Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Polstereinheit für einen Rucksack gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1.The invention relates to a cushion unit for a backpack according to the preamble of claim 1.

In der DE-OS 26 49 067 ist eine im Rückenbereich eines Rucksackes angeordnete Drahtgeflechtmatte aus Kunststoff beschrieben, die luftdurchlässig ist und einem Schwitzen im Rückenbereich vorbeugen soll. Ein Problem einer derartigen Drahtgeflechtmatte besteht jedoch darin, daß Drahtenden des Geflechtes aus der Matte heraustreten und zu Beschädigungen des Rucksackes oder der Kleidung des Rucksackträgers führen und/oder den Träger des Rucksackes selbst beeinträchtigen können.DE-OS 26 49 067 describes a wire mesh mat made of plastic which is arranged in the back area of a backpack and is permeable to air and is intended to prevent sweating in the back area. A problem with such a wire mesh mat, however, is that wire ends of the mesh come out of the mat and cause damage of the backpack or the clothing of the backpack wearer and / or can affect the wearer of the backpack itself.

Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht daher darin, eine Polstereinheit für einen Rucksack zu schaffen, bei der sichergestellt ist, daß keine Drahtenden der Matte zu Beschädigungen bzw. Beeinträchtigungen führen können, wobei gleichzeitig eine gute Luftdurchlässigkeit der Polstereinheit gewährleistet ist.The object of the present invention is therefore to provide a cushion unit for a backpack, in which it is ensured that no wire ends of the mat can lead to damage or impairment, while at the same time ensuring good air permeability of the cushion unit.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch eine Polstereinheit gemäß dem Patentanspruch 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by a cushion unit according to claim 1.

Der wesentliche Vorteil der erfindungsgemäßen Polstereinheit besteht darin, daß Beschädigungen der Kleidung des Rucksackträgers und/oder Beeinträchtigungen des Rucksackträgers vermieden werden und daß gleichzeitig sichergestellt wird, daß die Polstereinheit in hohem Maße luftdurchlässig ist, so daß ein Schwitzen im Rückenbereich weitgehendst vermieden wird.The main advantage of the cushion unit according to the invention is that damage to the clothes of the backpack carrier and / or impairments of the backpack carrier are avoided and at the same time it is ensured that the cushion unit is highly permeable to air, so that sweating in the back area is largely avoided.

Bei einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform besteht die Schutzschicht, die die Geflechtmatte umgibt und ein Hindurchtreten von Drahtenden bzw. von spitzwinkeligen Drahtverläufen dieser Matte verhindert, aus einer Schicht, die eine luftdurchlässige obere Schicht, eine luftdurchlässige untere Schicht und zwischen diesen Schichten angeordnete Stützelemente aufweist, die die obere Schicht und die untere Schicht auf Abstand halten. Der Abstand zwischen diesen Schichten liegt vorzugsweise bei etwa 0,2 bis 1,5 cm. Die Stützelemente weisen vorzugsweise die Form von Stützstäben auf, die in der Richtung der Normalen der oberen Schicht und der unteren Schicht verlaufen. Insbesondere ist die untere Schicht, die der Geflechtmatte zugewandt ist, so dicht, daß keine Drahtenden bzw. spitzen Abwinkelungen der die Geflechtmatte bildenden Drähte bzw. Fäden durch sie hindurchtreten können. Selbst wenn die genannten Drahtenden die untere Schicht eindrücken sollten, wird dies durch die Stützelemente federnd ausgeglichen, so daß die obere Schicht eben bleibt.In a particularly preferred embodiment, the protective layer which surrounds the braid mat and prevents wire ends or acute-angled wire runs of this mat from passing through consists of a layer which has an air-permeable upper layer, an air-permeable lower layer and between them Has layers arranged support elements that keep the upper layer and the lower layer at a distance. The distance between these layers is preferably about 0.2 to 1.5 cm. The support elements preferably have the form of support rods which run in the direction of the normal to the upper layer and the lower layer. In particular, the lower layer, which faces the mesh mat, is so dense that no wire ends or sharp bends of the wires or threads forming the mesh mat can pass through it. Even if the mentioned wire ends should press in the lower layer, this is compensated for by the supporting elements, so that the upper layer remains flat.

