[0044] Detailed description of the figures and preferred embodiments

[0045] Examples and embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying figures. Identical or similar elements in the figures may be designated by the same reference numerals, although sometimes different reference numerals may be used.

[0046] It should be emphasized, however, that the present invention is in no way limited or restricted to the exemplary embodiments and their embodiment features described below, but further comprises modifications of the exemplary embodiments, in particular those which are encompassed by modifications of the features of the described examples or by combination of one or more of the features of the described examples within the scope of protection of the independent claims.

[0047] Fig. 1 shows an exemplary schematic representation of a shoulder bag 100 with a drinking system 300 according to an embodiment. The shoulder bag 100 comprises, for example, a main pocket 101 and, for example, a smaller secondary pocket 102. The main pocket 101 is, for example, provided with an opening that can be closed, for example, with a zipper 105. The secondary pocket 102 is, for example, smaller than the main pocket 101 and, for example, is attached to the front of the main pocket 101. The secondary pocket 102 is, for example, provided with an opening that can be closed, for example, with a zipper 104. On one side of the main pocket 101, an exemplary loop 103a is arranged laterally, for example, and on the other side of the main pocket 101, another exemplary loop 103b is arranged laterally, for example.

[0048] Fig. 1 further shows, by way of example, a belt system 200 with a carrying strap 201. At one end of the carrying strap 201, a fastening element 202a is arranged, for example, which is releasably held on the loop 103a by means of a hook portion. At the other end of the carrying strap 201, a fastening element 202b is arranged, for example, which is releasably held on the loop 103b by means of a hook portion. Consequently, the shoulder bag 101 can be worn, for example, hanging over the shoulder using the carrying strap 201 (see, for example, also Figs. 13 to 16).

[0049] By way of example, the drinking system 300 (see, for example, also Fig. 5) comprises a drinking tube 302, at the end of which a mouthpiece 303 is arranged and, in particular, fastened. In some embodiments, the mouthpiece 303 can be designed to be closable, e.g., by means of a cap, a twist lock, and / or a switchable locking mechanism.

[0050] In Fig. 1, the drinking tube 302 is guided behind the loop 103a and is guided within the carrying strap 201. For example, the drinking tube 302 is guided out of an opening 221 of the carrying strap 201 and can be guided to the user's mouth at this position.

[0051] Fig. 2A shows an exemplary schematic representation of the front of the shoulder bag 100 according to the exemplary embodiment. This corresponds to the view according to Fig. 1, wherein the fastening elements 202a and 202b are, for example, removed from the respective loops 103a and 103b, respectively, and the carrying strap 201 is, for example, removed.

[0052] Fig. 2B shows an exemplary schematic representation of the back of the shoulder bag 100 according to the exemplary embodiment. By way of example, the back of the main pocket 101 has an opening 106a adjacent to the loop 103a. By way of example, the back of the main pocket 101 has an opening 106b adjacent to the loop 103b. These exemplary openings (or openings in some exemplary embodiments with only one opening) on ​​the back of the main pocket 101 are designed, for example, so that the drinking tube 302 can be guided through the opening 106a or 106b from the interior of the main pocket 101 to the outside (see, for example, Fig. 10). Fig. 3A shows an exemplary schematic representation of the front side 201a of a carrying strap 201 for the shoulder bag 100 according to the exemplary embodiment. As already shown by way of example in Fig.1, the carrying strap 201 has fastening elements 202a and 202b at both ends, in particular for fastening to the respective loops 103a and 103b of the shoulder bag 100.

[0053] On the front side 201a of the carrying strap 201, the front side 201a of the carrying strap 201 has, for example, a plurality of openings 211 to 213 and 221 to 223. The advantage of multiple openings is that the drinking tube 302, which can be guided, for example, within the carrying strap 201, can be guided to the outside at various opening positions, ie at various longitudinal positions on the front side 201a of the carrying strap 201, for example, depending on the carrying position of the shoulder bag 100 and / or the body size of the user, at the preferred opening closest to the user's mouth.

[0054] Here, the openings 211 to 213 are arranged adjacent to the fastening element 202a, extending in the longitudinal direction of the carrying strap 201, for example, in such a way that the distance between the respective openings 211 to 213 and the end of the carrying strap 201 increases on the side of the fastening element 202a. The openings 221 to 223 are arranged adjacent to the fastening element 202b, extending in the longitudinal direction of the carrying strap 201, for example, in such a way that the distance between the respective openings 221 to 223 and the other end of the carrying strap 201 increases on the side of the fastening element 202b.

