Claims37
A modular carrying system composed of at least the following system components comprising:
- a. a protective vest with at least one back part and with means for fastening to a human torso,
- b. a hip belt,
- c. a carrying device for being filled with loads to be carried, wherein the carrying device has carrying shoulder straps for fastening to a human torso, and
- d. a housing for accommodating an electronic unit, wherein the housing can be attached to the rear side of the protective vest,
- and wherein
- the hip belt has a connecting element for the connection of the protective vest without the interposition of the housing, and wherein the connecting element is designed to transmit weight loads from the protective vest to the hip belt.
A hip belt for use with a modular carrying system comprising:
- a hip belt has a coupling for the direct coupling of a carrying device which is provided for being filled with loads to be carried, and wherein the hip belt also has a connecting element, which is suitable for transmitting pressure forces, for the direct connection of a back part of a protective vest, wherein the coupling of the hip belt and the connecting element of the hip belt are arranged on the back of a human torso, adjacent to a lower region of a human spine, when the hip belt is worn correctly.
A modular carrying system having a protective vest with at least one back part and having means for fastening to a human torso, wherein the back part of the protective vest can be connected to further system components, comprising:
- at least one part of the means for fastening to a human torso has eyelets or receiving openings, and the back part is provided with fastening loops, wherein the fastening loops can be inserted into the eyelets or receiving openings, and wherein at least one elongate fixing element is provided which can be guided through those ends of the fastening loops which are inserted into the eyelets or receiving openings, and the eyelets or receiving openings, the fastening loops and the elongate fixing element are designed such that the fastening loops can no longer pass out through the eyelets or the receiving openings after the elongate fixing element has been guided through, wherein the elongate fixing element has a manipulation element for pulling the fixing element out of the fastening loops.
A modular carrying system having at least one protective vest with at least one back part and having means for fastening to a human torso, comprising:
- a back pad can be attached to an inner side, which faces toward the human torso, of the back part of the protective vest, wherein the back pad can be fastened in height-adjustable fashion to the inner side of the back part by means of a hook-and-loop connection, and wherein the back part has attached thereto at least one back pad fastening tab which, after the back pad has been positioned, can be folded over onto the inner side, which faces toward the human torso, of the back pad and fixed there by means of a hook-and-loop connection.
