  • Publication number: 20070057002
    Abstract: The present shoulder strap and waist belt invention is conceived to help the person who must carry weight comfortably and access the contents while carrying that weight. A person practiced in the art may imagine a number of deviations in the scope of this invention. One imagined deviation is a substitution of the bag for a more shelf-like creation which would be useful to people with injuries that need time for rest, such as an injured arm: Additional padding, webbing, and means of attachment of additional pieces could allow superior rest for the injured limb. Other deviations come to mind: a child carrier; a dog or other small pet carrier; a book or papers carrier without the external bag but instead with a grill-like cage or other means of containment, and others. As new raw materials are invented, substitutions may be made while using or otherwise keeping the ideas of the present invention.
