport au plan de symétrie longitudinal du sac, l'extrémité libre de ces sangles présentant des moyens d'attache rapide, pour former une boucle horizontale destinée à enserrer le haut de la paire de skis, entre l'avant de la fixation et la spatule.In a first advantageous embodiment, the upper retaining means of the pair of skis is disposed at the level of the hat and is formed by a first strap, fixed to one of the sides of the top of the bag, intended to cooperate with a second strap arranged on the other side, and symmetrically, on the top of the bag with respect to the longitudinal plane of symmetry of the bag, the free end of these straps having quick coupling means, to form a horizontal loop intended to grip the top of the pair of skis, between the front of the binding and the tip.

Dans une autre forme d'exécution, la sangle en forme de boucle verticale disposée au bas de la face avant présente une seconde sangle horizontale disposée entre le milieu du bas de la face avant et le milieu de la boucle, de manière à éviter le flottement de la boucle lors de la pratique du ski.In another embodiment, the strap in the form of a vertical loop arranged at the bottom of the front face has a second horizontal strap arranged between the middle of the bottom of the front face and the middle of the buckle, so as to avoid floating. of the loop when skiing.

Avantageusement, en pratique :

  • les deux sangles supérieures sont fixées sur le haut du dos du sac, plus précisément au niveau de l'extrémité des deux bretelles ;
  • la boucle verticale inférieure est disposée au milieu du sac juste à la jonction du fond du sac et de la face avant du sac ;
  • les sangles sont réalisées en une tresse textile ;
  • le système d'attache rapide de la boucle horizontale supérieure est formé par un ensemble connu comprenant une partie mâle à doigts élastiques s'encliquetant dans une partie femelle appropriée ;
  • le moyen destiné à enserrer la paire de skis dans sa partie supérieure est constitué par une housse-gaine ouverte à ses deux extrémités, rapportée sur le devant et sur le haut du sac, présentant un organe de fermeture rapide disposé dans l'axe longitudinal de la housse, tel que par exemple une fermeture à glissière, un système d'accrochage à crochets et boucles, voire un lacet ;
  • le moyen destiné à enserrer la paire de skis dans sa partie supérieure est constitué par une housse-gaine élastique, ouverte à ses deux extrémités, dans laquelle il suffit de glisser la paire de skis, jusqu'à sa position de butée dans la boucle inférieure ;
  • les sangles sont escamotables grâce à un système enrouleur.
Advantageously, in practice:
  • the two upper straps are attached to the upper back of the bag, more precisely at the end of the two straps;
  • the lower vertical loop is arranged in the middle of the bag just at the junction of the bottom of the bag and the front of the bag;
  • the straps are made of a textile braid;
  • the quick coupling system of the upper horizontal loop is formed by a known assembly comprising a male part with elastic fingers snapping into a suitable female part;
  • the means for enclosing the pair of skis in its upper part is constituted by a sheath cover open at its two ends, attached to the front and to the top of the bag, having a quick closing member arranged in the longitudinal axis of the cover, such as for example a zipper, a hooking system with hooks and loops, or even a lace;
  • the means for enclosing the pair of skis in its upper part is constituted by an elastic sheath cover, open at its two ends, in which it suffices to slide the pair of skis, until its stop position in the lower loop ;
  • the straps are retractable thanks to a retractor system.

Dans une variante, le chapeau du sac comprend d'une part quatre ganses ouvertes, disposées symétriquement deux par deux sur le chapeau de part et d'autre du plan de symétrie longitudinal du sac, et d'autre part un cordon élastique en boucle fermée coulissant dans lesdites ganses pour définir un parcours en X, destiné à enserrer un objet quelconque, tel qu'un casque, un matelas roulé, une veste, des crampons.In a variant, the hat of the bag comprises on the one hand four open loops, arranged symmetrically two by two on the hat on either side of the longitudinal plane of symmetry of the bag, and on the other hand an elastic cord in closed loop sliding in said loops to define an X-shaped path, intended to enclose any object, such as a helmet, a rolled-up mattress, a jacket, crampons.

