Abstract
Abstract A shoulder saddle assembly which may be worn by an adult to support and carry a child or injured adult with minimal effort and without the need for the bearer to hold the feet of the passenger or for the passenger to grip the head of the bearer. The assembly is constituted by a yoke member fitting over the head of the bearer and adapted to rest on the shoulders of the bearer, the yoke including a breast plate and a back plate to afford an effective distribution of the load. Removably secured to the yoke member is a cowl-shaped saddle piece, having a curved rear wall to receive the posterior of the passenger and rolled-in side walls to accommodate the passenger''s thighs.
