Description

Description Title of the invention: Removable organizer for bag The present invention relates to an organizer for bag making it easier to identify notebooks and documents relating to a subject, for example. Prior Art Many children have difficulty quickly finding their notebooks / books in their bags, preferably in their backpacks. This can create frustration and associated stress for these children. This difficulty can be associated with different disorders such as attention deficit disorder (ADD) with or without hyperactivity, dyspraxia or autism. Children with ADHD tend to be easily distracted when they receive too much information. In class, it is necessary to avoid any double tasks and to get to the essentials, to avoid any embellishments on the documents that could distract them. Due to their disorders, these children frequently forget their coats, jackets or any accessories (caps etc.) at school or on outings. They especially have difficulty finding their school supplies in their schoolbag when there are several supplies in it (too much information) and sometimes cannot find them at all. Dyspraxia is a motor development disorder that affects the planning, execution, coordination, and automation of voluntary movements. The movements of a child with dyspraxia are slow and clumsy. A child with dyspraxia will often have difficulty dressing, washing, holding cutlery, and playing games that require fine motor skills. People with autism have a neuroatypical thought process. The neuroatypical functioning of their thought process leads them to categorize and compartmentalize information in their brain. Thus, there remains a need to enable better organization in bags, particularly for children suffering from disorders affecting their concentration, as defined above. The applicant has developed a removable bag organizer, allowing a user to instantly find what is contained in the bag, in particular notebooks, books, folders or binders associated with a subject, thus limiting the impact of disorders such as ADD, dyspraxia and / or autism. Statement of the invention Thus, according to a first aspect, the invention relates to a removable organizer (1) for a bag (6) comprising: a. a plurality of expandable compartments (2) formed by partitions; b. at least one hook-and-loop fastener (3) on the rear face of the organizer, allowing the organizer (1) to be attached to said bag (6). Preferably, said organizer (1) according to the invention further comprises at least one hook-and-loop fastener (4) on one of the partitions of each compartment (2), making it possible to fix a marker (5) also comprising a hook-and-loop fastener, in order to identify each compartment (2) distinctly. Preferably, said markers (5) have different colors. Even more preferably, said markers (5) are 4 cm wide, 6.7 cm wide and 4 mm thick. Preferably, said compartments (2) have the same dimensions. Preferably, said organizer (1) according to the invention comprises at least 2, at least 3, at least 4, at least 5, at least 6, at least 7, at least 8, at least 9, at least 10, at least 11, or at least 12 compartments (2). According to a preferred embodiment, said organizer (1) according to the invention comprises 11 compartments (2). According to another preferred embodiment, said organizer (1) according to the invention comprises 6 compartments (2). According to one embodiment, said compartments (2) have a size adapted to the capacity of notebooks, books, folders, and / or binders. Preferably, said compartments (2) have a height greater than 29.7 cm. Even more preferably, said compartments (2) have a height greater than 32 cm. Preferably, said compartments (2) have a width greater than 21 centimeters. Even more preferably, said compartments (2) have a width greater than 24 centimeters. Even more preferably, said compartments (2) have a width of 29.5 cm and a height of 32.5 cm. According to one embodiment, the thickness of the organizer (1) according to the invention is 3.4 cm in its undeployed form, in the case where 11 compartments (2) are present. Preferably, the thickness of each deployed compartment (2) is 6 cm. According to one embodiment, the thickness of the organizer (1) according to the invention is 66 cm in its deployed form, in the case where 11 compartments (2) are present. Preferably, the front face of the organizer (1) comprises pockets (8, 9, 10). Even more preferably, the size of the pockets (8, 9, 10) is adapted to contain a ruler, a calculator, cards and / or keys. Preferably, the exterior of said organizer (1) according to the invention is made of polyester D and / or nylon D. According to one embodiment, the interior of the compartments (2) is made from a mixture of polyester, calcium powder and latex glue, preferably 55% polyester, 5% calcium powder and 40% latex glue. According to another embodiment, the interior of the compartments (2) is