La manière dont l'invention peut être réalisée et les avantages qui en découlent, ressortiront mieux de l'exemple de réalisation qui suit à l'appui des figures annexées.The manner in which the invention can be implemented and the advantages which ensue therefrom will emerge more clearly from the embodiment which follows, supported by the appended figures.

La figure 1 est une représentation schématique vue de trois-quart avant d'un sac à dos agencé conformément à l'invention.Figure 1 is a schematic representation of three-quarter view of a backpack arranged in accordance with the invention.

La figure 2 est une vue arrière de ce sac.Figure 2 is a rear view of this bag.

La figure 3 est une représentation d'une paire de skis montée sur le sac à dos des figures 1 et 2 agencé conformément à l'invention.Figure 3 is a representation of a pair of skis mounted on the backpack of Figures 1 and 2 arranged in accordance with the invention.

La figure 4 montre un randonneur vu de côté équipé d'un sac à dos conforme à l'invention.Figure 4 shows a hiker seen from the side equipped with a backpack according to the invention.

La figure 5 montre vue trois-quart avant une autre forme d'exécution de l'invention.Figure 5 shows three-quarter view before another embodiment of the invention.

La figure 6 est une représentation simplifiée d'une boucle inférieure.Figure 6 is a simplified representation of a lower loop.

La figure 7 est une représentation simplifiée du moyen de maintien disposé sur le chapeau.Figure 7 is a simplified representation of the holding means disposed on the cap.

Le sac à dos selon l'invention désigné par la référence générale (1), comprend un dos (2), par exemple thermoformé, un harnais de portage avec ses deux bretelles (3,4), et un sac (5) proprement dit formé d'une face avant (6) opposée au dos (2), d'un fond (7) et d'un chapeau de fermeture (8).The backpack according to the invention designated by the general reference (1), comprises a back (2), for example thermoformed, a carrying harness with its two straps (3,4), and a bag (5) proper formed of a front face (6) opposite the back (2), a bottom (7) and a closure cap (8).

Selon une première caractéristique de l'invention, la face avant (6) du sac présente à la jonction (9) avec le fond (7), une boucle verticale (10) disposée dans le plan de symétrie longitudinal du sac. Cette première sangle (10) est torsadée de 180° et est cousue à ses deux extrémités (11) au milieu de la ligne de jonction (9). Cette boucle (10) a une longueur développée sensiblement supérieure à deux fois la largeur des skis et à deux fois leur épaisseur, de manière à permettre le passage de la paire de skis (20,21) (voir figure 3) attachés ensemble, de sorte que l'arrière de la talonnière de fixation de sécurité (22,23) des deux skis vienne s'appuyer contre ladite boucle (10), les talons (24,25) étant dirigés vers le bas.According to a first characteristic of the invention, the front face (6) of the bag has at the junction (9) with the bottom (7), a vertical loop (10) disposed in the longitudinal plane of symmetry of the bag. This first strap (10) is twisted by 180 ° and is sewn at its two ends (11) in the middle of the junction line (9). This loop (10) has a developed length substantially greater than twice the width of the skis and twice their thickness, so as to allow the passage of the pair of skis (20,21) (see Figure 3) attached together, so that the rear of the safety binding heel (22,23) of the two skis comes to rest against said buckle (10), the heels (24,25) being directed downwards.

Dans la forme d'exécution, montrée à la figure 6, cette boucle (10) disposée au bas (7) de la face avant (6) présente une seconde sangle (50) disposée entre le milieu (51) du bas (7) de la face avant (6) et le milieu (52) de la boucle (10), à laquelle elle est raccordée par un système d'attache rapide connu sous la marque "VELCRO".In the embodiment, shown in Figure 6, this loop (10) disposed at the bottom (7) of the front face (6) has a second strap (50) disposed between the middle (51) of the bottom (7) of the front face (6) and the middle (52) of the loop (10), to which it is connected by a quick coupling system known under the brand "VELCRO".

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le haut du sac et plus précisément le haut (30) du dos (2), présente deux sangles fixées de manière symétrique par rapport au plan de symétrie longitudinal du sac, à savoir une première sangle (31) fixée au haut de la bretelle (4) et terminée par un dispositif mâle (32) à doigts élastiques d'un système classique d'attache rapide. Cette première sangle (31) coopère avec une seconde sangle (33) terminée par la partie femelle (34) du système d'attache rapide. Les extrémités fixes des deux sangles sont cousues au haut du dos (2) du sac au niveau de l'extrémité supérieure des bretelles (3,4) (voir figure 2). De la sorte, ces sangles (31,33) une fois assemblées (32,34), forment une seconde boucle horizontale destinée à enserrer le haut de la paire de skis (21,22) entre l'avant des fixations (28,29) et la spatule (26,27). Avantageusement, l'extrémité libre (35) de la sangle (31) réglable, associée à la partie mâle (32), a une longueur qui dépasse la longueur de la même portion de sangle (31) fixée au haut (30) du sac. De la sorte, cette sangle libre (35) peut venir sur la poitrine du randonneur pour lui permettre ainsi d'ajuster la longueur de la boucle caractéristique qui enserre le haut de la paire de skis. Cela permet également de modifier la tension, c'est-à-dire le serrage sur la tranche des skis, pour ainsi éviter leur ballottement.According to another characteristic of the invention, the top of the bag and more precisely the top (30) of the back (2) has two straps fixed symmetrically with respect to the longitudinal plane of symmetry of the bag, namely a first strap ( 31) attached to the top of the strap (4) and terminated by a male device (32) with elastic fingers of a conventional quick-attach system. This first strap (31) cooperates with a second strap (33) terminated by the female part (34) of the quick coupling system. The fixed ends of the two straps are sewn to the upper back (2) of the bag at the upper end of the straps (3,4) (see Figure 2). In this way, these straps (31,33) once assembled (32,34), form a second horizontal loop intended to grip the top of the pair of skis (21,22) between the front of the bindings (28,29 ) and the spatula (26,27). Advantageously, the free end (35) of the adjustable strap (31), associated with the male part (32), has a length which exceeds the length of the same portion of strap (31) fixed to the top (30) of the bag. . In this way, this free strap (35) can come on the hiker's chest so that he can adjust the length of the characteristic loop which encloses the top of the pair of skis. This also makes it possible to modify the tension, that is to say the tightening on the edge of the skis, so as to avoid their sloshing.

Dans une forme de réalisation pratique, les deux sangles (10,31,33) tressées sont des sangles textiles, d'usage courant dans le domaine de sacs à dos. La longueur des sangles (31,33) est telle que l'on peut éventuellement faire un tour autour de la paire de skis.In a practical embodiment, the two braided straps (10,31,33) are textile straps, in common use in the field of backpacks. The length of the straps (31,33) is such that one can possibly make a turn around the pair of skis.

Dans une variante, ces sangles (31,33) sont en matériau élastique.In a variant, these straps (31,33) are made of elastic material.

Dans une autre forme d'exécution non représentée, la sangle supérieure horizontale est formée d'une seule pièce montée d'un côté du haut (30) sur enrouleur à retour automatique, et se fixant par un organe approprié sur le haut opposé symétrique du dos du sac.In another embodiment not shown, the horizontal upper strap is formed in one piece mounted on one side of the top (30) on rewinder with automatic return, and fixed by a suitable member on the opposite opposite top of the back of the bag.

