Accessory for customizing backpacks, bags, jackets and other garments

Abstract

The present invention relates to an accessory for customising garments, formed by a matrix of slots that comprises a sheet having a visible face of hook-and-loop fasteners. One of the faces of the sheet comprises a pair of straps attached at one end, while the free ends finish with joining means that complement other fastening means provided on the rear face of the sheet, the straps having a width less than or equal to that of the slots. The straps can be selectively passed through the slots to attach and stabilise the accessory using the joining means and the fastening means, the visible face of the sheet defining a surface of hook-and-loop fasteners for attaching an adhesive patch of hook-and-loop fasteners. Advantageously, the design defined by the device allows even greater customisation, as it can be integrated into new accessories or garments.

Description

[0001] DESCRIPTION

[0002] Accessory for personalizing backpacks, bags, vests and other garments.

[0003] TECHNICAL SECTOR

[0004] The present invention relates to an accessory that has been specially designed to allow the customization of backpacks, bags, vests, as well as other types of garments.

[0005] The object of the invention is to provide a device that can be easily implanted and de-implanted from the element in question, and that defines a surface for the fixation and removal of one or more adhesive patches, specifically fixable by Velero ®.

[0006] BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0007] In the textile sector, there are known systems that allow for increased carrying capacity and customization of certain garments or accessories, such as vests, backpacks, or other items. Specifically, these systems include slots in the garment itself that can be used selectively to accommodate fastening straps for other accessories, such as electronic device cases, small first-aid kits, tools, carabiners with ropes, and all kinds of accessories.

[0008] However, this system alone does not allow for the customization of these garments or accessories with Velero® type adhesive patches, which are increasingly common on the market, and which significantly reduce manufacturing costs by allowing a "standard" garment or accessory to be manufactured, which can then be customized.

[0009] Thus, to date it is necessary to sew or fix a sheet of Velcro to the garment or accessory in question using adhesive, in order to be able to implant and remove the personalized adhesive patches, an operation that is extremely complex for most users if it involves sewing said sheet, or ineffective when adhesives are used, which tend to come off over time and / or with washing. EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

[0010] The accessory for personalizing backpacks, bags, vests, and other garments proposed by the invention fully satisfactorily resolves the problem described above based on a simple but extremely effective solution.

[0011] To this end, and more specifically, the accessory of the invention is made from a Velero® sheet, preferably rectangular or quadrangular in configuration, specifically a sheet of loops or as conventionally known, the female sheet of the Velero® type fixing accessory, which has on its rear face at least one pair of strips that are secured by one of their ends to one of the edges of said female sheet, such as the upper edge, while its free end is finished in fastening means complementary to other fastening means provided on the rear face of the female sheet in correspondence with the opposite end from which said strips emerge.

[0012] This allows the accessory of the invention to be placed on the personalization system of the backpack, bag or garment in question, so that its strips are passed through the slots chosen from the matrix of slots to finally fasten the end of the same on the fastening means provided on the rear face of the female sheet of Velero ®, defining a stable surface for the implantation and removal of all types of patches, such as those of emergency equipment, police, firefighters, sports teams, flags, musical groups, etc.

[0013] BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0014] To complement the description that follows and in order to help better understand the characteristics of the invention, in accordance with a preferred example of practical embodiment thereof, a set of drawings is attached as an integral part of said description, in which the following is represented for illustrative and non-limiting purposes: Figure 1 shows a front elevation view of an accessory for customizing backpacks, bags, vests and other garments made in accordance with the object of the present invention.

[0015] Figure 2.- Shows a rear elevation view of the device in figure 1.

[0016] Figure 3.- Shows a perspective view of a bag in which the device of the invention can be implanted, which appears in its initial assembly condition.

[0017] Figure 4.- Finally, it shows a view similar to that of figure 3, but in which the device appears properly mounted in the bag.

[0018] PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

[0019] In view of the figures outlined, and especially Figure 3, it can be seen how the accessory of the invention is intended to be implanted in devices (1) or garments that include a system of personalization and / or expansion of its load capacity in which a sheet of textile nature (2) participates, affected by a matrix of slots (3) for the passage of tapes or fixing elements of all types of accessories.

[0020] Well, according to figures 1 and 2, the accessory of the invention is made from a sheet (4) of Velero® loops, preferably rectangular or quadrangular in configuration, and which can be of dimensions according to the dimensions of the slot matrix (3) or a submultiple thereof in order to adapt completely to it or simply to a specific area of ​​said matrix.

[0021] As can be seen in figure 2, at least one pair of strips (5) emerge from the rear face of the sheet (4) which, at one of their ends (6), are fixed to the upper edge of said sheet (4), while at their free ends they end in joining means (7) complementary to other fastening means (7') provided on the rear face of the female sheet (4) in correspondence with the lower edge.

[0022] These strips (5) will have a slightly smaller width than the slots (3) of the personalization system of the garment or accessory in question.

[0023] Optionally, the sheet (4) may be affected by a matrix of slots (3') matching the slots (3) of the personalization system of the garment or accessory in question.

[0024] According to figures 3 and 4, this structuring allows the accessory of the invention to be placed on the personalization system of the backpack, bag or garment in question, so that its strips (5) are passed through the slots (3) chosen from the matrix of slots of the personalization accessory (1), as well as optionally and additionally on the slots (3') of the sheet (4) itself as a warp, which allows a solid fixing and stabilization of the device on the accessory or garment in question, finally stabilizing it by coupling the joining means (7) and fastening (7').

[0025] Once the device has been implanted, and according to figure 4, all types of Velero ® type adhesive patches (8) can be fixed and removed on the sheet (4), which conventionally come provided on their back face with a “male” sheet or hooks, of the Velero ® type fixing system.

[0026] This structuring allows for further increases in the customization capacity of these types of systems, which, in addition to being implemented in already common accessories or garments, could be integrated into new accessories or garments to offer this particular type of customization.
