Abstract

A kayak that collapses to form a backpack structure is provided. The kayak includes a plurality of removably connectable hull members. The hull members include at least a middle section, a front section, and a rear section. The middle section comprises a tapered complex body having a cavity. The tapered complex body has a width larger than width of the front section and rear section such that the tapered complex body can receive the front section and the rear section in the cavity of the middle section. A plurality of bolts are configured to removably connect the hull members. The bolts provide pressure to a rubber gasket for connecting the front section and the rear section to the middle section. A cockpit is formed by removably connecting the front section and rear section to the middle section via the bolts. A seat member is removably attached to the cockpit.

Claims

1. A media system for powering and transmitting signals to a television during a power outage, comprising:

a housing having a front surface, a rear surface, an upper surface, and a base;

an optical drive and optical drive controller;

a battery pack comprising a plurality of rechargeable batteries;

an electrical socket along the rear surface of the housing that is adapted to receive a power plug of a television therein;

a battery controller;

an inverter between the battery pack and the electrical socket;

a power cord extending from the housing and electrically coupled to the battery pack for recharging the battery pack;

a rectifier between the power cord and the battery pack;

a media signal interface along the rear surface of the housing, whereby audio and video signals are transmitted between the optical drive controller and the television coupled to the video signal interface.

2. The media system of claim 1, wherein the battery pack comprises one or more battery packs that are removable from the housing.

3. The media system of claim 1, wherein the front surface of the housing further comprises a display screen.

4. The media system of claim 1, further comprising:

a processor, a memory, and a serial bus connector adapted to receive data from a serial connection and for transmitting the data to the television via the video signal interface.