Dans une autre forme d'exécution montrée à la figure 5, la face avant (6) présente au milieu une housse en forme de gaine formée de deux bandes verticales (40,41) cousues à une extrémité sur le sac et fermée sur le devant par une fermeture à glissière (42) verticale, disposée dans le plan de symétrie longitudinal du sac, voire un moyen équivalent tel qu'un système d'accrochage rapide à crochets et boucles, ou un lacet. Cette housse étant ouverte à ses deux extrémités, permet de disposer et d'inserrer la paire de skis qui se trouve ainsi retenue par la boucle (10) et est maintenue dans le plan de symétrie longitudinal du sac par cette housse (40-42).In another embodiment shown in Figure 5, the front face (6) has in the middle a sheath-shaped cover formed by two vertical bands (40,41) sewn at one end on the bag and closed on the front by a vertical zipper (42), arranged in the longitudinal plane of symmetry of the bag, or even equivalent means such as a quick hooking system with hooks and loops, or a lace. This cover being open at its two ends, allows to place and insert the pair of skis which is thus retained by the loop (10) and is maintained in the longitudinal plane of symmetry of the bag by this cover (40-42) .

Dans une variante illustrée à la figure 7, le chapeau (8) comprend quatre ganses ouvertes (55,56,57,58) disposées symétriquement deux par deux sur le chapeau (8), de part et d'autre du plan de symétrie longitudinal du sac, et un cordon élastique en boucle fermée (66) coulissant dans lesdites ganses pour définir un parcours en X destiné à enserrer un casque, une veste, un matelas roulé, des crampons ou autres.In a variant illustrated in Figure 7, the cap (8) comprises four open loops (55,56,57,58) arranged symmetrically two by two on the cap (8), on either side of the longitudinal plane of symmetry of the bag, and an elastic cord in a closed loop (66) sliding in said loops to define an X-shaped path intended to grip a helmet, a jacket, a rolled mattress, crampons or the like.

Dans une forme d'exécution préférée montrée à la figure 7, le cordon élastique (60) en boucle fermée définit une première partie (61), où les deux bouts (62,63) de la boucle sont repliés côte à côte et réunis par un noeud (67). Cette partie (61) est ajustable en longueur grâce à un moyen coulissable (65) le long de cette partie, qui pénètre dans une première ganse (55). La boucle (60) présente ensuite une seconde partie où l'un des deux bouts (66) de la boucle issue de cette première ganse (65) traverse la ganse (56) située du même côté du chapeau que la première ganse (55), puis croise pour traverser par le haut la ganse (57) diamétralement opposée, pour traverser ensuite la dernière gaine (58) située du même côté. Le cordon (60) revient enfin à la première ganse (55) diamétralement opposée. Le point de croisement (70) du cordon (60) entre la deuxième (56) et la troisième ganses (57) comprend une ganse libre mobile (71) définissant le point de croisement du parcours en X.In a preferred embodiment shown in Figure 7, the elastic cord (60) in closed loop defines a first part (61), where the two ends (62,63) of the loop are folded side by side and joined by a knot (67). This part (61) is adjustable in length thanks to a sliding means (65) along this part, which enters a first loop (55). The loop (60) then has a second part where one of the two ends (66) of the loop from this first loop (65) crosses the loop (56) located on the same side of the hat as the first loop (55) , then crosses to cross from above the diametrically opposite loop (57), to then cross the last sheath (58) located on the same side. The cord (60) finally returns to the first loop (55) diametrically opposite. The crossing point (70) of the cord (60) between the second (56) and the third loops (57) comprises a free movable loop (71) defining the crossing point of the course in X.

Le sac à dos décrit conformément à l'invention permet donc commodément d'attacher de manière fiable rapide et stable une paire de skis, sensiblement dans le plan général longitudinal de symétrie, ce qui facilite le portage et ne gêne pas la marche du randonneur. En outre, lors de la pratique du ski, il suffit de replier la boucle supérieure horizontale (31,33) ou de la fermer en la resserrant légèrement, pour qu'elle ne gêne pas. Cette disposition ne modifie pas la conception des sacs à dos d'usage courant pour cette application.The backpack described in accordance with the invention therefore conveniently makes it possible to reliably fast and stablely attach a pair of skis, substantially in the general longitudinal plane of symmetry, which facilitates carrying and does not hinder the walker's hike. In addition, when skiing, simply fold the upper horizontal loop (31,33) or close it by tightening it slightly, so that it does not interfere. This provision does not change the design of backpacks in common use for this application.
