Abstract:
A bag, such as a backpack (100), is provided having first and second closure mechanisms ((124), (152)). The backpack (100) includes an opening (116) at the top end (104) of the bag (100), with the first and the second closure mechanisms ((124), (152)) configured to selectively secure and close the opening (116). The first closure mechanism (124) is configured to couple a front side (112) and a back side (114) of the backpack (100) at the top end (104) to partially close the opening (116) and form a first slot (126) and a second slot (128). The second closure mechanism (152) is configured to partially or completely secure the opening (116) by securing a first edge of the opening (116) to a second edge of the opening (116) to close each slot ((126), (128)). The second closure mechanism (152) includes a first and a second releasable fastener ((158), (160)) which may be zippers. The first and second slots ((126), (128)) are alignable with one or more interior sections to form first and second equipment storage compartments ((136), (138)) within the backpack (100).
Abstract:
A modular mobile device enclosure and multi-part system or kit for purposes of providing functionality of mobile devices while embedded within or upon clothing or objects comprising a connectable by swivel snap modular device enclosure that couples with the opposing connectable swivel snap track, swivel snap pin or other swivel snap connection whereas the device is accessed via a snap and swivel motion from wherever placed by the user. In cases where a swivel motion may not be required to access the device, the system or kit by default is a secure connection between the enclosure, track, object or harness.

Abstract:
Dispositif pour limiter les dépôts de sable sur une serviette à la plage. L'invention concerne un dispositif permettant de limiter les dépôts de sable sur la serviette de l'utilisateur en l'isolant et ayant une forme pouvant contenir de l'eau. Il est constitué d'une partie plane (1) pour poser une serviette de plage qui est encerclée par un rebord l'isolant du sable (2) dont l'une des faces latérale à une forme pouvant contenir de l'eau (3) afin que l'utilisateur se nettoie les pieds avant de s'installer sur sa serviette. Le dispositif selon l'invention est particulièrement destiné à un usage pratique qui limite la gêne occasionnée par le sable à la plage.
Abstract:
A wearable equipment carrier comprises a first receptacle for retaining a first set of equipment, a lower load bearing section, and an upper load stabilizing section. The lower load bearing section includes a belt for detachably securing the first receptacle to a lower abdominal region of a person. The belt is engaged with a middle portion of the first receptacle for transferring a majority of weight in the first receptacle through the belt to the lower abdominal region during a time that the belt is secured to the person. The upper load stabilizing section includes a first shoulder strap for orienting and laterally stabilizing the first receptacle substantially along a forward walking direction. The first shoulder strap has a forward end for engaging with a top portion of the first receptacle, and a distal end for engaging with a bottom portion of the first receptacle.
Abstract:
A spine protector for backpack includes an arcuate plastic board. At least one ventilation pore is set in the middle of the plastic board, and a pair of bilaterally symmetrical apertures through which a strap may pass are set at one end of the plastic board. On the opposite end from the strap apertures, a guiding aperture is set in the plastic board, while above the guiding aperture is set in the middle of the plastic board an adjusting aperture for adjusting strap length. The spine protector for backpack is combined tightly with the back of the pack body, and the two side straps of the backpack are passed through two strap apertures in the upper end of the plastic board respectively. Said two side straps are then sewn together to form a single strap that is then passed through the guiding aperture in the lower end of the plastic board and drawn out through the adjusting aperture. A flat spring at the edge of the adjusting aperture can clamp the backpack strap tightly, and by means of adjusting the length of the strap extending through the adjusting aperture, the length of strap in contact with the body can be adjusted quickly and conveniently.
Abstract:
A suspended-load backpack designed to permit the load to move relative to the wearer during walking and running so that the large movements between the load and the wearer of the backpack reduce the fluctuations of vertical motion of the load with respect to ground. Because the hip (and thus the pack body) goes up a down a good deal during walking, a large relative movement between the wearer and the load reduces the absolute excursion of the load. This movement may be, in turn, transferred to a motor through, for example, a rack and pinion gear, to convert the mechanical movement to electrical or mechanical energy. Such movement of the suspended-load relative to the wearer also reduces the forces on the wearer's body while walking or running, thus reducing the likelihood of orthopedic injury. The suspended-load backpack includes a suspension system having a first portion connected to shoulder straps directly or through an interface and a second portion connected to the pack body and a compliant mechanism that permits the second portion of the suspension system and the pack body to move up and down relative to the first portion of the suspension system in accordance with a gait of the wearer of the backpack.
