Abstract: A distinctive method and apparatus (20) for accumulating different types of individual articles (28) can include a delivery device (132) which provides an initial-plurality (134) of an initial-type of individual articles. At least a first-accumulator mechanism (142) can be automated to provide a first-plurality (144) of a first-type of individual articles. The first-type of articles differ from the initial-type of articles, and at least a first-transport device (146) can move the first-plurality of articles to a first-packing location. Additionally, an automated assembly mechanism (136) can be configured to operatively combine the first-plurality (144) of articles with the initial-plurality (134) of articles.

Abstract: An elongated, upright frame support assembly has been designed to internally and individually support a plurality of upstanding arrows which opens to upward access and receives downwardly each arrow passing into countersunk telescoping tubes which encase each arrow of various lengths. This support assembly further includes a frame which protects arrows and provides attachment points for a camp pack and is covered by a camouflage cloth covering with various size pockets to carry hunting equipment. When this assembly is removed from the hunter, it may be opened in step ladder fashion and support a person standing on top, sitting or hide behind. This assembly is supported by a shoulder harness and is adapted to support the upstanding assemblage on the carrier's back in an upright manner so that the extreme longitudinal base descends to the waist and the longitudinal top extends just above the head region.
