A multi-purpose backpack that can help a user to rest has an appearance showing no difference with an ordinary backpack. A handle can be pulled to retrieve a retractable supporting structure up away from the backpack. The supporting structure can be fully expanded to form a stable triangular supporting device. A back sheet of the backpack can be turned pivotally to a front of the backpack for forming a soft seat. The soft seat can be connected with the supporting structure so as to form a seat without any foreign support. A neck bracket can be hanged and secured to the supporting structure. Thereupon, the multi-purpose backpack that helps the user to rest is fully expanded and set. By providing the multi-purpose backpack, people can rest anywhere and anytime at no need of any additional device.

A modular seating system is provided having one or more seat units that are connectable to each other by connection plates. The seat units include first connector components for connection to back units and/or arm units. The back units and arm units include second connector components configured to cooperate with the first connector components. The arm units are provided with two sets of the second connector components for connecting to the seat unit in a first position or a second position different than the first position. The first and second connector components are in the form of a rail and C-shaped bracket that can slide over the rail.

A kit for converting a crutch to a cane, table, or bench is disclosed. The kit includes a crutch, a picker, a tabletop panel, a foot pad, and a seat cushion. The crutch includes an upper section connected to a middle section by a first pivot and a lower section connected to the middle section by a second pivot. The first pivot and the second pivot orient the sections of crutch to position the crutch in an upright crutch configuration, a table configuration, a cane configuration, or a bench configuration. The picker attaches to the upper section when the crutch is in the table configuration. The foot pad attaches to the picker to stabilize the picker upright. The tabletop panel attaches to the upper section when the crutch is in the table configuration. The seat cushion attaches to the lower section when the crutch is in the bench configuration.

Inflatable coveralls provide individuals, who fall frequently, with protection and independence. The coveralls consist of pads on the shoulders and hips to reduce the impact of a fall on the person. When worn and located underneath the fallen person, the coveralls can be inflated with air into a chair, creating a higher platform from which the person can more easily get up. This reduces the dependence these individuals have on a caregiver. Users can fasten the coveralls using hook & loop or magnets, instead of buttons or zippers, because it is easier to wear and they automatically open from the increase in air pressure of the inflated coveralls. Made of lightweight and air-impermeable material, the inflatable coveralls pads the fall of individual and elevated the fallen individual so that they can more easily rise, allowing them to gain independence.

A convertible cupholder device that is configured to have a cupholder element of the device be selectively rotated and/or otherwise be moved between a variety of positions is described. As a result of its construction, when the convertible cupholder is coupled to a movable object (e.g., a pivoting member of a convertible bench), the cupholder element can be moved to and/or be retained in one or more desired positions (e.g., an upright position) when the movable object is pivoted and/or otherwise moved through a range of motion. Other implementations are described.
