DESCRIPTION

BAG

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The object of the present invention is framed in the technical field of travel or transport accessories. More specifically, a backpack is proposed that has a rear compartment with an upper opening, which cannot be seen from the outside, and which is intended to receive a laptop or tablet or any item of similar geometry to them, thus separating it from the rest of the content. inside the backpack. In this way, order is guaranteed inside the backpack and the integrity of the laptop is guaranteed, without modifying the aesthetics of the backpack.

TECHNICAL PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED AND BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The use of backpacks, bags, etc. is widely known. to transport all kinds of items in a comfortable and one-person way, such as stationery, technology (mobile phones, tablets or laptops), clothes, etc.

Throughout this report, the term laptop is used to refer also to any technological item that can be considered similar to it, such as a tablet.

The technical problem associated with the transport of technology elements, such as laptops, is that most bags, backpacks or other transport accessories do not include specific spaces for their accommodation. This affects the internal order of the bag, backpack or transport accessory, and the integrity of the computers (or tablets) by not having adequate space for organization.

In addition, with respect to the disorder that generally occurs inside backpacks, this also makes it difficult to introduce the computer. That is, when the user wants to place the computer in a backpack already full of things, he has to move all the content with one hand and try to hold it while inserting the computer into the backpack. Generally the user should try to place the computer as close as possible to the rear of the backpack, the so-called back protector, to ensure a substantially vertical position. In this way, the chances of breakage are minimized and maximizes comfort by placing the backpack on your shoulders. Thus, the computer is parallel to the back.

In recent years, the use of laptops has clearly increased and, since the coronavirus pandemic that emerged in 2020, this increase has been further favored by prioritizing teleworking over desktop computer work options in office.

Thus, laptop users increasingly demand new solutions that guarantee a safe and comfortable transport of laptops, without sacrificing aesthetics. Students also need an efficient means of transporting their computers (from home to the university, to the library, the company where they are doing the internship, etc.).

As a result of this need, a type of backpack is currently known that comprises, in addition to the main compartment (like any standard backpack), an additional independent compartment arranged in correspondence with the back protector. It is a complementary volume, additional to the interior volume of the backpack, and that is clearly seen from the outside, which especially conditions the final design of the backpack.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The invention refers to a backpack comprising a rear compartment, which cannot be seen from the outside, intended to receive a laptop. The key to the invention is precisely that the rear compartment extends inside the main compartment of the backpack, without it being possible from the outside to see whether or not said compartment exists and without modifying the total volume or depth of the backpack.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the backpack has a minimalist design in which the upper section of the main compartment has a configuration that covers the backpack superiorly and comprises a main compartment opening at the front (which can be extended up to the sides). This opening is the one that gives access to the main compartment of the backpack. In the embodiments of the state of the art in which the opening of the backpack is arranged in the front part, it is difficult even more the correct placement of the laptop inside the backpack. However aesthetically it is one of the preferred options by users.

Thus, in the backpack of the invention, a volume has been enabled in the area of the back (rear compartment) that extends into the main volume (interior of the main compartment). In an embodiment in which the backpack comprises an upper section of the main compartment with a diagonal main compartment opening, the joining of said upper section of the main compartment with the back protector is used to camouflage the rear compartment.

The great advantage of the backpack described is that it provides the rear compartment while keeping the external appearance of the backpack unaltered, and therefore maintaining the simplicity of shapes.

Another advantage derived from the configuration of the proposed backpack is that the rear compartment is hidden, providing greater security when transporting laptops. These computing devices are expensive and are often stolen. As the compartment in which they are housed cannot be seen from the outside, they go unnoticed by thieves.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The present invention should not be limited to the embodiment described herein. Other configurations can be made by those skilled in the art in light of the present description. Accordingly, the scope of the invention is defined by the following claims.

Figure 1A shows a standard state-of-the-art backpack (1) of the type that comprises a main compartment (3) inside which a laptop (8) can be housed together with any other item that the user wants to carry it in the backpack (1). The main compartment (3) comprises an opening of the main compartment (32) configured to allow the introduction of the articles to be transported inside said main compartment (3). As can be seen, the back of the backpack (1) comprises a back (2) attached, by means of a first stitching (6), directly to the main compartment (3).

