LOAD CARRIAGE FRAME
Implementations described and claimed herein provide systems and methods for load carriage using a load carriage apparatus. In one implementation, a frame top is disposed at a proximal end of a load carriage frame. The frame top includes a proximal bar and a distal bar each extending between a first side bar and a second side bar. A frame base is disposed at a distal end of the load carriage frame, and the frame base includes a rear portion connected to a first side portion and a second side portion. A spine connects a center portion of the proximal bar of the frame top to the rear portion of the frame base. A first tube extends from the first side bar to the frame base relative to the first side portion. A second tube extends from the second side bar to the frame base relative to the second side portion.
Modular wearable object
A modular wearable object includes a main body, two combination plates, and a carrier. The main body includes a main portion and at least one extension portion. The extension portion extends outward from an end of the main portion. A part of each of the combination plates is fixed on the extension portion. Each of the combination plates has a first connecting portion located on a surface thereof facing the main body. The carrier includes a bearing portion and a positioning portion, wherein a space is formed therebetween to be passed through by the main portion. The positioning portion has a second connecting portion located on a surface thereof opposite to the main portion. The second connecting portion is adapted to be detachably engaged with each of the first connecting portions. A relative position between the main body and the carrier can be adjusted, and the carrier is replaceable.
Exoskeletal backpack system and articulating connector therefor
An exoskeletal backpack system includes a pelvic superstructure, a trunk superstructure, and an articulating connector. The pelvic superstructure is configured to be carried by a user, such as, for example, a person. The trunk superstructure also includes a user engagement element that is configured as a pair of flexible composite shoulder extensions.

Outdoor pack with companion frame
A backpack system is described herein comprising a frame and a pack (e.g., backpack or outdoor pack) that may be used by individuals engaging in different type of events such as hunting, fishing, hiking, sports and the like. The pack may be configured to be readily engaged with the frame. The pack may comprise one or more pocket sections that may be quickly detached for easy access to its contents by a user while still wearing the main part of the pack which may remain engaged with the frame.

System for storing, organizing, and transporting portable items
The disclosure provides systems and methods of use pertaining to the storage, organization, and transport of portable items typically carried within a bag, backpack, suitcase or other luggage item, or that are typically transported by an individual person. The system includes a number of storage and structure containers, each designed to enclose one or more portable items. The storage and structure containers may be loaded upon a loadable baseplate along with individual portable items and functionality components and, in turn, either inserted into an existing bag for transport or attached to a wearable frame having a shoulder harness and a wearable baseplate to function as a standalone system. The loadable baseplate may include many additional features, including light and/or sound-emitting components, location-tracking components, and/or other powered or passive functionality. Other embodiments are also disclosed.

Suspended load backpack
A suspended load backpack includes a moving frame including a bag for receiving a load to be carried by the backpack, a fixed frame including shoulder straps for holding the fixed frame in place on a wearer's back, and a rail assembly that connects the moving frame to the fixed frame but allows the moving frame to move relative to the fixed frame. A mounting wheel is connected to the fixed frame, and a compliant mechanism such as a bungee cord is connected between the fixed frame and the moving frame and wrapped around the mounting wheel to permit movement of the moving frame relative to the fixed frame during a gait of the wearer of the backpack in accordance with tension on the compliant mechanism. A ratchet assembly includes a lever that rotates the mounting wheel to easily apply tension to the compliant mechanism.
