Description

The invention relates to a carrying strap for carrying objects on the body of a person, with a band portion which is at least partially double-walled to form a pocket and in the region of the double-walled portion has at least one first engagement opening, which is closable via closure means.

Carrying straps are out of the DE 20 2004 011 262 U1 known. This lanyard is stretched around a body part, eg a leg, and has pockets for carrying objects on the outside.

From the US 4,634,031 Carrier tapes are known, which are supported across the upper body and under the armpit, which are also arranged here on or behind the wide band body pockets.

From the US 4 601418 Finally, carrying straps are known with pockets that are designed as wrist straps, so can be stretched around the wrist and have a bag for transporting objects.

Although all the aforementioned carrying straps have a bag, but this must be worn on the body and is placed on the straps or integrated into the band, so that the size and support direction is limited.

Furthermore, so-called lanyards are widely used and well known. These lanyards are a band that is worn around the neck of a human and at the end of which usually a key fob, a snap hook for attaching other elements or another fastening means is arranged. The lanyard usually has a length between 80 and 100 cm, usually 90 cm and a panic lock, so that the carrier can not be strangled by pulling on the lanyard.

Finally, carrying straps are known, which have a length of about 20 to 25 cm and can be attached via a snap hook or other fastening means, for example, to the belt loop of a pair of pants. These straps also have at their opposite end a fastener for a keychain, an identity card or other functional element.

A characteristic element of all these straps is the fact that they consist of an approximately one to two centimeters wide band section, which is commonly used as an advertising medium. Although wearing straps of this type are generally used, they now have the disadvantage that their widespread use worsens the advertising effectiveness. In the meantime, the end customer in particular is becoming somewhat saturated, since carrying straps are already widely available in most households. The object of the invention is therefore to develop the straps so that they get a greater appeal to the end user and thus greater popularity in the advertising industry by adding more functionality.

This object is achieved according to the invention in that in the pocket, at least one second engagement opening having additional pocket is arranged with a larger in relation to the size of the pocket receiving volume which is connected at at least one point with the carrying strap and folded inserted into the pocket is.

According to the invention, the bag is now used in the carrying strap to allow an additional function. In a simple case, this can be done by: in the bag an additional bag is arranged, which is preferably fixedly connected to the carrying strap or connected to the carrying strap in such a way that it can be removed from the carrying strap. A compound that allows removal from the strap, for example, be a push button or a Velcro connection. However, since the lanyard is very light and then, if the bag is to be held in the hand, usually no longer needed, since the attached to the strap items can then be transported in the bag, the additional bag will be connected to the lanyard ,

Thus, the additional bag can be completely stowed in the bag of the carrying strap, the attachment of the additional bag is preferably located within the pocket of the carrying strap, so that the carrying strap can be closed when rolled up and stowed in the bag additional bag. In this case, if a thin material is used for the extra bag, can be folded into the additional pocket so tight that the strap is imperceptibly thicker than a conventional lanyard tape. This thickness jump can bring additional even a higher quality impression with it, as the impression of a higher quality material arises.

The thickness of the folded additional bag can also be reduced by the additional bag is formed as a network, so that here material can be saved. This network can be made very tight mesh and made of a thin, for example, nylon material. A further preferred embodiment of such a net or a closed additional bag uses a material for the additional bag that is stretchable. Thus, the additional bag can be slipped over an object or automatically enlarge with appropriate filling load.

With a suitable design, the carrying strap can act as a handle for the additional pocket when the additional bag is loaded, in which case the additional bag preferably both ends of the elongated pocket is connected to the material of the carrying strap or is connectable.

A further preferred development of the invention is increased in its functionality in that other functional clothing elements are arranged in the pocket. For the purposes of the present invention, the term functional clothing is understood to mean any product that can be worn around or on the body of a wearer. The functional clothing is therefore not limited to a garment in the conventional sense.

