[0001] The present invention relates to a carrying system for an item of equipment comprising a load carrier which can be carried via shoulder straps, wherein the load carrier has a carrying plate with a plurality of recesses, at least one tensioning element and at least one positioning element, wherein the at least one tensioning element and the at least one positioning element are each arranged or can be arranged on at least one recess of the carrying plate.

[0002] Such a carrying system is known from US 2022 / 0007818 A1. The carrying system shown in this document is used to transport chainsaws, circular saws, or hammers, such as those required by firefighters, and allows these items of equipment to be carried on the back in a backpack-like manner. The equipment is secured to the carrying plate via one or more tensioning straps, while the positioning elements serve as stops that prevent the equipment from slipping out. The shoulder straps are attached to slots in the carrying plate.

[0003] Although some of the positioning elements in US 2022 / 0007818 A1 are mounted on elongated holes so that the carrying system can be adapted to minor differences in the equipment, it is nevertheless tailored to a very specific application. Furthermore, it is difficult to clamp the equipment to the system in such a way that it is immovably fixed to the carrying plate. Furthermore, it is not adaptable to the individual wearer.

[0004] The object of the present invention is therefore to provide an improved carrying system.

[0005] This problem is solved in several aspects by the systems according to the independent claims. Preferred embodiments are the subject of the dependent claims.

[0006] In a first independent aspect, the present invention comprises a carrying system for a piece of equipment with a load carrier that can be carried via shoulder straps, wherein the load carrier has a carrying plate with a plurality of recesses, at least one tensioning element, and at least one positioning element, wherein the at least one tensioning element and the at least one positioning element are each arranged or can be arranged on at least one recess of the carrying plate.

[0022] In one possible embodiment, the at least one clamping element and the at least one positioning element are directly connected, in particular screwed, to the support plate of the load carrier, while the at least one clamping element and the at least one positioning element are not directly connected to the support frame, but only indirectly via the connection of the load carrier to the support frame.

[0023] In one possible embodiment, the carrying frame represents a separate element that can be carried by a wearer in the manner of a backpack. The load carrier according to the invention can be detachably attached to this carrying frame.

[0024] In one possible embodiment, the positioning element(s) and clamping element(s) can be connected to the load carrier while the latter is not yet connected to the support frame.

[0025] In one possible embodiment, the load carrier can be detachably connected to the support frame in a state in which the positioning element(s) and clamping element(s) are already connected to the load carrier.

[0026] The first to fourth aspects of the present invention are each individually and independently of one another subject matter of the present invention.

[0027] However, the aspects can also be combined in any way. For example, the first aspect can be combined with the second, third, or fourth aspect. Likewise, the second aspect can be combined with the third or fourth aspect. Likewise, the third aspect can be combined with the fourth aspect.

[0055] The present invention further encompasses the use of the carrying systems as described above for transporting an item of equipment.

[0056] The present invention will now be described in more detail with reference to embodiments and drawings.

[0057] Showing: Fig. 1: a first embodiment of a carrying system according to the invention in a perspective view, Fig. 2: the Fig. 1 shown carrying system in a side view, Fig. 3: the in Fig. 1 and 2used load carrier according to the invention in a view from behind, Fig. 4: the load carrier according to the invention in a view from above, Fig. 5: the load carrier according to the invention in a perspective view from the side facing the back of the wearer, Fig. 6: a perspective view of the load carrier in a view from the side facing away from the back of the wearer, Fig. 7: the load carrier according to the invention in a side view, Fig. 8: the load carrier according to the invention, wherein the equipment item has been removed and the tensioning element has been opened, Fig. 9: a support plate for a load carrier of the present invention, which is sewn into a fabric cover, Fig. 10: a support plate according to the invention, Fig. 11: a second embodiment of a load carrier according to the invention and, Fig. 12: the Fig. 11 shown second embodiment in a perspective view from a side facing the back of the wearer.

[0058] A carrying system according to the present invention and a load carrier used therefor are described in Figures 1 - 10 in a first embodiment and in Figures 11 and 12 shown in a second embodiment.

[0059] The carrying system according to the invention for an item of equipment 1 comprises a load carrier 2 which can be carried on the back via shoulder straps 3.

[0060] The load carrier 2 comprises a support plate 4, on which at least one clamping element 6 and / or one positioning element 7 is arranged and / or can be arranged. For this purpose, the support plate has recesses 5 in which the clamping element 6 and / or the positioning elements 7 can be arranged.

[0061] In the exemplary embodiment, the recesses extend through the support plate 4 and, in particular, enable the clamping elements and / or positioning elements to be screwed to the support plate. As shown in particular in Fig. 2 and 5 As can be seen, the clamping element and / or the positioning elements can comprise threaded pins that pass through the recesses in the support plate and are screwed onto the side of the support plate facing the wearer's back with screw nuts to secure them to the support plate. In an alternative embodiment, the clamping elements and / or positioning elements can comprise internal threads into which screws are screwed. These screws pass through the recesses in the support plate and whose heads are arranged on the side of the support plate facing the wearer's back.

