- FIG. 6 depicts alternative embodiments of the apparatus of FIG. 1 , with the alternative load engaging means of a hook, being used to carry heavy equipment cases.
- FIG. 7 depicts the apparatus of FIG. 1 in use to aid in lifting a packing box.
- FIG. 8 depicts the apparatus according to FIG. 1 being used to carry a medical stretcher.
- FIG. 9 depicts the apparatus of FIG. 1 being used to hold a shovel.
- FIG. 10 depicts additional views of the apparatus of FIG. 1 .
- FIG. 1 illustrates the apparatus of the present invention (generally designated “A”) according to the present invention, as it would appear mounted on the user's body as viewed from the anterior (front) side.
- the apparatus comprises a first strap 10 and a second strap 12 .
- Straps 10 and 12 are made of a substantially non-stretchable material such as KEVLAR® which is a product available from Dupont, of Wilmington, Del.
- KEVLAR® is a product available from Dupont, of Wilmington, Del.
- As an alternative to straps, belts, chains, monofilament fishing lines, etc. or the like could be used.
- Strap 10 has a first end 11 and a second end 13 ; the first end 11 is connected to first strap connector means 18 .
- the second end 13 is connected to second strap connector means 28 .
- Strap 10 has an anterior section 10 A and a posterior section 10 P.
- Strap 12 has a first end 15 and a second end 17 ; the first end 15 is connected to second strap connector means 28 ; the second end 17 is connected to first strap connector means 18 .
- Strap 12 has an anterior section 12 A and a posterior section 12 P. Straps 10 and 12 may be integral, continuous, sectional, or separate and interconnected.
- straps 10 and 12 are generally parallel as they traverse the anterior portion of the user's body, and cross each other as they traverse the posterior portion of the user's body. As seen in FIG. 2 , straps 10 and 12 extend across the posterior of the user's body, each passing over a different one of the user's shoulders, preferably supported in part by shoulder pads 24 , which are provided to cushion each shoulder. Straps 10 and 12 diagonally traverse the user's back, crossing at a crossover point 22 approximately along the user's spine. In one embodiment, the straps 10 and 12 are retained at crossover point 22 by one or more slots cut lengthwise in one of the straps, with the other strap being threaded through the one or more slots, as shown in FIGS. 2-3 .
- the first end 15 of strap 12 and the second end 13 of strap 10 are connected at first strap connector means 18 .
