Method, Apparatus and System for Front Access Backpack

Abstract

A side access back pack design is proposed which is fully mechanized. Through a user trigger, a vital portion of the storage compartment mechanically moves out, pivots and linearly traverses towards the front and side of the user. The storage compartment is designed to carry critical equipment that a user wishes to access quickly without a need to unshoulder the back pack and access it in non-wear mode which has several disadvantages, including inconvenience and loss of time. After use of the critically accessed equipment, again on user trigger, the storage compartment retracts and folds itself within the contours of a regular backpack.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A backpack system, comprising:
 a back portion comprising of a regular holding space, a base wearable on a user's back using two shoulder straps for carrying the system on a user's back and;   a plurality of front access storage compartments mounted on a plurality of sliding chassis attached to the base and;   a mechanical system to mount a plurality of sliding chassis on a plurality of a second set of sliding chassis and;   a mechanical and electrical system to move a plurality of storage compartments sideways outward, rotate on a pivot and sideways forward for frontal access.   
     
     
         2 . The backpack system of  claim 1  comprising a single first sliding chassis, a single second sliding chassis and a single storage compartment. 
     
     
         3 . The backpack system of  claim 1  where frontal access is at least from the right side or left side. 
     
     
         4 . The backpack system of  claim 1  where electrical and mechanical apparatus comprises of an electric motor, a switch, a plurality of gears of a plurality of ratios and a plurality of sliding and rotating shafts. 
     
     
         5 . The backpack system of  claim 1  where the mechanical apparatus comprises a waterproofing rubber seal, storage compartment cover pressed over the storage compartment using rotating plate and pull cable. 
     
     
         6 . The backpack system of  claim 1  where the two sideways and one rotate movement occur simultaneously. 
     
     
         7 . A backpack method, comprising:
 a back portion comprising of a regular holding space, a base wearable on a user's back using two shoulder straps for carrying on a user's back and;   a plurality of front access storage compartments mounted on a plurality of sliding chassis attached to the base and;   a method to mount a plurality of sliding chassis on a plurality of a second set of sliding chassis and;   a method to move a plurality of storage compartments sideways outward, rotate on a pivot and sideways forward for frontal access.   
     
     
         8 . The backpack method of  claim 7  comprising a single first sliding chassis, a single second sliding chassis and a single storage compartment. 
     
     
         9 . The backpack method of  claim 7  where frontal access is at least from the right side or left side. 
     
     
         10 . The backpack method of  claim 7  where electrical and mechanical apparatus comprises of an electric motor, a switch, a plurality of gears of a plurality of ratios and a plurality of sliding and rotating shafts. 
     
     
         11 . The backpack method of  claim 7  where the mechanical apparatus comprises a waterproofing rubber seal, storage compartment cover pressed over the storage compartment using rotating plate and pull cable. 
     
     
         12 . The backpack method of  claim 7  where the two sideways and one rotate movement occur simultaneously. 
     
     
         13 . A backpack apparatus, comprising:
 a back portion comprising of a regular holding space, a base wearable on a user's back using two shoulder straps for carrying on a user's back and;   a plurality of front access storage compartments mounted on a plurality of sliding chassis attached to the base and;   an apparatus to mount a plurality of sliding chassis on a plurality of a second set of sliding chassis and;   an apparatus to move a plurality of storage compartments sideways outward, rotate on a pivot and sideways forward for frontal access.   
     
     
         14 . The backpack apparatus of  claim 13  comprising a single first sliding chassis, a single second sliding chassis and a single storage compartment. 
     
     
         15 . The backpack apparatus of  claim 13  where frontal access is at least from the right side or left side. 
     
     
         16 . The backpack apparatus of  claim 13  where electrical and mechanical apparatus comprises of an electric motor, a switch, a plurality of gears of a plurality of ratios and a plurality of sliding and rotating shafts. 
     
     
         17 . The backpack apparatus of  claim 13  where the mechanical apparatus comprises a waterproofing rubber seal, storage compartment cover pressed over the storage compartment using rotating plate and pull cable. 
     
     
         18 . The backpack apparatus of  claim 13  where the two sideways and one rotate movement occur simultaneously. 
     
     
         19 . The backpack apparatus of  claim 17  where the electric motor is replaced by a manual movement or movement through use of springs.
