Multi-Component Backpack

Abstract

A multi-component backpack comprising a first storage component and a second storage component, wherein the first, second or both components are insulated.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A multi-component backpack, comprising:
 a first storage component; and   a second storage component;   wherein the first storage component and the second storage component are detachably coupled, and where the first, second, or both components are insulated.   
     
     
         2 . The multi-component backpack of  claim 1 , wherein insulation comprises vinyl laminated with aluminized mylar, neoprene, a polyethylene terephthalate insulator, reflective metal insulation, a synthetic fiber thermal insulator, or combinations thereof. 
     
     
         3 . The multi-component backpack of  claim 1 , wherein the first, second or both components further comprise at least one of: a shoulder strap, a handle, a waist band, or any combination thereof. 
     
     
         4 . The multi-component backpack of  claim 1 , further comprising at least a third detachable storage component. 
     
     
         5 . The multi-component backpack of  claim 4 , wherein the third detachable storage component is configured to store a mobile electronic device. 
     
     
         6 . The multi-component backpack of  claim 1 , wherein the first, second or both components comprise: nylon, vinyl, polyester, canvas, cotton, wool, leather, denim, corduroy, or combinations thereof. 
     
     
         7 . The multi-component backpack of  claim 1 , wherein the coupling of the first and second components comprises: a strap, a buckle, a clip, hook and loop strips, a button, a snap, a zipper, a magnet, or combinations thereof. 
     
     
         8 . The multi-component backpack of  claim 1 , wherein the second component further comprises a hard liner configured for support. 
     
     
         9 . A system for identifying an incomplete multi-component backpack, comprising:
 a first storage component containing at least one accessible compartment;   an indicator, wherein the indicator indicates the incomplete multi-component backpack; and   a second storage component, wherein decoupling of the second storage component causes expression of the indicator.   
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 9 , wherein the indicator is a color. 
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 9 , wherein the indicator is configured to express an audible tone. 
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the indicator comprises an electronic device. 
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 9 , wherein the indicator comprises an image exposed by the detachment of the second storage component from the first storage component. 
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 9 , wherein detachment of the second storage component from the first storage component yields an incomplete image. 
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 14 , wherein the image is one of: a nature scene, a television character, a cityscape, a painting, a person, an animal, a mechanical device, a tool, a game, a book, or a mythological character. 
     
     
         16 . A method of manufacturing a multi-component backpack, comprising:
 providing an indicator, wherein the indicator is configured to indicate the incomplete multi-component backpack; and   fabricating the multi-component backpack, wherein the multi-component backpack comprises a first storage component and a second storage component such that the first and second storage components are detachably coupled and detachment of the second storage component causes expression of the indicator.   
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 16 , wherein the indicator is a color. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 16 , wherein the indicator is an image exposed by the detachment of the second storage component from the first storage component. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 16 , wherein detachment of the second storage component from the first storage component yields an incomplete image. 
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 19 , wherein the image is one of: a nature scene, a television character, a cityscape, a painting, a person, an animal, a mechanical device, a tool, a game, a book, or a mythological character.
