Description

[0001] Bag for detachable attachment to a vehicle seat or to a rolling suitcase

[0002] The invention relates to a bag for detachable fastening to a vehicle seat part or to a rolling suitcase, wherein the bag comprises a first bag side wall and a second bag side wall which are connected by a base part arranged between the bag side walls and two intermediate wall parts, wherein the bag side walls, the base part and the intermediate wall parts form a storage compartment with a compartment opening which points upwards when the bag is used as intended, wherein the bag has a closure lid which, in a closed position, at least partially covers the compartment opening so that the storage compartment is closed and, in an open position, the storage compartment is accessible through the compartment opening, wherein the closure lid is made of a flexible material.

[0003] There are many different types of portable bags for transporting mobile devices such as laptops or tablet computers. Laptop bags are commonly used for transporting laptops. Laptop bags generally have a large, padded compartment into which the laptop can be inserted. Furthermore, laptop bags are often equipped with several smaller compartments within the compartment or with pockets on the outside of the bag. Furthermore, laptop bags often have a carrying handle or shoulder strap so that the bags can be easily carried while traveling.

[0004] Laptop protective cases are also used for the safe transport of laptops or tablet computers. These laptop protective cases usually consist of one or more thin, flexible, and soft layers of material designed to protect the laptop from impact. The laptop protective cases are often designed to fit tightly around the laptop enclosed within. This means that only the laptop and no other items can be stored in the laptop protective case. The laptop, housed in the laptop protective case, is stowed away in a travel bag, handbag, or backpack for transport.

[0005] During a trip, for example, on a commercial aircraft, laptop bags are brought into the passenger area as hand luggage. Due to the often limited space at the passenger seat, the laptop bag is usually stowed in the overhead compartment above the passenger seats. The footwell below a passenger seat generally offers limited storage space, so storing it there is usually not an option.

[0006] If an airline passenger wants to remove an item, such as a laptop, from the laptop bag, the laptop bag must first be removed from the overhead compartment in a complicated manner. Then, the laptop is removed from the laptop bag. While the laptop bag is stowed back in the overhead compartment, the laptop must be set aside. All in all, a very cumbersome process.

[0007] If an airline passenger were to use a laptop sleeve instead of a bulky laptop bag to transport their laptop, it could be stored in the footwell of the laptop bag, taking up significantly less space than a laptop bag. However, accessing the contents of the laptop bag or laptop sleeve is only possible in an inconvenient way by reaching into the footwell below the passenger seat. Unpacking the laptop is done by removing it from the laptop bag or laptop sleeve, then resting it on your lap and pushing the laptop bag or laptop sleeve back into the footwell.

[0008] It is considered to be the object of the present invention to provide a bag which can be detachably fastened to a vehicle seat part in a simple and quick manner, the contents of the bag being accessible when fastened to the vehicle seat part.

[0009] This object is achieved according to the invention in that a rigid securing section is arranged on the closure cover, wherein the securing section is flat and tab-shaped, so that the securing section of the closure cover can be inserted into a slot-shaped connecting section of the vehicle seat part, so that the pocket can be detachably secured to the vehicle seat part.

[0010] The vehicle seat part can be, among other things, a component of a car seat or a passenger seat in an airplane or train. The slot-shaped connecting section can be formed, for example, by a pocket attached to the back of a vehicle seat and opening upwards.

[0011] Advantageously, the first bag side wall, the second bag side wall, the base part, and / or the partition parts can also be made of the flexible material. The flexible material is advantageously a textile or leather or comparable materials from which bags are usually made. The flexible material is characterized by being deformable and, in particular, allowing deformation of the closure lid when the closure lid is moved from the open position to the closed position.

[0012] The rigid securing section consists of a material that is significantly stiffer than the flexible material, such as a plastic, metal, or wooden plate. Such a material would be unsuitable for use, especially for the closure lid, since it would not allow deformation when the closure lid is moved from the open position to the closed position.

