Abstract

The article of baggage, such as a rucksack, has an additional external carrier in the form of a textile panel (34) held in place and tensioned by a flexible cord (30) passed through loops (27, 28, 29) and a locking element (38). The locking element is located at the end of a strap that is fastened at one end to the baggage, while its other end can move away from it to accommodate an object placed in the additional carrier.

Description

L'invention se rapporte à un article de bagagerie.The invention relates to a luggage article.

Elle sera plus particulièrement décrite dans le cadre de son application à un sac à dos, mais elle pourra être appliquée à tout type de sac souple, ou à des bagages semi-rigides ou rigidesIt will be more particularly described in the context of its application to a backpack, but it can be applied to any type of flexible bag, or semi-rigid or rigid baggage

Tout article de bagagerie comporte un compartiment principal, en principe fermé, destiné à recevoir les objets que l'on souhaite transporter avec cet article. Ce compartiment principal forme l'essentiel du volume interne du sac: L'article comporte éventuellement des poches externes qui forment des compartiments auxiliaires fermés, et qui sont destinés au stockage d'objets que l'on souhaite conserver immédiatement accessibles. Enfin, les articles de bagagerie comportent aussi des dispositifs de retenue externe qui permettent d'accrocher à l'extérieur du sac des objets supplémentaires. Ces systèmes de retenue peuvent être constitués de simples sangles.Any item of luggage has a main compartment, in principle closed, for receiving the objects that you want to carry with this article. This main compartment forms the bulk of the internal volume of the bag: The article optionally comprises external pockets which form closed auxiliary compartments, and which are intended for storing objects that one wishes to keep immediately accessible. Finally, the luggage items also include external restraints that allow to hang outside the bag of additional items. These restraint systems may consist of simple straps.

Un système de retenue externe est par exemple illustré à la figure 7 du document EP-A1-0.612.489. Sur cette figure, on peut voir un sac à dos comportant un dispositif de retenue pour plaquer un objet contre une paroi externe du sac, en l'occurrence sur la face externe du rabat. Le dispositif de retenue comporte un lien souple qui circule selon un parcours suivant des points de renvoi formés par des ganses portées par ladite paroi externe du rabat. La longueur du parcours du lien est réglable grâce à un bloqueur dont la position sur le lien est réglable, ceci afin de serrer un objet tel qu'un casque, une veste ou d'autres accessoires encore.An external restraint system is for example illustrated in Figure 7 of EP-A1-0.612.489. In this figure, we can see a backpack with a retaining device for pressing an object against an outer wall of the bag, in this case on the outer face of the flap. The retaining device comprises a flexible link which circulates along a following path of the return points formed by loops carried by said outer wall of the flap. The length of the link course is adjustable by a blocker whose position on the link is adjustable, in order to tighten an object such as a helmet, a jacket or other accessories.

Ainsi, un tel système de retenue permet de fixer sur le sac des objets relativement volumineux, éventuellement plus volumineux que le sac, même si ces objets ne sont ensuite pas particulièrement protégés, notamment vis-à-vis de la pluie. Un tel dispositif de retenue ne prend aucune place à vide et ne pèse que très peu, tout en pouvant recevoir des objets de tailles et de formes variées.Thus, such a retaining system allows to fix on the bag relatively bulky objects, possibly larger than the bag, even if these objects are not then particularly protected, especially vis-à-vis the rain. Such a retainer takes no empty space and weighs very little, while being able to accommodate objects of various sizes and shapes.

