The second end E2 of each of the pair of shoulder belts 3 is configured so that the attachment position to the storage unit 1 can be adjusted in the width direction of the storage unit 1.

[0019] In this embodiment, the second end E2 of each of the pair of shoulder straps 3 is connected to the lower part of the storage unit 1 so that the attachment position to the storage unit 1 can be adjusted both in the vertical direction and the width direction of the storage unit 1. The second end E2 of each of the pair of shoulder straps 3 is configured so that the attachment position to the storage unit 1 can be adjusted both in the vertical direction and the width direction of the storage unit 1.

[0020] The storage unit 1 includes a plurality of connection parts 40 connectable to the second end E2. The number of connection parts 40 may be two or more. The plurality of connection parts 40 are arranged apart from each other in the vertical direction and width direction of the storage unit 1. In this embodiment, the plurality of connection parts 40 are provided on the back part 1b and the bottom part 1d.

[0021] In this embodiment, the connection portion 40 includes a first connection portion 41, a second connection portion 42, and a third connection portion 43. The first connection portion 41 and the second connection portion 42 are provided on the connecting member 10 of the back portion 1b. In the up-down direction, the first connection portion 41 is disposed on the lower side, and the second connection portion 42 is disposed on the upper side. In other words, the first connection portion 41 is disposed below the second connection portion 42. The third connection portion 43 is provided on the bottom portion 1d. In the left-right direction, the third connection portion 43 is disposed inside the first connection portion 41 and the second connection portion 42.

[0022] The second end E2 of each of the pair of shoulder belts 3 is selectively connected to a plurality of connection parts 40. That is, the second end E2 of each of the pair of shoulder belts 3 is selectively connected to the first connection part 41, the second connection part 42, or the third connection part 43. In FIG. 2, the second end E2 of each of the pair of shoulder belts 3 is connected to the first connection part 41.

[0023] The pair of shoulder belts 3 includes a first shoulder belt 31 and a second shoulder belt 32. The first shoulder belt 31 and the second shoulder belt 32 are arranged side by side in the width direction (left and right direction) of the backpack 100.

[0024] The pair of rotation suppressing members 20 are attached to the upper part of the storage section 1. Each of the pair of rotation suppressing members 20 is configured to be capable of suppressing the rotation of each of the pair of shoulder straps 3 away from each other. The pair of rotation suppressing members 20 includes a first rotation suppressing member 21 and a second rotation suppressing member 22. The first rotation suppressing member 21 and the second rotation suppressing member 22 are arranged side by side in the width direction (left-right direction) of the backpack 100.

[0025] In this embodiment, the pair of shoulder belts 3 has a chest belt 33. In addition, each of the pair of shoulder belts 3 has a D-ring .

[0026] With reference to FIG. 4, a mechanism for adjusting the attachment position of shoulder belt 3 of backpack 100 in this embodiment will be described.

[0027] As shown in Fig. 4, the mounting position of the carrying belt 3 is adjusted by connecting the carrying belt 3 to the first mounting position or the second mounting position. When the carrying belt 3 is connected to the first mounting position, the second end E2 of the carrying belt 3 is connected to the second connection part 42. When the carrying belt 3 is connected to the second mounting position, the second end E2 of the carrying belt 3 is connected to the third connection part 43. The length of the carrying belt 3 is the same when the carrying belt 3 is connected to the first mounting position and when the carrying belt 3 is connected to the second mounting position.

[0028] When the backpack belt 3 is connected to the second attachment position, the upper end of the lid portion 2 and the lower end of the storage portion 1 of the backpack bag 100 are located at a higher height than when the backpack belt 3 is connected to the first attachment position. In other words, when the backpack belt 3 is connected to the second attachment position, the storage portion 1 is raised upward compared to when the backpack belt 3 is connected to the first attachment position.

[0029] 4 and 5, the vertical distance Y2 from the shoulder of a person carrying backpack 100 to the center of storage section 1 depending on the attachment positions of first end E1 and second end E2 of backpack belt 3 will be described.

[0030] The length a1 of the shoulder strap 3, the vertical length a2 between the first end E1 and the second end E2, the vertical length b1 from the first end E1 to the top of the lid 2, the vertical length b2 from the second end E2 to the bottom of the storage section 1, the vertical length b3 from the top of the lid 2 to the bottom of the storage section 1, the length Y1 from the shoulder to the first end E1, and the vertical distance Y2 from the shoulder to the center of the storage section 1 are related by the following equation (1).

[0031] Y2=(a1-b1+b2) / 2 (1) As shown in the above formula (1), when the length a1 of the shoulder strap 3 is increased, the vertical distance Y2 from the shoulder to the center of the backpack 100 is increased, and the storage unit 1 moves downward. On the other hand, when the length a1 of the shoulder strap 3 remains unchanged and the attachment position of the first end E1 of the shoulder strap 3 is lowered, the vertical length b1 from the first end E1 to the top end of the lid 2 is increased and the vertical distance Y2 from the shoulder to the center of the storage unit 1 is shortened, and the storage unit 1 moves upward. On the other hand, when the length a1 of the shoulder strap 3 is unchanged and the attachment position of the second end E2 of the shoulder strap 3 is lowered, the vertical length b2 from the second end E2 to the bottom end of the storage unit 1 is shortened and the vertical distance Y2 from the shoulder to the center of the storage unit 1 is shortened, and the storage unit 1 moves upward.

[0032] 4 and 6, the distance Z1 from the back to the chest of a person carrying backpack 100 depending on the attachment positions of first end E1 and second end E2 of backpack belt 3 will be described.

