Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a backpack, particularly a backpack suitable for hiking in snowy mountains or on steep trails. [Background technology]

[0002] A typical backpack consists of a bag body for storing luggage, a back panel, shoulder straps, and a hip belt. Conventionally, backpacks used for travel, mountain climbing, ski tours, etc. have a back panel, which is the surface that contacts the back, that is formed as a flat surface with a moderate degree of hardness to make them easier to carry. Two or three aluminum frames or a combination of an aluminum frame and a polyethylene plate have been used to form the flat back panel. To make the back panel fit more closely to the back, a backpack with a pre-formed plastic plate that conforms to the contours of the human back and is attached to the back panel from the inside has been disclosed (Patent Document 1). Another backpack has a cushion slidably attached to a bow-shaped frame, and the height of the backpack can be adjusted to fit the length of the back using an adjustment strap and cushion (Patent Document 2).

[0003] Patent document 3 also discloses a hip belt with a three-dimensional curved surface that reduces contact with the iliac crest and improves fit to the body. These relate to the back panel and belt alone. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0005] When hiking in the great outdoors, you will need to carry a lot of belongings, such as accommodations along the way, tools to avoid danger, etc. However, if you put a large amount of luggage in a backpack, the weight of the backpack will cause it to sag downward, preventing the wearer from being in close contact with the backpack, making it difficult to hike. A typical outdoor backpack has a shoulder strap that goes over the shoulder or a belt that is connected to the bag body and fastened in front of the chest or waist of the wearer, trying to keep the bag close to the wearer. However, in dangerous situations, such as climbing snowy mountains, it is necessary to increase the degree of freedom of the body, and it is necessary to increase the closeness of the bag to the wearer. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] As a result of extensive research, the inventors came up with the idea of ​​providing an outer cover on the backpack and connecting a tight-fitting belt connected to the outer cover in front of the wearer's body, so that the entire outer cover presses the main body of the backpack towards the wearer, thereby increasing the degree of fit between the wearer and the backpack, and arrived at this invention. That is, the present invention includes the following. [1] The main body, an outer covering portion that covers the main body; A pair of tight-fitting belts connected to the outer cover part, When worn, the pair of tight-fitting belts are connected around the wearer's chest or waist, and the length of the tight-fitting belts is adjusted, so that the outer cover presses the main body toward the wearer. [2] The backpack described in [1], further comprising a shoulder belt, one end of which is connected to the outer cover portion. [3] The backpack described in [1] further comprises a hanging belt connected to the outer cover, the hanging belt having a hook for connecting the main body and the outer cover, and the outer cover can be removed from the main body by attaching and detaching the hook. [4] The backpack described in [1], wherein the intimate contact belt is molded integrally with the outer cover. [5] The backpack described in [1], wherein a zipper is provided so that the main body can be opened and closed from the side that comes into contact with the wearer of the backpack. [Effects of the Invention]

[0009] The present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings of the embodiments. Note that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments, and appropriate design modifications and the like are possible within the scope known to those skilled in the art.

[0010] A backpack 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. The backpack 1 comprises a main body 3, an outer cover 2 that covers the main body 3, and a pair (two) of close-fitting belts 6 connected to the outer cover 2, and when worn, the two pairs of close-fitting belts 6 are connected around the wearer's chest or waist, causing the outer cover 2 to press the main body 3 towards the wearer 100.

[0011] A major feature of backpack 1 is that it has outer cover 2. Outer cover 2 is provided on the side of backpack 1 that is not facing wearer 100 so as to cover main body 3. The outer cover part 2 is connected to the main body 3 and an outer cover connecting part 9 at the top of the main body 3 by a hook 8 provided on a hanging belt 7 of the outer cover part 2 (see Figs. 5 and 6).

[0012] The outer covering part 2 is provided with a pair of close-fitting belts 6. As shown in Fig. 2, the close-fitting belts 6 are formed integrally with the outer covering part 2, one on each side. The close-fitting belt 6 can be connected to the front side (front of the body) of the wearer 100, from the chest to the waist of the wearer 100. By connecting the close-fitting belt 6 with a connecting member such as a buckle 12 and adjusting the length of the close-fitting belt 6, the outer cover part 2 covering the main body 3 presses the main body 3 toward the wearer 100 (presses in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 2) as shown in FIG. 2, and the main body 3 can be fitted tightly to the back of the wearer 100. With this configuration, the backpack 1 and the wearer 100 can be worn as if they were one unit, without being swung around by the luggage, even during strenuous exercise or mountain climbing. The degree of contact of the contact belt 6 can be adjusted by adjusting the length of the contact belt 6 with the buckle 12 or the like.

[0013] The backpack 1 is provided with a pair (two) shoulder straps 5 so that it can be carried on the back. The shoulder straps 5 are formed integrally with the outer cover 2. By forming them integrally with the outer cover 2, the degree of fit between the backpack 1 and the wearer 1 can be further increased. The shoulder straps 5 are connected with connecting members such as adjusters, so that the length can be adjusted.

[0014] Each shoulder belt 5 is provided with a chest belt 10, and by connecting the chest belts 10 together, the shoulder belts 5 do not slip off and the degree of contact with the wearer 100 can be further increased. The shoulder belt 5 is provided with a chest belt adjustment section 11 through which the chest belt 10 can be passed, allowing the position of the chest belt 10 to be adjusted appropriately according to the height and body size of the wearer.

[0015] 3 and 4 are views of backpack 1 as seen from the side that contacts wearer 100. Opening / closing section 31 of main body 3 can be opened and closed using zipper 41. When backpack 1 is worn, main body opening / closing section 31 contacts the wearer's back. Because backpack 1 has outer cover 2, it is preferable to open and close main body 3 from the side that contacts wearer 100. By providing zipper 41 on the side of main body 3 or the side that contacts the wearer, when removing backpack 1 from the body and opening main body 3, it can be opened and closed quickly without being obstructed by outer cover 2.

[0016] Figure 5 is a top view of the backpack 1. As described above, the outer cover 2 is connected to the main body 3. The outer cover 2 is equipped with a hanging strap 7, which is provided with a hook 8. The outer cover 2 and the main body 3 can be connected by connecting the hook 8 to an outer cover connecting part 9 provided on the side of the main body 3 that comes into contact with the wearer. Multiple outer cover connecting parts 9 are provided, allowing the strength of the pressure applied by the outer cover 2 to be adjusted. 6, the upper zipper 42 can be opened and closed by removing the hook 8 from the outer cover connecting part 9. Because the upper zipper 42 is covered by the outer cover part 2, rain and the like are less likely to penetrate into the inside of the main body 3. The shoulder belt 5 is provided with a chest belt adjustment section 11 through which the chest belt 10 can be passed, allowing the position of the chest belt 10 to be adjusted appropriately according to the height and body size of the wearer.
