  • Patent number: 11311753
    Abstract: The invention relates to a carrying device, in particular a backpack (10), for an avalanche airbag system (12), which includes an airbag (14) and a filling device (16) for introducing at least one medium into the airbag (14). The airbag (14) brought into a stowage position is received in a container (18) if the avalanche airbag system (12) is coupled to the carrying device. The container (18) comprises a closure element (34). After opening the closure element (34), the container (18) can be brought from a closed position into an open position. The carrying device includes at least one spring element, which is tensioned if the container (18) is brought into the closed position, and by means of which bringing the container (18) from the closed position into the open position can be effected. The closure element (34) can be opened by actuating an actuating device (28), by means of which the filling device (16) can be brought into a triggered state.
