Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of sports, in particular to a bag for carrying items specially designed for use when performing sports activities and to a piece of luggage comprising such a bag. Background Art

[0002] When playing sports in general, and in particular in a gym (e.g. circuit training), two types of items usually have to be brought to the practice location, namely: items used during practice, such as towels, mobile phones, identification cards (if it is a gym), hand grippers, magnesium, protective gear, rubber bands, skipping ropes, etc., and other items not used during practice, such as spare clothes, shoes, hygiene products, etc., which should be left in a locker room or similar place.

[0003] Typically, backpacks are not allowed into gyms due to their bulk as they may cause accidents, but small bags with necessary elements for exercise performance (such as those mentioned above) are allowed.

[0004] However, these bags (like backpacks), although smaller, are still cumbersome because they are usually left on the floor of the gym or the area where exercise is performed. On the other hand, if they are left in a remote area, they are no longer within the reach of the user, thereby slowing down his / her training.

[0005] Therefore, there is a need to carry luggage that allows a person doing exercise to carry the items he / she needs during exercise in one bag, and to carry a separate backpack for the items he / she needs for proper hygiene practices, which means that the two pieces must be carried separately.

[0006] Furthermore, it is becoming increasingly necessary to use mobile devices during exercise in order to have access to training applications, tutorials, stopwatches, music, etc. Therefore, there is also a need to have the mobile device within reach and in a position that makes it visible during training, but avoids possible knocks and being stepped on by third parties.

[0007] The object of the present invention is to solve the problem of bags being a nuisance to other people performing sports, but at the same time allow the bag to be within reach of its owner, thereby supporting a mobile phone or equivalent electronic device and adding a huge advantage in the portability of items required for the performance of sports, and providing additional advantages. Summary of the invention

[0008] The present invention provides a bag designed with features that allow its advantageous use during sports activities and which can form part of a more complete piece of luggage that also includes a backpack for carrying other more bulky items that are not required during sports activities.

[0009] The bag includes at least one magnetic element, preferably a magnet, on any portion of its outer surface. The magnetic element allows the bag to be connected to a metal element external to the bag, such as metal elements typically found in sports spaces; such as weight machines, aerobic machines, racks, poles, posts, goals, baskets, etc.

[0010] For example, the stand is a metal structure that allows a large number of exercises due to its shape and support. The user will place the bag on this metal structure by means of magnetic elements. In this way, the bag is not on the ground, but is fixed to these structures, making it very easy to fix it and move it to another location and avoiding possible accidents.

[0011] Optionally, various magnetic elements may be provided on the outer surface of the bag for a better grip.Preferably, in order to prevent the bag from being able to slide out of the metal structure due to its weight, the magnetic elements may be coated with an anti-slip material.

[0012] Preferably, the anti-slip material is fixed to its outer surface, being applied in molten form on said surface. In this way, the bag and the magnetic element are coated by molten form of the anti-slip material, for example applied as a layer. Thus, the anti-slip material, in addition to preventing the bag from sliding along its entire surface, also serves as a connection means between the magnetic element and the bag.

[0013] The bag will have at least one magnetic element, and in the case of various magnetic elements, they are preferably arranged vertically so that they can thus be easily fixed to narrow and elongated elements of the movement space. This is the case with the support column, so that the bag is held in place, to be able to, for example, keep it open and its contents do not fall out.

[0014] Preferably, on the side of the bag opposite to the side on which the magnetic element is arranged, the bag has at least one magnetic support connected to the outer surface of the bag, which allows the fixing of a mobile device. This magnetic support is designed to be able to fix a mobile device or other device with equivalent functionality. It is also possible to place any element to which a metal sticker has been added at the rear.

[0015] In this way, while performing sports, and after securing the mobile device or the like to the bag by means of the magnetic support, the user will be able to access different applications that he / she wishes to use, such as: a stopwatch, videos illustrating how the exercises should be performed, a recorder, etc., keeping the mobile device or the like in a safe and effective position.

[0016] Preferably, the bag has an upper opening provided with a lid (9) with a magnetic closure (10) which allows the bag (1) to be kept in an open position by folding the lid (9) and fixing it to a magnetic support (6). This feature allows the bag to be kept open during sports activities, allowing access to its interior in a quick and comfortable manner.

