A backpack (11) provides a protective utility vestment including a panel of armor material fully stored beneath the openable cover (22) an anterior chamber within the backpack, obscuring its existence. A pair of hand-graspable pull-tabs (31) connected to opposite lateral sides of the vestment allow rapid deployment of the vestment over the user's head and into position on the user's chest. The pull-tabs can be obscured on the shoulder supports (14,15) of the backpack until used. Decoy bands (43) on the shoulder supports can further enhance the obscuring effect. The pull-tabs can secure to the hip support pads (16,17) to further secure the vestment on the user's chest. A bottom deployed utility caddy can be stowed within a hidden medial compartment.

The invention relates to an outdoor backpack with a dual use. The backpack can be used as a front part of the backpack and a back part of the backpack. The backpack includes a hood that can be used as a backpack cover. A sleeve is of a width such that the backpack can be placed in a folding tent. The lower parts of the clothing can be connected together to form a connector for the bottom of the backpack, and/or can be used as an ornament on the bottom of the backpack. A second ornament is used as a belt of the backpack. Thus, the invention provides clothes that are designed to be changed into a backpack. One can go out in the morning wearing clothes which may become a backpack and carried on the shoulders in case the weather turns warm.

A portable seat, comprising an internal frame; a cover; and one or more hook assemblies; wherein said internal frame is encased by said cover; wherein said one or more hook assemblies comprise a hook, biasing element, and anchoring element; wherein said one or more hook assemblies engage said internal frame at an engagement area via said anchoring elements; wherein said cover comprises one or more holes through which said one or more hooks protrude; wherein said biasing elements applies a force to said hooks such that said hooks pivot at said engagement area and said hooks rest against said cover; wherein said one or more holes are not configured to be sealed; and wherein said hooks are configured to engage a front surface of a bench by pivoting away from said cover and extending orthogonally relative to said cover.

A two-piece hinged hard shell plastic frame includes a set of shoulder straps. Additionally, the backpack includes a pair of triangle shaped wheels for climbing stairs and a retractable pull handle. A concave back plate structure is positioned on the rear of the backpack for conforming to a person's back. A concave head rest portion is also included on the top end of the backpack which provides a comfortable resting area for a user's head. Furthermore, multiple mesh net style pockets on the exterior of the case for holding various items is provided.

Implementations of a backpack that can be converted into a protective vest are provided. In a first configuration, the backpack may be used to store and transport items. When confronted with an imminent threat (e.g., an active shooter), the backpack can be converted to a second configuration that serves as a protective vest configured to provide ballistic protection for the wearer's chest and back (i.e., body armor). The backpack does not need to be removed from the wearer's torso when being converted to the protective vest configuration. The protective vest contains at least one ballistic armor insert in both the front and rear panel sections thereof. The backpack includes a container that is detachable therefrom. This detachable container may include an internal pocket that contains at least one ballistic armor insert and enarme that allow the detachable container to be used as a shield.

A chair with armrest connectors includes a backrest, a seat, a pair of armrests, and a supporting frame configured to move the chair between a folded configuration and a deployed configuration. A pair of connectors are secured within cavities disposed on an upper surface of each armrest. The connectors are configured to move between a deployed position extending outwardly from the cavities and a retracted position within the cavities. When deployed, the connectors are configured to removably secure to a supporting frame of a second chair. This allows for multiple chairs to be secured to each other when in a folded configuration. The chair includes adjustable shoulder straps that allow an individual to easily carry the assembly of attached folded chairs supported against the individual's back. The chair may also include additional fasteners or connection mechanisms for supporting additional items against the front side of the individual for improved weight distribution.

A sand training bag for sand and/or mineral training in an open and closed configuration. The sand pit training bags includes a sand pit training bag configuration comprising at least one fastener and at least one overlaying fabric around the perimeter to open flat on a surface. The sand training bag includes attachable wall structure, wherein the surface attachable wall structure is configured with a sand pit training bag in an open configuration visible relative to a sand or mineral pit held by one or more fasteners. The sand training bag includes a single sand pit training bag, wherein the single sand pit training bag is convertible to a single sand pit with at least one attachable perimeter wall around the perimeter of the open sand or mineral receiving surface configuration, wherein a top cover is configured to be viewed as a sand or mineral pit closed configuration.

A frame for a collapsible and deployable backpack can include a plurality of struts and straps configured for carrying luggage. The struts can be attachable to form a backpack frame. The straps can be attachable to the struts for wearability. The luggage can be in the form of two or more independent pieces of luggage attachable to the frame, for example, two or more pannier bags. The frame can include upright struts bent into a bowed configuration. The bowed struts can be oriented in a splayed apart configuration to provide racking resistance. In a collapsed configuration, the backpack can have an overall width that is less than a pedal width of a bicycle, and optionally less than a width of a suspension portion of a bicycle.