[0013] The rigid securing section can advantageously be formed by a plastic plate incorporated into the closure cover. Gluing a

[0014] Plastic plate on an inside or outside of the

[0015] The closure cover can form a rigid securing section. Furthermore, a connection of the plastic plate, for example, by rivets or a clamping device, to the—possibly shortened—closure cover can also form a rigid securing section. It is also conceivable that the surface dimension of the securing section matches the surface dimension of the closure cover.

[0016] The securing section can also be used to arrange the bag, for example, in an external compartment of a suitcase or shoulder bag. This allows the storage space provided by the suitcase or shoulder bag to be easily expanded. The securing section can advantageously be arranged in the external compartment in the closed position, so that the storage compartment is not accessible.

[0017] In order to detachably fasten the pocket to the vehicle seat part, the closure cover is pushed with a side of the closure cover facing away from the pocket at least far enough into the slot-shaped connecting section of the vehicle seat part so that a large part of the rigid securing section is pushed inside the slot-shaped connecting section. This creates a positive connection between the closure cover and the securing section of the vehicle seat part. Due to the rigid design of the closure cover, the closure cover cannot slide out of the securing section. In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the closure cover is arranged on the first side wall of the pocket in such a way that the pocket can be detachably secured to the vehicle seat part both in the closed position and in the open position of the closure cover.For this purpose, the closure cover is advantageously arranged in a region along the upwardly facing compartment opening of the first pocket side wall. For this purpose, a side of the closure cover facing the pocket can be secured directly to the pocket side wall, for example by means of a seam, weld, adhesive, rivet, or clamp connection.

[0018] In an advantageous implementation of the inventive concept, the closure lid is designed as a single piece with the first side wall. This allows the pocket to be manufactured particularly cost-effectively, since a joining step for connecting the closure lid to the side wall can be eliminated. Cost-effective production of the pocket is also possible because less material waste is possible when manufacturing a single-piece closure lid.

[0019] According to an advantageous implementation of the inventive concept, the closure lid is trapezoidal in shape. The base of the trapezoid, i.e., the longer base side of the trapezoid, is connected to the side wall of the pocket. The shorter base side of the trapezoid faces away from the pocket. The trapezoidal shape of the closure lid of the pocket according to the invention also allows the closure lid to be inserted into slot-shaped securing sections of vehicle seat parts whose slot width is smaller than the width of the pocket side wall.

[0020] In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the closure cap has at least one recess penetrating the closure cap. The recess is advantageously positioned within the closure cap such that the recess is completely surrounded by the material layer of the closure cap. Thus, the recess can be used as a suspension on a hook, an eyelet, or the like.

[0021] In an advantageous embodiment of the bag according to the invention, a tab is arranged on an outward-facing side of the first bag side wall and / or the second bag side wall, the tab being secured to the bag side wall at the respective tab end regions, such that a slit-like through-opening is formed between the tab and the first bag side wall and / or the second bag side wall. Advantageously, the tab is oriented such that the slit-like through-opening can be reached through in a vertical direction when the bag is used as intended. This creates the possibility of securing the bag to an extended telescopic handle of a rolling suitcase.To do this, the extended telescopic handle of the rolling case is passed through the slot-like opening and the bag is placed on top of the rolling case or hung next to the case, secured by the telescopic handle. This ensures a positive connection between the bag and the rolling case and allows it to be transported comfortably along with it.

[0022] Advantageously, a width of the slit-shaped through-opening is adapted to a width of the telescopic handle of a rolling suitcase, so that a secure fit of the bag on the rolling suitcase is possible. For this purpose, it can optionally be provided that a tab is arranged both on the outward-facing side of the first bag side wall and on the outward-facing side of the second bag side wall, wherein a width of one slit-shaped through-opening differs from a width of the other slit-shaped through-opening. Thus, depending on the width of the telescopic handle, the bag can be attached to the suitcase either with one slit-shaped through-opening with a small width or with the slit-shaped through-opening with a large width.

