Strap for a backpack

Abstract

Strap for a backpack, featuring a webbing strap (1) and an adjustable buckle (2) through which the webbing (1) is slidably guided, wherein Markings (5) are applied to a surface of the webbing (1) which form a measuring scale (4), wherein one edge of the adjustment buckle (2) provides a reference point (3) for the measuring scale (4).

Description

[0001] The invention relates to a, preferably lower, strap for a backpack, comprising a webbing strap and an adjustment buckle through which the webbing strap is slidably guided.

[0002] Such straps are generally found on backpacks. They allow for individual adjustment of the effective length of the webbing used when carrying the backpack.

[0003] The disadvantage is that the effective length of the webbing cannot yet be precisely adjusted. Therefore, adjustments are usually made by feel. Since two straps are often provided, this can lead to different effective lengths being set. This can result in asymmetrical strain on the spine and / or shoulders.

[0004] It is therefore an object of the invention to create a belt and a backpack with a belt in which the effective length of the webbing can be precisely adjusted.

[0005] This problem is solved by the subject matter of the independent claims.

[0006] According to the invention, the strap is designed for use with a backpack.

[0007] The term backpack is to be understood broadly and also includes, for example, handbags, tote bags, sports bags, suitcases and / or trolleys.

[0008] The strap could, for example, be a lower strap. This could, for instance, connect to a shoulder strap that rests on the user's shoulder.

[0009] The belt has a webbing strap. The length of the webbing strap is essentially arbitrary.

[0010] Furthermore, the belt features an adjustment buckle through which the webbing is guided. The webbing can, for example, be moved relative to the adjustment buckle. The adjustment buckle ensures that the webbing is held securely in the desired position.

[0011] For example, the adjustment buckle can be permanently attached to the shoulder strap, e.g., sewn on.

[0012] Markings are applied to one surface of the webbing, forming a measuring scale. For example, a sequence of markings may be provided.

[0013] One edge of the adjustment buckle provides a reference point for the measuring scale. The measuring scale interacts with the edge in such a way that a marking on the scale is displayed at or in front of the edge.

[0014] The effective length of the webbing can therefore be adjusted using this visual aid.

[0015] The reference point serves as an orientation aid for the position of the webbing in relation to the adjustment buckle.

[0016] With conventional belts, the lack of visual indicators makes it impossible for the user to check an exact belt adjustment without external measuring tools.

[0017] Further developments of the invention can also be found in the dependent claims, the description and the accompanying drawings.

[0018] According to one embodiment, the effective length of the webbing, i.e. the section of the webbing used when wearing, can be precisely adjusted using the measuring scale.

[0019] No external measuring tools are required. This allows for precise, quick, and / or easy adjustment of the effective length of the webbing.

[0020] This allows the user to see at a glance which effective length is currently set.

[0021] According to another embodiment, the effective length of the webbing is adjustable by means of a marking corresponding to the edge of the adjustment buckle.

[0022] For example, the webbing can be shifted relative to the adjustment buckle until a mark aligns with the edge. The same value can then be set on another webbing strap to ensure symmetrical and / or even carrying of the backpack.

[0023] According to another embodiment, the markings of the measuring scale have or consist of digits, letters and / or graphic symbols.

[0024] For example, these could be Arabic or Roman numerals. The symbols could be, for example, lines, circles, ovals, polygons, emojis, or pictograms.

[0025] According to another embodiment, the measuring scale is permanently applied to the webbing by printing, embossing and / or embroidery.

[0026] The measuring scale therefore does not detach unintentionally.

[0027] The invention also relates to a backpack with at least one strap according to the invention.

[0028] The backpack can therefore be adapted to the individual needs of a user.

[0029] According to one embodiment, two belts are provided.

[0030] The effective lengths of the respective webbing straps can be easily adjusted to the same value using the measuring scales. The effective lengths of the webbing straps are therefore equal.

[0031] Identical values ​​allow for symmetrical, even and / or synchronous carrying of the backpack.

[0032] Using the measuring scale in conjunction with the reference point allows the user to immediately visually check the position of the webbing relative to the adjustment buckles on both straps simultaneously. This ensures, for example, a parallel and / or symmetrical alignment of the straps, resulting in even weight distribution of the backpack. This significantly improves ergonomics and / or carrying comfort by relieving pressure on the spine and / or shoulders.

[0033] If the user has an asymmetrical body shape, the straps can alternatively be adjusted to different values.

[0034] All aspects, embodiments, and features of the invention described herein can be combined with one another, preferably also independently of the specific embodiment in which they are mentioned. Preferably, all subject matter of the dependent claims can be combined with each other and with any subject matter of the independent claims.

[0035] It is generally noted that terms like "ein" (a) and "eine" (a / an) do not necessarily mean "exactly one" or "exactly one," although this is also possible. The terms "ein" and "eine" can therefore be understood as "at least one" or "exactly one." The use of the singular preferably includes the possibility of the components being plural, and vice versa.

[0036] It is noted that "vorzugsweise" and "bevorzugt" can be translated as "preferably" in English. A feature introduced by "vorzugsweise" or "bevorzugt" is purely optional, can be omitted, and does not constitute a limitation, for example, of claims.

[0037] The invention is described below by way of example with reference to the drawings. The drawings show: Fig. 1 a rear view of an embodiment of a backpack according to the invention, and Fig. 2 a perspective view of the backpack according to Fig. 1.

[0038] It should first be noted that the depicted embodiments are purely exemplary. Individual features can be implemented not only in the combination shown, but also individually or in other technically feasible combinations. For example, the features of one embodiment can be combined with features of another embodiment in any way. The number, design, and / or position of the markings are, in principle, arbitrary.

[0039] If a figure contains a reference numeral that is not explained in the immediately associated descriptive text, reference is made to the corresponding preceding or subsequent explanations in the figure description. Thus, the same reference numerals are used for identical or comparable components in the figures and are not explained again.

[0040] Fig. Figure 1 shows a webbing 1 on which a measuring scale 4 with markings 5 ​​is permanently applied.

[0041] For example, the markings 5 ​​can consist of numbers. These numbers are in Fig. 1 is represented by a dashed line, which underlines its exemplary nature.

[0042] The webbing 1 is guided through the adjustment buckle 2. In this example, this adjustment buckle 2 is an element fixed to the backpack, e.g., a shoulder strap 7.

[0043] One edge of the adjustment buckle 2 forms a reference point 3.

[0044] Through the interaction between webbing 1 and adjustment buckle 2, a desired effective length 6 of webbing 1 can be set.

[0045] As in Fig.As shown in Figure 2, the adjustment is made by moving the webbing 1 up or down within the adjustment buckle 2, as indicated by the double arrows.

[0046] For example, the user makes a symmetrical adjustment by aligning a selected, specific marking 5 with the reference point 3 of the adjustment buckle 2.

[0047] In the figures, the corresponding marking 5 is represented by the digit 8 as an example. This digit merely represents a potential illustrative visualization and does not restrict the scope of protection to specific numerical values ​​or graphic forms of the marking 5.

[0048] Since the measuring scale 4 is an integral feature of the webbing 1, the process of adjusting the webbing length for each user-selected mark 5 on the measuring scale 4 is precise, fast and repeatable.

[0049] Preferably, both straps 1 can be quickly and easily adjusted to a desired value. Reference symbol list 1 webbing strap 2 adjustable buckles 3 Reference point 4 measuring scale 5 Mark 6 effective length 7 Shoulder strap