Le problème posé par ce type de dispositif de retenue est qu'il est nécessaire d'utiliser les deux mains pour refermer le dispositif sur l'objet que l'on veut plaquer contre la paroi externe du sac. En effet, la fermeture du dispositif se fait en tirant sur le bout libre du lien avec une main, pour resserrer l'objet contre la face externe, et en faisant coulisser avec l'autre main le bloqueur le long du lien jusqu'à une position de blocage dans laquelle il maintien le lien en tension contre l'objet à plaquer. Le but de l'invention est de proposer un système dans lequel l'utilisateur pourrait réaliser cette opération de fermeture à une seule main.
Le document FR-2.754.984 décrit un sac muni d'un système de compression qui peut être serré d'une seule main grâce à un bloqueur fixé sur la face externe du sac. Le document US-4.739.913 décrit un sac à dos comportant des poches externes munies d'un cordon de fermeture sur lequel est monté un bloqueur libre.
The problem with this type of restraint is that it is necessary to use both hands to close the device on the object that is to be pressed against the outer wall of the bag. Indeed, the closure of the device is done by pulling on the free end of the link with one hand, to tighten the object against the outer face, and sliding with the other hand the blocker along the link to a locking position in which it maintains the tension link against the object to be plated. The object of the invention is to propose a system in which the user could carry out this one-hand closing operation.
Document FR-2,754,984 describes a bag equipped with a compression system which can be tightened with one hand thanks to a blocker fixed on the outer face of the bag. US-4,739,913 discloses a backpack with external pockets provided with a closure cord on which is mounted a free blocker.

Dans ce but, l'invention propose un article de bagagerie selon les caractéristique de la revendication 1.For this purpose, the invention proposes a luggage article according to the features of claim 1.

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention apparaîtront à la lecture de la description détaillée qui suit ainsi qu'à la vue des dessins annexés dans lesquels :

  • la figure 1 est une vue en perspective d'un sac à dos selon l'invention ;
  • lafigure 2 est une vue de côté du sac de la figure 1 ;
  • la figure 3 est une vue de la face avant du sac de la figure 1 ;
  • la figure 4 est une vue de détail en perspective avec arrachement partiel d'un mode de réalisation de la fixation du bloqueur sur la pièce de retenue ; et
  • les figures 5 et 6 sont des vues schématiques illustrant, en deux positions, un mode de réalisation d'un bloqueur utilisable dans le cadre de l'invention:
Other features and advantages of the invention will appear on reading the detailed description which follows and on seeing the appended drawings in which:
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view of a backpack according to the invention;
  • Figure 2 is a side view of the bag of Figure 1;
  • Figure 3 is a view of the front face of the bag of Figure 1;
  • Figure 4 is a detailed perspective view partially broken away of an embodiment of the attachment of the blocker on the retaining piece; and
  • FIGS. 5 and 6 are diagrammatic views illustrating, in two positions, an embodiment of a blocker that can be used in the context of the invention:

On a illustré sur les figures 1 à 3 un sac de portage 10 de type sac à dos qui comporte, sur une paroi arrière 12 destinée à venir au contact du dos de l'utilisateur, des moyens de portage réalisés sous la forme d'une paire de bretelles 14 permettant de porter le sac sur les épaules et d'une ceinture abdominale 16 permettant de stabiliser la partie inférieure du sac, et/ou de répartir une partie du poids du sac au niveau du bassin de l'utilisateur.FIGS. 1 to 3 show a backpack carrying bag 10 which comprises, on a rear wall 12 intended to come into contact with the back of the user, carrying means made in the form of a pair of straps 14 to carry the bag on the shoulders and a lap belt 16 to stabilize the lower part of the bag, and / or to distribute a portion of the weight of the bag at the pelvis of the user.

