ABSTRACT:
A load carrying system comprising a pack frame and a waist-encircling belt. he pack frame is adapted for fastening around the body of a wearer and includes a top end, a bottom end and a male formation extending substantially downward from the frame bottom end. The male formation has an engagement portion. The waist-encircling belt has a wearer facing side, an exterior side, a pair of ends and a complementary pair of fasteners. Each fastener is attached to a respective end of the belt. The belt further includes a receptacle attached to the exterior side of the belt and located substantially midway between the belt ends. The receptacle has an opening and is sized for receiving the male formation. The load-carrying system further includes at least one interfering member attached to the receptacle and positioned within the receptacle opening. The interfering member is adapted for engaging the engagement portion of the male formation. The interfering member prevents the male formation from becoming dislodged from the receptacle when the pack frame is in a generally vertical orientation and allows the male formation to become dislodged from the receptacle when the orientation of the pack frame is less than generally vertical.
