Abstract: A load carrying device with shoulder straps and a waist belt fitted to an outer hull rigid-composite exoskeleton that contains within it, a similar inner rigid-composite hull or hull(s) that are extendable from the outer hull. When the inner hull is retracted inside the outer hull the backpack has a load capacity volume, such that the backpack can be used in an un-extended form as a backpack for carrying materials, such as camping supplies, equipment or mission specific components. Alternatively, when the inner hull is empty, and the inner hull/exoskeleton is extended out from within the outer hull/exoskeleton and mechanically coupled together with the outer hull, the extended backpack can be used as a habitable rigid secure sleeping space, thus providing sheltered protection against predatory animals, environment, reptiles and other environmental hazards within a hard exoskeleton.

Abstract: A collapsible flexible shoulder-borne carrying device includes a dividable lumbar support with a support bar attached to the lumbar support. The support bar extends transversely from the lumbar support at a point of attachment. The upper part of the support bar is rigid, and the lower part of the support bar has a free end that is pliable and bent inward toward the lower part of the lumbar support to provide an open arch. A length-adjustable support harness with fasteners is secured to the free end of the support bar and is secured to a free end of the lumbar support to fasten the open arch in a desired position. A seat cover has at least one safety strap and at least one leg restraint in a lower part of the seat cover. At least one support strap is fastened to the upper part of the lumbar support.
Abstract: A bicycle-fork support device configured to hold: a conventional fork, allowing insertion of a quick-release-skewer support shaft, in a lower end portion of the fork of a bicycle; a through-axle fork where a through-axle insertion hole for securing a through-axle hub formed in a lower end portion of the through-axle fork, and configured to deal with outer diameters of through-axle forks. The support-fork switching unit includes: a support-device main body where a hollow portion is formed; end portions formed in right and left end portions of the hollow portion; a conventional-fork-use supporting body including, a contacting portion formed with an internal shape that fits the support shaft; a through-axle-fork-use supporting body including, a contacting portion formed with an internal shape that fits the through axle; and a unit for removably mounting any of the supporting bodies on the right and left end portions.
Abstract: A strap lifter for use with a harness is shown and described. The harness may have two shoulder straps that support a central, front buckle for use at about the lower, central belly of a user. A generally horizontal buckle strap has a fixed, rigid lower loop beneath a movable, flexible upper loop secured to the front of the buckle strap. The lower and upper loops are generally parallel, and close, to each other. Typically, the distance between the two loops is slightly more than the thickness of a lifter strap which is threaded between the two loops. Preferably, a set of two harnesses is used by two persons standing face-to-face with a single lifter strap between them threaded through both of the buckles.
Abstract: An SCBA backpack for air cylinders includes a chassis with a cradle receiving arrangement and a tank cradle for holding at least one air cylinder, wherein the tank cradle is removably secured to the chassis. Such an arrangement permits a variety of different tank cradles that may secure one or more cylinders but that are still compatible with a common backpack chassis.
Abstract: A convertible ground cover configured to be able to convert into a backpack and revert to a ground cover. The convertible ground cover and backpack may be utilized in a variety of outdoor settings like hunting, camping, or fishing. The convertible ground cover and backpack allows users to quickly convert a ground cover into a backpack using minimal tools and can be performed under various conditions. This eliminates the unnecessary extra weight required in conventional systems of carrying both a backpack and a groundcover. Furthermore, the convertible ground cover and backpack may be easily cleaned during or after use.
