Description

Title of the invention: MANUALLY CARRYABLE BAG EQUIPPED WITH A LIGHTING DEVICE TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of manually portable bags, such as handbags, and particularly to bags equipped with a lighting device comprising at least one projection screen. TECHNOLOGICAL BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] Traditionally, a bag is a manually carried container comprising an outer shell, such as a handbag, backpack, briefcase, etc. Generally, the outer shell of the bag is made of one or more materials such as fabric, polymer, leather, etc., and it has a permanent external aesthetic appearance. Therefore, if a user wishes to wear a bag with a different aesthetic than the one they are currently using, they must change bags. Indeed, the needs and expectations of bag users change with the constant evolution of the fashion industry.

[0003] Furthermore, there are bags equipped with a lighting device arranged on a portion of the outer surface of the bag to project a light onto that portion. According to an example of this type of bag, the lighting device comprises: - a bag including a frame sewn or glued to the fabric of the rest of the bag, - at least one projection screen held on the frame forming a surface ex the exterior of the envelope by a conventional means of fixing the screen to the frame, the frame being able to be transparent by covering the projection screen.

[0004] However, such a bag does not allow the aesthetic appearance of the envelope to be changed in its entirety, but only in part.

[0005] There is therefore a need for complete personalization of the aesthetic appearance of the bag by the user. Summary of the invention

[0006] The invention offers a solution to the problems mentioned above, by proposing a manually portable bag comprising an envelope and a light device configured to personalize the envelope.

[0007] A first aspect of the invention relates to a manually portable bag, comprising: - an envelope containing: • a first transparent wall and a second transparent wall, arranged opposite each other, and • a bonding zone connecting the first transparent wall to the second transparent wall, - a lighting device comprising at least one projection screen with light-emitting diodes or organic light-emitting diodes arranged inside the casing, and - an electronic control system arranged inside the casing and connected to the lighting device to control it.

[0008] The first and second transparent walls of the envelope are totally covered by the light device, and the bag includes a projection screen means for attaching the light device to an inner face of the first and second transparent walls of the envelope.

[0009] The bag according to the first aspect of the invention, thanks to the combination of the transparent walls of the envelope and at least one projection screen of the lighting device, allows for the complete customization of the transparent walls. Indeed, the visual appearance of the bag's envelope is determined by the display on the projection screen; it is therefore possible to modify the color and / or pattern of the envelope's walls by means of the lighting device controlled by the electronic control system. Furthermore, the bag according to the invention is a versatile product that can be used for various occasions due to its ability to change its visual appearance, i.e., its color and / or pattern. Using means for attaching the screen to the transparent walls allows it to be held in place without the need for a frame, which would prevent the screen from completely covering the transparent walls of the envelope.

[0010] According to one embodiment, the first and second walls each comprise an external face forming a complete external face of the envelope. By external face is meant a face visible to the naked eye from the outside of the bag such that, by positioning the bag in a certain way relative to the naked eye, only the external face of the envelope is visible. In other words, an external lateral face of the envelope is a face of the envelope visible on one side of the bag.

[0011] According to a first embodiment of the clamping means, each clamping means comprises a first slide and a second slide in which are arranged, respectively, a first edge at the bottom and a second edge, opposite to each other, of the projection screen of the light device. This feature makes it possible to keep the screen clamped against the transparent walls on either side of it while obtaining a clamping means that is not visible from outside the bag.

[0012] According to a second embodiment of the plating means, the projection screen comprises a contact surface in contact with the inner surface of the casing and an inner surface opposite the contact surface, and each means of The fastening system includes a strap positioned against the inner surface of the projection screen. This feature allows the screen to be held firmly against the transparent walls, approximately at its center, while providing a fastening method that is not visible from outside the bag. Furthermore, this fastening system is geometrically simple as it is made from a single piece of material.

[0013] According to a third embodiment of the mounting means, each projection screen of the lighting device is mounted tightly against the inner face of the casing. This feature makes it possible to keep the screen pressed against the transparent walls substantially at its center without the need for additional parts.

[0014] According to a first embodiment of the projection screen, each projection screen of the lighting device is rigid.

[0015] According to a second embodiment of the projection screen, each projection screen of the lighting device is flexible. This feature allows the lighting device to adapt to the geometric shape of the bag's casing.

[0016] Advantageously, the bonding area of ​​the envelope includes a transparent side strip entirely covered by the lighting device. This feature increases the customizable surface area of ​​the envelope, as both transparent walls and the transparent side strip are fully customizable.

[0017] According to one example of the lighting device, the lighting device comprises a single projection screen. This feature simplifies the architecture of the lighting device.

[0018] According to another example of the lighting device, the lighting device comprises several projection screens connected to each other by a network communication. This feature makes it possible to obtain a projection screen per transparent wall and / or per side strip.

[0019] Advantageously, the electronic control system comprises: - a microcontroller, - a power supply battery for the projection screen and the microcontroller, and - means of recharging the power supply battery.

[0020] A second aspect of the invention relates to an assembly comprising: - a bag according to the first aspect of the invention, and - a device configured to implement a mobile application, the The device is connected to the bag's electronic control system via a wireless connection module, and the mobile application is configured to select an image and send a command to display the image, via the wireless connection module and the microcontroller, to the screen of projection of the light device of the electronic control system of the bag.

[0021] The assembly according to the first aspect of the invention offers a wide variety of personalization of the aesthetic appearance of the bag's cover through the use of the mobile application linked to the electronic control system of the bag, allowing the user to select the color and / or pattern to be projected onto the projection screen.

[0022] The invention and its various applications will be better understood by reading the following description and examining the accompanying figures. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES
