ABSTRACT:
The pack frame has first and second rectangular frames pivotally interconnected to allow the frames to be opened to the limit imposed by a fabric seat mounted between the top members. A safety strap connects the bottom frame members to act as a back-up limit on separation of the frames. The frames can be collapsed or folded and carried by shoulder straps connected to one of the frames at the top cross member and to the sides of the frame below the pivot. An optional backrest is fixed to the one frame to serve to support cargo when the frames are used as a backpack or to pivot, by removal of one of two mounting pins on each side to a lowered position, or to serve as a backrest when the seat is used. Optional side cargo bags are mounted to the pivot pins and are connected to each other by a strap passing over the seat. The invention also provides a spliced joint for each rectangular frame in the medial portion of the lower cross member. The splice has a tubular frame end fit over a fixed sleeve and is retained by a pin which also fixes the end of the safety strap. In one embodiment the tapered top of a box is fitted inside the inner frame and is held in that position the clevis pins which serve as the pivot pins for the frames.
