ABSTRACT:
A new and improved backpack support apparatus includes a first extensible leg assembly, a second extensible leg assembly, and a plurality of transverse strut assemblies connected between the first extensible leg assembly and the second extensible leg assembly. The transverse strut assemblies are capable of supporting a backpack and capable of resting on a wearer's back. A separable, extensible walking stick assembly is used and includes a top portion adapted to engage one of the transverse strut assemblies, such that the extensible walking stick assembly, the first extensible leg assembly, and the second extensible leg assembly form a three-legged support for the backpack. The first extensible leg assembly and the second extensible leg assembly include a plurality of telescopic leg members and lock assemblies for locking the telescopic leg members in extended orientations. The first extensible leg assembly and the second extensible leg assembly includes respective spring, assemblies which normally bias the respective telescopic leg members in a retracted position, and the lock assemblies are capable of locking the respective telescopic leg members in an extended position. The extensible walking stick assembly includes a plurality of telescopic stick members and lock assemblies for locking the telescopic stick members in extended orientations. Respective light assemblies may be supported by the first extensible leg assembly and/or the second extensible leg assembly. A transverse strut assembly may be adapted to receive and house a signaling device.
