Description

BE2025 / 5033 2 One or more purposes of the invention can be achieved by a carrying system for supporting a portable object such as a musical instrument (all instruments of the saxophone family, clarinet family, bassoon, and other instruments to which, for example but not exclusively, a ring is attached to be carried via a hook) or a camera, where the carrying system comprises: -a trouser end comprising at least one trouser attachment configured to be attached to a belt or trousers, where the trouser end is configured to be placed at the back of a user during use, at the level of the lower back and / or the buttocks, -an object end comprising an object attachment configured to attach the portable object, where the object end is configured to be placed at the front of the user during use,15 a strap construction comprising one or more carrying straps, where the band construction stretches between the trouser ends and the object end, and is configured so that,during use, extending from the trouser end via the user's back, over the shoulders, to the object end at the front of the user.20 The trouser end of the harness is attached to the trousers or belt, causing the weight of the instrument or camera to hang upside down from the trousers over the shoulders. The shoulders serve as guidance, but the trouser attachment takes over part of the weight to be carried. The object end is attached to the instrument or camera.25 The advantage of this method is the relief of the weight of the instrument from both the neck and shoulders. This allows one to play music or photograph for longer periods without physical complaints or discomfort due to the weight of the instrument or camera. Consequently, the focus remains on the core activities and is not diverted to physical complaints or discomfort. Also beneficial is the extra stability of the instrument30 achieved with this, which has a direct impact on tone stability. sound production,or image stability in photography. Certainly compared to a system around 2025 / 5033 BE2025 / 5033 3 the neck this advantage is significant. This stability is also an advantage compared to systems around the shoulders given that in the case of the invention the mobility is independent of the stability of the instrument. In implementation forms, a carrying system for supporting a portable object such as a musical instrument (all instruments from the saxophone family, 5 clarinet family, bassoon, and other instruments to which a ring is attached to be carried via a hook) or a camera, where the carrying system comprises: -a trouser end comprising a trouser attachment configured to be attached to a belt or trousers, where the trouser end is configured to be placed at the back of a 10 user during use, at the level of the lower back / or the buttocks, -an object end comprising an object attachment configured to attach the portable object,where the object end is configured to be placed at the front of the user during use, -a strap construction comprising one or more carrying straps, where the strap construction extends between the trouser end and the object end, and is configured to extend, during use, from the trouser end via the back of the user, over the shoulders, to the object end at the front of the user. The strap construction is characterized by being able to be attached to the belt at the back. This strap runs via the back over the shoulder to the front of the person where the object can be carried. This method is based on the principle of core stability within the sports world. Core stability in sports is the ability of your torso to keep your body stable during movements. The invention allows, via the strap construction on the belt, to keep the body and instrument (or camera) stable during movements. In implementation forms, the carrying system according to conclusion 2,where the first 30 carrying straps and the second carrying strap cross each other at a strap crossing between the 2025 / 5033 BE2025 / 5033 4 respective trouser fastenings and the object end, whereby the strap crossing is located on the user's back during use. The carrying system is characterized by a strap crossing on the back and aims to allow both carrying straps to rest stably on the shoulder without them sliding off the shoulders. The advantage of this is that the position of the carrying system5 remains unchanged regardless of the user's movements. The goal of this is to be able to play music or take photographs without shifting, and to be able to concentrate on the main activity. In implementation forms, the carrying system according to conclusion3, where the first carrying straps and the second carrying strap are attached to each other with a 10 crossing fastening (see illustration 1 in figure 1) at the strap crossing,where the crossing attachment preferably allows rotation around the crossing attachment of the first and second straps relative to the card. The system is characterized by the ability of both straps to cross each other at an angle that is sharp versus blunt. Depending on the user's build, both straps will be far apart or close to each other at the neck. The advantage of this is that the functionality is optimal for any size or build of the user. In design forms, the support system according to one of the preceding conclusions, where each trouser attachment comprises at least two adjustment positions (see illustration 20 in Figure 1),in which a usable length of the strap construction is different in every adjustment position. The carrying system is attached to the back of the user at the level of the trousers (see illustration 6 in Figure 1). Here, there is a choice between two positions. The choice of the fastening position determines the length of the carrying system. The advantage of this is that the length of the system is adjustable at the back. This allows one to determine the distance between the user's neck and the place where the straps meet at the front of the user. This guarantees greater comfort. The choice of fastening also offers the advantage that different instruments can be used without the need to make the finer length adjustment at the front via the loop slider. This allows for easy switching between instruments that require a shorter or longer 2025 / 5033 BE2025 / 5033 5 carrying system. Another advantage is the usability of the carrying system for people with different body types,and both young people or small people as well as adults can use the same carrying system. In execution forms, the carrying system according to one of the preceding conclusions, in which each trouser fastening includes buttons (see illustration 2 in figure 1),5 in