  • Animate load bearer radial adjuster device for cargo transport carriers
    Patent number: 7513018
    Abstract: A radial adjuster device is provided for use in conjunction with cargo transport carriers worn by animate load bearers. The radial adjuster device allows an animate load bearer to adjust each laterally positioned cargo transport carrier shoulder strap or other such support structure single-handedly, or alternatively to adjust each shoulder strap simultaneously using each hand to engage and rotate the radial adjuster device to achieve a desired position or balance of the cargo transport carrier. The radial adjuster device simplifies and optimizes cargo transport carrier adjustment to facilitate animate load bearers in properly positioning cargo transport carriers, and consequently avoiding the injury and discomfort associated with bearing improperly balanced cargo transport carriers. The spooling mechanism of the inventive radial adjuster device eliminates the inconvenience, unsightliness, and potential hazards associated with free-hanging strap ends of cargo transport carriers.