Besonders bevorzugt umfaßt die vorliegende Polstereinheit eine Metall- oder Kunststoffplatte, die an der Rucksackrückenseite anliegt und zur Anpassung an die Anatomie des Menschen dadurch konkav geformt ist, daß wenigstens eine, vorzugsweise jedoch zwei in Querrichtung verlaufende und in der Längsrichtung der Kunststoffplatte voneinander beabstandete Nähte vorgesehen sind, die die Geflechtmatte und die Schutzschicht zur Kunststoffplatte ziehen, so daß wegen der dadurch bewirkten Verkürzung der Geflechtmatte in der Längsrichtung eine konkave Krümmung der Kunststoffplatte und damit der gesamten Einheit erreicht wird. Zur Gewichtsersparung kann die Kunststoffplatte Aussparungen bzw. Löcher enthalten.The present padding unit particularly preferably comprises a metal or plastic plate, which rests on the back of the backpack and is concavely shaped in order to adapt to the anatomy of the person by providing at least one, but preferably two, seams running in the transverse direction and spaced apart in the longitudinal direction of the plastic plate are that pull the mesh mat and the protective layer to the plastic plate, so that due to the resulting shortening of the mesh mat in the longitudinal direction, a concave curvature of the plastic plate and thus the entire unit is achieved. The plastic plate can contain cutouts or holes to save weight.

Zu der Erfindung führten die folgenden Überlegungen. Bei der Verwendung einer relativ luftdurchlässigen Polsterschicht im Rückenbereich eines Rucksackes, deren Aufgabe darin besteht, zur Bildung eines Luft-Ventilationsraumes im Rückenbereich des Rucksackes einen Abstand von vorzugsweise etwa 2 - 3 cm zwischen dem Rücken des Rucksackträgers und der Rucksackrückenwand zu schaffen, muß die Polsterschicht eine relativ große Steifigkeit besitzen, damit sie nicht zusammengepreßt wird und ihre Abstandsfunktion nicht verliert. Wenn die Polsterschicht die Form einer Geflechtmatte aufweist, können die relativ steifen Metall- oder Kunststoffdrähte bzw. -fäden, die die Geflechtmatte bilden oder spitzwinkelige Abbiegungen derselben, zur Seite des Rückens des Rucksackträgers hin vorstehen und Beschädigungen der Bekleidung des Rucksackträgers oder sogar Beeinträchtigungen des Rucksackträgers selbst bewirken. Um dies zu verhindern, wird die Geflechtmatte mit einer Schutzschicht kombiniert, die in hohem Maße luftdurchlässig und gleichzeitig so dicht und fest ist, daß die genannten Drahtenden bzw. Abwinkelungen nicht durch sie hindurchtreten können. Gleichzeitig kann diese Schutzschicht aber auch eine weitere Funktion erfüllen, die darin besteht, für die Behaglichkeit des Rucksackträgers unerwünschte Unebenheiten der Geflechtmatte wegen ihrer Flexibilität auszugleichen.The following considerations led to the invention. When using a relatively air-permeable cushioning layer in the back area of a backpack, the task of which is to create a distance of preferably about 2-3 cm between the back of the backpack carrier and the backpack back wall to form an air ventilation space in the back area of the backpack have a relatively high stiffness so that it is not compressed and does not lose its spacing function. If the cushion layer is in the form of a mesh mat, the relatively stiff metal or plastic wires or threads that the Form braid mat or acute-angled bends of the same, protrude to the side of the back of the backpack carrier and cause damage to the clothing of the backpack carrier or even impairment of the backpack carrier itself. In order to prevent this, the mesh mat is combined with a protective layer which is highly permeable to air and at the same time is so tight and firm that the wire ends or bends mentioned cannot pass through them. At the same time, this protective layer can also perform a further function, which is to compensate for uncomfortable unevenness in the mesh mat for the comfort of the backpack wearer because of its flexibility.