A possible embodiment of the functional clothing, for example, a rain cover. Such a rain cover can be in a variety of ways, in the simplest case this is a rain cape that can be placed around the head or shoulder of the wearer. This cape can be a simple, water-repellent or waterproof foil or piece of fabric that can be rolled up into the pocket.

If the rain cover is to be worn over a wearer's head, there may be a risk of rainwater accumulating inside the pocket when attached centrally along the pocket, since a small edge of the pocket protrudes outwardly and upwardly, thus forming a small groove in which water collects. For this reason, the rain cover is preferably connected to the upper inner edge of the pocket in such a way that the surface of the rain cover facing away from the body is connected to the upper edge of the pocket on the side facing the head.

Now, if the rain cover is removed from the bag, the bag in the region of the carrying strap can preferably be turned over, so turned inwards, with the attachment of the lower edge of the rain cover in the region of the edge of the bag as well as no water-collecting gutter on the outside of rain protection results. This avoids unnecessary water in your pocket accumulates, which could spill out when carrying or when removing the rain cover could make the wearer wet.

Alternatively, of course, the bag can also be worn on the inside, so that the rain cover is completely continuous to the outside and the strap can be either elastic or shortening means, so that when attached rain cover the strap can be placed around the head and so the rain cap additionally attached to the body.

Alternatively, the rain cover can also be designed as a complete raincoat or with an upper area covering only the shoulders. Again, the above-described formation of a channel can be prevented by the fact that the rain jacket is connected at the appropriate location with the bag.

Other possible functional clothing for the purposes of the present invention may also be e.g. Be safety vests. Even a warning throw, which does not necessarily have the form of a vest, can be arranged inside the bag. Such a warning cover may be reflective strips that can be worn around a person's body, as is well known in the art. These stripes run approximately diagonally across the chest and back and are connected to a lower, belt-like edge.

Such warning throws are particularly useful for children, runners or cyclists, especially if they are provided with reflective, passive lighting elements or are made of a reflective material. Even non-reflective, for example in signal colors made warning throws or warning throws with active lighting, such as sewn LEDs are possible. Furthermore, the wrapper does not necessarily have a warning function, also a reference function, such as belonging to a team or the team of a fair cast is possible, so that the lanyard during the fair as an indication of a seller or his Ability, for example, in the form of his language skills or assignment to a product range can be used.

In a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, a rain vest, a safety vest or a signal or warning throw in the form of before and behind the body to be worn textile or plastic strip is used as functional clothing, in which case with the functional clothing, the bag and the closure means along the chest and / or the back of the wearer, so that the lanyard otherwise worn around the neck with attachment means hanging in front of the chest is then worn either over the shoulder straight down or across the chest from the chest around the side body over the back. Then the functional clothing can be simply rolled out of the bag or taken so that starting from the bag, the functional clothing can be pulled over the body. The then empty bag can then be used as a normal bag.

In connection with the embodiment described above, but also with the other embodiments, it may be expedient if the closure means is operable from both sides, so that the bag also after Umkrempeln, ie the "left to pull", again from the outside closed and can be opened. In this way, the unneeded items, such as the carabiners of the lanyard, with worn functional clothing or used additional bag in the upturned, left-hand bag can be stowed.

The functional clothing can be arranged within the additional pocket, so that the carrying strap has both the additional pocket and the functional clothing. In particular, when using a rain hood and a thin additional bag both elements can be arranged within the bag. Thus, a dual functionality of the lanyard can be achieved, which additionally enhances the attractiveness of the lanyard tape.

Further features and advantageous embodiments of the invention will become apparent from the dependent claims and the description of preferred embodiments with reference to the following figures, without the scope of the invention should be limited to these embodiments.

In this so-called lanyard band, a further additional element is arranged between the two band sections in the lower region, above a panic closure, wherein this additional element is a small pocket in which additional personal accessories can be worn. In the illustrated embodiment, this small bag is designed as a mobile phone holder 4. This mobile phone holder 4 is preferably closable or provided with an elastic wall, so that the cell phone under expansion of the wall in the mobile phone pocket 4 can be inserted and is secured against falling out. Alternatively, the small bag can also accommodate a Camera or other accessories, in particular a transponder for opening an entrance door or the like can be used.

