ABSTRACT:
A backpack and load conveyance apparatus operable to receive and convey numerous types of items through a conventional type backpack shoulder and waist support assembly. The backpack and load conveyance apparatus includes 1) a shoulder harness support assembly; and 2) a main collapsible load conveyance assembly having an upper connector frame assembly and a lower support frame assembly, both of which can be disconnected for ease of storage and conveyance in a vehicle. The shoulder harness support assembly is operable through a body connector assembly to be readily attached to the shoulder and waist areas of a user thereof. The upper connector frame assembly is operable to be readily attached to the shoulder harness support assembly in a manner to allow shock absorbing relative vertical movement, rotational movement, and pivotal movement for ease of usage. The lower support frame assembly is provided with a support wheel assembly and a foldable nose plate assembly. The support wheel assembly is provided with a spring bias assembly to provide a shock absorbing feature to wheel support members which are engageable with a ground support surface. The spring bias assembly provides bias means and prevents rotational movement of the wheel support members for ease of movement over rough terrain. The foldable nose plate assembly provides a nose plate frame assembly for supporting various items thereon and is foldable into a collapsed position for ease of storage and transporting. Further, an inclined support strut is provided which can be moved from an inclined usage condition to hold the main collapsible load conveyance assembly in an upwardly inclined loading and unloading position to a collapsed storage position.