Pour une plus grande commodité de la description, on considèrera dans la suite que le sac 10 comporte un compartiment principal 18 de forme sensiblement parallélépipédique, même si dans la réalité, la forme de ce compartiment est plus complexe. De même, en plus de la convention selon laquelle la face arrière est celle qui est destinée à venir contre le dos de l'utilisateur, on se référera aux notions de haut et de bas telles qu'elles s'appliquent à un sac à dos lorsqu'il est porté de manière usuelle par l'utilisateur. On considèrera donc que le compartiment principal 18 présente, à l'opposé de sa face arrière 12, une paroi avant 20 qui est réunie à la paroi arrière 12 par deux parois latérales 22. Le compartiment principal 18 est donc délimité par des parois qui sont de préférence réalisées en un matériau souple, par exemple un tissu. La paroi arrière 12 peut comporter une structure de renfort (non représentée sur les figures). Le compartiment 18 est refermé à sa partie inférieure, par exemple par un fond fixe, et à sa partie supérieure, il comporte une ouverture matérialisée par exemple par une fermeture à glissière 24. Le sac à dos 10 pourrait aussi comporter des poches latérales disposées à l'extérieur du compartiment principal 18, par exemple sur les faces latérales 22 de celui-ci.For greater convenience of description, it will be considered in the following that the bag 10 has a main compartment 18 of substantially parallelepiped shape, although in reality, the shape of this compartment is more complex. Similarly, in addition to the convention that the back side is the one that is intended to come against the back of the user, we will refer to the notions of high and low as they apply to a backpack when worn in the usual manner by the user. It will therefore be considered that the main compartment 18 has, opposite its rear face 12, a front wall 20 which is joined to the rear wall 12 by two side walls 22. The main compartment 18 is therefore delimited by walls which are preferably made of a flexible material, for example a fabric. The rear wall 12 may comprise a reinforcing structure (not shown in the figures). The compartment 18 is closed at its lower part, for example by a fixed bottom, and at its upper part, it comprises an opening materialized for example by a zipper 24. The backpack 10 could also include side pockets arranged to the outside of the main compartment 18, for example on the side faces 22 thereof.

Selon l'invention, le sac 10 comporte un dispositif de retenue 26 permettant de plaquer et de fixer des objets contre la paroi avant 20 du sac. Ce dispositif de retenue comporte cinq points de renvoi 27, 28, 29 dans lesquels un lien 30 peut coulisser. Les points de renvoi 27, 28, 29 sont constitués par des petits anneaux formés d'une bande de tissu cousue sur les bords de la face avant. L'un des points de renvoi 27 est situé au centre d'un bord inférieur horizontal de la paroi avant 20, et chacun des deux bords verticaux latéraux de la paroi avant est muni de deux points de renvoi, l'un 28 en partie basse et l'autre 29 en partie haute. Les points de renvois 28, 29 des deux bords latéraux sont situés verticalement en correspondance.According to the invention, the bag 10 comprises a retaining device 26 for pressing and fixing objects against the front wall 20 of the bag. This retainer comprises five return points 27, 28, 29 in which a link 30 can slide. The return points 27, 28, 29 are constituted by small rings formed of a strip of fabric sewn on the edges of the front face. One of the return points 27 is located at the center of a horizontal lower edge of the front wall 20, and each of the two lateral vertical edges of the front wall is provided with two return points, one 28 at the bottom and the other 29 in the upper part. The return points 28, 29 of the two lateral edges are located vertically in correspondence.

Entre les deux points de renvoi latéraux supérieurs 29, le lien passe dans un bloqueur 38 qui, conformément aux enseignements de l'invention, est maintenu par une pièce de retenue 32. Dans l'exemple illustré, la pièce de retenue comporte un panneau textile 34 qui recouvre les deux tiers inférieurs de la paroi avant 20 du sac, et une bande de renfort 36 qui s'étend verticalement le long du côté externe du panneau textile 34, depuis le point de renvoi inférieur 27 jusqu'au point le plus haut du panneau textile.Between the two upper lateral return points 29, the link passes through a blocker 38 which, in accordance with the teachings of the invention, is held by a retaining piece 32. In the example illustrated, the retaining piece comprises a textile panel 34 which covers the lower two-thirds of the front wall 20 of the bag, and a reinforcing strip 36 which extends vertically along the outer side of the textile panel 34, from the lower point of return 27 to the highest point of the textile panel.