In addition or as an alternative to this bag, an insertion pocket 5 can furthermore be provided as a coin receptacle, as a pocket for a shopping cart chip or as a receptacle for a memory card, which can be placed either on the carrying strap or on the wall of the mobile phone receptacle 4. Also, this insertion pocket 5 can be made of a flexible, stretchable material. In the pocket 1 of the lanyard tape here, not shown, the additional element in the form of additional bag or or and the functional clothing arranged. Otherwise, the illustrated lanyard tape is a commercially available lanyard tape, as it is already known from the prior art.

In FIG. 2 a lanyard is shown, which compared to the in FIG. 1 shown lanyard is much shorter, so that it can be worn on the belt loop of a pair of pants. This carrying strap has fastening means at both ends, wherein this carrying strap is also double-walled, and here too the double-walledness results in a pocket 1 extending along the strap, which pocket is closed by a zip fastener 2. Instead of the zipper, all other closure means 2 can be used.

At the in FIG. 2 illustrated embodiment, a net-like additional bag 3 is disposed within the bag 1, which is knotted with two side cords on the left side with the key ring, which forms the left fastening means. This pocket 1 can additionally be connected to the carrying strap at the right-hand edge, but it will preferably be designed loosely here, so that the additional pocket 3 is easier to fill and, moreover, can be kept larger, which are first folded before being inserted into the pocket 1 can, so that there is a width corresponding to a multiple length of the bag 1.

In FIG. 3 is a lanyard-illustrated, which also has a bag 1, wherein in this Lanyardband a rain cover 6 is arranged, which is connected at the upper edge of the bag 1 with the material of the carrying strap. The connection at the upper edge has the particular advantage that when wearing the rain cover 6 on the head of a wearer, as it is in FIG. 5 is shown, between the upper material and the Lanyardband no channel is formed, the water could catch and laterally derive on the carrier. In addition, so remains the bag 1 dry and it is avoided, the water accumulates in the bag 1.

In FIG. 4 is the lanyard band off FIG. 3 shown in a stylized view, in which case the bag 1 is opened by the pulled-zipper as a closure means 2. From the bag 1 a rain cover is rolled out as a rain cover 6. This rain cover can then be worn over the head of a person.

How out FIG. 5 it can be seen, hang the two ends of the lanyard tape right and left of the person's head like a plump, so that they can be connected to each other at the bottom as a normal lanyard. Thus, the lanyard despite the function as a rain cover 6 while wearing the rain cover on his head as usual for wearing, for example, keys or identification cards.

In the illustrated embodiment, the rain cover 6 is arranged directly along the extending in the longitudinal direction of the strap edge of the bag 1, so that the lanyard tape or the open edge of the bag is arranged on the body side with worn rain cover and does not catch the rainwater on the outside of the rain cover larger groove can form. This arrangement of the bag 1 is in particular also made FIG. 5 it can be seen here, that when wearing the rain cover 6, the pocket edges are arranged on the inner side of the rain cover.

In the FIGS. 6 and 7 are shown alternative functional clothing elements for use in connection with the invention, which here have the shape of a triangular warning throw 7. This Warnüberwurf 7 is provided on its front with reflective elements 8, wherein the back can be designed similarly.

So that the wearer of the warning throw 7, especially in the case of a fall, can not be endangered by a larger plastic closure, the Signalüberwurf 7 in the lower area no sharp plastic snaps but a double-walled implementation as Zurrbandkanal 10 for holding a flexible lashing 9. This lashing strap 9 can be wrapped around the body of the wearer and fastened via a non-dangerous plug connection with a bush arranged at one end of the lashing strap 9 and a plug arranged at the opposite end for securing the warning throw 7. The elements of the connector can serve at the same time a backup against slipping out of the lashing 9 from the lashing channel 10, provided they are thicker than the inner diameter of the lashing channel 10.