[0062] In the exemplary embodiment, each recess in the support plate defines a unique position for a clamping element and / or a positioning element. In alternative configurations, however, the use of elongated holes would also be conceivable, allowing the clamping elements and / or positioning elements to be connected to the support plate at any desired position along such an elongated hole. However, the configuration shown in the exemplary embodiment, with defined positions provided by the recesses, increases stability and reduces wear. The recesses are preferably in the form of circular openings.

[0063] The exemplary embodiments described according to the invention implement all independent aspects of the present invention in combination. However, the specific embodiments described for the individual aspects can also be used independently of one another.

[0064] According to a first aspect of the invention, as for example in Figures 1 , 7 and 8 As can be clearly seen, according to the invention, several positioning elements 7 are provided, which are arranged on both sides of the clamping element 6 and therefore fix the piece of equipment on both sides of the clamping element 6. In particular, the piece of equipment 1 is clamped on both sides of the clamping element 6 with positioning elements 7.

[0065] As is particularly evident from Figures 7 and 8 As can be seen, the piece of equipment does not directly touch the support plate, but rather, in this embodiment, is in contact exclusively with the clamping element and the positioning elements, so that the load is transferred exclusively to the support plate via these elements. This holds the piece of equipment particularly securely on the load carrier and prevents wear on the support plate.

[0066] In the exemplary embodiment, at least two positioning elements 7 are provided on each side of the clamping element 6, so that on both sides of the clamping element the piece of equipment is held by the positioning elements with respect to its longitudinal axis running transversely to the clamping element on both sides by being pressed against them by the clamping element.

[0067] Unlike the state of the art, the positioning elements therefore do not serve to prevent the equipment clamped between the support plate and the clamping element from slipping. Rather, the clamping is achieved with the positioning elements, not with the support plate itself.

[0068] As in the example in Figs. 11 and 12Of course, multiple clamping elements 6' can also be used, as shown. Here, too, at least one positioning element is provided on both sides of at least one clamping element, against which the piece of equipment is clamped. Preferably, at least one positioning element is provided on both sides of all clamping elements, with which clamping is achieved.

[0069] According to a second aspect of the present invention, the outer contour of at least one positioning element tapers in one direction and / or the positioning element has its rotationally symmetrical outer contour.

[0070] One direction or the axis of rotational symmetry is preferably perpendicular to the support plate and can in particular coincide with the axis of the screw connection with which the positioning element can be screwed to the support plate.

[0071] The positioning elements 7 have an outer contour that tapers continuously in a direction away from the wearer's back. The positioning elements 7 have a conical shape, with their outer contour being convex in a longitudinal section.

[0072] The positioning elements 7', on the other hand, are cylindrical with a flat upper side.

[0073] In the illustrated embodiment, the positioning elements 7 and 7' are designed as rotational bodies. However, they could also have multiple symmetry.

[0074] As can be seen from the exemplary embodiments, at least four positioning elements with a tapered outer contour are preferably provided, between which the piece of equipment can be clamped. The cylindrical positioning elements 7' can also be used to prevent contact of the piece of equipment with the support plate and to enable secure clamping with the tapered positioning elements.

[0075] The shape of the positioning elements makes them universally applicable, regardless of the specific shape of the equipment. Furthermore, the positioning elements, designed with a tapered outer contour, allow for secure lashing of the equipment. This allows for secure and wobble-free fixation of the equipment to the load carrier simply by lashing the tensioning element and the positioning elements.

[0076] Other shapes for the outer contours of the positioning elements are also conceivable. For example, they could have a polygonal cross-section, such as hexagonal or octagonal. However, the circular cross-section enables even more secure positioning, as the clamping force is not dependent on the rotational position of the positioning element relative to the piece of equipment. Conical positioning elements are also conceivable.

[0077] Furthermore, depending on the equipment, only positioning elements with a flat top surface, such as the 7' positioning elements, can be used, and positioning elements with a tapered outer contour can be omitted. If the equipment itself has a tapered contour, secure lashing is also possible with positioning elements with a flat top surface.

[0078] As particularly in Figures 9 and 10 According to a third aspect, the support plate 4 is sewn into a fabric pocket 14. In particular, fabric is placed around the support plate 4 and sewn in the edge areas via seams 16.

[0079] According to a second variant of the third aspect, the support plate consists of an aluminum-plastic layer material. In particular, at least two aluminum layers are provided, between which at least one plastic layer extends. For example, the material can be aluminum dibond.

[0080] In this embodiment, the recesses 5 in the support plate 4 can be formed by holes. Corresponding cutouts are provided in the material of the fabric bag, which correspond to these holes 5. The cutouts are preferably laser-cut from the material from which the fabric bag is made.

[0081] Sewing the carrying plate into a fabric bag increases user comfort and also allows for easier connection of the carrying plate to other components via the fabric bag into which the carrying plate is sewn.

[0082] In particular, the carrying plate 4 can be connected or connectable to the shoulder straps 3 via the fabric bag 14. Preferably, a detachable connection of the fabric bag to the shoulder straps is provided.

[0083] In particular, one or more fastening elements may be provided on the fabric bag for direct or indirect attachment to the shoulder straps.