Plus précisément, le panneau textile 34 est cousu par un bord inférieur avec le bord inférieur de la paroi avant 20 du sac et la partie basse 40 de ses bords latéraux est aussi cousue avec la partie basse correspondante de la face avant. Les parties supérieures 42 des deux bords latéraux du panneau de textile sont libres par rapport à la paroi avant 20 du sac et se rejoignent en un point haut sensiblement à la hauteur des deux points de renvois supérieurs 29. Le panneau textile 34 comporte ainsi un bord libre qui est constitué des parties supérieures 42 des deux bords latéraux et qui peut s'écarter de la paroi externe du sac. Le bord libre du panneau 34 délimite ainsi une ouverture pour l'espace compris entre le panneau 34 et la face externe du sac, à l'intérieur du parcours du lien 30, ouverture par laquelle les objets à retenir sont au moins en partie introduits dans ledit espace. Les parties supérieures 42 des bords latéraux sont avantageusement munie de bandes élastiques.More specifically, the textile panel 34 is sewn by a lower edge with the lower edge of the front wall 20 of the bag and the lower part 40 of its side edges is also sewn with the corresponding lower part of the front face. The upper portions 42 of the two lateral edges of the textile panel are free with respect to the front wall 20 of the bag and meet at a high point substantially at the height of the two upper points of return 29. The textile panel 34 thus has an edge free which consists of the upper parts 42 of the two side edges and which can deviate from the outer wall of the bag. The free edge of the panel 34 defines an opening for the space between the panel 34 and the outer face of the bag, within the course of the link 30, opening by which the objects to be retained are at least partly introduced into said space. The upper portions 42 of the lateral edges are advantageously provided with elastic bands.

Le panneau textile peut être un panneau de tissu ou être constitué d'un filet qui, par ses capacités de déformation, pourra s'adapter au mieux à la forme d'un objet quelconque introduit dans l'espace entre le panneau 34 et la face avant 20. C'est surtout dans ce cas que la bande de renfort 36 est particulièrement importante. La bande de renfort pourra être une bande élastique présentant une capacité d'allongement prédéterminée, ou au contraire être une bande sensiblement inextensible, c'est-à-dire ne présentant pas un allongement supérieur à 5% pour un effort de traction de quelques dizaines de kilos. Dans l'exemple illustré la bande de renfort 36 est une bande de textile souple sensiblement inextensible. La bande 36 est fixée sur le sac à son bord d'extrémité inférieure, et son bord d'extrémité supérieure est libre de s'écarter de la paroi externe 20, comme le bord libre du panneau 34 avec lequel il coïncide.The textile panel may be a fabric panel or consist of a net which, by its deformation capacity, can best adapt to the shape of any object introduced into the space between the panel 34 and the face before 20. It is especially in this case that the reinforcing strip 36 is particularly important. The reinforcing strip may be an elastic band having a predetermined elongation capacity, or on the contrary be a substantially inextensible band, that is to say not having an elongation greater than 5% for a tensile force of a few tens kilos. In the example illustrated, the reinforcement strip 36 is a flexible textile strip that is substantially inextensible. The band 36 is attached to the bag at its lower end edge, and its upper end edge is free to move away from the outer wall 20, as the free edge of the panel 34 with which it coincides.

Si le panneau textile 34 est réalisé sous la forme d'un filet, il sera alors avantageux de fixer le bloqueur 38 sur la bande de renfort 36, ainsi que cela est illustré sur les figures, surtout si la bande de renfort est sensiblement inextensible. En effet, la bande de renfort pourra retenir le bloqueur sans se déformer, et elle permettra de fermer le dispositif de retenue d'une seule main.If the textile panel 34 is made in the form of a net, it will be advantageous to fix the blocker 38 on the reinforcing strip 36, as is illustrated in the figures, especially if the reinforcing strip is substantially inextensible. Indeed, the reinforcing strip can hold the blocker without deforming, and it will close the retainer with one hand.

Le parcours du lien 30 entre les points de renvoi est un parcours en boucle croisée en forme de 8, c'est-à-dire que le lien passe directement d'un point de renvoi latéral 28 situé en partie basse d'un des bords latéraux jusqu'au point de renvoi 29 situé en partie haute de l'autre bord latéral de la face avant. Ainsi, le lien comporte dans son parcours un point de croisement. Ce croisement se fait à l'intérieur d'un passant 35 cousu sur la bande de renfort 36.The path of the link 30 between the return points is a cross-loop course in the form of 8, that is to say that the link passes directly from a lateral reference point 28 located in the lower part of one of the edges. side to the point of reference 29 located in the upper part of the other side edge of the front face. Thus, the link has in its course a crossing point. This crossing is done inside a loop 35 sewn on the reinforcing strip 36.

