Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
124 words
A body engaging load carrier comprising: a body engaging strap assembly; and a strap assembly supported element supported on the body engaging strap assembly and comprising: a container; and an integrally formed back engaging portion having a padded back facing surface and a generally rigid curved opposite surface fixed thereto, the integrally formed back engaging portion defining a first generally vertically extending curve arranged to be centered adjacent the upper back portion of a user and a second generally horizontally extending curve arranged to be centered adjacent the lower back portion, the integrally formed back engaging portion being bendable about a horizontal axis located adjacent the center of the first curve and about a vertical axis located adjacent the center of the second curve.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
130 words
For use in conjunction with a body engaging strap assembly and a container: an integrally formed back engaging element arranged to be supported by the body engaging strap assembly and arranged to engage the container, the integrally formed back engaging element having a padded back facing surface and a generally rigid curved opposite surface fixed thereto, the integrally formed back engaging portion defining a first generally vertically extending curve arranged to be centered adjacent the upper back portion of a user and a second generally horizontally extending curve arranged to be centered adjacent the lower back portion, the integrally formed back engaging portion being bendable about a horizontal axis located adjacent the center of the first curve and about a vertical axis located adjacent the center of the second curve.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
40 words
A resilient mounting device comprising: a plurality of rods; and first and second resilient mounting elements associated with the plurality of rods at first and second ends thereof, whereby the mutual spacing of the plurality of rods may be varied.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
91 words
A resilient strap assembly including at least one resilient mounting device comprising: a plurality of rods; first and second resilient mounting elements associated with the plurality of rods at first and second ends thereof, whereby the mutual spacing of the plurality of rods may be varied; and a strap threaded through the plurality of rods whereby the strap may be effectively lengthened by pulling the ends thereof apart, which causes the mutual spacing of the plurality of the rods to be increased against the resilient urging of the resilient mounting elements.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
111 words
A body engaging load carrier comprising: a shoulder harness; a load support; and at least one resilient strap assembly interconnecting the shoulder harness and the load support, each resilient strap assembly comprising: a plurality of rods; first and second resilient mounting elements associated with the plurality of rods at first and second ends thereof, whereby the mutual spacing of the plurality of rods may be varied; and a strap threaded through the plurality of rods whereby the strap may be effectively lengthened by pulling the ends thereof apart, which causes the mutual spacing of the plurality of the rods to be increased against the resilient urging of the resilient mounting elements.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
43 words
A body engaging load carrier including a load support and a body engaging element including at least one of a shoulder strap assembly and a hip engaging belt assembly, wherein the body engaging element is at least partially filled with a silicone gel.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