[0084] In particular, the fabric bag can be connectable, in particular detachably connectable, to a carrying frame on which the shoulder straps are arranged and which is described in more detail below with regard to the fourth aspect.

[0085] For example, the fabric bag can have a pocket open at the top, allowing it to be slid over the top edge of the carrying frame. Zippered fastening is also possible.

[0086] A fourth aspect of the present invention is in Fig. 1 and 2 visible. According to this aspect, the shoulder straps 3 are not directly connected to the load carrier 2 according to the invention. Rather, the shoulder straps are arranged on a carrying frame 8, on which the load carrier 2 is in turn arranged. This configuration allows for much more ergonomic carrying. The carrying frame preferably has adjustment options for adapting to the respective wearer, in particular an adjustment device for adjusting the height of the shoulder straps.

[0087] The carrying frame may further comprise a lap belt 9. In particular, the carrying frame 8 connects the shoulder straps and the lap belt to each other.

[0088] The load carrier, and in particular the carrying plate 4, is preferably detachably connectable to the carrying frame 8. As already briefly described above, this can be achieved, for example, by connecting the carrying plate to the carrying frame 8 via zippers and / or via a pocket that is slipped over the upper part of the carrying frame.

[0089] The carrying frame 8 therefore represents a separate element that can be carried by a wearer in the manner of a backpack. The load carrier according to the invention can be detachably attached to this carrying frame 8.

[0090] Preferred embodiments of the present invention, which can be used in each of the aspects of the invention, are described in more detail below.

[0091] In particular, several identical positioning elements can be used.

[0092] In particular, several identical positioning elements tapering in one direction, as described above, can be used.

[0093] Furthermore, several types of positioning elements can be used which differ only in their size, in particular several types of positioning elements tapering in one direction, as described above.

[0094] Furthermore, in addition to or instead of these elements, one or more positioning elements having a flat upper side can be used.

[0095] The outer contour of the positioning elements is preferably formed by an elastic material, in particular rubber. In particular, the positioning elements can be rubber elements.

[0096] In the exemplary embodiment, the tensioning elements 6, 6' each comprise a belt element 12, which is received on a belt receiving element 13 in order to clamp the piece of equipment to the positioning elements 7, 7'. The belt receiving element 13 is, in particular, a tensioning ratchet with which the belt element 12 can be tightened.

[0097] The belt element 12 and the tensioning ratchet 13 are preferably each connected via a swivel joint to a fastening element, which in turn can be fastened to a recess in the support plate 4. In the belt element 12, the corresponding fastening element bears the reference numeral 10. The belt element can be made of plastic. In one possible embodiment, it has locking edges that interact with the tensioning ratchet.

[0098] In the Fig. 1 to 10In the embodiment shown, the belt element 12 and the belt receiving element 13 can be arranged independently of one another in recesses 5 of the support plate 4. In particular, the distance between the respective fastening elements of the belt element 12 and the belt receiving element 13 can also be freely determined.

[0099] In the Figs. 11 and 12 In the illustrated embodiment, however, the belt element 12 and the belt receiving element 13 are arranged on a common base element 17, which in turn is fastened to one or more recesses 5 of the support plate 4'. This determines the distance between the axis of rotation with which the belt element 12 is arranged on the base element and the axis of rotation with which the belt receiving element 13 is arranged thereon.

[0100] However, in this embodiment, it is also preferred that the tensioning element and the positioning elements are designed such that the piece of equipment is only clamped to the positioning elements via the belt element 12 and does not come into contact with the base element 17. Alternatively, however, clamping to the base element could also be chosen.

[0101] In the Fig. 1 to 10 In the first embodiment shown, the support plate 4 has a plurality of recesses 5 distributed over the support plate, to which the positioning elements 7 and / or the clamping elements 6 can be fastened in different arrangements in order to adapt the load carrier to different pieces of equipment 1. In particular, the recesses 5 are distributed in the form of a grid, in particular a regular grid, over the support plate 4, as is shown, for example, in Figures 9 and 10 is evident.

[0102] The carrying system can be provided with a set of positioning elements 7 and / or tensioning elements 6, which can be attached to the carrying plate 4 in a different arrangement depending on the piece of equipment 1 to be transported in order to transport the respective piece of equipment 1 safely.

[0103] The Fig. 1 to 10 The first embodiment shown allows flexible adaptation of the carrying system to different pieces of equipment.

[0104] In the Figs. 11 and 12In the second embodiment of the carrying system shown, however, the positions of the recesses 5 are adapted to a specific piece of equipment, and additional recesses have been omitted. If the carrying system is used in large quantities for the transport of the same piece of equipment, this version is more cost-effective to manufacture, since unnecessary recesses can be omitted. Furthermore, a specific adaptation of the arrangement of the recesses, and thus of the positioning elements and the clamping elements, to the specific shape of the equipment is possible even more precisely.

[0105] In this embodiment, the recesses 5 are therefore arranged irregularly, with a clamping element and / or positioning element being provided at each recess.

[0106] The carrying system according to the invention can be used in many areas. In particular, it allows the transport of equipment in the military sector, especially weapons and / or weapon components.