[0055] Fig. 3B shows an exemplary schematic representation of the back side 201b of a carrying strap 201 for the shoulder bag 100 according to the exemplary embodiment. On the back side 201b of the carrying strap 201, the back side 201b of the carrying strap 201 has, for example, an opening 241 at the end of the fastening element 202a adjacent to the fastening element 202a, and the back side 201b of the carrying strap 201 has, for example, an opening 242 at the other end of the fastening element 202b adjacent to the fastening element 202b.

[0056] In this case, the drinking tube 202 can be guided, for example, at the opening 231 or 242 into the interior of the carrying strap 201 in order to be guided, for example, within the carrying strap 201, for example to one of the openings 211 to 213 or 221 to 223. In the exemplary embodiment according to Fig. 3A, the carrying strap 201 has no openings on the front side 201a, for example in the middle region, for example in the middle third viewed in the longitudinal direction.

[0057] Fig. 4 shows an exemplary schematic representation of the front side 201a of a carrying strap 201 for the shoulder bag 100 according to a belt system 200' of another exemplary embodiment. The back side 201b of the carrying strap 201 can be designed, for example, analogously to Fig. 3B.

[0058] In the exemplary embodiment according to Fig. 4, the carrying strap 201 has, for example, in the central region, for example in the middle third viewed in the longitudinal direction, further openings 231 to 233 on the front side 201a. The openings 231 to 233 are arranged next to one another, for example, in the longitudinal direction of the carrying strap 201, in particular, for example, in such a way that the distance between the respective openings 231 to 233 and the end of the carrying strap 201 on the side of the fastening element 202b becomes greater, i.e., all openings 211 to 233 have, for example, different distances from the respective fastening elements or ends of the carrying strap 201.

[0059] The advantage of multiple openings is that the drinking tube 302, which can be guided inside the carrying strap 201, for example, can be guided to the outside at different opening positions, i.e. at different longitudinal positions on the front 201a of the carrying strap 201, for example, depending on the carrying position of the shoulder bag 100 and / or the user's height, at the preferred opening closest to the user's mouth. The middle openings 231 to 233 can be particularly useful when the shoulder bag 101 is worn with the carrying strap 201 hanging around the shoulder at approximately hip height, since the openings 231 to 233 are then arranged at shoulder height, i.e. close to the user's mouth.

[0060] Fig. 5 shows an exemplary schematic representation of a drinking system 300 according to an embodiment. By way of example, the drinking system 300 comprises the drinking tube 302 and the mouthpiece 303 (optionally or preferably closable) arranged at one end of the drinking tube 302. At the other end of the drinking tube 302, a connecting piece 305 is arranged, by way of example, with which the drinking tube 302 is connected, by way of example, to a container 301. By way of example, the container 301 is designed as a flexible drinking bag. By way of example, the container 301 has a screw cap 304, through which the container 301 can be filled with a beverage, for example water, as needed. By way of example, the drinking tube 302 is configured so that a user can drink the beverage from the container 301 via the mouthpiece 303 through the drinking tube 302, e.g., by suction using the mouthpiece 303.The container 301 can, for example, be stored in the main pocket 101 of the shoulder bag 100. The container 301 can be freely removed, for example, for filling or to optionally use the shoulder bag without a hydration system. In further embodiments, the shoulder bag 100 can also be permanently integrated into and / or onto the bag.

[0061] Fig. 6 shows another exemplary schematic representation of the shoulder bag 100. Here, the container 301 of the drinking system 300 is stowed in the shoulder bag 100, for example, and the drinking tube 302 is led out of the shoulder bag 100 to the right, as seen from the front, and guided to the belt system 200, in order to be led out of the opening 222, for example. In Fig. 6, the belt system is detached, for example, and can be attached to the bag 100 on either side.

[0062] Fig. 7 shows a further exemplary schematic representation of the shoulder bag 100 and Fig. 8 shows a further exemplary schematic representation of the shoulder bag 100. Here, the container 301 of the drinking system 300 is stowed in the shoulder bag 100 by way of example and the drinking tube 302 is led out of the shoulder bag 100 to the left as seen from the front and led to the belt system 200, in particular by way of example to the other end compared to Fig. 6, in order to be led out of the opening 212 by way of example. In Fig. 8, the belt system is detached by way of example and can be attached to the bag 100 on both sides, wherein the state according to Fig. 7 can then be provided.

[0063] A possible, exemplary routing of the drinking tube 302 of the drinking system 300 in the carrying strap 201 of the belt system 200 is described below with reference only to Figs. 9 to 11.

[0064] Fig. 9 shows a further exemplary schematic representation of a portion of the shoulder bag 100. In particular, Fig. 9 shows a side view of the shoulder bag 100, in which the main pocket 101 and the secondary pocket 202 arranged in front of it with the respective closable zipper openings 104 and 105.

[0065] The carrying strap 201 of the belt system 200 is attached, for example, to the end of the fastening element 202a on the loop 103a of the shoulder bag 100, for example, by releasably threading the hook portion of the fastening element 202a onto the loop 103a. This has the advantage that the belt system 200 is removable or replaceable.

