Backpack type firefighting device and container therefor

摘要

A container for a backpack type firefighting device to be strapped on a back of a user is described. The container comprises a medium reservoir having at least one medium tank of an essentially round cylindrical shape and adapted to store a pressurized fire extinguishing medium, and a shell portably housing the medium reservoir and adapted to be connected to a strap system. A center of gravity of the medium reservoir is located such that it is closer to its region facing the strap system than to its lateral regions.
