The backpack with inflatable cushions comprises a backpack, inflatable shoulder pads, and an inflatable lumbar support. The backpack may be adapted to be worn on a user's back, supported by a pair of shoulder straps, and may be operable to carry items within the backpack. Non-limiting examples of the items that may be carried within the backpack comprise school supplies, camping gear, sports equipment, and a change of clothing. The inflatable shoulder pads may be adapted to distribute the weight of the pair of shoulder straps over a larger area of a user's shoulders when the inflatable shoulder pads are inflated with air. The inflatable lumbar support may be adapted to fill the space between a user's lower back and the bottom of the backpack when inflated, thus promoting good posture and reducing back pain.

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.

Various systems and methods relate to an adaptive chair system having (i) a stowed mode in which the members of the chair frame are contained within a compact flexible multi-function bag (MFB), and (ii) a deployed mode in which the MFB is adapted to releasably couple to an arm of the chair to provide a multipurpose accessory chamber. In an illustrative example, the MFB may, for example, fold in on itself in an accessory mode. The MFB may provide various utilities for hikers, for example, by providing a case to receive an inflatable bladder so as to form a pillow. The MFB may receive a thermal liner adapted to maintain, for example, food or beverage temperature. Various embodiments may provide multifunctional services such as sun/rain canopy and footrest, for example, using the adaptive chair system in an ultralight form factor that is strong yet compact in the stowed mode.

The MFB may receive a thermal liner adapted to maintain, for example, food or beverage temperature. Various embodiments may advantageously provide a rugged, water resistant MFB system in an ultralight form factor that serves as a multi-purpose accessory (e.g., to store items), yet provides a compact, adaptive chair frame containment.

A device, method and system improve the breathable air quality of the environment in the region of a specific part of a body, such as around the mouth and nose area of a person buried in an avalanche. The device includes at least one inlet, at least one pump, at least one power resource, a controller, and at least one outlet. An inlet of the pump is constructed to act as a chamber. A first end of the chamber is connected to the inlet and a second end of the chamber is an opening towards the outside of the device. When the pump is activated, the pump will provide a vacuum in the chamber and suck air from the surroundings into the pump through the second end of the chamber and the chamber.

Example implementations relate to inflatable housing bladders. For instance, in an example a system can include a bladder to be disposed in a cavity defined by a housing, a sensor, and an inflation mechanism coupled to the bladder to inflate the bladder responsive to a signal from the sensor.

A bag provided with an expansion member, including: a bag body having a storage space formed therein; a cushion pocket forming a predetermined space inside the storage space of the bag body; and an expansion member which is accommodated in the cushion pocket, and of which the total volume is variable when air is injected or discharged through an injection portion.

Luggage having an integrated compression system where at least one vacuum compression bag is provided and secured within the interior space of the luggage. The bag can be compressed by an attached self-contained vacuum assembly removably secured within the luggage, preferably between the handle tube guides. The air outlet opening of the bag can be provided with a valve or coupling for securement to the air entry inlet of the vacuum assembly. The bag can also be removably secured to other areas within the interior of the luggage. An air outlet of the vacuum assembly can be provided with a valve or coupling for securement to an opening in the back wall of the luggage. Alternatively, the valve or coupling can be provided in the back wall opening. Air removed from the compression bag by the vacuum assembly is expelled through the back wall opening, without the use of any exposed hoses. This allows the oversized compression bag as compared to the size of the luggage and the contents stored within the bag to be able to safely contain within the fully closed luggage. The battery for powering the vacuum assembly can be removable while the luggage is fully closed and can also be used to charge other electronic devices.

A protective case is defined by inflatable panels and an inflatable top. When the panels of the protective case are inflated, they may protect an object (e.g., a camera, other photography equipment, a portable electronic device, etc.) that has been placed within a receptacle of the protective case from impacts on the protective case. The protective case may be used alone to carry the object, or it may be introduced into a bag (e.g., a backpack, a camera bag, etc.) that may in turn be carried by an individual. Methods for storing and transporting objects, such as photography equipment and portable electronic devices, are also disclosed.

A load-reducing massage backpack comprising the pack body and the back belt. An interlayer with an upper opening is arranged on the pack body against the back, an elastic fixed laminate is provided in the interlayer, the lower end of the fixed laminate is provided at the bottom of the interlayer and the upper end can extend out of the opening and is connected to the back belt, and the back of the pack body is against the waist and the massage apparatus. The present invention overcomes the defects existing in the prior backpack without massage function and in the prior massagers which only massage the waist, shoulder or back alone but cannot massage these positions simultaneously. An elastic fixed laminate is arranged on the backpack and a massage apparatus is disposed on the fixed laminate to massage the waist, shoulder and back. The massage apparatus is easy, flexible and can massage one or more positions simultaneously, support change of the massage position based on the user's demand, and be removed and used separately.