Gemäß Figur 1 umfaßt die vorliegende Polstereinheit 1 in ihrer allgemeinsten Form eine vorzugsweise aus Kunststoff- oder Metalldrähten 7 gebildete luftdurchlässige Abstandsschicht bzw. Geflechtmatte 2, die vorzugsweise an ihren Außenrändern durch Erwärmen derart umgebogen ist, daß ihre äußeren Randbereiche 3 nach innen gebogen sind, und eine luftdurchlässige Schutzschicht 4. Die Geflechtmatte 2 kann die Form eines Gestrickes, Geflechtes oder Gewirkes aus Drähten aufweisen, wobei unter "Geflecht" auch die Anordnung von spiralförmig verlaufenden Drähten oder Fäden verstanden wird. Auch kann das Geflecht die Form einer Schicht aus Roßhaar aufweisen. Wichtig ist lediglich, daß das gebildete Geflecht die weiter oben genannte Abstandsfunktion zur Schaffung des Luft-Ventilationsraumes erfüllt.According to Figure 1, the present cushion unit 1 comprises in its most general form an air-permeable spacer layer or braid mat 2, which is preferably formed from plastic or metal wires 7 and which is preferably bent at its outer edges by heating such that its outer edge regions 3 are bent inwards, and an air-permeable protective layer 4. The braid mat 2 can have the form of a knitted fabric, braid or knitted fabric made of wires, wherein “braid” is also understood to mean the arrangement of spirally running wires or threads. The braid can also have the shape of a layer of horsehair. It is only important that the braid formed is the one mentioned above Distance function to create the air ventilation space fulfilled.

Die erwähnte Umbiegung der äußeren Randbereiche erfolgt vorzugsweise an den sich gegenüberliegenden Längsrändern 5 der Geflechtmatte 2 und vorzugsweise auch an den sich gegenüberliegenden Querrändern 6 der Geflechtmatte 2.The aforementioned bending of the outer edge regions preferably takes place on the opposite longitudinal edges 5 of the mesh mat 2 and preferably also on the opposite transverse edges 6 of the mesh mat 2.

Vorzugsweise besteht die Geflechtmatte 2 aus schlingenartig verlaufenden Kunststoffäden bzw. -drähten 7, die an Überkreuzungspunkten, insbesondere an allen Überkreuzungspunkten fest miteinander verbunden sind und unregelmäßig zwischen einer ersten Fläche 21 und einer zweiten Fläche 22 der Geflechtmatte 2 verlaufen. Die Dicke der vollständig luftdurchlässigen Geflechtmatte 2 beträgt vorzugsweise etwa 1 bis 4 cm. Durch die beschriebene Umbiegung der Randbereiche 3 wird einerseits eine Verdoppelung der Dicke der Außenkanten der Geflechtmatte 2 erreicht, so daß der Luftzutritt von den Längs- und Querrändern 5, 6 her in der Pfeilrichtung 8 besonders groß ist und daß andererseits nach außen weisende offene Drahtenden der Kunststoffdrähte 7 der Geflechtmatte 2 vermieden werden, so daß derartige Drahtenden nicht störend in Erscheinung treten können.The mesh mat 2 preferably consists of loop-like plastic threads or wires 7 which are firmly connected to one another at crossover points, in particular at all crossover points, and which run irregularly between a first surface 21 and a second surface 22 of the mesh mat 2. The thickness of the completely air-permeable mesh mat 2 is preferably about 1 to 4 cm. By the described bending of the edge regions 3, on the one hand, the thickness of the outer edges of the mesh mat 2 is doubled, so that the air access from the longitudinal and transverse edges 5, 6 in the direction of the arrow 8 is particularly large, and, on the other hand, that open wire ends pointing outwards Plastic wires 7 of the mesh mat 2 can be avoided so that such wire ends can not be a nuisance.

