Description

    TECHNICAL FIELD
  • This invention is a modular back pack, assault pack and ammunition carrier system which allows military personnel to collectively carry weapon ammunition, personal sheltering materials, food and clothes and to rapidly release such weight in case of engaging in warfare.
    • EXISTING STATE OF ART
  • Already used system consists of a back pack and a small bag on bag, and a vest with ammunition compartments in front. However such vest comes with problems. Problems of the bag are being sweaty, pulling towards back and front, piercing the nape, not allowing wearing the backpack while assault bag is full, and disturbing the user because shoulder straps of backpack coincide with ammunition included in the front of the vest.
  • Back pack disturbs the user for being sweaty, incapable of being released from the back during combat, not being able to be conveniently used together with ammunition west, and due to its non ergonomic carrying system. FR 2817716 discloses a back pack which is attached to a supporting framework by means of a hinge.
    • DESCRIPTION OF INVENTION
  • The above problems are solved by providing an ammunition carrier system according to claim 1 which allows military personnel to collectively carry all weapon ammunition, personal sheltering materials, food and clothes and to rapidly release all unnecessary weight in case of engaging in warfare.
  • The invention provides ease of use to the sector which benefits from it due to functionality. It can also be widely-preferred due to its durability and wide application area.

    DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF INVENTION
  • Invention comprises a main back pack (1), ammunition vest (2), female buckle (2.1), male buckle (2.2), assault pack (3), supporting framework (4), 1.5 It. plastic flask casing with thermal insulation (5), back pack release lock system (6), back pack release hinge system (7), ergonomic waist belt (8) and ergonomic back and shoulder strap (9). Back pack (1) is made of high-strength fabric. It is mounted on this module system which encompasses all personal, sheltering and over night sheltering equipments, with the use of materials on it and to supporting framework (4) by the bottom hinge (7) and upper lock (6).
  • Ammunition vest (2) is made of high-strength fabric. This module manufactured individually for each weapon with zips on the front side is included in the system by fastening the buckles on the main frame to shoulder buckles (2.1).
  • Side buckles (2.2) are fastened to the back buckles of shoulder harness and adjusted. When back pack (1) and waist belt (8) become unnecessary, this module is used only by being mounted on the shoulder buckle.
  • Modules of the pack are joined with narrow-woven link and buckle/adapters (2.1, 2.2). Female buckle (2.1) is sewn with narrow-weave on its narrow edge. Male buckle (2.2) becomes ready when its corresponding part enters in and comes out of the perlon. Perlon male buckle (2.2) passes through the female (2.1) to be positioned facing one other, loose end of the perlon is pulled and stretched, when piece of string connected on the hole of female buckle (2.1) is removed it becomes loose, and when 2 cambers of male buckle (2.2) are pulled up by two fingers, buckles (2.1, 2.2) are separated from one another.
  • Assault pack (3) is made of high-strength fabric. It is a small-sized bag with front side zip which includes important exigencies. It is mounted on the back pack (1).
  • Supporting framework (4), is the main frame on which all modules will be mounted. It may be produced of aluminum, composite or plastic materials. It is flexible. Its height is 57-59 cm, width is 11 cm at is narrowest point and 20 cm in the top part, and 17 cm in the bottom part. Thickness varies between 1 to 10 mm depending on the material.
  • Thermo insulating casings (5) are mounted on the left and right side of assault pack. It is made of high-strength fabric. Water temperature can be maintained at fixed degree for a long time on account of 8 mm-thick polyethylene foam insulation material.
  • Lock (6) is fixed with a male key with inner hole to be assembled at the top of the back pack (1) which passes through the holes and fixed with lock bolt. When two plastic lock bolts are pulled by two hands, back pack (1) reclines due to its weight and the bottom hinge (7) is separated from the supporting framework (4), when it reaches a certain angle.
  • Hinge (7) consists of two plastic parts. The part with steel bar inside is assembled on the framework (4). A hook-like part is attached to the back pack (1) module. Waist belt (8) allows the transfer of load from pelvis to legs. It reduces the pressure of bad on spinal cord. It is thermoform and ergonomic. It is mounted by inserting the bottom part of supporting framework (4) into fabric envelope located at the rear of waist belt (8) and by inserting 1 narrow-weave at the bottom part into the hole in the supporting framework (1).
  • Back and shoulder strap (9) is designed for providing easy carriage on the back and shoulders. It is thermoform and ergonomic. It is fixed with two narrow-woven hook-and-loop fasteners of 5 cm each, passing through the holes in the supporting framework (4) and overlapping. There are 3 different levels of whole system for shoulder harness for people with different heights.
  • Military personnel exigencies and ammunition carrier system comprises of modules mounted on a supporting framework (4). Primarily, the ergonomic waist belt (8) is assembled on the lowermost part of supporting framework (4). Back pack (1) release hinge's (7) male section is mounted on the back part. Then one of the holes located on the upper part of the supporting framework (4) is chosen according to the user's height and ergonomic back and shoulder belt (8) is attached hereinto.
  • Assault pack (3) with 2 thermal insulation 1,5 It. plastic insulating casings (5) mounted on the sides, is attached to the other side of the supporting framework (4) with use of buckles. At this stage, the system is ready to be used when back pack is unnecessary. Back pack (1) is mounted by inserting the female hinge (7) into male piece (7) located at the bottom of supporting framework (4) and locking the upper lock system (6). Ammunition vest (2) designed for the specific weapon is attached by buckles (10) located on the front side of ergonomic back and shoulder strap (9). All buckles (10) of the system are specifically designed for this product, which are light buckles that can be opened and closed and adjusted very rapidly. The system is carried on the back and it can be released by pulling the personnel lock system (6) which looses the back pack in the case of any action.