[0066] In further embodiments, it is possible to provide a strap system 200 in which a carrying strap is permanently attached to the shoulder bag at one or both ends, indirectly (e.g., via a permanently attached fastening element) or directly (e.g., by gluing and / or sewing, i.e., glued and / or sewn). In such embodiments, the drinking tube can optionally be guided directly from the interior of the bag into the inner region of the carrying strap.

[0067] Fig. 10 shows a further exemplary schematic representation of a rear section of the shoulder bag 100 (rear of the fastening element 202a compared to Fig. 9). This shows, by way of example, that the drinking tube 302 can be led out of the interior of the main pocket 101 of the shoulder bag 100 through the rear opening 106a (see also Fig. 2B) and then, for example, through the rear opening 241 of the rear side 201b of the carrying strap 201 into the interior of the carrying strap 201, e.g., to be led to the front opening 213 of the front side 301a of the carrying strap 201; see the drinking tube 302 with the mouthpiece 303 protruding from the opening 213 in Fig. 9.

[0068] Fig. 11 shows an exemplary schematic sectional view of a carrying strap 201 of the strap system 200 for the shoulder bag 100 according to an exemplary embodiment. This shows, by way of example, that the drinking tube 302 is guided in the inner region of the carrying strap 201 between the front side 201a and the back side 201b of the carrying strap 201.

[0069] In some embodiments, the carrying strap 201 can, for example, be multi-layered, i.e., with at least two layers, wherein the drinking tube 302 is preferably guided between two layers of the carrying strap 201. For example, in some embodiments, it is possible to design the carrying strap in a tubular and / or hose-like manner, and / or to provide a guide tube and / or a guide channel for the drinking tube inside the carrying strap.

[0070] In summary, according to the above embodiments, the drinking tube 302 can be led out of the main pocket 101 through one of the rear and / or side openings 106a or 106b of the shoulder bag 100, depending on the user's wishes or needs (see, for example, Fig. 2B), in order to be led into one of the rear openings 241 or 242 of the carrying strap 201 (see, for example, Fig. 3B) into the interior of the carrying strap 201 (see, for example, Figs. 10 and 11), for example to be led to the respective preferred front opening of the openings 211 to 223 (see, for example, Fig. 3A) or 211 to 233 (see, for example, Fig. 4).

[0071] Furthermore, further embodiments can also be obtained through modification. For example, Fig. 12 shows a further exemplary schematic sectional view of a shoulder bag 100 with a drinking system 300 according to a further embodiment. For example, Fig. 12 shows the shoulder bag 100 with a container 301 of the drinking system 300 in the interior of the main pocket 101, with the drinking tube 302 extending through the opening 106b.

[0072] For example, the carrying strap 201 is formed with a front side 201a and a back side 201b, which are laterally attached to each other lengthwise in the region of the strap, e.g., by gluing and / or sewing. At the ends of the strap, however, the front side 201a and the back side 201b of the strap 201 are guided separately, for example.

[0073] The front side 201a of the carrying strap 201 is, for example, formed into a loop in the area at the end of the carrying strap 201, which is fastened to the fastening element 202b. The back side 201b of the carrying strap 201 is, for example, detachably fastened to the back of the shoulder bag 100 in the area at the end of the carrying strap 201 by means of a hook-and-loop fastener 400, and can thus, for example, cover the back of the drinking tube 302 inserted between the front and back of the carrying strap 201. In further exemplary embodiments (e.g., in Fig. 10), a strip that can be detachably fastened on one or both sides (e.g., by means of a hook-and-loop fastener) can be used to cover the drinking tube 302 or the opening 106a or 106b.

[0074] Fig. 13 shows an exemplary schematic representation of a carrying position of the shoulder bag 100 according to an embodiment, in which the shoulder bag 100 can be worn, for example, hanging on the chest with the single-shoulder carrying strap of the carrying strap system 200 on the right shoulder of the user.

[0075] Fig. 14 shows an exemplary schematic representation of a further carrying position of the shoulder bag 100 according to an embodiment, in which the shoulder bag 100 can be worn, for example, hanging on the chest with the one-shoulder carrying strap of the carrying strap system 200 on the left shoulder of the user.

[0076] Fig. 15 shows an exemplary schematic representation of a further carrying position of the shoulder bag 100 according to an embodiment, in which the shoulder bag 100 can be worn, for example, hanging on the back with the one-shoulder carrying strap of the carrying strap system 200 on the left shoulder of the user.

[0077] Fig. 16 shows an exemplary schematic representation of a further carrying position of the shoulder bag 100 according to an embodiment, in which the shoulder bag 100 can be worn, for example, hanging on the back with the one-shoulder carrying strap of the carrying strap system 200 on the right shoulder of the user.

