A MULTI-PURPOSE VEST CONVERTIBLE INTO A BAG WITH AN ADDITIONAL INNER VOLUME

Description

Technical Field of the Invention

[0001] The invention of the application relates to a multi-purpose vest completely convertible into a bag with an additional inner volume in terms of appearance, durability, ease of carrying and capacity, which is suitable for the use of all kinds of professionals (hunters, fishermen, technical service personnel, law enforcement personnel, etc.) which need to keep various materials on hand, change them and carry them from one location to another due to occupational requirements, yet is especially developed for the use of photographers and members of the press/media having to carry considerable amounts of large and small technical equipment and having to travel this way most of the time because of their profession.

Known State of the Art Related to the Invention (Prior Art)

[0002] In the known state of the art, there are vests with multiple pockets developed for users having to carry large amounts of equipment of various sizes on them continuously. As originating point of these vests is military areas of use, generally named tactical vests, these products are vests developed only for the user to wear, produced from materials of various compositions, and which have various sized pockets on different regions.

[0003] However, the greatest disadvantages of these vests are that they cannot provide enough volume to carry materials greater than those which can fit into the pockets due to the fact that they are only wearable. Larger sized materials which need to be carried by hand or on shoulders are both open to all kinds of dangers (humidity, impact, theft, etc.), and they also create a heavy load for the user.

[0004] Again, another product found in the known state of the art and developed for the same intended use is a bag with multiple divisions having a structure capable of carrying objects with volumes larger than vests. Although these bags have the advantage of having both the use of vest pocket-like small divisions and also a large inner volume together, they do not have the freedom of movement provided to the user with the feature of a wearable vest.

[0005] Users who have to use these products found in the known state of the art have to either accept the disadvantages and limitations brought about by choosing either of these products (vest or bag), or they have to carry/wear both products at the same time.

[0006] A multi-purpose vest which is convertible into a bag is disclosed by the document DE3732496.

[0007] Therefore, it was required to develop a hybridised product which both possesses the practicality provided by pockets of various sizes and the freedom of movement provided to the user by being wearable, and also provides the user with the advantage of a large inner volume that a bag with multiple divisions provides when necessary.

Brief Description and Objects of the Invention

[0008] The present multi-purpose vest convertible into a bag with an additional inner volume is of a structure comprising more than one pocket of different sizes, and being wearable when necessary in accordance with its intended use or being convertible into a bag having a wide inner volume divided into one or more divisions.

[0009] The following were aimed in the development of the "multi-purpose vest convertible into a bag" invention:
