A load support system (10) is provided including a flexible frame unit (18) attached to a shoulder support structure (16) and to a hip belt assembly (20). The frame (18) is pivotally attached to the hip belt assembly (20) and is held in a slightly bowed configuration, whereby the load is transferred from the frame (18) to the hip belt assembly (20) through pivot pins (76, 78) and a venting space is created between the frame (18) and a user's back. The shoulder support structure (16) preferably includes a pair of independently positionable shoulder straps (24, 26) that are removably attached to the frame (18). The hip belt assembly (20) preferably includes a load support belt (18) that may be coupled to the frame (18), and a hip pad (84) coupled to the load support belt (82) via a hook and loop fastening system. The load support system (10) may be used to support backpacks, and the like, or may be adapted for other applications including Scuba tanks support. The load support system (10) may be adjusted independently of the load and affords considerable freedom of movement when worn, due particularly to the pivotal attachment of the hip belt assembly (20) to the frame (18) and to the form of the flexible frame (18).
L'invention concerne un système (10) de transport de charge à armature flexible (18) fixée sur une structure de support d'épaule (16) et un ensemble ceinture (20) de hanche. L'armature (18) pivote sur l'ensemble ceinture (20) de hanche et est maintenue en configuration légèrement arquée, ce qui permet de transférer la charge depuis l'armature (18) vers la ceinture (20) en jouant sur des tiges pivot (76, 78). Il en résulte un espace de ventilation entre l'armature (18) et le dos de l'utilisateur. La structure de support d'épaule (16) comporte de préférence une paire de sangles (24, 26) d'épaule à positionnement indépendant, détachables de l'armature (18). L'ensemble ceinture (20) de hanche comporte de préférence une ceinture (18) de support de charge rattachable à l'armature (18) et un protège-hanche (84) rattachable à la même ceinture (82) de support par un système de bandes à boucles et à crochets. Utilisable pour le transport de sac à dos et autres, le système (10) de support de charge est aussi adaptable à diverses applications comme le transport d'une bouteille de plongée, il offre un réglage indépendent de la charge et une liberté de mouvement considérable en position, notamment par le rattachement pivotant de l'ensemble ceinture (20) de hanche sur l'armature (18) et par la forme de cette armature flexible (18).
