Abstract
A panel attachable to a backpack body. The panel having at least one through-hole formed therein to allow air to flow into a gap defined between the panel and the backpack body. An air-moving device is mountable to the panel, with an outer portion of the air-moving device extending forwardly from the panel and an inner portion of the air-moving device positioned in the gap. The air-moving device causes air to flow into the gap through the at least one through-hole and into one or more inlets of the inner portion. The air-moving device causes air to flow out one or more outlets of the outer portion.
Claims41
A backpack comprising:
- a backpack body;
- a forward-facing panel attached to the backpack body, the forward-facing panel having at least one through-hole formed therein to allow air to flow into a gap defined between the forward-facing panel and the backpack body, the forward-facing panel having a forward-facing contoured surface that comprises at least one forwardly extending ridge that rests on a back of a wearer when the backpack is worn by the wearer to space a recessed portion of the forward-facing panel away from the back of the wearer;
- and
- an air-moving device mountable to a lower portion of the forward-facing panel in the recessed portion of the forward-facing panel, wherein when the air-moving device is mounted in the recessed portion:
- a portion of the air-moving device is flush with a forwardmost point of the at least one forwardly extending ridge,
- an outer portion of the air-moving device extends forwardly from the forward-facing panel, and comprises one or more outlets formed in a top portion of the air-moving device, the one or more outlets being positioned inside the recessed portion to guide air upwardly when the air-moving device is operating and causing air to flow out of the one or more outlets,
- an inner portion of the air-moving device is positioned in the gap and comprises one or more inlets positioned inside the gap, and
- the air-moving device causes air to flow into the gap through the at least one through-hole and into the one or more inlets when the air-moving device is operating.

A backpack comprising:
- a backpack body;
- an air-moving device comprising an inlet portion opposite an outlet portion, the outlet portion comprising a top portion with at least one outlet formed therein;
- and
- a panel comprising a peripheral portion attachable to the backpack body, at least one inlet-hole being positioned along the peripheral portion to allow air to flow therethrough and into an air gap defined between the panel and the backpack body when the peripheral portion is attached to the backpack body, the panel comprising at least one forwardly extending ridge defining a recessed portion comprising at least one through-hole positioned in a lower portion of the panel, the air-moving device being mountable in the at least one through-hole with the outlet portion being positioned in front of the recessed portion such that when the air-moving device is operating the at least one outlet is positioned to direct air upwardly along the recessed portion, the inlet portion to be positioned behind the recessed portion in the air gap when the air-moving device is mounted in the at least one through-hole, the inlet portion receiving air through the at least one inlet-hole when the air-moving device is mounted in the at least one through-hole and is operating, a portion of the air-moving device being flush with a forwardmost point of the at least one forwardly extending ridge when the air-moving device is mounted in the at least one through-hole.

A backpack comprising:
- a backpack body;
- a forward-facing panel attached to the backpack body, the forward-facing panel comprising an opening, the forward-facing panel having at least one through-hole formed therein to allow air to flow into a gap defined between the forward-facing panel and the backpack body, the forward-facing panel having a forward-facing contoured surface that comprises at least one forwardly extending ridge that rests on a back of a wearer when the backpack is worn by the wearer to space a recessed portion of the forward-facing panel away from the back of the wearer;
- an air-moving device mountable in the recessed portion of the forward- facing panel, an outer portion of the air-moving device extending forwardly from the forward-facing panel when the air-moving device is mounted in the recessed portion, the air-moving device comprising an outer housing that is mountable in and removable from the opening of the forward-facing panel, an inner portion of the air-moving device being positioned in the gap when the air-moving device is mounted in the recessed portion, the inner portion comprising one or more inlets positioned inside the gap when the air-moving device is mounted in the recessed portion, the outer portion comprising one or more outlets positioned inside the recessed portion when the air-moving device is mounted in the recessed portion, the air-moving device causing air to flow into the gap through the at least one through-hole and into the one or more inlets when the air-moving device is operating and is mounted in the recessed portion, the air-moving device causing air to flow out the one or more outlets when the air-moving device is operating and is mounted in the recessed portion;
- and
- a cover to be positioned inside the opening after the outer housing is removed from the opening.

A panel for a backpack comprising a backpack body, the panel comprising:
- a peripheral portion attachable to the backpack body;
- at least one inlet-hole positioned along the peripheral portion to allow air to flow therethrough and into an air gap defined between the panel and the backpack body when the peripheral portion is attached to the backpack body;
- at least one forwardly extending ridge defining a recessed portion, the at least one forwardly extending ridge helping at least partially trap flowing air within the recessed portion, the at least one forwardly extending ridge comprising an upper ridge and a lower ridge, at least a portion of the recessed portion being between the upper ridge and the lower ridge, each of the upper and lower ridges having a C-shaped outer shape with an opening, the opening of the upper ridge being juxtaposed with the opening of the lower ridge, at least a portion of the recessed portion being positioned within the opening of the upper ridge and the opening of the lower ridge, the C-shaped outer shape of the upper ridge tapering from the opening of the upper ridge to an uppermost point of the upper ridge, the C-shaped outer shape of the lower ridge tapering from the opening of the lower ridge to a lowermost point of the lower ridge;
- and
- at least one through-hole formed in the recessed portion, a portion of the at least one through-hole being positioned within the opening of the lower ridge, an air-moving device being mountable in the at least one through-hole with an outlet portion of the air-moving device to be positioned in front of the recessed portion, and an inlet portion of the air-moving device to be positioned behind the recessed portion in the air gap, the inlet portion to receive air through the at least one inlet-hole and the outlet portion to output the air when the air-moving device is mounted in the at least one through-hole and is operating.