which the respective strap is configured to be looped around a belt whereby the loop can be closed by means of the snap buttons, suspenders, swivel closures, carabiner hooks and / or belt accessories. The carrying system contains snap buttons to close the carrying system around the belt. This leads to a secure fastening whereby the carrying system remains in place.10 Both straps contain these closures via snap buttons, resulting in a minimum of four buttons on both straps,which together hold the system securely in place. The advantage of this is that the tension is distributed over two straps and a minimum of four buttons during use. This guarantees a safe construction and greater peace of mind during play, as the carrying system can support the weight of the instrument or camera. The minimum of four buttons also have the advantage that if one of the buttons is not closed correctly, the other buttons may be sufficient for safe use until the unclosed button is correctly closed again. In design forms, the carrying system according to one of the preceding conclusions2-6, further comprising a ring, whereby the first strap and the second strap are both attached at their ends by being looped around a ring (see illustration 3 in Figure 1), whereby during use the ring is located in front of the user, for example on the chest. The carrying system features a convergence of the carrying straps on a ring25 in front of the user. As a result, the carrying system cannot be detached from the user during use,and the support system is located in a position desirable for the practice of the main activity, being making music or taking photographs. In execution forms, the support system according to the preceding conclusions, further comprising an adjustable connection at the end of the object, whereby the adjustable connection is fitted between the object attachment and the strap construction, whereby the adjustable connection can be adjusted to at least two different usable lengths, whereby the object attachment is preferably connected to the adjustable connection. The system allows the length to be adjusted at the front as well. This offers the advantage that the distance from the object to the user can be determined according to personal preference, physique, or the requirement of the object to be used, being the instrument or camera. Consequently, the carrying system can also be adapted to different instruments that each require a different distance to the user. In execution forms, the carrying system according to conclusion 8, comprising a ring,where at least one support strap is looped around the ring to be connected to each other, and where the adjustable (see illustration 4 in Figure 1) connection is looped around the ring to be secured, whereby the loop of the adjustable connection can be adjusted to adjust the usable length of the adjustable connection. The support system features, on the user side, a length-adjustable connection between the system and the object of use, which can be gradually adjusted in length by means of the loop construction. This offers the advantage that the length can be adjusted very accurately for the benefit of ergonomics when playing an instrument using the support system. In execution forms, the support system according to one of the preceding conclusions, where the edges of at least one support strap are rounded and / or polished,at least at the height of the user's neck. 20 The straps of the carrying system feature a rounded edge at the bottom and top along the entire length of the strap. As a result, there is no sharp angle of the strap to the user. The side of the strap is extra smooth, which provides the advantage of a soft, gliding strap if the user presses this side against themselves. 25 In execution forms, the carrying system according to one of the preceding conclusions, whereby the carrying system is configured to transfer a substantial part of the weight of the portable object to the user's trousers, optionally via the belt. The carrying system is characterized by partially transferring the weight of the object attached to it to the trousers. This offers the advantage that the 2025 / 5033 BE2025 / 5033 7 user is less distracted by the discomfort experienced when carrying a weight, and / or experiences more comfort,and / or will experience less risk of physical discomfort due to the weight of the instrument or camera. This provides an additional advantage in terms of the stability of the instrument (and thereby also the tonal stability) attached to it, which is independent of the user's body movements. In terms of design, the carrying system according to one of the preceding conclusions, where the strap constructions and optional adjustable connection are made of leather. The carrying system is largely made of leather, making it durable, and over time, during use, the leather will mold itself to the user's shoulder shape at the level of the straps, based on the natural properties of the leather, in combination with the user's temperature and humidity. This provides a good fit and contributes to a classic, timeless aesthetic of the carrying system. In terms of design, the carrying system according to one of the preceding conclusions,comprising one or more of the following dimensions: -the length between the trouser attachment and the item attachment is between 840 and 1560 mm; -the length of the first straps / or the second strap is between 610 and 20140 mm; -the width of the first straps / or the second strap is between 10 and 75 mm; -the thickness of the first straps / or the second strap is between 1 and 4 mm; -the length of the adjustable connection is between 20 and 44 cm; -the width of the adjustable connection is between 0.1 and 7.5 cm; -the strap crossing is located 30-70 cm from the rings / or 20-60 cm from the trouser end. 2025 / 5033 BE2025 / 5033 8 In implementation forms, a method for supporting a portable object such as a musical instrument or a camera, using a carrying system in accordance with one of the preceding conclusion, where the method comprises the following steps: - attaching the trouser fastening to a belt or trousers, whereby the trouser end is placed at the back of a user, at the level of the lower back and / or the buttocks,- placing the strap construction via the back of the user, over the shoulders, to the object end at the front. - attaching the wearable object to the object attachment (see illustration 5 in Figure 1), whereby the object end is placed at the front of the user. The invention is explained below by means of figures. The described embodiments are merely examples and include, for instance, optional features.
