Fastening element for carrying bag

Abstract

A flexible fastening element fixed to a carrying bag, such as a backpack, and which includes a hooking zone to which an attached element can be fixed by a hooking means such as a snap hook. The invention is characterized in that the hooking zone is filiform and has a preferably circular cross-section.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A flexible fastening element adapted to be fixed on a carrying bag including: 
 at least two fixing points on the carrying bag;    a hooking zone to which an attached element can be fixed by a hooking means, said hooking zone being filiform.    
     
     
         2 . A flexible fastening element adapted to be fixed on a carrying bag, wherein the flexible fastening element is fixed at two fixing points on the carrying bag, and wherein the flexible fastening element includes a filiform hooking zone which forms a loop capable of gripping a pair of skis or an ice-axe.  
     
     
         3 . A flexible fastening element adapted to be fixed on a carrying bag said flexible fastening element comprising at least two filiform hooking zones, thus constituting at least two distinct fastening positions for an attached element.  
     
     
         4 . A fastening element according to  claim 1 , wherein the hooking zone has a substantially circular cross-section.  
     
     
         5 . A fastening element according to  claim 1 , wherein the hooking zone includes a protective sheath.  
     
     
         6 . A fastening element according to  claim 1 , wherein the hooking zone includes a wire cable.  
     
     
         7 . A fastening element according to  claim 1 , wherein the hooking zone includes a small rope.  
     
     
         8 . A fastening element according to  claim 5 , wherein the hooking zone includes a strap which is coiled within the protective sheath.  
     
     
         9 . A fastening element according to  claim 1 , wherein the fastening element is also adapted to be fixed to the carrying bag by at least one intermediate fixing point which is arranged along the hooking zone, thus defining at least two hooking segments.  
     
     
         10 . A fastening element according to  claim 5 , wherein the protective sheath is interrupted in an area of an intermediate fixing point.  
     
     
         11 . A fastening element according to  claim 9 , wherein the protective sheath is interrupted in an area of the intermediate fixing point.  
     
     
         12 . A fastening element according to  claim 10 , wherein the intermediate fixing point is constituted of a sliding return, and wherein the sliding return has a sliding diameter smaller than an outer diameter of the protective sheath.  
     
     
         13 . A fastening element according to  claim 1 , wherein the fastening element extends through the envelope of the carrying bag in an area of the fixing point, and wherein the envelope includes a reinforcement, in an area of at least one fixing point, which is arranged within the carrying bag.  
     
     
         14 . A fastening element according to  claim 13 , wherein the reinforcement is flexible, and wherein the reinforcement is folded and fixed around the portion of the fastening element which is arranged within the carrying bag.  
     
     
         15 . A fastening element according to  claim 13 , wherein the fastening element includes a stiffening band which is affixed to the envelope of the carrying bag, and wherein the stiffening band includes at least two holes in which the cable passes.  
     
     
         16 . A fastening element according to  claim 14 , wherein the hooking zone includes a protective sheath, wherein the protective sheath is continuous in an area of at least one intermediate fixing point, and wherein the protective sheath extends through the stiffening band by at least two holes.  
     
     
         17 . A carrying bag equipped with at least one fastening element according to  claim 1.