Die gesamte Polstereinheit 1 kann gemäß den gepunkteten Linien 40 der Figur 2 in der Quer- und/oder Längsrichtung mehrfach durchnäht sein, so daß die gesamte Einheit biegefreundlich ist.The entire cushion unit 1 can according to the dotted lines 40 of Figure 2 in the transverse and / or longitudinal direction be sewn several times so that the entire unit is easy to bend.

Die Schutzschicht 4 besteht allgemein gesagt aus einer luftdurchlässigen Materialschicht, die verhindert, daß beim Gebrauch beispielsweise durch Brüche entstehende freie Drahtenden oder relativ spitze Drahtschlingen in die Bekleidung des Rucksackträgers, und/oder den Rucksack beschädigender Weise oder den Rucksackträger selbst beeinträchtigender Weise nach außen treten. Gleichzeitig besteht ein wesentlicher Effekt der Schutzschicht 4 auch darin, Unebenheiten und Rauhigkeiten der Geflechtmatte 2 federnd auszugleichen.The protective layer 4 consists generally of an air-permeable material layer, which prevents, during use, for example, free wire ends or relatively pointed wire loops resulting from breaks from escaping into the clothing of the backpack wearer, and / or damaging the backpack or the backpack wearer itself in a manner that impairs the exterior. At the same time, an essential effect of the protective layer 4 is also to compensate for unevenness and roughness of the braid mat 2 in a resilient manner.

Insbesonders besteht die Schutzschicht 4 aus einer sogenannten Gare-tex-Schicht, die eine luftdurchlässige erste Schicht 41, eine davon beabstandete luftdurchlässige zweite Schicht 42 und sogenannte Stützstäbe 43 aufweist, die in der Richtung der Normalen der ersten Schicht 41 und der zweiten Schicht 42 verlaufen und diese auf Abstand voneinander halten. Die Dicke dieser Schutzschicht 4 liegt bei vorzugsweise etwa 1 cm.In particular, the protective layer 4 consists of a so-called Gare-tex layer, which has an air-permeable first layer 41, an air-permeable second layer 42 spaced therefrom and so-called support bars 43 which run in the direction of the normal to the first layer 41 and the second layer 42 and keep them apart. The thickness of this protective layer 4 is preferably about 1 cm.

In der aus der Figur 1 ersichtlichen Weise ist die Schutzschicht 4 aus der Geflechtmatte 2 so angeordnet, daß sie die Geflechtmatte 2 vorzugsweise allseitig, zumindest aber an der dem Rucksackträger zugewandten Seite umgibt. Die Einheit 1 besteht dann aus der Matte 2 und der Schicht 4. Die Schicht 4 kann mit der Hilfe einer luftdurchlässigen Deckschicht 11 umhüllt sein, so daß die Matte 2, die Schutzschicht 4 und die Deckschicht 11 die Einheit 1 bilden.In the manner shown in FIG. 1, the protective layer 4 made of the mesh mat 2 is arranged such that it surrounds the mesh mat 2 preferably on all sides, but at least on the side facing the backpack carrier. The unit 1 then consists of the mat 2 and the layer 4. The layer 4 can be covered with the help of an air-permeable cover layer 11, so that the mat 2, the protective layer 4 and the cover layer 11 form the unit 1.

