Multi-Purpose Backpack

Abstract

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.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] In the following detailed description, for purposes of explanation, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the disclosed embodiments. It will be apparent, however, that one or more embodiments may be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, well-known structures and devices are schematically shown in order to simplify the drawing.

[0021] In order to achieve the aforesaid purposes, the utility model of this disclosure adopts the following schemes.

[0022] Viewed from the appearance, the backpack of this disclosure makes no difference to an ordinary backpack. A back sheet 1 of the backpack is designed to be a pad with a soft surface. By pulling down zippers at opposite sides of the backpack, the back sheet 1 can be pulled pivotally to a front side of the backpack, and used as a seat (FIG. 2).

[0023] By pulling up a handle 2 at a top portion of the backpack, a supporting structure can be pulled vertically up from a main body of the backpack. The supporting structure is consisted of at least three retractable pivotally posts: a first main supporting retractable post 4, a second main supporting retractable post 3 and a third main supporting retractable post 5. The second and third main supporting retractable posts 3, 5 can be expanded pivotally sideward (FIG. 3-4), while the first main supporting retractable post 4 can be expanded pivotally rearward (FIG. 3-4). A second half top bracket 6 of the top bracket can be pulled forward to expose a top bracket extension rod 7 from a first half top bracket of the top bracket. According to environmental conditions of the instant site, extending lengths and expanding angles of the supporting posts 8 can be adjusted to meet the most comfort state. In FIG. 3, sub-FIGS. 3-1, 3-2, 3-3 and 3-4 demonstrate different stages of the supporting posts 8 after being pulled from the main body. In a final stage shown in sub-FIG. 3-4, the supporting posts 8 are expanded and turned into a stable triangular supporting structure having a top rectangular bracket and three legs able to stand on a ground (FIG. 3-4).

[0024] After the triangular supporting structure is set on the ground, two seat supporting links 9 of the soft seat 1 are pulled to connect the second and third main supporting retractable posts 3, 5 (FIG. 4-1), so as to secure the seat to the triangular supporting structure. Thereupon, the seat is now ready for carrying a user.

[0025] A neck bracket 12 is normally stored inside the main body of the backpack (FIG. 4-3). While in use, at least one neck bracket supporting link 10 is pulled to connect the top bracket extension rod 7 of the top bracket (FIG. 4-2), such that the neck bracket 12 can be secured. According to different needs, the neck bracket supporting link 10 of the neck bracket 12 can be left around a user neck, and not to connect the top bracket extension rod 7. In this embodiment, the neck bracket 12 has an adjustable height. A middle expandable section 14 of the neck bracket 12 can be folded and expanded to meet different user needs (FIG. 4-4, DIF. 4-5). Two opposite adjustable neck supporting rods 13 are provided externally to opposite sides of the neck bracket 12. With the neck supporting rods 13 to provide better support upon user's lower jaw, the neck bracket 12 can reduce swinging of user head, and thus use comfort can be promoted (FIG. 4-4, FIG. 4-5, FIG. 4-6). Simultaneously, connecting ropes 11 can be applied in a cross manner to connect the top bracket extension rod 7 and back straps of the backpack, and thus an additional support for resting user head can be provided to increase the user comfort (FIG. 4-2).

[0026] After the supporting posts, the seat and the neck bracket are settled, FIG. 5 demonstrates various applications of this disclosure. First, in a situation having no seat available, the three supporting posts can be retracted and expanded completely to form a stable triangular structure, then the user can sit on the seat with the neck bracket on and adjusted to an appropriate neck height, and thus the user can relax to rest on the seat (FIG. 5-1 and FIG. 5-2). In another situation having the chair, the second and third main supporting retractable posts can be completely expanded, the first main supporting retractable post can be pulled to touch the chair, and the soft seat can be directly turned to place on the chair without any connection to the supporting posts, such that the user can rest on the chair with the neck bracket on and adjusted to an appropriate neck height (FIG. 5-3, FIG. 5-4). Of course, the neck bracket of this disclosure can be used independently. In any situation of neck discomfort, the neck bracket can be solely used to relax the head and the neck of the user.

[0027] With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by the present disclosure.
