Abstract: The present invention relates to a backpack that has a reinforcement (1) arranged, at least in the central portion (11), in the half-thickness (Ep) which includes the front surface (101). The front surface (101) is positioned opposite the rear surface (100) which is adapted to be positioned on the user's back. The backpack also has a compression system (20) which, at least in the central portion (112), tends to press the rear surface (100) towards the reinforcement (1).

Abstract: A self-contained diving unit to be refilled by a manual pump making possible to compress gas in a tank. The pump is integrated into the diving unit. The diving unit can also include an outer case that encloses the tank in particular In addition, the pump is positioned within the outer case of the diving unit and outside the tank.

Abstract: A flexible fastening element fixed to a carrying bag, such as a backpack, and which includes a hooking zone to which an attached element can be fixed by a hooking means such as a snap hook. The invention is characterized in that the hooking zone is filiform and has a preferably circular cross-section.

Abstract: A release binding for telemark skiing, back country skiing, and ski jumping. An elastic return device maintains the front portion of the sole between a release abutment and particularly enables a lateral or diagonal disengagement of the boot, under a substantial torsional force, a rear element taking support on an insert located in the sole.
