  • Patent number: 5791537
    Abstract: The present invention is a pack to be carried on a person's back and includes a packable compartment having an inwardly slanting back surface upon which accessories may be mounted so that at least a portion of the mounted accessory will be located proximate to the carrier's shoulder and within easy over-the-shoulder reach by the carrier. It also provides a means by which the rotational orientation of the accessory may be varied with respect to the compartment to further enhance the combination's ability to place mounted accessories proximate the carrier's shoulder and facilitate right and left handed users. In one embodiment, the accessory is a quiver used to carry arrows. Still further, the present invention may be variably configured to conform to different persons' body structure and posture.
