An illuminated backpack assembly includes a backpack that is wearable on a user's back. A plurality of light strips is each attached to the backpack to emit light outwardly from the backpack. Each of the light strips is strategically positioned on the backpack for enhancing visibility of the backpack in a darkened environment to facilitate the user to be visually identified by a companion from a distance in the darkened environment. A communication unit is integrated into the backpack and the communication unit is in remote communication with a personal electronic device. The communication unit is in communication with each of the light strips and the communication unit downloads an operational subroutine from the personal electronic device. In this way the light strips can be actuated according to the operational subroutine to enhance the ornamental appearance of the backpack.

The invention relates to an interactive backpack comprising a backpack body which in turn includes a figure of a character, the backpack also comprising: audio means for recording and reproducing sound; a movable part; mechanical means for moving the movable part; and control means comprising an actuator disposed in a position on the body of the backpack which is linked to the figure of the character, the actuator being configured to initiate sound recording and automatic reproduction of the recorded sound.

An apparel accessory such as a bag, a backpack or a case, in particular for children or young people, consists of a containing body (11), an outer wall (14) which has at least one decorated outer surface (15) and arranged therein a foil made of decorative magnetic or ferromagnetic material (18) and a plurality of magnetic or ferromagnetic elements (20) associable with the decorated outer surface (15) in a removable and movable manner. The decorative elements (20) are in relation of style and/or subject with the setting graphic (16) reproduced on the outer surface (15) and thus allow an interactive and highly customizable decoration mode of the bag, backpack or case.

BACKPACK, wherein the backpack (1) is a model (1A) intended for children or a model (1B) intended for young people or adults, in both cases the main body (2) of the backpack (1) receives a removable and replaceable front portion (5), which presents, in the case of model (1A) for children, a distinctive and differentiated visual configuration (12) that may have children's themes; the removable and replaceable front portion (5), in the case of model (1B), presents a configuration (20) of patterns and/or composition of compartments (21); the removable and replaceable front portion (5) is secured to the main body (2) by means of an perimeter and integral fastener (7) which allows the complete separation of the removable and replaceable front portion (5) from the main body (2) of the backpack (1), such removable and replaceable front portion (5) being interchangeable by another model of removable and replaceable front portion (5) with another theme, in the case of model (1A), or another configuration (20) of patterns and/or composition of compartments (21), in the case of model (1B).

A backpack assembly having shoulder straps and a character that is affixed to the backpack. The character has at least one externally visible feature that can be selectively moved between a first position and a second position. The movement of the feature is performed by an actuator that is built into the character. The actuator operates to move the character's features when activated by the person wearing the backpack. A manually operated controller is positioned on at least one of the shoulder straps. A control umbilical interconnects the manually operated controller to the actuator. The control umbilical, in the form of a pneumatic tube or a mechanical cable, is directed through the shoulder strap, across the bag, and to the actuators in the character.

An illustrated view of an exemplary backpack for providing alerts and notification of specific events and information. The backpack is useful for providing an alert or notification to a user of the backpack of important items to remember to take at the end of a day. The backpack is also useful for reminders to eat, hydrate and directions for hikers and/or backpackers. Further the backpack is useful setting reminders for various events and thus removing the need for an additional reminder device. The backpack has an electronic system that can alert the user of the various events and activities further, the electronic system is coupled to an external light to visibly alert the user. The electronic system may further alert the user by audio voice or sounds.

A carrying bag with a water resistant Velcro outer case and an activated carbon inner liner provides an odor proof capability. The Velcro outer surface provides for user selected placement of one or more removable patch attachments.

The carry bag may include one or more carry handles and one or more shoulder straps.

An improved system and device combining a vest and backpack for carrying an eternal feeding tube, pump, and nutritional supplements, particularly for children who are mobile but too small for a standard backpack. This vestpack includes straps and chest panels which cooperate for customizable fit to accommodate varying body sizes and treatment demands. The pack fits snuggly and securely holds the stored items against the child's upper torso but vertically spaced from the stoma port, thereby reducing interference and risk of ER visits to have ports reinserted. The straps and chest panels disengage from one another to permit quick and complete removal under any conditions. Transport components of the device include a hanger, milk pouch, tube restraint, and a pump pocket. Caregivers retain access to all functionality of the feeding system even while they are onboard, allowing convenient, everyday use and milk refills even while the backpack is worn.

The handle attached to the back panel allows the user to carry the handbag in one's hand or worn in the crook of the elbow. A method of converting the strap from a backpack configuration to an over the shoulder configuration is provided comprising holding the strap at a center section and releasing the handbag to extend a length of the strap for an over a shoulder or a cross-body carrying setting.
