Carrying system

Abstract

The present invention concerns a carrying system for carrying an object, including: (a) an essentially elastic portion, (b) where the essentially elastic portion is attached to the object at a first position located on the object; and (c) a limitation arrangement, where a length of the limitation arrangement limits a maximum extension of the essentially elastic portion, and (d) where the limitation arrangement is attached at least at one second position on the object that is different from the first position.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A carrying system for carrying an object, comprising:
 an essentially elastic portion,   wherein the essentially elastic portion is attached to the object at a first position located on the object; and   a limitation arrangement, wherein a length of the limitation arrangement limits a maximum extension of the essentially elastic portion, and   wherein the limitation arrangement is attached at least at one second position on the object that is different from the first position.   
     
     
         2 . The carrying system according to the  claim 1 , wherein the limitation arrangement comprises a limitation strap and a guiding portion, wherein the guiding portion is attached to the object at the second position, and wherein the limitation strap is slidably attached to the guiding portion. 
     
     
         3 . The carrying system according to  claim 2 , wherein the guiding portion comprises a guiding tape. 
     
     
         4 . The carrying system according to  claim 2 , wherein the limitation strap is slidably attached to the guiding portion by means of a first essentially loop-shaped tape and/or a first ring. 
     
     
         5 . The carrying system according to  claim 1 , wherein the limitation arrangement is less elastic than the essentially elastic portion. 
     
     
         6 . The carrying system according to  claim 1 , wherein the at least one second position is vertically separated from the first position by a first vertical distance. 
     
     
         7 . The carrying system according to  claim 6 , wherein the first vertical distance is at least 2 cm. 
     
     
         8 . The carrying system according to  claim 1 , wherein the first position located on the object is located at a second vertical distance  23  of at least 2 cm below a top of the object. 
     
     
         9 . The carrying system according to  claim 1 , wherein the limitation arrangement comprises a cushioning element. 
     
     
         10 . The carrying system according to  claim 1 , wherein the essentially elastic portion comprises at least a first layer and a second layer. 
     
     
         11 . The carrying system according to  claim 10 , wherein the first layer comprises an elastic mesh. 
     
     
         12 . The carrying system according to  claim 10 , wherein the first layer has a first elastic modulus, wherein the second layer has a second elastic modulus, and wherein the first elastic modulus is not identical to the second elastic modulus. 
     
     
         13 . The carrying system according to  claim 10 , wherein the first layer has a different length than the second layer. 
     
     
         14 . The carrying system according to  claim 12 , wherein the limitation arrangement has a third elastic modulus and wherein the third elastic modulus is lower than the first elastic modulus and the second elastic modulus. 
     
     
         15 . The carrying system according to  claim 2 , wherein the limitation arrangement and/or the guiding portion comprises a woven textile. 
     
     
         16 . The carrying system according to  claim 2 , wherein the essentially elastic portion is attached to the limitation strap at a third position located on the limitation strap. 
     
     
         17 . The carrying system according to  claim 16 , further comprising a retaining element attached to the limitation arrangement at a fourth position located on the limitation arrangement and a fifth position located on the limitation arrangement, wherein the essentially elastic portion is arranged between the retaining element and the limitation arrangement at the fourth position and the fifth position, and wherein the essentially elastic portion is not attached to the limitation arrangement at the fourth position and/or the fifth position. 
     
     
         18 . The carrying system according to the  claim 17 , wherein the retaining element comprises a second essentially loop-shaped tape. 
     
     
         19 . The carrying system according to  claim 17 , wherein the retaining element comprises an elastomer. 
     
     
         20 . The carrying system according to  claim 1 , wherein the essentially elastic portion and the limitation arrangement are part of a carrying strap. 
     
     
         21 . The carrying system according to  claim 1 , wherein the object is a backpack or bag, or a part thereof. 
     
     
         22 . A backpack or bag comprising at least one carrying system according to  claim 2 .