[0017] Preferably, the bag can be connected to the backpack by at least one magnetic and / or non-magnetic connecting element (11).

[0018] The bag can be connected to the backpack using the same magnetic elements provided for its connection to the metal structure of the sports space. To this end, the backpack will include corresponding elements that facilitate magnetic connection.

[0019] According to another aspect of the invention, the bag can be part of a luggage piece formed by at least the above-mentioned bag and backpack. The two elements can be connected together so that the transportation of the two is carried out as a single package, thereby facilitating their handling. The user can therefore carry separately in the backpack the items he / she does not need during the exercise, which may even be wet in the case of towels and sanitary products. The items he / she needs during the exercise can be carried in the bag, such as a small towel, a mobile device, an identification card, a gripper, magnesium, a protective gear, a rubber band, a skipping rope, etc.

[0020] In addition to carrying various items separately, when the user is doing sports, he / she only needs to separate the bag from the backpack to use the bag independently. The connection method is through a simple and comfortable method.

[0021] Alternatively or additionally, the bag and backpack may include non-magnetic connecting elements, such as straps. Alternatively, the luggage may include a tongue and groove system, wherein the bag may include a male element and the backpack may include a fastener, or vice versa. Two non-magnetic connecting elements allow connection between the two.

[0022] In this sense, in cases where the user wishes to make the connection of the components more secure, for example if he / she wants to check the luggage on board an aircraft and is concerned that the luggage may be subjected to sudden impacts, the luggage includes traditional accessory connection devices that provide greater security for the connection, such as straps, brackets or equivalent.

[0023] The proposed solution therefore solves the problems presented in the prior art by preventing the bag from being placed inside a backpack, while being able to be placed in different places at the same time for easy access, and even to be used as a support for mobile devices etc. As luggage, it also prevents contact with wet or dirty items, prevents internal organization problems, and is more comfortable.

[0033] The object of the invention is a bag (1) which allows comfortable performance of sports activities without disturbing other people who are also performing sports, one embodiment of which is characterized by providing easy access to the materials necessary for performing sports activities, enabling a mobile device (7) to be within sight, and having elements for securing the bag (1) to an overhead structure and to a backpack (2) to form a complete piece of luggage (3).

[0034] As in Figure 1 As can be seen, the bag (1) object of the present invention comprises a magnetic element (4), whereby the bag (1) is connected to a metal structure (5) in the movement area and to a backpack (2) in order to suitably move it from one place to another as a single piece of luggage (3).

[0035] The magnetic element (4) may be coated with an anti-slip material, preferably silicone.

[0036] The anti-slip material has a dual function, on the one hand, preventing the magnetic element (4) from sliding off the metal structure (5), and on the other hand, connecting the magnetic element to the bag (1) by melting the anti-slip material itself, thereby allowing it to be attached to the textile material of the bag (1).

[0037] Since the metal structures (5) in the movement space are usually in the form of columns and are therefore narrow, it is optionally envisaged that the bag (1) can have more than one magnetic element (4) and that the magnetic elements (4) are arranged vertically.

[0038] In a practical embodiment, the bag ( 1 ) may optionally comprise a magnetic support ( 6 ) on its front exterior designed to fix a mobile device ( 7 ).

[0039] In addition, the bag (1) has an upper opening (8) and may have in its lid (9) an element that can be connected to a magnetic closure (10), so that, when the lid (9) is folded, the magnetic support (6) fixes the lid (9) by being connected to the element that can be connected to the magnetic closure (10), and the lid (9) can thus remain open so that the interior of the bag (1) is fully accessible.

[0040] The backpack (2) comprises a magnetic or ferromagnetic element (12) connected to the magnetic element (4) of the bag (1). Thus a piece of luggage (3) is formed which allows the bag (1) and the backpack (2) to be transported together as a single piece.

[0041] The bag (1) may also include non-magnetic connecting elements (11) which allow a more secure connection to other objects. These non-magnetic connecting elements (11) are specially designed to connect the bag (1) to the backpack (2), and they make it impossible for the bag (1) and the backpack (2) to be separated from each other in the event of an accidental impact or pulling.

[0042] In a preferred embodiment, the non-magnetic connecting element (11) comprises a male element (13) and a fastener (14), optionally the male element (13) can be arranged in the bag (1) and the fastener (14) in the backpack (2).