Dans l'exemple illustré, il est choisi que le lien comporte un tronçon fixé au sac. En l'occurrence, le lien 30 est constitué d'un lien unique dont les deux extrémités sont cousues sur le sac au niveau du point de renvoi inférieur 27. De la sorte, le lien 30 ne coulisse pas au niveau du point de renvoi inférieur 27, mais il peut coulisser au niveau des quatre autres points de renvoi 28, 29.In the illustrated example, it is chosen that the link comprises a section attached to the bag. In this case, the link 30 consists of a single link whose two ends are sewn on the bag at the lower point of return 27. In this way, the link 30 does not slide at the lower point of return 27, but it can slide at the other four points of return 28, 29.

Le bloqueur 38 est par exemple un bloqueur à tiroir tel que celui illustré aux figures 5 et 6. Ce bloqueur 38 comporte un corps principal tubulaire 44 qui est sensiblement cylindrique de révolution, qui est fermé à une extrémité supérieure et ouvert à une extrémité inférieure (les termes supérieure et inférieure étant employés en fonction de l'orientation selon laquelle le bloqueur est fixé sur le sac dans l'exemple illustré). Un tiroir 46 peut coulisser verticalement dans le corps principal 44 et il est sollicité vers le bas par un ressort 48 interposé, à l'intérieur du corps principal, entre l'extrémité supérieure du tiroir et l'extrémité supérieure fermée du corps principal. L'extrémité inférieure du tiroir 46 dépasse à l'extérieur du corps principal 44 pour former un bouton poussoir permettant de rentrer le tiroir 46 dans le corps principal en comprimant le ressort 48. Le corps principal et le tiroir comportent chacun alésage transversal 50, 52, les deux alésages pouvant être amenés en correspondance l'un avec l'autre (jusqu'à être sensiblement coaxiaux) lorsque le tiroir 46 est rentré en comprimant le ressort 48.The blocker 38 is for example a drawer blocker such as that illustrated in FIGS. 5 and 6. This blocker 38 comprises a tubular main body 44 which is substantially cylindrical of revolution, which is closed at an upper end and open at a lower end ( the terms upper and lower being used according to the orientation according to which the blocker is fixed on the bag in the illustrated example). A drawer 46 can slide vertically in the main body 44 and is biased downwards by a spring 48 interposed, within the main body, between the upper end of the drawer and the closed upper end of the main body. The lower end of the spool 46 protrudes outside the main body 44 to form a push button for retracting the spool 46 into the main body by compressing the spring 48. The main body and the spool each have a transverse bore 50, 52 , the two bores being brought into correspondence with each other (to be substantially coaxial) when the slide 46 is retracted by compressing the spring 48.

Les brins du lien 30, l'un provenant du point de renvoi supérieur 29 droit et l'autre provenant du point de renvoi supérieur 29 gauche traversent le bloqueur en étant reçus dans les deux alésages 50, 52. Lorsque les deux alésages 50, 52 sont sensiblement coaxiaux, les deux brins du lien 30 peuvent coulisser librement par rapport au bloqueur 32. Lorsqu'on relâche le bouton poussoir, le ressort 48 provoque le déplacement vers le bas du tiroir 46 en décalant les alésages 50, 52 jusqu'à ce que les brins du lien soient coincés par cisaillement entre les alésages 50, 52.The strands of the link 30, one from the upper point of return 29 right and the other from the upper point of return 29 left pass through the blocker being received in the two bores 50, 52. When the two bores 50, 52 are substantially coaxial, the two strands of the link 30 can slide freely relative to the blocker 32. When the push button is released, the spring 48 causes the slide 46 to move downwards by staggering the bores 50, 52 until that the strands of the link are wedged by shear between the bores 50, 52.