[0033] The length a1 of the shoulder strap 3, the vertical length a2 between the first end E1 and the second end E2, the vertical length b1 from the first end E1 to the top of the lid 2, the vertical length b2 from the second end E2 to the bottom of the storage section 1, the vertical length b3 from the top of the lid 2 to the bottom of the storage section 1, and the distance from the back to the chest (chest thickness) Z1 are related by the following equation (2).

[0034] Z1=(a1 2 -a2 2 ) / 2a1 (2) The mounting position of the backpack belt 3 is adjusted to accommodate the growth in height of the person carrying the backpack 100.

[0035] As shown in the above formula (2), when the attachment position of the first end E1 of the carrying belt 3 is raised without changing the length a1 of the carrying belt 3, the vertical length a2 between the first end E1 and the second end E2 becomes longer, and the distance Z1 from the back to the chest becomes shorter. Also, when the attachment position of the second end E2 of the carrying belt 3 is raised without changing the length a1 of the carrying belt 3, the vertical length a2 between the first end E1 and the second end E2 becomes shorter, and the distance Z1 from the back to the chest becomes longer.

[0036] For this reason, in the method of adjusting the vertical length b1 from the first end E1 to the top end of the lid 2, adjustments for height and chest thickness in physical growth are opposite movements. Therefore, in terms of movement of the storage unit 1 by adjusting the mounting position of the shoulder strap 3, the method of adjusting the vertical length b1 from the first end E1 to the top end of the lid 2 reduces the amount of movement of the storage unit 1. Therefore, since height and chest thickness increase in the course of physical growth, the method of adjusting the vertical length b1 from the first end E1 to the top end of the lid 2 does not provide sufficient movement of the storage unit 1.

[0037] In contrast, in the method of adjusting the vertical length b2 from the second end E2 to the bottom end of the storage unit 1, adjustments to height and chest thickness in physical growth result in the same movement. Therefore, in terms of movement of the storage unit 1 due to adjustment of the mounting position of the shoulder strap 3, the method of adjusting the vertical length b2 from the second end E2 to the bottom end of the storage unit 1 results in a large amount of movement of the storage unit 1. Therefore, when the height and chest thickness increase in physical growth, the method of adjusting the vertical length b2 from the second end E2 to the bottom end of the storage unit 1 allows the storage unit 1 to move sufficiently.

[0038] 7 and 8, a modified version of backpack 100 in the present embodiment will be described. In the modified version of backpack 100 in the present embodiment, the attachment position of backpack belt 3 in the width direction of storage section 1 can be changed.

[0039] When the body is small, the width of the body is narrow, and the width of backpack 100 is large relative to the body width. If the mounting position of backpack belt 3 is far from the body, backpack 100 will sway sideways, resulting in a lack of stability. As the body grows, the width of the body also increases, and so the mounting position of backpack belt 3 needs to be adjusted.

[0040] As shown in FIG. 7, the attachment position of the second end E2 of the shoulder belt 3 in the width direction of the storage section 1 is attachment position A when the body is small, and then to an outer attachment position B as the body grows, and to an even outer attachment position C.

[0041] As shown in Fig. 8, the attachment position of first end E1 of shoulder belt 3 in the width direction of storage section 1 may be adjustable. The attachment position of first end E1 of shoulder belt 3 in the width direction of storage section 1 may be attachment position D when the body is small, and may be shifted to outer attachment position E as the body grows. Note that the attachment position of first end E1 of shoulder belt 3 may be adjustable to attachment position D or attachment position E by configuring the position of connecting member R (see Fig. 3) to be movable.

[0042] Next, the effects of backpack 100 in this embodiment will be described.

[0043] According to backpack 100 of this embodiment, second end E2 of each of a pair of shoulder straps 3 is connected to the lower part of storage unit 1 so that the attachment position to storage unit 1 can be adjusted in the up-down direction of storage unit 1. Therefore, storage unit 1 can be moved in the up-down direction by adjusting the attachment position of second end E2 of shoulder straps 3 to storage unit 1. Furthermore, since the attachment position of second end E2 of shoulder straps 3 to storage unit 1 is adjusted, adjustments for height and adjustments for chest thickness in physical growth are the same movement, so storage unit 1 can be moved sufficiently.

[0044] According to the backpack 100 of this embodiment, the second end E2 of each of the pair of shoulder straps 3 is connected to the lower part of the storage unit 1 so that the attachment position to the storage unit 1 can be adjusted in the width direction perpendicular to the up-down direction of the storage unit 1. Therefore, the storage unit 1 can be moved in the width direction by adjusting the attachment position of the second end E2 of the shoulder strap 3 to the storage unit 1. Therefore, the storage unit 1 can be moved sufficiently in the up-down direction and the width direction by adjusting the attachment position of the second end E2 of the shoulder strap 3 to the storage unit 1. In addition, the lateral swing of the backpack 100 can be suppressed by adjusting the attachment position of the backpack strap 3 according to the body width. Therefore, the stability of the backpack 100 can be improved.

[0045] In the backpack 100 of this embodiment, the multiple connection parts 40 are disposed apart from one another in the up-down and width directions of the storage section 1. Therefore, by connecting the second end E2 of the backpack belt 3 to the multiple connection parts 40, the attachment position of the second end E2 of the backpack belt 3 to the storage section 1 can be adjusted in the up-down and width directions.

[0046] According to backpack 100 of the present embodiment, multiple connection parts 40 are provided on back portion 1b and bottom portion 1d. Therefore, by connecting second end E2 of backpack strap 3 to multiple connection parts 40 provided on back portion 1b and bottom portion 1d, the attachment position of second end E2 of backpack strap 3 to storage portion 1 can be adjusted in the vertical and width directions.

[0047] The embodiments disclosed herein should be considered to be illustrative and not restrictive in all respects. The scope of the present invention is defined by the claims, not the above description, and is intended to include all modifications within the meaning and scope of the claims.
