AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The invention is a hunting backpack that can be easily converted into a game transport cart. It includes a rigid frame and a removable internal backpack support frame. There are also axle attachment means and wheels stored in the backpack. An additional fabric layer overlies a panel on the forward-facing side of the pack bag to form a pocket for the rigid frame. The technical effects of this invention include convenient and easy conversion into a game transport cart, improved load carrying capacity, and comfortable carrying of gear.

Problems solved by technology

Even when field dressed, the weight of the deer carcass can exceed 150 pounds (68 kg), making it very difficult for a hunter to carry.
Even when designed for compactness, or constructed so that they can be taken down or folded, game carts are generally cumbersome, and increase the burden on the hunter, who also needs to be equipped with a rifle, ammunition, and other hunting gear and supplies.
However the frames themselves add to the overall weight of the backpack.

Embodiment Construction

[0023]The backpack 10, shown in FIG. 1A, comprises a pack bag 12, preferably formed by sewing together waterproof panels composed of reinforced nylon or polyester fabric. The pack bag has a rearward-facing side 14 and an opposite forward-facing side 16, which faces the back of the individual wearing the backpack. The pack bag has a top cover 18 connected to the lower part of the pack bag by a fabric hinge so that the top cover can be opened for insertion and removal of contents. Latches 20 are provided to secure the top cover in a closed condition. Two shoulder straps, one of which is visible in FIG. 1A as shoulder strap 22, form loops through which the wearer's arms are extended when the backpack is put on, and which engage the wearer's shoulders while the backpack is worn. Chest straps, one of which is visible in FIG. 1A as strap 24, are connected to a part of the pack bag near the top cover, and can be connected to each other in front of the wearer's chest. A waist belt is compos...

Abstract

A hunter's backpack comprises a pack bag having a forward-facing side positioned to face an individual's back when said backpack is worn. A rigid frame extends substantially the full width and height of the pack bag. The rigid frame is removably fixed to the pack bag adjacent the forward-facing side so that it serves as a backpack support frame for maintaining the shape of the backpack and transferring the load of articles stored therein. The rigid frame includes axle attachment means for removable attachment of a pair of axles to the frame, the axles being stored in the backpack. A pair of wheels is also stored in the backpack. The wheels are removably attachable to the axles and rotatable thereon. Thus, the rigid frame, when removed from the pack bag, can be assembled with the axles and wheels, to form a game cart.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]This invention relates to hunting, and particularly to a backpack especially useful to hunters in that it can be used as a backpack for carrying hunting gear and supplies, but incorporates components of a two-wheeled cart that can be assembled by a hunter in a forest at a hunting site that is inaccessible to a motor vehicle, and used to transport the carcass of a deer or other game animal through the forest to the vehicle.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The average weight of an adult male deer exceeds 200 pounds (91 kg). Even when field dressed, the weight of the deer carcass can exceed 150 pounds (68 kg), making it very difficult for a hunter to carry. The site at which a deer is killed is more often than not at a location in a forest that is far from a road, and inaccessible to a truck or automobile. For these reasons, it is common for a hunter to utilize a cart to transport a deer carcass from a hunting site to a vehicle parked at a remote location. V...
