  • Patent number: 6637631
    Abstract: A knapsack has a bag, a strap assembly for attaching the bag to the shoulders of a user, a belt assembly for attaching the bag around the waist of a user and a fastening system for fastening the strap assembly and/or the belt assembly to the back of the bag. The fastening system has a first piece secured to the strap assembly and/or the belt assembly and a second piece secured to the back of the back. The first and second pieces co-operate with each other to enable the first and second pieces to be fastened together and pivot mutually about an axis perpendicular to the back of the bag. The fastening system has at least one elastomer element secured to one of the pieces and the other piece has a portion that causes the elastomer element to be deformed during pivoting, thereby opposing the pivotal movement.

  • Patent number: 6003800
    Abstract: The fishing reel comprises a spool for winding in fishing line and a fixed support having an axis of rotation for said spool. The fixed support comprises an upright which is in the immediate vicinity of and parallel to one of the lateral cheekplates of the spool; projecting studs are disposed on the inside face of the upright in a radial distribution around the axis of rotation; the lateral cheekplate of the spool facing the upright includes a recessed annular portion serving to house the studs. One or more radially-extending blades are formed in the cheekplate and project into the recessed annular portion so that on rotation of the spool, each blade emits a characteristic clicking noise when its free end is raised by passing over a stud and falls back against the upright of the fixed support.