Gemäß den Figuren 2 und 3 ist die beschriebene Polstereinheit 1 vorzugsweise auf einer plattenförmigen Unterlage 9 befestigt, die vorzugsweise aus einem Kunststoffmaterial besteht. An den Rändern der Unterlage 9 ist eine Netzschicht 12 befestigt, derart, daß die Polstereinheit 1 in die zwischen der Unterlage 9 und der Netzschicht 12 gebildete Tasche einschiebbar ist. Vorzugsweise ist die Netzschicht 12 an den Randbereichen der Unterlage 9 vernäht (Nähte 10). Nach dem Einschieben der Polstereinheit 1 wird der noch nicht verschlossene Rand der Netzschicht 12 an der Unterlage 9 vernäht.According to FIGS. 2 and 3, the described cushion unit 1 is preferably fastened on a plate-shaped base 9, which preferably consists of a plastic material. A net layer 12 is fastened to the edges of the base 9 such that the cushion unit 1 can be inserted into the pocket formed between the base 9 and the net layer 12. The net layer 12 is preferably sewn at the edge regions of the base 9 (seams 10). After inserting the cushion unit 1, the not yet closed edge of the net layer 12 is sewn onto the base 9.

Um zur Anpassung an die menschliche Anatomie eine konkave Krümmung der Polstereinheit 1 und der an der Rucksackrückenwand 14 anliegenden Unterlage 9 zu erreichen, wird bevorzugt wenigstens eine in der Querrichtung der Polstereinheit 1 verlaufende Naht 15, die die Netzschicht 12 sowie die Polstereinheit 1 in Richtung auf die Unterlage 9 zieht, vorgesehen. Beim Einbringen dieser Naht 15, wird die Polstereinheit 1 an der der Unterlage 9 abgewandten Seite in ihrer Längsrichtung verkürzt. Dies hat zur Folge, daß die Unterlage 9 konkav gekrümmt wird. Vorzugsweise werden in der Längsrichtung voneinander beabstandet zwei Nähte 15, 15 in die Polstereinheit 1 eingebracht.In order to adapt the human anatomy to a concave curvature of the pad unit 1 and the pad 9 lying against the back wall of the backpack 14, at least one seam 15 running in the transverse direction of the pad unit 1 is preferred, which seams the mesh layer 12 and the pad unit 1 in the direction of the pad 9 pulls, provided. When this seam 15 is introduced, the cushion unit 1 is shortened in its longitudinal direction on the side facing away from the base 9. The result of this is that the base 9 is curved concavely. Preferably two seams 15, 15 are introduced into the cushion unit 1 at a distance from one another in the longitudinal direction.

Um ein Rascheln bzw. Knistern zu verhindern, das entsteht, wenn die Drähte 7 der Geflechtmatte 2 insbesondere im Überlappungsbereich der Längs- und Querränder 5, 6 und/oder bei der Druckausübung auf die Schutzschicht 4 an dieser reiben, kann eine diese Geräuschentwicklung dämpfende Schicht 16 vorgesehen werden, die zwischen den sich überlappenden Bereichen der Ränder 5, 6 und/oder zwischen den Flächen der Geflechtmatte 2 und der Schutzschicht 4 vorgesehen ist (Fig. 1).In order to prevent rustling or crackling, which occurs when the wires 7 of the mesh mat 2 rub against the protective layer 4, in particular in the overlap region of the longitudinal and transverse edges 5, 6 and / or when pressure is exerted on the protective layer 4, a layer which dampens this noise development can 16 are provided, which is provided between the overlapping regions of the edges 5, 6 and / or between the surfaces of the mesh mat 2 and the protective layer 4 (FIG. 1).

Am oberen Ende kann die Polstereinheit 1 ein sogenanntes Trägerherzteil 30 aufweisen, an dem seitlich die Trägergurte 31, 32 befestigt sind. Im Bereich des Trägerherzteils 30 ist die Polstereinheit 1 ausgespart, so daß das Trägerherzteil 30 zusammen mit der Netzschicht 12 an der Unterlage 9 vernäht ist.At the upper end, the cushion unit 1 can have a so-called carrier heart part 30, to which the carrier straps 31, 32 are laterally attached. In the area of the carrier heart part 30, the cushion unit 1 is recessed, so that the carrier heart part 30 is sewn together with the net layer 12 on the base 9.