made of cardboard. According to a second aspect, the invention relates to an assembly comprising a bag (6) and an organizer (1) according to the invention. According to one embodiment, the invention relates to an assembly comprising a bag (6) provided with self-gripping closures (7) on its inner face and an organizer (1) according to the invention, said self-gripping closures (7) of the bag (6) being positioned opposite the self-gripping closures (3) of said organizer (1), in order to hold said organizer (1) within said bag (6). Preferably, said bag (6) is chosen from: backpacks, school bags, briefcases, handbags, travel bags, tote bags. Said organizer (1) is positioned in said bag (6) horizontally or vertically. This depends on the size and configuration of said bag (6). According to one embodiment, in the case of a backpack, said organizer (1) will generally be positioned vertically. According to another embodiment, in the case of a tote bag for example, said organizer (1) can be positioned horizontally. According to a third aspect, the invention relates to the use of the organizer (1) according to the invention or of the Assembly according to the invention to facilitate the organization of people suffering from attention deficit disorder with or without hyperactivity, dyspraxia or autism. Preferably, said persons suffering from attention deficit disorder with or without hyperactivity, dyspraxia or autism are children. For children with ADHD, the height of the dividers being greater than the size of large notebooks / binders (sizes 21x29.7 cm or 24x32 cm), the child cannot see their notebooks and is therefore not lost in the middle of their supplies. Their attention can also be focused solely on the color markers (only one piece of information to process). In addition, their things will always be stored in the same place and will not continually change place inside the bag. For children with dyspraxia, the organizer according to the invention allows the child not to have to handle all of his notebooks (or his binders, his books or his folders) when looking for a supply. He simply has to slide his hand into the compartment concerned to take out his notebook (or his binders, his books or his folders). The pockets (8, 9, 10) allow the child to easily remove his tools, for example a ruler, a calculator, cards and / or keys. The pockets (8, 9, 10) do not include flaps, which allows easy opening and closing. The markers (5), preferably having different colors, have self-gripping closures, allowing the child suffering from dyspraxia to position and remove them alone. For autistic children, the organizer according to the invention is suitable for their highly sectorized neuro-atypical functioning thanks to the different compartments for each subject. In addition, some autistic children have very clear preferences for certain colors and, conversely, a total and unexplained aversion to a particular color. It is therefore advisable to avoid giving a notebook in a color for which the child might have an aversion. Hence the interest in offering removable color markers. Thus, if the user has an aversion to a color, they will simply not position it in their organizer. Definitions For the purposes of the invention, the term "organizer" means a device for compartmentalizing a volume, a receptacle or a container, for example a bag, and thus for organizing the storage of said volume, receptacle or container. By "removable" is meant that the organizer according to the invention can be positioned in the bag and easily removed so that the child can use his bag, preferably his backpack, outside of school hours for example, without the organizer being present. By "expandable" is meant that the compartments of the organizer, and therefore the organizer as a whole, can take up more or less space depending on the contents of each compartment. These compartments are expandable independently of each other. In a bag, preferably a backpack, only the compartments used expand more or less in their entirety depending on the thickness of the items they contain, for example notebooks, binders, books or folders. By "inner face" of a bag is meant the inner side of the bag, corresponding for example in the context of a backpack to the internal surface of the bag of the surface in contact with the user's back. Said face is shown in [Fig.5] where said hook-and-loop fasteners are visible. By "markers" are meant elements allowing the user to identify each compartment differently. This allows a user, for example, to determine which compartment corresponds to which material, for example. By "bag" is meant a flexible container or receptacle designed to hold something. Preferably, the bags according to the invention are backpacks and / or school bags and / or briefcases and / or handbags and / or travel bags and / or tote bags. By "compartment" is meant according to the