Abstract

A backpack-type power supply includes a rechargeable battery, a case, and a harness. The case accommodates the rechargeable battery. The case has a surface. By the harness, a user wears the case on a back of the user with the surface facing the back. The surface is formed with a recession and a protrusion.

Claims

1. A backpack-type power supply comprising:

a rechargeable battery;

a case accommodating the rechargeable battery, the case having a surface; and

a harness by which a user wears the case on a back of the user with the surface facing the back,

wherein the surface is formed with a recession and a protrusion.

2. The backpack-type power supply according to claim 1, wherein the recession and the protrusion extend in a horizontal direction when the user wears the case on the back.

3. The backpack-type power supply according to claim 1, wherein the harness comprises a padded part configured to contact the back of the user when the user wears the case on the back,

wherein the padded part is formed with a groove extending in a vertical direction when the user wears the case on the back.

4. The backpack-type power supply according to claim 1, wherein the protrusion has a hollow cavity.

5. A backpack-type power supply comprising:

a rechargeable battery;

a case accommodating the rechargeable battery, the case having a surface;

a harness by which a user wears the case on a back of the user with the surface facing the back; and

a power cable electrically connected to the rechargeable battery, wherein the surface has an upper end, a lower end, a first side end, a second side end opposite the first side end, and a center portion in a horizontal direction when the user wears the case on the back, the power cable extending from the center portion.

6. The backpack-type power supply according to claim 5, wherein the power cable extends diagonally upward from the center portion of the surface when the user wears the case on the back.

7. The backpack-type power supply according to claim 5, wherein the surface is formed with a guide portion configured to guide the power cable to one of the first side end or the second side end from the center portion.

8. The backpack-type power supply according to claim 5, further comprising an attachment member configured to detachably attach the harness to the case manually without using a tool.

9. The backpack-type power supply according to claim 8, wherein the attachment member includes a first portion and a second portion, each of the first portion and the second portion being configured to detachably attach the harness to the case manually without using the tool, wherein when the first portion attaches the harness to the case, the power cable is configured to be guided to the first side end by the harness, the case, and the attachment member,

wherein when the second portion attaches the harness to the case, the power cable is configured to be guided to the second side end by the harness, the case, and the attachment member.

10. The backpack-type power supply according to claim 8, wherein the attachment member includes one selected from a group consisting of a screw, a button, a hook and loop fastener, and a coupling.

11. A backpack-type power supply comprising:

a rechargeable battery;

a case accommodating the rechargeable battery;

a harness having a padded part, a user wearing the case on a back of the user by the harness with the padded part contacting to the back;

a power cable electrically connected to the rechargeable battery; and

a screw,

wherein the padded part is fixed to the surface with the screw.

12. The backpack-type power supply according to claim 11, wherein the padded part has a first side end and a second side end opposite the first side end when the user wears the case on the back,

wherein the screw fixes the padded part to the surface at a position of the padded part apart from both the first side end of the padded part and the second side end of the padded part.

13. The backpack-type power supply according to claim 11, further comprising an attachment member configured to detachably attach the harness to the case manually without using a tool.

14. The backpack-type power supply according to claim 13, wherein the attachment member includes one selected from a group consisting of a screw, a button, a hook and loop fastener, and a coupling.

15. A backpack-type power supply comprising:
