Backpack with integrated cloth compartment

Abstract

Backpack (1), in particular a backpack for rescue workers, characterized in that a cloth compartment (2) is provided in a wall (10), preferably in the base area (11), in which a removable, layable cloth (3), in particular a rescue cloth (3), can be stowed, wherein the cloth compartment (2) is arranged and designed in such a way that the cloth (3) can be removed without the backpack (1) having to be put down and / or opened for removal.

Description

[0001] The invention relates to a backpack, in particular a backpack for rescue workers, with a compartment for storing a cloth, in particular a rescue cloth.

[0002] Currently, carrying sheets are typically transported in the main compartment of backpacks or in separate externally accessible pockets. If such a carrying sheet is needed in an emergency, the backpack must first be removed, the corresponding pocket opened, and the carrying sheet taken out. Only then can the carrying sheet be unfolded and the person to be transported placed on it. This results in a loss of time and hinders the rapid evacuation of injured or immobilized persons, particularly in tactical or emergency medical service operations.

[0003] The object of the invention is therefore to provide a backpack in which a carrying sling stored in the backpack is particularly quick and easy to access, so that an evacuation can be initiated without loss of time.

[0004] This problem is solved by a backpack having the features of claim 1.

[0005] According to the invention, a compartment is provided in one wall of the backpack, preferably in the bottom area, in which a removable, expandable cloth, in particular a rescue cloth, can be stored. The cloth compartment is arranged and designed such that the cloth can be removed without having to put the backpack down or open it.

[0006] This allows for particularly quick access to the rescue sheet, saving valuable time during evacuations. In particular, it ensures that rescue workers can deploy the sheet immediately without having to completely remove the backpack first.

[0007] It has proven advantageous for the cloth compartment to have an opening to the outside that can be closed by a flap. The flap is designed so that, when inserted, it reliably secures the cloth in the compartment and releases it only by applying a deformation force. This ensures the cloth is securely stowed, but according to a further advantageous embodiment, it can be immediately removed when needed by pulling on a carrying loop protruding from the compartment.

[0008] It is also advantageous if the flap is trapezoidal, with the free end forming the longer base of the trapezoid, and the flap, due to its sloping sides, automatically pulls itself into the cloth compartment. This results in a self-locking function of the flap, which prevents the cloth from unintentionally falling out.

[0009] Furthermore, it is advantageous if an elastic band is provided on the inside of the cloth compartment, under which the flap for closing the opening can be inserted. The elastic tension additionally holds the flap in position, thus ensuring particularly reliable securing of the cloth.

[0010] Further advantageous embodiments result from the further dependent claims or their possible subcombinations.

[0011] The invention is further explained below with reference to the drawings. Specifically, the schematic representation in: Fig. 1 a schematic perspective view of a backpack according to the invention, Fig. 2 the backpack according to Fig. 1 in a side perspective, Fig. 3 a schematic representation of an enlarged view of the cloth compartment with a trapezoidal flap, Fig. 4 a schematic of the cloth compartment with the flap open, Fig. 5 a schematic representation of the function of the tab when inserted under the elastic band, Fig. 6 a schematic representation of the carrying strap hanging from the fabric compartment with concealed flap, Fig. 7 A schematic representation of a rescue sheet in its unfolded state with several carrying loops, as well as in its folded state, Fig. 8 a schematic top view of the opened backpack, Fig. 9 a schematic representation of an interior view of the opened backpack, and Fig. 10 A schematic representation of another interior view of the opened backpack.

[0012] The identical reference numbers in the figures denote identical or similarly acting elements.

[0013] Fig. Figure 1 shows a schematic perspective view of a backpack 1 according to the invention, in which a wall 10 with a cloth compartment 2 arranged therein is provided in the bottom area 11. Due to the arrangement in the bottom area 11, the compartment is in a particularly convenient position for quick access without having to remove the backpack 1.

[0014] Fig. 2 shows the backpack 1 according to Fig. Figure 1 shows a side view, with a carrying loop 6 of a rescue sheet 3 stored in the cloth compartment 2 protruding from the opening. This ensures that the rescue sheet 3 can be removed immediately by pulling on the loop 6, thus achieving particularly rapid operational readiness.

[0015] Fig. Figure 3 shows an enlarged view of the cloth compartment 2 with a trapezoidal flap 5, the free end 9 of which forms the longer base and which is formed by sloping sides 8. The trapezoidal shape allows the flap 5 to fold when inserted (see Figure 3). Fig. 5 and Fig. The cloth is automatically drawn into compartment 2, reliably closing it and holding it in place. The advantage is that no complicated locking mechanism is required, ensuring simple and robust handling.

[0016] Fig. Figure 4 shows the cloth compartment 2 with the flap 5 open, which can be inserted under an elastic band 7 (see figure). Fig. 5, whereby the opening 4 of the cloth compartment 2 becomes visible. The combination of tab 5 and elastic band 7 results in a particularly secure locking mechanism that can be released with a single movement. This ensures that the cloth 3 remains reliably in the compartment, but is immediately available in case of use.

[0017] Fig. Figure 5 shows the function of the tab 5 when inserted under the elastic band 7, with arrows P indicating the direction of movement and the angled design of the sides 8 facilitating the automatic retraction and self-locking of the tab 5 into the fabric compartment 2. The advantage of this design is that the tab 5 not only holds securely but is also automatically guided into its locking position, thus largely eliminating operating errors.

[0018] Fig. Figure 6 shows another view of the cloth compartment 2 in the base area 11 of the backpack 1, with the opening 4 shown with the flap 5 inserted. A carrying loop 6 of the rescue sheet 3 protrudes from the opening 4. This arrangement allows the rescue sheet 3 to be removed immediately at any time by pulling on the loop 6, even when securely closed. The securing flap is simply pulled out along with it. The advantage is that a dual effect is achieved: on the one hand, the sheet 3 is reliably secured by the flap 5 and protected; on the other hand, it remains readily accessible, allowing the rescue operation to be initiated without delay.

[0019] Fig. Figure 7 shows the rescue sheet 3 in its folded state, as well as in its unfolded state with several carrying loops 6. This clearly demonstrates that, despite its compact storage in compartment 2, the sheet 3 can be laid out over a large area and carried by several helpers using the loops 6. The advantage lies in the particularly space-saving integration of the sheet into the backpack 1, without impairing its functionality.

[0020] Fig. Figure 8 shows a top view of the open backpack 1, with the cloth compartment 2 visible with its flap 5 open and the carrying strap 6 protruding from the compartment. In this example, two cloth compartments 2 are provided. This arrangement ensures that the rescue cloth 3 remains immediately accessible even when the backpack is open, thus further increasing the speed of deployment.

[0021] Fig. Figure 9 shows an interior view of the open backpack 1, illustrating the inner wall 12 of the cloth compartment 2. The additional inner wall 12 allows the compartment to be integrated stably and reliably into the backpack structure. The advantage is that the rescue cloth 3 is stored securely without significantly reducing the storage space of the rest of the backpack.

[0022] Fig. Figure 10 shows another interior view of the open backpack 1, in which the inner wall 12 and a carrying loop 6 protruding from the cloth compartment 2 are shown. Here it becomes particularly clear that the rescue cloth 3 can be removed at any time by pulling on the loop 6, thus further emphasizing the essential advantage of the invention – the immediate availability of the rescue cloth without having to remove the backpack.