A la figure 3, on voit que, lorsque la pièce de retenue est plaquée à vide contre la paroi externe 20, le bloqueur 38 est situé sur le périmètre reliant les points de renvoi 27, 28, 29. Il pourrait aussi être situé à l'intérieur de ce périmètre.In FIG. 3, it can be seen that, when the retaining piece is vacuum-pressed against the outer wall 20, the blocker 38 is located on the perimeter connecting the return points 27, 28, 29. It could also be located at inside this perimeter.

Comme on peut le voir sur la figure 4, le bloqueur 38 est fixé sur la pièce de retenue dans une position telle que les alésages 50, 52 sont sensiblement parallèles à la direction des brins du lien provenant des points de renvoi supérieur 29. Pour ce faire, l'extrémité supérieure de la bande de renfort 36 est repliée verticalement vers le bas sur elle-même, le rabat 54 ainsi formé étant fixé sur la bande 36 par deux coutures verticales 56 pratiquées sur les bords latéraux du rabat 54 et de la bande 36. Les coutures 56 ne s'étendent pas jusqu'au repli supérieur de la bande 36 pour laisser un passage 58 pour les brins du lien. Le rabat 54 forme ainsi un logement fermé vers le haut dans lequel le bloqueur peut être coincé, le bouton poussoir formé par l'extrémité inférieur du tiroir 46 dépassant vers le bas à l'extérieur du logement. Le bloqueur est ainsi agencé à proximité immédiate du bord libre de la pièce de retenue, au centre de bord.As can be seen in FIG. 4, the blocker 38 is fixed on the retaining piece in a position such that the bores 50, 52 are substantially parallel to the direction of the strands of the link coming from the upper return points 29. the upper end of the reinforcing strip 36 is folded vertically downwards on itself, the flap 54 thus formed being fixed on the strip 36 by two vertical seams 56 made on the lateral edges of the flap 54 and the The seams 56 do not extend until the upper fold of the band 36 to leave a passage 58 for the strands of the link. The flap 54 thus forms an upwardly closed housing in which the blocker can be jammed, the push button formed by the lower end of the slide 46 protruding downwardly outside the housing. The blocker is thus arranged in the immediate vicinity of the free edge of the retaining piece, at the edge center.

On s'aperçoit que le bloqueur délimite pour chacun des deux brins du lien un tronçon utile 60, qui s'étend d'un côté du bloqueur vers l'un des points de renvoi supérieurs 29 et qui est tendu lorsque le dispositif de retenue est serré sur un objet 43, et un tronçon libre 62 sur lequel l'utilisateur peut tirer pour resserrer le dispositif de retenue.It can be seen that the blocker defines for each of the two strands of the link a useful section 60, which extends from one side of the blocker to one of the upper return points 29 and which is stretched when the retainer is tightened on an object 43, and a free portion 62 on which the user can pull to tighten the retainer.

Dans le mode de construction illustré, dans lequel le lien 30 est en une seule pièce avec les deux extrémités fixées sur le sac au niveau du renvoi inférieur 27, les deux tronçons libres 62 sont constitués de la partie centrale du lien 30 et ils sont donc agencés dans la continuité l'un de l'autre en formant une boucle. La boucle peut être équipée d'une poignée de traction 64 permettant, en tirant vers le haut à l'opposé de la bande de renfort 36, de tirer simultanément et de manière équilibrée sur les deux brins utiles 60. Le serrage du dispositif de retenue est ainsi toujours symétrique.In the illustrated embodiment, in which the link 30 is in one piece with both ends fixed on the bag at the lower return 27, the two free sections 62 consist of the central part of the link 30 and they are therefore arranged in continuity with one another forming a loop. The buckle may be equipped with a pull handle 64 which, pulling upwards opposite the reinforcement strip 36, simultaneously and in a balanced manner pull the two useful strands 60. The tightening of the retaining device so is always symmetrical.

