Backpack security system

Abstract

A backpack security system helps prevent unauthorized access to the contents of a backpack through the use of a concealed mount fastener, and a visible decoy exposed fastener that actuates an alert signal when the decoy exposed fastener is manipulated. The mount fastener positions between a wearer and the backpack, such that access to the mount fastener is not visible and inaccessible while mounted to the back of the wearer. The decoy exposed fastener operatively connects to an alarm device. The alarm device transmits both audible signals and wireless silent signals to alert to unauthorized manipulation of the backpack. The audible signal is transmitted when the decoy exposed fastener is manipulated. The silent signal is wirelessly transmitted to a wearer and/or a remote receiver when the decoy exposed fastener is manipulated.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A backpack security system for preventing unauthorized manipulation of a backpack, the system comprises:
 a backpack, the backpack comprising a mount panel, an exposed panel, a base panel, a pair of side panels, and a cavity formed within the panels;   at least one mount fastener, the at least one mount fastener disposed on the mount panel, the at least one mount fastener configured to open and close for regulating access to the cavity of the backpack;   at least one decoy exposed fastener, the at least one decoy exposed fastener disposed on the exposed panel, the at least one decoy exposed fastener configured to be visible from the exposed panel, the at least one decoy exposed fastener comprising a trigger; and   an alarm device, the alarm device configured to be operatively connected to the trigger of the at least one decoy exposed fastener, the alarm device configured to transmit a signal when the trigger is manipulated, wherein manipulation of the at least one decoy exposed fastener actuates the trigger for transmitting the signal, and wherein manipulation of the at least one mount fastener regulates access to the cavity of the backpack.   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the mount panel of the backpack is configured to be mounted on the back of a wearer through a pair of shoulder straps. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 2 , wherein the at least one mount fastener is disposed between the back of the wearer and the mount panel while the backpack is mounted. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 3 , wherein the at least one mount fastener is an operable zipper. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 4 , wherein the at least one decoy exposed fastener is a decoy zipper. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 5 , wherein the at least one decoy exposed fastener comprises a tab and a plurality of teeth. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 6 , wherein the trigger is integrated into the tab. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 7 , further including a speaker, the speaker configured to operatively connect to the trigger. 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein the speaker is configured to transmit an audible signal. 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 9 , wherein the audible signal includes at least one member selected from the group consisting of: a siren, a beep, a human voice, a light, and a ring tone. 
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 10 , further including a transmitter, the transmitter configured to operatively connect to the trigger. 
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the transmitter is configured to transmit a silent signal to a wearer and/or a remote receiver. 
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 12 , wherein the transmitter includes at least one member selected from the group consisting of: Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and satellite. 
     
     
         14 . A backpack security system for preventing unauthorized manipulation of a backpack, the system comprises:
 a backpack, the backpack comprising a mount panel, an exposed panel, a base panel, a pair of side panels, and a cavity formed within the panels;   at least one mount fastener, the at least one mount fastener disposed on the mount panel, the at least one mount fastener configured to open and close for regulating access to the cavity of the backpack;   at least one decoy exposed fastener, the at least one decoy exposed fastener disposed on the exposed panel, the at least one decoy exposed fastener configured to be visible from the exposed panel, the at least one decoy exposed fastener comprising a trigger;   an alarm device, the alarm device configured to be operatively connected to the trigger of the at least one decoy exposed fastener, the alarm device configured to transmit an audible signal when the trigger is manipulated, wherein manipulation of the at least one decoy exposed fastener actuates the trigger for transmitting the audible signal, and wherein manipulation of the at least one mount fastener regulates access to the cavity of the backpack; and   a speaker, the speaker configured to operatively connect to the trigger, the speaker configured to transmit the audible signal.   
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 14 , wherein the audible signal includes at least one member selected from the group consisting of: a siren, a beep, a human voice, and a ring tone. 
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 14 , wherein the at least one decoy exposed fastener is a decoy zipper. 
     
     
         17 . A backpack security system for preventing unauthorized manipulation of a backpack, the system comprises:
 a backpack, the backpack comprising a mount panel, an exposed panel, a base panel, a pair of side panels, and a cavity formed within the panels;   at least one mount fastener, the at least one mount fastener disposed on the mount panel, the at least one mount fastener configured to open and close for regulating access to the cavity of the backpack;   at least one decoy exposed fastener, the at least one decoy exposed fastener disposed on the exposed panel, the at least one decoy exposed fastener configured to be visible from the exposed panel, the at least one decoy exposed fastener comprising a trigger;   an alarm device, the alarm device configured to be operatively connected to the trigger of the at least one decoy exposed fastener, the alarm device configured to transmit a silent signal when the trigger is manipulated, wherein manipulation of the at least one decoy exposed fastener actuates the trigger for transmitting the silent signal through the alarm device, and wherein manipulation of the at least one mount fastener regulates access to the cavity of the backpack; and   a transmitter, the transmitter configured to operatively connect to the trigger, the transmitter configured to transmit the silent signal.   
     
     
         18 . The system of  claim 17 , wherein the silent signal is transmitted to the wearer and/or a remote receiver.
