  • Publication number: 20100006610
    Abstract: Support legs and handles mounted onto a pack frame or backpack with the ability to be extended and locked so as to allow the pack to be laid on the ground, loaded, then lifted and pushed into a standing position to shoulder height and allow the user to easily and safely harness the pack to the shoulders and waist. When in the extended position the handles have become stabilizer feet for the legs. The support legs are now unlocked and retracted allowing the full weight of the pack onto the user shoulders. In the retracted position the attached handles are used to hold onto and lift the weight of the pack off the user shoulders and hips. When it become necessary to rest the user can unlock the retracted legs, release the retracting mechanism and lower the support legs to the ground, and employ the locking mechanism. The user can now safely and easily remove the pack from the users back and lay the pack on the ground.
