Abstract

A backpack is provided. The backpack includes: a longitudinal supporting element, a first end of which is opposite to the shoulder and the second end opposite to a waist of the user; a main body includes a top end, a middle part and a bottom end; the main body is inclined relative to the longitudinal supporting element; and a transverse connector connects the longitudinal supporting element to the main body, and maintains the inclination of the main body relative to the longitudinal supporting element. A portion weight of the main body is shared by the waist or back, reducing the pressure on the shoulders and achieving a load reduction effect. And the inclination creates a backward stretching force on the shoulders, thereby correcting the curvature of the shoulders and back.

Claims (30)

1 . A backpack, wherein the backpack comprising a longitudinal supporting element, a main body and at least one transverse connector;

wherein the longitudinal supporting element comprising a first end and a second end, and an intermediate portion being connected the first end to the second end; when the backpack is carried on a shoulder of a user, the first end is opposite to the shoulder and the second end opposite to a waist of the user;

wherein the main body is independent of the longitudinal supporting element, the main body comprising a top end, a middle part and a bottom end; wherein the top end being opposite to the first end, and the bottom end being opposite to the second end, and a middle part being connected the top end to the bottom end; wherein the main body being inclined relative to the longitudinal supporting element, wherein the top end of the main body is inclined relative to the longitudinal supporting element in a direction away from the longitudinal supporting element; and

wherein the transverse connector being configured to connect the longitudinal supporting element to the main body, and at least partially maintaining the inclination of the main body relative to the longitudinal supporting element; and

a first lateral spacing between the first end and the top end is greater than a second lateral spacing between the second end and the bottom end, wherein the bottom end of the main body abuts against the longitudinal supporting element or is connected to the longitudinal supporting element via a supporting component.

2 . The backpack of claim 1 , wherein the transverse connector comprises a first connecting part connected to the longitudinal supporting element, a second connecting part connected to the main body, and an intermediate connecting part, and the intermediate connecting part is configured to connect the first connecting part and the second connecting part;

wherein a spacing between the first connecting part and the second connecting part decreases gradually from the first end of the longitudinal supporting element to the second end.

3 . The backpack of claim 1 , wherein the backpack further comprises a supporting component independent of the transverse connector;

wherein the supporting component is extended by the longitudinal supporting element and at least partially supporting the main body;

wherein the supporting component is an elastic element or a buffer components.

4 . The backpack of claim 3 , wherein the supporting component is connected to the second end of the longitudinal supporting element, and the second end is connected to the support component, allowing the supporting component to rotate around the second end; and

when the supporting component is rotated around the second end, the inclined angle of the main body relative to the longitudinal supporting element changes accordingly.

5 . The backpack of claim 3 , wherein the supporting component is provided between a middle portion of the longitudinal supporting element and a middle portion of the main body, and the supporting component extends a first distance from the longitudinal supporting element to increase the second lateral spacing.

6 . The backpack of claim 3 , wherein the supporting component is configured to connect the second end of the longitudinal supporting element and the bottom end of the main body.

7 . The backpack of claim 3 , wherein the supporting component is extended laterally out by a second end of the longitudinal supporting element, and the main body is disposed on the supporting component.

8 . The backpack of claim 7 , wherein the main body is disposed on the supporting component by a first intermediate connector, the first intermediate connector comprises a first part and a second part;

wherein the first part is connected to the main body, the second part is connected to the supporting element, and an inclined angle between the first part and the second part is changed with the rotation of a rotating shaft.

9 . The backpack of claim 8 , wherein the main body is disposed on the supporting component by the first intermediate connector, wherein the first intermediate connector is in a wedge shape with an oblique surface touching the bottom end of the main body.

10 . The backpack of claim 9 , wherein a sliding groove is defined on the first intermediate connector, and a fastener is arranged in the sliding groove;

the sliding groove moves along the fastener, to adjust an inclined angle of the inclined surface.

11 . The backpack of claim 3 , wherein one or more or all of the longitudinal supporting element, the transverse connector and the supporting component are hidden; or one or more or all of the longitudinal supporting element, the transverse connector and the supporting component are exposed.

12 . The backpack of claim 11 , wherein the backpack comprises a zipper located between the longitudinal supporting element and the main body, the closing and pulling of the zipper resulting in hidden and exposure of the transverse connector.

13 . The backpack according to claim 1 , wherein the transverse connector is made a filling material.

14 . The backpack of claim 1 , wherein a lateral width of the transverse connector is adjustable at a predetermined interval.

15 . The backpack of claim 14 , wherein the backpack also comprises a strap connected to the longitudinal supporting element and a strip connecting the main body to the strap, the strip is connected to the strap in different locations.

16 . The backpack of claim 1 , wherein the transverse connector is at least partially rigid.

17 . The backpack of claim 1 , wherein the transverse connector is a textile object surrounding and connecting the main body to the longitudinal supporting element.

18 . The backpack of claim 1 , wherein the main body is switched between an inclined position and a non-inclined position.

19 . The backpack of claim 1 , wherein the variation range of the inclined angle between the main body and the longitudinal supporting element is greater than 0° and less than 90°.

20 . The backpack of claim 1 , wherein an internal space of the main body is separated into at least two subspaces by at least one hard sheet.
