FIELD OF THE DISCLOSUREThis disclosure relates to backpacks, and more particularly, to a modular backpack system.
BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSUREBackpacks are useful for carrying a variety of items. For example, backpacks can be used to carry work items such as laptops and necessary power cords, as well as travel items such as clothing and toiletries. When traveling, a large capacity backpack may be necessary to store enough items for the duration of the trip. Depending on the occasion, however, it can be useful to have a small capacity backpack that only stores necessary items for a shorter period. For instance, a user may want to use a smaller capacity backpack for a short trip to a coffee shop, or to carry essential items the user intends to use for a day trip. Thus, it can be desirable to have both a large capacity and a small capacity backpack as necessary for a given use.
For obvious reasons, it can be difficult to use a small capacity backpack to store a large number of items. When using a large capacity backpack to store a number of small items only a short period or occasion, however, the large capacity backpack can be unseemly and add unnecessary bulk and weight. Additionally, if a user were to use a large backpack capacity backpack when traveling but desire to only carry a few items from that backpack on a given day, the user must entirely unpack all of the other items, and then re-pack them at a later time. Rather than carry two backpacks of varying sizes, ideally, the user would carry one backpack but be able to easily and quickly customize that backpack to be either large capacity or smaller capacity based on the occasion.
SUMMARY OF THE DISCLOSUREPresented herein is a modular backpack system that enables the user to customize the number and type of modules as needed. To customize the modular backpack, the user need only to unzip the modules, select the desired configuration, and zip those desired modules together.

It will be appreciated that any of the variations, aspects, features and options described in view of the systems can be combined.
Additional advantages will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art from the following detailed description. The aspects and descriptions herein are to be regarded as illustrative in nature and not restrictive.
All publications, including patent documents, scientific articles and databases, referred to in this application are incorporated by reference in their entirety for all purposes to the same extent as if each individual publication were individually incorporated by reference. If a definition set forth herein is contrary to or otherwise inconsistent with a definition set forth in the patents, applications, published applications and other publications that are herein incorporated by reference, the definition set forth herein prevails over the definition that is incorporated herein by reference.
The invention will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
Reference will now be made in detail to implementations and embodiments of various aspects and variations of systems and methods described herein. Although several exemplary variations of the systems and methods are described herein, other variations of the systems and methods may include aspects of the systems and methods described herein combined in any suitable manner having combinations of all or some of the aspects described.
In the following description of the various embodiments, it is to be understood that the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” used in the following description are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It is also to be understood that the term “and/or” as used herein refers to and encompasses any and all possible combinations of one or more of the associated listed items. It is further to be understood that the terms “includes, “including,” “comprises,” and/or “comprising,” when used herein, specify the presence of stated features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, and/or units but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, units, and/or groups thereof.
Backpacks are useful objects for a variety of purposes. Features that are desirable in one setting, however, may be less desirable or entirely unnecessary in others. For example, a large capacity backpack can be useful when storing large items or numerous smaller items. However, a fully-utilized large capacity backpack, i.e., one that is packed to maximum capacity, may be relatively heavy and cumbersome to carry for extended periods. Thus, a smaller capacity backpack, which is likely lighter and easier to carry than a large capacity backpack, may be desirable in certain instances.
Rather than having a dedicated backpack for each type of setting, a modular backpack system that enables a user to customize their backpack as necessary can strike a balance between capacity and weight (as an example). In one or more examples, a backpack that can be configured and reconfigured to match the circumstances as needed can allow the user to match the capacity of the backpack to their needs without having to purchase separate backpacks for each possible need. In one or more examples, and as described in further detail below, a backpack can be configured to be “modular” to allow the user to tailor the backpack for a particular use. In one or more examples, the modular backpack system can have a number of modules each compatible with one another that can increase or decrease the capacity of the backpack according to the user's requirements. Moreover, a modular backpack system that facilitates quickly and easily adding or removing modules would enable the user to have a single backpack that can be used in every setting simply by adding or removing modules as necessary. In one or more examples, by reducing the weight of the backpack when certain modules aren't needed, the user can strike a balance between weight and capacity based on their current needs and the specific context that the bag is to be used in.
Accordingly, disclosed herein is a modular backpack system for creating a customized modular backpack. A modular backpack can be assembled by attaching appropriate modules of the modular backpack system to one another to form a modular backpack. For instance, a modular backpack can include a front module that is attached to a back module, with the back module including shoulder straps such that the user can wear the backpack.
The modules of the modular backpack system can be compatible with one another such that modules can be connected to one another as necessary. A user could connect just a front and back module to one another, or could include any number of center modules that are located between the front and back modules. To connect the modules, the user can rely on any suitable attachment element that enables a user to quickly and efficiently add or remove modules as necessary. For instance, the attachment elements could include zippers, Velcro, buttons, hooks, buckles, stud buttons, magnets, etc.