Figure 1B shows a state-of-the-art backpack (1) of the type that comprises, in addition to the main compartment (3), an additional compartment (4), arranged at the back of the backpack (1) , in correspondence with the trellis (2). A first additional stitching (9) is observed that joins the trellis (2) to said additional compartment (4). There is also a second additional stitching (91) that joins the additional compartment (4) to the main compartment (3). Furthermore, in the figure it can be seen how the volume and depth of the backpack (1) have increased compared to those of a backpack (1) of the type shown in figure 1A.

More specifically, an additional depth (41) has been indicated that corresponds to the depth of the additional compartment (4) and which, as can be seen, is added to the depth of the main compartment (31). As previously described, Users generally do not like this increase in depth (and therefore volume) as it breaks the aesthetics of simple lines of the backpack (1) and makes it much more cumbersome.

The backpack (1) of the present invention has been represented in Figure 2, in a side view, where it can be seen that from the outside it is not appreciated whether or not there is a separate compartment for the laptop (8). That is, at first glance it would appear to be a backpack (1) of the state of the art with a main compartment (3) like the one in Figure 1A. However, the backpack (1) of the invention comprises a rear compartment (5) intended to house a laptop. That is, the backpack (1) of the invention comprises at least one main compartment (3) with an interior space, a back protector (2) intended to be in contact with the user's back and a rear compartment (5) undetectable from the Exterior.

As can be seen in said figure 2, when the backpack (1) comprises an upper section of the main compartment (33) with a configuration such that the opening of the main compartment (32) is diagonal, the union of said upper section of the main compartment (33) with back protector (2) to camouflage the rear compartment (5).

The rear compartment (5) comprises an upper opening of the rear compartment (52), which does not correspond to the opening of the main compartment (32) and said rear compartment (5) extends through the interior space of the main compartment (3). Therefore, it does not affect the overall exterior design of the backpack (1). The upper opening of the rear compartment (52) has a closure element, preferably a zipper, and is arranged between the main compartment (3) and the back protector (2), which are joined together along part of the perimeter of the trellis (2).

In said figure 2 you can see the upper part of the backpack (1) and the area where the upper opening of the rear compartment (52) is located (which in this embodiment is camouflaged with a flap (10)) and the main compartment opening (32). The flap (10) extends over the upper opening of the rear compartment (52) from a second stitching (7), which is the stitching that joins the main compartment (3) and the rear compartment (5). You can also see the upper section of the compartment main compartment (33) with a specific configuration, the opening of the main compartment (32) being diagonal according to this embodiment.

In an exemplary embodiment, the depth of the rear compartment (51) is between 1 cm and 3 cm (enough to allow the introduction of essentially flat bodies).

Figures 3A-3B show a comparison of the interior of the main compartment (3) of a backpack (1) of the state of the art (Figure 3A) and the interior space of the main compartment (3) of the backpack (1) of the present invention (Figure 3B). This figure represents the interior of said main compartment (3) as seen when the backpack is turned over (exposing the sides of the backpack (1) that during normal use are oriented towards the interior).

As can be seen, the first stitching (6) shown in figure 3A and that joins the trellis (2) to the main compartment (3) corresponds to the first stitching (6) which, as it appears in the figure 3B, in the present invention, it joins the trellis (2) to the rear compartment (5). In the backpack (1) of the invention it is also appreciated, as seen in this figure 3B, a second stitching (7) that joins said rear compartment (5) to the main compartment (3). You can see the depth of the rear compartment (51) extending into the main compartment (3) without affecting the depth of the main compartment (31). The first stitching (6) has a slightly curved configuration to generate the space of said rear compartment (5) destined to house the laptop (8).

Thus, the connection between the main compartment (3) and the rear compartment (5) is made by means of the second stitching (7), extending along the perimeter of a wall of the rear compartment (5) where at least a part of said second stitching (7) is hidden in the interior space of the main body (3). This occurs, for example, in Figure 4, where the second stitching (7) that delimits the rear compartment (5) extends internally through the dashed line. In figure 5 you can see a laptop (8) that is being inserted into the rear compartment (5).

In the exemplary embodiment, the trellis itself (2) forms a wall of the rear compartment (5).