invention each subdivision of the organizer according to the invention, obtained by means of partitions, forming separate spaces allowing the storage for example of notebooks in the case of the invention. By “partition” is meant an element allowing the separation and constitution of said compartments. A "hook and loop fastener" is commonly understood to mean a "scratch" or "velcro" fastener, consisting of two components: typically, two textile strips are attached to the opposing surfaces to be fastened. The first component has tiny hooks, the second smaller loops. When the two are pressed together, the hooks engage in the loops and the two parts temporarily attach or bond. A person skilled in the art can determine that one of the two parts (hooks or loops) will need to be installed on the bag, and the other on the organizer according to the invention. By "pockets" we mean compartments smaller than the compartments constituting the organizer, allowing to contain for example a ruler, keys, a calculator, etc. Figures [Fig.1] is a photograph of the organizer according to the invention, seen from above, said organizer being in “unfolded” form. [Fig.2] is a photograph of the organizer according to the invention, standing in side view, said organizer being in “unfolded” form. [Fig.3] is a photograph of the organizer according to the invention incorporated in a backpack, placed on the ground in front view, said organizer being in “unfolded” form. [Fig.4] is a photograph of the organizer according to the invention incorporated in a backpack, in front view. [Fig.5] is a photograph of the interior of a bag, in front view with the bag open, said bag comprising hook-and-loop fasteners allowing the attachment of said organizer according to the invention [Fig.6] is a photograph of the organizer according to the invention, seen from behind, said organizer being in “unfolded” form, and the hook-and-loop fasteners used for fixing being visible. [Fig.7] is a photograph of the markers that may be used in the invention. [Fig.8] is a photograph of the organizer according to the invention, in side view, said organizer being in “unfolded” form. Detailed description of the invention In connection with the figures, the organizer (1) is composed of compartments (2). These compartments can hold any object that fits the size of the compartments, especially notebooks. This organizer does not include a "bottom" or "lid", these elements being provided by the bag (6) in which it is incorporated. The organizer (1) can have an unfolded ([Fig.1]) or non-unfolded ([Fig.2] and 3) conformation, depending on the presence or absence of elements in the compartments. Said organizer (1) can also have a semi-unfolded version or only some compartments are unfolded, due to the presence of elements in some compartments (2), and not in others. This organizer (1) is thus positioned in a bag (6), for example a backpack as in [Fig.4], or a part of a hook-and-loop fastener (7) is glued to the bottom ([Fig.5]), which hooks with a hook-and-loop fastener (3) located on the organizer (1) according to the invention ([Fig.6]). The organizer (1) can be positioned horizontally or vertically in the bag, depending on the size and configuration of said bag. Indeed, in the case of a backpack for example, said organizer (1) will generally be positioned vertically, whereas in a tote bag, it can more often be positioned horizontally. The organizer (1) can also, thanks to hook-and-loop fasteners located on each compartment (2), include markers (5) allowing the user to identify each compartment (2) differently. Such markers (5) are illustrated in [Fig.7], and are visible in figures 1, 4 and 8. Thus, a user (adult or child) can, for example, position the organizer (1) according to the invention in a backpack (6), by fixing it using the hook-and-loop fasteners (3, 7). Said user will then be able, thanks to the compartments and any markers (5), to find his notebooks, binders, folders or books more easily, without having access to the notebooks of other subjects which will be in other compartments. Examples Example 1: Study of knowledge of colors related to notebooks according to school subjects for children A study was conducted on 22 children aged 6 to 17 years. Among the participants, different profiles were represented: ADD, dysgraphia, dysortography, dyscalculia, autism, high intellectual potential and others with no diagnosed disorder. This study was carried out during the school year and consisted of asking each of the children if they knew the color of each of their main notebooks for each subject. All the children were able to easily fill in the color of each notebook by subject, within a maximum of 3 seconds. This demonstrates the effectiveness of the organizer according to the invention, allowing these children to quickly identify in their schoolbag the notebook associated with each subject.