The back modules that are compatible with the modular backpack system can include a ballistics pocket for storing a protective ballistics plate. The ballistics plate can be positioned in a storage position, such as in a pocket of a back module, or in a deployed position, where the ballistics plate covers the torso of the wearer of the backpack. When in the deployed position, the ballistics plate can be connected to the back module of the modular backpack via a suitable attachment element, such as by a zipper, hooks, etc. The ballistics plate may include a separate set of shoulder straps that can rest on top of the shoulder straps of the back module when the ballistics plate is deployed.
The center modules that are compatible with the modular backpack system can include a variety of access elements that permit the wearer to access the interior of the module (and thus the contents of the modular backpack). For instance, a center module can include side access panels that are accessible when the center module is mounted on a modular backpack. In one or more examples, a center module can include a top access panel that is only accessible when the center module is not mounted on a modular backpack. In one or more examples, the center modules can be compatible with additional modules that can be affixed to or inserted into the center module. For instance, the modular backpack system can include additional interior modules that fit within a given center module. The modular backpack system can include panels that provide secure pockets that can be releasably closed, loops, open pockets, etc. such that a user can further customize their modular backpack.
The front modules that are compatible with the modular backpack system can include a variety of attachment elements that can mount additional modular items to the modular backpack. For instance, a front module can include attachment elements that permit the user to attach modular pockets to the front module. A front module can include hooks or other attachment elements that permit the user to attach a net or other containment element to the front of the modular backpack. In one or more examples, a front module can provide a hard shell formed via a manufacturing process such as compression molding that provides a protective cover for the modular backpack.
In one or more examples, to connect the modules of the modular backpack 101, a user can use a zipper at both the front zipper 103 and back zipper 105 to zip the modules together. For example, when assembling the modular backpack 101, the user can zip the center module 104 to the back module 106 at the back zipper 105, and then zip the front module 102 to the center module 104 at the front zipper 103.
In one or more examples, the modular backpack 101 can include any number of center modules. For instance, if a user desired to use two center modules, they could add an additional center module connected to the center module 104 on one side of the center module 104 adjacent to either the front module 102 or to the back module 106, depending on which side of the center module 104 the additional center module is connected to. For example, if a user connected the center module 104 to the back module 106 at the back zipper 105, the user could then connect an additional center module to the front of the center module 104, and in turn connect the additional center module to the front module 102.
In one or more examples, the modular backpack system 100 can include a variety of center modules with varying features, such as different configurations of handles and/or access panels, a variety of front modules with varying features, and a variety of back modules with varying features, with each of the different modules sharing compatible interface features such that the modules can be affixed to one another when combining them into a backpack. As shown in
In one or more examples, the modular backpack 101 can include a variety of attachment elements at a single attachment interface. For example, the modular backpack 101 can include magnets on adjacent modules that facilitate connecting the modules together by ensuring they are properly aligned before the modules are affixed by another attachment element. For example, the center module 104 and the back module 106 could each include opposing magnets that when brought close together temporarily hold the center module 104 and the back module 106 in the appropriate position relative to one another such that the modules can be zipped together via a zipper at the back zipper 105.
In one or more examples, and as shown in
In one or more examples, the lumbar support pads 210 can be located such that they provide support for the user of a modular backpack that includes the segmented lumbar back module 200. The lumbar support pads 210 can be constructed via a suitable material that provides cushioning for the user when wearing a modular backpack that includes the segmented lumbar back module 200. For example, the lumbar support pads 210 can include a mesh material that encapsulates a foam material to provide extra cushioning to the lumbar support pads.
In one or more examples, the lumbar back module 200 can include an armor plate that is stored in a plate pocket 212 when not deployed. The plate pocket 212 can occupy the space adjacent to the lumbar support pads 210 such that when an armor plate is stored in the plate pocket 212, it is located behind the lumbar support pads 210 and does not take up storage space elsewhere. In one or more examples, the armor plate could be stored within a center module of a modular backpack. However, by storing the armor plate in a center module, the armor plate consumes space that could otherwise be used for storing items. Accordingly, by located the armor plate in a plate pocket such as the plate pocket 212 in a back module such as the lumbar back module 200, the armored plate will not use up storage space inside the backpack. The armor plate can be constructed of a material suitable for protecting the user from ballistics such that the armor plate acts as a ballistic shield, as will be discussed further below.
The straps 208 of the segmented lumbar back module 200 can be constructed of one or more suitable materials that ensure the straps 208 are strong enough to support a substantial amount of weight should the segmented lumbar back module 200 be incorporated into a modular backpack, yet do not add a substantial amount of weight to the modular backpack itself. In one or more examples, the straps 208 can include padding material such that the straps 208 are more comfortable to the user when wearing a modular backpack that includes the segmented lumbar back module 200. In one or more examples, the straps 208 can be adjustable. The straps 208 can include one or more tensionlocks 214 that enable the user to adjust the length of the straps 208 as needed. In one or more examples, the straps 208 can include an additional chest strap that spans between the two straps 208 that can be secured to provide additional security and stability for a modular backpack that includes the segmented lumbar back module 200.
