Abstract

The present invention relates to an arrangement for carrying loads, particularly a camera, on a first shoulder. The arrangement comprises a hip-belt (3), a support beam (1) extending upwardly from the rear of the hip-belt, a boom (2) pivotably arranged on and extending out from the upper part of the support beam, and a pre-tensioned, extensible cord (11) or ribbon, stretching from the free end of the boom for connection to the load. The invention is characterized in that a shoulder-strap (4) extends from the hip-belt (3), over the wearer's shoulder and to the support beam (1), and that the cord runs inside the boom (2).

De~rice for carrying a ~eigh~ .

TECH~CAI, FIELD
The present invention relates to an arrangement for carrying loads, particularly a camera, on a first shoulder. The arrangement is of the type eo~ isinO a hip belt, a support beam extenting upwardly from the rear of the hi~belt, a boom pivotably arranged on and extendinO out from the upper part of the support beam, and a pre-tensioned, extensible cort or ribbon, stretching ~rom the free end of the boom for connection to the load.

BACKGROU~D ART
~Iodern man is now usually no longer in top physlcal condition The natural exercising of muscles and joints resul~ing from the daily struOgle of previou5 generations for sun~ival i5 no longer applicable. Motern tools are not al~ays ergonolnically desi3ned. Take the example of a TV
yhotoOrapher with his camera held on his shoulder. Carrying a c~mera on one shoulder causes an une~en load on. the spine.

A knot~ n deYicc (see SU A 1~2~660) sho--~s an arran~ement for holding A
h~nd camera. Ho-~ever, this arrangement cannot be used by a photograyher usinO a shouldes camera since it cannot be used on top of a shoulder-strap, at least not ~-ithout consiaerable motification of the desi,,n.This arrangement is cumb_,~G",e, hea~y and Iacks stability and good ~eight distnbution.
. . .
SU~ ARY OF THE I~VE~IO~I
The present in~ention aims at a solution of the problems mentioned above and associated problems. It is characterizet in that a shouIder-strap extends from the hip-~oelt, o~er the wearer's shoulter and to the support beam, and that the cord runs inside the ~OOM. An arrangement is thus obtained that effecti-~ely retuces the loat on the sho~lder ant transfers the load to the hips cr to a stationary object. A stable, balanced arrangement is obtained, close to the body, since the cord is carried internally in the arranc,ement.
. .
In a preferred embodiment a force-absorbing sprin~ is arran~ed in the supyort beam ant connected to the cord irl order to achieve said pre-tension in the cord.

;z The i~ ,-lion allows the use of only onc shoulder-strap, the sole ~o~e of which is to retain the s~ ,vrt beam in ~ertical fJG~ and doff not take the weight off the hips.

BREF DESW~ J OF THE DRA~INGS
The ~ , drawDg, Fi~ 1, illustrates the inv~..lio,~.

r~c~r~ EMBODIME~T .
~e ~l,~n~ t is designed to be carnet by onl~ onc person. A ~ le plate i5 also pro~ided at the bolt~l~. of the ar,.-.4~.,.e..t, fn or~er to relie~e ~ ~i8ht from the hiE~belt.

I~e pivotable plate rotates.

~:igure 1 shows a c~rS),il,~ arrangement wi~ a support beam ~1) with ~h,ot~W~ ap~ boom~Z). It also iT~ Ps a load-absG~ elt 13) and a vertically displaceable att~l....P ~t (6) for a sho~ er-strap (4) and a c~lCIlion ~5). It also includes a lower, ~icFI- e~l~le athchment (7) in ~hich the ~ing belt is sc.~.

(8) is a pivobble end ~-lp~v~l for the ~up~v~l beam (1). Thn,~h the boom e), pi~ots~ly jo~ erl in the ~- p~ eam (1), runs the weight ~;3G~
cord or ribbon (11), Y~ 8 over t~vo jo~rn~lled pulleys (9) for the cord/nbbon. An stt -h~ent means (10) is loc~ted at the end of the cord/nbbon, to which the object to be camet Qn be ~e~ur~.l. The other end of the co~ }*on is secured in the lQrC~_~30~ , Sprirl~ locate~.she ~o,t beam. The spnng may ~e either a gas spnng or a steel sp~ng A weight, 5uch as a TV ca4._~d, is ~ntPn~le~ to be secured in the hook (10) attachet in the cor~. The back cushion (5) can be u~ on the ~ t beam (1). When the su~orl beam is fittet onto a person, ~e operator can move ~reely whether the hook is loaded or not. The ~dght is t~uf~is~ ~ to the auppOll belt t3)- When the hook (10) is loaded with ~.;O~ d~ ~le tension from ~e spring the weight~ e g. a TV c~u~ , can easily be lo-~e.~ or r~ised The in~ention can be varied in many ways wiWn the scope of the appende~ rlai~s

Claims (7)

1. An arrangement for carrying loads, particularly a camera, on a first shoulder, comprising a hip-belt, a support beam extending upwardly from the rear of the hip-belt, a boom pivotably arranged on and extending out from the upper part of the support beam, and a pre-tensioned, extensible cord, or a ribbon, stretching from the free end of the boom for connection to the load to relieve its weight, c h a r a c t e r i z e d i n t h a t a shoulder-strap extends from the hip-belt, over the wearer's other shoulder and to the support beam, and that the cord runs inside the boom.
2. An arrangement as claimed in claim 1, c h a r a c t e r i z e d i n t h a t a force-absorbing spring is arranged in the support beam and connected to the cord in order to achieve said pre-tension in the cord.
3. An arrangement as claimed in any of the preceding claims, c h a r a c t e r i z e d i n t h a t a pivotable support is arranged at thelower, free end of the support beam, so that when the support is applied against a counter surface it relieves the weight from the hip-belt.
4. An arrangement as claimed in any of the preceding claims, c h a r a c t e r i z e d i n t h a t the hip-belt is displaceably secured to the support beam.
5. An arrangement as claimed in any of the preceding claims, c h a r a c t e r i z e d i n t h a t the shoulder-strap is displaceably secured to the support beam.
6. An arrangement as claimed in either of claims 4 or 5, c h a r a c t e r i z e d i n t h a t a cushion is arranged at the attachment of the shoulder-strap to the support beam.
7. An arrangement as claimed in any of the preceding claims, c h a r a c t e r i z e d i n t h a t the cord runs from the force-absorbing spring, inside the support beam, over a first pulley, through the boom, over a second pulley and to the camera.
