Abstract: Rollers are fastened to a chassis which is removably held to a bottom of a backpack by hook and loop fasteners. The rollers are on legs which are rotatably mounted at one end so the rollers can be moved from a first, compact position to a second, expanded position to provide better stability to the backpack which rests on the rollers. Another hook and loop area on the backpack can be used to store the rollers and chassis when they are removed from the bottom of the backpack.

Abstract: Apparatus and method for forming compound shaped surfaces. A skin conforming to the visual shape of the surface being formed is prepared from a blank sheet of material that is cut to size and includes any desired stamped-out detailing or notched edges or lines. Disposable strips of material are used to form hems in the skin. A preforming die is used to create tight bends or outer contours in the skin. A liner of the desired size and detailing is formed along with two-shaped side flanges. A plurality of ribs or silhouettes are provided and placed into the skin to form and maintain the desired final shape. The pre-formed liner is then assembled to the skin, the ribs being disposed between the liner and the skin.