Es ist auch denkbar, Polstereinheiten 1', 1'' und 1''' in der in der Figur 4 dargestellten Weise an der Rucksackrückenseite 14 anzuordnen. Demgemäß befindet sich im unteren Bereich der Rucksackrückenseite 14 eine in etwa über die gesamte Querrichtung der Rucksackrückenseite 14 verlaufende Polstereinheit 1''', an die seitlich die Hüftflossen 17, 18 angesetzt sein können. Darüber befinden sich in der Querrichtung voneinander beabstandet zwei weitere Polstereinheiten 1' und 1'', die in der Längsrichtung ausgehend von der Polstereinheit 1''' zum oberen Ende der Rucksackrückenwand 14 bis etwa zu den Ansatzpunkten der Schultergurte verlaufen. Diese Ausführungsform eignet sich besonders für Trekkingrucksäcke, bei denen im oberen Bereich der Rucksackrückenwand 14 ein konkaver Verlauf und im unteren Bereich ein sich daran anschließender konvexer Bereich gewünscht werden. Dieser Verlauf wird durch die entsprechende Biegung der in der Längsrichtung des Rucksackes verlaufenden Stützstäbe 19, 20 erreicht, die vorzugsweise aus Aluminium bestehen. An der dem Rucksackträger zugewandten Seite können die Polstereinheiten 1' und 1'' durch in Querrichtung verlaufende Stützgurte 23 verbunden sein.It is also conceivable to arrange cushion units 1 ′, 1 ″ and 1 ″ ″ on the back of the backpack 14 in the manner shown in FIG. Accordingly, in the lower region of the back of the backpack 14 there is a cushion unit 1 ″ ″ running approximately over the entire transverse direction of the back of the backpack 14, to which the hip fins 17, 18 can be attached laterally. Above it are two spaced apart in the transverse direction further cushion units 1 'and 1'', which extend in the longitudinal direction from the cushion unit 1''' to the upper end of the backpack back wall 14 up to approximately the starting points of the shoulder straps. This embodiment is particularly suitable for trekking backpacks in which a concave course is desired in the upper region of the backpack back wall 14 and a convex region adjoining it in the lower region. This course is achieved by the corresponding bending of the support rods 19, 20 extending in the longitudinal direction of the backpack, which preferably consist of aluminum. On the side facing the backpack carrier, the cushion units 1 ′ and 1 ″ can be connected by support straps 23 running in the transverse direction.

Es ist gemäß Figur 5 auch denkbar, die Netzschicht 12 randseitig so an der Rucksackrückenwand 14 zu befestigen bzw. zu vernähen, daß zwischen der Rucksackrückenwand 14 und der Netzschicht 12 eine Tasche gebildet wird, in die die Polstereinheit 1 eingeschoben werden kann. Ferner kann gemäß Figur 6 auch die Schutzschicht 12 selbst an der Rucksackrückenwand 14 zur Bildung einer Tasche randseitig befestigt, vorzugsweise vernäht werden, in die dann die Geflechtmatte 2 einschiebbar ist. Die Netzschicht 12 kann bei dieser Ausführungsform entfallen.According to FIG. 5, it is also conceivable to attach or sew the edge of the net layer 12 to the backpack back wall 14 in such a way that a pocket is formed between the backpack back wall 14 and the net layer 12, into which the cushion unit 1 can be inserted. Furthermore, according to FIG. 6, the protective layer 12 itself can also be attached, preferably sewn, to the back of the backpack 14 to form a pocket, into which the mesh mat 2 can then be inserted. The network layer 12 can be omitted in this embodiment.

Es ist auch denkbar, die Schultergurte 31, 32 des Rucksackes und/oder die Hüftgurte 17, 19 auf ihren dem Rucksackträger zugewandten Seiten mit der vorliegenden luftdurchlässigen Polstereinheit 1 zu versehen.It is also conceivable to provide the shoulder straps 31, 32 of the backpack and / or the hip straps 17, 19 with the present air-permeable cushion unit 1 on their sides facing the backpack carrier.