[0023] According to an advantageous implementation of the inventive concept, an outer pocket is formed on an outward-facing side of the first bag side wall or the second bag side wall, wherein an upward-facing pocket opening is formed by the slit-like through-opening and the outer pocket has a window-like viewing recess with an upward-facing pocket opening. This provides further storage options into which flat objects, such as a mobile phone or a tablet computer, can be inserted. To attach the bag to the extended telescopic handle, the telescopic handle is passed through the window-like viewing recess and through the slit-like through-opening and the bag is placed on top of the rolling suitcase or hung on the side next to the suitcase, fixed to the telescopic handle.

[0024] When mounted on a vehicle seat, the outer pocket faces the passenger. The window-like viewing cutout allows mobile devices placed in the outer pocket to remain easily visible and accessible. Furthermore, the screen of the mobile device placed in the outer pocket remains operable.

[0025] According to an advantageous implementation of the inventive concept, the closure lid at least partially covers the outer pocket in both the closed and open positions. Due to the partial coverage of the outer pocket by the closure lid, the mobile device inserted in the outer pocket is protected from external stresses, such as impacts.

[0026] The bag according to the invention can also have additional outer pockets arranged on an outward-facing side of the first bag side wall or the second bag side wall. It is also possible for these additional outer pockets not to have window-like viewing cutouts, so that small parts or smaller objects can also be stored therein. Optionally, it can also be provided that the outer pocket is closed by a transparent material layer in the area of ​​the window-like viewing cutout, so that the contents of the outer pocket are visible from the outside.

[0027] In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, at least one securing element is arranged on the closure lid, with which the closure lid can be releasably secured to the first pocket side wall or the second pocket side wall in the closed position and in the open position. The securing element can be designed, for example, as a hook-and-loop connection, wherein a first hook-and-loop element is attached to the closure lid and a second hook-and-loop element is attached to the pocket side wall, and both hook-and-loop elements are connected to one another or separated in the closed position and in the open position.

[0028] In an advantageous implementation of the inventive concept, it is provided that the bag has at least one hook, latch, holder, magnet, metal element, zipper, snap fastener, cord and / or Velcro connection for releasably fastening the bag to the vehicle seat part.

[0037] Fig. 1 shows a bag 1 according to the invention. The bag 1 comprises a first bag side wall 2 and a second bag side wall 3, which are connected by a base part 4 arranged between the bag side walls 2, 3 and two intermediate wall parts 5. The bag side walls 2, 3, the base part 4 and the intermediate wall parts 5 form a storage compartment 6 with a compartment opening 7 that faces upwards when the bag 1 is used as intended. The bag 1 has a trapezoidal closure lid 8, which is shown in a closed position in Fig. 1. In the closed position, the closure lid 8 at least partially covers the compartment opening 7, so that the storage compartment 6 is closed and the contents accommodated in the storage compartment 6 are protected. Furthermore, a rigid securing section 9 is arranged on the closure lid 8.The rigid securing section 9 is designed as a flat plastic reinforcement incorporated within the closure lid 8. The position of the rigid securing section 9 within the closure lid 8 is indicated in Fig. 1 by a dashed line. Alternatively, the rigid securing section may not be incorporated into the closure lid, but may be exposed on its longer transverse side and connected to the material of the pocket by a permanent connection - e.g., riveting or clamping.

[0038] The bag 1 has an outer pocket 10 on the outward-facing side of the first bag side wall 2 and the second bag side wall 3. In Fig. 1 and in Fig. 2, the outer pocket 10 arranged on the second bag side wall 3 is not visible due to the perspective view of the bag 1. The outer pocket 10 has an upward-facing pocket opening 11. In addition, the outer pocket 10 comprises a viewing recess 12. The closure lid 8 is designed such that in the closed position, as shown in Fig. 1, it at least partially covers the outer pocket 10, so that the contents of the outer pocket 10 are protected during transport of the bag 1.

