A folding chair including holders for stacking and connection of multiple chairs to each other is provided. Each folding chair includes a back support member pivotally connected to a seat member, front and rear leg frames pivotally connected proximal to front ends and rear ends of opposing side bars of the seat member, respectively, and arm rests pivotally connected to opposing side bars of the back support member. The folding chair includes one or more first and second holders operably attached to the back support member and the rear leg frame, respectively. Using the first and second holders, the folding chair is connectable to another folding chair and in turn to another folding chair(s) to form a connected stack of folding chairs that can be carried and transported by a user.

A personal covering and storage system comprising a bag coupled to a main strap to selectively secure the bag to a user, the bag having a pocket and a bag connector. A canopy shield detachably connected to the bag at the bag connector, the canopy shield comprising a central section supported by one or more internal primary supports, and at least one peripheral section. The canopy shield can be folded and stored in the pocket. One or more connection points wherein the canopy shield is attached to the bag by the connection points wherein the canopy shield can be folded and stored in the bag.

A bag with an integral bottle cap opener includes a body, multiple straps, a pair of buckle components, and a strap size adjuster. A first strap having the first buckle component extends from a first edge of the body and a second strap extends from a second edge of the body. A third strap connected to the second strap has the second buckle component at the opposite end and has the strap size adjuster therebetween. The bottle cap opener has a first slot adjacent to a first side and a second slot adjacent to an opposite side with an aperture therebetween. A border protrudes into the aperture. The first slot is joined to the first strap, the second strap, or the third strap. The bottle cap opener is effective to grasp a bottle cap. The first buckle component is couplable to the second buckle component.

A method and apparatus for transporting a wheeled case, such as an article of luggage, utilizing a belt with a connector positioned below the equator of the belt to secure the wheeled case to the user's back is provided. The apparatus may connect the handle of the wheeled case to the user's back and may allow the user to maneuver the wheeled case behind his or herself without further use of their hands.

An embodiment personal item management apparatus includes a wearable band having a fixed circumference that defines a first outer diameter; and a clasp coupled to the wearable band, the clasp having a second outer diameter that is less than the first outer diameter and being adapted to couple a personal item to the wearable band. In an exemplary embodiment, the ratio of the second outer diameter to the first outer diameter is about 0.4.

A dual-configuration chair and backpack having at least one storage compartment with a back panel and a bottom panel held in rigid orientation to each other at a predetermined angle by an integral tubular frame having a two generally U-shaped frame portions fixed at the selected angle. A deployable seat is rotatably affixed to a lower edge of the back panel and includes a flat foam cushion formed at an angle complementary to the angle between the back and bottom panels of the backpack. When used as a seat the flat serves as a cushion under the buttocks of the user. When used as a backpack the flat is rotated up to the back panel such that the complementary angles position the cushion for proper lumbar and back support of the backpack load.

A lacing system configured to selectively adjust the size of an opening on an object and allow for the incremental release of the lace within the lacing system. The lacing system can have a reel comprising a housing, a spool supported by the housing, and a knob supported by the housing. The reel can be configured so that cable is gathered in the channel formed in the spool when the spool is rotated in a first direction relative to the housing, and so that cable can be incrementally released from the spool when the spool is rotated in a second direction relative to the housing. In some embodiments, the reel can include a rotation limiter which can be configured to prevent over-tightening of the lacing system and/or to prevent rotation past the substantially fully loosened state.

A backpack with an inflatable element, designed to facilitate comfort during transport. One of the aims of the backpack is to allow objects and/or elements to be placed therein. The backpack also has an integrated inflatable element that acts as a seat for a child, wherein the child sits on said element, on the shoulders of the user of the backpack. In addition, the backpack has a pair of harnesses that can be removed from straps, used to securely surround the legs and/or ankles of the child. When the backpack is placed in front of the user's torso, the inflatable element also allows the user to rest his/her head and, at the same time, the user can rest his/her arms by placing them in a hollow structure located at the front of the backpack, preferably as part of the configuration of an exterior bag.
