  • Patent number: 6629629
    Abstract: The present invention disclose a sack used in an ordinary sack and a hard type sack selectively according to the existence of a hard case. The ordinary sack can be sagged easily when goods is packed into the sack because a material of the sack is usually a soft synthetic fiber. Such softness gives a non-elegant and uncomfortable to carry the ordinary sack. In more, carrying fragile goods in such a sack can make someone to be nervous to prevent unpredicted external impact. Usage of the hard type sack has an advantage to keep a shape without sagging when goods are packed in, and to protect the goods from any external impact, because a backside case is made of a hard material. However, disassembling the backside case from the hard type sack is not easy because the backside case is jointed with a back supporter by bolts and nuts method. In more, bolts are always required to re-assemble the backside case into the hard type sack after disassembling.

  • Patent number: 6568575
    Abstract: A harness with detachable and interchangeable pouches comprises two torso straps extending downwardly and outwardly from a central coupler assembly, two shoulder straps, and two belly straps. The harness is adjustable to fit nearly any body size. The pouches are attached to the harness with quick-releasing retaining clips and to each other by the belly straps. Each pouch includes front and rear panels that are formed using either a right-side template or a left-side template and is interchangeable with any other pouch designed using the same template. The interchangeability allows the wearer to install pouches that are best suited for a particular activity. Each pouch is designed such that, when worn, it hangs at an angle which causes its top to slant downwardly toward the middle of the wearer's torso, thereby increasing the accessibility of the pouch contents.