[0078] Consequently, a very flexible and versatile drinking system for a bag or shoulder bag can be provided, in which the drinking tube 302 can be flexibly guided in the carrying strap such that the mouthpiece 303 of the drinking system 300 can be guided out of the carrying strap 201 at the best possible position, at that position of the carrying strap 201 which, depending on the carrying position, is particularly close to the user's mouth and can be easily guided to the mouth in order to drink.

[0079] In further embodiments, bags can be provided with several carrying straps, such as backpacks or the like, wherein, regardless of the number of carrying straps, at least one carrying strap is preferably provided which enables the drinking tube to be guided in the inner region of the carrying strap, preferably with one or more front openings for leading out the drinking tube and for guiding the drinking tube to the user's mouth (e.g. at a shoulder and / or chest position of the carrying strap when carrying the drinking system or a bag with the drinking system).

[0080] In some preferred embodiments, it is possible to thermally insulate the container or bag of the hydration system (e.g., using thermally insulating materials such as PEVA or others). In some embodiments, it is alternatively or additionally possible to thermally insulate a pocket compartment for accommodating the container of the hydration system (e.g., the main pocket 101 of the shoulder bag) using a thermal material.

[0081] In some preferred embodiments, it is possible to removably arrange the container of the drinking system in a pocket compartment (e.g., in the main pocket 101 of the shoulder bag). In further embodiments, it is possible to incorporate or integrate the container of the drinking system into a bag or backpack, e.g., by means of a container compartment or container compartment in the bag or backpack. For example, the container or drinking bag can be glued and / or sewn to the bag or between layers of the bag walls. Multiple containers or drinking bags (or drinking bladders) can also be provided. In addition, a hose solution can be provided for filling the container, so that the container can be filled, for example, through the drinking hose (e.g., using a funnel attachment for the mouthpiece) and / or through a separate (optionally detachably attachable) filling hose.

[0082] In some preferred embodiments, it is possible to attach the drinking tube permanently to the container. In further embodiments, it is possible to attach the drinking tube detachably to the container, e.g., by means of a plug-in connection and / or a twist-lock connection.

[0083] In some preferred embodiments, it is possible to thermally insulate the interior of the carrying strap through which the drinking tube can be guided, e.g. by one or more thermally insulating layers in the carrying strap.

[0084] In some preferred embodiments, instead of one or more stationary front outlet openings for the drinking tube on the carrying strap, it is possible to provide an opening on the front of the carrying strap that is movable in the longitudinal direction of the carrying strap (e.g. by means of two or two-sided zipper elements on a zipper running in the longitudinal direction).

[0085] In some preferred embodiments, it is possible to arrange inlet openings for the drinking tube at both ends of the carrying strap (see, for example, the above exemplary embodiments). In some further exemplary embodiments, it can be provided to provide an inlet opening at only one end of the carrying strap, for example if a loop or other type of mechanism is provided at the other end in order to adapt or adjust the length of the carrying strap, for example in accordance with the user's height. In such exemplary embodiments, it is particularly preferred that detachable fastening elements are provided at both ends of the carrying strap, for example in order to be able to adapt the carrying direction (i.e. end with inlet opening on one side or the other side), so that all carrying directions according to Figs. 13 to 16 can be implemented in such exemplary embodiments.

[0086] In some preferred embodiments, it is also possible to integrate a drinking tube into the carrying strap, which has pluggable and / or rotatable connections at all inlet and / or outlet openings, to which, for example, further tube pieces can be preferably detachably connected, for example by connecting a drinking tube piece with a mouthpiece to outlet openings on the front of the carrying strap at various positions.

[0087] In some preferred embodiments, it is possible to attach the carrying strap firmly to the bag or backpack or to attach it firmly or detachably by means of other fastening elements, e.g. by means of buckles, zippers, hooks, loops, Velcro, etc.

[0088] In some preferred embodiments, it is possible to attach a tubular cover (e.g. made of textile or preferably a stretch textile) to the carrying strap, which is displaceable in the longitudinal direction of the carrying strap, for example in order to cover and visually hide the drinking tube or an optional mouthpiece of the drinking tube protruding from an outlet opening until the user wants to drink and can expose the drinking tube or the mouthpiece by moving the cover.

[0089] It should be noted again that only examples or exemplary embodiments of the present invention and their advantages have been described above in detail with reference to the accompanying figures. It should be emphasized again that the present invention is in no way limited or restricted to the exemplary embodiments described above and their design features or the described combinations thereof, but further encompasses modifications of the exemplary embodiments, in particular those encompassed by modifications of the features of the described examples or by combinations or partial combinations of individual or several of the features of the described examples within the scope of protection of the independent claims.