[0039] In Fig. 2, the bag 1 according to the invention is shown in an open position. For this purpose, the closure lid 8 is folded up onto the side of the second bag side wall 3, so that the storage compartment 6 is accessible through the compartment opening 7. Furthermore, the outer pocket 10 arranged on the first bag side wall 2 is fully accessible when the closure lid 8 is in the open position, so that the contents of the outer pocket 10 are visible through the window-like viewing recess 12. Advantageously, for example, a tablet computer can be accommodated in the storage compartment 6, which can be operated through the window-like viewing recess 12.

[0040] Fig. 3 shows an assembly process in which the pocket 1 according to the invention is fastened to the vehicle seat part 14 designed as a passenger seat pocket. The vehicle seat 13 is a passenger seat in an aircraft. The closure cover 8 is shown in a half-open position. For the releasable fastening of the pocket 1 to the vehicle seat part 14, the closure cover 8 is pushed into the slot-shaped connecting section 15 of the vehicle seat part 14 with a side of the closure cover 8 facing away from the pocket 1, so that a large part of the rigid securing section 9 is pushed inside the slot-shaped connecting section 15. This creates a positive connection between the closure cover 8 and the securing section 9 of the vehicle seat part 14. Due to the rigid design of the closure cover 8, the closure cover 8 cannot slide out of the securing section 9.

[0041] Fig. 4 shows the pocket 1 fastened to the vehicle seat part 14. By fastening the pocket 1 to the slot-shaped connecting section 15 of the vehicle seat, convenient access to the contents in the storage compartment 6 is possible. In addition, the outer pocket 10 arranged on the first pocket side wall 2 faces the passenger when the pocket 1 is fastened. This makes it possible to operate a mobile phone or tablet computer inserted into the outer pocket 10. Fig. 5 shows the pocket 1 according to the invention, which is fastened to a vehicle seat part 14 designed as a fold-down table of the passenger seat. The positive connection of the closure cover 8 to the fastening section 9 takes place in a similar way to the connection of the closure cover 8 to a passenger seat pocket.

[0042] To do this, first a table locking element 16 of the fold-down table is released in order to be able to fold the table down. Then the closing cover 8 is pushed into the slot-shaped connecting section which is created between the table and the passenger seat and is not shown in the figure. The closing cover 8 is pushed so far into the slot-shaped connecting section 15 that the rigid securing section 9 is largely received therein. In addition, a recess 17 which penetrates the closing cover 8 and is shown in Fig. 3 is provided. This serves to be able to actuate the table locking element 16 after the closing cover 8 has been pushed in and to be able to secure the table in a raised position on the passenger seat.The bag 1 is thus at a comfortable height on the vehicle seat 13, so that particularly good accessibility to the storage compartment 6 and the outer pocket 10 is possible.

[0043] Fig. 6 shows the bag 1 according to the invention, which is fastened to an extended telescopic handle 18 of a rolling suitcase 19. The bag 1 according to the invention has an outer pocket 10 with an upwardly facing pocket opening 11 on the first bag side wall 2. The pocket opening 11 is formed by a slit-like through-opening 21 formed between a tab 20 and the first bag side wall 2. Furthermore, the outer pocket 10 has a window-like viewing recess 12. To fasten the bag 1 to the extended telescopic handle 18, the telescopic handle 18 is passed through the window-like viewing recess 12 and through the slit-like through-opening 21.This creates a positive connection between the bag 1 and the telescopic handle 18 so that the bag 1 cannot slip sideways and thus a safer and more comfortable one-handed transport of the rolling suitcase 19 together with the bag 1 is possible.

[0044] In the illustrations of Figures 1 to 6, only individual elements of several similar elements are identified by way of example with a reference symbol.
