The present invention relates to a system for user adjustable optical field of view alteration. The system includes a support member, an optical system, and an adjustment system. The support member releasably secures the system to a user's face, including a frame over the user's nose and two temples extending back from the frame over the user's ears. The optical system is positioned on the frame substantially in front of the user's eyes. The optical system displays an altered field of view to the user's eyes that is different that the direct field of view seen by the user. The adjustment system adjusts the altered field of view by rotating a portion of the optical system with respect to the support member about an axis of rotation.

The invention relates to an avalanche airbag system (10), which comprises an airbag (14) and a filling device (20) for introducing ambient air into the airbag (14). The filling device (20) comprises a fan (16) with an electric motor (18), a first electric energy storage (22, 40), a second electric energy storage configured as capacitor (24), and a control device (26) for actuating the electric motor (18). The control device (26) is configured to detect an activating of a standby mode of the filling device (20) and, depending on the activating of the standby mode, to effect a charging of the capacitor (24) with electric energy originating from the first energy storage (22, 40). Moreover, the invention relates to a carrying device comprising such an avalanche airbag system (10) as well as a method for operating such an avalanche airbag system (10).

A belay device (100) for braking and/or blocking at least one rope (10) comprising a main body (1) having at least two main walls (2, 3) arranged facing and spaced from one another so that to form a space between them is described. The at least one rope (10) is inserted inside the body (1) of the device in the space present between the two main walls (2, 3), each main wall further comprising an opening (8) defining a movement path (P) for at least one braking element (15) of the rope which is movable in said opening (8) between at least one non-blocking position of said at least one rope and at least one braking/blocking position of said at least one rope. The device further comprises at least one friction element or surface (12), said at least one rope (10) being arranged between said braking element (15) and said friction element or surface (12) when said braking element (15) is in said braking/blocking position of the rope. The device comprises at least one retaining element (150) configured to hold directly, and reversibly, said braking element (15) in said at least one non-blocking position of the rope along said movement path (P).

The invention relates to a carrying device, in particular a backpack (10), for an avalanche airbag system (12), which includes an airbag (14) and a filling device (16) for introducing at least one medium into the airbag (14). The airbag (14) brought into a stowage position is received in a container (18) if the avalanche airbag system (12) is coupled to the carrying device. The container (18) comprises a closure element (34). After opening the closure element (34), the container (18) can be brought from a closed position into an open position. The carrying device includes at least one spring element, which is tensioned if the container (18) is brought into the closed position, and by means of which bringing the container (18) from the closed position into the open position can be effected. The closure element (34) can be opened by actuating an actuating device (28), by means of which the filling device (16) can be brought into a triggered state. In the triggered state, the filling device (16) introduces the at least one medium into the airbag (14).