L'orientation du bloqueur par rapport à l'orientation des tronçons 60, 62 des brins du lien 30 est particulièrement avantageuse. En effet, la direction de coulissement du tiroir du bloqueur est sensiblement perpendiculaire à la direction générale reliant les deux points de renvoi 29 entre lesquels est situé le bloqueur 38 sur le parcours du lien 30. Ainsi, comme on peut le voir à la figure 5, les tronçons utiles 60 sur lesquels s'exerce la tension sont sensiblement perpendiculaires à la direction de coulissement du tiroir 46 du bloqueur et cette tension n'exerce pas sur le tiroir un effort qui pourrait faciliter le déverrouillage du bloqueur. Au contraire, on peut voir à la figure 6 que lorsque l'utilisateur met les tronçons libres 62 en tension en tirant vers le haut selon un effort F, ces tronçons libres exercent sur le tiroir 46 un effort qui tend à l'amener vers sa position de déverrouillage par rapport au corps principal. Ainsi, le bloqueur se trouve au moins en partie désactivé du fait de l'orientation des brins libres, ce qui diminue la résistance du système de retenue lors du serrage.The orientation of the blocker with respect to the orientation of the sections 60, 62 of the strands of the link 30 is particularly advantageous. Indeed, the sliding direction of the blocker slide is substantially perpendicular to the general direction connecting the two return points 29 between which is located the blocker 38 on the path of the link 30. Thus, as can be seen in Figure 5 , the useful sections 60 on which the tension is exerted are substantially perpendicular to the sliding direction of the drawer 46 of the blocker and this tension does not exert on the drawer a force which could facilitate the unlocking of the blocker. On the contrary, it can be seen in FIG. 6 that when the user puts the free portions 62 in tension by pulling upwards according to a force F, these free sections exert on the slide 46 a force which tends to bring it towards its end. unlocking position relative to the main body. Thus, the blocker is at least partly deactivated because of the orientation of the free strands, which decreases the resistance of the restraint system during tightening.

Le bloqueur ici décrit est particulièrement simple donc peu cher. Toutefois, l'invention pourra être mise en oeuvre avec d'autres types de bloqueur, par exemple avec un bloqueur du type de celui décrit dans le document EP-629.793.The blocker described here is particularly simple so inexpensive. However, the invention may be implemented with other types of blocker, for example with a blocker of the type described in EP-629.793.

Grâce au fait que le bloqueur est fixé sur la pièce de retenue 32, l'utilisateur n'a pas besoin de tenir ou de déplacer le bloqueur lorsqu'il souhaite serrer le dispositif de retenue. Par ailleurs, en fixant le bloqueur sur la pièce de retenue 32 qui peut s'écarter du sac, et non pas directement sur le sac, le bloqueur ne gêne pas l'introduction ou le retrait de l'objet sous le dispositif de retenue.Due to the fact that the blocker is fixed on the retaining piece 32, the user does not need to hold or move the blocker when he wishes to tighten the retaining device. Furthermore, by fixing the blocker on the retaining piece 32 which can deviate from the bag, and not directly on the bag, the blocker does not interfere with the introduction or removal of the object under the retainer.

Au sens de l'invention, la pièce de retenue est constituée, dans l'exemple décrit du panneau textile 34 et de la bande de renfort 36 qui sont associés. Cependant, la pièce de retenue pourrait être constituée d'un seul de ces deux éléments. Notamment, si les objets à transporter sont très volumineux, la pièce de retenue pourra être constituée seulement de la bande de renfort 36 car l'objet volumineux sera efficacement retenu par le lien et la bande seule. Le panneau textile sera avantageusement utilisé si les objets à transporter sont de petits objets.Within the meaning of the invention, the retaining piece is constituted in the example described of the textile panel 34 and the reinforcing strip 36 which are associated. However, the retaining piece could consist of only one of these two elements. In particular, if the objects to be transported are very bulky, the retaining piece may consist only of the reinforcing strip 36 because the bulky object will be effectively retained by the link and the band alone. The textile panel will be advantageously used if the objects to be transported are small objects.
